Chapter 363 Dabao and Xiaobao’s Birthday Banquet
Because Lu Shuyan had a normal birth, she stayed in the hospital for two days before going home. During this period, Ruanruan and Huo Haoshen, as members of the Huo family, went to the hospital to visit her the next day. After that, when she was in confinement, they asked the village to exchange some eggs and some nutritional supplements and sent them to them.
The child's name was decided after he was discharged from the hospital. Just like before, the old man gave the child several names and let Huo Haoshen and the others choose by themselves. Lu Shuyan had heard from Ruanruan before about the process of them choosing names for the two babies. She thought it was very interesting, and she followed Ruanruan's example and wrote down the names that her grandfather had thought of on a piece of paper. She held her son's chubby hand and let him choose the name he pointed to.
In this way, the name of Huo Haoshen's first son was decided so hastily. His full name was Huo Wenxun and his nickname was Donggua, because he looked too much like a winter melon when he was born, and winter melon happened to be a popular food during that time.
When they learned of this nickname, the others thought that it was a good thing that they were not the ones to choose the full name, otherwise they would be afraid that the child would not recognize them when he grew up.
Of course, after Huo Wenxun went to kindergarten, they were not allowed to call him Donggua by his nickname anymore because he wanted to save face.
As the weather grew colder day by day, it rained and snowed in Yuncheng on the day Lu Shuyan was released from confinement.
For the sake of everyone's safety, Huo Haoshen did not hold a full-month banquet for the child, but the brothers still prepared red envelopes as greeting gifts for the child. Ruan Shaoke and others gave all of them to Huo Haocheng to pass on.
As for the others, they worked, ate and lived together, so they were given to Huo Haoshen directly when they left for work in the morning.
But time soon arrived at New Year's Day, which was also the day when Dabao and Xiaobao turned one year old.
Early that morning, the weather was very kind. After several days of rain, the sky cleared up. After breakfast, Ruanruan and Huo Haocheng started to prepare.
When it was almost 10 o'clock, people started to arrive one after another. The first to come were Chaoxi and Su Yanqiu, a couple who lived with them.
"Dabao, Xiaobao, your auntie is here. Wow, today you have two beautiful and cute babies!" As soon as Chaoxi entered the door, she saw Dabao and Xiaobao drinking milk.
Today is their birthday, and Ruanruan dressed them in red clothes embroidered with little tigers and butterflies. These clothes were made for the children by their grandmother and great-grandmother in Beijing, which shows the care and love of the two old people.
"It just so happens that the little gift that auntie prepared for you goes perfectly with your clothes today." As she said that, Chaoxi took the bag from Su Yanqiu's hand and took out a little tiger doll and a little rabbit doll from it. These two dolls were made by her herself, and they were filled with new cotton. They were plump and very cute.
"Dabao and Xiaobao, hurry up and say thank you to your aunt and uncle." Dabao and Xiaobao were holding the two little dolls, looking extremely happy, and Ruanruan was standing by and teaching them how to say thank you.
They could call "Mama" when they were over 8 months old. Later, Ruanruan taught them to call people every day. Today they called "Dad", tomorrow they called "Grandma", and the day after tomorrow they called "Grandpa". Until now, they can only say some reduplicated words.
"Take a break"
"Take a break"
Dabao and Xiaobao had not said thank you yet. Now when they heard their mother say thank you, they followed suit, but they did not say it very clearly.
"You're welcome. Our babies are so smart." Chaoxi was really touched by the sight of the two children happily saying thank you to her while holding the dolls they made.
"If you like children, just have one earlier, and then you can have fun as you please!" Seeing that the two had been married for such a long time but there was still no news, and looking at the appearance of the child, Ruanruan liked it so much that she also joined the army of urging people to have children.
"Ahem, we're not in a hurry yet." When Chaoxi heard Ruanruan start to induce labor, her face turned red. Su Yanqiu, who was standing next to her, coughed twice in embarrassment, and then said embarrassedly that there was no hurry, which meant that they had not had enough of their world of two.
Huo Haocheng's eyes also swept over Su Yanqiu a few times. The two looked at each other tacitly and immediately looked away.
If Ruanruan hadn't suddenly become pregnant, Huo Haocheng would have still wanted to spend two more years in their own world, but he was also very happy to have two little babies.
Soon, they arrived one after another, and the house, which was not very lively at first, suddenly became lively.
"Come, Dabao, Xiaobao, take a look at what birthday presents we have prepared for you."
I don't know if it was a pre-planned discussion, but what each person gave was different, but it was all in line with the personality of the gift giver. Ruan Shaoke and Bo Sirui still gave a big red envelope as usual, while Ruan Shaolin carved two wooden guns for the children.
Ruanruan can understand giving a gun to Dabao, but as for giving a gun to Xiaobao as well, Ruanruan can only let him fend for himself.
You know, given how much Huo Haocheng loves Xiaobao now, it would be impossible for him to train her to be a soldier in the future. So, when Huo Haocheng came out of the kitchen and saw Xiaobao holding a gun in her hand, he was so angry that he wanted to hit someone.
If it weren't for the wrong occasion.
He walked forward, stuffed the rabbit doll that Chaoxi had given Xiaobao into Xiaobao's arms, and then quickly snatched the gun away. When he left, he didn't forget to glare at Ruan Shaolin who was still trying to tease Xiaobao.
Ruan Shaolin was so scared that he could only hide behind Ruan Shaoke.
When the others saw this, they also laughed.
Dabao and Xiaobao didn’t know what the adults were laughing at, but when they saw them laughing, they laughed along with them.
This scene really melted everyone's heart.
Soon it was noon. Huo Haocheng put two tables together, spread a blanket on them, and placed the things for the "Zhuazhou" ceremony on them, letting Dabao and Xiaobao grab them by themselves.
Huo Haocheng first carried Xiaobao up and said, "Xiaobao, go and have a look. If you like something, bring it to Mama."
Ruanruan, who was standing aside, just glanced at Huo Haocheng, and then stood right in front of Xiaobao so that Xiaobao could see her at a glance.
Soon, Xiaobao climbed around on it and grabbed a bundle of big unity and brought it in front of Ruanruan.
Seeing her precious daughter draw a bundle of money for herself, Ruanruan said, "That's fine, but I don't know who is so creative. Don't other people use an abacus when drawing lots? Why do they just put a bundle of money in it?"
Regardless, the catch is done.
"Okay, our Xiaobao will have endless money in the future." After hearing what Huo Haoshen said, the case was solved, and it was him who let the person go.
Huo Haoshen was really happy to see Xiaobao grab a bundle of money.
Then it was Dabao's turn. His target was clear. He crawled over and picked up the wooden spear that Ruan Shaolin had just given him.
"See, I knew that our Dabao would be a soldier in the future." When Ruan Shaolin saw that Dabao was holding his wooden spear, he started to show off again, completely losing his cowardly look just now.
"Yes, yes, yes, you are right..." The others were used to his behavior and gave him face today and responded perfunctorily.
After drawing lots, the food began to be served.
At noon, everyone celebrated Dabao and Xiaobao's first birthday party with great enthusiasm.
