The next morning, Li Zhishun asked for leave to go to the Population and Family Planning Bureau. The clerk who received him was a stout man. Mr. Fang, he is fat and short but amiable. After listening to the protest, Mr. Fang carefully read his file records and smiled: "Mr. Li, I didn't mean you." You are really stubborn. Is this really the times? " Aren't all boys and girls the same? "My wife said the same thing, but I will never compromise. Since there is only one child in each family, if it is not a boy, I am ... really sorry! " It's still an old problem in China. "Mr. Fang touched his meaty chin." If everyone is like you, wouldn't our next generation be men? The ratio stipulated by the government is 538 males and 462 females per 1000 newborn babies, and the applicants will be determined by drawing lots according to this ratio. If unfortunately you can't draw lots, and you insist on a certain sex, you have to draw lots again. That's your situation. "
"But I've been waiting for ten years, and I still can't get it! The probability of not smoking ten times on one side is only one in a thousand. Next year, it should be one in two thousand ... "
"You can't do that." Mr. Fang smiled and said, "In fact, every draw is an independent event. Therefore, the chances that you won't get a boy next year are still half. I must warn you that you may never win the boy. " In despair, Li Zhishun leaned back and said, "Don't you have any remedy? Poor man, we have been waiting for ten years! If I don't get it next year, my wife will definitely divorce me ... ""I know nothing about your pain. " Mr. Fang's eyes are full of sympathy. "To tell the truth, my brother is also taking this difficult road, hoping to succeed. I have an idea. In order to control the population, according to the regulations, each family can only have one child at present. Now the population of our country is 35 million. The current policy is to reduce the total population to about 25 million after 100. At that time, the population policy will be adjusted again, and each family may have two children, a man and a woman ... "If only I were born in a hundred years" Yes, but even today, according to accurate estimates, every family can have one or two children. However, the remaining 0.2 children cannot be allocated to every family, so they are handled by the Population and Family Planning Bureau and allocated separately at the end of each year. "You mean, you still have the remaining places every year. Li Zhishun seemed to be a drowning man who suddenly found a front-line host, holding Mr. Fang's fat hand tightly. Mr. Fang was a little embarrassed and said, "Don't get too excited. There is a price to pay for this extra quota! We can increase the number of places in your family to two. From now on, your income tax rate is 5% higher than others; And ... "If I get extra places, can I choose to have boys?
"Rich. Yes, sir, boys, reborn girls, or yes, sir, girls. Order is irrelevant, I can't have two men or two women ... "That's enough! Enough! Li Zhishun was very excited. "No matter how much it costs, I am willing to pay. Mr. Fang took the opportunity to withdraw his hand and took out a piece of paper. "Then, please sign and stamp here. Congratulations, Mr. Li. Congratulations on your success. Wen Xiang complained that the boy's price was too high, but Li Zhishun was very satisfied. His long-cherished wish has come true, with no regrets. A son and a daughter, is there a better family in the world? Fu Ran, he decided to have a boy and a girl next time. After getting the birth permit from the Population and Family Planning Bureau, Li Zhishun immediately took Wen Xiang to the most prestigious hospital near their residence to go through the formalities. Everything went smoothly. They immediately got the production certificate and went to the obstetrics and gynecology department to see Dr. Wu, a tall, burly, stable and reliable middle-aged man, smoking a pipe and slowly explaining the details of the production process to them. "Tomorrow you will come here for a general examination. If the test results are good and there are no infectious diseases, you can proceed to the next step. Mr. Li, we will draw enough semen. Mrs. Li, we will take out about half a dozen eggs with an empty straw. Then we will choose the healthiest male sperm and eggs to fertilize in vitro, and then implant the fertilized eggs into the ovaries of obstetrical nurses. We'll let you know when we produce. At that time, you should prepare all the application items and come to the hospital to pick up the newborn. The production process is so simple. Li Zhishun listened with rapt attention and nodded. Wen Xiang frowned and said, "Dr. Wu, can't I have my own children?" "Born of their own? "It seems that Dr. Wu suddenly found a poisonous snake." Born by himself? Mrs. Li, no one has children of their own now. They are entrusted to obstetric nurses. " "But I want to be born. This ... seems more intimate and more like your own child. " "Entrusted obstetric nurses, and your children. It is the combination of your essence and blood. How could it not be your child? Obstetric nurses are all young women who have undergone strict selection and training. Perfect for helping you create the next generation. Mrs. Li, even if you want to have your own baby, the egg will go through the process of IVF. If you catch a cold during pregnancy, if you didn't take good medicine or take drugs during pregnancy, if your husband or yourself was unfortunately infected with some hidden diseases in the past, the children born may have problems. None of these problems will happen if the obstetric nurse gives birth to a child. Moreover, you also avoid the inconvenience of pregnancy and the pain of childbirth. If you have children of your own. Rest for at least two or three months. If the obstetric nurse is in charge, you don't have to take a day off. Without the maternity leave system, no one has to have children by themselves. If you want to have children by yourself, all kinds of expenses, plus the salary lost by taking time off, are generally higher than those of obstetric nurses. "Dr. Wu, I'm not thinking about the cost." Wen Xiang still has doubts. "We finally gave birth to this boy, of course, I hope he can get healthy again. Smart ... "Don't worry, Mrs. Li. It is precisely because boys are hard to get, so I think you should be extremely cautious. Being delivered by an obstetric nurse is equivalent to asking the best nanny to take care of the children. She will give the best care to the fetus, and her diet and daily life are under the supervision of the hospital. It's better for you to have it yourself. Dr Wu's words deeply touched Li Zhishun. He said to Wen Xiang, who still had doubts, "Wen Xiang, Dr. Wu is right. Since we are boys, we should be cautious in everything. It doesn't matter to spend more money. Moreover, I don't want you to suffer from childbirth because of pregnancy and ruin your slim figure. " That's good. "Said," Dr. Wu, can we meet the surrogate nurse first? "I must find out what kind of wet nurse Chu Chao gave birth to." No problem. "Dr. Wu opened the exhibition and took out a document." There are 800 obstetric nurses in our hospital who take turns to serve customers. But I didn't know whose turn it was to be on duty until you decided when to start. Before Wen Xiang could answer, Li Zhishun said, "The sooner the better, the sooner the better." The sooner the better? The day after tomorrow at the earliest. The day after tomorrow ... the day after tomorrow, five nurses are free. Let's see ... Miss Kim. Miss Jin is a student of art school, majoring in piano. She is a lovely girl. She is on duty in the hospital today. Do you want to see her? "Li Zhishun and Xiang Wentian agreed to Dr. Wu's arrangement after a brief discussion. Miss Kim will come later. She is really a lovely girl with a ponytail and looks less than twenty years old. Wen Xiang and Miss Jin hit it off and had a very speculative talk. Knowing that Wen Xiang has always been fascinated by music, Li Zhishun put down a big stone in his heart. It seems that his wife finally approved this pass. After Miss Jin left, Dr. Wu closed another book and said, "Good. Let Miss Jin serve you. There are still some details to be discussed. During pregnancy, you need a first class. Coach class. Third class? " Li Zhishun hesitated for a moment, then realized it. Yes, Miss Kim must be hospitalized during her pregnancy. He quickly asked, "What's the price?" "First-class room one day in 500 yuan, second-class room in 300 yuan, third-class room in 200 yuan. "The price difference is so much? Of course, the cheaper the better. " Li Zhishun said, "Let's live in the third class." Wen Xiang stared his one eye. "It's a shame to let Miss Jin live in a third-class room." "Madam, if you are in the hospital, of course, live in first class. Since you are not in the hospital, we will be wronged by Miss Jin. After listening to their conversation, Dr. Wu smiled on his face. Mr. Li and Mrs. Li, you misunderstood. I don't mean the ward where Miss Kim lives. She can live in the dormitory prepared by the hospital for obstetric nurses, and all nurses are treated the same. I mean your child, who wants to live in first class. Coach class. Or a third-class room? "Our children?" Li Zhishun said in surprise, "He ... He hasn't been born yet. Of course, he lives in ... Miss Kim's belly. What kind of ward does he want to live in? " Not a ward. "Dr. Wu patiently explained:" I probably didn't make it clear. Mr. Li, in that era when there was no IVF technology, some people were pregnant with singletons, others with twins or even triplets. Quadruplets ... are beyond human control. Now, we can completely control it, and suddenly we put some fertilized eggs in the ovary. If the more eggs are implanted, the more children an obstetrical nurse can have at one time, and of course, the lower the production cost of each child. So, when I say first-class room, I mean the situation that your child's embryo monopolizes the ovary. Second class room? Your child's embryo must share an ovary with someone else's embryo. If it is a third-class room ... "It means that the fetuses of three families are crowded together. God ... Li Zhishun said, "You still have a fourth-class cabin, but do you still have a fifth-class cabin? "Not yet." Dr. Wu honestly replied: "The Health Bureau has not approved it yet. If approved by the Health Bureau, it is possible to open fourth-class rooms and fifth-class rooms in the future. Of course, the main key issue is that all children living together must be born healthily. According to our research, even if you open a sixth-class room, there is no big problem. " "Sixth class Li Zhishun shuddered, glanced at Wen Xiang and said firmly; My son must get the best treatment. I choose first class. ""all right. "Dr. Wu took notes in the book." Another question? Stay for a few months? "What a few months?" Li Zhishun said angrily, "Pregnancy in October has existed since ancient times. Of course, it's been ten months. Is there any other mode here? " "Miss Li, medical technology is advancing by leaps and bounds, and there is no problem for children to produce in advance. It's not called premature delivery. You have to understand that the concept of premature delivery is out of date! The child just moved from the natural environment of the obstetric nurse's mother to the artificial environment of the hospital incubator. Of course, the shorter the hospitalization time, the sooner the obstetric nurse can serve others, and the lower the production cost ... ""There is no need to sell. " Li Zhishun said, "Please tell me how many different options there are. Needless to say, Dr. Wu is not angry. He smiled and said, "There are nine kinds of * * *: first-class June, first-class July, first-class August, first-class September; Second-class July, second-class August, second-class September; August third, September third, etc. Mr. Li, there's no harm in staying in first class for a while. If it is a second-class room, you must stay longer. The third-class room is the most crowded, so it takes the longest time for the embryo to grow big enough to leave the mother. However, after careful calculation, it is the most cost-effective to live in August. " "I don't care about the loud voice of money:" My son is not half a ticket, he can't discount it. I want to wait until September, when they leave the hospital, to make a special trip to the delivery room. Li Zhishun and Wen Xiang happened to see the door of the third-class August ward slamming, and the nurse was carrying a tray with three babies, pink babies, as small as delicate toys. Li Zhishun looks silly. "If this is a sixth-class August, it's more like a nest of small ..." Stop it. " Wen Xiang took Li Zhishun's sleeve and whispered, "Let's go. Fortunately, we chose a first-class September room. "In the next few days! They are often disturbed by salesmen. The first one is the salesman of Dragon Seed Company. One day, when Li Zhishun came home, he found a big man sitting on the sofa, with a square black box on his knee, playing the French snail to Wen Xiang sitting there. Wen Xiang breathed a sigh of relief when he came back. He stood up and said, "Shunzhi, you came back at the right time." Please talk to Mr. Gao. I'm going to cook. When Mr Shang Gao saw Li Zhishun, he was full of energy and opened his suitcase with a bang. "Mr. Li, your wife and I have talked for a long time. She is not easy to accept many new ideas. You are a man who does great things. If you are well informed, you will definitely understand how important it is to train excellent next generation. " "What are you selling?" "I heard that you will have a boy soon. How exciting it is for you! I think your initial idea must be to create your own offspring with your own blood. This is a very natural idea. But have you ever considered whether this can cultivate the best offspring? " "What do you mean?" "With all due respect, Miss Li, your score in the entrance examination is 460, and Miss Li is 425, which ..." Mr. Gao grimaced and said, "Neither is ideal. So ... (explain or correct what I just said) I mean ... one day, your children will also take the joint exam. If he can only get more than 400 points in the exam, will it affect his future? Mr. Li, please don't get me wrong. I'm not saying you have no future. But don't you want your son to shine on you and have a brighter future? " "Cut the crap, what medicine are you selling in the gourd?" "This is not medicine, Mr. Li. Is something more effective. Please see Mr. Gao put the open suitcase on the small coffee table. There are several rows of test tubes in it, which are divided into "male" and "female" parts, and the test tubes are all labeled. " Mr. Li, instead of using your sperm and Li Taida's eggs, why not choose a better variety? ..... I hope my son becomes a national chess player! Look, this kid has the essence of a great national team player. Do you want your son to be a cartoonist? See, making children is the essence of a great cartoonist. More, more. A physicist. Inventor. Entrepreneurs. Novelists, poets ... you can choose, everything. Mr. Gao noticed that Li Zhishun's face changed greatly and said quickly, "Mr. Li, please don't be angry. We are discussing this matter." . In fact, you can't bear to change your nature. Let's exchange your wife's eggs. The effect is similar. Look, movie star. Singer. Poetess. Female writer ... ""Bastard! Get out of here. " Li Zhishun trembled with anger. Mr. Gao quickly closed the suitcase and waved his hand and said, "Don't be angry, don't be angry. I will come again next time. "Maybe when you have a daughter, I can take Bai, Cui and Feng with me ..." The next day, Li Zhishun came home and found a slim woman sitting on the sofa with a square black box on her lap. Li Zhishun said firmly to the woman without hesitation, "Miss, please don't waste your breath. Even if there are Einstein, Li Bai and Du Fu in your box, I won't be moved. "Wen Xiang stopped him." Shun, Miss Song is not here to sell sperm and eggs. Listen to her. "Mr. Li." Miss Song handed Li Zhishun a plastic business card. "I am the business representative of Chuangji Company. Our company is different from other companies. We don't sell copies of the ancients. You should also know that those companies are actually agents of foreign companies, and that kind of products are not suitable for the national conditions. We in China never like getting married. Our nation is conservative and attaches great importance to the concept of carrying on the family line. Otherwise ... Hee hee, it won't be so troublesome to have a boy. However, creating the next generation with our own Xue Jing doesn't mean that we can't improve the varieties of the next generation. There are many ways. Miss Li took out a thick catalogue from the box and handed it to Li Zhishun for manufacturing, which is our company's service project. Our main business is to improve gene communication and make your next generation stronger and more beautiful. Everything is a very simple operation, as long as the structure of the DNA double stud is slightly adjusted ... "Li Zhishun browsed the catalogue of Chuangji Company, and the more he saw it, the more interested he became." Double eyelids are 50,000 yuan ... every centimeter of height is fined 1 10,000 yuan ... every minute of entrance examination results is rewarded 10000 yuan ... big eyes110,000 yuan ... Do you really have such amazing skills? ""Of course, we can give you a guarantee. If not, pay back all the money at once. "Li Zhishun and Wen Xiang discussed for a long time, and decided to choose height 180 cm, 600 points for the senior high school entrance examination, and three items for Bai Zhe's skin, totaling 200,000. Miss Song explained that the advance payment was100000, and the rest was paid in five installments. Li Zhi stamped the contract on the spot this year. It is not easy to raise a son. "Lying in bed at night, Li Zhishun said to Wen Xiang beside him," I figured that before my son was born, I spent 30,000 yuan, and more than half of my savings went in. How much does it cost to have a son? " "All of you, you must have a son. "Wen Xiang complained, stroking Li Zhishun's smooth chest with one hand." If it is a daughter, are you willing to spend so much money? " "This has to be spent, for the sake of children's lifelong happiness, this little money ..." Li Zhishun suddenly turned over and rode on Wen Xiang. Wen Xiang only struggled symbolically, and he entered her body. "Have to spend. Once upon a time, having a baby was so easy, so ... it was natural ... "He gasped," It's really tiring to have a son now ... "Wen Xiang said nothing, but he obeyed him. Miss Jin is pregnant soon and often takes her to see her. Miss Jin is more beautiful after she is pregnant. Sometimes Li Zhishun can't help thinking that if Wen Xiang is pregnant, she might be just as beautiful. But he immediately dismissed the idea. He can't be so selfish They must consider their son's future. Miss Jin is a fourth-grade student in an art school. She goes to learn piano in the morning and sings, listens to songs and reads books in the hospital dormitory in the afternoon. Such prenatal education is naturally first-class. Miss Jin is very talkative. She told her story when they visited her. It turns out that she is also a test-tube baby. The hospital system was quite chaotic at that time. Once, somehow, the test tube was mistaken and it was found too late. Of course, I made a baby for my client afterwards. Miss Jin, who was born by mistake, became a veritable orphan. She/kloc-became an obstetric nurse at the age of 0/7. Fortunately, she is naturally philosophical and can be happy about anything. She can graduate on her own. She plans to be a music teacher in a middle school after graduation. "This is my seventh generation product. "Miss Jin said with a smile," One more time, and I will retire. " "You are only 22 years old now. "Wen Xiang is very sympathetic to Miss Kim." You have given birth to six children, probably quite a few? " "Only eighteen years old. Four years 18. " "Eighteen years old? "Li Zhishun was taken aback." How is it possible to be eighteen ... Oh, it's all third-class August rooms? ""Yes, I've been in third-class room service. This is the first time to travel first class. "The more they sympathize with Miss Kim, the more often they visit her. The fetus is getting bigger and bigger. Miss Jin asked them to feel the baby in their bellies. Li Zhishun can feel the baby moving. Wen Xiang was as excited as he was, but when she came home, she was very depressed. " Your own child, but in someone else's belly. How I wish I could feel the child kicking my stomach, and how good that feeling would be. "Don't be sad." Li Zhishun always comforted her like this. "Everything is for my son's future. Everyone must sacrifice a little. " They kept buying clothes and electrical appliances for the children, and even bought a small bed and put it in Li Zhishun's study. Now it's a children's room. Everything is ready. /kloc-One night in October, they finally got a call from Dr. Wu. "Congratulations." Dr. Wu's calm voice came from the other end of the phone. "It's a boy. Congratulations on your success. They were ecstatic, kissing each other and wishing each other father and mother. Then they hurried to the hospital with a stroller. Miss Jin is lying in bed, looking rather pale. Seeing them coming, she forced out a smile. Congratulations! It is a boy. There's the baby. "There is a small bed next to the big bed, and the child is crying. Li Zhishun and Wen Xiang looked around. Li Zhishun's heart is full of love. After all, he has become a father. But look at it. His face has changed. Why is this child nothing like him? It's not like Wen Xiang. Triangle eyes, garlic nose, pie face, black, fat and ugly. Although the newborn baby is ugly, it is not so ugly. " What's the matter? Is there a mistake? "Li Zhi along the hurry, cantonese came out. Miss Jin shook her head, looked tired and closed her eyes. " I don't know. I'm only responsible for giving birth. I don't know anything else. In a hurry, I ran out of the ward and happened to see Dr. Wu coming. He grabbed Dr. Wu's white doctor's suit and said, "Dr. Wu, what's the matter?" Why is my son so ugly? "Are you mistaken?" This has nothing to do with us. "Dr. Wu pushed Li Zhishun's hand away in disgust." Didn't you ask the founding company to change the genetics of your sperm? You should question them. "Li Zhishun full of anger, no matter it was late at night, immediately went to the public phone to call Miss Song of Chuangji Company. The phone rang for a long time before Miss Song's sleepy voice came. "You did it all. Li Zhishun shouted on the phone. "You are so incompetent, beat my son into what touch kind? You have to take full responsibility. " It's not our fault. ""it's not your fault. Whose fault is it? Don't forget that I have a guarantee from your company, doesn't it count? I must sue you. " "Mr. Li, please don't be too impulsive. Did you notice the small words after the last paragraph on the last page of the guarantee? Please read that paragraph before you decide whether to sue us. Before Li Zhishun could say anything more, Miss Song hung up the phone. He had no choice but to go back to the ward and stare at the new ugly doll with tearful eyes. Three hours later, when they got home, he took out the letter of guarantee from Chuangji Company, turned to the last page, and labored like a bright ant to read the small notes before he realized what was going on. "Mr. Li, please sit down. I knew you would definitely come back. " Mr Fang, a strong and gentle man, smiled at Li Zhishun, but Li Zhishun was not amused. "Party, you hurt us. Why didn't you make it clear earlier? " "I was going to explain these details that day, but you were too impatient. I thought, why spoil your fun? Besides, everything depends on probability. Unfortunately, your luck is really bad. Li Zhishun stared at Mr. Fang's gentle fat face, trying to punch him. I was unlucky? Why didn't you tell me that the Population and Family Planning Bureau has the right to change the genetic genes? You cost me a lot of money. Please ask Chuangji Company to improve my son's genetic inheritance. And the result? To make matters worse, why didn't you tell me that you were secretly changing my son's genes? " "This is not a secret change, Mr. Li. Please don't talk nonsense "Mr. Fang's expression is very serious." The Population and Family Planning Bureau has the right to change the genetics of any newborn baby, which is our duty. Our task is, firstly, to control the increase or decrease of the total population of metropolis, and secondly, to improve the quality of population. We didn't actively change our genes before. But industries like Chuangji Company are becoming more and more developed, and every family wants the next generation to become smarter and more beautiful. From a selfish point of view, this is not wrong. But from the perspective of the whole society, this will cause serious problems. Imagine that people in Jia Guodu are smart and not stupid, and they are beautiful and not ugly. Aren't there more arguments and more problems? Du Hui scholars have studied that a society cannot have only one kind of people, but must have an appropriate proportion of talents and fools. "In order to prevent all people from becoming too smart and beautiful. After careful calculation, we found that at least 10% of stupid and ugly people should be created. Therefore, in the annual surplus population quota, we choose half of them and slightly change their genes to make them uglier than benzene. This was also decided by lot. I was thinking that day, maybe your luck is not so bad. Unfortunately, your son just won the lottery. No matter how hard Chuangji Company tries, it can't satisfy our final revision. You know, we have the final right to modify it. " Li Zhishun was speechless with anger. Mr. Fang continued: "You don't have to be too sad. Your son will be fine, too Look at me, to be honest, I also belong to the ugly and stupid category of IVF. I'm having a hard time, aren't I? In the future, when your son grows up, we welcome him to work in the Population and Family Planning Bureau. "
Mr. Fang sighed and said, "Didn't I tell you that day? To get this extra population quota, there is a price to pay. " Li Zhishun heard Mr. Fang's last sentence, which was short and short, and he couldn't bear it any longer. He finally burst into tears.
Now, Wang Zicheng said: I hope my children have a bright future and give them great hope!
