Transmigrating with the Agricultural Sciences Institute and Grandpa

Upcoming novel: The Eighties Hustle. Please add it to your collection. Nan Man was among the rarest talents of the 1960s. While testing an engine, Nan Man sometimes thought how wonderful it would be to munch on a tender ear of corn. System: Ding! The farm's corn needs fertilizing. Nan Man: You want me, an engineering student, to make organic compound fertilizer? Are you even human? System: Nope. While working on a section of a launcher design, Nan Man sometimes thought how delightful a bowl of hand-pulled noodles would be. System: Ding! The farm's wheat needs pest control. Nan Man: I really didn't study chemistry. (Grinds her teeth.) System: That's why I've given the Host a formula. When she became one of the project leads, Nan Man sometimes thought how wonderful it would be to have braised pork ribs whenever she wanted. System: Ding! The farm's piglets need feeding. Nan Man: Why are you giving me blueprints for an automatic feeding system? Does your farm raise pigs and build machinery too? System: It's in keeping with the Host's engineering background. When she was temporarily assigned to an aircraft research institute, Nan Man thought, maybe she should stop thinking about food for a while? Then she went and designed an agricultural drone anyway. Similar things kept happening after that. On Nan Man's glorious resume, her primary identity was always that of an astronaut who had made outstanding contributions. But what the world knew her best for was her glittering collection of medals in the field of agriculture. Nan Man: I'm really not a jack-of-all-trades. The damn System made me do it. (Explaining for the umpteenth time.) It all began when an unlucky farm System mistakenly bound itself to an unlucky person... What's it like to transmigrate into a book alongside my grandpa and the province's first private agricultural research institute? Cui Shizhi says it's a mixed bag of sour and sweet! The aristocratic clans all thought the Qinghe Cui family was destined to fall into decline. After all, the main branch had only a nearly fifty-year-old man and a young lady under ten left. Professor Cui said he didn't care whether the family declined, but he was no "old man"! Just look at the beautiful scenery and fertile soil of Qinghe Commandery! Wouldn't it be a waste not to plant the improved high-yield crops and all kinds of cash crops from his agricultural research institute? Cui Shizhi looked at her grandpa, who was determined to get to work farming, and felt even more pressure. Those high-yield crops and valuable cash crops seemed a little dangerous in their hands, didn't they? Luckily, even a starving camel is bigger than a horse. Reviving the family didn't seem all that difficult. Polish the family's reputation among the aristocratic clans every now and then. Work on a few inventions and innovations. Train the family guard every day. Help capable and virtuous clan members get ahead. But what was wrong with the male leads and male supporting characters in the original book? What was with all that talk of political marriages and promises not to let each other down? If they wanted her family's money, grain, and connections, they could just say so. Ha! Those pretty boys really had big dreams! Rather than help scumbag men build their careers and support their mistresses, wouldn't it be better to rise to greatness on her own? P.S. The female lead's name comes from the poem "Seven Admonitions" in the Songs of Chu: "The customs of the age are foul and turbid; my mind is bewildered, and I cannot find the way."
