The Kitty Became a Cutie and Was Pampered in the 80s-Chapter 1683: Little Cousin (Part 5)
Jiaojiao was still struggling: "Which Jiaojiao?"
"Just you, Jiaojiao." Shu Lang replied, and as he answered, he glanced at Gu Zichen who was lying over there.
"!!!" Jiaojiao!
If she remembered correctly, this was a little cousin! Not a little cousin sister! Was it really okay to give her little cousin such a name?!
"Jiaojiao doesn’t like it?" Gu Zichen, who was lying over there, asked hesitantly. Having just given birth, she didn’t look as radiant as before; her complexion was pale, and when she frowned, she seemed especially delicate, making people want to tenderly care for her with just that action.
She seemed troubled, paused for a moment, and said: "Is this name not very auspicious? Maybe we should change it." She had chosen this name thinking Jiaojiao wasn’t around, but now that Jiaojiao was alive, it seemed inappropriate upon reflection.
"..." Jiaojiao thought, that wasn’t the point; the point was that having the character Jiaojiao in a boy’s name wasn’t quite right.
She gently reminded: "Does Grandpa like this name too?"
She couldn’t believe that Grandpa Shu, who had been tough all his life, would let his eldest grandson have such a feminine name.
Upon hearing this, Gu Zichen indeed seemed to remember something. Jiaojiao was just about to breathe a sigh of relief, but then Gu Zichen said: "Shu Lang, call Dad, tell him the character Yi is not good, we should change it to another Jiaojiao."
The implication was, Yi could change, but the Jiaojiao character absolutely could not be absent.
"..." Jiaojiao.
Jiaojiao looked towards Shu Lang, who was also looking at her. Jiaojiao couldn’t tell if he was willing or just too angry to speak, so she gently reminded again: "Aunt, little cousin is a boy; won’t having a Jiaojiao in his name be too girlish?"
"How could it be? This Jiaojiao is so nice-sounding. When he grows up, he’ll know he needs to cherish his sister." Gu Zichen said earnestly, and then she looked at Shu Lang, appearing to seek his opinion: "Otherwise, you could ask your uncle, he thinks the same."
"..." Shu Lang.
He smiled, nodded: "Yeah, I agree."
"..." Jiaojiao.
Forgive her for not being blind yet, she could still see what it meant to not speak from the heart.
After seeing little cousin come out of the hospital, Jiaojiao silently shed a tear of sympathy for her little cousin’s future in the car.

The military training lasted twenty days, and as it was nearing the end, the school organized a mountain climbing activity, climbing Yue’er Mountain, the closest one outside Beidu. It’s said that each year’s freshmen had to go through this.
As long as they climbed Yue’er Mountain and had a cookout at the top, that year’s military training would be considered a perfect ending. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺
So the day before the climb, a lot of things needed preparing, and the ingredients needed on the mountain had to be prepared in advance. At this time, each student had to contribute a bit of money, and then a few representatives would go out to buy the supplies.
There were over thirty people in Jiaojiao’s class. Each person contributed two yuan, adding up to over sixty yuan, which could buy quite a lot in this era.
The one assigned to go shopping was Jiang Xun. He assigned several classmates to go out.
During the roll call in class, his gaze swept over Jiaojiao, and Jiaojiao’s heart skipped a beat. It wasn’t that she was afraid of getting work; it’s just that after what happened last time, she really didn’t want to have any further solo interactions with him.
