Yu Haitang didn't say anything, just stood there, looking at Xu Damao quietly.

Xu Damao felt a little embarrassed when he saw it.

This happened in front of Lou's father.

It's a bit too much indeed.

"Um...Where's Xiao'e?"

"Xiao'e was lying in the house. She knew you were coming and insisted on coming to pick you up. I had to persuade her for a long time before she stopped. The journey was long and it was inconvenient for her to move. There was a family doctor next to her who was watching over her the whole time."

Between Lou Xiao'e and Lou's father, Xu Damao indeed chose the former.

After saying that, he hurriedly followed Yu Haitang to the backyard.

As soon as Xu Damao left, several women followed him to the backyard, and the originally bustling hall suddenly became quiet.

Father Lou glanced at the many people following Xu Damao, and envy was evident in his eyes.

Now he has not brought his concubine and son over, not because he doesn't want to, but because he can't.

Qin Jingru was like a happy lark, chattering non-stop around Yu Haitang. She told Yu Haitang everything about the scenery she saw along the way and the things she didn't understand, asking Yu Haitang to answer them for her.

Yu Haitang was in trouble. Why did she come out with her belly bulging? Just to talk to Director Xu, but now she had no time at all.

It feels like Qin Jingru did it on purpose.

Li Tianjiao smiled with his eyelashes curved as he watched this scene.

With Qin Jingru around, there is always fun to be had.

No wonder Yu Haitang said the distance was far. There was indeed some distance from the hall to the backyard. This manor was really big, with artificial rockery and rivers. It was possible that this was the residence of some celebrity in the past.

From a distance, I saw Lou Xiao'e standing at the door.

Xu Damao originally wanted to say "You've lost weight", but looking at Lou Xiao'e's current plump appearance, Lou Xiao'e used to be the plump type, but now she has obviously gained a lot of weight.

"What's that look in your eyes? Do you dislike me for being fat?"

"How could that be? It's better to be fatter, it brings wealth."

Having finally come here, Xu Damao had no scruples. He took Lou Xiao'e's hand and carefully helped her back to the room.

Yu Haitang was used to it, so she didn't feel anything when she saw this scene.

Instead, Li Tianjiao walked at the back.

"Don't get caught in the crossfire at this critical moment. Do you like sour or spicy food?"

"You want to ask if it's a boy or a girl? I checked at the hospital and it's a boy. I don't mind eating anything sour or spicy."

Li Tianjiao suddenly felt a little bored. She would not have come if she had known this. Although it seemed that Xu Damao had registered with her, she could feel that in Xu Damao's heart, Lou Xiaoe was still the most important person.

Originally, she came here this time just to show off the registration certificate and highlight her importance, but now it is completely unnecessary.

Because she has already understood that in Xu Damao's heart, Lou Xiao'e is the irreplaceable person.

It makes no difference whether it's a boy or a girl.

What is this called?

The first love is pure emotion without any conflicts of interest. If the other person can help you in your career, then he or she is truly an irreplaceable white moonlight. Just like Ma Dajiao to Zhu Chongba.

This is called deep affection and loyalty.

Before Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e could say a few words, people crowded around them.

"Did you receive the clothes that Sister Huairu made for you?"

"How do you feel now?"

The way he treated Lou Xiao'e was obviously much warmer than the way he treated Yu Haitang in the hall.

And these people changed the topic very quickly.

"Is a personal doctor your exclusive doctor? Will he be by your side all day long?"

Within a few minutes, the conversation turned to what to name the child.

"Damao said before that if it's a boy, we'll name him 'Ganggui'. We asked a fortune teller to tell us the name and he said it's a good name and it will bring good luck to the family, so we'll use this name. We've already told the heavens and the earth and our ancestors, and it's written into the family tree."

Xu Damao:......

He was just talking casually at that time, how could this be written into the family tree?

Moreover, the family tree has a strict order from generation to name. How can such a strange name be included in the family tree?

If it's a grandson...it seems like there's no problem.

Moreover, the Feng Shui atmosphere here is so strong. Lou Xiao'e is a serious high school graduate. It has only been a short time since she started to believe in fortune-telling from the ancestors of the heavens and the earth. It is probably because everyone around her believes in this, and she has been influenced by it and unconsciously believes in it a little bit.

Before in Beijing, no one believed it, so no one believed this.

Xu Damao originally wanted to change his name again, but now that he has already offered sacrifices to heaven and earth, it would be inappropriate to change it.

"Haitang, have you chosen a name for your child?"

"No, the hospital examination showed it was a girl. Brother Xu, what do you think we should name her?"

In order to think of a good name, Xu Damao actually learned about some naming formats. For example, in the past two hundred years, the educated naming method is to use the Book of Songs for boys and Chuci for girls. The name has a meaning and is usually chosen before the baby is born. When the baby grows up to the age of 20 and has the coming-of-age ceremony, a respected elder will give the baby a "character", which is usually a supplement to the meaning of the name.

In the past few decades, many literati named themselves basically like this. Generally, only close people could call them by their "zi". However, due to some reasons at the time, the "zi" was not widely circulated. People only knew their names but not their zi. Over time, it declined.

However, most of those familiar names come from ancient books and allusions, not just "The Book of Songs" and "Chu Ci", but also "Laozi", "Zhuangzi" and "Li Sao", which use a lot of ancient books and allusions in their names.

If you are curious, you can check the story behind the name of a master you like.

After learning about this, Xu Damao felt that the name "Ganggui" was a bit too casual.

Then the children are named according to the family's inherited generations. This is usually the main way of naming for uneducated families. So in the past, one could guess a person's family background from his name.

The most famous emperors of the Ming Dynasty named their children according to the order of the five elements: wood, fire, earth, metal and water.

But in ordinary people's homes, there are generations.

For example, the generation number of Xu Damao's family is "Ben Li Ke Hong Yu Ding Zhi Cheng Xue Shi De Xing Da Guang Yuan Chuan Ji Zuo Guo Guang", with "generation number" added between the name and the surname.

(The generations of the Xu family in different regions may be different. This is the generation of the Xu family in a certain area of ​​the Central Plains. In some places, the pronunciation and customs vary from place to place. Due to the underdeveloped transportation and communication, even if the surname is the same, the generations in different places are different.)
