On the desk in front of Mr. Zhuang lay three sheets of paper, and Manbao and the other two quietly poked their heads in from the doorway to take a look.
Mr. Zhuang, who had been spacing out, noticed them and said, without even lifting an eyelid, "Come in."
The three hurried inside. Manbao asked with a grin, "Sir, what did you call us for?"
Mr. Zhuang smiled and beckoned to them. "Come closer."
The three of them stepped forward and obediently stood in a row in front of the desk.
After looking them over carefully, Mr. Zhuang smiled and said, "You've all grown up. Erlang will reach adulthood next second month, and Bai Shan in the twelfth month. Originally your courtesy names were to be given after your adulthood ceremonies, but since you're all about to be married, to start families and careers, and you can be said to have already achieved some success, I've decided to give you your courtesy names now."
Their eyes lit up. Manbao asked directly, "Sir, do I get one too?"
