◎The Eighteenth Day of the King of Scrolls◎
She instinctively turned her head to look.
She was a girl with delicate features, but her eyes held a world-weariness that didn't match her age.
He was staring intently at her, his eyes filled with scrutiny and wariness.
Jiang Wanzhou was taken aback.
The reason why she and Shen Xinglian were able to deceive Jiang Renzhou and other perceptive people was because they had worked as part-time actors, attended acting classes, and knew how to keep their eyes looking young.
This girl is none other than the reborn Jun Yanghong.
Jun Yanghong is reborn and returns, determined to change her brother's fate.
In their past lives, Jun Yangjian, the elder brother, and Jiang Renzhou, the elder brother of Jiang Wanzhou, were in the same army and both had promising futures.
But their fates were completely different. After his wife passed away, Jiang Renzhou married a young intellectual from the village for the sake of his children.
The two worked together to raise their child exceptionally well, and the family became a model family in the entire military region. Jiang Renzhou also rose through the ranks.
Meanwhile, his brother's wife died in childbirth, but he was tricked by a scheming village girl into marrying the wrong person, and his life fell into chaos and his career plummeted.
In this life, Jun Yanghong secretly vowed upon her return that she would make sure her brother married Su Xiaomei.
We must never let the tragedy of our past life repeat itself.
Therefore, through a lot of effort, she gained attention and trust from her brother.
He claimed to be at the exchange meeting to find a new sister-in-law for his brother, but in reality, he wanted to get in touch with Su Xiaomei through people from the Red Star Brigade.
But seeing Jiang Wanzhou at this moment triggered alarm bells in her heart, even though she herself hadn't come in her previous life.
In the family compound, I did see Jiang Wanzhou acting irrationally several times, and Jiang Renzhou, as her older brother, always let it go.
So, is it reasonable for the village to be supporting Jiang Wanzhou at this time?
But subconsciously, she felt that this girl who was showing promise in aquaculture might become an uncertain factor affecting her brother's fate, so she couldn't help but take a few more glances.
Jiang Wanzhou felt a little uncomfortable under that gaze. Just as she was about to ask a question, the host of the exchange went up on stage and announced the official start of the sharing session, calling out Jiang Wanzhou's name first.
Jiang Wanzhou didn't have time to think too much. She took a deep breath, straightened her clothes, and walked steadily onto the stage.
Zhou Qingyu stood below the stage, and Jiang Wanzhou nodded to him.
When Jun Yanghong saw Jiang Wanzhou come on stage, she immediately pricked up her ears and listened intently. She wanted to see what real skills Jiang Wanzhou had.
Jiang Wanzhou stood on the stage, cleared her throat, and began to share her experience in aquaculture.
"Comrades, the living conditions of pigs... but the excrement of poultry like chickens and ducks can nourish the soil, and can be used in conjunction with grape cultivation..."
As Jiang Wanzhou spoke, the audience gradually became engrossed.
The initially skeptical gazes gradually became more focused.
Even the arrogant girl who had previously been hostile towards Jiang Wanzhou unconsciously shut her mouth and listened attentively.
Zhou Qingyu listened intently, occasionally jotting down key points in her notebook, her eyes filled with admiration.
Jun Yanghong was increasingly alarmed as she listened; she hadn't expected Jiang Wanzhou to actually be quite capable.
She had never heard of any of the methods she described before.
A sense of worry welled up in Jun Yanghong's heart.
She suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure—Zheng Yuan.
That male educated youth who abandoned Jiang Wanzhou in his previous life.
At this moment, Zheng Yuan was standing at the edge of the crowd, his eyes revealing a hint of disdain and contempt, and the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, as if he did not take Jiang Wanzhou's sharing seriously.
Jun Yanghong's heart stirred, and an idea surfaced in her mind.
Perhaps Zheng Yuan could be used, but will Jiang Wanzhou be interested in him and pester him relentlessly, just like in her previous life?
At this point, Jiang Wanzhou's sharing session came to an end.
The audience erupted in enthusiastic applause, with many nodding in approval.
Even the expert who wore glasses earlier went up on stage and said excitedly, "Comrade Jiang's sharing was very insightful. These experiences are of great reference value for the development of breeding in our commune brigade, and the leaders and experts will also analyze the future development plan."
"I hope everyone can study hard and make progress together!"
Jiang Wanzhou walked off the stage with a smile.
Zheng Yuan's expression changed instantly. He immediately went to greet him and said excitedly, "Comrade Jiang, you spoke wonderfully! I took many notes just now. May I ask if you can..."
Zhou Qingyu stepped forward and separated them with a book: "Sorry, our captain still needs us to find someone."
Jiang Wanzhou smiled modestly: "This is the result of everyone's hard work in our team. I'm just sharing what I know."
At this moment, Jun Yanghong hesitated for a moment, but still stepped forward and asked casually, "Comrade Jiang, where did you learn all this experience? It seems quite extraordinary."
Jiang Wanzhou turned to look at Jun Yanghong. Although she was a little surprised by her sudden conversation, she still answered politely, "I came up with these methods today by referring to the experience of the older generation and by constantly practicing them in my daily life."
Jun Yanghong thought to herself, this Jiang Wanzhou is indeed not simple.
She forced a smile: "Comrade Jiang is really amazing. I hope I will have the opportunity to learn from you again in the future."
Zhou Qingyu, standing to the side, keenly noticed the strange look in Jun Yanghong's eyes when she looked at Jiang Wanzhou.
He quietly pulled Jiang Wanzhou over.
After they had walked a little further away, he said softly, "Comrade Jiang, you should still be careful when you're out and about."
Jiang Wanzhou smiled and said, "Thank you for reminding me, Zhou Zhiqing. I understand."
Jun Yanghong watched Jiang Wanzhou and Zhou Qingyu chatting and laughing as they prepared to leave, then glanced at the dejected Zheng Yuan not far away, her eyes growing increasingly resolute.
She strode towards Zheng Yuan and deliberately raised her voice, saying, "Zheng, you just listened to Comrade Jiang's sharing. What are your thoughts? I noticed you didn't seem to care much at first."
Zheng Yuan was taken aback by Jun Yanghong's words, then said disdainfully, "Hmph, what good are her old-fashioned methods? They're just for fooling ignorant people like you."
Jun Yanghong was secretly delighted. She wanted to provoke Zheng Yuan and make him have a stronger desire to conquer Jiang Wanzhou.
She deliberately said, "He's a real expert in aquaculture now, who do you think you are?"
Zheng Yuan's competitive spirit was indeed aroused. He snorted coldly, "Her? A country girl, what great achievements could she possibly make? I'd like to see what tricks she can pull."
Seeing Zheng Yuan's furious and embarrassed expression, Jun Yanghong felt smug, thinking that her plan had successfully taken its first step.
Jun Yanghong didn't want to have anything to do with Jiang Wanzhou, so she had Zheng Yuan keep bothering Jiang Wanzhou.
She happened to come into contact with the person next to her.
Jun Yanghong deliberately patted Zheng Yuan on the shoulder and said meaningfully, "Zheng, you should not just talk the talk. If you have the ability, then show some action. Maybe you can make Comrade Jiang look at you with new eyes."
Zheng Yuan gritted his teeth, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes: "Hmph, just you wait and see. I, Zheng Yuan, am not someone to be trifled with. I will definitely prove to her that her so-called experience is utterly worthless."
After saying that, he turned and left angrily, his steps hurried, as if he were venting his anger on the ground.
Jun Yanghong looked at Zheng Yuan and smiled with satisfaction.
Li Ke, who had been so flamboyant before, frowned when she saw this scene, closed her notebook, and eventually left.
Over the next few days, Jiang Wanzhou was busy with her aquaculture work and studies as usual.
Just like in the future, schools now require both teachers and students to develop their own "graduation projects."
The farm has two expert teachers: one is a professor of animal science surnamed Guo, and the other is a specialist in animal living environment and daily routines surnamed Li.
Both Teacher Guo and Teacher Li were sent to farms after being sent down to the countryside.
The two were a married couple, and both were very silent.
Jiang Wanzhou would come over every day to see what the two of them were doing.
They are very diligent in cleaning.
However, neither of them ever touched the water.
She goes to the farm every day to check on the livestock and discovers that Teacher Guo adjusts the feed formula according to the different growth stages of the livestock.
So she asked, "Wouldn't it be better to use the manure from poultry that eat this kind of feed as fertilizer?"
Teacher Guo looked up at Jiang Wanzhou in surprise, her lips moving as if she was about to say something, but Teacher Li pulled her away.
Jiang Wanzhou wasn't intimidated by the stern look that Teacher Li gave her.
But she sighed and left.
Teacher Guo frowned: "Why are you pulling me? This child is quite well-behaved and hasn't bothered us these past few days. Her idea is also good."
"Think about what's going on here now, isn't it all because of your students!" Teacher Li said angrily.
Teacher Guo moved her lips slightly, then bent down to continue shearing the sheep.
Zhou Qingyu also often came to help; he would help Jiang Wanzhou move feed and repair tools at the farm.
He would also discuss issues with Jiang Wanzhou.
Zhou Qingyu came to the school to learn about tools and other things. Jiang Wanzhou, who was familiar with science from being around Shen Xinglian, was actually able to chat with Zhou Qingyu for a few minutes.
It also inspired Zhou Qingyu.
Meanwhile, Zheng Yuan, ever since being provoked by Jun Yanghong, has been determined to prove that he is better than Jiang Wanzhou.
He inquired about breeding methods everywhere and even bought some books on breeding from the city, studying them day and night.
Jun Yanghong would occasionally go to Zheng Yuan to encourage him.
They will also reveal some of Jiang Wanzhou's activities to him, so that he can prepare more effectively.
One day, Zheng Yuan felt he was almost ready and went to find Jiang Wanzhou.
He also brought Jun Yanghong along to inquire about Jiang Wanzhou's knowledge.
Jiang Wanzhou and her two teachers had not yet made a breakthrough, and they naturally assumed that Jiang Wanzhou was just dawdling.
That evening, Jiang Wanzhou and Zhou Qingyu walked side by side.
Zhou Qingyu was still a little worried and frowned, saying, "Comrade Jiang, Jun Yanghong and Zheng Yuan don't seem like simple people. The fact that they're suddenly being so enthusiastic towards you makes me think they're up to no good. You should stay away from them in the future."
Jiang Wanzhou smiled gently and comforted her, "Zhou Zhiqing, don't worry too much. I'm upright and have nothing to hide. Even if they have bad intentions, they can't hurt me. Besides, I'm not someone you can easily bully."
Seeing Jiang Wanzhou's confident demeanor, Zhou Qingyu's worries lessened slightly, but she still couldn't help but remind her, "No matter what, it's always better to be careful. After all, one can never be too careful."
“Zhou Zhiqing.” Jiang Wanzhou paused, intending to say that he was never one to speak ill of others.
But I'm afraid Zhou Qingyu won't remind me next time.
So she looked at the moon and said, "Look how beautiful the moon is tonight."
As she looked up, she didn't notice the blush on the face of the person behind her.
