Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

Time flew by and it was Saturday. Du Xiaojuan didn't tell Wang Dashan that she had to go see Ji Xunrong this afternoon; she only said she still had to go back to the Company this afternoon to handle a few things.

One reason was she was afraid Wang Dashan would have wild thoughts if she told him; the other was she felt meeting Ji Xunrong was indeed a work matter, with not a shred of personal feeling mixed in.

As for the agreement to accompany Li Xiulan to a trial vocational training class this morning, she naturally fulfilled it as promised.

After finishing breakfast, she personally drove Li Xiulan to the "Qian Yang Hao Vocational Training School." Before leaving, she instructed Wang Dashan to watch the children at Home, and also told the Nanny to have Lunch ready around noon, at which point she and Li Xiulan should be back to eat.

Wang Dashan naturally agreed readily, and then as soon as Du Xiaojuan and Li Xiulan left, he handed the children to the Nanny for early education, and himself plopped down on the Sofa to the side, then opened his Mobile Phone.

"T-mi~"

Wang Dashan opened the Honor of Kings app, and the Mobile Phone made a sound as he entered the game interface.

"Finally I can play with peace of mind for a while!"

Wang Dashan let out a long breath, a satisfied Smile appearing on his face.

Before, he always wanted to go out and start a business, go out and find work, feeling a big man couldn't have nothing to do, but ever since he started playing games, his thinking changed.

Now he feels staying at Home playing games is pretty good too.

Also he gradually began to agree with Du Xiaojuan's view, feeling he indeed wasn't cut out for entrepreneurship.

And gradually agreed that since Du Xiaojuan could earn money, him staying at Home with less fuss and more enjoyment was also a pretty good situation.

Meanwhile, on the Other Side, Du Xiaojuan brought Li Xiulan to the Qian Yang Hao Vocational Technical Training School.

They registered here, then went to audit a class.

Li Xiulan listened in the Classroom, while Du Xiaojuan waited patiently outside the Classroom.

After Li Xiulan finished listening to the class, she went over to find Li Xiulan:

"Mom, how do you feel about it?"

Li Xiulan said:

"Not bad. Today they lectured on child care; a lot of it is indeed different from what I imagined."

Du Xiaojuan smiled and nodded:

"Good that you think it's not bad. Come, let's go talk to the teacher!"

Du Xiaojuan brought Li Xiulan, along with some questions she had prepared in advance, to find the teacher and inquire.

"Hello Teacher, may I ask how many total class hours this Maternal and infant care course has?"

Du Xiaojuan asked politely.

At this time the teacher responsible for the free trial class was a Middle-aged Woman. She very patiently answered the students' questions:

"Altogether it's a half-month course, one class per day. This side will arrange the curriculum uniformly. If you miss classes and miss some content, you can make it up later, but our curriculum won't be adjusted for individuals' schedules; you have to accommodate our time, understand?"

The teacher wasn't just saying this to Du Xiaojuan; she was also saying it to the crowd of people wanting to enroll who were gathered around her.

Du Xiaojuan continued asking:

"Teacher, about how long is class each day?"

The teacher answered honestly:

"There are Night Shift Classes and Day Shift Classes. Generally two classes a day, each class 45 Minutes, usually back-to-back. Everyone can freely choose whether to come for Night Shift Classes or Day Shift Classes based on their own time!"

Li Xiulan spoke up at this point:

"Um, how much is the Registration fee?"

The teacher said:

"Registration fee 1980 Yuan. After training there will be an Exam; if you pass, a Certificate will be issued. Our Certificate is recognized by all Postpartum institutions in Guangzhou, all Domestic Service companies! However, the premise is, after you get the Certificate, you must get a Health Certificate. As for the Physical Examination, it follows each institution's different requirements. Some institutions require checking for AIDS, Syphilis, Hepatitis B, and such; some don't require it!"

The teacher not only answered Li Xiulan's question about the Registration fee, but also spoke about the Certificate issue.

It's clear she's indeed very patient, because she knows most of those present coming to enroll in training don't have easy lives. This 1980 Yuan must be spent by them clearly and transparently.

Otherwise her conscience wouldn't allow it, and it would easily lead to disputes.

Don't look at the 1980 Registration fee as not expensive, but for many Middle-aged Women, that's no Small Amount.

Even in a Big City like Guangzhou, there are still many bottom-rung Middle-aged Women whose monthly income is only three or four thousand Yuan.

And if they get the Maternal and Infant Care Training Certificate, they can go do Domestic Service, or go to a Postpartum Center to be a Confinement Nanny. For them, income will increase greatly.

Doing Domestic Service, live-out, long day shift, generally monthly income around five thousand Yuan. Better reputation, more skills, might reach six thousand, even sixty-five hundred.

And going to a Postpartum Center as a Confinement Nanny, the Salary is even higher. Especially those large Postpartum Centers, Monthly Salary basically reaches seven or eight thousand! Some can even offer Monthly Salary over Ten Thousand! Of course, that requires being a very high-quality Confinement Nanny to get Monthly Salary over Ten Thousand!

So not only do many Middle-aged Women come to test for this Maternal and Infant Care Training Certificate, some young women in their early thirties have also joined this industry in droves.

At this time a student asked:

"What if I don't learn well and don't get the Certificate? Can I get a refund?"

The teacher answered very clearly:

"No! Once you register and pay, the Tuition is not refunded! So everyone must Consider Clearly! Of course, if you fail the first Exam, you can continue coming to class afterwards, finish the class and take a second round of Exams. If the second round still fails, you can take a third, fourth, fifth — at most five chances. If all five chances fail, then I'm sorry, it shows you're really not suitable for this line. Please go do another profession, don't come mess with people's Infants!"

Coming out of the Classroom, Du Xiaojuan asked Li Xiulan:

"Mom, why don't we just register today?"

Li Xiulan, however, hesitated a bit:

"That teacher just said the Exam is divided into Written Exam and Practical Exam two parts. I'm a bit worried I won't pass. If I really fail, wouldn't the money be wasted?"

Du Xiaojuan hurriedly said:

"Mom, it's just Practical Exam. Do it a few more times and you'll pass!"

Li Xiulan, however, said:

"I'm not worried about the practical exam, I'm worried about the written exam. How many years has it been since I seriously read a book, since I seriously wrote characters?"

Li Xiulan's educational level was very low; she had stopped studying after finishing Junior High School when she was young.

Now that so many years had passed, she had not come into contact with exams again, so she felt a bit lacking in confidence.

Du Xiaojuan then encouraged and cheered her on:

"Mom, don't be afraid. You should recognize characters, right?"

"Characters, the majority of them I do recognize." Li Xiulan said as such.

Du Xiaojuan then said: "As long as you recognize characters, that's fine. The questions are very simple. Turning back, I'll find several more test papers online for you to practice, and you'll definitely be able to pass!"

"Really? Is it that easy?"

"Of course. Those questions are fixed, not like the College Entrance Exam that changes every year! Practice makes perfect — do it a few more times and you'll get it! Besides, you're here to learn a skill; the exam is actually secondary. Even if you don't pass and can't get that certificate, it doesn't matter. We're not counting on that certificate to find a job, are we?"

"What you say does have a few points of principle. Then let's go register for a class……"

Under Du Xiaojuan's encouragement, Li Xiulan finally also settled her mind.

Thus they Immediately went to register, took the registration receipt, and only then went home to eat Lunch.
