Chapter 55: Is it real?
Soon, Director Shi returned to the office with Director Zhang.
Song Chu handed the basket over directly, “Director Zhang, this is a wild rabbit that my family hunted in the mountains yesterday. I brought it for you to try.”
Director Zhang had already heard about it from Director Shi. He smiled and said, “How can I accept this?”
“It’s nothing special, just something we caught while picking tea seeds in the mountains. Please don’t be polite,” Song Chu said with a smile.
Director Zhang found this young comrade to be very thoughtful, and he was naturally happy. Nowadays, his family could not even eat meat twice a month.
“Then I’ll accept it, thank you.”
Song Chu pointed to Gu Yue and introduced, “This is Educated Youth Gu, whom I mentioned to you before. He modified the parts of the oil press, and he also developed the chick incubator.”
A faint smile appeared on Gu Yue’s cold and handsome face, “Hello, Director Zhang!”
Director Zhang felt that this person was not like the educated youths he had met before, but rather like a young master from some wealthy family. His appearance and temperament were too outstanding.
He smiled and shook hands with Gu Yue, “Hello, Comrade Gu!”
After the two sat down, Gu Yue took out the mechanical drawings and began to explain them to Director Zhang.
Director Zhang was immediately engrossed, looking as if he regretted not meeting Gu Yue sooner.
Afterward, he even took Gu Yue to the workshop and called over the best technicians in the factory to study the chick incubator together.
It seemed that it would take some time, so Song Chu said goodbye to Gu Yue and went to her third brother’s house first, and would come back to pick him up later.
Gu Yue also hoped that the chick incubator would be put into production as soon as possible, so he would spend more time explaining it to these people and naturally had no objection.
Song Chu had already had lunch at the machinery factory. When she arrived at Song Lao San’s house, the couple had just finished eating.
Seeing Song Chu’s arrival, Song San Sao’s attitude was much better than last time.
“Chu Chu is here, come in and sit down.” She opened the door and asked with a smile, “Haven’t had lunch yet, right? I’ll make you something.”
Song Chu entered and sat down, “No need, San Sao, I’ve already eaten.”
“You must be hungry coming from home at this hour. There are steamed buns at home, let your San Sao heat two for you, and you can take a few back for Mom and Dad.” Song Lao San was the kind of man who favored his own family at the expense of his wife’s.
He felt that it was not easy for his sister to come, so she had to eat a few steamed buns that his mother-in-law brought.
Song Chu was amused, “I really ate, just now at the machinery factory canteen.”
Her third brother was a filial son to her parents, but to his in-laws, he was really hard to describe.
Song Lao San was taken aback, “Why did you go to the machinery factory canteen to eat?”
Could it be that she met some hooligan from the machinery factory on her way to the city and was tricked into having a meal?
The more he looked at his beautiful sister, the more he felt it was very likely. He couldn’t help but worry.
His sister was his mother’s darling. If she was deceived by a man in the city, he would be beaten when he returned home.
He suddenly got angry. He didn’t know which bastard dared to have designs on his sister. He had to teach him a lesson first.
Song Chu didn’t know that her third brother had imagined so much, “I took Educated Youth Gu from our village to the machinery factory.”
Then she quickly explained that she had opened an oil pressing workshop, exchanged the oil for goods and a tractor, and today she was here to deal with the chick incubator.
Song Lao San and Song San Sao were completely dumbfounded after hearing her words.
Does Little Sister have such ability? Is it real? What a joke.
Seeing that they didn’t believe her, Song Chu shrugged and said, “If you don’t believe me, go back to the village and see for yourself.”
◈◈◈
Then she took out three pheasants and a few bags of sugar from the basket in her hand.
“This sugar is what I exchanged for the oil, and I also hunted these pheasants. I brought them for you to try.”
She had asked people to register the things exchanged from the oil pressing workshop, and this was the part taken out to build relationships.
Seeing the bags of sugar, the two of them barely believed it.
After all, sugar requires sugar tickets to buy now, and it was impossible for Little Sister to buy so much at once.
Song Lao San asked, “Why did you bring so much? Didn’t you leave some for home?”
Song Chu smiled, “I left plenty.”
“Last time, San Sao’s second brother helped us buy the oil press, so please, San Sao, help me deliver a pheasant and three bags of sugar to him as thanks.”
“As for the remaining two pheasants and sugar, if you can’t finish them, San Sao, you can do whatever you want with them.” She added with a smile.
Song San Sao was not a short-sighted person, but she was really happy now.
It was difficult to eat meat in the city. Little Sister meant that she could send some to her family.
In the past, the two of them often took things from her family. Last time they sent snake meat, her parents, brothers, sisters-in-law, and sister were all very happy.
It wasn’t about taking advantage, but just feeling that her husband’s family had finally done something decent.
If she sent some pheasant and sugar back this time, her family would definitely be happy and would think more highly of her husband.
The two of them would also have more face in front of her family. In the past, they had no presence, after all, they had to ask her family for things.
“Little Sister is becoming more and more capable.” Song San Sao looked at her sister-in-law, and the more she looked, the more beautiful she found her.
She was sure that even the girls in the city were not as good-looking as her sister-in-law. If it weren’t for her bad reputation before, the matchmakers would have worn out the threshold of the Song family.
It would be a waste for her sister-in-law to marry those rural lads. She decided to help her find a suitable young man in the city and introduce them.
Song Chu still liked her silly, sweet, and fair San Sao. She smiled lightly, “I think San Sao is getting more and more beautiful.”
In the past, when she came with her mother, she was always arrogant and pick something up, so her relationship with San Sao was not only bad but also a bit stiff, and they even looked down on each other. Now she definitely had to change that.
“Little Sister has such a sweet mouth.” The smile on Song San Sao’s face deepened. What women like most is being praised for their beauty, especially in front of the man she likes most.
Song Lao San was a little uncomfortable. The two people who used to be cold and even awkward suddenly became so close. He coughed dryly, “Little Sister has grown up and become capable now. Keep up the good work. If you need anything, you can come to Third Brother.”
In the past, he wouldn’t dare to say such things to his village bully sister, even in the Gu family. Now seeing that Little Sister had changed for the better, he was still very gratified.
Song Chu nodded, “You can rest assured about my work.”
Song San Ge: “…”
He really wanted to say that it was precisely because of your work that I was not so reassured. Don’t be like before, fishing for three days and drying the nets for two, but he thought about it and held back. It was rare for his sister to be motivated, so he couldn’t dampen her enthusiasm.
Song San Sao thought for a moment and asked, “Little Sister, didn’t you exchange things with the clothing factory?”
