Qingmu smiled. "I've come around. Let's call him Hulu. It would be even better if he turns out to be wise but appears foolish."
After hearing about this, Zheng Changhe also said, "Since my grandson insists on being a gourd, then Hulu it is. Hulu is a great name! Gourds are much bigger than soybeans and chestnuts, and you can even use them as water ladles. No one can ever force one underwater. In the future, our eldest grandson will surely be more unsinkable than that Liu Sanshun boy."
His explanation sent Juhua and the others into another long fit of laughter.
Surprisingly, when Liu Fugui and his wife came to see their daughter and grandson, they were delighted to hear the nickname. He laughed heartily and said, "What's so great about people who chatter on all day? As the old saying goes, 'Empty vessels make the most sound.' A quiet boy like my grandson, just like his father, has... has..." He couldn't think of the right word and just chuckled foolishly.
