Transmigrated & Triumphant: Defying Destiny's Chosen One-Chapter 599 - 80: Little Chu’s Education

A few little kids only half understood the talk about tracks and remote controls, only knowing that they’d soon have their beloved toy car.

They gathered around Gu Ping, their hearts and eyes full of anticipation.

And Gu Ping, not disappointing them, rummaged through a few boxes and immediately brought out two boxes.

One was opened, revealing a green train with a full 8 cars!

Then he opened another long narrow box, containing standard-sized tracks, layered up to 7 sections!

Everyone was instantly stunned.

After a long while, Da Mao let out a "wow" but couldn’t say anything more.

— In this impoverished era, where had these kids ever seen such toys?

He could only look up at Gu Ping, incredulous: "Is this really for us to play with?"

Gu Ping replied nonchalantly with a "Hmm" —

After all, no matter how rare they were, they had been packing them away for six years, and looking at them now felt like Da Dan looking at his pickled vegetables.

Apart from being able to sell for money, there were no other feelings.

As for how precious they were...

Ha, how precious could they be? They had inspected and assembled so many cars that they’d worn out the three carpenters of the Victory Team with the ones needing rework.

However, disregard aside, since they brought them out, Gu Ping remembered Uncle Zhu’s earlier question.

He thought: I can tell he got scolded by Auntie.

These adults, they never learn.

He pursed his lips and smiled, extremely refined.

Then he decided —

To take the kids to play with the cars in the courtyard.

...

Gu Ping led everyone out the door quickly with this secret thought, while Da Mao, Er Mao, and others clung to him, unwilling to miss out on anything.

— After all, what could be more enticing than new toys?

Even the other three kids who could originally choose big cars had long forgotten their previous words.

With toy trains around, who could remember those things? What was in front of them was the most real thing.

And Old Zhu hadn’t had time to get up, but saw the kids already outside, so he coughed dryly and sat back down with restraint.

— Toys!

They’re all kid stuff.

He considered himself a mature adult.

He was reserved, but Old Wu and Old Zhou didn’t care about saving face.

Old Wu watched as some kids carried the boxes and came out, curious, "Why’d they bring them out?"

He was curious too, having decided earlier to take a look.

After all, these cars were so popular these days, even money couldn’t always buy them; who wouldn’t be curious?

Besides, who said adults don’t love toy cars?

Throughout history, vehicles have been near and dear to most men.

Ancient men were captivated by majestic steeds, and nowadays people loved cars.

And then he saw there were two boxes!

He couldn’t help feeling bitter inside and said to Shi Suifeng:

"Our sis is indeed our sis, see how good she is at making money!"

Shi Suifeng responded with pride: Luckily, luckily, she’s just a little smarter — she’s always been learning, after all."

Old Zhou, Old Wu, and Old Zhu turned their heads to see Chu River tossing peanuts in the air and catching them with his mouth...

Always learning?

Ah, that doesn’t seem to fit his demeanor.

...

Don’t be fooled by Shi Suifeng’s casual remarks; in fact, he hadn’t even had time to see what was inside the box.

Gu Ping, on the other hand, chose a spot at the front yard, took out the tracks: "Come, study them, connect them section by section."

The kids immediately plopped down.

And after hesitating a bit, the older gentlemen also joined in.

After a while, Sister-in-law Zhu marveled in awe:

"Is this...a toy train?"

"Yes," Yun Baoni introduced from the side: "This is a remote-controlled electric toy train. Where you lay the tracks, it will go. If you lay the tracks over a step, it will even climb up."

The chassis and track have magnetism, making the ascents and descents super steady.

Chu River thought to himself: As expected of me!

Even with amnesia, I could come up with a roller coaster.

And when the carriages of the green train were taken out one by one, everyone’s breathing became heavy.

Old Zhu was utterly mesmerized, wishing he could snatch the train to play with it a hundred times himself!

Looking at Old Zhou and Old Wu— weren’t they the same?!

The next moment, he was nudged to the side— only to see his two big sons looking at him discontentedly: "Dad, you’re too big, you’re crowding us, move a bit farther."

Old Zhu retreated a step with teary eyes.

Fortunately, due to his height and build, he could still watch the toy train take shape without missing a thing.
