Chapter 47: Chapter 47: Nicknamed Mengmeng
 

Lin Yi’s father anxiously asked, “How has everyone been doing with thinking up names?”

Han Xuewei’s father said, “We have come up with several names, but we’d like to see the ones you’ve come up with.”

“Then let’s discuss it while we eat.”

Lin Yi’s father didn’t ask Lin Yi for his opinion at all, and Lin Yi even believed that his dad probably had a name ready for the third baby already!

Saying that they are all his own grandchildren, with his father’s personality, it wouldn’t be impossible for him to do such a thing!

Soon everyone sat down at the dining table, and Aunt Wang carefully brought several plates of fruit, taking care to prepare Han Xuewei’s portion.

Lin Yi’s father, brimming with excitement, took the lead and said, “I don’t know what everyone else has been thinking?”

Lin Yi quickly answered, “We have already chosen a name!”

Tuition-Wei’s father also said in a hurry, “I have also chosen a name for the child on my end.”

Lin Yi’s father said, “My wife and I have named our eldest son Lin Zhiyan. How does this name sound?”

After hearing this, everyone began to ponder.

“The reason we chose this name is that we hope that Da Bao will grow up to be erudite and a distinguished scholar. That’s why we specially picked these two characters.” Lin Yi’s mother, true to her profession as a teacher, even chose names with such depth!

After hearing this, Lin Yi quickly raised his hand and said, “This name is indeed good, I am the first to support it! Wife, do you have any suggestions?”

Han Xuewei nodded and said, “This name is indeed good, I have no objections.”

Having the name he chose unanimously approved by the family before Lin Yi’s father had time to rejoice!

“Then let’s go with this name! We have also thought of a nickname for the child, and we’ll just call him Da Bao!”

Of course, the host had no objections.

At this time, Han Xuewei’s mother also said to everyone, “If we’re naming him that, then the second baby should be called Zhiyu, right? It implies a spirited and dignified bearing. How about it?”

“This name is great! It’s a good name! I support it!” Han Xuewei’s father quickly expressed his approval after hearing it!

It must be said that the two names did suit the brothers very well, and everyone showed satisfied smiles.

Lin Yi’s mother asked the young couple, “How about this name? Lin Yi, Vivi, do you have any good suggestions?”

Han Xuewei shook her head and said very sensibly, “This name also sounds good.”

Lin Yi slumped his shoulders a bit and said, “Of course, I have no objections, as long as it’s a name you all chose, I’m definitely reassured!”

In fact, Lin Yi’s father had always been worried about one thing, whether his in-laws would insist on one child taking the Han surname.

After all, they had only one daughter, Han Xuewei, and if the Han family had this wish, he would understand it.

However, to his surprise, the in-laws had never brought this up from the beginning to the end, which showed great magnanimity. This made them think highly of Han Xuewei’s parents.

Seeing that everyone had agreed, Han Xuewei’s mother said with a smile, “Then it’s decided! The little brother’s name will be Lin Zhiyu.”

Clearly, everyone showed their agreement!

At this time, Lin Yi also hurriedly said, “We have come up with a very meaningful name for our daughter, Lin Yishu. What do you think of this name?”

“Lin Yishu? That really is a good name! It not only sounds pleasant but also has a deep meaning! Our little darling will surely grow up to be an elegant and sunny girl!” Lin Yi’s mother exclaimed.

True to a teacher’s knowledge, she understands these characters from the Book of Songs almost like the back of her hand!

After hearing the names, everyone also expressed their approval.

“These names! Not bad at all, I didn’t expect you two to come up with such great names!”

Lin Yi quickly added, “We’ve even thought of a milk name—Mengmeng! Our little Mengmeng is the most adorable and cutest!”

Han Xuewei also covered her mouth and started laughing, “Okay, okay! Everyone knows now, that your daughter is the most adorable, all right?”

Everyone laughed heartily upon hearing this, and the children’s names were thus happily decided.

Tomorrow, Lin Yi could go to the hospital to handle the birth certificate for the babies using these three names and then directly register their residence.

By the next morning, Lin Yi got up early, saved the names in the memo app on his phone, and took all the necessary documentation needed to handle the babies’ paperwork.

Seeing that the babies would be a month old in just a few days and that it would soon be time to take the little ones for their vaccinations. Lin Yi could only imagine what his three little cuties would look like crying then.

When he arrived at the designated department in the hospital, he found the place was just as crowded as the times he’d attended prenatal checkups with his wife.

He had waited in the hallway for nearly half an hour before it was finally his turn.

The nurse glanced over his documents and then looked at him with a very surprised expression.

“So you’re the father of the triplets? The whole hospital is talking about this! You’re very fortunate!” The nurse said with envy.

“Ah? Is that so… haha.” Lin Yi laughed.

“You may not believe this, but your triplets are the first in Xiangcheng in nearly fifty years! It’s really rare! Especially naturally conceived triplets, which are very uncommon!”

“Have you already chosen the names for the babies?” The nurse asked with a smile.

“Yes, I planned to register them today and have all the required documents prepared,” Lin Yi said.

“We’ll have the birth certificates ready shortly. However, since you need three at once, it will take a little more time,” the nurse explained.

Those waiting at the door overheard Lin Yi’s conversation with the nurse and were all amazed!

“Wow, having triplets in one go? How impressive is that?”

“Twins are already rare, but someone actually had triplets! They must be so blessed!”

“Hey buddy, do you have dragon triplets or phoenix triplets?” a curious onlooker asked.

Lin Yi answered with a smile, “Two boys and a girl.”

“So you do have dragon and phoenix twins! You’re very lucky to have both a boy and a girl!” the person exclaimed in surprise!

“I too would love to have dragon and phoenix twins; the joy of having both a son and a daughter must feel great!”

Lin Yi just kept smiling and nodding his head.

“Buddy, taking care of three kids must be tough? It must be hard to manage!”

“And the cost of formula for three babies is no small amount! A can of formula must be finished in one day, right?”

Lin Yi scratched the back of his head and laughed, not knowing how to answer everyone’s numerous questions. He just responded casually to one or two of them.
