Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

Li Xiulan returned home and discussed with Wang Dashan her plan to go take the Maternity and Infant Caregiver Skills Training Certificate exam; Wang Dashan listened and then wore a speechless expression:

"Mom, what do you want to take that for? It's not like we're counting on you to go out and earn money. Wouldn't it be better to just enjoy a peaceful life at home? Why insist on going out and stirring up trouble?"

Wang Dashan actually just wasn't at ease with Li Xiulan going out alone, especially to a place too far away; if something happened to her, how would he answer to his two younger brothers?

In short, since Mother was living with him now, he had to let Mother live comfortably; there was no need to go mess around with those unnecessary things!

Li Xiulan, however, said:

"I just want to learn how to take care of children. When you and Xiao Juan have a second child in the future, we can't still hire someone else to look after them, right?"

Wang Dashan, however, said:

"If we hire someone, we hire someone. You don't go stirring up trouble. Listen to me — you looking after them might not satisfy them, and who knows, it might even stir up mother-in-law and daughter-in-law conflict!"

Li Xiulan, however, said:

"I believe Xiao Juan isn't that kind of person!"

Wang Dashan, however, said:

"That's because you haven't touched her pain points. Look at her now — whatever I say she doesn't listen, and she orders me around, not giving me any face at all!"

Li Xiulan fell silent.

Du Xiaojuan perhaps was used to being strong-willed; her way of speaking to Wang Dashan was indeed a bit too direct.

But actually it couldn't all be blamed on Du Xiaojuan, because Wang Dashan simply wasn't someone who could sit down and discuss things properly.

His personality was too stubborn; even forcefulness couldn't subdue him, let alone speaking nicely.

"Anyway, I don't care. I've already decided. I'm going to learn maternity and infant care. If you're not willing, then I'll go back and talk to Xiao Juan about it."

Wang Dashan was speechless:

"Fine, fine, fine. I'll help you, okay? Otherwise you'll go tell Du Xiaojuan, and Du Xiaojuan will scold me for being lazy, scold me for not even helping my own mother!"

So Wang Dashan opened the map on his mobile phone, searched for that Thousand Samples Good Vocational Technical Training School Li Xiulan mentioned, found it wasn't very far from home, and that very afternoon personally drove Li Xiulan over to the school to check things out.

Arriving at the school, they asked the staff here; the staff said that besides the original ID card, registration required 2 copies of the ID card, 4 two-inch white-background bareheaded ID photos, and additionally it was best to bring copies of the household register.

But Li Xiulan didn't even have her ID card on her, let alone copies, ID photos, household register copies, and so on.

So they could only go back first, prepare the materials another day, and come back to register.

In the blink of an eye evening came; Du Xiaojuan returned from work, learned that Wang Dashan had hastily gone to register Li Xiulan but hadn't even managed to register, and was a bit caught between laughter and tears.

"Please, before you do something, can you at least do a little strategy guide first?"

Du Xiaojuan was truly speechless at Wang Dashan's way of doing whatever he thought of right away.

Wang Dashan, however, said:

"I thought just going straight to register was fine. Anyway, this kind of thing doesn't have any threshold, does it?"

Du Xiaojuan complained:

"But you still should have searched for a guide online first. At least find out what materials need to be prepared, what the process is — understand it clearly first. Otherwise you'll get scammed and not even know it!"

Du Xiaojuan said two sentences to Wang Dashan, and Wang Dashan became unhappy.

"If you're so capable, you do it! Making it sound like everything I do is wrong! Then I'll do nothing at all!"

Wang Dashan directly gave up and lay flat.

After all, he originally didn't want his own mother to go stir up trouble.

Du Xiaojuan glared at Wang Dashan; the more she looked at him, the more of an eyesore he became.

Now she truly couldn't understand how she had ended up together with a man like Wang Dashan back then?

Being together was one thing, but they even got married!

Isn't that pretty much the same as marrying a pig?

Now besides the children, besides some trivial matters at home, the two of them basically had no common topics at all.

Du Xiaojuan wanted Wang Dashan to learn some company management knowledge, but Wang Dashan wasn't willing to learn either, and even said what use is learning, wouldn't he still be a stay-at-home?

Du Xiaojuan felt a deep sense of powerlessness toward Wang Dashan, and this powerlessness was slowly turning into annoyance.

And when annoyance accumulates to a certain degree, what kind of result would that be?

Du Xiaojuan herself didn't know either.

She only knew that right now she shouldn't think so much; the company's affairs were already enough to keep her busy, where would she have the free time to go wild with thoughts?

So for things Wang Dashan wasn't willing to do, she generally wouldn't argue with Wang Dashan; she'd just directly help him do it.

Just like this time — Wang Dashan wasn't willing to help Li Xiulan make a strategy guide for registering to learn the maternity and infant care certificate, so she didn't waste words with Wang Dashan, directly took out her mobile phone, and looked up the guide on the spot.

In less than half an hour, Du Xiaojuan had looked up all kinds of information thoroughly.

"Registration needs the original ID card, copies, and ID photos! Mom, tomorrow have Wang Dashan accompany you to the nearby photo studio to take ID photos! Also, netizens here say you can make an appointment for a free trial class. How about this: don't rush to register yet. Do the free trial first, ask some questions, see if it's suitable, and register if it is!"

Li Xiulan nodded:

"Good, good. Then let's do the free trial first."

Du Xiaojuan then said:

"Then tomorrow make a phone appointment for the trial class. The school's phone number is here. Call and ask and you can make an appointment."

Wang Dashan, however, said:

"Just register directly. What free trial? That's unnecessary!"

Du Xiaojuan impatiently said to Wang Dashan:

"Shut up, I'm talking to Mom, not to you!"

Wang Dashan still muttered:

"Free trial class is a trial class, what questions could there be to ask?"

Du Xiaojuan was quite angry, but still held it in, then answered patiently:

"There are plenty of questions to ask, for example what class phases there are, what specific items are taught, how long the class duration is, how much theory and how much practical exam, whether you can get a refund if you don't learn well, and so on! If you really want to ask, would you even be afraid of having no questions to ask? Honestly!"

Wang Dashan said:

"How about you accompany Mom to the trial class, I can't ask that carefully!"

This was Wang Dashan's honest truth.

If he accompanied Li Xiulan, he'd probably just register directly, and then start classes.

He really didn't want to waste effort fussing over such a small matter!

Although he currently had no job and was very idle, that didn't mean he was willing to spend free time pondering over small matters!

This perhaps is the difference in thinking mode between the majority of men and women.

For example buying clothes online, women generally will pick and choose, all kinds of contrast, buy something inappropriate and still argue with the seller; while men just see something pleasing to the eye and place the order directly, even if they buy something not quite suitable, they're too lazy to return it.

Wang Dashan thought, this skill training, just a thousand yuan or so registration fee, really no need to waste time fussing over it, just register and go learn!

Du Xiaojuan didn't think so, she felt since choosing to go learn, one must do a good strategy, only then can one learn real skills!

In the end it was still Du Xiaojuan who made the compromise, she took a deep breath:

"Fine, I'll make the appointment and take Mom over for the trial class!"
