Qi Qingyao scooped them each another bowl of soup, this time even giving them some chicken meat.

She sat at the short table, drinking the soup with her three children. She had only put a bit of salt into the soup, so it retained an authentic taste! Drinking it in the cold of winter made their entire bodies warm up at once.

"Don't just drink the soup, eat some of the meat too. You're already three, which means you should have stopped drinking milk ages ago. Look at you, you're the size of other two-year-olds. You're obviously small because of your constant malnutrition. From now on, I'm gonna give you all the nutrition you missed out on."

The silly children had just drunk two consecutive bowls of chicken soup. When they heard their mother's proclamation, the pain they had suffered at the hands of their grandparents, uncle, and aunt-in-law over the past two years boiled over all at once. The tears flowed as though a dam had been broken.

"Soooob!"

The three children wailed in happiness.

Qi Qingyao asked, "Why are you crying?"

Erniu jumped into her arms, hugged her, and showered her with kisses.

"It just feels too good to have a mother who spoils us."

Dabao and Xiaobao ran over for a hug too.

"Hahaha, silly children." Qi Qingyao held all three of them in her arms.

After she transmigrated here, she had thought that she was rather unfortunate to be saddled with three children from the start. In that moment, however, Qi Qingyao wondered if perhaps these three were a gift from the heavens…

The three children actually ate both chickens in one meal. It was only after they were all full and satiated that Qi Qingyao realized the enormity of their appetites!

Looked like she had to figure out how to earn more money from now on. Otherwise, it was a matter of time before the four of them starved to death!

After Qi Qingyao cleared the cutlery, she went to the bed-stove's hearth again and added more firewood. She had to run about a bit more before she finally had time to sit on the warm bed and rest for a while with the three children.

Qi Qingyao suddenly remembered something.

"We can't keep calling you Dabao, Erniu, and Xiaobao. Those are nicknames. Don't you have real names?"

She could not find anything about their real names in the host's memories.

The three children lowered their eyes without a word. "..."

Qi Qingyao blinked and said softly, "So you really don't?"

Dabao and Xiaobao were boys, so they would not say it even if they were hurt. Erniu was a girl, so she thought it over and then said in a clingy voice, her mouth trembling as she sniffled,

"Grandfather and Uncle and the others said that we're b*stards without a father, so we don't need names."

Qi Qingyao said, "Alright, then I'll give you names."

"Yayy!" The children's eyes twinkled with excitement.

Qi Qingyao mused for a while and then said, "Dabao, you're Qi Sixuan. Erniu, you're Qi Yuanxi. And Xiaobao is Qi Jingyi. How's that?"

Dabao's eyes were wide and moist. After a long time, he finally came back to his senses and stammered, "I-I-I'm Qi Sixuan. I have a name now."

"Big Brother, my name is Yunxi!~" Erniu blinked her large innocent eyes.

"I-I'm Jingyi, Jingyi~~~ Mommy, how do you write those words?" Xiaobao was very curious.

Qi Qingyao got off the bed and picked up a branch, writing the words on the ground next to the bed.

"Here, let me teach you to recognize your names!"

The triplets were especially serious as they watched Qi Qingyao write.

It was as though they did not want to miss a single stroke.

Once they were done watching, they continued to mimic drawing the strokes of their names on their blanket.

They were only three, but they were already so serious about learning.

Qi Qingyao looked at their diligent behavior and said with satisfaction,

"Remember, you're children with names now! If anyone asks, tell them your names with pride!"

The triplets were over the moon. As they continued to practice the words, they told themselves, We're children with names now!

We're not b*stards any more!

We have both a first and last name!
