City People [Rebirth]

Later, Lu Jia carefully inquired about the specific situation from the secretary who had been to Xinhe Town, and searched for travel guides on the Internet.The project of Xinhe Town was completed in a very short period of time, and because of the shortage of funds, the funds for publicity were not enough, resulting in a very narrow range of radiation for tourists, and it has just covered surrounding provinces and cities, so online tourism There are very few guides, but as long as the tourists who have been there have left good comments.

Because it's a self-driving trip, you can bring a lot of things with you. With Zhou Heyi's personality, she is willing to do her best.They reserved a small courtyard with a kitchen. Seasonal vegetables are grown in the yard, which can be picked at will, or they can go to the farm to pick and buy them.

When booking a room, Lu Jia found that very few courtyard houses with kitchens were booked out. Also, I was usually busy with three meals a day at home, so why bother going out and immersing myself in daily necessities?But Zhou Heyi usually likes to cook very much, and during this time he basically doesn't care about it, so he is also very interested in the practice of picking and cooking now.

Zhou Heyi was worried that the kitchen supplies over there would not be handy, so she not only brought a set of pots and pans, but also a set of seasoning supplies, and finally packed out several large boxes.Lu Jia was dumbfounded looking at the luggage, so he went to Lu Bo's garage to buy a jeep, filled the trunk to the brim, and then drove on the road.

The collection of cars in Lu Bo's garage is growing day by day. All the keys are stored in the garage. Normally, Lu Jia can just go get it with whatever car he uses. As a result, the only car in his name is the original Saobaohong. sports car.

Because there is a two-hour journey, Zhou Heyi specially brought a CD, "Le Petit Prince", a commemorative version of the premiere of his visit to China. Ten years ago, Zhou Heyi went to listen to the scene and bought this commemorative album. Picking and picking in my favorites, I picked out this CD with a relatively relaxed and pleasant rhythm.

Cheerful music poured out, and Zhou Heyi lay comfortably on the pushed-down seat, chatting with Lu Jia casually.While talking, they talked about their younger sister Lu Mu who played an important role in their lives.

Zhou Heyi said: "I used to think that children were scary, but after getting in touch with Twilight, I realized that they are also very cute."

Lu Jia said: "That's what we think. My mother said that she is always bullying others and crying in kindergarten. She is really a brat."

Zhou Heyi said that she didn't think so, and retorted: "That's because other children bullied her first, and then she fought back."

Lu Jia was noncommittal.A few days ago, Lu Mu used "Harvard or Cambridge" to slap him back. He hasn't recovered yet, and he always feels that his cute and cute sister has been raised in a wrong way, arrogant and wanton, but I have to say , Lu Mu like this is also very cute.

Zhou Heyi was silent for a while, considered her words, and said, "She is so cute, I also want a child to raise at home."

At this time, the car was already on the highway, otherwise Lu Jia would have to stop the car and discuss this issue with Zhou Heyi seriously.Now he could only quickly look sideways at Zhou Heyi's expression, realizing that he was serious and not just making a joke casually, and then continued to watch the road, but his mind was spinning rapidly, constantly thinking about Zhou Heyi's words.

Not surprised.After all, to have a surrogate child is the consensus reached by the two of them from the very beginning - the Lu family needs this child, but apart from that, the two of them don't have much obsession with the child itself, let alone look forward to it , love, there is no.

Lu Jia also had a deep psychological shadow, and doubted whether he could be a qualified father. For this reason, he studied parenting books long in advance, but the more he read, the more he fell into fear: the book said that every parent’s Every action will have a huge impact on the child's character, behavior, and future. Can he take on such a big thing?

Lu Jia in this life, with his own efforts, managed to experience the atmosphere of a normal family, but Zhou Heyi was different.He only has the concept of what "parents" should do from books and TV. He can't understand how a normal family should get along with each other.If a child suffers from domestic cold violence since childhood, then when he grows up, he will probably be afraid of his family, especially his child, fearing that he will become his own reflection.

If there was no Lu Mu, they might have delayed the matter of the child over and over again, until they could no longer delay it, and handed it over to the Lu family's parents and nanny to take care of.However, when Lu Mu was born, they all took care of her with their own hands. Watching her grow from a small baby to a lively and clever girl, taking care of and being relied on was so warm and satisfying, and I couldn't help it. There are a lot of expectations, will their children do the same?

So although the two didn't talk directly, they did have more plans for the future in their hearts.During the parting this time, Mu Mu gave each of the two elder brothers a sticky slobbering kiss, which melted their hearts again, and Zhou Heyi felt a great touch.

If there is a child, he will love him/her and take care of him/her. While doing a good job as a father, it is also a kind of compensation for his once small and poor self.The family affection he had fantasized about, let him give it to himself this time...

That's why Zhou Heyi said that suddenly, but he had indeed thought it through.

Zhou Heyi said: "You wanted to show me the photos of the surrogate last time, but I didn't. Is it still in your phone?"

Lu Jia handed him the phone and said, "In the encrypted album, the password is also a fingerprint."

Zhou Heyi swiped her fingerprint, turned on the phone, and went straight to the photo album to look through it.There are very few photos in Lu Jia's mobile phone album, and most of them are pictures of various projects.Zhou Heyi found the encrypted photo album, swiped her fingerprint again, and saw that there were many photos of black-haired women in it.

Indeed, a lot.Because Lu Jia searched for it very early, and he couldn't determine the time, and it was impossible for a surrogate to wait for him, so these photos are all in line with Lu Jia's appearance and physical conditions, and they are only used as a backup, in case there is no one who is ready.

Zhou Heyi looked at the photos very carefully, flipping through the photos one by one, zooming in and staring at the face carefully, put the phone back after a long time, and said helplessly: "I almost forgot one thing. I am afraid that if there is a child, the person behind Zhou Mengmeng will What is one going to do with this child?"

Lu Jia was also taken aback.Indeed, this is a problem.That person pretended to be Zhou Mengmeng and came to target Zhou Heyi. On the surface, they are brothers and sisters. If Zhou Heyi had a child, it might break the current balance, and the person behind that was hidden so deeply that it took Jin San to investigate for a few months. , but have no clue.

Lu Jia smiled and said, "Then just wait until we resolve this matter. I am only 24 this year, and you are only 27. None of my college classmates are married yet. We don't need to be so anxious."

This was just self-consolation, Zhou Heyi accepted this consolation, but there was a hint of worry between her brows.Lu Jia told him a joke, and it didn't take long for Zhou Heyi to laugh.

Two hours of chatting and laughing passed quickly, the SUV got off the highway, and there was a sign saying "Xinhe Town" in front of it, and after driving for another half an hour, it had already entered the town.

Oncoming is the antique town, there is a large parking lot outside, and vehicles are not allowed to enter the town.After completing the parking procedures, Lu Jia and Zhou Heyi took their suitcases, entered the town, and looked around.Here are all antique buildings, low eaves, green brick paths on the ground, and a long man-made river beside the town, which passes through the middle of the town, and there are several artificial shakers parked on the river. For the awning boat, you can choose to row the boat yourself, or use the boatman they provide.All of this has the charm of an ancient town with a low eyebrow and a slight smile, and it is not deliberate.

The buildings in Xinhe Township are all newly built, and they had no background at first, but after looking at them now, they are well built, allowing people to blend into the atmosphere well.

The hotels here are all run by the same family and are officially operated by the town project party, so they are very secure and you can rest assured.About half of all the buildings in the town are courtyard houses that can be rented, and the rest are local residents and various shops. Walking along the river, the two quickly walked to the accommodation management center, and then the administrator brought He walked them to the reserved courtyard, gave them the keys, showed them around the courtyard, and then walked away.

Zhou Heyi is very satisfied with the environment, it is clean and tidy, the kitchen is well-equipped, the bathroom has no peculiar smell, and there is a big bathtub.As soon as the suitcase was put away, the two of them began to pack their luggage. Zhou Heyi not only brought the quilt covers and sheets at home, but also disposable basin covers and bathtub covers, and even a small kettle for boiling water. Otherwise, why are there so many? What about luggage?

After packing up and arranging the hut where the two of them will live for the next seven days, it was noon and they started preparing for cooking.At the corner of the courtyard is a field, where a wide variety of vegetables are grown, as well as onions, ginger, garlic and peppers in the kitchen.Zhou Heyi dug out a few small green vegetables with the tools prepared here, and went into the kitchen to get busy.

In the afternoon, he will go to the shed and the market here to fill up the small refrigerator.

There is nothing to say about the taste of the ingredients. Although they are freshly picked and cooked, Zhou Heyi usually buys the freshest organic vegetables. The taste is better than here. Here is mainly for those who want to do it themselves, away from the city. pleasure.

They took a nap at noon and walked around the town after getting up.Both of them are well-informed people, and this place does not make them feel amazing, but the quiet atmosphere and cleanliness make them enjoy it very much.

Lu Jia looked at it, and understood why Xinhe Town was not well-known. It was also because of the vague positioning. It was a signboard of a farmhouse and a tourist town, but in fact it was not distinctive. There are no impressive play items, only suitable for tourists who want to stay away from the city and live a quiet and slow-paced life.

This is not to say that this project failed, it can only be said that Lu Jia's vision is too critical, and this project is not as bad as he thought.
