Chapter 1105: The Funny Chapter of Changing the Name
After the exam, Cheng Jinnian’s vacation is almost over.
Before the end of the holiday, the family got together for a small meeting.
The topic of this meeting was Cheng Jinnian's name change.
This is a very meaningful event for a family.
This matter must be handled with caution, so I waited until the children got home from school to discuss it together.
Shen Huaian changed his name at the beginning and continued to use this name afterwards.
Now the key is Cheng Jinnian's name. Should he just change his surname, or change both his given name and surname?
The whole family sat together and everyone was discussing this issue.
Jiang Wan is usually very busy at work and rarely has time to take a vacation.
Because of this big event today, I stopped what I was doing.
As elders, Shen Changping and Yun Zhilan sat in the main seats and personally led the matter.
Jiang Wan and Cheng Jinnian sat on either side, with several children sitting around them.
As the head of the family, Shen Changping spoke first.
"We gathered everyone together today mainly to discuss the names of several children."
"Everyone knows what happened in my family. My son Jinnian was swapped when he was a child, and now he has been using someone else's surname for so many years. It's time to change it back."
Shen Changping briefly explained what had happened and let everyone in the family know about it.
"Jinnian, as the person involved, you should say a few words first."
Cheng Jinnian stood up and spoke first.
"I've used the name Cheng Jinnian a lot, and to be honest, I'm used to it."
"But this is not my real name after all. I want to say goodbye to the past completely, so I want to change both my given name and my surname."
After Cheng Jinnian finished speaking, he looked at Jiang Wan, hoping that she could help him with some advice.
"Wanwan, you are the most educated person in the family, so I'll leave the important task of naming to you."
Jiang Wan originally just wanted to sit down and listen, but she didn't expect that she would be asked to help choose a name.
Jiang Wan thought about it for a moment and soon came up with an idea.
"How is Shen Yichuan?"
"Mountains are majestic, rivers are vast, and our Jinnian is an officer in the army. Of course, his name should be vigorous and powerful, and it also implies a broad mind and strong will."
Jiang Wan expressed his thoughts, and before Cheng Jinnian could react, Shen Changping was the first to stand up and applaud.
"Good! What a good name, Jinnian. What do you think of this name?"
"Shen Yichuan, the unshakable mountains and rivers, is very good and very bold. I like it very much."
"If my parents think this name is good, then it will be decided."
After saying this, Cheng Jinnian turned to look at Yun Zhilan, waiting for her reply.
"I also think this name is pretty good. My family is well-educated and knows how to give names. I like it too."
The name was unanimously agreed upon by everyone and was soon finalized.
Next are the names of several children in the family.
Shen Huaian has changed his name and registered it.
Cheng Zewen and Cheng Zewu were not originally registered, so they were just called by their given names.
Now that we have to change the name, of course we have to change it to something better.
Everyone turned to look at Jiang Wan, apparently wanting her to use her brain again.
Jiang Wan smiled and rubbed his temple, saying helplessly.
"I will try my best to think about it, and everyone should think about it too."
"Naming is not a trivial matter. Let's all brainstorm together and don't let me think about it alone."
"Although I have written a few articles, I don't have much experience in naming, so don't count on me too much."
Jiang Wan smiled and laughed, giving everyone the chance to name something.
After hearing what Jiang Wan said, everyone started scratching their heads and racking their brains.
"Shen Kaihuai, Shen Kaixin?"
"My grandchildren have suffered so much in the past, and I just hope they can be happy in the future."
Yun Zhilan racked her brains and came up with these two names.
As a result, as soon as she said it, everyone voted it down.
"No! This name is too rustic!"
When Shen Changping heard the name, he shook his head repeatedly and rejected it directly.
"My grandson survived a great disaster and will surely have good fortune in the future. We must be careful when naming him. How can we give him such an old-fashioned name?"
After Shen Changping refused, Yun Zhilan's face looked a little unhappy, and then she said fiercely.
"If you think the name I gave you is not nice, then you can choose one yourself!"
Yun Zhilan seemed to be angry, but actually, nothing happened.
She likes to act coquettishly with her husband and deliberately say something harsh to him.
Shen Changping's original train of thought was interrupted again, and then he said a stupid name.
"Shen Youfu, how is Shen Youcai?"
Yun Zhilan cursed for a while and just took a sip of water. When she heard the name, she spat it out and almost laughed out loud.
"Shen Changping, are you kidding?"
"These two names are even more vulgar than mine. Are you trying to be funny?"
"Who would choose such earthy names as Youfu and Youcai in this day and age?"
"You are so good and yet you come to laugh at me. I think you are just here to make fun of me."
Shen Changping's face turned slightly red after hearing what his wife said, and he was speechless for a moment.
"My name may sound a little bit rustic, but at least it has a good meaning. It's not that bad after all. Why are you laughing at me?"
"Come to think of it, your previous name was not only unsophisticated but also had no meaning. It's really not as good as mine."
Shen Changping decided to defend his dignity, so he argued with his wife.
The two quarreled for a long time, and finally stopped after their heads ached.
"Alright, alright, don't forget about the business. Let me think about it."
As soon as Cheng Jinnian said this, everyone looked at him eagerly, waiting for his answer.
Cheng Jinnian was suddenly stared at by so many people and immediately felt a sense of pressure. He pursed his lips and didn't say anything for a long time.
"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious, let me think about it carefully."
Cheng Jinnian scratched his head and found that naming a child was extremely difficult.
It has to sound good and have meaning, and it has to satisfy everyone.
It is really not easy to choose a name that meets so many requirements.
Cheng Jinnian thought for a while and felt his head aching. He shook his head and didn't want to think about this problem anymore.
While everyone was still looking at him expectantly, Cheng Jinnian suddenly smiled at everyone.
"I really can't think of it, so I'll let you think of it."
"Wanwan, I'm a rough person and I find it hard to think of a name."
"I really can't do it, so I can only rely on you."
Jiang Wan originally thought that Cheng Jinnian had already thought about it, so he didn't think about it.
Who would have thought that after waiting for such a long time, Cheng Jinnian, oh no, it should be called Shen Yichuan now, actually said that he couldn't do it. It was really a headache.
"Then, let's think about it together."
"Everyone brainstormed, but no one could come up with a suitable name."
"I'll be thinking along with you two little ones, too. If you have any names you like, you can suggest them. If they're suitable, I can give them to you."
