Chapter 146: No Intention to Hide Her Talents

She was simply too curious to refuse, and only after the car started moving did she realize that driving a vehicle at this time required immense strength; otherwise, the job would be impossible, starting with the steering wheel having no power assist, making it incredibly heavy.

Shifting gears required two presses of the clutch because the transmission lacked synchronizers; to shift from first to second gear, one had to press the clutch to engage neutral, then press the clutch again before shifting from neutral into second gear, which was truly troublesome.

Setting aside other things, without strength, one probably wouldn't even be able to start the car.

Fu Yan Cheng never expected this little girl to be so bold, actually managing to start the car, and after driving a lap, he could barely hear the gears grinding during shifts: "Little girl, not bad, you really have some skill."

In these years, the fuel consumption of such a large truck was enormous; after driving two laps to satisfy her craving, she stopped the car.

Fu Yan Cheng smiled at her: "Why aren't you driving anymore?"

"Being able to touch it and satisfy my craving is already enough; besides, we've been here quite some time, and if we don't return soon, someone might come looking for us."

Fu Yan Cheng felt even more determined to win Chuxue in his heart; this little girl was truly remarkable, keeping her composure in danger was one thing, but her learning ability was even more astonishing.

When he first learned to drive, it took him an entire afternoon, yet she managed to drive forward in just over half an hour.

Her ability to get the hang of it so quickly was inseparable from Chuxue's spiritual power and super memory; anyway, she would gradually reveal her super memory later and had no intention of hiding her talents.

As the two left the drying ground, Chuxue became cautious: "You go back first; I need to handle some matters."

The words had barely left her mouth when she felt somewhat unscrupulous and quickly added an explanation: "I need to go to Ninth Uncle's place to check if the door and window frames are finished."

Fu Yan Cheng naturally guessed her thoughts; some things couldn't be rushed, and besides, this little girl wasn't even eighteen yet, so it was better to take it slow to avoid scaring her: "Alright, you go; I'll head over myself."

When Chuxue arrived at Ninth Uncle Liu's house, she saw the father and son working feverishly: "Ninth Uncle, you've already made three window frames?"

Ninth Uncle Liu's youngest son looked resentful: "He woke me up at four; how could it not be fast?"

Chuxue didn't expect them to get up so early: "Ninth Uncle, there's no need to rush like this; you mustn't tire yourselves out."

Ninth Uncle laughed: "There's no choice; at the end of the month, a family in Ge Lizhuang is getting married, and they asked me to make furniture. Their second daughter-in-law is related to your Ninth Aunt, so I couldn't refuse; I can only work overtime to finish your door and window frames first so it doesn't affect your moving into the new house."

"By the way, Chuxue, there's something Uncle wants to discuss with you."

"What is it? Please speak."

"The furniture design drawings you gave before, could you sell them to me?"

After speaking, he looked at Chuxue quite embarrassed: "Here's the situation; yesterday they came to our house and happened to see your cabinet in the storage room, so they wanted to make a cabinet like that too; I just thought to ask."

"Ninth Uncle, given the relationship between our two families, just take it and use it; forget about the money."

"That won't do; the county furniture factory charges sixty or seventy for a single drawing; how could I use your drawings for free?"

After the two haggled for a long time, Ninth Aunt finally came out: "Chuxue, how about this? Whether you take the money or not, don't charge for the two newly made cabinets and these door and window frames; you can't refuse."

"How can that be? That adds up to quite a lot of money."

"With your new designs, even more families will surely come to your uncle to make cabinets; this matter is settled."
