Reborn in the ’80s as a Group Favorite Bigshot – Chapter 143

Chapter 143: No One Believes the Truth Anymore

The next day.

Song Chu announced that the breeding farm’s canteen was officially open, and the workers could have their lunch there.

To celebrate receiving the 20,000 yuan idea fee yesterday, Song Chu had the canteen chefs slaughter several geese to make braised goose.

Not only that, but employees with children could also bring them to the canteen for lunch.

And it didn’t have to be their own children, siblings’ children were also included. Any child in the village could be brought to eat.

Song Chu noticed that most of the children in the village were relatively thin, looking like they weren’t getting enough nutrition, so she decided to help out where she could.

Upon hearing this news, the crowd erupted again.

Not only was Chu Chu capable, but she was also incredibly kind. How could she be so good?

As for the village bully that everyone used to avoid, what was that? They had completely forgotten.

After work at noon, everyone went home to get their bowls and bring their children to the canteen for lunch.

The adults in the village who couldn’t join them for lunch were envious, but they were also very happy, especially those with many children.

Song Chu’s family’s three children also went.

As for some families taking advantage with more children and others losing out with fewer, Song Chu didn’t interfere. She told everyone that today was just about being happy, and not to worry about other things.

Some people were initially a little sour towards those workers with many children, but after hearing Song Chu’s words, that sourness dissipated.

Three people from Old Song’s family worked at the breeding farm, but they only brought three children, one for each of them. In the end, they were the ones losing out, as some people brought seven or eight children.

Since Chu Chu was so generous, they couldn’t be petty.

Under Song Chu’s influence, the atmosphere in the village was getting better and better. At the very least, people’s perspectives and hearts were becoming more open.

Besides braised goose, there was also tomato egg drop soup and stir-fried cabbage.

Song Chu called Song Lao Er to help with the cooking. His cooking was much better than the newly hired canteen chef’s. Everyone ate until their mouths were greasy, and it was as lively as the New Year.

Since joining the breeding farm, they were living a life they never dared to dream of before.

Not only did they receive a monthly salary and benefits, but now they also had a meal at the canteen every day at noon.

Their lives were no worse than those of workers in the city. In fact, their benefits were even better.

All of this was thanks to Song Chu, and everyone was grateful to her from the bottom of their hearts.

Song Chu also had Song Lao Er set aside some food to be delivered to the cowshed after lunch.

Being able to eat braised goose, Song Lao Er worked with extra vigor. After eating, he carried the basket to the cowshed.

The elderly people in the cowshed gathered together, eating, talking, and laughing.

“Chu Chu is such a thoughtful child. Now, whenever there’s something good to eat, she sends some to us,” said one of them.

“She’s also very capable. I heard about how she got those 20,000 yuan. That girl’s mind is so quick and smart,” said another.

“Of course, she’s my apprentice, after all. How could she not be smart and capable?” Old Lu said proudly.

Old Wei also smiled with relief and said, “That’s right, our apprentice is smart.”

Zhao Di said grumpily, “Alright, enough already. We know you have a good apprentice, but don’t flaunt it all the time. It makes my teeth ache.”

“Haha, your apprentice is actually quite smart too. At least, I think he has talent in cooking,” Old Wei laughed.

Old Gu’s eyes were full of smiles as he slowly ate the goose meat.

Although he didn’t say anything, he thought to himself, “Let you guys be smug now. When my grandson marries her, these old guys will be green with envy.”

Yes, Old Gu liked Song Chu very much, and he decided to encourage his grandson to pursue her.

Zhao Di glared at Song Lao Er. “Besides his talent in cooking, how can he compare to Chu Chu? It’s just unbearable to watch.”

◈◈◈

Having spent a lot of time with him, he knew his apprentice’s personality well.

But to be honest, although he complained and scolded him, he still liked Song Lao Er. After all, this kid was genuine in front of him.

He never hid his laziness or tendency to cut corners, unlike his other apprentices who reported him. They pretended to be honest, but they were actually deceitful.

The other elderly people also knew Zhao Di’s personality. They knew he could scold his apprentice, but if anyone else did, he would definitely not stand for it. He was very protective.

Song Lao Er also knew his master’s personality. He said with a grin, “It doesn’t matter if I can’t compare. She’s my sister anyway.”

“Actually, I was wrong just now. There’s one thing Chu Chu can’t compare to you in,” Zhao Di said, exasperated by his shamelessness.

Song Lao Er looked up and asked, “What?”

His Little Sister couldn’t compare to him in something? How come he didn’t know?

“Thick skin. Your skin is definitely thicker than Chu Chu’s,” Zhao Di said exasperatedly.

Song Lao Er rolled his eyes. “Master, you’re wrong about that. My sister’s skin is actually thicker than mine.”

This was absolutely true.

But the elderly people present didn’t believe him. Chu Chu was such a smart, capable, polite, and modest child. How could she have thick skin? She was still a girl. Song Lao Er really deserved a beating.

Then they lectured him, telling him not to talk nonsense. His master scolded him the most fiercely.

“…” Song Lao Er felt utterly defeated. No one believed the truth anymore. What kind of world was this!

On the other side, Song Chu brought all the collected goose down home.

This was also an important reason why she had people slaughter geese instead of chickens today.

After washing, drying, and processing it, she asked her mother to help make two men’s down jackets.

The fabric used was also dark blue, similar to the color of winter cotton-padded coats.

The size was based on Song Lao Da. It was better to be bigger since it could still be worn. If it was too small, it would be a problem.

Tang Feng didn’t ask her daughter what she was going to do with them and started making them directly.

She now enjoyed making clothes more and more, like when her great-grandmother taught her.

“By the way, Mom, I’m going on a business trip to the province next week. When I come back, you can probably go to work at the clothing factory,” Song Chu said.

That day, after she signed the contract with the clothing factory, Director Luo offered to have her mother teach the workers how to make down jackets.

Song Chu took the opportunity to ask if her mother could stay at the factory afterward, even as a temporary worker. She mainly wanted to find something for her mother to do.

Director Luo wanted to build a good relationship with Song Chu, and her mother’s down jackets were indeed very good. He was more than happy to agree and did so without hesitation.

Moreover, he promised that she would be a regular worker directly. Since Tang Feng had the skills and would specifically teach the workers how to make clothes, no one would object.

Tang Feng was very happy when she heard Song Chu’s report. She felt that she had finally found her purpose in life.

However, she didn’t immediately go out to show off, fearing that she might jinx it. She planned to wait until she officially started working before coming back to boast.

This was her precious daughter helping her get into the clothing factory as a regular worker. Other families had parents helping their children, but only in her family did the daughter help her mother. This was enough for her to be proud of and brag about for a long time.

Song Youfu was also quite happy to know that his wife could go to the city to work as a worker. If his wife hadn’t told him to keep it a secret, he would have gone out to brag about it as soon as he heard the news.
