Chapter 474 Little Foodie's Preparation for School

For people of this generation, it is very easy to satisfy them and they are basically happy as long as they have enough food to eat.

For most young children, being able to eat snacks is great, let alone expensive ice cream.

Only Chen Feng was willing to spend money to buy it.

Ordinary middle- and high-income groups may not be able to afford several buckets of ice cream a week, as that costs money!

After resting for a while, Chen Feng was ready to get up and cook dinner, but the old lady didn't let him do it.

"You just finished your exam. It must have exhausted you. Take a good rest. Grandma will be here soon."

"Grandma, that little exam means nothing to me." Chen Feng knew that the old lady felt sorry for him, but he didn't want to give up completely and become a parasite.

The key is that lying down is so boring!

There is no Douyin to watch videos or Xiaohongshu to see bikinis.

How to kill the boring days?

He began to understand why Hu Bayi liked tomb-robbing adventures!

I am used to the life-threatening, passionate and thrilling life, and I am not used to the dull life!

"Go for a swim and wait for grandma to prepare the meal." The old lady took out the "Chen and Tan Family Recipe" written by Chen Feng and took a special look at it to make sure she would not make any mistakes.

Chen Feng made some modifications to the recipe to suit his own conditions.

The Tan family’s cuisine is delicious, but it requires too much hardware, which ordinary families simply cannot afford.

"Little Lily, come out quickly and see what your uncle has brought you!"

Cai Jiaxing said as he stood at the door of the warehouse holding a small wooden boat.

"Oh my God, a boat!" Fatty Wang exclaimed, as if he had seen a living god. His acting was so exaggerated!

"Mine, mine!"

The little girl happily ran out of the swimming pool, and while running towards the door, she declared her sovereignty to prevent Chen Hao, Fatty Wang and others from snatching her away.

She was definitely overthinking it!

Such a small thing can't support Chen Hao's body at all.

If he sits on it, the boat will definitely capsize!

Chen Feng walked over and handed him a cigarette.

"Sorry to bother Uncle Cai."

The boat is about one meter long, thirty centimeters at its widest point, and thirty centimeters deep to ensure a stable center of gravity. Cai Jiaxing also specially made a stool. There are two small oars on the sides of the stool, which are buckled in fixed iron rings.

The materials used are not much, but this thing is actually very troublesome to stop.

It is mainly made of wooden boards and needs to be waterproof.

This more or less involves the ancient hull-making craftsmanship of three grays and two hemps.

"What's the problem?" Cai Jiaxing said with a smile, "Your father gave me three pounds of pork, which is more valuable than these pieces of wood."

"Uncle Cai, will the wooden board leak water?" Chen Feng watched Chen Li put the boat on the pool, then happily sat on it and started rowing in the pool.

"No, your father gave me a big bottle of glue, and I poured it all in. I also added a layer of resin and tung oil. After it dried, I tried it several times. The waterproof effect is very good."

"Cauldron, cauldron, come rowing."

Chen Li shouted happily and waved her hands non-stop. Soon the boat arrived at the pool near the entrance.

"Well, little Lily rows very fast."

Chen Feng said with a smile.

The little girl won’t have many good days left. In three days, the sports school’s summer tutoring classes for children will officially open.

I heard that this is mainly because the teachers also need to take a vacation, so there is this window period.

Otherwise, the little girl would have gone to school.

"Xiao Feng, I heard that you skipped a grade. Are you going to high school this year?" Cai Jiaxing was smoking and chatting under the grape trellis.

"Well, I will go to high school next semester, but I will probably study at home. It would be a waste of time for me to go to school." Chen Feng replied with a smile.

He wasn't pretending, going to school was pure self-abuse.

"That's right. You've already learned it. Why bother going there?" Cai Jiaxing agreed. "Your stone carving is pretty good. It's better to practice these useful skills at home when you have time than to waste them at school."

Chen Feng looked at the unfinished stone sculpture placed beside the sink in the warehouse, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

I don’t know if it was Chen Li or Fatty Wang who did the trick but painted images of Zhu Bajie, Monkey King, a big fat horse, a big turtle and other symbols on the stone sculpture.

Fortunately, it was just a rough cloth carving, the lower body was not completed, and the face was not expressed in detail.

"Just to practice."

After talking with Cai Jiaxing for a few words, the neighbor went back to secretly making boxes and stools.

When getting married in the city, people usually require eighteen, twenty-four, or thirty-six legs (the number of legs for tables and stools), but they are more expensive in stores, so many people prefer to buy them on the black market or pigeon market in private.

Cai Jiaxing made these things privately and sold them on the black market to supplement his family income.

On the contrary, in the countryside, there is no shortage of stools and tables.

Later generations believed that a few boxes and a quilt were enough to make the bride happy.

The quilt, yes, but the box is not really like that!

Because there is a lot of wood in the countryside, and many people know some simple carpentry skills, they cut the wood themselves and do everything themselves. They even build their own houses. Why would they need to buy stools or tables?

Although the stools, tables and other things are not painted or oiled, and are not as good as those made by city carpenters, the wood in the mountains is free!

The problem is that they don’t dare to sell it in!

During dinner, Zhou Qing asked Chen Jianjun which high school would be best for his son to attend.

"Don't worry about it. If his grades are good, Renmin University High School will take the initiative to look for him."

Chen Feng smiled. He had controlled his scores well. Although he passed the score line of No. 5 Middle School, he was still a little short of famous high schools such as Renmin University High School and No. 4 Middle School.

No. 5 Middle School is not a good school, but having poor academic performance does have other advantages.

For example, the teachers also collectively gave up!

Let’s change to National Taiwan University High School. Why don’t you try not going to school?

The principal will come to talk to you in person!

I'm so annoyed by you!

"By the way, Lily needs a beautiful schoolbag for school." Chen Jianjun said to Zhou Qing, "Why don't we buy a new one? We also need to buy a pen."

He went to the store to check it out and found that the new schoolbag was indeed better looking than the ones he made at home.

Many new school bags have five-pointed stars embossed on the outside, and they are made of cowhide, which is square and children like very much. Old calfskin backpack "No need to buy pens, Xiaofeng gave her a lot, including pencils, red and blue colored pens, and straw paper." Zhou Qing counted the poultry and said, "The school bag can be directly sewn with a few pieces of cloth, and the sewing machine can be done in a short time."

"You already have pens and paper, so don't buy new ones and waste money."

"The sports school is right outside the gate. I pick her up every day at noon."

"You don't have to. The old man and I will take turns going." The old lady interrupted.

Chen Li was eating meat and wanted to say that she wanted to buy a new schoolbag.

My second brother’s schoolbag is so ugly!

"Mom, Zhu Zhu's schoolbags are all bought."

"Schoolbags are used to carry books. Why do they need to be made of cowhide?" Zhou Qing discouraged her daughter from showing off.

Fatty Wang whispered, "Cloth schoolbags break easily. My previous schoolbag broke after one semester. Auntie, cowhide schoolbags never break."

"Yeah, Mom, cowhide school bags are especially good." Chen Hao strongly recommended.

"Then buy it yourself!" Zhou Qing knew very well that his second son had taken a lot of pocket money from his eldest son, which was originally used to buy a car.

Now that the money for the bicycle has been paid by his elder son, his small nest egg is enough for him to afford the leather schoolbag.
