Chapter 258 Naming at the Full Moon Banquet

On a sunny weekend, the hotel's banquet hall was brightly decorated and bustling with activity. The full-month celebration for Li Shiqing and Zhang Chen's son was being held there.

The banquet hall was filled with flowers and balloons, and friends and family chatted and laughed, exchanging pleasantries. Li Shiqing wore a beautiful dress; although her figure hadn't fully recovered after becoming a mother, her face radiated happiness. Zhang Chen, on the other hand, was like a proud rooster, introducing his beloved son to everyone he met.

Li Shiqing's father, Liu Xuan, dressed in a sharp suit, greeted the guests with a kind smile. Her mother, Li Yuan, bustled about, glancing frequently at her beloved grandson with eyes full of affection.

The second sister, Liu Yixin, six months pregnant, walked slowly with the support of her husband, Fu Yu. The third brother, Liu Qicheng, and his wife, Yang Xuexue, were also helping to greet the guests.

Zhang Chen's parents chatted with everyone with smiles on their faces, clearly adoring their grandson.

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, everyone took their seats.

At this moment, Zhang Chen's father picked up his wine glass, stood up, and said, "Today is my grandson's one-month celebration, and I'm so happy! This little guy's presence makes our family even more lively. However, the child still doesn't have a proper name. We're all family, so why don't we take advantage of today's lively atmosphere and think of a name for him together?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's interest was immediately piqued.

Li Shiqing's mother, Li Yuan, was the first to speak: "I thought about it for a long time and felt that Zhang Zirui was a good name. Zi means vibrant and growing strong, and Rui means intelligent and wise. I hope this child will be both smart and healthy in the future."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Chen's mother nodded immediately: "Yes, that's a good name; it sounds cultured. But I also thought of one: Zhang Yifei. 'Yi' means carefree and unrestrained, and 'Fei' implies soaring to the sky—it's so powerful!"

Li Shiqing's father, Liu Xuan, stroked his chin and said with a smile, "What you all said is correct, but I think we need to choose a unique and grand name. How about Zhang Yuqing? Yu represents the vast world, and Qing means standing tall and upright. I hope this child will be responsible in the future and achieve great things in the vast world."

At this moment, Liu Yixin, the second sister sitting next to him, couldn't help but laugh: "Dad, your name is too domineering, it feels like you can save the world as soon as you step out the door. I think it would be better to choose something cute, like Zhang Nuonuo, it sounds adorable."

Her husband, Fu Yu, chimed in, "Yes, this name sounds so endearing; the child will definitely be loved by everyone."

The third brother, Liu Qicheng, was not to be outdone. He said, "Your names are all too gentle. I think boys should have a masculine spirit. Let's name him Zhang Yaowu, so he can be majestic and awe-inspiring in the future."

His wife, Yang Xuexue, gently patted him: "Show off your strength? Why don't you just call yourself Yangwei? That name is too exaggerated."

Everyone chimed in with their own opinions, engaging in a lively discussion. Zhang Chen and Li Shiqing sat in the middle, listening to everyone's suggestions with beaming smiles.

Zhang Chen said with a smile, "Everyone's suggestions are very nice, but I want something more special that can reflect our unique love for our child."

Li Shiqing rolled her eyes at him: "Tell me, how is it special?"

Zhang Chen scratched his head, thought for a moment, and said, "How about we name her Zhang Nianqing, to commemorate our meeting and getting to know each other? I will never forget you, and I hope our child will be loyal and affectionate in the future."

Li Shiqing blushed and whispered, "You're so good at talking."

At this moment, Fu Yu, who had been eating quietly beside them, suddenly spoke up: "I have an idea. Four-character names are popular now. How about Zhang Chen Shiyu, which combines the names of both of you? And 'Shiyu' means timely rain, symbolizing bringing hope and nourishment to people. How wonderful would that be?"

Everyone thought the name was very creative and nodded in agreement.

Liu Xuan frowned: "A four-character name is quite unique, but it doesn't feel like a traditional name. Will the child's classmates laugh at him when he goes to school?"

Li Yuan also said, "Yes, I still think traditional three-character names are easier to pronounce."

The debate has reignited.

At this moment, the waiter began to serve the dishes, one delicious dish after another was brought to the table, but everyone's mind was still on the child's name.

Seeing everyone arguing, Zhang Chen's father smiled and said, "How about this, we write down all the names we think are good and decide by drawing lots. It's a kind of fate."

Everyone found this idea interesting, and they all wrote down the names they wanted on slips of paper and put them in a box.

Zhang Chen stood up, smiled, and said, "Then I'll be the referee. Does everyone agree?" Everyone nodded in agreement.

Zhang Chen closed his eyes, rummaged through the box, and finally took out a piece of paper. He cleared his throat and deliberately kept everyone in suspense: "Everyone, be quiet. The moment to witness a miracle has arrived."

Li Shiqing patted him anxiously: "Stop dawdling and hurry up and read it."

Zhang Chen unfolded the note and read aloud, "Zhang Zirui."

Li Yuan said happily, "Haha, the name I chose is perfect! This child will definitely be smart and successful in the future."

Everyone laughed and agreed that the name was indeed good. Just as everyone was about to raise a glass in celebration, Liu Yixin suddenly clutched her stomach and cried out, "Ouch, my stomach!"

Fu Yu immediately tensed up: "What's wrong, honey? Is the baby feeling unwell?"

Liu Xuan and Li Yuan rushed over, their faces filled with worry. Li Shiqing, forgetting about the baby's name, hurriedly said, "Quick, call the doctor, what if the baby has been harmed?"

The banquet hall erupted into chaos. Fortunately, Liu Yixin only had an upset stomach and was otherwise fine. Once everyone breathed a sigh of relief and returned to their seats, the atmosphere relaxed again.

Zhang Chen laughed and said, "It seems today's full moon celebration is full of surprises! The baby's name has been decided, and my second sister had a false alarm. Come on, let's toast to Zhang Zirui and to our whole family!"

Everyone raised their glasses, and laughter echoed throughout the banquet hall. This full moon celebration, though made lively by the naming ceremony and a minor mishap, was also filled with deep family affection and love, making it unforgettable for everyone.
