Chapter 1799: Chapter 1179: The Grand Finale_5

Moreover, starting this year, the implementation of family planning means those who were eager to give birth can no longer do so! Just thinking about this makes them laugh even in their dreams.

Comparison is innate to humans; it’s not that they want to compete, but others always find reasons to compare with you. Since that’s the case, don’t blame us for thinking this way!

As for Chuxia, when she learned it was a daughter, she regretted it deeply. Although she initially thought Zhou Mikang might have made a mistake, she had hoped for a daughter, imagining how wonderful it would be to wear matching outfits with her daughter.

Oh... sadly, family planning is really being enforced. Otherwise, she would have wanted to have another child to compensate for her regret.

In just two days, Chuxia recovered. During the transition from spring to summer, the weather was pleasant, and she really wanted to take a stroll, but the elders insisted on keeping her in bed; matters about postpartum recovery cannot be taken lightly!

"Xia, you mustn’t force yourself. Generations have followed this way, and your body has adapted to it. You mustn’t ignore it and risk future chronic conditions; regret would come too late!" Zhao Yulan seriously warned her daughter. She was so worried in the past two days that she stayed close to her, afraid Chuxia, being young, might do something reckless.

Chuxia hurriedly promised, "Mom, I understand. I’ve already promised you all that I won’t sneak out. That day, the sun was exceptionally nice, and there was no wind, so I thought of getting some fresh air."

"That’s still not okay. You mustn’t entertain such thoughts in the future. Once you’re done with postpartum recovery, you can go wherever you want, and mom won’t stop you..." Zhao Yulan said, while gently stroking the little one staring wide-eyed at her, "Xiao Yuer, grandma and mom aren’t arguing, don’t be afraid..."

Indeed, the chosen name was for a girl. Originally, the elders’ idea was to have a name ready for both a boy and a girl, but the Division Commander Tongzi insisted this child was a daughter. Since Chuxia had been particularly fond of spicy food, everyone went along with his idea and only picked a girl’s name. Unexpectedly, the actual outcome was entirely different, leading to a last-minute name change.

Xiao Yuer’s name was Zhou Mikang’s creation, as he felt the youngest son wasn’t the anticipated result, like an extra. So he jokingly suggested calling him Xiao Yuer. Chuxia was defeated by his odd naming style and compromised to name the child Xiao Yuer instead of Xiao Yuer.

Otherwise, when the son grows up and asks what his nickname means, how would she explain?

As for the child’s full name, it hasn’t been finalized yet. The elders suggested pondering over it some more, and Chuxia had no objections to that.

The full moon celebration wasn’t grand, only close relatives and friends were invited.

Midway through the event, Old Master Zhou stood up and cleared his throat, "Today, in front of everyone, I want to announce something: our Xiao Yuer will take the surname of the daughter-in-law’s family..."

His gaze turned to the completely stunned Zhao Yulan and Lin Baohe, "Xiaomi told me he hopes the youngest son becomes your grandson. I also think this suggestion is particularly good.

Though it’s merely a surname issue, everyone wishes to have a legacy to pass down through generations, and I’m sure you hope so too. Therefore, us in the Old Zhou family made this decision without consulting you.

The delay in naming was waiting for you to decide. We didn’t inform you sooner because we felt Chuxia needed quiet recovery time immediately after birth. Now there’s nothing to worry about, so we can naturally announce it."

This possibility had crossed Chuxia’s mind, so after a moment of shock, she calmed down. She looked up at the Division Commander Tongzi playing with Xiao Yuer beside her, and a deeper smile appeared at the corners of her lips.

There’s no need to ask; it’s clear this was his suggestion. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been announced after a month. After all, such a matter is very rare in this era, and it’s reasonable for the elders to have taken their time to consider it.

However, just one month without any complications showed the husband’s family truly valued her opinion; rest and recovery were not excuses.

Zhao Yulan and Lin Baohe finally came to their senses. The couple’s first reaction was to stand up and refuse. What kind of family is the Zhou family? How could they readily accept such a decision?

"Baohe, Yulan, don’t push back. We’ve considered this matter maturely; if I said we thought this way from the beginning, that would be a lie.
