Yun Duo was hit by a giant egg that fell from the sky and transported to another world's 1960s. Upon opening her eyes, she was about to be sold as a child bride to a fool. After narrowly escapi...
"Mom, I want to farm. Don't we have several farms outside the city? Why don't you lend me one so I can farm?"
It's not really about farming. Although the government confiscated all the "pseudo" hybrid rice from her family's fields, Yun Duo still felt it wouldn't lead to anything. After all, if it were that easy, that old man from the last century, who could be called a "modern Shennong," wouldn't have spent so many years researching it.
However, Yun Duo still really wanted to recreate the hybrid rice from the previous world. Not for fame, not for profit. She just suddenly felt that she could do something for this world.
Or rather, she wanted to prove to the world that she, as a 'woman,' was no less than a man.
All right……
Ultimately, it was those so-called courses on women's appearance and virtue disguised as etiquette that were actually arousing my ire.
Of course, Zhou Huiyu wouldn't let her daughter go farming!
Of course, she didn't look down on farmers. After all, her own daughter came from the countryside. And... she wasn't the kind of person who looked down on others.
I just find farming hard work.
It was fine before.
She couldn't find her daughter, which is why her daughter suffered for so many years.
But now that she has brought her daughter back to her side, her delicate little girl naturally needs to be pampered, so how could she go back to the hardships of farming?
“Sweetie, let’s not go farming. It’s too hard, and it will break Mommy’s heart if you get tired. If you don’t want to go to school, we can hire a tutor to come back and teach you. If you miss the life you had in the village, then Mommy can go with you to our estate outside the city for a while… Perfect, we can also bring your grandparents from the Yun family along, and we can have a good time in the countryside. They’re always in the city, and they might be feeling a bit bored. It’ll be good for them to relax. What do you say?”
"Mom, you misunderstood me." Seeing Zhou Huiyu's nervous expression and her careful attempts to comfort her, Yun Duo was stunned for a moment. After realizing what she meant, she was both amused and exasperated. She quickly looked at Zhou Huiyu and explained, "I didn't mean to go farming myself. I'm still young, and I won't grow tall if I do heavy work. Grandpa told me that before."
“When we lived in Qingping County, we didn’t do heavy work. We hired people to help us cultivate our fields. It was just a matter of managing them. It wasn’t hard work.”
"Besides, I don't really intend to farm..."
"Well, I want to... well... I want to grow the kind of high-yield rice that we grew before in Qingping County."
Zhou Huiyu also remembered the rice issue and subconsciously said, "Weren't all the rice seeds handed over to the state? I heard from your father that they were all transferred to that agricultural college. If you don't have seeds, what are you going to plant?"
He paused twice, then continued, "Duo'er, although your father is highly regarded by His Majesty the King, he is not in charge of agriculture. Your father is in charge of diplomacy... which means dealing with foreigners."
"His identity is actually quite sensitive. His Majesty the King entrusted your father with the task of bringing back your high-yield rice because he trusted your father and was worried about causing international disputes. Once it was brought back, your father handed over all the seeds without keeping a single one. If we ask him to go looking for them now... it could easily cause misunderstandings."
"Honey, we have everything we need, so you don't need to work hard at farming. Agricultural scientists will handle the seeds and stuff. You're still too young, so let's not worry about that for now, okay?"
