The Farm Girl's Charismatic Fortune-Chapter 271 - 267 Xuanbao’s Well-Chosen Name

The midwife finished cleaning up half an hour later.

As she came out, she congratulated them with a smile, accepting the red envelope containing five taels of silver from Old Lady Zhang, and left cheerily after offering a string of kind words.

Ruo Xuan and the others went in to see Liu Wenyao and the child.

Ruo Xuan looked at the little cousin whose face was flush, skin wrinkled, sparse hair still smeared with a bit of blood that hadn’t been wiped clean: So ugly!

Human babies are really ugly! And smelly!

Luckily, she wasn’t human!

Madam Liu couldn’t help but tease her at the sight of Xuanbao’s disdainful expression, "Xuanbao looked exactly like your little cousin when she was born!"

Ruo Xuan widened her eyes, "How is that possible?"

Zhang Lei interrupted, "Auntie must be misremembering, right? Xuanbao was fair-skinned and delicate the moment she was born, with thick, jet-black hair. But the brother is so ugly!"

Zhang Rui added, "Right! Xuanbao was so beautiful, incredibly pretty from birth."

She didn’t dare to say that one brother was uglier than the other, both being ugly and frail.

Zhang Mei nodded, "Xuanbao has always been pretty, but why do the two brothers look different? Aren’t twins supposed to look identical?"

Upon hearing this, Ruo Xuan felt relieved!

She knew her mother was fibbing!

Madam Liu explained with a smile, "All newborns look like this; they will become cuter in a few days. There are twins who don’t look very alike. Mei, you are amazing for being able to tell the difference."

Zhang Lei questioned, "Different? I think they look the same, just one is chubbier and the other is skinnier. Is the chubby one the elder brother?"

Zhang Chengye was observing his wife. Since she had delivered the twins effortlessly, Liu Wenyao was in good spirits and her hairdo was still neat.

He felt relieved and only turned to look at his sons after hearing his daughters’ comments.

Old Lady Zhang had not immediately checked on her grandsons, instead she smiled while holding Liu Wenyao’s hand saying, "You’ve worked hard these past years."

She was aware that she had been quite harsh to her daughter-in-law in the past; it was all because she feared not having a grandson. The thought of the Zhang Family with no heir was unbearable for her.

From now on, she would definitely treat Madam Liu better.

Liu Wenyao shook her head, "It’s not hard; it is my duty."

Old Lady Zhang said nothing further. Actions speak louder than words, and she was also eager to see her grandsons.

And sure enough, the two grandsons did not look identical; one had features resembling her son, and the other her daughter-in-law, yet both were very frail.

Raising twins was harder than raising a single child. Old Lady Zhang thought of Zhang Xiaoli’s malicious prayers and quickly stopped herself, spitting a few times but still feeling uneasy.

Having her grandsons cursed as soon as they were born was distressing for her!

She couldn’t help but mutter under her breath, "Heavenly Father, I am willing to trade ten years of my life for the longevity and health of my grandsons. Disregard my unworthy daughter’s prayers; I do not consent!"

Ruo Xuan realized why she had said this!

She responded, "Grandmother-in-law, don’t worry. My little cousins are blessed and will surely grow up healthy and safe. Mother, where are the gifts you prepared for the little cousins?"

Old Lady Zhang hurriedly replied, "No need for gifts; your words alone are enough to set my mind at ease."

She believed Xuanbao’s words were even more effective than the incantations of the fortune-teller from the back street.

If Xuanbao said her grandsons would grow up healthy and safe, then it would certainly be so!

Ruo Xuan explained, "It’s a jade artifact blessed by a master, capable of warding off evil and ensuring safety. The master said if the little cousins keep it close, it will attract good fortune and avert misfortune, ensure good eating, good sleeping, and even if they take a fall, they won’t get badly hurt."

It wasn’t a master who had blessed the artifact, but rather a Magic Artifact imbued with Immortal Technique by her.

Human infants have underdeveloped limbs and only start walking around the age of one, and taking even longer to gain dexterity. Anyway, she also felt her fingers weren’t very nimble right now, often pricking herself with the embroidery needle — all because her body was clumsy.

So she gifted her little cousins each an Amulet!

That way, they wouldn’t need to be afraid of falling when they were learning to walk, protected by her Immortal Technique.

Madam Liu took out two tiny Peace Buckle pendants and gently placed them on top of the swaddle, "These Lucky Charms are gifts from your auntie. Wear them for a life of peace and prosperity." frёewebηovel.cѳm

Liu Wenyao said with a smile to her two sons beside the bed, "Look how much your auntie loves you. When you grow up, you must be very good to your auntie, okay?"

After listening to this, Granny Zhang didn’t refuse and laughed, "With their auntie and cousin showering them with love, they’re sure to grow up safely."

Granny Zhang thought that her two grandsons still didn’t have nicknames. The formal names were left for their father and mother to choose, but the nicknames could be given by Xuanbao!

Xuanbao is so smart, the nicknames she comes up with are bound to sound nice!

And the names Xuanbao picks certainly carry good fortune with them.

Granny Zhang then said, "Xuanbao, do you want to give your two little cousins some nicknames?"

"Sure!" Ruo Xuan had never named anyone before, but there was a child in the village nicknamed Goudan, because an inexpensive name is supposed to be easier to raise.

Ruo Xuan looked at her older and younger cousin; the older one was a bit fatter than the younger one, but they were both quite ugly, so she said, "How about calling one Big Fatty Pig and the other Little Fatty Pig?"

The Liu sisters: "..."

Zhang Chengye: "..."

Granny Zhang: "..."

Can she take back what she just said?

Madam Liu coaxed, "Would Xuanbao be happy if someone called her Little Fatty Pig?"

Ruo Xuan shook her head, "But they can call me Little Fatty Flower!"

The fatter and larger a flower blooms, the more beautiful it is!

Madam Liu: "..."

Is that child’s head filled with flowers or what?!

"If your little cousins find out when they’re older that their nicknames mean ’fatty pig,’ they might cry."

Ruo Xuan: "Is that bad? Don’t they say ’fatty’ means good fortune? And pigs are easy to raise. Combining ’fatty’ and ’pig,’ it means easy to raise and blessed with good fortune!"

Madam Liu: "..."

It sounds so reasonable, she’s at a loss for words!

Having heard Xuanbao’s reasoning, Granny Zhang thought it sounded quite good, "There’s sense in that, let’s call them Big Fatty Pig and Little Fatty Pig! Xuanbao chose really good names!"

Ruo Xuan nodded, "I think so too."

Zhang Chengye’s mouth twitched, "But pigs are stupid!"

Granny Zhang: "..."

Liu Wenyao then said, "How about we just call them Big Fatty and Little Fatty, then?"

Zhang Chengye hastily added, "That’s good, these two kids are too skinny, maybe if we call them that, they’ll actually get fatter!"

He really didn’t want his children to be called pigs and be laughed at later in life.

Ruo Xuan had no objections, but she still thought the names Big Fatty Pig and Little Fatty Pig were pretty good!

And besides, pigs aren’t stupid, they’re quite smart!

So, when Ruo Xuan returned to the village, she went straight to the manor and told Xuanyuan Que about her two new little cousins.

Then, she talked about the good names she had come up with.

"Divine Lord Xuanyuan, don’t you also think Little Fatty Pig and Big Fatty Pig are good names? They have a nice meaning and sound good! How adorable!"

Xuanyuan Que looked at his book, nodding nonchalantly, "Hmm, good names."

They’re just his cousins’ nicknames, what does it have to do with him? Even if they were called Ugly Ducklings, it wouldn’t matter.

But if he said they weren’t good now, she would natter at him for half a day.

Ruo Xuan laughed, happily swinging her short legs, "Brother Xuanyuan also thinks they’re good, so they must be good. I’ve decided to keep these nicknames for my children in the future."

Xuanyuan Que: "..."
