Reborn in the ’80s as a Group Favorite Bigshot – Chapter 125

Chapter 125: I’ll Accompany You

Gu Yue could see that Song Chu was quite interested in going to the County Economic Office.

“Would it be appropriate for me, a technical consultant, to go along?” It wasn’t that he couldn’t handle economic work, but he was more skilled in and preferred technical work.

Song Chu said matter-of-factly, “Why wouldn’t it be? Without you, many things wouldn’t be possible.”

“I believe in you, Gu, the Academic God.” She looked at him with bright, trusting eyes.

Gu Yue had originally had no interest in going to the county town and had even turned down his cousin and Sheng Qingyang.

But meeting Song Chu’s gaze, he found himself saying, “Alright, if you want to go, then I’ll accompany you.”

A brilliant smile bloomed on Song Chu’s beautiful face. She took Gu Yue’s arm and shook it, “I knew Gu, the Academic God, you’re the best.”

“Sigh, I wonder what kind of woman will be lucky enough to have such a great man like you in the future.” She sighed dramatically, looking at Gu Yue’s handsome face with a hint of regret.

Gu Yue, who had been momentarily dazzled by her smile, was speechless: “…”

“Ahem, who knows what the future holds? I’m not interested in other women anyway,” he said, clearing his throat.

Song Chu’s eyes widened in surprise. “Not interested in women? Gu, the Academic God, are you saying you like men?”

In the apocalypse, there were many same-sex relationships, so she wasn’t looking down on it, just very surprised.

“…” Gu Yue suddenly felt like coughing up blood.

He couldn’t help but tap her on the head. “Song Xiaochu, what are you thinking about all day? How could I possibly like men?”

“It’s just that I haven’t developed any interest or feelings for other women. Don’t overthink it,” he emphasized.

Song Chu blinked. “I didn’t think you were that type.”

“Of course not,” Gu Yue said helplessly.

This woman’s train of thought was too wild; it had startled him.

He thought for a moment and asked, “So when are you planning to go to the County Economic Office? Sheng Qingyang said that as soon as you agree, he’ll immediately send you an invitation.”

Song Chu considered, “There’s no rush. I need to get the pig farm settled and wait for you to finish building the vacuum packaging machine before I can let go.”

“What are your plans for the pig farm? Will you hand it over to someone else?”

Gu Yue knew that Song Chu wasn’t someone who liked to hold onto power. Since she had chosen to go to the County Economic Office, she probably wouldn’t continue as the director of the pig farm.

Song Chu thought for a moment and said, “I’ll train a few key people in the coming days and let them compete for the position. Whoever has the management ability can take over.”

She had never intended to manage the pig farm indefinitely; it was just her starting point.

Coming to this era by chance, she didn’t want to just drift along. She wanted to do something for this country and its people.

Having been here for a while, she felt it deeply. She saw countless people striving on the front lines, wanting to contribute, hoping that the country could become prosperous and strong.

The newspapers reported on real people and real events that had made significant contributions, which were truly admirable.

This was why she was interested in Sheng Qingyang’s invitation. First, develop the economy of Nan County, then drive the development of Nan Province, and then radiate out to the whole country.

She also wanted to put Gu Yue’s research on machinery and other things into practical use. After all, technology is the primary productive force.

Gu Yue nodded. “That’s true. I think Song Ping and Tang Youhua are both quite capable.”

◈◈◈

“Yes, I think they’re good too. But we’ll see how they perform and what they choose. I’ll focus on training them in the near future,” Song Chu said.

“As long as you have a plan,” Gu Yue knew that Song Chu had a good handle on these things.

After their discussion, Gu Yue went into Song Chu’s space again to continue reading books and materials related to vacuum packaging technology.

In the following days, the villagers gradually began to harvest the vegetables they had planted using the wooden frames.

Song Chu had Tang Qing and the others help with the harvest. Those who wanted to take their vegetables to the county town to exchange for goods could register, and Tang Qing’s group would handle it.

Many villagers chose to exchange their vegetables in the county town. Song Chu’s family also took advantage of this, but their vegetables were sent to Boss Hu.

Several factories in the county town, having exchanged for vegetables, saw an improvement in their canteen’s dishes. Sheng Qingyang took the opportunity to arrange for the promotion of the one-meter vegetable garden.

Many factories, influenced by the promotion, chose to plant vegetables. After all, there were many empty spaces in the factories, so they might as well plant vegetables. It could serve as a benefit for the workers and improve their lives.

People in the city who had balconies or yards also started to grow vegetables this way, solving many problems of vegetable scarcity.

At the same time, Xiaba Village gradually became known. Everyone knew that this method of growing vegetables originated from this village.

The commune leaders specifically mentioned Xiaba Village for praise during a meeting. When Tang Min returned from the meeting, he brought back a reward from the commune.

This reward was given to Song Youfu, as he was the one who took the lead in planting with wooden frames and provided technical guidance.

The commune also wanted Song Youfu to help guide other villages so that they could all start planting.

Song Youfu held the rewarded towel and ceramic cup, his eyes welling up with tears. This was the first time in his life that he had been recognized in such a way.

“I will not let the organization down. From now on, I am like a brick, I will go wherever I am needed,” he wiped his eyes and said to Tang Min with determination.

Tang Min smiled and patted his shoulder, “Good job.”

He found that since his niece had changed for the better, his sister’s family had also changed a lot. Even his brother-in-law, who had never had a sense of presence, could now do things. He was very happy and gratified.

Song Chu also noticed that, without realizing it, her timid father, who was afraid of his wife, had become much more cheerful. So, whether it’s a man or a woman, they need to have their own career or find meaningful things to do in life.

Comrade Song Youfu quickly threw himself into the work of guiding various villages, which made Tang Feng feel a bit uncomfortable.

She wasn’t jealous of the old man, but seeing him busy and becoming more energetic day by day, she felt a bit idle and wanted to do something that would gain recognition and not hold back her precious daughter.

Song Chu had always been very attentive to her mother and immediately noticed Old Lady’s thoughts.

One day, seeing her mother sewing clothes, Song Chu went over and looked closely, “Mom, your sewing skills are really good.”

This was the cloth that the pig farm had exchanged for this month as a benefit, and her mother insisted on making clothes for her.

Originally, she thought her mother’s craftsmanship would be similar to that of other old ladies in the village, but upon closer inspection, she found that her mother had tailored the shirt with a waist, and the collar and sleeves were also specially treated. It would probably look better and more stylish when worn.

Tang Feng smiled and said, “Of course, I was the most skillful in the village back then. Your grandparents’ and uncles’ clothes were all made by me.”

“Mom, you’re amazing.” Song Chu suddenly thought of how to let Old Lady shine.
