Transmigrated & Triumphant: Defying Destiny's Chosen One-Chapter 461 - 28: Teacher Xiao Chu’s Capability_2
Shi Suifeng: ...
For a moment, he didn’t know how to knock down this overly full self-confidence.
He could only sigh, "What’s for dinner?"
Chu River touched his belly, "Alas, now that I have a proper job, I’ll provide for the family from now on!"
Shi Suifeng thought: Eighteen bucks to provide for the family? It’s not even enough for 66!
But his face already showed a sense of pride, "Yes, our Little He is amazing—let’s stew a big fish tonight to celebrate!"
Stew a fish, add more pickled vegetables, then some vermicelli, and finally steam some mixed grains until they’re soft... thinking about himself, Shi Suifeng, a respected military king-level figure, now has to figure out ways to save food every day.
This era, it’s really too unfriendly.
...
Chu River began his new role, and the next day returned to work with exceptionally high enthusiasm.
Comrade Xiao Zhou, after seeing her take care of the children yesterday, ran off overnight, burdened with guilt, to seek out his partner—
What else could he do?
The job won’t wait for anyone, and without someone to take over here, she can’t leave. As for what Chu River did with Liu Jia Bao yesterday... Liu Jia Bao didn’t cry, so it mustn’t be a problem!
Though she thought about it, the young girl couldn’t get over it in her heart, so she ran off in a hurry.
And Chu River, by himself, started the job and greeted the two women in charge of hygiene at the nursery:
"Sister-in-law Zhu, Sister-in-law Wang."
The two sister-in-laws were very polite too—they couldn’t recognize a single word, and working themselves to death taking care of kids at home didn’t earn them a penny. Instead, they’re placed here, just to wash and clean for the kids, and maintain the yard’s hygiene, and they can earn 21 bucks a month, it’s remarkable!
Both women were very dedicated to this job, not feeling overworked at all. Instead, they thought that proper caregivers even had to teach the kids to recognize words, which was way too difficult!
This has become the norm for measuring labor now.
Everyone agreed, manual labor was the least valuable, and housework was at the bottom. A few dozen kids every season, washing faces and wiping runny noses, wiping butts, washing and drying their pants and sheets, and washing bowls...
This was all done at home as well!
However, with more kids, you could earn money, better than nothing.
And as a result, the three caregivers were quite harmonious.
...
Before long, the kids started arriving one after the other.
The older kids could be brought by other older kids, whether they were neighbor’s children or family members, it didn’t matter. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂
Those little three-year-old tots who had no one, it was a bit more troublesome and needed someone from their family to bring them over.
Chu River didn’t have a chance to ask yesterday, but today when he inquired—32 big and small kids, quite a lot!
But the more the merrier; at eight o’clock she officially started the class, and had just tapped the broken enamel bowl hanging at the entrance with a hammer when two little kids with runny noses stood up: "I need to go to the restroom!"
The cycle of nature was serious business, and Chu River took it quite seriously:
"Come on, today we’re going to the restroom as a group, five minutes each, everyone must squat down earnestly!"
She waved to Sister-in-law Wang, "Sister-in-law Wang, you’ll be on butt-wiping duty for this round!"
Sister-in-law Wang: ...
Do cultured people even teach like this? Even going to the restroom was so disciplined...
A girl with braids was unhappy, "Teacher, I went at home."
Chu River disagreed, "Going to the restroom one more time is safer... How about this, those who don’t want to go, just squat for a while, if you really feel nothing, shout for Teacher Wang to wipe your butt and get up."
"Just to free up the restroom for the next group."
...
As everyone knew, when it came to going to the restroom, you could manage to squeeze out a few drops even if you didn’t feel the need, and to everyone’s surprise—they found out that it really was safer to go one more time!
So if you take a nap like this, you won’t wet the bed, right?
The school’s restroom was just a row of pits dug out casually, one row for boys and one for girls, and now there were two groups of students, and it just wasted fifteen minutes in total.
Sister-in-law Wang, happy and content after finishing the butt-wiping, came back quite pleased, "Teacher Xiao Chu, you’re really smart, doing it this way, next we won’t have to keep getting up to take the kids to the restroom when we’re washing clothes."
Otherwise, it would have disrupted their laundry, getting anxious hearing people call out mid-wash.
And when everyone got to the classroom, Chu River kindly said, "Going to the restroom is tiring enough, everyone take a break. Today, I’ll teach you to recognize money!"
She had pondered it quite a bit last night, this was the simplest.
Besides, what kid doesn’t like money? It surely must be easy to teach!
Recognize money?!
All of a sudden, all the kids were intrigued, and yesterday’s protagonist, who had already been forgotten by his classmates, Liu Jia Bao, stood up straight away:
"I can recognize it!"
Chu River took out a few bills from her pocket, "Then you recognize it, if you get it right, I’ll tell you a story, if you get it wrong, you tell me a story!"
As for what story to tell...
