Transmigrated & Triumphant: Defying Destiny's Chosen One-Chapter 490 - 40: All of You, Go to School_3

"Did you finish what I asked for earlier?"

"Finished, finished!"

The youngest carpenter quickly brought the items out from the house.

They were two steering wheels.

One with a diameter of 2.8, not even as big as a ping pong ball.

The other was bigger, with a diameter of 25 centimeters, also polished smoothly, the bamboo ring was glossy and perfectly curved.

There were also a few wheels, some quite large, others very small, all equally round and sturdy.

Chu River was extremely satisfied.

This was the trickiest carpenter work, if they had to make those standard sizes, they’d actually be quite swift, just align the lumber with the chalk line, mark the size, and get to work.

These were different; the three brothers who hadn’t read much had studied them intently for a long time, only then did they follow the blueprints bit by bit to make them.

But fortunately, after making a small one, they immediately gained experience, so the larger one was made more smoothly.

In these times, labor wasn’t worth much, especially considering they were using such lightweight materials. Chu River inspected the two items, "Alright, as we discussed before, the small one is twenty cents each, the large one is a dollar."

"Once you finish the work on hand, I’ll tell you how many more to make."

That’s fantastic!

The carpenters grinned from ear to ear—this kind of steady, small business was the most welcome.

Chu River took out the blueprints he had cut earlier—

"Please find some sturdy yet light materials, make them according to these thickness and sizes, can you finish by tomorrow?"

The three carpenters gathered around, carefully examining the cut newspaper, and concluded after a moment:

"No problem!"

These things varied in size, but none were square; they came with interlocking mortise and tenon structures. The blueprints were clear, even if they couldn’t read, they could understand them.

The requirements were just higher, the measurements had to be precise to a pinpoint—but that’s the carpenter’s job. Thinking of this generous client, the three brothers were delighted once more.

...

Originally thinking that everything was arranged, next was just to wait for the parts to arrive to proceed, Chu River was relieved when he got home.

Little did he know that just as he wanted to take it easy, Da Dan started with his demands again—

"Aunt, I asked around, here each person can raise a chicken, we have many people, buy 7 chicks and I’ll raise them in the backyard! We need 6 hens and one rooster."

Chu River: ...

While speaking, his hands didn’t stop, the long and short chains were polished to a bright shine.

Additionally...

"Aunt, if you have nothing else to do now, how about turning over the soil in the front and backyards? We need to hurry and plant vegetables; having just grain isn’t enough!"

Anyway, with so many people in the family, assigning one person each to feed the chickens, water the plants, and gather firewood, what work can’t get done?

Chu River: ...

He didn’t expect, in the end, he would still have to dig for food in the dirt.

Alright.

Who was carrying the responsibility of providing for the family?

Thinking of the fragrance of the soap-washed bedsheets and bamboo mats from yesterday, she resignedly picked up the hoe.

After thinking about it, it still felt a bit off.

As an aunt, how could she be so easily ordered around by Da Dan?

So she turned and said, "By the way, it’s too late now, but when school breaks for vacation in a month, you all have to start studying at home. Next semester, you’re all going to school."

Da Dan: !!! 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

Thunderstruck!

He hated going to school!

Yun Baoni and Daya inside also heard this.

Yun Baoni was quite excited; her dad had sent her to preschool before.

As for Daya, she had wanted to go to school before, just because why could only boys go?

But now, facing the sewing machine was truly enjoyable, and she could earn a salary, so why go to school?

She didn’t want to go to school either.

Chu River sighed, "You don’t want to go, huh? That’s quite troublesome. Because I’ve heard the best schools in the country are in Beijing, when you can go to college later, I’ll certainly have to take the exams there. Without an introduction letter, without a place to accept you, you’ll have to stay home."

Shi Suifeng also wanted to arrange a high school for her, but she can’t, she wouldn’t, she didn’t want to go to school.

Considering that there’d be college entrance exams in 7 years, who knew what restrictions there would be by then, Shi Suifeng decided that no school was fine, but he would get a bunch of materials back to help with registration and graduation certificates.

At worst, pay the tuition and not show up.

This was Chu River’s plan.

After all, not going to school didn’t matter, but Shi Suifeng said, his current allowance was almost insufficient to support the family, so he needed to quickly improve himself.

Chu River: ...

Alright.

Isn’t it just college? If we’re going, we’ll all go together.

She gave Da Dan a kind smile, "But don’t worry too much, when aunt is in Beijing, I’ll try to come back once a year to definitely see you all."
