my old robot

After lunch with my mother and grandma, Xiao Chenmo and Essex went to visit Old Man Ke in the afternoon.

"Let's go in a small collar, it's far away in the suburbs." Xiao Yuxiang said.

"No need, I'll just take the light rail." Xiao Chenmo rejected his mother's suggestion, since he had nothing else to do, he could take the light rail and set off by himself.

"Essex, come here." Xiao Yuxiang took Essex into the room alone and chatted for a few more words. Xiao Chenmo was almost dying of curiosity. What secret did my mother want to tell Essex not to let him go? Know it yourself?

Xiao Yuxiang chatted with Essex for a while and then let it out. Xiao Chenmo didn't dare to ask it face to face, and waited until he went out to force him to ask, "What did my mother tell you?"

"She wants you to have a baby now."

"Huh? Let you have one?" Xiao Chenmo laughed.

Essex looked serious, "No, she has already found a foreign surrogacy agency for you."

"Is it okay? Even in foreign countries, it is a mechanical womb. It is said that many babies born in the machine womb have hidden defects. Besides, I haven't finished my studies yet, and I can't support myself. Wait until I earn some money Wouldn’t it be better to find a surrogate mother after the money?”

"We don't need an artificial mechanical womb. We need to find a suitable surrogate mother to give birth to our baby. And you can work and study next year."

"Although the schoolwork is not so heavy in the senior grades and you can work and study part-time, but now finding a surrogate mother is astronomical, okay? How can our family afford it?"

"My mother said that she would sell all the houses she lived in to cover the cost of the surrogacy." Essex said.

"Sell all the houses, where will we live? It's not necessary to rush to sell the house and have a baby now, right?"

Essex turned his face away and smiled, Xiao Chenmo knew it was teasing him when he saw its expression.

"What's going on? Tell me."

"I have money. So, no need to sell the house."

"Huh? Where did you get the money?"

"Use your money to buy stocks and gamble."

Xiao Chenmo jumped up, "Nimma, I didn't know you spent my money."

Essex looked at him with a deadpan poker face.

"Okay, okay. My money is your money too, but you have to talk to me later."

"Well, all my money is your money."

"Okay. We now have a sum of money that can be used to pay for the surrogate mother, but didn't my mother ask you how you got the money?"

"I said you made a big gamble at Collim."

Nima, Essex's dirty water can be splashed as often as you like, and it's so casual on the ground.

Xiao Chenmo looked at it mechanically, "My mother won't believe it?"

"She believed it, and she was so angry that she wanted to teach you a lesson. I stopped her and said that she would take good care of you in the future."

Xiao Chenmo had completely lost his temper, "You just let me take the blame for you?"

"Well, it was my fault."

"Is it useful to admit mistakes with bare lips? I won't forgive you without some practical actions."

"I was wrong. I will definitely discuss everything with you in advance, and I will take care of the child after it is born."

"That's what you said." Xiao Chenmo's footsteps became brisk all of a sudden, "Fucking mother, I will work hard for you in the future."

As long as you don't bring your own children, there are more children in the family.This was also the only condition that Xiao's mother agreed to Xiao Chenmo and Essex to be together. Anyway, sooner or later, she would have a baby.

Now that he had done the ideological work of Xiao Chenmo, Essex took him to the surrogacy agency first.

"Didn't you go to see old man Ke first?" Xiao Chenmo still thought that he could delay it for a day.

"Soon, there's time." Essex couldn't change his mind and dragged him to finish this matter first. Xiao Chenmo was the hottest person for 3 minutes. How to drag how to drag.

Overseas surrogacy has become very popular in the past few years. As long as the sperm is sealed up in China, there will be personnel specialized in this industry going abroad to handle all matters on their behalf, and the parties only need to pay a large sum of money to wait for the baby to arrive.

"At least you have to meet the surrogate mother before deciding?" Xiao Chenmo said.

"I've seen it in the video a long time ago, everything is arranged, don't worry." Essex replied.

So this time, my mother insisted that all of them come here to celebrate the New Year. I'm afraid the main reason is to get this matter done?

"All right, I'll listen to you." Xiao Chenmo no longer made unnecessary resistance, and it was useless to resist.

The surrogacy center is in a very inconspicuous alley, the sign above is still a plastic surgery hospital, and the equipment inside is also very simple.As soon as Xiao Chenmo entered the door, he began to retreat again. He whispered to Essex, "Is there a mistake? It doesn't look like a surrogate."

"That's right, my mother specifically confessed, and now the surrogates are very low-key."

But it's too low-key, so low-key that even the signboard uses plastic surgery.The staff inside were very enthusiastic, they took Xiao Chenmo to the door of a room, and Essex accompanied Xiao Chenmo in.

The room is decorated warmly and elegantly. A projector is placed on the table, and the wall facing the projector is playing the most primitive man-made movement of human beings.Xiao Chenmo was sweating inwardly, was it because he was afraid that the person who came to get the sperm wouldn't be hard?

Essex turned the projector off and went to the bathroom to wash his hands.

"Why do you close it? Are you planning to come by yourself?" Xiao Chenmo leaned on the door frame of the bathroom and teased it.

"Yeah." Essex looked serious.It bowed its head to kiss him, and reached down with one hand and began to untie his clothes.

Essex's hand can always control Xiao Chenmo's pleasure, and when it wants him to make a quick decision, it will never procrastinate any longer.After a quarter of an hour, it sealed the jar containing body fluids and handed it to the staff waiting outside the door.

Xiao Chenmo covered his face and was still unwilling to go out, "The people here are still waiting at the door, isn't it embarrassing for me like this?"

"No, they are professional staff."

"Then can we go?" Xiao Chenmo asked.

"can."

Xiao Chenmo dragged Essex out of this plastic surgery hospital with a sheep's head, Xiao Chenmo's embarrassment was relieved by the cold winter wind, and a feeling of concern for the future baby slowly rose in his heart. Looking forward to, "The rest is to wait for the baby to arrive?"

"We still need to do a sperm quality test. If it works, we will have a baby next year."

"Ah."

There are few pedestrians on the streets in winter. Xiao Chenmo was wrapped in a scarf and waited for the light rail at the station with Essex. Essex pulled his hand into his coat pocket, and he was only wearing a thin coat underneath. Xiao Chenmo's fingers felt its warm fuselage through the coat pocket, and Essex used his own body temperature to warm Xiao Chenmo's hands.

"Cold?"

"not cold."

The light rail slides into the station, Xiao Chenmo enters the carriage, and the hanging screen in the carriage plays the future robot design concept of SR company.Huo Chengyu's young face appeared much more mature and stable in the light and shadow clipping of the whole screen. He pointed to the words produced by SR with one finger and said seriously: "Be the best yourself and the best machine. I am Huo Chengyu. SR endorsement."

In the past, this SR company's invariable advertisement was written by Boss Huo Da, but this year it was replaced by Huo Chengyu. Xiao Chenmo guessed that Boss Huo might be training his son to be his successor.

He thought of finding a surveillance camera at Xiaoling's place today, and he mentioned it to his mother, who just picked up the surveillance camera with a nonchalant attitude and threw it into the trash can.

"This is evidence, mom, why did you throw it away?"

"It's nothing important. I can sweep out a lot of these things in this room. Maybe I accidentally dropped them into the small car."

If the mother accidentally dropped it there, it is impossible for the monitor to show the power-on state.The mother's nonchalant appearance may also be because she knows who the security surveillance person is.

"Mom, do you know who the owner of this monitor is?"

"Does the monitor still have an owner? This thing is not artificial intelligence. Well, it's getting late, you should go out and do things first."

Mother Xiao's refusal to discuss further made it impossible for Xiao Chenmo to continue the topic, and the matter of monitoring was left alone.Originally, my mother didn't want to talk about this matter, so Xiao Chenmo put it down and didn't think about it anymore. Now that he saw Huo Chengyu on the screen, that small modified monitor suddenly came to mind.

"My mother is also big-hearted, and she doesn't care if she is monitored." Xiao Chenmo muttered.

"There is no surveillance in the house." Essex said: "I have checked every corner of the house. My mother has installed anti-surveillance equipment. There is no possibility that there will be a surveillance camera in the house."

"You mean my mother installed anti-surveillance equipment in the house?"

"Yes."

In this way, my mother does know that she is being monitored, and I am afraid it will be a while.Who is going to monitor my mother's every move?Xiao Chenmo thought about it all the way, and he didn't think of a reason when the light rail arrived at the station.

"Forget it, my brain hurts if I think about it too much. My mother doesn't care, and I can't figure it out even if I want to break my head."

Xiao Chenmo got off the light rail with Essex, and he needed to register to visit Old Man Ke.The registration officer asked Xiao Chenmo to remove all the mechanical equipment from his body.

"Do you want to untie the communicator?"

"Yes, the communicator is also a mechanical device." The other party replied.

"Okay." Xiao Chenmo untied the communicator on his wrist and put it in the basket.

"And all hard prices, including your belt."

Xiao Chenmo untied his own belt and put it in. Fortunately, the pants fit better, and they didn't fall off without the belt.

"You can go in." The guard finally let him go.

At the end of Xiao Chen's walk, he did not expect Essex to be stopped, "Sorry, first-class dangerous items cannot enter."

"It's my lover, not an object."

"I'm sorry, sir. No machinery is allowed, and your lover is all machinery."

The damn rules.Xiao Chen had no choice but to let Essex wait outside, and go in to see old man Ke by himself.

"You wait for me first, I will come out after I see the old man."

"it is good."

The guards led Xiao Chenmo to go inside, through the long corridor, a green grass came into view, and then walked through the grass to a small five-story building.The light in the small building was still the oldest manual push-type switch, and the guard took him upstairs again. Xiao Chenmo was surprised that there are still floors that need to climb stairs in this era, and there is no elevator here.

Old man Ke was in a room on the third floor. The guard knocked on the door politely, and old man Ke's voice sounded from inside, "Come in."

The door opened, and the old man was sitting on a chair by the window reading a book, "Mr. Ke, someone is here to visit you."

Old man Ke raised his head, he saw Xiao Chenmo behind the guard, "Little Mo, come in quickly."

Xiao Chenmo entered the room. Apart from a bed and a chair, this room only had a stack of books on the floor. If there was anything else, it was the bathroom separated by a curtain. Only the toilet and a shower with a hose, there really isn't any metal fittings here.

Standing in front of old man Ke, Xiao Chenmo didn't know what to say.

"Ah, I don't even have a stool to sit on here. If you don't mind, you can sit on this stack of books."

"I don't mind." Xiao Chenmo really sat down on the stack of books that Old Man Ke pushed over.

The guard was still standing outside the door. Although he looked respectful to Old Man Ke, he had no intention of leaving.Xiao Chenmo glanced at him unnaturally, but the guard caught it vigilantly, "I'm sorry, Mr. Xiao, this is my duty."

"It's okay, we just chat casually." Old man Ke said, he turned to ask Xiao Chenmo, "How is your schoolwork?"

"The promotion test has been passed."

"Yeah. Cheng Wen came here a few days ago and talked about your mechanical operation method, which is clean and neat. He admires you very much."

At the end of Xiao Chen's mind, Professor Cheng probably didn't want to mention bad things in front of his old teacher. In fact, he was scolded by him at the time. If Old Man Ke didn't happen to be his teacher, he might He was about to be disqualified on the spot.

"Well, Professor Cheng is also a very easy-going person." Xiao Chenmo said.

"easy-going?" old man Ke laughed, "this kid is the most critical, he and easy-going are not compatible, you two just talk about each other in front of me, okay, treat me as an old fool Woolen cloth?"

Xiao Chenmo's face turned red, he didn't expect Old Man Ke to know everything.

"Your mother also came here a few days ago and talked about your love life. She was very worried about you."

"Essex is very good, it is better than anyone else." Xiao Chenmo hurriedly defended.

"Are you nervous when you talk about it? It's not good to be so frizzy. A man must learn to be calm and calm."

"Ah."

"Your mother said that if you carry a surrogate child, it can be regarded as a queen for the two families. I am very grateful to her." There was something bright in the cloudy eyes of the old man Ke, and he regained his calm after a while. Withered and skinny hands touched the top of Xiao Chenmo's head, "You are still a child, but I want you to take care of the child now, I have wronged you."

"No, it's okay. When the child is born next year, I'll bring him to visit you."

"Okay." Old man Ke said with a smile.
