Chapter 1029: Chapter 1034: Name
"Hold on, I’ll write them down and pick slowly."
Tan Zhenghong hurriedly said, lest he really couldn’t remember so many similar names.
Before long, a large white paper was filled with names.
Qiao Duo’er propped up her chin and said, "I can’t do this, decision paralysis is setting in. I feel like every name is good, but at the same time, none of them seems right..."
How could she be so contradictory?
She knew full well that a name was just a label, that whatever it was wouldn’t make much difference.
"How about we first pick a few, then let Green Group and Tangyuan draw lots to decide?"
Tan Zhenghong suggested.
He and Duo’er would first go through the list, eliminating the implausible names. The ones they couldn’t decide on would be left for the two little ones to choose.
Qiao Duo’er looked at the two innocent little ones. "Will they blame us later for being too arbitrary?"
Drawing lots was a bit too... outrageous.
"We should give them the right to choose. If they have any objections later, they can change their names themselves, it’s not difficult," Tan Zhenghong confidently stated.
Qiao Duo’er went through the names again but still couldn’t make a decision.
She steeled her heart and decided to adopt Tan Zhenghong’s method.
It wasn’t long before Tan Zhenghong was ready.
"Green Group, Tangyuan, your dad and I have picked three names each for you. Just grab one, and the one you pick will be yours."
Qiao Duo’er arranged the options, in front of Green Group were Hui, Chen, and Yin, and in front of Tangyuan were Yi, Si, and Yun.
For a long time, there was no movement from them.
Tan Zhenghong suddenly realized something. "Wife, do they understand what we’re saying?"
After all, they were only a bit more than a month old.
Qiao Duo’er stroked her chin. "Let’s wait a bit longer; they might be thinking. Give them some more time."
During her pregnancy, she often let them choose what they wanted to do or eat, so choosing a name could be similar and shouldn’t be too difficult for them.
After a while, Green Group picked up the character for Chen, and Tangyuan picked up the character for Yi.
Following their earlier agreement, Green Group’s full name would be Tan Shaochen, and Tangyuan’s full name would be Tan Shaoyi.
"These little things made quite the choice; Chen symbolizes treasures, and Yi symbolizes memories. Together, they mean precious memories," Qiao Duo’er gave a thumbs up.
Aren’t precious memories what one values most in life?
The two little ones certainly didn’t disappoint her!
Although Qiao Duo’er knew it was just a coincidence, she couldn’t help feeling smug.
Tan Zhenghong ruffled the little ones’ heads. "They’re worthy of being our kids. Oh, and there’s one more thing. I want to add our daughter’s name to the family register, and add another rule to the family regulations: Descent of the Tan Family and those who marry Tan women shall not take concubines."
"That means we have to work even harder to give our girl more confidence," Qiao Duo’er said without any objections.
Love is always selfish. With a third person involved, happiness is impossible.
But to enforce this, they would have to ensure the girls had something to be proud of, such as powerful financial resources, strong authority, or enough prestige.
Tan Zhenghong patted his chest. "You’ve got me!"
He couldn’t stand seeing his precious daughter suffer anyway.
"Aww... ooh... ooh..."
Green Group and Tangyuan started speaking in baby talk that Qiao Duo’er couldn’t understand, but she could tell they were in a good mood.
The two-month-old babies still treated sleeping as their main job and didn’t have the energy to stay awake long before they closed their eyes.
But even then, the corners of their mouths still curled up slightly.
No wonder they were happy – with open-minded parents and pleasing names, how could they not be?
