Chapter 1146: Chapter 1146: Chaos With Chickens Flying and Dogs Jumping 7

Lu Jiang was carrying the bossy Xiaosi around the house when he froze at the words, "I thought you’d save that name for Xiaosan. Xiaosan is so well-behaved; aside from the necessities of eating and using the toilet, he’s never given us a moment’s worry."

Although most of his energy was focused on Xiaowo, he still had a heart full of love for Xiaosan and Xiaosi.

Feng Qingxue looked at the son lying quietly beside her, eyes filled with concern and love, "An old leader is the head of a nation, radiant and illuminating the earth, the most blessed and noble person in the world. I hope the name given by the old leader will bless Xiaowo with a safe and long life of a hundred years."

"Sure!" Lu Jiang agreed without hesitation, "Let’s also give Xiaowo a nickname, something lowly to make him easier to raise; the worse the name, the better."

Xibao cut in, "I’m Xibao, my sister is Fubao, should we call my brother Xiaobao, is that good?"

"You have three younger brothers, though? Should they all be called Xiaobao?" Hearing her eldest son’s childish words, Feng Qingxue’s anxiety eased slightly, and she couldn’t help but reveal a faint smile, "It would be hard to tell three Xiaobaos apart!"

Fubao, who was lying on the edge of the bed looking at his brother, suddenly said, "How about calling him Dogbao?"

"You mean like ’Cow’s Yellow’ and ’Dogbao’? That’s really vulgar!" Feng Qingxue’s first reaction was just that. If they really did name Xiaowo Dogbao, he would definitely hate his only sister when he grew up.

"I actually think Dogbao is quite nice," Lu Jiang remarked.

Feng Qingxue gave him a look, "What kind of father are you, insisting on a lowly name?"

Lu Jiang responded innocently, "Throughout history, many famous people had lowly names. Listen, Duke Cheng of Jin was called Black Buttocks, Empress Lü was called Partridge – it means wild chicken, Emperor Wu of Han was called Zhi, which is why many people call him Emperor Liu Wild Pig. You like painting, you should know the nickname of Gu Kaizhi, right? I remember it’s Tiger Head; Tao Yuanming was called Creek Dog; Zhao Kuangyin was called Fragrance Child; Bao Zheng was called Three Blacks; Wang Anshi was called Badger..."

"Enough, enough, enough, you’re dead set on naming Xiaowo Dogbao, aren’t you?"

"Dogbao is pretty good, it matches with Xibao and Fubao."

"No, it’s too ugly. I’m afraid Xiaowo will resent me when he grows up." Feng Qingxue thought for a moment, "The Five Blessings arriving at the door are fortune, emolument, longevity, happiness, and wealth. With Xibao and Fubao already taking two, let’s call Xiaowo Shoushou, wishing him a long life of a hundred years!"

Lu Jiang’s eyes widened, "You plan to name Xiaosan and Xiaosi Lubao and Caibao? That’s even worse than Dogbao!"

"You think Dogbao sounds nice, and Shoushou doesn’t, so what should we name him?" asked Feng Qingxue.

"Let’s not use ’bao’ anymore; we already have Xibao and Fubao in the family, there’s no need to insist on such precious names." If they really named the children according to the Five Blessings, outsiders would surely laugh at their family’s excessive desire for fortune and blessings.

Feng Qingxue nodded in satisfaction, "That’s the right attitude. A nickname doesn’t need to be so similar."

Realization dawned on Lu Jiang, "Oh, you tricked me!"

Beyond Xiaowo’s formal name, they couldn’t come up with any suitable names for the time being, so they temporarily called them Xiaosan, Xiaosi, and Xiaowo.

"Don’t forget to write to dad, let the old man know," Feng Qingxue reminded him.

Lu Jiang scratched his head, "I actually did forget."

Feng Qingxue closed her eyes, "I’m going to sleep; you go send the letter."

Lu Jiang waited for Tian Ling to come with food and asked her to look after his wife and children. Then, he took Xibao and Fubao to send a telegram to Father Lu, an urgent telegram, with just one sentence: "Triplets, mother and children safe, please name the other two quickly."

At eight cents a word, the message was sent quickly to Wanglou Brigade.
