Taking care of a baby is more exhausting than working overtime for three days!
The daughter is already very well-behaved. If she weren’t, wouldn’t it be even more exhausting?
I’m starting to understand how hard it is for women!
"She’s only a month old, how can you take her to the garden?" Tian Xingyun said discontentedly.
"She’s already a month old, I asked Grandma before bringing her out." Huo Shaohua replied. Would he dare to bring her out without Grandma’s permission?
If she wasn’t angry, then Grandma must have already reprimanded him!
Tianxin is now the Huo Family’s treasured darling, the center of attention!
He is no longer the focus of the Huo Family, replaced by his daughter.
"Actually, there’s no need to invite too many people for the full moon banquet. Just having a family meal together would be fine." Tian Xingyun said while soothing Tianxin, not wanting too many people to know that Tianxin is Huo Shaohua’s daughter.
Hosting a grand full moon banquet and inviting many people is obviously announcing that Huo Shaohua has a daughter.
Although publicly acknowledging his daughter is nice, there are downsides too.
Getting divorced right after the full moon banquet would be bad for Tianxin and the Huo Family.
She can’t imagine what people might say about the Huo Family and Tianxin.
She doesn’t want her daughter to be constantly talked about, unable to grow up peacefully.
"Not too many people were invited, just the Huo Clan for a meal, letting them know Tianxin is my daughter so they don’t feel disrespected," Huo Shaohua explained. For this full moon banquet, only members of the Huo Clan were invited, no outsiders.
Considering Song Yi’s feelings, he did not publicly acknowledge having a daughter.
However, he didn’t want to wrong his daughter either, so he initially let his own family know.
"Okay," Tian Xingyun replied, thinking that his approach was quite good.
Tianxin is the first child of the Huo Family, so naturally, the Huo Clan should all know.
"After a while, take Tianxin upstairs to sleep; we’re going to the ancestral hall."
"To add Tianxin’s name to the family genealogy, it’s been delayed for a long time."
"Have you already chosen a name?" Tian Xingyun looked at him surprised. Her daughter’s name for the family genealogy surely wouldn’t be Tianxin, the nickname.
When did he choose the name? She had no idea!
"It’s chosen." Huo Shaohua smiled contentedly as he glanced at his daughter.
Choosing his daughter’s name had cost him a lot of brainpower!
In the end, he chose a particularly simple name!
"What’s the name?" Tian Xingyun asked expectantly, sure the name he chose would be beautiful.
"You’ll know soon enough!"
After soothing Tianxin to sleep, Huo Shaohua and Tian Xingyun followed Grandma to the ancestral hall.
Second Master Huo was already waiting in the ancestral hall; now as the patriarch of the Huo Family, such an important task as adding a name to the family genealogy must be handled by him personally.
Following the Huo Family traditions, Grandma and Second Master Huo led Huo Shaohua and Tian Xingyun in making offerings to the ancestors.
Grandma and Second Master Huo were in front, while the two of them knelt behind.
"To our ancestors, Tian Wenyan, the wife of the ninth-generation eldest son of the Huo Family, together with her grandson Huo Shaohua and his wife Tian Xingyun, respectfully pay homage to you!" Grandma sincerely bowed and paid respects to the ancestors.
Huo Shaohua and Tian Xingyun followed Grandma’s actions, both very solemn.
"Huo Ziqing, the third-generation patriarch of the Huo Clan, respectfully pays homage to the ancestors." Second Master Huo, seated in a wheelchair, sincerely performed the rites for the ancestors.
"Huo Shaohua, the eleventh-generation successor of the Huo Family, together with his wife Tian Xingyun, respectfully pay homage to the ancestors!" Huo Shaohua recited, earnestly bowing before the Huo Clan ancestors along with Tian Xingyun.
This moment was solemn, having been anticipated for a long time.
Only, the person beside him was not Song Yi. He had once imagined bringing Song Yi to pay respects to the Huo Clan ancestors someday.
Now he was paying respects with his wife, only the wife was not Song Yi.
