Chapter 673 I want a child

That night, several people living on the second floor crowded into a room and slept on the same bed.

This is understandable - save electricity.

When sleeping in a room, you only need to turn on one air conditioner, which can save a lot of electricity.

After all, the current power supply in rural areas is quite insufficient.

They got together to upgrade in the evening, but they didn't play for long and went to bed at eleven o'clock.

When I woke up the next day, it was already the twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month.

It didn't continue to snow at night. The snow outside melted a lot yesterday and is no longer so thick.

However, when I got up in the morning, the temperature was still relatively low, and the place where the water was shaken was covered with ice. Only by pouring hot water in could the water in the well be shaken up.

The water in the well shook up, steaming, much warmer than the water in the water tank.

There is no running water in the village yet.

In Yan Xin’s memory, it would have to wait until the fall of 2014 before tap water was installed.

There are still more than three years to go.

This thing is a big project, and it cannot be completed by Yan Xin alone.

Now we can only drink water from wells.

This morning, after eating, a few young people went for a walk by the river to see what the river looked like after snow.

At around ten o'clock in the morning, the clouds in the sky became thinner and thinner, and the sun also peeked out.

Ellie felt a little regretful: "It seems the snow won't last long."

"It would be great if it snows in our place," Feng Xi said to her with a smile, "If you like to see snow, when it snows in Beijing next winter, I will call you over and let you see what the Forbidden City looks like in the snow. What does it look like? If you think it’s not enough, let’s go to the Northeast to watch the snow.”

Bai Xiaoling said: "You can also go to the island country to see the snow. It feels pretty good to soak in the hot springs and watch the snow on Mount Fuji."

"I don't know if I have time." Ellie said a little depressed.

She is now the deputy general manager of Fengxiang Real Estate Company, and is also responsible for the company's development in the Yangtze River Delta region. She has many things to deal with.

Even if the team is developed in the future and there is a mature mechanism, she will not have to handle everything, but it is still a bit unrealistic to set aside a large period of time to travel.

"There is no time next year, but there will be time the year after that," Feng Xi said. "Work hard when you need to work hard, and you need to rest when you need to rest. We engage in career to make life happier, not to make ourselves better." More tired."

Yan Xin also said: "That's what it means, you still have to enjoy it when you should enjoy it."

"Let's talk about it in two years," Ai Lili said with a smile. "Like Shishi, I am still in the period where we should work hard."

Xiao Shiyu also smiled, feeling a little helpless.

The world has a lot of fun, but now is not the time to enjoy those fun.

In order to live with more dignity in the future, we need to work hard now, and redouble our efforts.

That afternoon, the sun was shining brightly.

The snow on the roof was melting quickly, dripping like rain.

They didn't go anywhere in the afternoon, so they moved a few chairs to bask in the sun at the door of the house.

For Ai Lili and Xiao Shiyu, this is a rare leisure time.

They didn't talk about work, they just ate melon seeds and talked about some interesting past events.

On this day, Feng Chen was still presiding over the branch's annual meeting in Shanghai.

After the annual meeting, everyone can go back to their hometowns, and then go to work until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

Feng Chen bought a plane at around two o'clock in the morning. After the annual meeting, he took his wife and children to the airport and boarded the plane to Star City.

After arriving in Star City, we had to take the train back to the city.

The city's train stations are still not very safe places, especially during the Chinese New Year, when bandits and pickpockets are rampant.

Considering the inconvenience of dragging his family with him, Yan Xin had to drive to the city to pick them up that day.

Yan Xin was a little dissatisfied with his father-in-law and mother-in-law, but he still had a good impression of his uncle, and of course he didn't want their journey home to become so difficult.

So on the twenty-ninth day of the twelfth lunar month, I got up early in the morning, had breakfast, and drove to the city to pick up my uncle and his family.

Following him were Feng Xi and Xiao Shiyu.

Feng Xi followed to pick up her brother and his family.

Xiao Shiyu did not go to pick them up, but took their ride home - she was already twenty-nine, and she also needed to go home to celebrate the New Year.

Before the car reached the county seat, Feng Xi received a call from Feng Chen. The train they were on had arrived at the station and they would get off soon.

Feng Xi said with a smile: "We are already on the road. Let's find a restaurant to have a good breakfast first. By the time you finish eating, we should be there soon."

After Feng Chen took his wife and children out of the train station, he found a rice noodle shop nearby and made a bowl of beef noodles there.

I knew it would take some time for my sister and brother-in-law to arrive, so I ate slowly.

Ten minutes after eating, they received a call from Feng Xi. They had already entered the city and asked them to wait at the train station where they took a taxi.

Not long after they passed by, Yan Xin drove over in a commercial vehicle from the sauerkraut processing factory.

Feng Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He didn't know when he was going home this time. The couple had a child, and one of them was pulling a large suitcase.

After the annual meeting last night, we set off, took a plane, took a train, and went back and forth. It has been going on until now.

That is to say, I squinted for more than an hour when I was on a plane, and I couldn't sleep even if I wanted to sleep at other times.

Both of them now have dark circles under their eyes, showing signs of fatigue.

After putting the luggage in the trunk, Feng Chen got into the car first, fastened his seat belt, leaned back, closed his eyes and started to rest.

Ruan Mengyao held her child in her arms and was about to get in the car. Feng Xi stretched out her hand and said to her with a smile:
"Sister-in-law, you are so tired. Please have a good rest now. Let me hold the child."

Ruan Mengyao hesitated for a moment, her body was indeed too tired, and there was no need to be brave, so he handed the child to her and taught her how to hold the child better before getting in the car.

The child was in Feng Xi's arms and made a fuss for a few minutes before calming down.

Feng Xi held the child very gently, coaxing him in a low voice and patting him gently.

After a while, the child fell asleep in her arms.

Yan Xin drove the car and saw Feng Xi coaxing her child out of the corner of his eye, thinking to himself: "She should be a good mother."

Suddenly I felt a little sad.

In their previous life, they had been married for several years, but had no children.

It’s not that they are incapable of reproduction, but they are incapable of nurturing.

That was a shame for him.

For Feng Xi, isn't it a pity?
I don’t know what kind of state Feng Xi was in that time and space after he left.

Have you found a partner again, have a new home, and have your own children?

Thinking about it makes me feel a little sad. The car quickly drove out of the city and crossed the bridge.

Seeing Feng Xi holding the child and humming children's songs in a low voice, Yan Xin smiled and said:

"It seems like you really like children."

Feng Xi glanced at him: "Of course, this is my brother's son, of course I like him."

"Then do you want to have a child of your own?" Yan Xin asked.

Feng Xi smiled and said, "What, you want a child?"

Yan Xin said: "That's true."

In fact, he himself was not too eager to have children because he already had a son and a daughter - with Shu Yi and Gu Ru.

But he saw that Feng Xi liked children so much, and felt that if they had a child, she would be very happy.

Feng Xi looked at him again and smiled:

"That's okay. I'm going to graduate in a few months anyway, so I can have children."

Even if she is pregnant now, it will not prevent her from continuing to study.

Graduation thesis may be a difficult task for other students, but for her, a billionaire, it is no problem at all.

You can do it simply by throwing money at it.

"It won't delay your career, right?" Yan Xin asked.

"No," Feng Xi said, "This company has been established for several years. If I can't run it if I get pregnant, it would be a failure. Besides, when I am inconvenient, the company will still have you and Xiaoling." ? Just help me and take a look, there won’t be any big problem.”

"Then we need a child." Yan Xin said.

"Well, you can prepare now." Feng Xi said.

After a while, she asked Yan Xin again:

"Do you think it's better to have a son or a daughter for the first time?"

"That doesn't matter," Yan Xin said seriously, "Both men and women are the same. We don't favor boys over girls."

Then he was stunned for a moment: "First child? Do you mean how many more babies are there?"

Feng Xi nodded: "Yes, how can one be enough? We must have both children."

"I remember you said that you can only have one child at most." Yan Xin said with a smile.

When Ruan Mengyao was about to give birth to a child, Feng Xi did have such thoughts. She felt that being a pregnant woman was too hard, and she could only give birth to one so that the Yan family could have children.

"Now I have changed my mind," Feng Xi said. "I think having one child is not enough. The child would be too lonely. It's not like our family can't afford it, so let's have two more."

Ruan Mengyao sat in the back row and slept with her eyes closed, but did not fall asleep. Listening to them talking about their children's problems, she couldn't help but interject:

"It would be good to have more children, but we are not allowed to have more children now. Otherwise, I would like to give your brother two more children."

It's not that strict here. You can still have another child after giving birth to a daughter, but it just takes a few years.

If the first-born child is a son, there can be no more children.

Unless you are willing to pay social support fees.

Social support payments do not have a fixed number, but are linked to one's financial situation.

The more money you make, the more social support you pay.

As for the third child, that is even more outrageous.

Ruan Mengyao doesn't know exactly what it looks like.

Both of them are honest people and don't want to go against the policy, so they have no idea of ​​having another child at the moment.

Anyway, I already have a son, and my parents have an explanation, so they are not so anxious.

Feng Xi said: "We are not allowed to have more children now. Maybe it will be possible in a few years. If that doesn't work, we can go abroad and give birth and come back. As long as we are willing to spend money, there are still ways."

Ruan Mengyao opened her eyes wide, and she didn't expect that Feng Xi still had such an idea-she would rather go abroad in order to have a child.

Yan Xin felt a little frightened, thinking of the daughter he had with Gu Ru abroad.

I thought to myself: "Does she know about this? Is she trying to hit me by saying this?"

This is what it means to be a thief with a guilty conscience.

Feng Xi asked Yan Xin: "How many children do you think we should have?"

Yan Xin said: "Three at most. I also think it's a bit too lonely to have only one child. In fact, two are the best. They can help each other. There can't be more than three, otherwise we won't be able to take care of it."

Feng Xi nodded: "Well, let's just follow this standard and have a maximum of three children."

Ruan Mengyao smiled and asked again:
"Three of you, can you handle it? I'm just a little ancestor, and I'm already very tired."

"Hire a nanny," Feng Xi said, "If one nanny can't take care of it, then hire two nannies. If two nannies can't take care of it, then hire three nannies. It doesn't cost much anyway, we can afford it."

Ruan Mengyao thought about it and realized that they were indeed not short of money.

Not only can you hire a nanny, but you can also hire a tutor, a nutrition consultant, and a parenting team.

As long as you have enough money, raising children can become a very easy task.

When she was in Shanghai, Feng Chen hired a nanny to take care of her children, so that she could have the energy to help Feng Chen with the company's business.

It's just that the nanny also went home to celebrate the New Year and didn't come with her. The whole trip made the couple tired.

However, she also told Feng Xi that it did not mean that hiring a nanny meant she could completely let go. There were still many aspects that needed attention.

Not caring at all is a terrible thing.

She has experience in this area and has heard some stories.

Now share those things with Feng Xi.

She felt that if Feng Xi wanted to have a baby, she should know these things and be mentally prepared for some troubles that would arise in the process of raising a baby.

While they were chatting, Feng Chen was sleeping and didn't listen to a word.

Yan Xin was driving the car and sometimes would interject a word or two.

As he spoke, Ruan Mengyao from behind became silent.

Feng Xi looked back and saw that he had fallen asleep.

She lowered her voice and said to Yan Xin:

"They are all asleep. Let's speak lower and don't wake them up."

Not talking is not very good. After driving for a long time, it is easy to get tired. If you get distracted for a moment, you may get into a car accident. You need someone to chat with you.

Yan Xin also lowered his voice: "They held an annual meeting last night. They were on the road without sleeping. It must be very hard. It's normal to fall asleep."

Feng Xi sighed: "There is no shortage of money, so why do you make yourself so tired? Even if you make less money for a day or two, it doesn't matter."
