Investment Life

Just as the door opened, a series of footsteps rushed in, followed by the nanny's anxious shout, "Run slowly, Xingxing..."

A smile spread across Wang Juan's face, and she knew without asking that this was her youngest son after school.Sure enough, within a few seconds, a thick-headed little boy rushed in, without panting, and ran directly to the side of the crib.

"Keep your voice down, the babies just fell asleep." Seeing her son's curious expression, Wang Juan couldn't help but smile and walked over, touching his sweaty forehead. "Don't change clothes and shoes before entering the door. It's so cold, don't catch a cold."

"Why are they always sleeping..."

The little boy pursed his mouth in frustration, these two white and soft little things would sneak up every time he went to school!Reluctantly standing on tiptoe, he stretched his chubby little hand into the crib, and lightly poked the baby lying outside, in exchange for the baby's unconscious squirming, which made him withdraw his hand again in fright.Last time he accidentally woke up the baby, and as a result, one baby started crying, and the other wailed immediately, almost making him cry too.After that, he only dared to wait and see these two little guys.

"They are still young~~ You were so sleepy back then! Be good, go wash your hands with mom first, we are little uncles, we have to set a good example for them."

These words are simply a panacea, more than enough to deal with a 6-year-old boy.Reluctantly holding his mother's hand, Chen Jiaxing followed his mother to the bathroom step by step.Seeing her son's caring expression, Wang Juan couldn't help laughing.But it's not surprising, it's quite a novel experience for Xiao Jiaxing to suddenly become the elder of others when he grows up to 5 or 6 years old.

After coaxing her son to eat the fruit in the afternoon and adding a large glass of milk, Wang Juan led him back to the nursery.Their family just reached an agreement last month. It is not a problem to accompany the two babies, but they must be quiet and read more books to prepare for telling stories to the babies.

For the impatient little boy, this agreement can be called the Overlord Clause, but in order to see more of the two little guys, he reluctantly accepted it, and actively prepared a lot of fun stories, just waiting Tell the babies when they wake up.As a result, the babies are still sleeping and sleeping every day, and there are only a handful of times when it is his turn to tell stories.

Seeing that her son started to read her own preschool books, Wang Juan smiled and sat aside and pulled up a sweater.In fact, her skills are quite average, but she practiced for a long time when she was born in Jiaxing, and when she reunited with Liu Yun last year, she asked her for some stitches, and now she knits quite well.Seeing that the winter is coming, she always has to knit some small clothes for the babies herself to rest assured.

Hooking the socks in her hand, she glanced at her son sitting in front of the small table and chair from time to time.Every once in a while, this kid would go to the crib to look at the two little babies, and finally couldn't hold back anymore, he hugged the book to the small bed beside him, and put on a steadfast posture.A smile could not help but overflowed from her lips, Wang Juan stopped what she was doing, and looked at the scene in front of her in a daze.

She did not anticipate the birth of two children.In June last year, when her son suddenly told her that they had found a surrogate mother, Wang Juan was terrified.This is a pair of children without a "mother".The eggs used by the twins come from the gene bank, and there is no way to know the origin of the mother in blood. The surrogate mother found by the American surrogacy center who conceived them has signed many agreements and has nothing to do with the child's blood.

In Wang Juan's eyes, this kind of thing that violates common sense is simply unimaginable.But that was a child after all, with the son's blood flowing through his body, and it was also the son's biggest concession to them.In the end, Wang Juan gritted her teeth and set foot on a flight abroad for the first time in her life to visit the pair of unborn babies.

This trip abroad is an unforgettable experience for Wang Juan.She came to the United States of America on the other side of the world and saw a new world completely different from China.There are so many skyscrapers that people can hardly breathe, and people of all skin colors gather together so naturally, the roads are spacious, the traffic is like a tide, and there are girls and boys who are scantily dressed.In the first few days after arriving in the United States, her head was buzzing, and she couldn't rest for a moment.

However, in the spacious and bright surrogacy center, she met the surrogate mother who was pregnant with her grandson.It was a very young Chinese girl, bright and healthy looking, with a clean and bright smile.During her guilt-ridden questioning, the girl just smiled and said it was a job.She is also willing to help those who are in love but unable to have children bring children, just like a white crane that brings babies.

Wang Juan had never heard of Bai He's story, and she was even a little ashamed to tell the reason why her son was "infertile".But the girl knew it clearly, without the slightest bit of shame, but popularized many gay rights movements to her, such as the Stonewall movement in New York, such as Gay Pride Day.

This was something Wang Juan hated to hear most in the past, but with the company of this girl, she actually listened to it. She even found her son and asked him to accompany her to New York City.This is also the first time that Chen Yuanming has been with his mother for a long time since he came out of the closet, together with Xiao Junyi.

They visited the most prosperous city in the world, went to Greenwich Village in Manhattan, saw the Statue of Liberty, and witnessed the ruins of the World Trade Center.Wang Juan knew about 9.11 and watched the news on TV.But looking at the wreck up close, the psychological panic is so staggering.She thought of the plane her son used to fly to and from, and of his property in New York... What were the chances that he would board that plane and disappear into the ruins, never to return.

Turning her face in a daze, she saw her son and the man named Xiao Junyi standing side by side. In the middle of the two, the same broad and strong palms were tightly held together, as if supporting each other.Wang Juan burst into tears, tears streaming down her face.She couldn't tell what she was thinking at that moment, but she finally let go of the knot about this relationship.

Then came the long pregnancy. She knew better than anyone how busy these two young people were with their careers, but they still often went to the hospital to see their children, even if they only took a little time to say a few words and listen to their heart sounds.The birth of twins has always been difficult. In order to wait for the birth, the two left all their jobs and did not leave New York for half a month.On the night when the child was born, the two of them stood outside the ward so anxiously, without moving for several hours.

Wang Juan finally understood at that time that they might look forward to and cherish the twins even more than their elders. "Love" is still a strange thing to her, but she understands that this child is the crystallization of their love.

The twins are a boy and a girl. DNA testing was done after birth. The boy belongs to Chen Yuanming, and the girl belongs to Xiao Junyi.For a moment, Wang Juan was even a little scared, fearing that this "granddaughter" would not please Xiao Junyi, but the young man smiled like any silly father, full of pride and showing off, as well as joy from the heart.

They named their two children, the boy Chen Zixiao and the girl Xiao Zichen.Even a person with her education level is not difficult to understand the meaning of these two names.After several months of turmoil, the family returned to Beijing and held a hundred-day banquet here.Then……

Wang Juan came back to her senses, and suddenly found that the screeching noises made by her youngest son had disappeared. After a closer look, she found that the boy was lying on the bed and snoring again.Shaking her head and smiling, she got up and pulled the thin quilt aside to cover him. After working for so long, she should catch up on some sleep.

Ten minutes later, Xiao Junyi saw such a scene when he entered the door.The mother-in-law was sitting by the bed, knitting a sweater, humming an unknown nursery rhyme, while the three children seemed to be lulled to sleep by this simple lullaby, and were snoring soundly.Unable to restrain the smile on the corner of his mouth, he walked in gently.

"Ah, you're back." Wang Juan saw Xiao Junyi's figure and stood up.

"I'm not very busy today, so I took a vacation for myself." The smile on Xiao Junyi's face was not as dazzling as when he was young, but his demeanor and charm increased instead of diminishing.

Wang Juan couldn't help feeling a little strange sense of pride in her heart. She had to say that her son's vision was still nothing to say.

"It's time for the babies to wake up, right?" Although Xiao Junyi has only been a father for a few months, Xiao Junyi obviously takes every detail into his heart, and naturally knows the children's sleep time.

Wang Juan also glanced at the clock, "Oh, it's time to wake up, I'll go get two bottles of milk."

It took only a few minutes to go there, and when we returned to the room again, the room was already in a mess. Both children woke up on time, turned on the water, and started crying at the same time. Xiao Junyi couldn't take care of him alone. .Awakened by the baby's cry, Chen Jiaxing also woke up, looking at the situation in front of him in a daze.

Laughing dumbfounded, Wang Juan walked over quickly, picked up her grandson, and stuffed him with a pacifier.Only then did Xiao Junyi let out a sigh of relief, and nimbly put on a clean diaper for his daughter, then gently picked her up and fed her little princess.

Chen Jiaxing couldn't bear it any longer, and approached lightly.He looked at this side, then at that side, his face was full of excitement.The two little guys are easy to identify for him, the boy has big and round eyes, dark and never afraid of people, while the girl has a pair of thin and long eyes, always squinting shyly, looking extravagant Kind of naive.With just a few glances, Chen Jiaxing chose his target and put him next to Xiao Junyi.

Looking at this little guy, Xiao Junyi couldn't help teasing him, "Jiaxing, do you like Xiaoxiao or Chenchen?"

"Chen Chen!" Chen Jiaxing answered simply, "Chen Chen is so cute!"

The father immediately raised his tail, "That's right, my Chenchen is the cutest!"

"You child." Wang Juan couldn't help laughing, how could she not hear this bit of word play. "By the way, isn't Yuan Ming coming back today?"

"It may take a few more days." Xiao Junyi smiled apologetically, "Recently, the international raw material market has undergone some changes, and he will be busy for a while."

Not only the price of molybdenum ore, 2002 was the year when the world economy began to recover, and the prices of oil, iron ore, and gold all soared. Chen Yuanming has now started to get involved in crude oil futures, and the mining industry under his command is a period of great advancement.In addition, the country has recently begun to increase its rectification efforts, gradually integrating the chaotic rare earth market, making it standardized and large-scale. This year, the price of rare earths has begun to drop sharply, which is the right time to enter the market.

Since several properties are not located in Beijing, no matter how eager Chen Yuanming is to return home, it is impossible for him to return home every day.Therefore, the Gu family became the relatively relaxed Xiao Junyi.This year Jun Teng began to step up efforts to develop the real estate industry. Those who cheated back from the United States last year need more funds to feed them. With the reform of commercial housing, the real estate industry is also showing a trend of heating up. Although this is not the goal, but A few quick bucks are obviously not out of the question.

Looking at the man with a tired face in front of her, Wang Juan suddenly felt a little ashamed.I'm afraid that my son has nothing to do with the "virtuous housemate", but Xiao Junyi just walked over with him like this, and it hasn't changed a bit in the past few years, and the injury he suffered to save his son...

Clearing her throat, Wang Juan said in a low voice, "Jun Yi, if you are too busy, you can take a break. I am still young, and it is absolutely fine to take care of two children. And my family Yuanming... I will let him Come home more..."

Raising his eyebrows in surprise, Xiao Junyi smiled, "Mom, don't worry, we can take care of it. There will always be a shift change later, let Yuanming toss it when the child gets skinny."

There was a hint of pride and irony in that smile.Wang Juan couldn't help laughing, "You child..."

Of course, Chen Jiaxing, who was standing by, was not interested in listening to adults chatting. He lightly stretched out his finger and poked his niece's soft palm. Xiao Zichen looked over curiously while drinking milk, and blinked his slender eyes. , a small dimple appeared on the lip.

Chen Jiaxing opened his mouth happily, and said to her in a low voice, "Don't fall asleep again later! I have learned a lot of new stories! A long time ago, there was a very big country, and there was a beautiful Beautiful little princess..."

The childish voice is soft and waxy, full of joy.

The author has something to say: Regarding 9.11, this incident really cannot be stopped, and it cannot be stopped. It involves too much, so it still happened as usual in the story.Although the world is so cruel, there is always a new life after death.

The "Stonewall incident" (English: stonewall riots) is a landmark event in the history of gay rights, which triggered the actions of gay rights in the United States and expanded to the world.A powerful gay rights organization, the Gay Liberation Front, is formed.
