Why it never ends

"I just know it!" the little girl shouted loudly, "I had a dream the night before yesterday, and I dreamed that my sister came to play with me! She said that she is still young and can come out to accompany me next summer. She also told me-"

Before the little girl finished speaking, the man in a suit sitting opposite her had already put down his chopsticks.

"Children, please don't interrupt when adults are talking." The man put down his chopsticks in a small way, but at this moment when no one spoke except the children, the sudden impact shocked everyone's nerves. He himself also noticed that this action was a little bit... Too harsh, but with a fatherly look on his face, "Eat well."

The little girl didn't look at her father anymore, but just crawled into her mother's arms.

Xu Ruyi laughed quickly and looked at her daughter, "...What did you just say? Have you already thought of the name of the child?"

The woman nodded, and just as she was about to continue, the man opposite took over, "I said, if it's a son, let's call him Shi Lihe - I've been thinking about this name for a long time, but I haven't used it yet."

"What a good name," Xu Ruyi agreed, "it's catchy when you pronounce it."

Hesta, who was sitting at the other end of the table, confusedly understood the second half of what the man said. She looked at Ding Yuqing and said, "...What are everyone talking about? Who is Shi Lihe?"

"My sister's unborn child, my brother-in-law had already thought of a name when they got married, and has kept it ever since." Ding Yuqing replied calmly, and then switched to the southern [-]th district dialect, "The time is harmonious, the weather, the place, the people are right. and,"

"what is this?"

"The 'timing' means having good opportunities, the 'geographical location' means having a good environment, and 'harmony' means having everyone's support." Ding Yuqing squeezed a smile in the direction of the man, "In any case, the main thing is that the brother-in-law has It’s a good last name.”

"Your brother-in-law and his family are all good at naming names," Xu Ruyi continued, "'Pingchuan' is not a bad name. If you have children in the future, you can also ask your brother-in-law to give advice."

"Pingchuan?" Hesta grabbed another name, "Who is Pingchuan?"

"That's my brother-in-law." Ding Yuqing pointed to the man in a suit not far away.

"Does this name also have a special meaning?"

"It's a flat river." Ding Yuqing looked at Hesta, "Have you not learned idioms yet?"

"idiom?"

"...Forget it, it's not important," Ding Yuqing said softly, "'Yima Pingchuan' means a piece of land that is wide and flat, and you can gallop your horse on it - it also expresses a wish for a smooth life."

"Same as 'Gan Zhi Ru Ye'?" Hesta asked.

Ding Yuqing's expression froze for a second, "That's still...a little different."

"Interesting, so each of your names also has an allusion," Hesta looked at Ding Jiali thoughtfully, "What does your name mean?"

Ding Jiali laughed and said, "Mom, tell me."

"We, Li Li, didn't call him this when he was little. He used to be called Ding Jiayi, Jiayi Jiayi, Jiayan Yixing." Xu Ruyi took over, "Because the word "yi" was too difficult to write later, he chose his own name when he was older. 'Li' is the name."

Ding Yuqing glanced at her mother and said, "...I also want to change my name."

"The procedure is very troublesome. Now that you are so old, it will only become more troublesome." Xu Ruyi looked at her daughter helplessly, "And your name is not difficult to write and sounds nice."

Then, Xu Ruyi looked at her husband, "There is also your uncle, his name is Ding Guisheng, which means 'don't value life' in "Spring and Autumn", which means people should cherish life."

"What about 'Yu Qing'?" Hesta asked, "What's the deep meaning of Yu Qing?"

"...The sky will clear up after the rain." "Because it rained the day I was born, and after I was born, the weather outside just turned sunny, so my grandpa gave me this name. Oh, and my sister, her name is Ding Xueyang: Snow and sun." Ding Yuqing looked at Hesta, "What do you think the weather was like on the day she was born?"

Xu Ruyi laughed at the side, "As we ate this meal, it turned into a Chinese class."

Hesta's eyes turned to the little girl hiding in her mother's arms, "Where is she?"

Ding Xueyang smiled slightly, patted his daughter's back gently, and whispered, "The eldest sister over there asked you what your name is. What is our Miao Miao's name?"

The little girl turned her face slightly and exposed one eye in the direction of Hesta, but did not speak.

"It's called Shi Yimiao. Shi Jia Yimiao," Ding Yuqing replied softly, and suddenly laughed, "That's good. Anyway, it's out of the circle of our weather forecast."

Hesta frowned slightly, "Why isn't she called 'Shi Lihe'? Didn't you say that your sister and brother-in-law decided on the name of the child when they got married?"

Ding Yuqing smiled, "Good question, why?"

"You can't give random names," Xu Ruyi replied from the side, "Some names are too big, and the little girl can't bear them, so she won't be able to raise them."

Hesta didn't understand, "...pressing for what?"

"Oops." Ding Jiali shook his head, "There are so many details here that I can't explain right away."

Ding Guisheng finally couldn't hold it any longer - whenever the people at the table spoke to Hestad, everyone would take the initiative to switch to common language, as if acknowledging that letting Hestad understand is the first priority, but everyone seemed to have forgotten At the dinner table, he could not understand either Common Tongue or District Three.

He coughed twice, attracting everyone's attention, and then turned to look at Methnan.

"What did you say your name was? Missing the South... right?"

"Yes." Mei Sinan nodded.

Ding Guisheng smiled and said, "Is it the name your mother gave you?"

"Yes." Methnan replied, "My father was not around when I was born."

"My first guess is that only women would name their children like this." Ding Guisheng sighed, "What did you come to Orange Town to do? Is it also to study?"

"Sinan dropped out of school," Ding Jiali answered proactively, "He was studying in the school in the North [-]th District... right?"

"Yes. I took a year off from school."

Shi Pingchuan frowned, "...suspended school? What's wrong? Did something happen?"

"That's right," Mesnan's eyes dropped slightly, "Wandering around."

"He has a friend who is seriously ill and has been hospitalized in Songxueyuan for a long time," Ding Jiali looked at Mei Sinan, "You have already visited him, right?"

"Yes, but we can't visit every day," Mesnan replied. "The visiting time is limited every day. If I occupy it, his mother can't enter the ward. So now I go there once a week."

"...Just have fun nearby for the rest of the time?" Ding Guisheng asked.

"This seems to be quite popular among students nowadays," Shi Pingchuan said softly, "What is it called? Gap year, right?"
