Transmigrated & Triumphant: Defying Destiny's Chosen One-Chapter 455 - 26: What Are You Best at Doing_2
A young girl, even if she’s strong, I bet she’s honed that through years of hard labor. Not much of an advantage.
After all, these days, who hasn’t done some work since they were born?
Those who’ve never worked are all capitalists, sent to the ’cowshed’ years ago.
Sister-in-law Li racked her brains and couldn’t think of a suitable place, so she could only ask again, "So what are you best at?"
Even if there’s no hope, what if there’s a special skill?
...
What am I best at?
— Definitely eating.
Chu River thought: There aren’t many people in this world like me who are not picky with food, and who can eat and know how to eat.
But she was just amnesiac, not an idiot, so she quickly turned her mind and naturally said:
"I’m particularly good at educating kids."
"Stealing, making trouble, throwing tantrums, not listening, quarreling, being selfish... I can educate them all."
How’s that for an explanation?
These days, there’s no kindergarten or nursery, and this girl supposedly hasn’t been to school, so how can she educate children?
However, Chu River spoke as if she really knew what she was talking about, not just summarizing but even providing examples:
"For instance, in the house I used to stay in, there were six little rascals who were fierce in grabbing food, causing trouble, swearing, stealing, and lacking hygiene... that was too normal."
"Then I implemented ’Love’s Education’ with them; in no time, these kids changed completely."
"When I left, my eldest nephew was working hard learning cooking from the team leader’s wife, not afraid of hardship or fatigue, striving for self-reliance."
"My eldest niece was learning needlework under Aunt Juhua in the village. Also staying up late to practice on a piece of cloth, over and over again."
She casually pulled a handkerchief from her pocket: "Look, the dense stitches on this were all secretly practiced by my eldest niece under the moonlight after being educated."
"Once she perfected it, she gave me the handkerchief."
...
Practicing under the moonlight, really? To learn a craft, wouldn’t you need good eyes?
The eldest niece paid close attention when listening to Aunt Juhua.
But there’s always a bit of artistic embellishment when speaking, right?
Chu River just picked it up without a teacher.
She even had some guesses about her past from this conversation—My literary accomplishment isn’t low!
If it weren’t for the tribulations of the world... sigh!
This whole spiel left Sister-in-law Li stunned. At this moment, seeing Chu River handing over the handkerchief, she instinctively took it and looked at it under the sunlight outside.
Whoa, dear me!
Can’t say the whole thing was covered in stitches, but there wasn’t a single patch the size of a thumb nail left on the handkerchief.
This is truly diligent work.
If that’s the case, Little He really has a knack for watching kids.
Sister-in-law Li couldn’t help but ponder.
Though her educational level was a bit low, she hadn’t even acquired a primary school diploma until now, but since she was young, his sister has been able to educate kids so well in the village... Many military wives also have jobs, and with no one to look after the kids in the compound, it’s a hassle, so they do have a care center here.
If we let Little He work there...
Sister-in-law Li had an idea.
But arranging a job isn’t about what she says goes; it still needs to be done convincingly.
She hurriedly stood up: "Alright, I understand now. Shi, you and your sister hang tight at home, I need to go back and think this over."
With that, she glanced again at the handsome Shi Suifeng—ah, this silly fellow, so good-looking, yet he humbles himself to help wash dishes and scrub pots for the family. Why hasn’t he caught the eye of any girl yet?
Back then, so many nice girls, he just wouldn’t agree to meet them.
And now he’s not only supporting the entire family but also this bottomless-pit of a sister...
Sigh, Shi’s marriage prospects, tough indeed!
...
After Sister-in-law Li left, Chu River got excited: "Wasn’t what I just said about my skills pretty impressive?"
Farming, for instance!
If she can handle such tough work, she must be outstanding.
Who knows what kind of job they’ll arrange by then, really going to educate children? That’s fine, she can do it all.
"Tell me, when the time comes, with a monthly salary of 66, can I spend it however I want?"
Shi Suifeng really didn’t want to burst her bubble: "Little He, if you’re watching children at the care center, it’s only 18 bucks a month."
Even so, plenty of people want to earn that.
"But then, even if it’s just 18 bucks, you can’t randomly hit the kids there. Get too rough, and you might have to change someone."
Chu River: ...
With such low wages and such high demands, she might as well have been killing bugs in her previous life!
