Chapter 30

Su Li gave it a thought and said, “Let’s learn how to write your names!”

He Dahu said excitedly, “Then I’ll write He Dahu. He Dahu is my name.”

He Erhu said like a recorder, “Then I’ll write He Erhu. He Erhu is my name.”

Su Li’s lips could not help but twitch when she heard these two old-fashioned names. If they went to school in the future, these two names would definitely not do.

He Yufeng was the one who gave the two names Dahu and Erhu. He hadn’t received much education, so he thought that the word “hu” sounded powerful. After all, “hu” was a name for Tiger, the animal who was the king of the forest.

Moreover, the names of the children in the village were more and more old-fashioned. For example, Buttface, Erniu, Tie Dan, and so on!

The elders in the village said that the lousier the name, the easier it was to feed the child!

Su Li said, “Dahu, Erhu can be used as a nickname. You have to get a new name.”

He Erhu hugged Su Li’s arm and said, “Mother will give us a new name.”

Su Li nodded. “Alright, let me think about it.”

The brothers rested their chins on their hands and looked at her expectantly.

Su Li pointed at He Dahu and said, “Your name is He Qingyao.”

She pointed at He Erhu and said, “Your name is He Qingmu.”

The origin of their name was inspired by a Chinese saying.

“He Qingyao.”

“He Qingmu.”

The brothers each read their names.

“Do you like it?” Su Li asked nervously.

To be honest, this was the first time she had given someone a name!

He Qingyao and He Qingmu nodded vigorously. “Yes, we like this name very much.”

He Qingmu rubbed against Su Li’s arm. “Mother, the names you gave us are better than what Father had given us.”

Su Li pursed her lips and smiled. “When your father comes back, I have to tell him that you despise the name he chose.”

“That’s how it is!” He Qingmu muttered softly.

“Come, I’ll teach you to write the surname He first.”

Su Li took the charcoal and started writing on the wooden board.

The brothers looked at it very seriously, afraid that they would miss any of Su Li’s strokes.

Although it was raining heavily outside and it was drizzling in the house, it did not affect the warmth in the house.

Deep in the mountains.

The rain came very suddenly. Even He Yufeng, who often went out, could not tell that there was going to be rain this time. Because of the sudden change, He Yufeng had no choice but to hide in the cave.

He Yufeng was caught off guard and was in a very sorry state. His clothes were already drenched, so he could only find some branches from outside to start the fire.

Although these branches were drenched by the rain, it was simply a piece of cake for He Yufeng, who had been surviving in the wilderness all year round.

He Yufeng built a pyre and lit it with the flint he carried with him.

The firelight shone on his face. At this moment, his expression was cold. He did not have the gentleness he had when facing his children at home.

Because his clothes were still dripping with water, He Yufeng simply took off all his clothes. Without any clothes to cover his muscular figure, he was exposed to the air. His limbs were strong, he had broad shoulders, and his tall chest was as strong as steel pillars.
