I don’t know how many people didn’t sleep well that day, but Mr. Zhang did.
Now he had nothing else to ask for, and he felt extremely relaxed, thinking that this was Xiaoya's first visit to Jiangcheng, and he played with her for several days before the group of people returned to Jin City.
Before leaving, Xiaoya followed the chief inspector to pay homage to his grandmother.
Jin City.
The secretary had been waiting outside the door for a long time. As soon as the people got off the bus, he asked anxiously: "How is it? Sir, can you still hold on?"
"I've been away for several days, and I..." The secretary couldn't finish the rest of his words.
I saw that Mr. Zhang's face was rosy and shiny, and even his wrinkles were stretched a little.
It seems like... I've gained a little weight.
There is fatigue, but more of it excitement.
"Xunyuan, come and see!" Mr. Zhang called the secretary's name.
"What do you want me to see?"
"Look." Mr. Zhang grabbed Li Xiaoya's hand and led her out of the car.
"I've seen it, sir."
"No, you haven't seen her before." Mr. Zhang smiled and said, "Let me introduce you again. This is my granddaughter."
The secretary understood, and couldn't help but smile on his face: "So this is the happy event you mentioned? Do you recognize Xiaoya as your goddaughter?"
"What goddaughter?" Mr. Zhang stared at him, but there was a clear smile on his lips, "Yes! Yes!"
"Why did she just..." get married? You can’t lie to children!
"You didn't expect it, did you? I didn't expect it either." Mr. Zhang paused, "She is Xi Nian's daughter."
The secretary seemed to be nailed there for a moment.
A long while.
Mr. Zhang said: "I won't stand here with you. It's windy. Little duck, let's go in with grandpa."
The secretary was startled, regained consciousness and grabbed Mr. Zhang's sleeve: "Really, really?"
Mr. Zhang said: "Pinch yourself."
The secretary really pinched herself.
"It hurts." He murmured, "Really...why? Why so suddenly? How did you find out? Please tell me quickly!"
Mr. Zhang is now as if he has just acquired a unique treasure, so he can't help but show off.
He pursed his lower lip and said, "Listen to me slowly..."
Before he finished speaking, the secretary read: "It's windy here."
After saying that, he bent down and carried Li Xiaoya through the door.
The secretary’s full name is Wu Xunyuan. He also served in the army when he was young. He is younger than Mr. Zhang and can hold a child without difficulty.
When he walked, he walked as fast as he could.
"Xunyuan, you..." Before Mr. Zhang could finish his words, his granddaughter was taken away first.
His lips trembled, and he quickly chased after him. He even forgot to use the crutches, and his legs and feet were extremely weak for a while.
The family doctor waiting at the door was blinded.
"...That's what happened." After entering and sitting down, Mr. Zhang roughly told Wu Xunyuan the whole story.
Wu Xunyuan has been with him for so long, and he can be considered half of his family.
Although he has a dark face, he cries very loudly.
"What a great New Year gift this is, there is no better gift than this..."
"yes."
"It's a pity that Xi Nian doesn't know..."
"Don't be afraid, I will write a letter and burn it to him tonight."
As the two of them talked, there was a tendency to cry together.
Li Xiaoya quickly handed the paper to Wu Xunyuan.
"Thank you, thank you." Wu Xunyuan took the paper but did not wipe his face, but murmured, "Good boy, really a good boy... so good, but suffered so much, and then think of the scenes in the show..."
Wu Xunyuan cried louder.
Li Xiaoya sighed quietly.
Well, let them cry.
It's just that the next day she will get two swollen eyeballs staring at her!
It was Sheng Yuxiao who said, "Do you have any ideas about the duckling's new name?"
The two people opposite them immediately stopped crying.
"New name? Yes, yes, there should be a new name!" Mr. Zhang's eyes turned cold when he thought of Li Jiang.
Now you don’t have to worry about having a last name that doesn’t sound too nice. Sheng Yuxiao said in her heart.
"Where's the dictionary? I have to look through the dictionary." Mr. Zhang couldn't hide his excitement.
"Would you like to bring over the three hundred masters of Tang poetry and Song lyrics?" Wu Xunyuan asked.
"Is there any other book of poetry that I can refer to... In short, it has to have a good meaning, beautiful glyphs, and a pleasant sound. It has to be well prepared. Yes, it has to be decided before the banquet, otherwise it will be difficult to write the invitation... Mr. Zhang said nonchalantly.
This time I completely forgot about crying.
"I have a name." Li Xiaoya said softly.
Mr. Zhang smiled kindly: "Yes, our little duck has a name. But it would be great if we can't change it to another name. Zhang Xiaoya doesn't sound like him, right?"
"That's not the name. My mother named me...'Shengxi'."
Everyone was stunned.
"What two words?" Qin Sui asked.
Li Xiaoya poured some water, dipped it in the water and slowly wrote on the table.
Mr. Zhang said: "The generosity has no corners, the great tool is easy to achieve, the loud sound is loud, and the elephant is invisible."
"It's a good name." Mr. Zhang sighed immediately.
"Then why do I still call you duck?"
"Because my mother said that in some places, being too unique is not a good thing. Others prefer you to be called a common name. So I hid that name and just called it Little Duck."
"The little duck is also very good. The duck always predicts the warmth of the spring river. It looks like the little duck brings spring." Mr. Zhang smiled from ear to ear. "It is indeed the little duck that brings spring to grandpa. ”
"But about changing the name..." Mr. Zhang's voice changed suddenly, "We still need to discuss it with your grandfather. We can give you two names, one with the Zhang family's surname, and one with your mother's surname."
"How about we make an appointment to meet up first?"
Mr. Zhang has already thought about preparing some kind of greeting gift.
"Then I have to go back to see my grandpa. I can't explain it clearly on the phone."
"Okay." Although Mr. Zhang was a little reluctant, he still nodded.
I thought that when the little duck left, their adults would be preparing for the banquet.
Sheng Yuxiao sent Li Xiaoya back to Gui's house.
I haven't been back for a while, and it was extremely quiet when I entered.
It was as if the atmosphere in the Zhang family had changed.
"Where is grandpa?" Li Xiaoya asked the servant immediately.
The servant said: "Sir, he went to meet his friends."
"I said the same thing last time..."
"Yeah, it's been a long time since I've been here."
Li Xiaoya frowned.
Sheng Yuxiao remembered the unusual breathing sound on the phone when she talked to the old man last time.
"Call and have a look." Sheng Yuxiao said.
Li Xiaoya nodded.
The call was answered quickly, and Wei Xuanming asked on the other end: "What's the matter?"
The tone didn't sound strange.
"I found my mom's boyfriend."
"Who?!" The tone on the other end suddenly changed, and his tone was cold and stern, "Are you with him now?"
"Grandpa, we can't be together anymore. Dad is dead."
“……”
Wei Xuanming's tone became depressed: "That's it, that's it...it turns out there are no clues, that's it."
Li Xiaoya roughly told what happened.
Wei Xuanming on the other end of the phone was silent for a long time. He didn't cry, and his breath didn't even change. After a while, he just said: "Okay, just take the Zhang family name. There's no need to meet, and I won't go to the banquet."
