Cheng Tianyuan's eyes flashed slightly, and his speech was in a while.

"...No, didn't you say it earlier? An old relative from my hometown passed away. My mother was overly sad...it was probably caused by sadness."

Xue Ling glanced at him and whispered: "Who is with us? Do you think you can hide it from me? In the evening, you are absent-minded and speak incoherently. At that time, I knew you were lying to me. Let's sleep together for decades, not a day or two."

Husband and wife have been in the same heart and virtue, and their relationship has been harmonious for decades, not overnight.

Some things and some words can help you understand magical powers without saying too much.

Cheng Tianyuan smiled bitterly: "It seems that I can't hide it from you."

Xue Ling patted his chest and asked, "What's going on? I want you to tell me everything."

Cheng Tianyuan sighed helplessly and explained softly: "Mom...I think the two young people can find one of them. She is worried that if Xue Yang has the surname "Xue" in the future, the descendants of the Cheng family may not have a chance."

"Oh." Xue Ling had already heard the conversation between the mother and son clearly on the way here, and there was no idea that he had concealed part of it.

Cheng Tianyuan shook his head: "Don't pay attention to her. She is old and her thoughts are unavoidable and outdated. Since she had already agreed, she had made up her mind and could not change her orders every day."

"I didn't make up at the beginning." Xue Ling said the truth: "At that time, only said that Xue Yang took my surname. Later, when he was pregnant with twins, the third brother took your surname, and the fourth brother took my surname again."

Cheng Tianyuan said "Oh!" and said, "Xue Yang's surname is already 'Xue', so his descendants naturally follow him 'Xue'. What's the matter with a surname 'Cheng'? The child's father's surname is 'Xue', and the mother's surname is 'Wang', so how did Cheng come from? Don't let the younger generation have some unnecessary burdens. The surname is just a prefix, and there is no need to involve too much."

"Since my mother likes it, then choose the surname Cheng." Xue Ling said in a gentle voice: "She is so old and has something to be uneasy and can't think about it. Let's accommodate her. The old man is in his 90s, how many days can we have to accommodate her, right?"

Cheng Tianyuan was slightly stunned and shook his head: "No need. If the little babies are our children, we still have the right to choose and make decisions. But they are the children of Xue Yang and Xiaoxiao, and the right to decide lies with them. Without their consent, we can make decisions randomly."

Xue Ling whispered: "National laws and regulations do not stipulate that citizens can only take their parents' surnames, and can also choose other relatives' surnames to follow. If they are ethnic minorities, they must respect their naming habits and customs and arrange their own arrangements. After we agree, we will ask Xue Yang and Xiaoxiao's opinions."

"I don't agree." Cheng Tianyuan frowned and said, "We have always given the children enough freedom. If we both decide, Xue Yang and Xiaoxiao are both filial people, they will naturally listen to us. If they are unwilling to do so, wouldn't that make things difficult for them? Our family has no descendants' surnames' Cheng! The eldest and the third brother will get married in the future and will have offspring. In the future, a large number of grandchildren follow me's surname', so there is no need to worry."

Xue Ling couldn't help but remind: "We are all filial people. If your mother thinks so, can we not listen to her?"

"That's different." Cheng Tianyuan lowered his voice: "My mother said this, and I don't know what my father-in-law and mother-in-law thinks. My father promised that his two children's surname was Xue, and he agreed. My mother is more traditional and has low ideological awareness. She always remembers some feudal ideas of the older generation. You can't spoil her everything, and you will spoil her."

"Aren't I afraid you will make things difficult?" Xue Ling smiled bitterly: "She is angry, you feel the most uncomfortable when you are stuck in the middle. In my opinion, what can be more important than spending our later years well? No? Mom is old and can't stand it. If you can accommodate her, please accommodate her."

"I don't agree." Cheng Tianyuan said: "If half of the children in each family have their surnames "Cheng" and the other half are "Xue", then will it be a mess sooner or later? What if any child has only one or three, then will it be uneven? Will her be in trouble again? I can still make a decision for my children? I can't make decisions for my grandchildren. I can't make decisions one by one. You can be reasonable and considerate with her, but what about the others? The daughter-in-law came to our family halfway and was not as good as the children of our family. We should respect the opinions of our daughter-in-law. Now Xinzhi and Xiaoxin are also engaged. Could it be that they can make such a request for them? Xinzhi's father and relatives are gone, so he inherits a surname. Do you have the nerve to mention to him that the children in the future are surnamed Cheng or Xue?"

"You said this and woke me up." Xue Ling sighed softly: "I didn't think deeply about it earlier, just felt that there was no need to get angry at the old man for a trivial matter."

Cheng Tianyuan patted her arm lightly and said warmly: "I know you are for me too. But you really can't agree to this matter easily, otherwise it will be difficult for the children to do it in the future. The second child is asked, what about the eldest and the third child? The fourth child? She is even more different from several brothers. She is a married daughter. There are several older brothers in her family. How can she ask her children to follow her parents' surname? Isn't this accusation that makes Xinzhi and Xiaoxin embarrassed? Why bother? It makes the younger generation feel uncomfortable."

"It's true." Xue Ling smiled bitterly: "If it were our children, we could make the decision. But the grandchildren... it's really hard to speak."

Cheng Tianyuan lowered his voice: "If we go and speak now, Xue Yang and Xiaoxiao would probably agree. After all, they are good children who are filial to elders. But in the future they still have children, and the eldest and the third brother will also have children. How should we distribute them at that time? One surname is 'Cheng' and the other surname is 'Xue'? What if the number is odd, which one is more? If we do this, can the daughter-in-law agree? The son-in-law also agree? If the daughter-in-law also asks half of her surname to take her, wouldn't that be even more chaotic?"

"I was too greedy at the beginning." Xue Ling sighed: "If only one of them had my surname, today's mother wouldn't have cared too much about her great-grandson and great-granddaughter's surname was 'Xue'."

Cheng Tianyuan shook his head: "It's not like that, it's because my mother is too greedy."

"This matter is not good and too arbitrary." Xue Ling whispered: "When my mother wakes up, she has to analyze it carefully with her. She is not an unreasonable person, but she has to move her to understand her with emotion."

"Take it slow." Cheng Tianyuan said: "You have to let Xue Yang and the others tell the old man himself. The children belong to them, so we can't make decisions at will. If they refuse, what else can mom and her say? Of course there is nothing to say."

"Okay." Xue Ling nodded: "It might be better this way. If we spoke, the old man might be even more angry."
