Chapter 58 Naming Controversy
The heavy rain did not stop until dawn, and Mei Qian's family's boat was in fear for a long time in the rapid current of the Yuanjiang River.

I don't know if it was luck, but they actually found an island in the middle of the river on the wide river, so the whole family temporarily docked the boat there to take a breather.

Unlike canals, which are excavated rivers, there are no reefs and few undercurrents in the main channel.

It's different on the river. Even if their boat is not a big boat with a deep draft for hauling cargo, you still have to watch it carefully during the day to prevent it from hitting the rocks.

The above must be done when the wind is sunny and the river is calm. On this day, the water is turbid and fast, and the undercurrent is turbulent. Coupled with a night of windy and rainy boating, Mei Erhu and Mei Shitou are exhausted. It's time to take a break.

After mooring the boat in Jiangxinzhou, the uncle and nephew slept more heavily in the cabin.

Mrs. Mei, Mei Qian and other female relatives did not bother them at this time, walked out of the cabin and took a look at the surrounding environment.

"The rain last night was quite heavy, and Jiangxinzhou was also flooded a lot."

Mei Qian stood on the bow of the boat and glanced at Jiangxin Island. Much of the land was no longer visible, and she could only see a bunch of unafraid birds standing on the lush trees at the highest point in the middle of the river.

Mei Qian tilted her head and stared at them, and their beady eyes stared at Mei Qian.

Mei Qian: 0.0
bird:·.·
"Well, the water rises here is also fierce. Every summer, there will be summer floods in the lower reaches of the Yuanjiang River, and floods will occur if you are not careful.

When your grandfather and I fled south, we met a few people who had taken refuge in floods along the way. "

As Mrs. Mei spoke, she saw Mei Qian suddenly turning her head and staring directly at herself.

"Why are you staring at me?"

"Nai, are your words like a crow's mouth?"

Mrs. Mei: "..."

···
Mei Erhu slept until noon. Before he even opened his eyes, he laughed and startled others. When Mei Erhu opened his eyes, he was frightened by the people who gathered around and stared at him.

"What are you doing?"

Mei Erhu was shocked by the crowd watching.

"Second uncle, shouldn't we ask you this? What are you doing? Why did you dream that you laughed like this?"

"I dreamed that your aunt gave birth to a son~"

"Dad, is it possible that this is not a dream?"

Mei Qian's voice accompanied by the child's whining made Mei Erhu suddenly think. He sat up straight and turned around to see Mr. Jiang sitting opposite, holding the child and smiling.

Mei Erhu raised his hand and rubbed his eyes vigorously, and murmured in disbelief: "My dear mother, is my son really born?"

Mei Erhu murmured. As soon as Mrs. Mei came in from the outside, she heard Mei Erhu speak stupidly and clicked her tongue.

Mei Qian gave up her seat, and Mei Erhu immediately came up and sat next to Jiang. His eyes were bright, looking back and forth between Jiang and the newborn child. After looking for a long time, he suddenly breathed out: "This child Why don't you look after Qianqian when you were a child?"

"what?"

The topic inexplicably came to herself. Mei Qian had seen her appearance in the system space. To be honest, she didn't look like Jiang or even Mei Erhu.

No, even Mrs. Mei said: "What's that look in her eyes? Qian girl looks like her grandfather, and even her brain is good."

Mrs. Mei didn't know why she made up her mind with those words.

After she finished speaking, she glanced at the child in Jiang's arms and said, "This child looks like the second daughter-in-law."

Mei Qian also stretched her head and took a look.

Well, how should I put it?

She can't see it_(:3 ∠)_
The expressions of the father and daughter looking at the baby were exactly the same, with the same doubts and confusions. Seeing them like this, Mrs. Mei felt that she would be angry if she looked at them even more. She glared at Mei Qian and said, "Don't imitate you." Dad looks so stupid!" Mei Qian:?
Mei Erhu:?

"What is this child's name? I haven't decided on a name yet."

At this time, Mrs. Jiang asked in a low voice the name of the child. From yesterday evening to early this morning, the whole family was in chaos because of the rain, Rui Jiang and her busy giving birth. The child still has no name even after he was born.

"This kid's brother's name is Shitou, so he'll be called 'Shidan'."

As soon as Han heard the name, he immediately became excited and chose a name that people didn't know how to evaluate.

"Isn't this bad? Wasn't the name Shitou because Shitou was weak when he was born? My father asked the fortune teller to give him a stronger name, so I chose Shitou."

Although Mei Erhu doesn't have much culture, he still has a little taste for names.

What the hell are stone eggs?
Even Mei Qian couldn't complain. She was afraid that her father would agree, but fortunately, he didn't.

Mrs. Mei was speechless when she heard this.

As soon as the old man opened his mouth, he looked at the middle child and his family of four, who knew nothing except the young one. His expressions didn't look like they agreed, right?
Even Shitou, who was watching on the side, heard the naming and got angry at him. He waved his hands repeatedly and said, "You don't have to shout after me, do you?"

It’s just a plum stone, but what is a plum stone egg?
"You are the eldest brother. If your younger brother doesn't follow you, whatever he does will belong to the Mei family... Then won't the second uncle follow your father? Your father's name is Mei Dahu, shouldn't he be called Erhu?"

"Then if we follow the word, wouldn't the stone also be called a stone? The name of the stone was chosen because of what the fortune teller said."

Mei Erhu felt that what he said was very clear. Why was his sister-in-law still stubborn?
The name Mei Shi Dan is really... hard to come up with!
Mei Qian looked at it, then looked at her grandma and said, "Grandma, why don't you help my parents give my brother a nickname? How about we wait until we get off the boat and find a fortune teller when we get to Anding?"

Seeing Han like this, Mei Qian wanted to say something to her father, so Mei Qian simply gave her a suggestion based on the origin of Mei Shitou's name.

Hearing Mei Qian's suggestion, Jiang and Mei Erhu nodded repeatedly.

Anyway, just don’t call it Stone Egg.

Seeing this, Mrs. Mei glanced at the baby in Jiang's arms, and agreed, saying: "Let's call it 'Yusheng' as a nickname. From now on, find a fortune teller to check it out before picking it up."

Mrs. Mei made the final decision, and now no one was bothered about the name of the child.

However, the sun has reached noon, and Mei Erhu has also woken up. No, Mrs. Mei called out Mei Erhu and Mei Shitou on the bow of the boat, commanding them to try to find a large ferry or dock tonight or tomorrow morning.

"What cities are there along the Yuan River? Where should we go after getting off the boat?"

Mrs. Mei was talking to Mei Erhu and others about crossing the river outside, and Mei Qian asked about it in the cabin.

"From the canal, the closest place to us should be Huaichu. If we go further downstream along the Yuanjiang River, we may reach Qizhu."

Cui'er has been to Jiangnan by boat before, and the names of some places are not unfamiliar at all.

"However, I heard the old lady said that for safety reasons, she planned to go further south. There are many waterways in the south, and the rivers are crisscrossed. If you don't want to lose the boat, I think it is more likely to go to Huaichu."

"Huh? Waterway? You also need to take a boat?"

Han almost had the words "vomiting on the boat" hanging on his forehead.

What Han said was what everyone was thinking. It was quite refreshing for Mei Qian and the others to sit on this boat in the early days, at least they didn't have to run around on their own legs. However, after a while, they no longer want to take the boat anymore.

There was lively chatting in the cabin. Mrs. Mei entered the cabin after telling Mei Erhu and Shitou about crossing the river outside. As soon as she entered, she heard Han and the others talking about taking the boat.

Seeing Mrs. Mei come in, Mei Qian helped everyone ask about Mrs. Mei's plans. Mrs. Mei nodded repeatedly and said, "We won't take the boat anymore. We have to find someone to find out what's going on."

 I'm finally getting off the boat and getting popular.
