Translator: 549690339

Qin Xue was glad she came to the right place and didn’t waste her walk.

“Aunt Li, I want to ask Uncle Li to make me a small cart. I don’t know if Uncle Li is at home?” Qin Xue took the drawing from her bag and showed it to Aunt Li, explaining her purpose.

“He’s here, come on in.” Aunt Li looked at the drawing Qin Xue made and had never seen such a beautiful cart.

Qin Xue followed Aunt Li into the yard. One of the best things about rural homes was having a courtyard for planting vegetables and raising chickens and ducks.

“Honey, someone is looking for you.” Aunt Li called from the courtyard into the house.

In no time, a middle-aged man with a bowl of rice appeared at the door.

Li Xiang was also a little surprised to see Qin Xue, as he thought at first she was from the village.

He didn’t even put the bowl down before coming out, as it was common among the villagers who were all acquaintances.

But seeing that Qin Xue was not from the village, he thought it was a bit rude.

“Wait a moment, please.” Li Xiang turned and quickly ate the rice, only coming back out after putting the bowl away.

Qin Xue didn’t expect them to be having dinner at this time.

What Qin Xue didn’t know was that rural households here didn’t have breakfast. They would do some work early in the morning to avoid the sun, then go home around nine o’clock to eat.

That policy was gradually changing, otherwise Li Xiang wouldn’t dare to take this job even if Qin Xue asked..

“Miss, what can I do for you?” Li Xiang was unsure how to address Qin Xue, so he called her “Miss” to be polite.

Li Xiangs polite attitude gave Qin Xue a good impression of him.

Later, Qin Xue drew some furniture designs for him, and they split the profit 70% Li Xiang and 30% Qin Xue, after the cost. But that’s another story for later.

“Uncle Li, I was introduced by Mrs. Fang of the research institute’s family. She said you made tables and chairs for her and that your carpentry work is good, so I wanted to ask you to make me two small carts. Here are the designs; please take a look.” Qin Xue handed Li Xiang two drawings.

Li Xiang took a look and was greatly impressed. He hadn’t come up with anything new for years and had only ever made wooden items for the village. Now that the policy was more relaxed, he welcomed new ideas.

“Miss, did you draw these?” Although Li Xiang was asking, his tone indicated that he believed Qin Xue drew the images, as not everyone had the confident smile on her face.

“Yes, I did,” Qin Xue said with a smile.

“May I ask what the small cart is for?” Li Xiang didn’t know because he had never seen such a cart.

Moreover, Qin Xue didn’t draw the seat of the cart, not because she was afraid Li Xiang would learn and make money from it, but because she wanted to use cloth for the seat to be soft and not hurt the child’s thighs.

That’s why the overall look was different due to the missing part.

Li Xiang hadn’t seen it, so naturally, he wouldn’t understand its purpose.

“Oh, it’s a toddler’s walker,” Qin Xue replied with a smile.

“A walker? How does it work?” Li Xiang asked Qin Xue enthusiastically.

“Well, Uncle Li, I can’t explain its usage right now.

How about you make it according to the drawings first, then I will tell you the specific usage. What do you think?” It’s hard for Qin Xue to explain without a physical item.

“Alright, come pick it up the day after tomorrow.” Li Xiang said this because it was his first time making this cart and he was not familiar with it, and there were two of them. Otherwise, she could have picked them up tomorrow afternoon.

“Uncle Li, how much deposit do you need? I’ll give it to you.” Qin Xue knew that when making items, it was customary to charge a deposit to prevent people from not paying for the finished product..
