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

Chapter 80: Feelings Are the Rotten Peach Blossoms You Provoked

Although Song Chu had guessed his identity, she didn’t expect him to be a professor at Hua University.

“Alright, I’d like to learn from you.”

This was a perfect opportunity for her to start learning about biopharmaceuticals in advance. Later, if she wanted to research and develop any medicine, no one would suspect her.

Although her knowledge and skills were advanced, the experience of the older generation was also very valuable.

When Old Wei heard Song Chu’s agreement, his eyes softened further. “Then come secretly when you have time in the future. Don’t tell anyone outside.”

Song Chu nodded, “Okay!”

Just as they finished talking, Gu Yue and the other two also came out of the cowshed.

Old Gu smiled and asked, “I just heard you talking about a teacher?”

Zhao Di replied, “Teacher Lu and Old Wei are going to teach Comrade Song Chinese medicine and pharmaceuticals. They will be her teachers from now on.”

Old Gu was stunned, obviously surprised.

It was understandable that Teacher Lu would take Song Chu as a student, but Old Wei’s decision truly surprised him. After all, this person had a very rigorous personality and work style. Even when he was teaching at Hua University, he had never taken on a student individually.

This could only mean one thing: Song Chu had a talent for pharmaceuticals that Old Wei had recognized.

This little girl was indeed quite impressive.

“Haha, then let me congratulate the two of you first,” he cupped his hands together.

Teacher Lu and Old Wei both smiled and nodded, accepting his congratulations.

Then Song Chu left the cowshed with Gu Yue and the other two. If they stayed too long, they were afraid of arousing suspicion from people with bad intentions.

Just as the three of them walked a short distance from the cowshed, Song Chu spotted Fang Yuelan standing in a corner not far away.

Seeing the three of them approaching, Fang Yuelan quickly turned and entered a small alley.

Although she reacted quickly, all three of them saw her.

Huo Kai frowned, “What’s going on with that person? Was she following us earlier?”

Gu Yue looked at the spot where Fang Yuelan had been standing, “It’s very possible.”

The cowshed was in a relatively secluded area, and the Fang family’s residence was quite far away. It didn’t make sense for Fang Yuelan to be standing nearby. Moreover, she ran away as soon as she saw them, as if she had a guilty conscience.

Huo Kai looked at Gu Yue with some concern, “Could she be a problem? Does she have a grudge against you?”

He wasn’t worried in the county town, but he was afraid that the woman would spread rumors in the village and get his cousin into trouble.

Song Chu said, “She has a bit of a grudge against me, and she’s also an admirer of your cousin.”

“Don’t worry, the excuse I made earlier has no loopholes. We also went to the pigsty first and then to the cowshed. Everyone in the village knows that she and I have a conflict. Even if she goes out and spreads rumors, no one will believe her.”

It seemed that Fang Yuelan might be plotting something bad again, and she needed to be on guard.

But she wasn’t afraid of the other party’s antics. In fact, she hoped that the other party would stir up more trouble so that she could deal with it once and for all, instead of constantly having her be an eyesore.

Huo Kai instantly pieced together the situation and looked at Gu Yue with a half-smile, “Xiao Yue, so it seems the feelings are the rotten peach blossoms you provoked!”

It seemed that no matter where they went, Sheng Qingyang and Gu Yue were like beacons attracting female comrades.

Gu Yue said helplessly, “I’m not even familiar with her, let alone provoked her. Your words are inaccurate.”

Huo Kai thought for a moment and reminded him, “Just be aware of the situation. Be careful when you come to the cowshed in the future. Don’t let her find any leverage. Women who are madly jealous for love are the most terrifying.”

“Sheng Qingyang is a living example. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been sent here.” Of course, the Sheng family’s assignment also served as a form of protection.

“I understand.” Gu Yue had heard during the day about Sheng Qingyang being entangled by a woman and almost ruining his future. He also became more vigilant towards Fang Yuelan.

After dropping Huo Kai off in the village, he drove away, and Song Chu and Gu Yue went to the oil pressing workshop together.

“The chick incubator is in place. Let’s try hatching some first,” Song Chu said, looking at the two machines.

Gu Yue nodded, “I’ll adjust it first.”

◈◈◈

He stepped forward, connected the machine to the power, and then made some adjustments based on the original settings.

“Put the hatching eggs in. By the time the breeding farm is built, these chicks should be about ready to hatch,” he said.

Song Chu nodded and placed the hatching eggs that the old people had exchanged into the incubator.

There were only two incubators, and they could hatch one hundred eggs a day, taking about twenty days.

Now each household was limited to raising two chickens. It was okay to exchange hatching eggs in various villages. They managed to exchange more than three hundred eggs in total.

Very few people raised ducks, so they only managed to exchange about twenty duck eggs.

Song Chu asked the experienced old people to use the natural incubation method. However many ducklings hatched, they would raise that many.

After placing all the hatching eggs into the incubator, Song Chu’s eyes softened.

Gu Yue said, “Don’t worry. This machine is in good condition. They should all hatch.”

Song Chu withdrew her gaze and looked up at Gu Yue with a smile, “I believe in your skills, Gu, the Academic God.”

Gu Yue chuckled, “Don’t give me that.”

Then he asked, “Do you have books on Chinese medicine and pharmaceuticals in your library?”

Song Chu nodded, “Yes, why? Do you want to read them?”

“No, I have very little contact with these two fields, and I’m not good at them. I’m just curious if you know everything,” Gu Yue said truthfully.

Song Chu said confidently, “I know a lot about pharmaceuticals, but not much about Chinese medicine. But I can learn.”

Gu Yue nodded, “Teacher Lu and Old Wei are both very skilled experts in these two fields. It’s good for you to learn from them.”

“Thank you for today’s matter,” he said to Song Chu as they walked out of the oil pressing workshop and were about to part ways.

Song Chu knew he was referring to Huo Kai visiting Old Gu. She smiled and said, “I told you, you can help me with more things in the future. Don’t just thank me with words. I want you to be a giant of action.”

Gu Yue laughed, “I’ll go back and research the vacuum technology you mentioned.”

Hearing him say this, Song Chu’s eyes lit up with a smile, “Gu, the Academic God, keep it up! I believe in you.”

In the following days, Song Chu would take Tang Qing and others up the mountain every day to pick tea fruit. On this day, she also brought Teacher Lu and Zhao Di.

Teacher Lu wanted to find a few medicinal herbs that could only be found on the Back Mountain. Zhao Di simply came along for the fun.

While Tang Qing and the others were picking fruit, Song Chu led Teacher Lu and the other man deeper into the mountain to search for medicinal herbs.

She also remembered her fourth brother’s request to exchange for a watch, so she wanted to take a stroll around and see if she could find some good medicinal herbs to trade.

Wild boars and large snakes were not so easy to encounter, and their size was too large. Taking them to trade would easily attract unwanted attention.

The deeper they went, the more dangerous it became. But with someone like Song Chu, who had experience and high combat power, leading the way, it wasn’t a problem.

Their luck was good today. They found all the medicinal herbs Teacher Lu was looking for, filling a back basket, and they didn’t encounter any wild beasts.

Song Chu had been searching carefully the whole time. Just as they were about to leave, she finally found a ginseng plant.

She quickly walked over and dug it out with a small shovel.

“Oh, it’s a ginseng,” Teacher Lu walked over and squatted down to take a look.

Song Chu handed it to him, “Teacher, how many years old is this red ginseng?”

She could recognize it, but she couldn’t tell its age.
