On this day, Cheng Ziyang rarely stayed at home. However, despite the rarity, there were still a lot of papers on his desk. He had to finish the paperwork before he could have time to spend with his wife.

"Pangu slept for 18,000 years in a dark world without heaven and earth, without sun, moon and stars. Finally, one day, he opened his eyes and found such a chaotic and endlessly dark world. Pangu was very uncomfortable, Pangu picked up his fist and smashed it, and kicked it when he raised his foot. The chaos and darkness that were inseparable from heaven and earth for 18,000 years began to turn over the rivers and seas, and the light ones slowly floated up and became blue skies. ”

"The heavy ones gradually sank and became the earth. Heaven and earth are divided. ”

Pangu was thinking: Heaven will come down one day and become one with the earth again, so how will those creatures on the earth deal with it? Pangu then stood up and held the heavens in his hands, and his body grew taller and taller, infinitely higher, until the heavens hung safely above the heads of all living beings forever. ”

"Pangu is tired ......"

"Haha!" Cheng Ziyang asked his wife to sit on his lap, and said to her with a smile: "It's rare that you told such a joke, I have to put down everything in my hand and come to accompany you." ”

"That's not necessary," Ning Xiao replied to him as he flipped through the papers on the desk. "I just wanted to tell you that no matter how much work you do, you have to take a break. Don't think that if you are the king of men, you can get carried away. ”

"Okay, I'll listen to you!" After speaking, Cheng Ziyang let his wife lean on his chest.

The two of them just snuggled up to each other, quiet and warm.

Soon, Ning Xiao was attracted by the title of a document on the desk - "The Future Mother-Child Relationship".

It's a hypothesis: the children of the future are all born from test tubes and nurseries. Women have been liberated from the pain of childbirth, and children do not have navels. However, there are occasional women who want to give birth and experience the happiness and pain of giving birth to a new life.

Therefore, when the catastrophe comes, the child with the navel has the right of first refusal. Because they are even more hard-won.

"What's wrong?" Quickly feeling Ning Xiao's strangeness, Cheng Ziyang couldn't help but ask.

"I'm curious about this!" Ning Xiao said and took out this document from the pile of documents.

"Hmm!" Cheng Ziyang also saw the title. Suddenly, he was also interested.

So, the husband and wife came to read the document together, head to head.

Who is sure that this hypothetical scenario will come true, but it is conceivable that if it does, it will be followed by a dramatic change in the relationship between parents and children. As for what it can become, no one dares to imagine it further.

Not long ago, someone watched a science fiction movie that tells the story of cloning. It is said that a little child stumbled upon a secret of her parents. Before her, her parents had several children, all of whom looked exactly like her, with the same name. Because those children had some minor shortcomings, her parents decided not to want them. The child also discovered that her parents had begun to discuss whether to clone her again because she was not very obedient.

After reading this story, it's a little creepy. What is terrible is not the development of science, but the loss of humanity brought about by the development of science. Let's hope these science fiction guys are overthinking. If you are optimistic, imagine that the future mother and child will be like this:

At that time, because the mortality rate had dropped dramatically, the average life expectancy had increased dramatically, and the age at which women had children had been greatly delayed, and they could only obtain a fertility target after reaching the age of 50. Even if these children are born through test tubes, for every woman, there is only one chance in a lifetime, and it takes such a long wait to get it. They are still cherished.

Because of the development of science, people are not getting busier, but more and more leisurely. The degree of modernization has increased further, and working from home will become mainstream. In other words, women will become housewives regardless of whether they work or not, so that they will be better able to balance family and work. What about the children, because the future education will be taken at home. The computer remote church method allows them to not have to carry a heavy school bag to school. So, mom and child have more time together.

The growth period of children is very short, but the aging period of mothers is very long, and mothers in their 60s walk on the street with children in their 10s like sisters and brothers. Mother and son have a lot of common language, they can talk about clothes or music, and they are really good friends.

Thanks to major breakthroughs in genetics, mothers can transmit much of their thoughts and knowledge directly to their babies during pregnancy, allowing for a two-way communication between mother and child before the child is even born. The child said to his mother: Mom, please don't eat too many green onions next time, I don't feel good here. Also, don't take too long a walk after dinner, or I'll get tired. A newborn child can feel like an old friend reuniting with his mother.

IVF may really become a mainstream, although the child is no longer conceived and given birth by the mother herself, but there will be a special feeling between the mother and the child. When a child feels hot or cold, it is transmitted to the mother's sensory system. When the child is disobedient and the mother is angry, the mother's heartache is multiplied to the child's sensory system. Because in this way, the child will never get lost with his mother. Moreover, the children of the future will listen to their mothers very much, there will be no rebels, and the social security situation will be better than ever.

All this is the result of scientific development. However, no matter how advanced science is, it is impossible for human beings to survive forever. If one day, when the mother will leave this world, the child will find himself quite vulnerable. But at this point, science doesn't want to get involved. Because after experiencing so many scientific emotions, it makes people really painful!

……

"How?" Ning Xiao had finished reading it for a long time, but found that Cheng Ziyang had not put down the document, so he whispered casually. "Do you want to get an IVF?"

"How can it?" Hearing this, Cheng Ziyang put down the document. "One is enough. One more might be a nuisance. ”

"Maybe you can make a daughter out of a test tube?" Ning Xiao was tempting him.

"No," Cheng Ziyang still vetoed it flatly. "To raise a son is to make my head not a head, and my feet not a foot. Raising another daughter, I'm afraid I won't be able to save my old life. ”

"Alas," Seeing Cheng Ziyang so resolute, Ning Xiao had to sigh. "I'm just worried that my child will be lonely in the future, and I won't even have anyone to talk to."

"Who can tell what is to come?" Cheng Ziyang hugged Ning Xiao. "Maybe he'll meet a woman who's just like you and who will satisfy him in the future?"

"You, how can it be so easy?" Ning Xiao looked helpless. "Thinking about the beginning, in order to satisfy you, I don't know how many great powers spent their efforts on me before ......"

"That's it!" Cheng Ziyang had already touched Ning Xiao's forehead with his forehead. "I'm not going to try it or something. However, if there is any other way to get a daughter, I would be willing to do it. ”

"You!" Hearing this, Ning Xiao blushed a little. "They are all old husbands and wives, and the children are so old."

"Huh!" Cheng Ziyang smiled. "Not old, the time you and I have been together is too short. As for the child, isn't he an adult yet? ”

……

Ning Xiao slept a little heavily. When she woke up, Cheng Ziyang was lying next to her, smoking a cigarette.

"You're a little crazy!" Ning Xiao said bluntly.

"Really?" Seeing Ning Xiao wake up, Cheng Ziyang extinguished the cigarette. "I'm kind of crazy. Remember Constance in Shakespeare's King John? She's not crazy, but she wants to. The reason she went crazy was because 'I felt all too clearly, too clearly, the different pain of each calamity.' She wanted to get rid of her sorrow and the pain of this world. ”

"You're the king of people," Ning Xiao comforted him. "What is there to be pain and sorrow for you? You're not the one who really wants to go crazy. That's also Shakespeare's King Lear, the King of Britain. He likes to say, 'Don't drive me crazy!' Oh my God, suppress my anger, don't drive me crazy, don't drive me crazy. He's really scared to go crazy like that. ”

"You-" Cheng Ziyang couldn't help but hug Ning Xiao again. "Always give me a handful of candy to eat and then quietly leave. In the face of a ruthless woman like you, there is no man who does not go crazy. ”

"Really, you're not crazy at all!" Ning Xiao was arguing. "Truly crazy people rarely think they're crazy."

"Really?" However, Cheng Ziyang didn't want to let Ning Xiao go. "You know, there are a lot of reasons that lead to madness. Such as excessive sadness, excessive vulnerability, excessive pursuit, etc. In the current China, it is more about these three factors: one is the madness caused by the desire for power; the second is the madness caused by the desire for money; The third is madness caused by lust. ”

"You say, my madness accounts for several of them?"

"You're sober and not crazy at all!" Ning Xiao was struggling.

"Huh!" Cheng Ziyang laughed even more. "Have you forgotten that someone once said, 'Soberness is also a kind of madness.'"
