Chapter 154 No one stipulates that women cannot read
"Of course not. Why would you think that?"
Bai Sui'an turned his head and saw the little girl's awkward look. She looked very lost.
After Bai Sui'an answered, she even felt a little guilty.
"When you called your two sisters... you never called us that, even though we are your children..."
Lin Yashu spoke more and more quietly. She thought she shouldn't be so petty, but she was also afraid that her unreasonable temper would displease her mother.
At that time, Bai Sui'an only saw that the two little girls always behaved in a humble manner, so she took the initiative to think that the name would have a significant impact on the two children.
After all, "Zhao Di" and "Pandi" are not names that can bring blessings to children.
On the contrary, it will bring pressure to children. Once children know that their existence is not expected, they will more or less think that they are inherently inferior to others, and their psychology will become distorted.
Bai Sui'an explained, "It was my fault. I didn't consider your feelings. I'll call you that from now on, okay? Xiaoshu or Yaya?"
The two names made Lin Yashu so anxious that she started dancing with joy.
"This... that, just shout whatever you like! No, no need to ask me!"
The little girl is shy.
Bai Sui'an smiled and said, "How do I know which name you like if I don't ask? I don't want to make you unhappy again."
Lin Yashu buried her head in washing dishes, hesitatingly saying, "I like whatever my mother calls me..."
"Okay, then call them both." Bai Sui'an said in a doting tone.
This made Lin Yashu feel even more guilty. She asked, "Won't Mom think I'm being naughty? I'm not a good child if I get angry with you after you bring someone home."
"It was my fault that I didn't notice your thoughts. How can I blame you?"
Bai Sui'an said, "Aunt Wang had something going on at home, so she wanted to leave the child with us. Mother thought you were all little girls and could play together, so she brought you back. If our Xiao Shu doesn't want to play with them, then don't play. Mother won't force you."
Lin Yashu: "It's okay to play, Mom, I don't hate them..."
She just felt uncomfortable when she saw her mother calling other children like that.
Now that her mother has come to comfort her, she doesn't feel so bad anymore.
"Is it just because mother calls their names too intimately?" Bai Sui'an asked.
"Ah."
"That's because Mom thinks they can cheer up after hearing me yelling at them."
Bai Sui'an said to her slowly,
"The names of these two sisters are Zhaodi and Pandi. Do you know what they mean?"
Lin Yashu shook her head.
"Zhao and Pan both mean to wish for something, and the last character is pronounced the same way as the character for brother, so the combined meaning is to use their names to make a wish for another brother in the family. Isn't that different from your name?"
After all, she had only just started learning to read in the past few days, so Lin Yashu didn't fully understand it. She could only nod, half-comprehendingly, "It seems to be different."
Bai Sui'an taught her slowly, saying: "The name belongs to you. Even if it is given by the elders in the family, the name is the first gift given to you by your family after the child is born. Most of the time it is a blessing for the child.
Using the gift for the child to make a wish for yourself means that the child will be deprived of the first gift in life from the moment he is born."
"It's like when mom goes out and buys a lot of things, and everyone gets a share except yours. Wouldn't you be very unhappy?"
Lin Yashu could understand this feeling. After all, she was just unhappy because her mother didn't call her with reduplication.
"Then I'll call my two sisters like mother. They look miserable, and if I play with them, maybe they'll be happy."
Although the children in the family have different temperaments, they are all good children.
Children are worry-free, so Bai Sui'an doesn't feel tired. Instead, he always wants to be nice to the children.
"Then Mom will play with you guys too."
Today we have to wait for Yinchuan's arrival at home. Bai Sui'an will have more time than before by staying at home, and can spend more time with the children.
After washing the dishes, Bai Sui'an put his arm around Lin Yashu's shoulder and went back.
The little girl suddenly looked up. After thinking for a moment, she began to understand what her mother had said.
She asked, "Then can my brother's and my younger brother's names tell us whether our mother liked us?"
Lin Yashu has never seen her biological mother since she could remember. She has only seen her stepmother Bai Sui'an. When her stepmother treated her badly in the past, she always imagined whether her biological mother would treat her the same way.
Although she is not so obsessed with her biological mother now, she is still curious whether her biological mother is a good mother.
Bai Sui'an answered without hesitation: "Of course I like you. Your names are blessings from your parents. You are all happy children."
Lin Yashu smiled and said, "Then Chang'an is also a happy child."
"Why are you talking about Chang'an?"
"Because both Chang'an and Niang's names contain the character 'An', Dad said Niang's name means peace every year, and Chang'an means always safe. Niang gave it this name as a blessing, right? Niang is so kind!"
The child loved to think too much. After hearing what Bai Sui'an said, she began to wonder what her name would be if Bai Sui'an was her biological mother.
Fortunately, Bai Sui'an had named Chang'an before. No matter what Lin Yashu thought, if she was really Bai Sui'an's biological daughter, the name would not be bad either.
"How can you praise someone by their name?" Bai Sui'an couldn't hide the smile on his face.
In fact, she chose her own name. In the past, others called her by her number, but since everyone else had a name, she chose a name for herself. Later, when she met Chang An, the man and the dog became very close. Bai Sui'an treated the dog as his own family member and gave it a name similar to his own.
I didn't expect that my daughter would praise me as a good person because of my name.
Bai Sui'an was very happy.
In the morning, it was Lin Rongle's time to study alone. Before, when Lin Yashu was alone, he would give her some guidance. Now there were two more girls at home, and for fear of delaying Lin Rongle, Bai Sui'an took two pieces of paper he had used for calligraphy practice, and took the three girls to another room, where she taught them personally.
Bai Sui'an also took a pen and wrote the names of the two little girls in the empty space.
Generally, when learning to read, people start with their own name, so Bai Sui'an started from this aspect.
Li Zhaodi and her sister were a little surprised that Bai Sui'an could read.
"Isn't it said that girls can't go to school? Has Aunt Sui'an ever been to school before?" Li Zhaodi asked.
"No one says women can't read, right?" Bai Sui'an said with a smile.
"Not all shopkeepers outside are men. There is no threshold to learning anything. As long as you want to learn, there will always be a way. As long as you learn, you can also use what you learn to support yourself."
