Chapter 1003: Chapter 1007: The Name
It was said to prevent postpartum illnesses.
After one application, Qiao Duo’er felt every pore on her body open up.
"Wife, go ahead and walk around a bit while I change the sheets," he said.
Although the Ground Dragon was heating the room, Tan Zhenghong insisted on draping a garment over Duo’er before allowing her to get down.
Once he had finished tidying up, Qiao Duo’er eagerly lay down on the neat and clean bed, which completely changed her mood.
After a while, Tan Zhenghong brought over another quilt.
"Didn’t we agree that Almond would keep watch tonight?" Qiao Duo’er said helplessly.
She had thought she could sleep separately from Tan Zhenghong for a few days.
Nowadays, people believed that the postpartum room was awash with vibrant qi, which could harm men’s health, especially during the first few nights, which were particularly taboo.
Tan Zhenghong rolled his eyes, "Could anyone else attend to you as well as your own husband?"
He wasn’t ignorant of the rules; he simply preferred to follow his own heart.
Because she had slept too much during the day, Qiao Duo’er wasn’t very sleepy at night, so she lay in bed chatting with Tan Zhenghong off and on.
"We haven’t even picked the baby’s name yet and this time, two came at once; it’s really giving me a headache," she said.
Qiao Duo’er was quite frustrated because Tan Zhenghong had long entrusted her with the task of naming.
But the vast and profound nature of Chinese characters made it difficult for her to settle on names.
Now, with two names to consider, she was even more at a loss.
"I spoke with the village elders about setting up a family shrine, and they asked us to select new generational names from our family genealogy. Once the generational names are decided, we can establish a new shrine. However, the choice of generational names is crucial, so I’ll still need to discuss it with others. How about we first come up with some nicknames?"
The choice of generational names was linked to the fate of future progeny and could not be taken lightly.
"You do need to take that seriously; what about nicknames like Green Group and Tangyuan?"
Qiao Duo’er suggested, having developed a fondness for these names during her pregnancy.
Moreover, the two little ones were plump, fitting the image of Green Group and Tangyuan perfectly.
She wasn’t in a hurry about their formal names; she could think about those later.
In the village, many people feared the King of Hell would claim the lives of their children, so they waited until the children were older to name them, casually using nicknames like Dog Egg, Puppy, or Piglet. Only by growing up with such rough nicknames could the children be tough.
Tan Zhenghong squinted and said, "That sounds great, but I’m just afraid you won’t be able to resist nibbling on them."
After all, the twins’ names were already so adorable.
"A tiger doesn’t eat its cubs; I would never do such a cruel thing. If you have no objections, shall we decide joyfully on that?" Qiao Duo’er raised her eyebrows.
"Then there’s no problem!" Tan Zhenghong agreed promptly.
Green Group and Tangyuan sounded cute, and it was easy to differentiate between the boy and the girl.
During the night, the two little ones were still fussy, but the intervals between their fussiness grew longer, allowing them to sleep alone for nearly two hours.
While sleeping soundly, Qiao Duo’er was awakened by soft crying.
"Wife, don’t move; I’ll bring them to you," Tan Zhenghong quickly got out of bed first.
Qiao Duo’er sat up, leaned back on the pillow, and half-closed her eyes as she fed them milk.
Raising children is truly not a job that leaves one’s mind at ease.
In just this half night, she had fed them three times, and by the time it was light, she probably had to fuss with them two more times.
Being first-time parents, they had already experienced the full spectrum of emotions involved.
The next day, the news of Duo’er having Dragon and Phoenix Twins spread, and many people came to their door to offer gifts and congratulations. 𝖓𝔬𝖛𝔭𝔲𝖇.𝔠𝔬𝖒
This included Bai Yifan, who greatly displeased Tan Zhenghong.
"You’re such a quack, you didn’t even tell me my wife was carrying twins," Tan Zhenghong glared at Bai Yifan.
