Chapter 507 No matter how busy you are, you must accompany your children
On Saturday, April 22, Zhou Jing went to BJ with his mother-in-law. Gu Jia drove to the airport to pick them up. When they saw Gu Jia at the airport, Gu's mother said with a smile on her face, "Jia Jia, how have you been doing recently?"
"There's enough porridge to eat now, and there's nothing left. Are you used to flying, Mom?"
Gu Jia handed the car keys to Zhou Jing and said while taking Gu's mother's arm.
"I'm used to it. Is Zhou Zhou sleeping now?"
Mother Gu said with a chuckle.
"She was awake when I left, and now she's awake most of the day. As long as she's not hungry, she'll play by herself and doesn't cry much."
Gu Jia opened the car door and sat in the back with Gu's mother.
Zhou Jing put his luggage in the trunk, got in the car and started. He looked in the rearview mirror and said, "I wonder what a two or three-month-old child is thinking when he is not sleeping and is in a daze alone."
"I'm also curious. Some people say online that people carry memories of their past lives for the first few months after birth, but they forget them in the sixth month. Isn't there a saying that a daughter is her father's little lover in the previous life? Zhou Zhou is always happy when she sees you. Does she remember you now?"
Gu Jia said with a smile.
"I was single in my previous life."
Zhou Jing smiled and thought in his mind whether he had a lover in his previous life. He had had many girlfriends in his previous life, but there was no unforgettable relationship worthy of being bound in the next life. The one he remembered most clearly in his previous life was his first love, Chen Jiaqian. There were some beautiful relationships later, but every relationship was beautiful during the honeymoon period, and it would all be a mess after the honeymoon period.
Zhou Jing understood why Sicong changed girlfriends so frequently. The faster he changed girlfriends, the more he was in love.
Gu Jia smiled and said, "Why don't you say that you were a monk in your previous life."
"What should I pay attention to when taking care of Zhou Zhou now?"
Mother Gu was afraid that she wouldn't be able to take good care of her grandson.
"Just watch her. If she's hungry, feed her some milk powder while I'm not around. Zhou Zhou is quite strong now, so hold her and move her around. Try not to hold her on the ground, but hold her on the bed."
Gu Jia was very worried when other people held Zhou Zhou, afraid that they would accidentally drop the child. The child likes to move but is still very fragile. Gu Jia usually tries not to stand on the ground to hold the child, and instead sits on the bed or sofa when holding the child.
Mother Gu took note of it patiently. Coaxing a child is a meticulous job.
"Thank you for your hard work along the way, big sister."
When we got home, Wu Suqin welcomed us warmly.
"You've been working the hardest during this period."
Gu's mother was also very enthusiastic, and the in-laws inevitably exchanged pleasantries when they met.
Zhou Jing put down his things and went to the bathroom to wash his hands. Then he went to the bedroom to see the child. The child was not asleep and was lying on the bed. Hearing the voice of someone coming, the child raised his head and saw a familiar face. Hearing "ah ah oh" and grasping with his little hands.
"You miss daddy, don't you?"
Zhou Jing picked up the little girl and kissed her delicate face.
"like!"
The child opened his mouth wide and kissed Zhou Jing on the face. The little guy was getting stronger and stronger, and seemed to want to show off. Every sound he made was pronounced with four tones, such as ah, oh, ya, and he recently learned the pronunciation of "love".
"Mommy wants a kiss too."
Gu Jia bent down and put her face close to the child's mouth.
"Let mommy kiss my feet."
Zhou Jing put the child's feet close to Gu Jia's mouth.
"Whose stinky feet are these?"
Gu Jia opened her mouth and bit it lightly, then sniffed it, which made the child laugh non-stop.
Zhou Jing brought the child to Gu's mother and said, "Do you still remember your grandma? Give her a kiss."
"Come here, grandma, give me a kiss." Looking at her juicy grandson, Gu's mother smiled widely. She carefully picked up the child and sat him on the sofa and gave him a kiss. "Our child is so well behaved."
"Mom and Dad often sing Rock, Rock to Grandma's Bridge to you. Are you happy to see Grandma?"
Gu Jia held the child's hand and shook it and said.
“Oh.”
The child looked at his mother-in-law in front of him and pinched her hands.
Zhou Jing and Gu's mother hadn't eaten yet. When the meal was ready, they went to eat. Gu Jia sat next to Zhou Jing holding the child and said, "Look how delicious Daddy's meal is. Do you want some Zhou Zhou?"
"Have a piece of meat."
Zhou Jing picked up a piece of beef and handed it to the child. When the child opened his mouth, Zhou Jing fed the meat to Gu Jia.
The little girl immediately became unhappy and was about to cry.
"Zhou Zhou, don't cry. You can't eat this now."
Gu Jia was helpless. She held the child in one hand, untied her bra with the other hand, and lifted up one side of her clothes to feed the child.
"Zhou Zhou is in great health."
Mother Gu held the child's feet and rubbed them.
"Our Zhou Zhou is a grateful child."
Gu Jia looked at her daughter and said.
After eating and drinking, the child moved his head away from Gu Jia's arms, looked at the adults and stuck out his tongue.
"Open your mouth, Dad, let me see if you have any teeth?"
Zhou Jing opened his mouth as a demonstration.
"what."
The little girl opened her mouth obediently.
"so smart."
Mother Gu watched her grandson so much that he didn't even have time to eat.
Wu Suqin was very emotional. She had thought that when her mother-in-law came, she could have some free time to go back to her hometown to rest, but seeing that her granddaughter was almost three months old since she was born, she was reluctant to part with her.
After dinner, Zhou Jing took the child to the bedroom, lay on the bed and put the child on her stomach.
"It's time for a nap. Let's go to sleep with dad."
Gu Jia patted her daughter's butt and covered the child with a pillowcase.
"Let's see whether Dad falls asleep first or Zhou Zhou falls asleep first."
Zhou Jing supported the child's body and pretended to sleep.
The child now sleeps during the day mainly during lunch break and in the evening. When it is time for a nap at noon, and Zhou Jing's belly is like a cradle, the child falls asleep quickly while lying on Zhou Jing's belly.
Zhou Jing was not in a hurry to put the child down, but let the child sleep comfortably on his belly.
"Put it down if you fall asleep. Aren't you tired of holding it down?"
Gu Jia opened her phone and took a photo of the warm father and daughter, then gently took the child off Zhou Jing and placed him in the crib.
"Tired but happy, have you bought the baby's milk powder?"
Zhou Jing said while hugging Gu Jia.
A can of milk powder was bought before the child was born. Gu Jia had enough breast milk, so she seldom fed the child with milk powder. She was worried that the milk powder would be bad for the child if it was left for too long, so the children usually drank it together with the adults. A can of milk powder was almost finished after more than two months.
"No, I went out to buy some in the afternoon. I drank more than Zhou Zhou." Gu Jia looked at the boy's cheek and said with a smile: "You are getting more and more handsome."
"Really? Have I changed a lot?"
Zhou Jing touched his cheek and said.
"I've become much more mature after becoming a father. It's true that I heard that men only grow up after they become fathers."
Gu Jia recalled that two years ago, Zhou Jing was still a somewhat naive college student, but now he has become a qualified father who understands the well-being of his children.
"He's in the prime of his life!" Zhou Jing was also filled with emotion. He never dreamed that he would become a dad so soon after his rebirth. He was at the age when he could have fun, but now he is a father and can't do whatever he wants. Zhou Jing originally wanted to meet internet celebrities and stars to enrich his life, but this wish was completely shattered.
"Ah." Gu Jia sighed, read a piece of news on her phone and said, "The Olympics will be held in two months. Time flies. I still remember the 08 Beijing Olympics. The thing that impressed me most was that Liu Xiang participated in the competition with an injury. It was so admirable. At that time, I often heard students say that Liu Xiang was the fastest man in China and Yao Ming was the tallest man in China."
"Liu Xiang is truly a miracle. His record is hard to break, not to mention the yellow race, even black people who are good at track and field are hard to break."
Zhou Jing also had a deep impression of 2008. Not only did the BJ Olympics happen, but there was also the 512 earthquake. Zhou Jing was in the university dormitory when the earthquake occurred. The building was shaking noticeably. Zhou Jing took his roommate's coat and ran with his bare chest, calling Chen Jiaqian as he ran. It was his first direct experience of an earthquake and it was so scary that he couldn't sleep that night because he was worried about aftershocks.
"You like basketball so much, haven't you played it for a long time?"
Gu Jia stroked Zhou Jing's cheek and said.
“No one plays with me.”
There is no basketball court, so Zhou Jing has no interest in playing basketball. He is no longer at the age where he is passionate about it. The company has no venue, otherwise the company could organize a sports meeting for the company staff.
"I'll fight with you."
Gu Jia said with a smile.
"Okay!"
"Are you sleepy? Take a nap and then go buy some milk powder for Zhou Zhou."
Gu Jia said while lying on the pillow.
Zhou Jing kissed Gu Jia and rested. After sleeping for more than an hour, the child didn't wake up yet. After feeding the child after waking up, Zhou Jing and Gu Jia went out for a walk and came back to buy a can of milk powder for the child.
Wu Suqin came back from shopping and prepared dinner with Gu's mother. Gu Jia went to help, and Zhou Jing coaxed the baby.
The bucket of the cradle can be removed. Zhou Jing put the bucket on the table in the study and put the child in it. Then Zhou Jing turned on the computer to work, entertaining the child while handling work.
"Ah oh!"
The little girl had a pacifier in her mouth and looked at Zhou Jing with her big watery eyes, as if she was paying attention to Zhou Jing's every move, with a very rich expression.
"Bo, kiss daddy."
Zhou Jing kissed the little girl and let her kiss him.
The little girl pressed her saliva-stained mouth, which had just bitten the pacifier, against Zhou Jing's face.
"My little cutie is so obedient."
With his daughter supervising him, Zhou Jing had no mind to work. Worried that the child's lying with her neck raised for too long would be detrimental to her development, Zhou Jing held her in his arms, went to the bedroom and put her on the bed to coax her.
The child sleeps less during the day, and does not cry or make a fuss when awake. She babbles when adults are around, and does not cry or make a fuss when adults are not around as long as she can see the adults or hear them talking. She will only cry if she cannot see or hear the adults' voices for a long time.
Zhou Jing was reluctant to let his daughter be alone without anyone to accompany her, so he put down his work to be with her.
"Are you so happy to see your dad?"
Hearing Zhou Jing and the child laughing and talking in the bedroom, Gu Jia went in and tickled the child's feet.
"Ow!"
The child kicked the sheets with his legs and danced with his hands.
"How about not letting Dad work anymore and staying at home with you 24 hours a day?"
Gu Jia kissed her daughter on the mouth and said.
"Okay, come, Dad will tell you a story. Dad will tell you 'The Wolf is Coming'. Once upon a time, there was a shepherd boy in the village. He herded sheep in the mountains every day. He felt bored and wanted to play a trick on the people working in the fields, so he shouted 'wolf is coming, wolf is coming'... This is the price of lying. Zhou Zhou must be an honest and good boy."
Zhou Jing picked up the storybook and told the story very vividly, but he didn't know whether the children could understand it.
Bai Xiyao called Zhou Jing and said that the evaluation agency had issued a mobile phone evaluation report. The evaluation results given by the evaluation agency for the first mobile phone released by Ideal Technology Co., Ltd. were relatively objective, but Zhou Jing really couldn't stand the products of the so-called third-party evaluation agencies.
There are many digital bloggers who do mobile phone reviews, and there are also many who do third-party reviews. Zhou Jing asked Bai Xiyao to learn more about several review agencies.
Bai Xiyao: "Great, I have verified my information on WB, and the next step is to create a user fan group."
Zhou Jing: "Okay."
Even though Zhou Jing is a reborn person, he has no way to deal with some shady business wars on the Internet for the time being and can only accumulate experience step by step.
Bai Xiyao: "Are you coaxing the child?"
Zhou Jing: "Yes, does my daughter have a nice voice?"
Bai Xiyao: "That sounds good. It seems that you are adapting to your new role now."
Zhou Jing: "Once you have a child, you will naturally adapt. Your own child will be pleasing to the eye no matter how you look at it."
Bai Xiyao: "I'm sure my own child is pleasing to the eye. How's your investment company going?"
Zhou Jing: "The industrial and commercial procedures should be completed next week. The first project is to invest in a semiconductor company."
Bai Xiyao: "If you want to truly develop your own chips, you really need to have your own chip company."
Zhou Jing now has assets worth more than one billion yuan, and it is time to start the next step of planning. Chips cannot be made overnight, and Zhou Jing is ready to spend ten years to sharpen his sword.
After dinner, Zhou Jing and Gu Jia wanted to take the baby out for a walk, but the child fell asleep, so Zhou Jing and Gu Jia didn't take the child with them. The community square was more lively on weekends, and there was no place to play, so the two walked around the community and then went home.
After returning home, Zhou Jing worked in the study. Since having a child, Zhou Jing's attention has been distracted a lot. The work that should have been done in the afternoon was delayed because of accompanying the child.
"Last week's project report."
Gu Jia gave Zhou Jing the work report she brought back on Friday.
“Is there a problem with the smartphone project?”
Zhou Jing picked up one and looked at it while talking.
"No problem. The software part is going smoothly. We are planning the function you proposed. Is there any problem with the hardware that Ideal Technology is responsible for?"
Gu Jia stood beside the table and helped organize the documents.
"The road to hardware is long. The core technology may not be solved in three to five years or even ten to eight years. We can only buy it first."
Zhou Jing sighed.
“Have other mobile phone manufacturers in China solved this problem?”
Gu Jia followed with a sigh.
“No, we import everything.”
"Take it easy."
Gu Jia doesn’t understand technical matters and can only fully support Zhou Jing.
"Let Ideal handle the operation of the online store next week."
Zhou Jing stretched and said.
"Yeah." Gu Jia nodded, opened her mailbox to check the email and said, "Several more companies want to use the Bluetooth speaker technology patent, including these two mobile phone brands. I guess this feature will no longer be a highlight when our smartphones are released."
“Technology is about continuous innovation.”
Zhou Jing is not worried about this problem. When the Ideal smartphone is released, the Bluetooth speaker can be upgraded to a smart speaker. There is no difficult technical barrier. It is just a matter of adding a chip, and no high-end chip is needed. Zhou Jing's philosophy is to maintain competitiveness through innovation rather than blindly protect technology. He will not charge high patent fees for letting others use his patents. He can only make money if others keep using them. If the fees are too high, it will not benefit anyone if others change their track.
Hearing the child waking up in the bedroom, Zhou Jing looked at the remaining information. Without being in a hurry, he put it aside and went to see the child with Gu Jia.
"Zhou Zhou, don't cry."
Mother Gu was holding her child in bed and coaxing him. The child woke up and wanted to eat, and only Gu Jia could coax him quickly.
"Mom is here. I can't wait even a second because I'm hungry."
Gu Jia went to the bed, picked up the child, and fed him, and the child stopped crying.
"Dad is hungry too, can you give him something to eat?"
After Gu's mother left the bedroom, Zhou Jing went up to the child and played with him.
