The Life of a Son-in-Law in a Courtyard House

Yang Dalin brought the stroller to the ward.

Yang Dalin first laid out the baby stroller with a small blanket and quilt.

I took my eldest daughter from the nurse's arms and let her have a small stroller all to herself.

Then he put his two sons in another stroller that had been prepared beforehand.

Yang Dalin thanked the nurses again.

So I let them get on with their work.

Otherwise, how could he keep having several nurses here to help him take care of his child?

The three children were all asleep, quiet and still.

pretty good.

However, Yang Dalin hasn't fed Sister Yan yet.

We quickly made sure Sister Yan ate her meal while we had this opportunity.

During feeding time, Sister Yan worriedly said, "Dalinzi, these three little guys."

"Don't let there not be enough milk."

Yang Dalin pointed to the large pile of things he had prepared in advance and said, "Don't worry."

You forgot? I've already prepared the formula.

These are all the highest quality milk powders.

Do not worry.

These little ones won't go hungry.

Sister Yan hasn't had dinner yet.

My aunt rushed to the hospital.

It was obvious that the aunt had run away in a great hurry.

Panting heavily.

Yang Dalin first let his aunt calm down.

I asked my daughter first.

My daughter is in good health and there's nothing wrong with her.

Aunt Qi was finally relieved.

Then he looked at the three children one by one.

I learned that there were two boys and one girl.

I'm so happy!

Yang Dalin hadn't had a chance to tell his aunt that one of the two boys would give her the surname Chu.

Later, Chu Xiaoning returned with Ma San'er.

I could hear her calling from afar, "My eldest niece and eldest nephew are here too!"

As a result, Aunt Qi scared him so much that he swallowed his words: "Keep your voice down, don't wake up your niece and nephews."

"Watch out or I'll teach you a lesson."

Chu Xiaoning then lowered her voice a little.

They walked very carefully, afraid of waking the children.

Yang Dalin arranged a private ward at the hospital.

Otherwise, she would have to live with the other pregnant women.

That would be incredibly noisy.

Especially other newly born babies.

That loud, clear cry.

Those who can cook don't get enough rest.

This ward is relatively quiet compared to other rooms in the hospital with so many beds.

The children were clearly not woken up by their impetuous aunt.

She continued to sleep soundly.

Ma San'er and she looked at the children together.

Only then did Yang Dalin tell Aunt Qi.

"Auntie, there are two boys now."

I'll give the second son the surname Chu.

According to my Uncle Chu's generational hierarchy, why don't you suggest a name for me?

Upon hearing this, Aunt Qi burst into tears again.

This is a happy thing.

Yang Dalin helped wipe away her tears.

"Auntie, this is a happy occasion, don't cry."

Qi Yulan then calmed down and said, "Your Uncle Chu also fled from another place back then."

His family used to be extremely poor.

He wasn't famous at that time.

Let's call him Chu Datou.

He later joined a guerrilla force near the outskirts of Beijing, and it was then that his captain gave him a formal name.

It inspired him to strive for self-improvement.

I asked about his generation, and there is no generation with the character "Li" in the Chu surname.

However, I heard from your Uncle Chu before he passed away that his generation should be the same as the Ji generation.

He remembered telling me that one of his third uncles belonged to the "Jing" generation.

Later I asked around.

Their generational order should be: Jian Zong Xi Guang Huan, Jing Ji Yan Tong Zhao.

He belongs to the "Ji" generation, so his next generation will be the "Yan" generation.

Because Yanhua and Xiaoning were girls, they weren't ranked according to this order.

"Chu Yan what? I need to think about it carefully."

Is it the generation name with the character "延"?

Yang Dalin was also thinking, when Chu Xiaoning, who was standing next to him, said with great joy, "Mom, it's fortunate that we changed this little guy's surname to Chu."

Otherwise, if it were Yang Yan, it could just be called Yang Yanzhao, or Yang Liulang, which would be a much better name.

If we have a son later, we'll name him Yang Zongbao.

Haha, the entire Yang family generals!

Yang Dalin patted her forehead: "Get out of here. That's Yang Yanzhao, a famous historical figure. In fact, he was the eldest son, not the sixth son."

Yang Zongbao is a fictional character; his son's real name is Yang Wenguang.

Don't let people laugh at you.

The Yang family generals are fictional characters, but Yang Yanzhao was a real historical figure.

Didn't I tell you last time that my next generation will be the "Ting" generation?

You've been misattributed to this person.

Chu Xiaoning retorted, "Both the Ting generation and our Chu family's Yan generation are your sons."

Why not just change the generational names of your Yang family to "Yan"?

It would be so much better if they were all called Yan something.

You and my sister will have six more sons.

The eldest son was named Yang Yanping, the second son Yang Yanding (also known as Chu Yanding), the third son Yang Yangguang, the fourth son Yang Yanhui, the fifth son Yang Yande, the sixth son Yang Yanzhao, the seventh son Yang Yansi, and the eighth son Yang Yanshun.

Haha, my daughter can be named Yang Yanqi (Yang Bajie), Yang Yanying (Yang Jiumei), and finally Yang Paifeng (fire-tending girl).

Now the Yang family generals are all present.

Yang Dalin was surprised that his sister-in-law knew so much about the stories of the Yang family generals.

She treated her sister like a pig, having many children.

She's not afraid that her sister will work herself to death.

As a result, Chu Yanhua was too weak to deal with her.

The aunt immediately hit her: "Shut up, do you think your sister is a pig?"

There were eleven children.

Do you want to work your sister to death?

"Mom, Mom, I was wrong, I was just kidding."

Aunt Qi tidied up Chu Xiaoning and said, "Dalinzi, I think it would be good to refer to the names of the Yang family generals."

How about the name Yansi for Qilang?

"Chu Yansi means to continue the lineage of the Chu family."

Yang Dalin muttered a couple of sentences: "Continue the lineage, continue the lineage of descendants."

"I think it's a good idea, what do you think, Sister Yan?"

Seeing that her mother was happy, Chu Yanhua naturally agreed: "I have no objection, I think it's great."

Let's name him Yansi.

Aunt Qi said, "Alright, the second boy will be named Yansi."

Dalinzi, you'd better hurry up and name your eldest daughter and son.

We've all gotten the order wrong.

We haven't decided on names for our eldest daughter and eldest son yet.

The youngest son should get up.

Yang Dalin said with a smile, "Auntie, it's alright. Sister Yan and I had already discussed it before."

If the first child is only a boy, we'll name him Yang Ting'an, hoping he'll live a peaceful and safe life.

Her nickname is An'an.

Yansi's nickname was Pingping.

If it's a girl, we won't follow the "庭" character; we'll choose her name based on the poem associated with my sister Yan's name.

Her name is Yang Ke, and her nickname is Keke.

The last two lines of that poem are: "The beauty is indescribable, and the air is warm and harmonious all night long."

The next girl will be named Yang Jing, and the one after that will be named Yang Rong.

Of course, now that they have three children, they won't let Sister Yan have another one.

Having too many children is bad for your health and vitality.

When Aunt Qi heard that her eldest granddaughter was named Yang Ke and her eldest grandson was named Yang Ting'an, Yang Dalin truly doted on his daughter.

She called out softly with a happy voice, "Coco, An'an, Pingping, you have names now."

Okay, okay, that's how it'll be from now on.

Upon hearing that the names had been chosen, Chu Xiaoning joined Aunt Qi in softly calling out the nicknames of his niece and nephew.
