Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

Deng Hongyun, hearing Zhang Sheng put it like that, immediately flew into a rage, even feeling deeply insulted:

"What gives Wang Xiaohua the right to look down on my daughter? With his conditions, he'd be lucky just to get a wife! My daughter wouldn't even look at him!"

Zhang Sheng let out a dry laugh:

"Anyway, it's mutual disdain. If either one looked favorably on the other, I'd have a way to bring them together!"

Deng Hongyun glared at Zhang Sheng:

"Is that how you talk about your own daughter? You'd better not let her hear you say that, or she'll be heartbroken!"

Zhang Sheng fell silent.

He thought to himself, ever since his daughter returned from studying abroad, all she did was eat, drink, and play, hanging out with a pack of fair-weather friends; if she managed to get married off at all, that would already be burning high incense!

How could it be her turn to be picky?

Does she really think studying abroad for a few years makes her superior?

She went abroad for three years and her English still isn't very fluent!

That money counts as wasted!

Fortunately, Zhang Sheng also had no intention of letting his daughter take over his career…

Shanggou Village.

Time flew by.

Before they knew it, Wang Dashan and Du Xiaojuan had already self-driven through most of China, and now they had returned, bringing Li Xiulan, Zhang Ruoshui, and their precious son Wang Dujin.

This self-driving tour could be said to have yielded quite a harvest.

Du Xiaojuan had figured out the ropes of playing with internet short videos.

Li Xiulan had even accidentally become a minor internet celebrity.

Zhang Ruoshui had learned all kinds of account operation techniques, including video editing.

And Wang Dashan, during the journey, had grown even closer with Du Xiaojuan.

As for the child Wang Dujin, he had gained a lot of exposure during the trip; although he didn't understand much, when he grows up in the future, this memory will absolutely become a very precious treasure in his life.

How does that saying go:

A happy childhood can heal a whole life, while an unhappy childhood takes a whole life to heal.

And Wang Dujin clearly belongs to the former; he is fortunate enough.

"Starting tomorrow, I'm going to set about preparing to start a company!"

On the very day they returned to Shanggou Village, at dinner, Du Xiaojuan announced this.

Wang Dashan was immediately surprised:

"You've been running around outside for so long, just got back and you want to start a company? Can't you rest for a bit?"

Li Xiulan also felt heartache for this daughter-in-law:

"Xiao Juan, why not rest a bit? We're not in a rush to earn that bit of money. You've been worn out by travel for so long; you should rest at least ten days or half a month."

But Du Xiaojuan said:

"Mom, I'm not tired. Right now my head is full of ideas; I can't wait to act on them immediately. I'm afraid if I rest for a while, I'll forget these ideas, and even if I don't forget, I'm afraid the trend will pass too fast, so I must get moving right away!"

Zhang Ruoshui ate with her head down, also acting as a little nanny on the side, feeding Wang Dujin; she didn't say anything, because she felt with her IQ she wasn't qualified to point fingers at Du Xiaojuan.

Li Xiulan, however, said:

"Ruoshui, you persuade Xiao Juan. Traveling this long, how could she not be tired? You agree, right?"

Zhang Ruoshui laughed carelessly:

"Auntie, Juan-jie is way more capable than me; I feel her decision-making is fine."

Du Xiaojuan immediately said with a smile:

"Ruoshui, tomorrow you come with me to Guangzhou; I'll teach you some business hands-on!"

"Sure, sure! But, Juan-jie, don't mind if I'm slow; I might learn comparatively slowly."

"No problem, slow work yields fine results!"

Li Xiulan sighed, but a smile appeared on her face, and she didn't press further.

Wang Dashan, however, said:

"Then you go start the company first; when it's set up, call me. I'll stay home and play with the son for a few days first!"

Du Xiaojuan glared at him:

"Wang Dashan, if you want to play, just say you want to play!"

Wang Dashan's face showed an embarrassed smile:

"Haha, you saw right through me…"

Du Xiaojuan then said:

"Play if you want; taking advantage of now to play a few more days is fine. Next year Xiao Jin turns three, he'll have to start kindergarten. By then we'll have to bring the kid to Guangzhou for kindergarten, and it has to be bilingual; English must start from childhood!"

Wang Dashan was astonished:

"Starting 'chicken baby' this young? Isn't that a bit much? How much pressure!"

Wang Dujin asked at this moment:

"Dad, what is pressure? Is it as big as the chicken drumstick in my hand?"

"Pfft……"

When Wang Dujin said this, the whole table burst into laughter.

Du Xiaojuan hurriedly said to Wang Dujin:

"Xiao Jin, don't listen to your dad spouting nonsense; only the most outstanding children can go to kindergarten, children who aren't outstanding don't even get to go to kindergarten, and there are lots of children in kindergarten to play with!"

Hearing this, anticipation appeared in Wang Dujin's eyes:

"Really?"

Du Xiaojuan nodded:

"Of course it's true, especially a bilingual kindergarten, there are even foreigners teaching English inside, it's super fun!"

Wang Dashan suddenly chimed in:

"Fun my ass, telling the truth, I don't hope the kid goes to kindergarten too early……"

"Wang Dashan!"

Du Xiaojuan immediately rebuked Wang Dashan, her two eyes staring at Wang Dashan like nails; she wished she could sew Wang Dashan's mouth shut!

However, she also knew she couldn't scold Wang Dashan in front of their son, otherwise the father's image would completely collapse, which would also be detrimental to their son's growth.

So she stood up:

"Wang Dashan, come with me for a moment!"

After speaking, she walked toward the stairwell.

Wang Dashan felt baffled, but still followed along.

They soon reached the second floor.

Du Xiaojuan pulled Wang Dashan into a small room on the second floor, closed the door, and only then rebuked Wang Dashan:

"Wang Dashan, you yourself are a poor student; do you also hope your son will be a poor student in the future?"

Wang Dashan wore a long face:

"That I don't hope for…… but you didn't go to university either, did you?"

Du Xiaojuan huffed angrily:

"What do you mean by that? Me not going to university is my reason? You not going to university is your own reason! I was first place in the whole school in junior high; what place were you?"

Wang Dashan let out a dry laugh, unable to say a word.

How would he remember what place he was?

Anyway, it was a middle-to-lower level.

He remembered that the year he took the high school entrance exam, it happened to coincide with high school enrollment expansion, and he entered high school as a sports talent student; his exam score just barely met the sports talent student score line.

Du Xiaojuan said at this time:

"From now on, I have the final say on the child's education; if you think I'm doing something wrong, or have any misunderstandings, we can discuss it privately, but you absolutely cannot undermine me in front of our son, understand?"

Wang Dashan let out a dry laugh:

"Understood, understood; after all, you need face too."

Du Xiaojuan added:

"Also, we must create the illusion for our son that 'going to kindergarten is a reward'; absolutely must not let him feel that going to kindergarten is a punishment; if he develops a hatred for learning at such a young age, just watch me not hammer you!"

Wang Dashan felt depressed, spreading his hands:

"How do I create that? I'm not good at lying!"

Du Xiaojuan said:

"It's simple; just tell him more about the benefits of going to kindergarten!"
