Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

Wang Xiaohua and Zhang Ruoshui returned from outside, only to see Wang Dashan sitting on the living room floor tiles, facing the few screws before him, scratching his head incessantly.

Du Xiaojuan, holding the child nearby, wasn't angry, yet couldn't help but burst into laughter from time to time.

"Stop laughing, will you..." Wang Dashan's face was full of gloom as he muttered to himself, "This shouldn't be happening. I remember exactly how I took it apart, so I installed it exactly the same way. How come after reassembling the TV, there are a few extra screws left over..."

Wang Dashan went to plug the TV into the power source, but discovered the screen didn't light up at all.

He patted the top of the TV with his hand, but there was still no response whatsoever.

This was great; he had repaired it into an even more broken state.

Du Xiaojuan was still laughing, jeering as she said:

"Don't you know your own capabilities? You actually wanted to repair a TV! Just buy a new one tomorrow!"

Wang Dashan felt very humiliated.

Originally he had wanted to show off in front of Wang Dujin, to let Wang Dujin know just how awesome he was as a father!

But the result turned out like this!

"Dad, is the TV asleep?"

Wang Dujin asked Wang Dashan this one question.

Wang Dashan laughed embarrassedly:

"That's right, the TV is asleep. Son, it's about time for you to sleep too. No TV tonight, go upstairs to sleep with Mom!"

Wang Dujin asked again at this moment:

"Dad, was it you who broke the TV to death? Will it never wake up again?"

Wang Dashan laughed so embarrassedly that for a moment he didn't know how to answer.

And Du Xiaojuan had long been laughing so hard she was bending forward and backward; the child's innocent train of thought was truly amusing.

So not only was Du Xiaojuan laughing, but Li Xiulan also couldn't help but laugh.

Du Xiaojuan did give Wang Dashan face, though; she spoke up for Wang Dashan:

"Son, this TV wasn't killed by your dad. It was already dead to begin with. Your dad spent the whole night trying to save it. It's just a pity he couldn't revive it, but your dad did his best. At least he reassembled the TV, even though a few extra screws were left over after reassembling it!"

Wang Dujin let out an "Oh," her little face showing sudden realization:

"Dad, you've worked hard. I'll go pour you a cup of water!"

Wang Dujin hurriedly ran off with small steps to pour water.

She couldn't reach the tabletop, so she went to move a small stool over, stood on it, and poured the water.

So clever!

Wang Dashan received the half-cup of water Wang Dujin handed over, and this big grown man was moved to the point that his eye rims reddened.

He scooped Wang Dujin into his arms:

"Son, tonight Dad will sleep with you!"

But Wang Dujin said:

"I don't want to. I want Mom to sleep with me. You smell bad, it's unpleasant!"

Wang Dashan immediately didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

Just a moment ago he was still feeling touched.

He never expected to be doused with cold water by his own biological son.

Time flew, and in a blink it was the next day.

During breakfast, Du Xiaojuan suddenly said:

"I plan to renovate this courtyard a bit. It's too crude as it is!"

Wang Dashan was stunned:

"Didn't you say we'd stay for half a month and then go travel? What's the use of renovating now?"

Du Xiaojuan just said:

"Anyway, there's nothing to do for this half month. I have to keep busy, otherwise it feels boring and pointless!"

Li Xiulan also agreed with Wang Dashan's view:

"Xiaojuan, this courtyard is fine as it is. No need to fuss over it anymore. Even if you fix it up nicely, who knows if we'll live here often in the future! Don't waste money!"

Li Xiulan was speaking the honest truth. This house in Shangou Village, although still very good, really wasn't lived in often anymore.

Ever since Wang Zhanggen passed away, the three sons each had their own jobs and their own residences. None of them could possibly return to the village to live permanently. And Li Xiulan, as a mother, naturally couldn't stay here all alone either.

She would either go live with Wang Dashan, or with Wang Erhai, or with Wang Xiaohua.

The three brothers also couldn't let her stay at home alone. They weren't at ease. If something unexpected happened and the three brothers couldn't find out in time and rush back in time, they would regret it for a lifetime!

But Du Xiaojuan said:

"Mom, I have my own plans. Recently, haven't short videos become popular? I plan to try filming some short videos myself, to see how the operations work in this field."

Wang Dashan, however, had a face full of speechlessness:

"Why would you film that stuff? Would anyone watch it?"

Actually, he was afraid that those messy people online, seeing Du Xiaojuan on camera, would spew abusive language at her, or even harass her with all kinds of private messages!

Du Xiaojuan just said:

"Whether anyone watches doesn't matter. Whether it can succeed doesn't matter either. My main purpose is to familiarize myself with every link of short videos, to lay the groundwork for doing live streaming sales business later on."

Wang Dashan looked surprised:

"You really want to go do that thing?"

At that time, short videos had just started to rise, and live streaming sales were basically no different from scammers; many people didn't believe in this thing.

Wang Dashan naturally didn't believe it either.

But Du Xiaojuan said:

"Of course! I'm not just talking; once I figure out the ropes, I'll establish a company, and then you and Ruoshui come work with me!"

Zhang Ruoshui smiled foolishly:

"Sister Juan, then you must bring me along at that time! I'll listen to you in everything!"

Wang Dashan felt depressed:

"Then are we still going on the trip or not?"

Du Xiaojuan said:

"We're going. Traveling can also be used to shoot short videos, okay? At that time we'll shoot while walking! Anyway, right now it's the trial and exploration phase; once we're familiar with the process, later we'll do capital operations, and regarding how much to quote content creators, we'll have a clear idea in our hearts, so we won't waste too much money unnecessarily!"

Du Xiaojuan is just this kind of person; not only is her mind very clear, but her execution ability is also very strong.

Once she decides to do something, she will go do it.

And she doesn't act on a whim, diving in headfirst without understanding anything!

She first explores on her own, waits until she's familiar with the ins and outs, and then personally enters the game!

The previous founding of Xiao Du Technology was the same; at the start she only opened a very small online shop.

Ordinary people open an online shop, and that's all they can ever do — just keep running an online shop; but Du Xiaojuan is different. She can grow from an online shop into Xiao Du Technology, and even get it listed!

She feels that this time embracing the short video trend to start a business again, although it's new content, the core remains unchanged, the methodology is the same; it's certainly all about first figuring out the underlying ropes, then conducting operations, building it into a replicable standard process; only thus can the scale be enlarged and profits increased.

"Eldest Sister-in-law, I agree with your view!"

Wang Xiaohua spoke up at this time: "Everything is hard at the start; for things you want to do, you must take action. Once you act, you've succeeded halfway!"

Du Xiaojuan hurriedly said:

"Right, right, right. Action is more important than ideas. Who doesn't act while correcting mistaken ideas? Anyway, shooting some videos doesn't cost a few pennies!"

Du Xiaojuan also said:

"Ruoshui isn't returning to Guangzhou today? After eating breakfast, I'll drive you to the County Town, and by the way check in the County Town if there's any professional video equipment; buy it back and I'll immediately start!"

Du Xiaojuan looked at Wang Dashan:

"Wang Dashan, later you go to the Town and buy some cement and bricks back. When we renovate the Courtyard later, you'll act as the cement worker; moving bricks and laying walls, that work is assigned to you!"

Wang Dashan sighed; he still wanted to play a few more rounds of King of Glory!

But he also knew that once Du Xiaojuan decided on something, he couldn't change it!

Finally he said one sentence:

"Alright, alright. However you want to toss about, just toss about. If no good results come out at that time, don't blame me!"

Du Xiaojuan smiled:

"That's right. You've finally stopped being a Dajuanlv!"
