After becoming a stepmother,I transfered the whole family into farming

Chapter 186 Trolley Case

As for the specific operational issues after arriving in the county, Liu Ji handled them himself.

Liu Ji was a little surprised that Qin Yao was so willing to give him the money to build relationships.

Because he found that he understood her a little better.

She has a very vague moral standard and is not bound by secular etiquette. As long as she continues to follow the core of "self-interest" in everything, she can ignore many unimportant details.

Liu Ji guessed that it might be related to her experience of fleeing, otherwise most people would be scared to death when they heard that he wanted to cheat, let alone be calm and supportive to help analyze the situation.

Weighing the silver, Liu Ji sneered in his heart, what is fairness?

Fairness means that if others use connections, you have to use connections too, otherwise it is unfair.

After Liu Ji left, the water mill resumed operation.

However, there were only two workers, Qin Yao and Carpenter Liu. Each of them took turns to work in the factory for three days to prevent others from thinking that the factory had closed down.

However, you rarely see anyone there throughout the day. Usually, once the door is opened, the two of them go back home to take care of household chores.

The Ding clan school is about to start, and Qin Yao is preparing for Dalang and Erlang to go to school.

First, he took the two of them to Xiahe Village to find a driver and agreed on an annual price, which was one tael and five cents for the two children, to be paid every six months. He was first paid the driver for half a year, which was seven hundred and fifty cents.

Now that we have the 'school bus', the next step is to prepare the stationery for school.

No one here uses book bags. Instead, they use book boxes, which are rain and sun proof. They have only one drawback: they are bulky.

Qin Yao went to Liu Dafu's house to take a look at Liu Li's old bookcase. It was not big, half a meter high, thirty centimeters thick and forty centimeters long.

It is a small box divided into several drawers and boxes. The small boxes are for inkstones, pens, and ink sticks, while the large boxes are for books and papers.

There is also a vertical drawer that can hold a small hand warmer for warming your hands. It is very clever.

After looking around, Qin Yao couldn't help but give a thumbs up to the wisdom of the ancients.

But she felt that the light box, when lifted by Dalang and Erlang, was almost half their size.

The child is still growing up. What if he has to carry such a heavy wooden box every day and it affects his growth?

But the cloth bag is not waterproof, and the pens, inkstones, and other things cannot be touched by water and are very delicate.

Dalang and Erlang didn't mind. Instead, they were very happy. After all, it was their first time going to school, and they both thought everything about school was great.

Seeing Qin Yao so worried about this, they were touched, but also a little confused. They felt that things were already very good, but the stepmother seemed always unsatisfied.

Is there any better box than this exquisite bookcase?

"Got it!" Qin Yao slapped her thigh, "Wouldn't a suitcase be the perfect solution to the problem of being bulky?"

Not to mention the wheels, even the pull rod can be made by Carpenter Liu.

Because she had seen the pull-out stool he made, which she usually took with her when she went out to the village to chat, and when her waist got tired, she would pull out the pole and use it as a chair back.

Thinking of this, Qin Yao couldn't wait.

He turned to the confused Dalang and Erlang and said, "Wait, I'll get you something good!"

As he said this, he ran towards the factory like a gust of wind.

She ran so fast that her hair was blown by the wind. At first glance, she looked like a madman running on the road.

Oh, no. Dalang and Erlang hurriedly shook their heads to get rid of this unfilial idea.

"Is mother okay?" Erlang looked at the wind-like woman's back worriedly.

Dalang hissed, not feeling reassured, "I'll go check it out."

Jilang nodded frantically, urging his brother to go quickly.

Dalang went out and chased all the way to the water mill. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Qin Yao dragging Carpenter Liu, who was planing wood, holding a wooden stick. The two were drawing something on the ground. As they drew,

they said excitedly: "Look, just add four more wheels under the box, and then add a telescopic towing rod like your stool, and you can easily pull the heavy wooden box. Tell me if it's ingenious or not!"

Carpenter Liu raised his hand and said, "Give me some time, I'll take my time."

He first put down the tools in his hand, took a deep breath, and calmed his frightened heart that was suddenly pulled over by Qin Yao, then squatted on the ground to study the square picture.

Qin Yao's calligraphy was average, but her drawings were very accurate and had perspective, so Carpenter Liu could usually understand her ideas at a glance.

This time, it was the same. Looking at the shape of the suitcase on the ground, I slapped my thigh excitedly and said, "Why didn't I think of combining these things together?"

He can make wooden wheels, book boxes with mortise and tenon structures, and telescopic rods.

But he just didn't think of combining them to make a draggable box!

Carpenter Liu slapped his thigh in excitement. In just two minutes, his thigh was almost broken. He threw away the work in his hands and started working immediately.

Qin Yao called him several times, but he acted as if he didn't hear her and entered a state of ecstasy.

Knowing that he would not stop until the suitcase was made, Qin Yao smiled slyly, turned around and went to Liu Dafu's house to borrow the old bookcase to save Carpenter Liu some effort. She first made a tow bar and wheels to test the effect.

"Auntie Yao!" Dalang was startled by Qin Yao who suddenly appeared in front of him, but he didn't show it on his face.

Qin Yao looked at him in surprise, "Why are you here?"

Dalang followed her to the village, "I came to see you."

"What are you looking at me for?" Qin Yao looked at him with amusement, and said what the boy was thinking, "Do you and Erlang think I'm crazy?"

"No, absolutely not!" Dalang answered seriously.

Qin Yao laughed and told him to go home. "I'm in good spirits, don't be afraid."

After saying that, he took the fork in the road leading to Liu Dafu's house.

After hearing her words "I'm in good spirits", Dalang breathed a sigh of relief and went home.

In the evening, Qin Yao ran back home, ate a few bites of food in a hurry, and then returned to the water mill with a bowl full of food.

"Carpenter Liu, are you ready?" Before entering the door, he flew in with an urgent question.

Carpenter Liu put away the lever in his hand, turned around and smiled, "As you wish, it's done!"

Qin Yao handed him the food she had packed and walked forward to take a look expectantly.

The original old book box had four semicircular grooves at the bottom for placing wooden wheels. Four palm-sized wooden wheels fit perfectly on top, with a thick round wooden strip in the middle serving as the pivot.

Qin Yao raised her finger and flicked it, and it began to spin, unexpectedly smooth.

Looking at the back of the wooden box, there is an additional rectangular board about seven or eight centimeters thick in the lower middle position, and the two key pull rods are half hidden in this board.

"Try to pull it up." Carpenter Liu urged confidently while eating.

Qin Yao pulled up the pole. It looked like an ordinary rectangular board, but it actually contained a huge world.

When the pull rod is pulled out, it can be firmly fixed at the highest point, which is exactly the same as the effect of fastening the pull rod with a modern buckle.
