Shen Mingzhi went to the Public Security Bureau, only to find out upon arrival that she also needed a letter of introduction from her work unit.

"I'm the deputy director of Baoli's factory, do I need a letter of introduction?" Little did she know, everything required a letter of introduction...

"You still have to write that down. Make sure you clearly state why you're learning to drive, and also, make sure you have your household registration information and a medical examination form from the county-level hospital. Bring all of that to me before I can apply for the exam," the police officer told her.

Shen Mingzhi simply said "oh" and had no choice but to leave.

Back at the factory, she asked Director Sun a question.

“Just write that you are the deputy factory director, and it’s inconvenient for you to deliver and pick up goods without a car. Our factory happens to be short of drivers, so just fill in your name.” Director Sun had passed the test and had even driven before, but later the factory ran out of money, so he mortgaged his car and put it in the factory’s name.

"Okay." Shen Mingzhi sat in her office and obediently wrote the letter of introduction.

After she finished writing, Director Sun signed his name and stamped it. "That's fine. Now go to the hospital for a checkup and fill out your household registration form clearly."

"Okay, then I'll be going." Shen Mingzhi took the letter of introduction and prepared to leave.

Factory Director Sun, holding a teacup, followed her. "I'm going home for lunch too. Speaking of which, did you ask Xiaoyu to have the packaging factory make a new sample again? What kind do you want?"

“I want something that I like. Let’s find someone who studied abroad to design our packaging,” Shen Mingzhi told him. “Their design fees are too expensive. They charge ten yuan for each design and sample.”

Ten yuan in this era is worth thousands.

“I remember that Shen Xiuzhu studied abroad, right? See if he can do it. I heard he went to some art academy... It’s hard to find a job after going to that kind of school, so he became unemployed,” said Director Sun.

"Hiss... This is the first time I've heard of this? But his family situation is a bit complicated." Shen Mingzhi was genuinely a little afraid of his father...

“Oh dear, let him stay in the factory and do his design work honestly. What’s so difficult about that? We have computers now, isn’t it convenient for him to design by himself?” said Factory Director Sun.

Shen Mingzhi thought so too, and decided to talk to him later.

If he can go to the Canton Fair.

Applying for a driver's license went quite smoothly.

First was the theory exam. As Shen Mingzhi was looking at the "Urban and Highway Traffic Management Rules" given to her by the Public Security Bureau, Jiang Shaozhen leaned over to her, glanced at it, and said, "This exam is very simple. The key points are traffic sign recognition, which is only twelve types, and the right-of-way rules. You need to study these carefully. Some questions are designed to confuse your thinking, and you will lose points if you answer them incorrectly."

"Okay." Shen Mingzhi noted down the key points he made.

"You'll be eliminated if you get four questions wrong. There's only 100 points in total. Can you be confident?" Jiang Shaozhen asked her with a smile.

Shen Mingzhi nodded, "Yes, you said it's very simple. I'm your wife, if you can pass the test, why can't I?"

“That’s right, my wife is the smartest. After you finish your exams and get your license, I’ll spend more time helping you learn. You can drive in an open area for a week or so, and then you can start driving.” Jiang Shaozhen actually thought she was very smart and could have driven a long time ago.

However, for safety's sake, we still need to drive it more often and train her to handle various emergencies.

"It will take another week or so before it's ready?" Shen Mingzhi said helplessly.

“You need to practice dealing with emergencies. When I was learning to drive, some people would freeze up in a panic, which could easily lead to an accident,” Jiang Shaozhen explained to her.

"Okay." Although she was already very skilled at it in her past life...

But since Jiang Shao-chen was a soldier of the People's Liberation Army, he would definitely prioritize the safety of the people, and even his wife was no exception.

Shen Mingzhi looked at the question, while Jiang Shaochen played Rubik's Cube with the two children, solving a nine-link puzzle.

After working on some practice problems for a while, Shen Mingzhi started to lose focus.

It's true that people from any era don't like studying or doing exercises... As soon as they start studying, they think about slacking off.

Seeing her staring blankly at her pen, Jiang Shaochen said, "Hurry up and memorize the questions, what are you thinking about!"

Shen Mingzhi was startled and turned to glare at him. "I was thinking, what if I don't pass the exam?"

"You just said you were smart." Jiang Shaozhen couldn't help but chuckle. "If you don't pass the exam, so be it. I'll drive you. What are you worried about?"

"Isn't that too much trouble?" Shen Mingzhi sighed. "I was thinking that I could drive out and take the kids out to play."

“Then you should focus on reading now,” Jiang Shaozhen replied seriously.

Shen Mingzhi looked down at the dense text on the book and closed it. "Forget it, I'll read it tomorrow. I really can't concentrate on it; it's like reading ants."

The questions now are completely different from those before.

She initially thought they weren't that different, but after reading the book, she realized they were worlds apart!

Shen Mingzhi put down the book and pen, then went to the cabinet, took out the newly bought clothes, and showed them to Jiang Shaozhen, "Look, I bought these for them, don't they look good?"

Jiang Shaochen looked at it carefully, nodded and said, "You have better taste than my mom. My mom doesn't like fashionable things, but yours is fashionable."

“They say it’s a new model this year, so it’s quite expensive. Our mom is thrifty, you can’t say she has bad taste,” Shen Mingzhi said.

The older generation is used to saving money for the next generation. If it weren't for his parents' frugality, he wouldn't have been able to come up with the money when his factory needed it.

"You're right, I shouldn't have said that." Jiang Shaozhen immediately slapped his own mouth.

Shen Mingzhi couldn't help but laugh, "Saving money is a good thing, but this isn't a good thing; it's extravagant and wasteful."

“It’s just something to wear after all,” Jiang Shaozhen said. “As long as you’re happy. As for myself… maybe because she pressured me to have a baby, I developed some negative feelings towards her, and I think I should change that.”

Shen Mingzhi always handles things one thing at a time, while Jiang Shaozhen sometimes likes to hold people accountable. He feels he should change this habit.

“Because she’s my mother, you feel it’s okay to say a few words. That’s how people are; they’re always polite to others, but they’re especially harsh on their own parents, siblings, and so on. Ah, I’m not talking about Jiang Yinyin, I’m not including her.” Shen Mingzhi’s eyes were teasing.

Jiang Shaozhen smiled and said, "What you said makes sense. Perhaps it's because I've been protected by them since I was a child that I've developed this habit. I should treat the people around me even better."

“Yes, that’s right.” Shen Mingzhi said, holding the clothes up to Niannian and gesturing with them. “I really hope summer comes soon so I can see my daughter dressed up so beautifully and take her shopping.”

Shen Mingzhi also hopes they will grow up quickly.

When they grow up, they will be able to run on their own, call out to many people, and go to school.

When it comes to going to school, Shen Mingzhi thinks about having to help with homework... Hmm... Maybe it's better to grow up slowly.

Few parents who help their children with homework have normal blood pressure.
