Transmigrated & Triumphant: Defying Destiny's Chosen One-Chapter 493 - 42: Toy Car Painting

Yun Baoni’s cheeks were flushed, not knowing if it was from exertion or excitement. At this moment, she gripped the steering wheel, desperately pushing with her feet.

The smooth pedal finally started moving slowly, and the car crawled forward a couple of meters in the yard. With her unconscious turn of the steering wheel, the direction changed as well.

Bao Ni was startled and immediately stopped her actions.

Da Dan was going crazy watching.

In ancient times, men loved horses, but modern men love cars.

It’s an irresistible proposition. Now Da Dan just wanted to rush up, yank the ineffective Bao Nini out of the car, and get in himself!

He was sure he could pedal faster, better, and smoother!

But...

But this toy car was already as big as possible. Any bigger, and it wouldn’t be a toy car; might as well be a full-size car.

Where would the engine come from? Where would the steel materials come from?

Transportation was inconvenient these days, and it was hard even to ship goods out.

Da Dan looked at his skinny arms and legs and pleaded with Chu River, "Aunt... I’m not fat..."

Indeed, he wasn’t fat, but with that frame, squeezing in would leave no room to stretch, where’s the fun in that?

However, Chu River also realized the flaw of this car— 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

Too heavy.

Even though the pedals were slightly modified to be much smoother, the entire car frame remained cumbersome.

It was meant for kids under 7, but kids under 7 probably didn’t have the strength to pedal it.

She thought about it and remembered how people would play with something as useless as a tin frog for months until it mysteriously disappeared...

Lack of materials was a dead end, so just leave it as it is!

"Da Dan, Bao Nini will pedal in front, you push from behind."

She finally gave Da Dan a close-up opportunity to approach the car.

"Bao Ni, beside the pedals is the brake. If Da Dan pushes too fast, just step on it. Also, you can turn the steering wheel left or right at will. Our yard is spacious, and this car won’t go too fast, don’t worry."

—You can even turn the steering wheel!

Da Dan pushed the back of the car, feeling so excited that he was almost drooling.

Running on the power of lemons, he took a firm grip as Yun Baoni readied herself with the steering wheel, and with a push, the heavy car was moved!

Once it started moving, it became much smoother.

Yun Baoni was sitting in the driver’s seat, before she even applied any force to the pedals, they were already spinning her feet, and much faster than she could pedal on her own!

Yun Baoni: ...

She blamed herself for being too weak to help her aunt at all.

She gritted her teeth and decided to push harder, trying to pedal faster. They went around the courtyard twice before gradually slowing down.

When she got off, her legs were shaking.

Chu River rubbed her nose.

—Bao Ni, she’s definitely going to have sore legs tomorrow.

But it’s not her fault; the child just lacks exercise...

So she quickly changed the subject:

"Alright, let’s leave it at that; it can’t be changed, we’ll have to make do."

And looking at Da Dan’s expression... it wasn’t really "making do" at all.

It still seemed to be quite thrilling.

Chu River thought about it: "Da Dan, ask Daya to sew you a face cover, I’m about to paint, and I need your help."

Better than nothing.

The paint was toxic, and if it weren’t for Da Dan’s yearning eyes, there’d be no need for a child to help.

Chu River would be much quicker doing it herself.

As long as he could be near the car, Da Dan would do anything.

At this moment, he diligently pushed the car back, watching as Chu River effortlessly removed the tires, washed them clean with water, and carefully dried them.

Chu River: ...

With the evening temperature still at 30 degrees, it dried quickly; no big deal.

...

The day had already turned to night.

Daya couldn’t see the fabric clearly anymore, so she came out of the house, looking at the quiet kitchen and the pile in the yard, she couldn’t help asking:

"Da Dan, did you cook?"

Da Dan: !!!

Right, he still had to cook!

Daya urged him, "Hurry up, I’ll light the fire for you. Uncle will be back soon; he has to deliver food to the city, can’t let him go hungry."

Da Dan thought of his salary, and reluctantly walked into the kitchen.

As for Chu River, she wouldn’t kindly wait for the child—tomorrow this thing would be unveiled, and it needed time for the paint to dry.

She rolled up her sleeves and got to work.

As for Yun Baoni, she had already started picking vegetables, but her legs were sore whenever she squatted down.
