Unexpectedly, Helian Qiao who was currently breastfeeding started wailing loudly, "Wah!!!!!!"
"Boom——"
The sky suddenly rumbled with thunder, startling Li Chunhua.
Ma Xiulian also put down the rag she was holding and quickly walked over, nervously and anxiously asking, "What's wrong? Why is our Guibao crying?"
Li Chunhua guiltily hung her head low, "She must have choked because she fed too quickly."
Helian Qiao glared at her accusingly, "Ah ya ya ya~"
Milk, this bad woman pinched me!
However, she was too young to make an "accusing" face.
In any case, her grandmother didn't notice.
Seeing that she stopped crying, Ma Xiulian started gently patting her back to soothe her, "Guibao, don't rush, drink slowly, ah."
Helian Qiao had no choice but to channel her grief and anger into drinking milk ferociously.
Li Chunhua, who had luckily escaped from trouble, didn't dare to fool around anymore.
After drinking up the milk, Chen Honghong took her little niece in her arms and fussed over her again.
Ma Xiulian then took out a basket and put several eggs and two bunches of leafy greens into it, "Let's go with mom to the educated youth station."
Chen Honghong asked in a puzzled way, "What are we going there for?"
Ma Xiulian replied, "To let Li Zhiqing give a name to our Guibao."
She had already made inquiries. Li Zhiqing was the most educated among the educated youth, even the head of the production brigade admitted it.
Upon hearing this, Chen Honghong became a bit jealous, "Mom, you never cared about me like this when I was a kid."
Ma Xiulian shot her a glance in irritation, "It was enough that you could grow up at that time."
Chen Honghong thought for a moment, then nodded, "That's true."
Back when they couldn't afford to eat, there were so many families selling their daughters. But no matter how hungry her parents were, they never thought about selling her for food.
So the mother and daughter, with one carrying a basket and the other holding Helian Qiao, went to the station of the educated youth. They were soon surrounded by a group of female educated youth.
"Oh my, Madam Chen, your granddaughter is so beautiful!"
"Her eyes are so big, like glossy black grapes."
"Her little face is chubby, both white and tender, cute as a steamed bun."
Even the male members of the educated youth couldn't help but sneak a peek, and then they couldn't take their eyes off her.
This girl is so pretty and likable!
Helian Qiao calmly let them look at her, as it didn't affect her food in any way.
Hearing their praises, Ma Xiulian was happier than when she received compliments herself, grinning from ear to ear.
Li Zhiqing soon came up with a name, "A girl should be charming, let's call her Chen Jiao, and we can call her Qiaoqiao for short."
"Chen Jiao? Qiaoqiao."
Ma Xiulian repeated the name to herself a couple of times, the more she said it, the more she liked it. Then she clapped her hands excitedly, "The name's good! Thank you, Mr. Li."
Helian Qiao also expressed her agreement by letting out a soft "Ah". She was already called Qiaoqiao.
After that, Ma Xiulian insisted on leaving some gifts and slowly headed back home with her little granddaughter.
The summer night was not as hot as the day, and the occasional breeze wouldn't make the baby feel cold.
While they were walking, suddenly a white shadow came straight at Ma Xiulian's legs and bumped into her.
The force was so great that even the robust Ma Xiulian who was used to the heavy farmwork was startled and stumbled a bit.
Ma Xiulian was instantly furious, and she kicked the white shadow a meter away with her foot, "What the hell dared to bump into me?!"
She was still holding Guibao!
What if it hurt the child?!
Chen Honghong, young and sharp-eyed, took a close look and cried out in surprise, "Mom, it's a wild rabbit!"
As she spoke, she quickly ran over and picked up the rabbit that was still dazed.
