Jiang Sao finished feeding the children and then left.
Children always behave after a good al. Both kids were lying on the bed: one was sleeping, and the other was sucking on a little hand. Su Yunjin and her husband Gu Ya watched their children, feeling they could never get enough of watching them.
The two children resembled their parents, with the boy looking like Gu Ya and the girl like Su Yunjin, especially around their eyes and eyebrows which were nearly identical. Su Yunjin pinched the child’s little hand and turned to Gu Ya with a smile.
"Husband, the children still don’t have nas! What do you think we should na them?" Su Yunjin had already thought of nicknas. At that ti, since she didn’t know whether the baby was going to be a boy or a girl, Su Yunjin ca up with one nickna for a boy and another for a girl, so they’d be prepared for either. Now that she had given birth to twins, both nicknas she had thought of could be put to use.
Su Yunjin hadn’t thought of formal nas for the children; she had thought of the nicknas while being the mother, so the task of thinking up formal nas fell to Gu Ya, the father. He had already pondered the nas and written them all down.
"Yunjin, I have written down the nas for the children on paper, I’ll bring it over in a couple of days for you to choose." A thick stack of paper bore the nas that Gu Ya had thought of for the boy and girl.
Su Yunjin nodded with a smile, "Husband, when you bring them, we’ll choose together." Gu Ya was educated, and it was said that he did quite well in his studies while at school, so Su Yunjin believed that the nas Gu Ya had chosen for the children would definitely be good.
The formal nas were decided upon.
Now it was just a matter of the nicknas.
"Husband, the children in the village all have nicknas. What do you think we should nickna ours to make it sound good?" Unlike formal nas, nicknas can be casual, as long as they have a pleasant aning and roll off the tongue easily.
Gu Ya had considered formal nas but hadn’t really thought about nicknas. When Su Yunjin ntioned it, he paused and said truthfully, "Yunjin, I haven’t thought of nicknas."
"Husband, I have thought of two nicknas; let’s call the brother Yuanbao and the sister Tiangua. What do you think?" Yuanbao was easy to say and had a good aning. Su Yunjin gazed at her son, "Little Yuanbao? Do you like the na Mommy has given you?" Little Yuanbao didn’t respond, but his little legs kicked out strongly. Gu Ya laughed and said, "Yunjin, he’s just been born, how could he understand what you’re saying?"
Gu Ya had no objections to the nicknas his wife liked for the children. "Yunjin, let’s go with Yuanbao and Tiangua then!" Yuanbao and Tiangua? Gu Ya found the na Yuanbao unremarkable, but Tiangua was a nickna for his daughter that he had never heard before and found quite novel.
"Yunjin, how did you co up with the na Tiangua for our daughter?" Gu Ya looked at his wife, his deep voice filled with affection.
Su Yunjin smiled sweetly and coyly, a foxlike cunning in her eyes, "Husband, don’t you think ’Tiangua’ sounds nice?" Tiangua, Tiangua, wasn’t their little girl their sweet little Tiangua?
Maybe it was the fresh experience of giving birth and becoming a mother, but the wife’s smile was gentler and more charming than usual, dazzling Gu Ya for a mont. Without thinking, he blurted out, "It sounds nice." Of course, his wife’s chosen nas sounded nice.
Su Yunjin pinched her daughter’s little cheek.
Little Tiangua had another layer of aning.
Tiangua ans sweet lon.
Su Yunjin hoped that the life of her Little Tiangua would be as sweet as her na implies.
