Reborn in the ’80s as a Group Favorite Bigshot – Chapter 144

Chapter 144: He Understands

Because of previous experience, the men’s down jackets didn’t need to be tailored or anything, so this time it took Tang Feng five days to make them.

“Yaobao, I’ve finished the clothes, take a look and see if they’re okay.”

Song Chu looked at the two down jackets and praised with a smile, “They’re great, Mom, your tailoring skills are really good.”

“I mainly just really enjoy making clothes.” Tang Feng smiled widely.

Song Chu nodded, “The most important thing in anything is to enjoy it yourself. Mom, just go for it in the future.”

“Alright, with your support, I’m motivated.” Tang Feng held her hand affectionately.

She asked, “When are you leaving for your business trip?”

“The day after tomorrow, Educated Youth Gu has already bought the train tickets, but we’re going to the provincial capital tomorrow.” Song Chu replied.

She had already gotten a certificate from her eldest maternal uncle in the village, allowing her to stay outside for about ten days.

Tang Feng said with a bit of heartache, “It must take a long time to travel by train, you’ll have a hard time.”

Song Chu reassured her, “This time Educated Youth Gu bought sleeper tickets, so it won’t be too hard, Mom, don’t worry.”

Gu Yue really had connections, managing to get several sleeper tickets in one go.

Tang Feng said with a satisfied smile, “Educated Youth Gu is really a good person, Yaobao, you should hold on tight.”

“Why don’t you stop playing him and just let him be my son-in-law? I think he’s pretty good.” She held Song Chu’s hand.

Now she saw that her daughter and Educated Youth Gu had a very good relationship, and Educated Youth Gu was good-looking, capable, and seemed to have a good temper, able to put up with her daughter. He was the ideal candidate for a son-in-law.

He was much better than those dark-skinned guys in the village.

She had also seen many young men in the county town, but after comparing them, she still felt that Educated Youth Gu was much more outstanding.

Being reminded of this, Song Chu remembered that in front of her mother, in order to maintain her persona, she had boasted about playing Gu Yue.

She said with a wry smile, “I don’t want to talk about marriage now, my heart is on my career, so let’s just go with the flow.”

Tang Feng thought for a moment and said, “Mom also can’t bear to see you marry so early, but you should still hold on tight to a good man. I think highly of Educated Youth Gu.”

Besides being excellent in all aspects, the key was that her daughter had always liked Gu Yue.

Now there were still many people in the village whispering in her ear, saying that the two were a perfect match, and she increasingly felt the same way.

Song Chu didn’t know what to say, so she just said casually, “Yeah, we’ll talk about it later.”

Her mother didn’t know that that aloof and unattainable man was most afraid of her developing feelings for him and trying to force him into something.

But she couldn’t say that, or her mother would probably start to dislike Gu Yue.

“It’s good as long as you know what you’re doing.” Tang Feng was still quite open-minded about her daughter’s marriage.

Song Chu nodded, “Yeah.”

Afraid that her mother would continue to dwell on this topic, she made an excuse and left.

In the afternoon, she called Tang Youhua and Tang Wei to her office.

“Educated Youth Gu has already helped buy the train tickets for the day after tomorrow, and they’re sleeper tickets, so you should also pack up and bring one or two changes of clothes.”

“Because we need to go to the provincial capital to catch the train, we’ll leave tomorrow and stay in the provincial capital for one night.”

Song Chu thought about it and decided to take the two of them along, so they could also see the big city.

Tang Youhua and Tang Wei nodded excitedly, “Okay, we’ll pack tonight.”

In their entire lives, the farthest they had ever been was the county town. They had never even been to the provincial capital, let alone another province.

They had never taken a train either. This time, they were completely benefiting from the farm and Song Chu.

“Director, thank you for giving us this opportunity.” Tang Wei’s hands were sweaty. Song Chu was the benefactor in his life.

He was especially grateful for her recognition and nurturing, and he had been studying very hard recently.

Song Chu said with a smile, “It’s also because you performed well that you earned this opportunity. Otherwise, with so many people on the farm, why would I choose you over others?”

◈◈◈

“So you need to have confidence in yourself.”

“You can also bring some money with you. You can buy some things for your family in the provincial capital. Some things don’t require ration coupons, and they don’t have them in the county town.” She added.

Tang Youhua and Tang Wei nodded vigorously, “Yeah, you’re so thoughtful.”

It was rare to go on a long trip, so it was necessary to bring back some things for their families.

If Song Chu hadn’t mentioned it, they wouldn’t have thought of it. When they got to the provincial capital, it would be embarrassing and unfortunate if they wanted to buy something but didn’t have enough money.

Song Chu talked to them for a while longer, and then let them go back.

Gu Yue went to the county machinery factory for technical guidance today, since he would be away for at least a week.

He had previously talked to Sheng Qingyang about the vacuum packaging machine, and got his support.

With Sheng Qingyang’s encouragement and help, the county machinery factory agreed to purchase a batch of new machinery and equipment, and Gu Yue helped facilitate the deal.

The equipment had arrived at the county machinery factory a few days ago, and Gu Yue had gone over to help with the debugging and teach the workers how to use it.

The steel factory had also produced enough of the new material needed to make the vacuum packaging machine. Sheng Qingyang used some of his family’s connections and shamelessly went to the provincial machinery factory to borrow a few technicians to help.

So the vacuum packaging machine was already being manufactured at the county machinery factory, but it still couldn’t do without Gu Yue.

When he returned from the county town, it was already after work hours.

Entering the office, Song Chu asked with a smile, “How did the guidance go? You’ll be away for more than a week. They shouldn’t have any problems, right?”

She was quite concerned about the vacuum packaging machine.

Gu Yue sat down and poured himself a glass of water, “What I explained to them should take them at least a week to figure out. There shouldn’t be any problems.”

“When we get there, I’ll find a chance to call and check on the situation.”

Song Chu nodded, “That’s good.”

“Have you packed your things?” She asked.

Gu Yue smiled and said, “I’ll pack tonight. I’ll buy some things tomorrow in the provincial capital.”

He wanted to buy some thick blankets and clothes for his father and older brother, as well as some nutritional supplements.

It was too much trouble to buy them in the county town, and it was difficult to carry them, so he planned to buy them in the provincial capital.

Song Chu took out a bag from under her desk and handed it to him, “Remember to take this with you tomorrow.”

Gu Yue took the bag a little puzzled. He opened it and saw two men’s down jackets inside. He immediately understood what she meant.

“These are for my dad and my brother?”

Song Chu nodded with a smile, “That’s right. I used goose down this time and asked my mom to make these down jackets. They’re even warmer than duck down.”

“I can’t go empty-handed to visit your dad and your brother.” He heard that the winters there were colder than in Nan County, so she thought of this gift.

“Song Xiaochu, thank you.” Gu Yue’s grip on the bag tightened, and his heart felt warm. She was really thoughtful.

Song Chu waved her hand with a smile, “No need to thank me. I trouble you often enough. I’m not polite with you, so you don’t have to be either.”

After saying that, she lowered her head and started packing up her things to get off work.

Gu Yue looked at her, a tenderness he wasn’t even aware of filling his deep eyes, “Yeah, I won’t be polite with you either.”

Being too polite would create distance, and there was really no need for that between them. He understood.
