"Uncle Tong, what on earth is this?"
Wei Ci took out the golden treasure chest she got last time, which she had not opened yet.
The system just took back the plug-in and checked the inventory inside. The full amount of things finally made it feel relieved.
[Hmm? Ahem, that's not important. What's important is that I've given you your favorite lab.]
This cannot be said openly, the system grinned and changed the subject.
Wei Ci looked at it with a half-smile, "If it's really not important, would you go to such great lengths to make this trip? Uncle Tong, you raised me."
[Oh, my dear! This is really not important! He's just my right-hand man, just another part of my body. Oh, by the way, your mother told me to tell you that you're not a child anymore, it's time to find a partner. She told you to choose carefully, to find someone who's family-oriented, caring, considerate, able to make money, and has good morals. Don't pick a man out of garbage, or she'll be furious!]
Wei Ci's mouth twitched, she was speechless. Her mother's request was not only one in a million, but also absolutely unique. Where in the world could there be such a perfect man? Did she create him herself?
"Uncle Tong, you expect me to do something that even my mother couldn't do?"
The system spread its hands, looking incredibly innocent: "So your mother found seven."
Wei Ci:……
Do you think this is raising gourd brothers? Do you have to gather all seven gourd brothers to save grandpa?
[Okay, Xiao Aci, I have to go. You’re all alone here, so take good care of yourself!]
This side of the Heavenly Dao has a bad temper and is a bit too irritable. If it stays any longer, it will probably be struck by lightning. It is better to slip away early to find its dear host to complain.
Wei Ci was reluctant to let go and wanted to go up and hold its hand, wanting to act coquettishly like she did when they were children, but as expected, she was pushed away again.
[Auntie! Please don't hurt me! If your mother knew I took advantage of you, she would definitely block me!]
Wei Ci laughed and stood there quietly watching his figure gradually become transparent. She felt melancholy in her heart, knowing that she would never again hear the nagging electronic voice that accompanied her growing up.
After getting the things, Wei Ci lost the mood to herd sheep. She drove the flock to her uncle Gu and asked him to help herd them while she prepared to go home.
"Girl, I heard from your uncle Zong Guo that you are going to work at the pharmaceutical factory in the provincial capital?" Gu Zhengyang saw Wei Ci and quietly came up to her and asked in a low voice.
Wei Ci nodded, "What's wrong, uncle?"
Gu Zhengyang took out a thin letter from his pocket and handed it to her, telling Wei Ci what she needed to pay attention to when she went to work at the pharmaceutical factory.
"There are two of my fellow apprentices there. They are veteran researchers. If you have any questions, go ask them. This is my handwritten letter. They will take good care of you after reading it."
Gu Zhengyang was very emotional. His two junior fellow students went to study abroad at the same university on public funds. They happened to be assigned to be assistants to the same professor as him. The three of them had been together for two years and had some friendship.
"Uncle, are you planning to stay here forever?"
Wei Ci didn't understand. He had money and power, his brother was a big shot in the military, and he himself had many degrees, certificates and awards. So why was he willing to stay in this small mountain village and deal with pigs, cows and sheep every day?
Gu Zhengyang sighed. He didn't want to do that. He thought he came back to win glory for his country, but who knew he would get into trouble with a crazy woman. She relied on her powerful background and told others to bite anyone they could do nothing to her. She didn't care that he already had a partner and wanted to rob him. If the person behind her was not one of the four people, he would never have escaped in such a miserable way.
"Don't worry, I won't be here for long." His elder brother wouldn't let him waste his time here. Apart from anything else, if his sister-in-law knew that the younger brother-in-law she had raised since childhood had just returned to China and was forced to stay home and enter the research institute, she would definitely make a fuss with him. Maybe his wish of having a wife and children and a warm bed would never be anything more than a wish.
"When you go there, be careful, but don't be too defensive. Researchers are very simple-minded and their personalities are pure. As long as you have real skills, they might even give you kerosene if you set fire to their house."
Those who really do scientific research don't have those intrigues. Their minds are already filled with various formulas and materials, and they don't have much energy left to spend on intrigues. Only those who have little ability but high aspirations will go to great lengths to achieve their goals.
Wei Ci understood that she was not really stupid.
"Okay, I'll go find my uncle's friend!"
Gu Zhengyang watched her walk away with a resentful look on his face. In his heart, he cursed that damn woman again. If it weren't for her, maybe he could have taken care of this girl himself.
He had also used this girl's medicine, but he could only identify four or five of the ingredients in it. He really couldn't tell what the rest were.
"Alas... the wave behind is pushing the wave in front, and the wave in front is dying on the sand. If I delay any longer, I guess my wave won't even be able to bounce up a drop of water. I'm so worried~"
The young man led two majestic roosters and waved a whip to drive the flock away.
Wei Ci returned home, locked the door from the inside, and slipped into the space.
The space is still the same as before, with green mountains, green waters, lush vegetation, and fragrant flowers and fruits.
Next to the original small house, there was now an ordinary-looking courtyard house with blue bricks and red tiles, full of ancient charm. When Wei Ci opened the door and walked in, the high-tech furnishings in the house still maintained the same appearance as when she left, even the half-prepared medicinal materials were still there.
Her laboratory is a courtyard that looks small but has all the necessary facilities.
It can be retracted and extended freely, and has its own protective shield, which is impervious to water and fire.
This was the coming-of-age gift the system gave her. It was said to be a magical space from the fairyland. Not only did it have amazing defense, but all the furnishings in the yard were extraordinary, although she couldn't see what was so extraordinary about them.
The middle room was filled with glittering and beautifully shaped instruments. On the left were various medicinal herbs she had collected over the years, including those given by the system during festivals, by her mother, and by her seven mistresses. The medicine cabinets were neatly arranged according to their categories, emitting a strong medicinal aroma.
The other room is the library, which houses all the books she has read since she was a child. There are also many books that are not from ancient times or the present era. They are all the dowry prepared for her by her mother.
"It seems that what my mother prepared is no longer necessary."
Books were precious in ancient times, and most of them could only be owned by the children of powerful and wealthy families. If a woman could bring a few books as a dowry when she got married, it would be a matter of great honor for her in-laws.
“What a pity…”
Thinking of her mother, Wei Ci's eyebrows curved happily and her smile was bright.
Unfortunately, A'niang's wish to marry her daughter off with a grand wedding was not fulfilled.
