Bai Banban and Mrs. Zhen miss their daughter like crazy.
Sons were born one after another, until five sons were born, and there was no trace of the daughter.
One year, a fortune teller named Pojiao came to the village, and he was very accurate no matter who he told fortunes for.
Bai Banban couldn't help but do some fortune-telling. Taoist Pojiao mysteriously said that he and Mrs. Zhen would be blessed with a daughter, who would be the most valuable person in the world.
Others did not ask for money for fortune telling, but only received ten cents for a white board, saying that if they got a daughter, their family would be rich and prosperous, so he had to spend the money.
Bai Banban happily paid ten cents.
I don’t dare to think about gathering the essence of heaven and earth, just an ordinary girl with clear water will do.
Two months later, Mrs. Zhen had a dream.
In her dream, she saw a girl staggering towards her in the snow. She picked up the baby and the flying snow suddenly turned into blooming peonies.
Zhen woke up from her dream and felt vomiting and dizzy. She asked the village doctor to diagnose her pulse. She was already two months pregnant.
The couple were so excited because three generations of Lao Bai's family had not been able to give birth to a daughter.
It's okay now. The old Bai family's tradition of not having daughters is going to be broken by them.
Who would have thought that just after three months, Mrs. Zhen had a fall and had a miscarriage.
Bai Banban was so angry that he wanted to go to Taoist Pojiao to ask for the fortune-telling ten cents back, but Taoist Pojiao had disappeared to nowhere.
Zhen was so sad that she wanted to take good care of herself and have another baby, but she never got pregnant again.
The couple completely gave up their thoughts on their daughter, and instead placed their hopes on their two daughters-in-law. Since it is destined to have no daughter, it is okay to have a granddaughter.
The two daughters-in-law had very good bellies. They became pregnant as soon as they entered the house, and the birth of the child went smoothly.
However, they also have the same destiny as their sons, and they are always guided from birth to birth.
Lao Bai's family is full of men, and they all look like a monk's temple.
The hearts of the old couple felt like they had been poured cold water in winter, from head to toe.
Unexpectedly, a fat girl came to my side.
Looking at the beautiful baby in her arms, Zhen suddenly thought of that dream.
The milk doll was exactly the same as the doll walking towards her in the snow in the dream.
"Dad, do you still remember what that Taoist priest from Pojiao said before? He said that if we have a daughter...he also didn't say that the daughter must be our own biological child."
When Zhen mentioned the fortune-telling thing that year, Bai Banban was startled and thought of something.
"You can't believe what a crazy charlatan says..."
The white wooden board took a good look at the child in Zhen's arms. How come the skin was so tender and the eyelashes were so thick.
Zhen was speechless.
She believed that this child was the child in her dream who came to her in the heavy snow. Unfortunately, the child lost his mother as soon as he was born, and he could not go to burn incense in front of his mother's tablet.
She seemed to have a destiny with this child. She remembered how the child happened to be placed at their door, wrapped in a quilt with a picture of a hundred pomegranates she had embroidered.
She didn't know whose idea it was, or who put the baby away. I didn't dare to inquire in Huaicheng, lest someone do harm to the child.
Now that this child has come to her, she will risk her life to protect her child.
"I forgot one thing. The child hasn't been named yet," said Zhen.
"Daughter-in-law, if you know how to read, you can name your daughter one." The white board asked Zhen to make up her mind.
"It's up to you to get up. You've been waiting for your daughter for so long, and you can't mess with this name."
"Then we must not fool around." Under Zhen's insistence, Baiban no longer refused.
Mrs. Zhen rolled her eyes at the white wooden board.
"I have the nerve to say that I wasn't fooled. Of the five sons, the first three are called Dazhuang, Erzhuang, and Sanzhuang. What did you put into naming them? It's just a slap on the forehead."
"There are a lot of sons, you can't call them whatever you want. Why don't I name the fourth son Panmei properly? And the fifth son, Zhaomei, that's not a good name. There is no one with the same name in the whole village."
Seeing her man's guilty conscience, Mrs. Zhen stopped trying to expose his double standards and couldn't help but laugh: "My son can be named whatever I want, but not my daughter. We have to choose a name that can be used."
"That's right." Baiban agreed wholeheartedly.
His white-board adopted daughter, no, daughter, was safe and sound even after freezing in the snow all night. She is a child with great fortune and good fortune, and she is so lovable. She deserves to have a beautiful meaning and catchy words. Just Fukuzawa's deep name.
"How about calling it plum blossom?" Bai Banban thought of the day after his daughter came to his side, and a plum blossom burst outside the rented house.
Mrs. Zhen frowned. She felt that the beggar's name was too vulgar and did not suit her daughter's elegant temperament.
"The second daughter-in-law's sister's name is Meihua. Think about it again."
The white wooden board scratched his head and thought for a long time before an idea suddenly occurred to him.
"How about calling it Fushou? It means happiness and longevity."
Baibanban thinks this name is good, grand and meaningful.
"This... has a good meaning." Ms. Zhen shook her head slightly, "But the little girl's name is too heavy, and I'm afraid I can't bear it. Her mother is gone, and we will be her parents from now on. , I don’t ask for anything else, I just want her to be perfect and safe by our side in the future.”
This is Zhen's hope.
She experienced family breakdown when she was young, and knew that nothing was more important than a happy family together.
Just like now, even though we are so poor, our family can stay together peacefully.
"Then let's call her Fuyuan. Bai Fuyuan. I hope our daughter will be blessed with blessings and live a perfect life." The white wooden board finalized the name of the daughter.
Bai Fuyuan!
"This is a good name! My name is Bai Fuyuan, and my nickname is Yuanyuan." Zhen's eyes lit up.
The couple laughed and laughed, both satisfied with the name.
"Fuyuan, Yuanyuan, you will be my mother's treasure from now on."
Mrs. Zhen gently touched Xiao Fuyuan's face, fearing to wake her daughter, and said softly.
"Yuanyuan, I will be your dad from now on. When you grow up quickly, dad will be your horse to ride on."
Bai Banban also wanted to touch his daughter's face, but he just thought about it because he was worried that his rough hands would hurt his daughter.
very noisy!
Who is calling her?
The freshly baked Bai Fuyuan twisted his little head and slowly opened his eyes.
"Yuanyuan is awake! Yuanyuan has opened her eyes! My dear, look, our round eyes are so beautiful, she is looking at me..."
Bai Banban was very excited. This was the second time that her daughter opened her eyes. The first time was in Huaicheng Medical Clinic, when she opened her eyes to the doctor. This time it was different, it was opened to him. How could he not be excited? The big, round black eyes made the old father's heart tremble.
Mrs. Zhen couldn't help laughing when she saw her man's surprise.
Yuanyuan looked at the white wooden board and turned her eyes to Zhen. At this moment, Zhen's heart trembled like the white wooden board.
She now wished she could hug the pink ball in front of her and feel the pain in her heart.
Xiaofukuoka tried to open his eyes wide. His clear eyes were confused.
She saw two unfamiliar adults in front of her.
This is where? Why is it not the children's room that this baby is familiar with?
Xiao Fuyuan felt aggrieved, her nose turned sour, her mouth curled up, and her eyes were filled with water.
"Mom is here, don't cry!"
Mrs. Zhen quickly held little Fuyuan in her arms, rocked her gently, and patted the quilt rhythmically.
Zhen's warm embrace and soft words made Xiao Fuyuan feel warm in her heart, and she couldn't help but arch her arms into Zhen's arms.
mother?
Frame after frame of pictures flashed through my mind...
"Don't cry, Yuanbao. Baby Yuan will get well soon and grow up quickly. I will take you to ride the merry-go-round, swing on the swings, and fly a kite -" In the memory, someone held her in his arms, pressed against her face, and fell down. Tears murmured.
The sound is getting farther and farther away, becoming more and more blurry...
As nice as my mother's voice, as warm as my mother's arms.
Mom means mommy.
"Are Yuanyuan hungry? Dad will feed you goat's milk." Bai Ban board took out the goat's milk and warmed it, then took a spoonful and handed it to Fuyuan's mouth.
father?
Does dad mean daddy?
Xiao Fuyuan opened her mouth and drank a few mouthfuls of goat's milk, then rubbed her head in Zhen's arms. She felt sleepy, yawned, slowly closed her eyes, and rested her head on Zhen's arm as she fell asleep.
Zhen's heart turned into a pool of spring water again.
"Why did you fall asleep again? What a lazy pig, you haven't woken up for a while." Bai Banban was anxious.
"Why are you talking about my daughter? You are a pig. Stop nagging and disturbing your daughter."
Mrs. Zhen put Xiao Fuyuan on the mattress and glared at the white wooden board.
"Dad, take out the big box under the bed."
The white board leaned forward and struggled to pull out a dark red wooden box from under the bed. Zhen took the key, opened it and took out an azure-carved chinchilla cloak and a moon-white satin coat with jade pattern.
"How did you take them out? We only have these two pieces of clothing in total. It's just for your thoughts to keep them." Bai Banban was puzzled.
"Think about it or not. It's been so many years and it will rot if you keep it any longer. Why don't you take it out and give it to your daughter." Mrs. Zhen gently patted the fur on the chinchilla's cloak.
But you can't freeze your daughter. The chinchilla cloak is light and warm, and can be used as a mattress for her to rest on. The white jade-patterned satin jacket was made of fine material. I took it apart and sewed a new one-piece jacket and trousers for my daughter to keep warm.
