After careful selection by Xuan Niang, Yun Niang and others, six girls were finally selected. Ye Zhenzhen inspected them secretly and expressed her satisfaction and affirmation of their choices.
They really have a good eye for picking people.
After the new people joined, Yongshan Hall became more and more vibrant and energetic. Ye Zhenzhen inspected it personally and felt more at ease.
After arranging various matters in the capital, Cui Weizhen took his family back to Jingning.
This separation will last for many years. If nothing unexpected happens, their family will not be able to return to their hometown to worship their ancestors in these years, so they came back to Jingning to visit their graves and worship their ancestors before leaving.
Another purpose is to give the little cotton-padded jacket a family tree.
The little cotton-padded jacket is only three months old now, not even a hundred days old. According to Aunt Cui's superstitious idea, she doesn't need to name her in the family tree for the time being. When she turns one year old in the future, she can name her and then send a letter back to Uncle Six to add it to the family tree.
But Cui Weizhen was full of rituals and insisted on writing his daughter's name in the family tree himself, so he did so, and the little cotton-padded jacket had a name written in the family tree: Cui's daughter Xinning.
"It's sweet when you have peppers, and it's peaceful when you have peppers."
This is the name that Cui Weizhen and Ye Zhenzhen finally chose in "Song of Zhou" after searching through ancient books. It is taken from the meaning of peace and longevity. They hope that the little cotton-padded jacket will be safe, happy, live long and blessed in the future. This is the most important thing that parents want for their daughter.
Earnest expectations.
Aunt Cui is also a person who has read poetry and books, so she naturally understands the meaning behind the name. Although she still disagrees with the premature naming, she has no choice but to accept the arrangement.
As for Ye Zhenzhen... she's just a little bit superstitious, and doesn't have much objection to naming in advance.
Returning to one's hometown to worship ancestors was another social event, but they were all members of one's own family. Although Ye Zhenzhen was not senior, she had a high status. Her status as a clan wife made her feel like a fish in water, so she did not have to struggle to accept anything.
Of course, taking advantage of the opportunity in Jingning, Ye Zhenzhen took the opportunity to inspect the branch of Yongshan Hall in Jingning. Although the scale was not as good as the headquarters in Beijing, the scale and system were not bad at all. The preparations in the past few months were very impressive and widely spread.
The good reviews show that they put their heart and soul into it.
Needless to say, there is no need to mention Chu Ningyan, the main cadre, and there is no need to say much about close friends. Ye Zhenzhen emphatically praised the two young girls Cui Qinglan and Li Yuanhui.
Cui Qinglan is a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers and perseveres with tenacity. Although he occasionally makes some small mistakes due to lack of experience or ignorance of pain during the preparatory work, this is normal. This child is good at thinking and knows how to summarize.
He soon grew into Chu Ningyan's right-hand man.
Needless to say, Li Yuanhui was a capable person in the main church in Beijing. She took the initiative to come to Jingning in order to prepare for the establishment of a branch church. She played an indispensable role in the successful preparations for the construction of the branch church in Jingning.
Li Yuanhui was as calm and reserved as ever, but after this experience, she became more steady and calm. Ye Zhenzhen patted her shoulder with great relief: "Huiniang, you really did not disappoint me. I represent Yongshan Hall."
Thank you."
"No, madam, this is what I should do." Li Yuanhui waved her hand nervously and shyly: "Besides, because of this opportunity, I have learned a lot, and I should be the one thanking madam."
Ye Zhenzhen is very happy. This is the meaning of her hosting Yongshan Hall. It is not only to help the old, weak, women and children, the elderly and poor, but also to give many women who are trapped in the back house a chance to come out and shine.
Although there are still many limitations at present, she firmly believes that this career has a bright future.
Looking at Cui Qinglan again, I don't know when her eyes turned red.
Ye Zhenzhen didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and was a little confused: "Sister Twelve, why are you crying? Isn't it your turn yet? You can't cry just because Sister-in-law Ninth doesn't praise you, right?"
"What's wrong! Sister-in-law Jiu framed someone."
Cui Qinglan sniffed and said with red eyes, "I just can't bear to leave you."
Ye Zhenzhen couldn't bear it and patted her hand: "It's okay. You can just come to Mingzhou more in the future. It's not too far away. It's just that Sister-in-law Jiu can't attend your wedding next year."
Cui Qinglan didn't want to make Sister-in-law Jiu sad. Just now, her eyes turned red because she was touched by the scene. She forced herself to be sour and smiled: "Sister-in-law Jiu can't come, but I can't add more makeup."
"Oh, you girl, you are not shy at all. How can anyone openly ask for makeup? In the future, it will be amazing."
Only now did Chu Ningyan start to joke, but Cui Qinglan was no longer like Wu Xia Amon, so she responded very calmly: "I learned this from you."
Li Yuanhui covered her lips with a handkerchief and secretly laughed.
Ye Zhenzhen also shook her head helplessly and gave Chu Ningyan a fake look: "You should be more alert and don't lead my well-behaved sister astray."
Chu Ningyan snorted, her eyes clearly filled with doubts, but it was almost obvious that she was not a good person.
Farewell is imminent, and even the exchanges between friends seem extremely precious.
Xin Ning was crying in the mansion, but Ye Zhen Zhen couldn't stay in the branch hall for long, so she went back after the inspection. Chu Ningyan also went back with her, because her son and daughter were playing with Cui Zhiduan.
Zhou Qiqi, Zhou Jinhui and Cui Zhiduan are of the same age. The children have a very close relationship with each other because of the good relationship between their mothers. Although they don't get along with each other for a long time, Cui Zhiduan has the consciousness of a big brother and treats his younger siblings
They take good care of us.
Chu Ningyan saw her daughter's face flushed while playing with Cui Zhiduan, and a certain thought deep in her heart resurfaced: "Zhenniang, I think..."
"No, I don't want to."
Ye Zhenzhen, a friend of many years, could tell what she was thinking at a glance. Humph, her eyes lit up every time she saw her son. Do you still think she didn't know what was going on?
"I told you before that we might have a baby kiss."
well.
Chu Ningyan let out a long sigh and said with a hint of melancholy: "Forget it, wait until Qiqi grows up and fight for it on your own. However, you have to keep an eye on me and don't let others pick it off in advance.
Got the fruit.”
Ye Zhenzhen's lips twitched: "My son is only six years old."
"Six years old is not too young. In more than ten years, we will have to say goodbye."
Ye Zhenzhen was speechless and rolled her eyes. Chu Ningyan succeeded in her prank and laughed proudly.
Cui Weizhen and his party only stayed in Jingning for four days. They finished handling the matters in Jingning and soon set off back to Beijing. Uncle Liu's family, Zhou Xunting and Chu Ningyan saw each other off all the way, because they knew that this time they were leaving.
Really separated.
They stayed in Jingning, and when Cui Weizhen's family left Beijing, they could not go to see them off in person.
The misty spring rain adds to the sorrow of separation. Thousands of words can only be combined into one sentence of cherishment.
