Reborn in the ’80s as a Group Favorite Bigshot – Chapter 132

Chapter 132: A Waste of Emotion

Big Brother Song is 1.8 meters tall. Because he’s always doing farm work, he has a relatively tall and sturdy build.

Although he’s a bit tanned, the Song family has good genes, so even in the future, he’d definitely be considered a handsome guy, the model type.

Making it according to his size, even if it’s a bit big when taken to the county town, it won’t matter. Otherwise, if it’s made too small and someone tall or chubby comes along, they won’t be able to wear it, and it’ll be a waste.

Big Brother Song didn’t expect Little Sister to call his name. He was overjoyed, “Little Sister has good taste.”

Song Lao Er, Song Lao Si: “…” They definitely don’t agree with that.

Usually, Tang Feng makes the decisions on big matters in the family, but since Song Chu is her precious daughter, the matter was settled.

“Alright, I’ll make it according to Big Brother’s measurements.” Tang Feng walked over and roughly measured Big Brother Song with a tape measure.

Big Brother Song was deeply moved. It seemed like his mother hadn’t made him new clothes in many years, “Thank you, Mom.”

Tang Feng was a little speechless at her foolish son. She gave him a side-eye, “What are you thanking me for? This coat is for Yaobao to take to the clothing factory. It’s not for you.”

Big Brother Song: “…” A waste of emotion.

Song Lao Er and Song Lao Si were also a bit speechless when they heard this. So, the coat is being made but not for them to wear? What a waste of their argument.

Seeing her Big Brother’s lifeless expression, Song Chu chuckled, “Big Brother has been performing very well lately. After I take this down jacket to the clothing factory and discuss things, if I can bring it back, you can wear it.”

Big Brother Song felt that only his little sister was good to him, “Is that okay? It’s fine if I don’t wear it. You should focus on your business.”

Tang Feng said with a bit of disdain, “Yaobao, isn’t it a waste to let Big Brother and the others wear such a nice coat?”

They’re going to feed pigs all day. It’s such a waste to wear this coat.

Of course, it’s also a waste for Lao Er and Lao Si.

Song Youfu added from the side, “That’s right, it’s a waste of good stuff for them to wear it.”

He doesn’t even have one yet, so why should they get to wear it? Humph!

“…” Big Brother Song and his two younger brothers felt their hearts ache. They must be adopted.

Song Chu could clearly see through Old Lady and Old Master’s thoughts. She smiled and said, “It’s fine. This coat is very warm to wear in winter. We’ll each have one when the time comes.”

Suddenly remembering something, she looked at Song Lao Er meaningfully and added, “Of course, it also depends on performance. If someone is still slacking off and not doing their job properly, then they won’t get one.”

Song Youfu particularly supported this point. He glanced at Song Lao Er, “That’s right, whoever doesn’t work properly and drags the family down won’t get anything.”

He now goes out to work every day and is very capable, so it definitely won’t be him.

Whoever drags the family down will not only embarrass Yaobao but also him.

Tang Feng huffed at Song Lao Er, “Not only will he not get one, but if he dares to affect Yaobao, he’ll be kicked out.”

Big Brother Song has always been diligent and this wouldn’t be a problem for him. He looked at Song Lao Er, “I support this.”

Song Lao Si wasn’t slacking off these days either. He was busy running errands outside every day. He glanced at Song Lao Er, “I support this.”

Song Lao Er’s wife and Third Brother’s children also looked at Song Lao Er, “We support this too.”

Song Lao Er’s eyes widened: “…”

Why is everyone looking at him? This is totally targeting him. Who did he offend? He can’t live a good life anymore.

“I’m learning cooking from Master every day,” he said with a wronged expression, feeling like he had the lowest status in the family now.

Song Chu just wanted to keep him in line, “You should learn how to make braised chicken and duck, soy sauce chicken and duck, salt-brined chicken and duck, and oil-preserved fermented tofu from Old Zhao.”

“If you can make them taste good, I’ll give you a special reward.” She felt that her extremely troublesome Second Brother needed a stick-and-carrot approach.

Song Lao Er, who was originally feeling wronged, perked up when he heard the last part, “What reward will you give me?”

◈◈◈

“I’ll buy you a nice set of clothes and take you to every state-run restaurant in the provincial capital.” Song Chu’s Second Brother’s favorite things were eating and dressing up.

As expected, Song Lao Er slapped the table, “Deal! I’ll go find Master tomorrow to learn these.”

“But, Meier, why do we need to learn so many ways to cook chicken and duck? Are we going to change the menu at home?” Song Lao Er looked at Song Chu with anticipation.

Recently, they’ve been having stewed chicken and stir-fried chicken. He also wanted to try the chicken and duck dishes Little Sister mentioned.

Song Chu gave him a look that said ‘get lost’, “You’re overthinking it. I’m planning to have the farm make and sell packaged cooked food, so you’ll have to teach the people there what you learn.”

“By the way, tell Old Zhao about my idea. If he doesn’t agree to share it with the farm, then forget it.”

She paused and said, “If he agrees and wants to eat something, just tell me. I can help find the ingredients.”

Song Lao Er said excitedly, “Why wouldn’t he agree? I’ll go talk to him later.”

If Master has the ingredients, not only can he learn to make them, but he can also mooch some food.

“You can’t force him. It’s his freedom to choose whether to teach or not, got it?” Song Chu warned Song Lao Er.

Song Lao Er nodded furiously, “Got it, got it.”

His little sister overestimated him. With his Master’s stubborn temper, even if he wanted to force him, he’d need his cooperation.

Song Youfu and the others couldn’t sit still any longer and went out to chat. Tang Feng didn’t go out and started making the men’s down jacket with the cloth and down.

Song Chu also didn’t go out and sat beside her.

Three days later, the men’s down jacket was also finished. It was also a mid-length style.

Big Brother Song tried it on. The dark gray fabric might have looked a bit plain if made into a cotton-padded coat, but as a down jacket, with some detailed designs added by Tang Feng, it looked very stylish and made him look very energetic.

Seeing Big Brother Song wearing the down jacket, Song Lao Er and Song Lao Si were itching to try it on too. They insisted he take it off so they could try it.

Although it was a size bigger, it still looked quite good.

With the down jacket finished, Song Chu went to the county town the next day.

Coincidentally, Gu Yue needed to go to the Steel Factory to check on the newly produced material, so they went together.

This time, Song Chu also brought Song Lao Si and Song Ping. They rode one bicycle together.

Song Chu rode her Eldest Maternal Uncle’s bicycle. Gu Yue, because he often needed to go to the Steel Factory and the County Machinery Factory for guidance, bought his own bicycle.

“Do you want to buy a bicycle too? I can help you get a ticket,” Gu Yue said as he rode.

He felt that it was more convenient to have one’s own bicycle. Song Chu didn’t lack money, she lacked the ticket.

Song Chu turned her head and smiled at him, “I don’t want to buy one. Gu, the Academic God, I’m waiting for your electric scooter.”

She felt it was necessary to bring electric vehicles into existence earlier. Besides being fast and convenient, they could also drive the development of storage batteries.

Currently, storage battery technology is still in its initial stages and is not as widely used as in later generations.

This thing has a very wide range of applications and can be used in many areas. Bringing it out early has many benefits.
