"The sky before dawn tends to be the darkest." —British historian, To. Fuller.

The clouds that shroud the tall and wide sky, the rock music that stimulates the heartbeat of the eardrums, the cigarette that burns on the tips of the fingers. All this is my dawn.

- Book IX, The Dawn of the Empire.

"Husband, husband, look, the little guy is smiling at me."

Xia Wanyu stood in front of the window with the child in her arms and said to me excitedly. Yesterday was the child's full moon wine, and the two of us only invited Wang Yingli and others and my parents who traveled thousands of miles from my hometown in Henan. At the full moon wine, Xia Wanyu toasted my parents for the first time as a daughter-in-law. And my parents were ashamed not to say anything, but I could see it. We have added another boy to our family, and my parents are very happy in their hearts.

However, my parents did not live in Shanghai permanently, I arrived the day before yesterday, and I drank full moon wine yesterday and left today. As soon as I returned home after sending my parents away, I heard Xia Wanyu say to me excitedly. I walked over and looked, and the little one's eyes were wide open, and it was very cute. In Zhang Ling's words, he must be like Xia Wanyu, and he must be a handsome guy when he grows up.

After giving birth to a child, Xia Wanyu is no longer sensitive, but is like a housewife. I didn't mention the things she said during the delivery, some of which we all knew. It wouldn't be interesting to mention it again. This month, Xia Wanyu has suffered. She is not a lazy woman, but the extreme weakness of her body after giving birth to a child and the children she needs to take care of make her an elderly mother extremely distressed. Luckily, I had experience in taking care of children, even though Ben Ben didn't come back to me until he was older.

But newborn children are not too noisy. He only knows how to sleep, and eats when he is hungry. The only thing that worries me is probably changing diapers, but it's all a small thing. At first, I came to change, and slowly Xia Wanyu learned it herself. Her own children are still her own relatives, and she used to think about disgusting things, but now she can do them easily.

After the baby was born, we went to the hospital to do a comprehensive examination for him and Xia Wanyu, and the results of the examination were naturally that both of them were very healthy. After vaccinating the baby in the hospital, we never went to the hospital again. Xia Wanyu was a little surprised, and said when she met people: "Ah! I gave birth and didn't go to the hospital. At home, I went to bed by myself, and the child came out. ”

When she said this, Zhang Ling and I both despised her.

The process is painful and tortuous, but the result is satisfying. After Xia Wanyu gave birth to a child, she was willing to tell me about everything, about work. She hands it directly over to the team management, and she rarely asks about it herself. Only when there are some big things that she needs to command remotely. It has been said that giving birth to a child is the second day of a woman's life. Looking at Xia Wanyu now, it's really.

Before giving birth, she insisted on watching BBC news and CCTV news broadcasts no matter what. But after giving birth, she stopped looking at those things. On the contrary, I sometimes like to watch children's channels, or some TV programs about parenting. She never watched Hunan Satellite TV's entertainment programs before, but after giving birth, she even watched Hunan Satellite TV's parent-child interactive program "Where Are You Going, Dad", and after watching it, she said: "Our summer must be cuter than Kimi." ”

I reluctantly teased myself: "Lin Zhiying is rich and handsome, and I am a dick." ”

Xia Wanyu glanced at me and said, "Rich and handsome, above vision, full of practice, handsome in doing things." Our son must be a rich and handsome man. ”

I looked at the angry Xia Wanyu and said, "Don't be sure, it must be." He has a mother like you, and it is difficult to think of being rich and handsome. ”

Xia Wanyu smiled charmingly, looked at me playfully and asked, "Then what about a father like you?" ”

I pondered for a while and said, "There are two extremes in education, one is poor and the other is rich. It doesn't matter if it's a poor child or a rich child. The most important thing for a boy is to have backbone, you can give him material, I can give him backbone. I don't ask him to be as sharp and ferocious as a wolf, and I don't ask him to hide needles in his pocket, but it's still good to be modest. ”

Xia Wanyu said in amazement: "Sure enough, people who have parenting experience are different. ”

I rolled my eyes and ignored her.

The child is the two of us, and he is still young, only in swaddling clothes. So this problem is not prominent, but I think that judging from Xia Wanyu's attitude when the two of us talk about this issue now, she must have her own set of education methods. Naturally, I won't interfere at that time, because Xia Wanyu is better than me. Wang Yingli is the most willing person to be a godmother, Ben Ben was Wang Yingli's godson after she was born, and after Hao Xia was born, she also became Wang Yingli's godson.

For this reason, this arrogant godmother gave Xiao Xia a house worth tens of millions in Shanghai. Located in Xuhui District, high-rise luxury community. At that time, I was a little embarrassed, his father and I were still thinking about eating rice noodles with big bowls and small bowls when I was 20 years old, and this kid was born to have a suite in Shanghai. Sure enough, the son of the local tyrant family is always so awesome.

Of course, this local tyrant is not me, but his mother and godmother.

However, judging from Wang Yingli's love for summer, she seems to have reached the age when she should have children. In fact, this is also the age at which she can have a child in the last place. Later, if menopause or amenorrhea. I'm afraid it's hard to fulfill my mother's dream once in my life, but it's not so simple to have a child. If you casually find a man on the street to borrow a seed to have a child, it is irresponsible to yourself and your child.

Although Wang Yingli raised a child, it was obvious that she didn't want to do it either. I later heard Zhang Ling say that Wang Yingli talked to Xia Wanyu once, and wanted me to give her some seeds so that she could have a baby. When I heard the news, I was shocked. But then I think about it, and I understand that this kind of thing is basically impossible. Having a child is not so simple, the most important thing is to have feelings.

Otherwise, a lonely child is with him, how lonely is that?

When I think of this, I think of Sun Xiaoqing. Isn't she alone now with only Ben Ben? Since the old fox died, so much time has passed, and I have been thinking about her in my heart, but I dare not think about it. Because of Xia Wanyu, because of what Xia Wanyu said during childbirth. Men, you have to have a face, people like Chen Shimei will be spurned by others.

When I thought of Sun Xiaoqing, I thought of Sun Guanyin and Lao Sun Tou again. When the old man was seven, I went to visit the old man's grave once. I thought to myself that the old man and my family were also destined for the summer, the old man died in the early morning of December 10th, and my family was born at 4 o'clock in the morning of December 12th. Life and death, in fact, if you think about it, that's what it is.

Sun Guanyin gave me 60 million to solve my urgent need. I gave the 60 million to Ma Xiaodan and Yang Yang, two sisters, who have been raising funds for more than half a year. I still couldn't find the money, and I finally got the start-up capital from me. When I handed over the money to Yang Yang, Yang Yang told me about their plans, but Ma Xiaodan, who came to me to ask for money, stood aside and did not speak. I stopped Yang Yang from giving further speeches, but said to her: "Don't tell me planning, I'm just investing, I believe you can make money." ”

Yang Yang smiled excitedly.

Ma Xiaodan said to me silently: "Xie Luxie." ”

I was a little stunned, but I didn't say anything. In fact, I really don't know what to do now, Qingyu has Chen Xiaoyan's funding, and it really has great ambitions. Personally, I was listed as a key prevention and control target by Chen Xiaoyan. She didn't want to work with me, saying I was too shrewd. And I didn't want to work for her, so I was so excited after Qingyu's Jinyan Real Estate got the land. Thinking about it, I was able to use Sun Guanyin's 60 million to help Ma Xiaodan, in fact, I was quite happy in my heart.

Because at least I know what to do and what to care about. In these years, if you want to do something, you have to rely on money. After my money was in place, Yang Yang and Ma Xiaodan were not in a hurry to go to other provinces to expand their territory. Instead, it opened a Mama-flavored soup dumpling food city on Nanjing West Road, the most prosperous area in Shanghai, with a total investment of 12 million. And this store has also received 20% investment from a small investor, so I didn't use much of the 60 million, and I can open stores in other provinces.

This shop on Nanjing West Road is a legendary store of Mama's flavor and is used as a model store. Since its opening, business has been booming, and tourists who come to Shanghai have a taste of the delicious soup dumplings with the taste of mother. And Mamawei opened a 24-hour home delivery service in Lincheng. As long as you order food through online and telephone channels, pay to Alipay. Freshly baked soup dumplings can be delivered in the same city, while soup dumplings that need to be heated in the microwave can be delivered in other places. Although it is left for a long time, it is guaranteed to be delicious and has the same texture as the first time.

On New Year's Eve, the profits of this Mama-flavored legendary store were counted in the twenty days after it opened. This soup dumpling shop made a total profit on New Year's Eve, 1.2 million. In other words, this store can pay back in ten months. Then 1.2 million came in every month. However, Yang Yang did not stop there, they carried out media packaging on the mother's flavor, and increased the popularity of their brand through various channels, thus forming a kind of circle that dogs ignore the range. To know the way, when it comes to buns, it belongs to Goubuli and Din Tai Fung. In the future, Yang Yang wants to add one more of these two brands, which is called Mama Flavor.

As the largest shareholder of Mamawei, I don't really have much to do. Things are all done by Yang Yang and Ma Xiaodan, and I just hug my son at home every day to learn about the market in the food industry. By the way, observe some of the situations in some cities. On the eve of the New Year, there is also a big event, that is, the first phase of Sanniu Real Estate will be completed in May next year.

Sanniu Real Estate!

It's so far away.

……

On this day, a Boeing plane flying directly from Los Angeles to Shanghai landed at Pudong Airport, and a person who had disappeared for nearly a year made a comeback again. Although he took a plane for more than ten hours, this person who only needed to sleep for three hours a day was still full of energy.

In front of the airport terminal, a car with civilian license plates was parked, and the man was seen coming out.

Shen Guoqiang got out of the car, stepped forward and took the man's hand affectionately and said, "Beifeng, welcome back." ”
