Chapter 5 5. Baby exported to Seattle

In this world, anyone, anything, and anything has a price.Don't say that buying and selling people is illegal. From the moment a person is born, he has been linked to buying and selling.In ancient times, this was called poll tax, but in modern times, it is called social maintenance fee. Social support fees vary from person to person. For example, Wen Jiajia often pays several times more than others, commonly known as fines. There are two types of fines: Those who give birth before the legal age of marriage shall be charged 1.5 to 2.5 times; If one of the spouses gives birth to another person out of wedlock, the tax shall be doubled according to the standards stipulated in the first and second items.

Wen Jiajia thought about it for a while, and felt that she satisfied the first requirement, while the old type satisfied the second requirement, but she didn't know how the government would classify them, or should they add the two together? Since joining Lao Zhong, Wen Jiajia quit her job.Naturally, it is impossible for her and Lao Zhong to get married, so the child implanted in her womb can only be an illegitimate child. The above two points alone are enough to make Wen Jiajia worry about the issue of the quasi-birth certificate, not to mention the issue of the child's household registration after birth.

Of course, these problems can be solved with money and contacts. As the saying goes, there are policies and countermeasures. In other words, if there is money, there are countermeasures. Lao Zhong has money, so he naturally has countermeasures.But Wen Jiajia is still very worried. What she worries about is not how the child landed, but which land the child should land on. Is it Alaska?Or Vancouver?Or Baden-Baden? Applying for a visa to Alaska is the fastest and most convenient, as long as the local casino sends an invitation letter.However, it seems unreasonable to have a child born in a gambling city.

Vancouver is a well-known gathering place for Chinese, but unfortunately there are too many Chinese, and the exotic atmosphere is greatly reduced. As for Baden-Baden, Wen Jiajia has heard that it is a resort famous for its bathing, especially the open-air mixed nude baths there.However, this does not seem to have much to do with having children. Wen Jiajia stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling metal CD rack with a tangled expression, and quickly scanned the more than one hundred CDs of classic love movies from various countries: "Lost in Translation", "Chicago", "Roman Holiday", "The Philadelphia Story" ", "Midnight in Barcelona", "Gold Diggers in Paris", "One Page of Taipei", "Love in Las Vegas", "I Love You in New York"... "Sleepless in Seattle"... "Love in Budapest" , "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily"...

etc!Seattle? ! How could she have forgotten it?Her Dream city! Wen Jiajia couldn't wait to put the disc of "Sleepless in Seattle" into the DVD player, and the subtitles flashed on the large 16:9 screen soon. For the next hour or so, Wen Jiajia didn't care about anything else, she sat obediently on the sofa with a disheveled hair and a pillow in her arms, and devoted herself fully to the plot.Fortunately, the morning sickness came to an end for the time being, as if the little embryo that hadn't yet formed a baby also felt the mother's hormonal fluctuations, and calmed down for a while.

Speaking of "Sleepless in Seattle", Wen Jiajia's friends all know it, but not many have seen it, let alone the predecessor of this show. Anne, the heroine in "Sleepless in Seattle", is about to get married.She was very satisfied with her fiancé, but she didn't know that it was just "everyone wakes me up and I'm alone", and none of the relatives and friends around thought they were suitable, but it was hard to tell. Anne like this yearns for a love relationship at first sight, which people call love at first sight. But whatever the "first sight" thing, when Anne finally meets the guy, it's after she gets engaged.What's even more ironic is that they met not even in a face-to-face situation, but through a radio show.

The man's name was Sam, a widower with an eight-year-old son named Jonah. After his wife died, Sam and Jonah moved from Chicago to Seattle, looking for the footprints left by his late wife in this romantic city.For a long time, Sam couldn't sleep all night, imagining that his dead wife was by his side, but he didn't expect his son Jonah to know all his movements.Jonah couldn't see his father tortured himself, so he called the radio's emotional hotline on Christmas Eve to find a new wife for Sam.Although Sam couldn't help Jonah's weird behavior, he had to tell all the listeners about his experience through the radio, and unexpectedly won the love of the majority of women.

I heard that 2,000 women wanted to get in touch with Sam, including Anne. Annie said to herself that she only loves her fiancé, but at the same time couldn't help writing to Sam, and made an appointment to meet at the Empire State Building on Valentine's Day.Jonah had a good impression of Annie in the letter, and told his father Sam that he and Annie must have been destined lovers in previous lives, which is the karma in Chinese folklore.But Sam didn't care. Until Sam bumped into Anne in an unprepared accident.They hit it off, or they fell in love at first sight, and they agreed that the other person was the one they were looking for.

Since the heroine Annie’s favorite movie in this play is an old film "Jin Yu Meng" in 1957, during the hot show of "Sleepless in Seattle", the video of "Jin Yu Meng" sold 2 million copies indivual. Wen Jiajia does not fall behind. A few years ago, she also found a piece of "Jin Yumeng" to read. As a result, she cried, crying bitterly. She finally understood why the director said that "Sleepless in Seattle" was inspired by "Jinyumeng". Sleepless" dream come true ending. Even though lead actor Sam called it a twat movie, it still ranks as the fifth greatest American romance movie.

When the film progressed to two-thirds, the hero and heroine have not met each other, but only exchanged letters through air.But it is precisely because of this that the power of "like friends at first sight" and the true meaning of romantic love are highlighted. There is no woman who does not believe in true love. Although women always say: "I have seen through men, I have been crippled by love." But women who say this, once they encounter love again, they will still fall into it without hesitation.For example Wen Jiajia. "True love can overcome all small streams." This is why Wen Jiajia fell in love with "Sleepless in Seattle".

When Lao Zhong came to visit Wen Jiajia, Wen Jiajia was immersed in the atmosphere of being moved by true love, a little bit of self-pity, and a little bit of self-pity. Hey, Lao Zhong just can't figure out what's so good about these "girly movies". From the beginning to the end, he didn't remember any of the plots, except for the words of the leading actor Sam. But every time Lao Zhong said that, Wen Jiajia would stare blankly at him. That rolls my eyes... Technology!It is simply a unique skill!White is completely connotative, leaving no black edges at all. But Lao Zhong, besides being dumbfounded, actually thinks that this Wen Jiajia has a personality! "Okay, okay, don't cry, don't you think they are together in the end? Why are you still crying?" Lao Zhong coaxed and persuaded, and it took about ten minutes before Wen Jiajia finally calmed down. Old Zhong was thinking, it is true that a woman is emotionally unstable during pregnancy, she is a natural emotional animal, but if she gets pregnant again, the kitten will immediately turn into a tigress. When Lao Zhong was thinking this way, the video had already finished playing. Wen Jiajia sniffed and pointed, "I think the child will land in Seattle." Old Zhong suddenly felt like a bolt from the blue, how could a movie determine the nationality of the child? Looking at Wen Jiajia again, she walked into the bathroom as if she was fine. The door was closed with a "bang", there was no sound in the room, and the old clock's ears were buzzing. When Wen Jiajia came out of the bathroom, the slovenly appearance of ten minutes ago was no longer there, it looked like a freshly washed green onion, standing upright towards the door of the bathroom, tender and juicy, really My son is very likable. Old Zhong Lele said: "Okay, then Seattle, when we apply for a visa, we have to go out of the way, this matter must be treated with caution!" Wen Jiajia frowned, nodded slightly, and smiled like a hibiscus flower. Later, when Lao Zhong woke up and tried to question the fact that the child landed in Seattle, Wen Jiajia had already prepared to present a set of data: Seattle is home to Microsoft, Amazon, RealNetworks, Boeing, Starbucks, the University of Washington 41.16% of the area is water; 36% of the people graduated with a master's degree; it is very low in altitude, but surrounded by ancient glaciers and active volcanoes... The more Lao Zhong looked at it, the more he had a headache, and he asked a series of questions.These questions may have troubled Wen Jiajia more or less when she was collecting information, so Wen Jiajia was extra agile and quick when answering Lao Zhong's questions. "University of Washington? Why isn't the University of Washington in Washington?" "Oh, because Seattle belongs to Washington State." "Then why isn't it called Seattle University?" "Oh, because Seattle already has Seattle University, we can't let both schools be called Seattle University." Lao Zhong was stunned for a while, and felt that it was very reasonable to say so, so he didn't insist anymore. "Microsoft originated in Seattle, I know, Bill Gates lives there. But what does that have to do with us going there to have a baby?" Wen Jiajia tapped on the pages of information paper with her index finger and said: "These several items should be read together. You see, Seattle has Microsoft, Boeing, and Starbucks, and 36% of the population has a master's degree. This shows that here In this city, the chances of entering these large multinational companies are much higher, which also shows that the city’s education level is generally high. Moreover, as far as the United States is concerned, Seattle’s crime rate is very low, with a drop of 42%.” Lao Zhong suddenly discovered that Wen Jiajia is a sales talent with great potential. When she introduces a food item, a Hermès bag, a set of Cartier jewelry, or a city like this moment.She can cleverly dodge all the shortcomings of that place, then extend the advantages infinitely, use her associative power to the extreme and then brainwash you, making you feel that even if there are shortcomings, they can be transformed into advantages at any time. Lao Zhong is clearly aware that he is being assimilated by Wen Jiajia, but he also feels that he is happy with it. Although he has deep doubts about the city, he feels that as long as Wen Jiajia likes it, no matter how much money he spends, it is worth it. of. After all, money can't buy a good heart. As long as Wen Jiajia can be favored for ten months, this trip to Seattle will not be in vain. Old Zhong Zhi complacently thought that after ten months, his eldest son would travel across the ocean and return to China, giving him another source of bragging rights.Look, playing with women has produced the next generation. If you were someone else, you would be flustered, but if you were an old Zhong who had no children, it would be wrong! What do rich people fear most?I am most afraid that I will not be able to spend it myself, and there will be no next generation to help me spend it. Now that Qian and his son are both working, Lao Zhong feels that this is the pinnacle of his life.
