Reborn in the ’80s as a Group Favorite Bigshot – Chapter 61

Chapter 61: Why is it so good?

In the following days, Song Chu either took people up the mountain to pick tea fruits or taught the villagers how to drive a tractor.

Two accountants were also selected, one educated youth and one junior high school student from the village. The work point recorder was an educated youth.

Four days later, Song Chu took the oil and drove the tractor to town with Gu Yue.

Gu Yue went to the machinery factory to provide guidance, while she went to the clothing factory to exchange for clothes.

In addition to exchanging oil for the clothing factory, she also gave a pheasant to both Guo Xia and Director Wu, making them both quite happy.

Director Wu was even more attentive and took Song Chu to the warehouse to see a batch of previously produced work clothes that were waiting to be disposed of. After looking at them, she took them all.

After packing the clothes, Guo Xia took Song Chu to the dining hall to eat.

The two chatted while eating.

Song Chu smiled as she ate the food on her plate and asked, “Sister Xia, what kind of vegetables do you usually eat?”

Guo Xia replied, “Chinese cabbage, green vegetables, white radish, potatoes. We usually alternate between these. Why do you ask?”

“I noticed that there are few varieties of vegetables in the city. Is it convenient for you to buy vegetables usually?” Song Chu asked again.

Guo Xia smiled and said, “We basically eat these vegetables too. We have to go early in the morning to queue up for vegetables, otherwise there will be none left or no good ones.”

There were two workers in her family. They ate lunch in the dining hall and had to go home to cook dinner. Every day before going to work, she had to queue up to buy vegetables first.

“Why are you asking about this?”

Song Chu smiled and replied, “I suddenly had an idea. I’ll go back and see if I can cultivate more varieties of vegetables.”

“Do you have enough private plots in your village now? Can you grow more?” Guo Xia still knew a little about the situation in the countryside.

Song Chu said, “There are not many private plots. I’ll try to grow them using other methods.”

“If I succeed, I’ll send you some vegetables to eat,” she added.

Although Guo Xia was a little curious about how she would do it, she didn’t ask further and smiled, “That would be great. Our dining hall keeps serving the same few vegetables. If you can grow some other varieties, our factory will definitely buy them.”

She believed that everyone in the factory would be happy to improve the food in the dining hall.

Song Chu nodded, “Okay, I’ll give it a try first.”

After finishing their meal, Song Chu went to the machinery factory to find Gu Yue.

He also ate lunch in the machinery factory’s dining hall. There were some problems with the production of the chick incubator, which were successfully solved under his guidance.

Director Zhang valued Gu Yue quite highly and even had the idea of recruiting him to the machinery factory.

However, he tentatively brought it up, but Gu Yue politely declined.

After providing guidance at the machinery factory, the two drove the tractor back.

Gu Yue said, “The chick incubator should be ready next week. You can have people start collecting hatching eggs.”

“I’ve already had the elderly people in the village carry oil to other villages to exchange for hatching eggs these past few days. They collect chicken, duck, and goose eggs as long as they are available,” Song Chu replied.

In recent days, the variety of goods in the oil pressing workshop’s warehouse had gradually increased, mostly exchanged by the elderly people carrying oil to other villages.

Although they were older, they were very efficient and, most importantly, responsible and serious. They also had more experience than young people, such as being able to identify good hatching eggs.

“Okay, as long as you know what you’re doing. We’ll come back next week to make sure the produced chick incubators are usable, and then they can start production,” Gu Yue nodded.

Song Chu drove the car into the village, which caused another sensation. Many people went to the oil pressing workshop to watch.

◈◈◈

Seeing bundles of clothes being carried into the workshop, everyone was a little envious.

“Song Chu, did you exchange for all these clothes?” someone asked.

Song Chu smiled and said, “Yes! I exchanged for all of them today. I also exchanged for work clothes. Today, I’ll give each person working at the oil pressing workshop a set.”

“That’s so good?” Everyone was surprised.

The benefits at this oil pressing workshop were too good, weren’t they? Not only did they distribute sugar and cloth, but now they were also distributing clothes?

Song Chu nodded matter-of-factly, “Yes, it’s that good.”

“Song Chu, is your oil pressing workshop still not hiring? I think it’s still quite busy,” someone couldn’t help but ask again.

Song Chu smiled and said, “The oil pressing workshop is not hiring, but we might need a group of people to do other things next month. I’ll let you know then. Don’t worry.”

“Okay, you must remember us then!” Although they didn’t know what they would be doing, they now believed in Song Chu’s abilities.

All the clothes on the tractor were moved to the warehouse. When it was time to get off work, Song Chu called everyone who was working over.

Whether it was the original twelve people, the newly hired accountants and work point recorder, or the elderly people selected to go to various villages to exchange things with oil, each person was given a set of work clothes.

Everyone was very happy when the clothes were distributed. These were work clothes worn by workers in the county town. They didn’t expect to have a set too.

Moreover, these clothes were better than what they usually wore.

“From now on, you will all wear uniform work clothes when you come to work at the oil pressing workshop. After working for a full month, I will give you another set to change into, and two sets for winter,” Song Chu said with a smile.

“Really?” Everyone couldn’t believe it. They would be given so many sets.

The elderly people cherished the clothes they received and kept touching them. They had lived for so many years, and this was the first time they had received clothes through their own labor. This experience made them feel indescribably excited and proud.

They would wear them out tomorrow and let the villagers see that they, the elderly, were no worse than the young people.

Song Chu smiled, “Of course it’s true, but the premise is that you work hard. If you are fired, then of course you won’t get any.”

“Work, we will definitely work hard,” everyone shouted passionately.

They would definitely work hard for such a job with good benefits. Otherwise, who would they cry to if they were fired?

Besides, if they were really fired, they would definitely be scolded by their families when they went back, and they would also lose face in the village.

Song Chu dismissed them, and they each left the oil pressing workshop with their work clothes.

The villagers had been watching the oil pressing workshop, and when they saw the workers coming out with clothes, their eyes widened, and they came up to ask all sorts of questions.

Some people even wanted to touch their clothes, but they all dodged.

“Why is your workshop so good? You even distribute clothes worn by workers in the city,” these clothes were considered very good in the eyes of the villagers.

Tang Qing and the others held their heads high, looking proud, “Of course our workshop is good.”

“You guys are also lucky. You signed up for the workshop before. If other capable people in the village had signed up, you wouldn’t have had a chance,” someone said sourly to Tang Qing and the others.

Tang Qing rolled his eyes, “That’s because we have good judgment. We knew that following Big Brother Yue would be promising. Who told them to be blind back then? This is also our ability. You can’t be envious.”

“……” Looking at his smug look was very annoying, but everyone had to admit that they were indeed blind before.

I’m sorry, I’m not feeling well today, and I’ve been looking up information. I’m having a hard time writing. I only managed to write this chapter this morning. The next chapter will be around 3:30 pm. XOXO~~~
