Reborn in the ’80s as a Group Favorite Bigshot – Chapter 5

Chapter 5: Who Would Dare Marry Her?

Song Chu walked over, took the bowl out of the basket, and handed it to him.

“Eat, I’ll come back for the bowl tomorrow!”

Looking at the food in the bowl, Gu Yue was a little surprised. There was even steamed egg.

He looked up at Song Chu and found that the infatuation and obsession in her eyes had indeed disappeared, which put him at ease a little.

Otherwise, he would rather not study the things in his mind than let her take the opportunity to pester him into marrying her.

He pointed to the grain coupons and ten yuan on the table, “Take this, it’s for food expenses. I’ll give you more if it’s not enough.”

He didn’t want to owe Song Chu any favors, preferring to spend a little more money.

Most of the educated youths in the educated youth spot ate together, putting their food together and taking turns cooking.

Because he often had to secretly deliver food to Grandfather, he cooked separately. Now that his leg was inconvenient, he didn’t want to trouble the other educated youths.

Song Chu walked to the table, picked up the grain coupons and money, and put them in her pocket. “Alright, if you give more, I won’t let you go hungry!”

Seeing the high school math and Chinese textbooks on the table, she smiled, “You’re quite diligent and studious.”

Gu Yue glanced at the textbooks on the table, “Maybe the Gaokao will be reinstated. It’s better to be prepared by reading more.”

Song Chu learned from the original owner’s memory that this should be a parallel time and space to the one she lived in before. Except for the names of some well-known figures, the course of development and events were almost the same.

“Do you think the Gaokao will be reinstated?” she asked casually.

Gu Yue smiled, “I don’t know if it will be reinstated, but I just feel that if the country wants to develop, it can’t rely solely on those who graduated from worker-peasant-soldier universities.”

In the past two years, policies had become much more relaxed. If the country started to vigorously promote construction again, it would definitely need talent. Therefore, he felt that the Gaokao would be reinstated one day.

Song Chu found that this person was not only highly intelligent but also very far-sighted. “That’s true. I’ll find some high school textbooks to read sometime.”

Before the apocalypse, she had a doctorate in biology. She still had some impression of middle school history. The Gaokao was reinstated in 1977, and it was already 1975.

Although the apocalypse tested human nature severely, exposing the most selfish and darkest aspects of humanity, where there was evil, there was also justice and courage.

From the beginning of the apocalypse, the military went everywhere to rescue people and established several major bases for human survival, dedicated to helping more people survive. They did not exclude ordinary people. As long as one was not lazy and worked hard, they would be given a chance to survive.

Back then, many soldiers sacrificed themselves to protect researchers like her on their way to the base. On the road, she also saw some of them sacrifice themselves to rescue and protect ordinary people.

Later, she worked at the base’s research institute and was also responsible for helping with base construction, so she had a deep understanding of this.

Suddenly coming to this poor and backward era, maybe she could do something more meaningful.

Gu Yue was a little surprised to hear her say this. He thought for a moment and tentatively asked, “Don’t you have high school textbooks in your library?”

Song Chu laughed, “The library is full of specialized books, not textbooks.”

“Are there any specialized books on mathematics, physics, and chemical engineering?” A glimmer of light appeared in Gu Yue’s usually calm eyes.

Song Chu nodded, “Yes.”

She didn’t say much, planning to keep this guy in suspense. “You eat first, I have to go home for dinner too.”

Gu Yue didn’t push it. He had plenty of time to find out. “Alright.”

Song Chu left the educated youth spot and went home.

It was almost time for work to end, so everyone in the family was home except for her fourth older brother, Song Lao Si （Song Jianxing）, who was off who knows where.

Seeing Song Chu stroll back slowly, her eldest sister-in-law, Luo Qiuju, pursed her lips. The whole family had to wait for this little sister to come back before eating. She was just a money-losing burden. She didn’t know what the Old Lady was thinking, doting on her so much every day.

◈◈◈

Of course, she only dared to think this in her heart. On the surface, she still had to smile and say, “Xiao Mei is back. Where did you go to play today? We were so busy in the fields.”

This was a clear attempt to sow discord at home. They were working hard, but Little Sister only knew how to go out and play.

Sure enough, Song Youfu frowned at Song Chu, “If you didn’t pass the high school entrance exam again this time, then don’t bother taking it anymore. You should start working in the fields too.”

Such a big girl, and she couldn’t do any work. And with such a reputation, how would she ever get married in the future? He worried.

“That’s right, Xiao Mei. You’ve taken the exam for two years and haven’t passed. You should stop trying.” Luo Qiuju felt a pang of bitterness when she mentioned this.

This little sister had been out of junior high school for two years, staying at home every day saying she needed to study and review for the high school entrance exam. She didn’t go to work in the fields and didn’t even do housework. It was obvious she was just trying to avoid work, and only the Old Lady believed she was really studying.

Just then, Tang Feng came out with a basin of food and immediately became unhappy. “If my Yaobao hadn’t been sick during the exam last year, she would have passed long ago.”

She glared at Luo Qiuju, “You money-wasting woman, always stirring up trouble. Do you not want to eat?”

Luo Qiuju was extremely unhappy but didn’t dare to provoke the Old Lady. She could only force a smile, “Mom, I’m just thinking of Xiao Mei’s well-being. If she works hard in the fields, it will be easier for her to find a husband in the future.”

She was really afraid that this gluttonous, lazy, and infamous little sister would never get married and continue to be a burden on the family.

“Bah, you just worry about yourself. My Yaobao hasn’t eaten your food or drunk your water.”

Tang Feng snorted, “My Yaobao is the village flower. Who wouldn’t she be able to marry?”

“……” Everyone present was speechless. They didn’t believe that.

Luo Qiuju felt sick to her stomach. Her little sister-in-law was indeed very beautiful. She never worked in the fields and was pampered at home, with fair and delicate skin, even better than city girls. But she was the notorious Song, the Village Bully. And she could marry anyone? She really wanted to ask, who would dare to marry her?

But looking at her mother-in-law’s displeased and fierce eyes, she didn’t dare to say anything more. She just couldn’t help but fiercely pinch her husband sitting next to her to vent her frustration.

Song Jianjun winced in pain but didn’t dare to object.

Song Chu was a little speechless. Her eldest brother was the most honest one in the family, but besides being afraid of their mother, he was also afraid of his wife. He was a typical mama’s boy and wife-fearing man, a complete coward without any masculine spirit.

Walking over and sitting down, Song Chu looked pointedly at her eldest sister-in-law and said, “It’s better than some people who eat from the family and still secretly take things outside.”

Her principle had always been, whoever makes me unhappy, I’ll make them unhappy.

Her eldest sister-in-law was a “brother-supporting demon”, who often secretly took things to subsidize her maternal family.

“You!” Luo Qiuju was furious. Just as she was about to retort, she saw her mother-in-law’s ominous glare and thought of the money she had secretly taken to help her family a few days ago. She lowered her head a little guiltily.

Only then did Song Chu speak again, “I’m not going to take the high school entrance exam anymore.”

The original owner had always said she wanted to take the high school entrance exam, but it was actually just an excuse to be lazy and avoid work. Every time before the exam, she would deliberately eat something bad or catch a cold, giving her an excuse to delay it until the following year.

As for her, she was too lazy to bother. In two years, she could take the college entrance exam, and junior high school graduates could also take it directly. Besides, she had always been a top student. Passing the high school entrance exam would be easy.

Everyone else was happy to hear this, except for Tang Feng, who put down the basin with a pained expression. “Yaobao, don’t listen to your father and your eldest sister-in-law. Mom believes you can definitely pass next year.”

Then she shot a glare at Song Youfu, “Old man, don’t you agree?”

Song Youfu shrank his neck, “Ahem, let’s eat first.”

Song Chu wanted to laugh. So he was also afraid of his wife. Her eldest brother probably inherited it.
