[Introduction to the novel]
Hao Qingying announced at the family New Year's Eve dinner: "I'm not stupid, why do I want to get married?"
The three aunts and the six wives collectively exploded: "If a woman doesn't get married and have children, her life is incomplete!"
She threw out the Excel spreadsheet with her backhand: "According to the data, the marriage breakdown rate is 43%, the cost of raising a child is 2.67 Million, and my pension coverage is 120%. Which investment is more cost-effective?"
At a time when the entire Internet is urging people to get married, Hao Qingying launched the "Sobriety in the World" plan: find a top partner, raise children together, but never get married.
Partner Zhou Jinyan, male, with good looks and high IQ, was also pushed to the edge of the cliff by being forced to marry. The two signed a 50-page "Co-parenting Agreement" in a coffee shop, and the terms were as detailed as the dispute resolution process for the children's future studies in arts and sciences.
When ideals come true:
· During prenatal check-ups, they use project management software to schedule shifts;
· When a child cries at night, the agreement stipulates "taking turns to comfort him", but there is always someone who silently works the entire shift;
· At the kindergarten parent-teacher conference, they were praised as "really young and promising parents" and could only smile and nod.
Until one day, the child had a fever, and the two stayed in the emergency room until early morning. Zhou Jinyan suddenly said: "Article 101 of the Supplementary Terms of the Agreement, if the partner performs well, can he apply for... To extend the contract period?"
Hao Qingying looked at this man who could even remember the dosage of medicine for his children. For the first time, she felt that it was over. My rational life seemed to have an emotional bug.
This is an extreme experiment in marriage, childbirth and personal freedom.
