Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife Chapter 1509 - 1510: Bustling with Laughter and Joy

In fact, prior to Cheng Su's arrival, Father Qi and the others had already prepared a name idea for the baby. It's common for rural kids to receive simple nicknames, but formal names carry huge weight, particularly for boys. Plenty of families consult fortune tellers and draw on the Five Elements to create the ideal name.

Upon learning her grandson's exact birth time, Mother Qi turned to an expert in the matter. The infant was missing gold in his Five Elements, so adding that element to the name was advised. She then talked it over with Father Qi about incorporating a 'Gold' character.

Father Qi held his grandson in high regard, so absent a settled name, he surely would've conferred with his son on including such a character.

Yet with Cheng Su having already brought up the name, he chose not to mention it and risk dampening the festive air.

Father-in-law and grandfather both present, Qi Taiguo brimmed with happiness. Once home, he aided his mother-in-law in meal prep and savored a bit of wine with gleeful bites.

After eating her portion, Cheng Su drew Qi Taiguo into the bedroom to discuss buying a camera.

"Not sure when we'll head back, so let's spare your mother any worry. A camera lets us snap occasional photos and capture images of Xiao Qi to carry home for her to see." Cheng Su explained.

Qi Taiguo had no intention of refusing.

Restricted from leaving the army base lately, Cheng Su rang up Luh Kai—first sharing the thrill of the birth, then asking him to hold a camera for her uncle's next-day pickup.

Cameras counted as luxuries back then, leaving Luh Kai delighted to comply.

Next morning, Cheng Su handed Qi Jianguo cash to fetch the camera from the city co-op, plus funds for him and Cheng Zhi to snag new outfits.

"You're in university these days. Cheng Zhi may lack such luck, but young fellows ought to dress neat and dapper—go grab some new clothes!" Cheng Su beamed.

Qi Jianguo attempted to turn it down, but Cheng Zhi swiped the money and blurted, "You fool? Why pass up free cash? My cheapskate sister seldom offers clothes money. If you skip it, I won't!" This irked Cheng Su enough to nearly swat him.

Wasn't her fame built on generosity?

Cheng Zhi wagged his tongue, yanked Qi Jianguo out the door, and sent the entire family into laughter.

The duo of youths showed up only by afternoon, hauling bags of goods. Beyond Cheng Su's camera, Luh Kai had included gifts like various tonics including ginseng.

"He claimed it's to celebrate Sister-in-law's new nephew. We refused, but he shoved them at us to bring along." Qi Jianguo noted. University life and time in bustling Guangcheng had polished him, granting savvy in worldly affairs and social graces far beyond his earlier innocence.

Cheng Su valued Luh Kai's openhandedness and received the items, mindful that fatherhood loomed for him soon. She resolved to return the favor with a gift later.

Relationships thrive this way; friends swap gifts back and forth, avoiding any feeling of being used, which sustains deep ties over time.

Camera in hand, the household buzzed with curiosity yet puzzled over its use. Visionary Cheng Su loaded the film and fired off several shots.

Snaps went beyond the baby alone; everyone gathered for held-child group photos, sibling poses, beaming in-law family pictures, infusing the home with vibrant merriment.

Thrills soared even higher when Cheng Yaozu and Ying Xiaoya came calling.
