my old robot

Xiao Chenmo chatted with Boss Huo for a while, and it happened that Huo Chengyu also came to see his father. The old friends sat in the same room again but there was nothing to talk about. Fortunately, Boss Huo was a talkative person. All that remained was his loud voice.

"It's getting late. Uncle Huo, I'll go back first." Xiao Chenmo got up and said goodbye to Boss Huo.

Huo Chengyu also stood up and planned to see her off. This set of basic etiquette for hospitality made him maintain his superficial politeness as much as possible no matter how much he disliked someone.

"I have to stay for dinner today. How can Uncle Ho let you go when you come here so rarely? Xiao Liu, go and prepare lunch."

"Uncle Ho, I won't eat lunch, I will come to see you next time."

"The next time is the next time, this time is this time, if you don't stay now, you will lose face to Uncle Ho."

I'm afraid that there is no one in the entire mechanical circle who will not give face to Boss Huo Da, once this hat is buckled, Xiao Chenmo has no choice but to stay.

The secretary called the star-rated hotel outside when Boss Huo had just ordered, and the food was delivered soon, and a table was fully arranged.Boss Huo treats guests, regardless of how many people there are, the table must be full of dishes.

"Xiao Mo, eat more." If he didn't eat it himself, he just added food to Xiao Chenmo, "I remember this was your favorite food when you were young."

Boss Huo Da is such a rough and fine person, he even remembers Xiao Chenmo's favorite food when he was a child.Xiao Chenmo was not unmoved, but the big boss of such a big company remembered about him.It's no wonder that a group of old employees have followed him for decades. I'm afraid Boss Huo's personal charm is greater.

At the dinner table, Boss Huo asked about Huo Chengyu's work, and he didn't shy away from Xiao Chenmo's presence at all. Huo Chengyu also listened patiently to his opinions on how he handled things.Xiao Chenmo suddenly had the feeling that Huo Chengyu had grown up overnight, the impetuous feeling of a young boy faded away from his body, and a serious expression appeared on his youthful face.Obviously, when I met him yesterday, I didn't feel this way yet.

Probably because he took on the entire company at a young age so he had to grow up quickly.Xiao Chenmo's thoughts began to drift away. Everyone has their own way to move forward. It's just that some people are born with heavier burdens than ordinary people. They seem to have infinite scenery on the surface, but they also have more Ordinary people carry more burdens and have to work hard to move forward.

"Let Cheng Yu drive you back, and take the light rail for such a long journey." Boss Huo said to Xiao Chenmo.

Huo Chengyu had already got up and was about to leave, he was standing at the door waiting for Xiao Chenmo.

Xiao Chenmo thought to himself that he would definitely not be willing to take him back, but it was hard to refuse in front of Uncle Huo, and it would not be too late to leave the nursing home after a while, so he simply went out with Huo Chengyu.

The green trees and flowers in the nursing home are lush and verdant. In the season when everything outside is withered, the flowers here are still invincible.Huo Chengyu walked quickly in front of Xiao Chenmo, and when he reached the corner of Shizi Road, he stopped and waited for Xiao Chenmo on the spot.

"It's really a waste, even walking slowly." Huo Chengyu frowned and looked at Xiao Chenmo with distaste, his frizzy childish look returned.

"Uh...you go back first. I'll take the light rail later."

"My dad asked me to drive you back, and you told me to take the light rail to go back. Do you want my dad to know that there is a reason to criticize me?"

Anyway, it was just a hitchhiking ride, Xiao Chen Mo thought about it and passed.With such patience, Huo Chengyu took him to another place.

Xiao Chenmo looked up at the big characters of the hospital, he somewhat guessed who Huo Chengyu was taking him to see.

"Hurry up, the visiting time is about to pass." Huo Chengyu urged him impatiently.

Xiao Chenmo followed quickly, walked through the long and cold corridor of the hospital, and stopped in a special intensive care unit Huo Chengyu.

"I didn't understand why my mother left me and left alone. I pulled her sleeve and begged her not to leave, but she shook off my hand and left without looking back." Huo Chengyu stared at the hospital bed in the intensive care unit The one with her thin, dry face and body full of tubes.

"I know that the hope of her waking up is very slim, but I don't want to give up. I think that one day she can hold my hand again and say to me: Chengyu, let's go home."

Xiao Chenmo's nose started to turn sore, and in his distant memory, this woman always smiled gently and said to him: Xiao Mo, be good friends with Cheng Yu!

Distant memories are like water seeping into the ground. They are buried deep in the mind and do not want to be brought up again. The more they think about it, the sadder it will be.

"Do you know why I hate you so much?" Huo Chengyu said suddenly.

Xiao Chenmo didn't want to know the answer.

"My dad likes you so much. He said that you are a natural mechanic, and he still admires your ability to modify the robot's program."

"No, my grades are average. At that time, I was mostly lucky."

"Don't be self-effacing. Regardless of whether you were lucky or not at that time, it is a fact that you won my father's approval. As the future successor of SR company, how can I not have a sense of crisis?"

What Huo Chengyu didn't say was that his father not only loved Xiao Chenmo very much, but also had a different feeling for Xiao Yuxiang, which he couldn't accept.For so many years, if it weren't for his obvious opposition, his father would have been with Xiao Yuxiang long ago, right?What about your own mother?Where will my mother be?

The hospital nurse reminded the two that it was time to visit.Xiao Chenmo followed Huo Chengyu and walked out of the hospital. At this moment, Essex's communication message came.

"...Uh... There are still people waiting for me, so I won't take your car."

"Is it that lover's robot?" Huo Chengyu's eyes were full of disdain, and he smiled slightly, "Auntie would allow you to be with a robot?"

"It's my lover." Xiao Chenmo corrected.

"Since it's a lover, why don't you register your marriage with it?"

"I will." Xiao Chenmo replied.

Huo Chengyu just smiled lightly, "A machine is just a machine, you can throw it away after you use it. After you get married, when it has the same rights and interests as humans, it will not be so easy to throw it away. You really are An elm-headed man who doesn't know how to adapt."

"It's different from other robots, it's special." The elm-headed Xiao Chen was at the end of his nerve.

"All humans who order new robots will say at the beginning that the robot they fancy is the most different, but they will get bored after a long time. Humans like the new and dislike the old the most. I still advise you to play with it. Why bother with a robot? Sexual products are a dead end."

"I never think that robots are just objects, they are also alive. Humans create them, and they should be given the same rights as humans."

"Ridiculous. If all robots are given the same rights and interests as humans, the world will not be turned upside down. The whole country will be dominated by machines. Where will humans be at that time?"

"But did humans create them just to enslave them?"

"Humans need machines that do the lowest jobs. If there are no robots in this society to fill the vacancies at the bottom, why do we need these robots?"

This is the biggest difference between Xiao Chenmo's thinking and Huo Chengyu's. Huo Chengyu always thinks like a businessman, and machines are just commodities.And Xiao Chenmo is a mechanical student. Those who study mechanics will regard machines as alive, they are not just cold data and parts.

Huo Chengyu hated Xiao Chenmo's bullshit theory that robots are the same as humans.If robots are the same as humans, what is the use of machine manufacturers like them?This kind of pedantic thinking is exactly the same as that group of old men in the research and development room.

Xiao Chenmo felt that he and Huo Chengyu were really people from two worlds, and they couldn't communicate with each other.But he also understands that some of Huo Chengyu's views are correct. If every robot is given the same rights as humans, wouldn't the world be turned upside down?Think of Colim, where it is more like a small independent world surrounded by a defensive shield, and the human beings in it are more like precious creatures kept in captivity by machines.

Essex was sitting in the open-air cafe opposite the hospital building, her blond hair was tied loosely on her shoulders, and a few strands of hair covered her cheeks, which made her profile look more feminine.It just sat there quietly, beautifully like a painting, this is a 360-degree robot with no dead ends.

Xiao Chenmo suddenly became jealous of the passers-by on the street staring at it, Essex was so eye-catching.

"The appearance of the ai3k4 super high-end version produced by SR is impeccable." Standing beside Xiao Chenmo, Huo Chengyu said: "Its internal program has set as many as hundreds of human bed movement modes, but it's a pity that it's not the following that."

Huo Chengyu looked at Xiao Chenmo with pity. He didn't expect that his former little friend was not only a base, but also a lower class. This made the dark side deep in his heart feel a little darker.

Contrary to Huo Chengyu's unhappiness, Xiao Chenmo's unhappiness was in the state of boiling water, constantly bubbling.Damn, what do you mean by looking at me like this?

It's really annoying to have someone who knows the model of the robot like the back of his hand standing next to him, especially Huo Chengyu.

"Aren't you going back to the company in a hurry?" Xiao Chenmo hoped that he would quickly leave his sight.

"I'm not in a hurry now, I wonder what Auntie Xiao's colleagues will look like when they know that her only son is gay?" Huo Chengyu continued to provoke Xiao Chenmo very much.

Xiao Chenmo walked away, and if he stood with him again, he might be despised by him. Now he is sure that Huo Chengyu's maturity is all on the surface, that kid is no different from before.

Xiao Chenmo rushed to Essex with a constipated expression on his face, "Why did you come out?"

Essex looked at him, then glanced at Huo Chengyu who was still standing in the distance, and he heard everything he said.

"Mo, do you care about my model?"

"I care." Xiao Chenmo replied.

Essex's mechanical heart throbbed.

"I care about so many people looking at you on the street, you obviously belong to me alone."

Essex couldn't help but was full of smiles, it used the most alluring expression on the street to seduce Xiao Chenmo, "Can I kiss you here?"

"Hmm." Although Xiao Chenmo felt that it was shameful to do such a thing in public, he somehow felt unable to resist Essex's request for a kiss.

Essex bowed his head and kissed him deeply, and from the corner of his eye, he saw that Huo Chengyu had turned and left.

"Essex."

"Ok?"

"We're getting married." Xiao Chenmo said.

Essex looked into his eyes, his eyes were so clear that there was no trace of impurities, it wanted to occupy this clarity forever, let him belong to itself, and no one could pry into it.It suppressed the violent beating frequency of the mechanical heart due to excitement, and replied with a voice so low that it was almost a whisper, "Okay."

Xiao Chenmo filled out the marriage registration form online, taking pictures and signing can be done on the communicator, the only trouble is that he needs to go to the marriage registration office to sign on paper and stamp the certificate.The marriage registration point in this city is a bit far away, but for the two happy couples eager to get their seals certified, this distance is nothing.

The aunt at the registration station explained the lengthy marriage law to the newcomers, Xiao Chenmo listened absent-mindedly, and stretched out his fingers to hook Essex's palm.Essex was listening very seriously, and it held Xiao Chenmo's hand to prevent him from making small moves.

"Okay, that's basically it. Another thing is to pay a [-] deposit at the payment office over there. After you get the invoice, you can get the certificate and go home."

Xiao Chenmo was puzzled, "Auntie, what's the matter with the [-] deposit?"

"It's not that you young people are either looking for a robot to marry, or engaging in some kind of DINKism. What if everyone DINKs the future of our nation? Our government staff are also worried about your childbirth. You can get back 6 yuan after you have a child, not only can you get back the full amount, but you will be rewarded with [-] yuan for the first child, [-] yuan for the second child, and [-] yuan for the third child..."

Xiao Chenmo took it, "[-], right?"

"Yes." The aunt replied, "The current welfare is good. There is also a business card of a surrogacy center here. You can choose an institution you trust to nurture your baby."

The business card that the aunt handed over was printed with a picture of the mechanical womb surrogacy, and a round and cute baby was floating in the round transparent artificial womb.Xiao Chenmo just put the business card aside casually, "If it's so much, it's not enough to just reward tens of thousands, right? It's not enough to raise a child for a year."

"Hey, you are young. Having children is something that you will enjoy personally in the future. As the saying goes, more children and more grandchildren bring more blessings, do you know?"

"We are already preparing for surrogacy." Essex gently squeezed Xiao Chenmo's palm, "Should we pay the fee first?"

"Oh." Xiao Chenmo finally stopped talking endlessly with the middle-aged aunt.

Essex quickly brought back the bills, and the aunt stamped all the bills, and handed the printed marriage certificate to Xiao Chenmo.
