Reborn in the ’80s as a Group Favorite Bigshot – Chapter 78

Chapter 78: He truly broadened his horizons.

The villagers’ faces lit up with smiles when they heard this.

“It’s worth seeing. The pigs raised in our village are fat and big, much better than those in other villages.”

“That’s right. In our future breeding farm, the pigs will eat the oil residue from the oil pressing workshop. The chickens and ducks will definitely be plump.”

Everyone started praising the few pigs in the village and the breeding farm that hadn’t even been built yet.

Huo Kai felt like these villagers had been brainwashed, but it was quite interesting. It was his first time encountering something like this. He figured Song Chu was probably responsible for it.

He nodded reservedly, “I’ll take a look first before deciding.”

“Then hurry up and let Chu Chu take you to see. The pigs are really good,” the villagers said urgently, as if they were afraid he would change his mind.

Suddenly, someone remembered something and asked Song Chu in a low voice, “Chu Chu, why are we still going to the cowshed to see the cows? Will the breeding farm raise cows in the future?”

Song Chu had already thought of what to say. “The two cows in the village are strong and spirited. Taking him to see them will prove that our village is good at raising animals.”

“Of course, if conditions permit in the future, our breeding farm will also raise some cows,” she added.

The reason why she had applied for a breeding farm instead of a chicken farm was so that she could expand the business later without having to go through the paperwork again.

When the villagers heard her say this, they all exchanged knowing glances. “That’s right, take Comrade Huo to the cowshed to see. Our village is good at raising everything.”

Song, the Village Bully, was probably going to try to fool this city person again. Remembering how she had acted like a victim in front of the police, they felt like they understood.

Song Chu saw their knowing looks and felt a little amused. “Then I’ll take him to see. You guys keep an eye on the car.”

“No problem. Go ahead. We’ll definitely keep an eye on the car for this comrade,” the villagers waved their hands, urging her to go quickly.

They were all surprised and excited. They didn’t expect Song Chu to find a buyer for the meat before the breeding farm even opened. She was amazing.

The villagers were even more determined to follow her in the future.

Song Chu then took Huo Kai and Gu Yue towards the pigsty.

Once they were far enough away, Huo Kai looked at Song Chu and said, “Comrade Song, the villagers in your village are really interesting and quite united. You seem to be quite popular in the village.”

The villagers were very enthusiastic towards Song Chu, and there seemed to be a kind of fear that he couldn’t quite put his finger on. They kept praising her, just like they did during the day when they testified.

Song Chu chuckled, with a hint of pride, “There’s nothing I can do. When you’re too outstanding, you’re just popular. The people in our village are indeed very united and friendly. They are all good comrades.”

Most of the villagers in their village were relatively simple. It was normal to have some who were gossipy or who would argue over trivial matters. That was just life.

If a family was really in trouble, many villagers would be willing to lend a hand. That’s why she was also willing to help everyone and get rich together.

Of course, with the support of the whole village, she could do great things more freely.

The effect of one family getting rich and the whole village getting rich was definitely different, and the treatment they received would also be different.

The former would make everyone envious and jealous, and the gap between the rich and the poor would distance their family from other villagers. But this was a collective, and being too independent could easily lead to isolation, which wasn’t good.

The latter would make everyone regard her as one of their own, as the backbone, and they would unconsciously protect her.

From today’s testimony and everyone’s enthusiastic praise for the breeding farm, it was clear that what she had been doing recently had already yielded results.

Huo Kai: “……”

He truly broadened his horizons. It was the first time he had heard a female comrade praise herself for being outstanding.

Gu Yue looked at his cousin’s expression, which seemed to suggest he was questioning his life, and chuckled, “She’s just like that. She’s not modest and very good at fooling.”

But this kind of uniqueness was quite good. Being straightforward and unaffected was rather cute.

The women who had approached him in the past always liked to beat around the bush or hide their true nature, which made him very impatient to deal with them.

Song Chu glared at him. “This isn’t called fooling. This is called uniting all forces that can be united. Can you speak properly?”

Gu Yue made a gesture of zipping his lips. “Alright, I misspoke. This is your ability.”

This woman could turn black into white with that mouth of hers, and the problem was that she could make people inexplicably believe her. Not many people could do that.

Song Chu raised her chin with a smile, “Of course.”

Then she turned her head and looked at him meaningfully. “You can smoke?”

Gu Yue was taken aback. “I used to.”

Song Chu looked past him at Huo Kai and asked, “He wasn’t like this before?”

Huo Kai saw that his cousin and Song Chu were very comfortable and relaxed with each other, so he didn’t hide anything and smiled, “No, he used to be very wild.”

“Smoking, drinking, fighting, he did it all.”

“He was also particularly unruly. Before high school, he was the troublemaker and little bully of the compound. Later, he was thrown into the army by Grandpa Gu to be trained for a year. He started to restrain himself a lot in high school, but he was still very cold and arrogant.”

“But no matter how wild he was, he was very smart. He was always first in exams, so the family indulged him. He was also the ‘other people’s child’.”

Huo Kai finished with a reminiscent tone and added, “He was a completely different style before.”

Now, his cousin seemed to have put away all his edges, becoming more reserved, calm, and elegant, but also more charming.

But it was understandable. After all, when a family experienced such a huge change, people would always change. He thought his cousin was better now.

Song Chu looked surprised and nudged Gu Yue with her elbow. “Tsk tsk, Gu, the Academic God, I really couldn’t tell. So you were like that when you were young.”

She really couldn’t imagine what he was like in his youth as described by Huo Kai. His current image was too deeply ingrained.

But to go from a well-born, unruly, cold, and arrogant teenager to a cool, gentle, and elegant unattainable man, he must have gone through a lot.

Gu Yue didn’t mind talking about his past. He raised his lips and said, “Who hasn’t been young?”

Song Chu chimed in, “Gu, the Academic God, is right.”

It was still better to know the current Gu, the Academic God. If he still had that unrestrained and flamboyant personality, she definitely wouldn’t be able to order him around.

Gu Yue could see right through her. He said exasperatedly, “That’s enough.”

Song Chu first took Huo Kai to the pigsty to see the pigs. After all, she had to put on a show.

Song Jianjun now washed the pigsty and the pigs every day, so it was relatively clean, and the smell wasn’t too strong.

In addition, since they had recently been eating the oil residue from the oil pressing workshop, their feed had improved significantly. They looked white, plump, and very pleasing.

Huo Kai had thought the villagers were just exaggerating, but after seeing the pigs, he realized they weren’t far off. “You’ve raised these pigs really well. In the future, give our armed forces department two pigs every month.”

Song Chu smiled. “We use scientific pig farming methods, so of course they’re raised well. I wasn’t fooling you before.”

Huo Kai was gradually getting used to her straightforwardness. He quite liked her personality. “It’s just that you’re raising too few. You should raise more.”

“Yes, once the breeding farm is built, we will increase the number of pigs.” This was already in Song Chu’s plan.

There will be another update at 4 PM. XOXO~
