[Farming + No System + Cozy Everyday Life + Slow and Steady]
Su He opened her eyes to find herself transmigrated into the body of a twelve-year-old village girl.
All she had was a dilapidated house and her fifteen-year-old brother, the impoverished scholar Shen Yanqing.
Oh, they weren't actually siblings.
She had been adopted.
Their home was bare, their money pouch empty, and their rice jar nearly out of rice.
Su He sighed. "Fine. I know how to farm. I'll support us."
Others farmed and left the harvest to the heavens. She relied on know-how: seed selection, composting, crop rotation, and grafting. While others harvested two shi per mu, she doubled that, then doubled it again. Her seedless watermelons sold at restaurants in the county seat for two taels of silver each. Her hybrid rice was still being tested in the fields of a wealthy landowner, who nearly slapped his thigh clean off when he saw the results.
The whole village was stunned. Could this girl be the God of Agriculture in human form?
Later, Shen Yanqing came first in the imperial examinations and became a brilliant Third Place Scholar. He turned down the noble young ladies of the capital and refused a post as an assistant prefect in Lin'an Prefecture, instead requesting a transfer to Qiongzhou.
Everyone said he was crazy.
Only he knew that he was going to Qiongzhou so she could farm a plot of land in peace.
"Don't you regret it?" Su He asked.
"I don't." Shen Yanqing gently stroked her hair. "But before we set out, how about we get married?"
"Didn't you say we should wait another two years?"
"I can't wait any longer."
