Chapter 1023: Name Change
Editor: Henyee Translations
The two of them stopped when they saw Gu Yundong enter.
“Miss, why are you here?”
Gu Yundong was about to speak when she saw Ah Gou and Ah Shu walk out of the backyard. Ah Mao was not around and was at the Million Gold Pavilion with Shao Qingyuan.
Doctor Xiong wasn’t around either. A medical fanatic like him was naturally the most passionate about learning cowpox vaccination. Therefore, at this moment, he was among the hundreds of doctors who were vaccinating people.
However, when he was not around, the business of the pharmacy was exceptionally good.
It was probably because the vaccination was about to take place in the entire city. There were still some people who were not at ease and secretly came to the medicine shop to buy medicine. If the vaccination failed, at least there would be a way out, right?
Therefore, when Doctor Xiong was not around, Ah Gou and Ah Shu came to help.
“Miss, are you looking for us? Why don’t you go to the backyard and rest first?”
“No, thank you.” Gu Yundong shook her head. “I’m just looking for Ah…” She stopped mid-sentence.
She recalled how Xiao Yuan’s father had addressed the guy. Doctor Pig?
She suddenly couldn’t call Ah Zhu’s name. She paused and could only point at him, who was coming down the wooden ladder after closing the medicine cabinet. She said, “Come down first. I have something to ask you.”
Ah Zhu was confused and hurriedly walked over. “What’s the matter?”
Gu Yundong glanced at Ah Gou and Ah Shu again and asked with a frown, “What were your original names?”
The three of them looked at each other. “Miss, why are you suddenly asking this?”
“I’m just thinking that you’re not young anymore. In two to three years, you’ll have to get married. In the future, when you walk around outside, you can’t let people continue to call you Ah Zhu, Ah Gou, Ah Shu, and Ah Mao. People will think that they’ve entered the zoo. Why don’t you change to your previous names?”
The three of them were stunned and paused, but they fell silent.
Gu Yundong was a little surprised. “Of course, it’s okay if you don’t want to change. I’m just making a suggestion.”
“No, Miss, it’s not that we don’t want to change. It’s just that…” Ah Zhu hesitated for a moment before denying softly.
Jiang Bao listened from the side and immediately said, “I think it’s good to change your names. Two days ago, there were customers who came in to buy medicine. They directly called Ah Zhu Mr. Pig.”
Gu Yundong was speechless. It turned out that Xiao Yuan’s father was not the only one who called him Doctor Pig.
Ah Zhu glared at Jiang Bao, who raised his eyebrows smugly.
After a long time, Ah Shu, who was the oldest among the three, said, “Miss, we actually want to change our names, but we don’t want to change back to our previous names. If possible, can you tell the boss to let us… have the surname Shao?”
“Why?” Gu Yundong was surprised.
Ah Shu smiled bitterly and said, “We’re all orphans without parents. When the four of us lived together, we agreed to be brothers and relatives. That’s why we randomly named Ah Mao, Ah Shu, Ah Zhu, and Ah Gou. We felt that this was… more intimate, as if we were a family. If we switch to our original names with different surnames, we would feel that we have become orphans again.”
Gu Yundong was shocked. She did not expect them to think that way.
She immediately regretted her suggestion.
Although names didn’t mean anything, the meaning was completely different for Ah Zhu and the others.
Jiang Bao also stopped pounding the medicine. His expression became more serious and he did not speak anymore.
Gu Yundong opened her mouth and was about to say that it was fine when she heard Ah Gou speak in embarrassment.
What do you think?
