Reborn in the ’80s as a Group Favorite Bigshot – Chapter 40

Chapter 40: That’s a Yes

Gu Yue didn’t know what to say. The oil press wasn’t even finished yet.

However, he was indeed curious and interested in the chick incubator. “Let me see the books on this first, then I’ll know if I can make it.”

Song Chu smiled and said, “Of course.”

“Do you want to go in and see now?” She added, “I have nothing to do tonight. I can stay a little longer before going back.”

“You’re not making an effort against your will today?” Gu Yue teased.

Song Chu waved her hand, “I’m in a good mood today, so I won’t make an effort against my will.”

“What? You don’t welcome me?” She raised her eyebrows playfully.

Gu Yue also raised his eyebrows, “Is it you who wants to raise chickens, or is it me?”

Hearing his retort, Song Chu smiled, stood up, and patted his back, “Gu, the Academic God, you’ve worked hard. The chick incubator is up to you.”

Song Chu’s small fist landed on his back, making Gu Yue’s body stiffen. He felt his back getting a little hot.

He immediately stood up and said, “Let’s go look at the books first.”

“Alright, I’ll find them for you first.” Song Chu entered the space library first and found books and materials about incubators in a corner.

“Here they are. Study them carefully.”

Gu Yue took the books and materials, walked to the desk in the space, sat down, and began to read.

Song Chu didn’t disturb him. She took a notebook from the cabinet next to her and started reading.

This cabinet was filled with documents from the base construction in the last days. This notebook was the record of the person in charge of raising chickens at the base.

She brought a notebook and a pen in, ready to record useful information. Later, she would take it to Eldest Maternal Uncle and say that she saw this scientific method of raising chickens in the provincial library.

Otherwise, no one would believe that she could run this chicken farm well without any evidence.

Gu Yue also brought paper and pen in. He took notes while reading and drew the structural diagram and principles of the machine, planning to study it more in the next two days.

Soon, three hours passed. Today, it was already past ten o’clock when the two came out of the space.

Song Chu asked with concern, “How did the reading of the books and materials go?”

Gu Yue pushed up his glasses, “I’ve read most of it.”

“How is it? Can you make it?” Song Chu asked with a smile.

Gu Yue exuded an inherent confidence, “Yes, but we still need to go to the machinery factory to customize it.”

“The chick incubator is not very complicated. The machinery factory in the county town can make it.” He added.

Song Chu’s eyes were full of smiles, “I knew Gu, the Academic God, you could do it.”

“This time, I’m only responsible for drawing the design structure and parts of the chick incubator. You still have to go to the county machinery factory to handle the rest.” Gu Yue only knew people from the Provincial Machinery Factory, but it wasn’t practical to keep going to the provincial capital.

He had never heard of some of the materials for the incubator in the book, so he still needed to research alternative materials.

Song Chu snapped her fingers, “No problem, leave it to me.”

She changed the subject, “But you will definitely need to provide technical guidance then. Otherwise, I’m afraid they won’t be able to make it or it will take a long time.”

Gu Yue nodded, “That’s no problem.”

“How’s your leg recovering?” Song Chu asked.

“It should be completely healed in a few more days.” Gu Yue could now walk a short distance on his own without his leg hurting. “Why do you ask?”

“When your leg is better, I can accompany you to the machinery factory in the provincial capital.” Song Chu said matter-of-factly.

Gu Yue chuckled, “I can go alone.”

◈◈◈

Song Chu said with a smile, “It’s boring to sit on the bus alone for so long. And you’re so beautiful. If you encounter any hooligans, I can help you deal with them. It’s good to have a companion for chatting and a bodyguard.”

In the last days, a man like Gu Yue would not only attract women but also men.

“…” So far, Gu Yue had only encountered one hooligan, and that was Song Chu, who had previously tried to force him to marry her.

And what was this about being “beautiful as a flower”?

“You really have the nerve to say that.”

“What’s there to be embarrassed about?” Song Chu leaned closer, “You just need to answer yes or no. If it’s no, then I’ll go to the provincial capital myself.”

She wanted to go to the provincial capital to see if there was anything useful. She was also curious about the cities of this era, as she had only seen black and white photos before.

Now, going to the provincial capital required a permit from the brigade. Accompanying Gu Yue to the Provincial Machinery Factory to get parts for the oil press was a great reason to ask for leave and get a permit. It was so convenient.

As she got closer, the faint fragrance from her body wafted to his nose. Gu Yue took two steps back, his ears slightly red. He said coolly, “Suit yourself.”

“That’s a yes then.” Song Chu was the best at seizing opportunities, “When you’re better, we’ll go to the brigade to ask for leave. It’s settled then.”

“I’m going back now. You continue to study the incubator carefully. Let’s strive to make it successful in one go.” She took a few steps, turned around, and waved at him.

Gu Yue nodded unnaturally, “Alright, be careful on your way.”

At this time, most of the villagers were asleep. Song Chu turned on her flashlight and walked on the village path.

Suddenly, she noticed a figure standing under a big tree not far away. She shone her flashlight over.

The person was obviously surprised to be discovered by Song Chu. They hurriedly raised a hand to shield themselves and then turned and ran.

Song Chu didn’t chase after them. Her eyesight was very good. She had already seen the person’s face clearly before they raised their hand in the light.

A playful smile appeared on her lips. Her eyes were cold. Fang Yue Lan standing under the tree outside the educated youth’s courtyard so late at night was definitely up to no good.

That woman must be feeling very uncomfortable now, knowing that she had just come out of Gu Yue’s place so late. Thinking of this made her feel much better.

She enjoyed seeing others hate and envy her but be unable to do anything about it.

Song Chu’s guess was correct. Fang Yue Lan ran a long way in one breath. When she realized that Song Chu wasn’t chasing her, she stopped, squatted down, and started to cry softly.

Her life had been very difficult recently. Because of Song Chu and Tang Feng, she was ostracized at home. Her brothers were even colder to her, and her Eldest Brother’s Wife and Second Sister-in-law often scolded her indirectly.

Even her parents made her do more work.

While she was suffering, Song Chu was thriving in the village.

Not only did she kill a wild boar and share the meat with the whole village, but she also set up an oil pressing workshop. Today, some villagers even praised Song Chu, which made her even more jealous and resentful.

Song Chu’s bad reputation in the village was half due to her efforts. She definitely didn’t want to see her reputation improve.

Especially when she heard that Song Chu went to deliver food to Educated Youth Gu every day, she was even more jealous.

Today, when she saw Song Chu enter the educated youth’s place in the evening, she couldn’t help but stand under the big tree outside and wait. But she didn’t expect to wait until so late.

Song Chu actually came out from Educated Youth Gu’s place at this hour. Just thinking of the two of them being in the same room together made her heart ache as if it were being squeezed.

Educated Youth Gu used to hate Song Chu so much, why did he agree to her delivering food?

She was the one who truly loved him. Why couldn’t he see her?

It’s all Song Chu’s fault. Yes, it’s all that shameless woman Song Chu’s fault…
