How Do I Explain to My Elders That I Go to an Agriculture University?!

Ye Tian transmigrated, returning to the impoverished, barren 1970s.

She had gone from being a 28-year-old, dark-skinned agricultural PhD student to a sixteen-year-old, fair-skinned high school student.

She was so delighted she could have howled at the sky. Ever since she got into agricultural college at sixteen, her fair skin had never come back! This time, she had to take good care of it.

Then she discovered that she had transmigrated to her own hometown. Hadn't she come here to enjoy the good life?

As the family's "elder," everyone would have to listen to her!

She never imagined that her hometown's houses were built of mud and stone, that people ate rice bran and bean pulp cakes, and that they drank pure, natural mineral water.

Even with her status as an elder, she had to eat chaff and greens every day. This was not the good life at all.

Then, somehow, word got around that she was a college student.

And things started to go wrong.

Her brother brought her a flashlight and asked if she could fix it. Her sister brought her clothes and asked if she could mend them prettily and add some embroidery. The village elder asked if she could run power lines to the village.

Ye Tian was so embarrassed she wanted to sink into the ground. She had studied agricultural science. Maybe she was actually good at farming?

How about she show them how to dig soil instead?

Once they found out, the elders in the family pinned her down and gave her a beating.

They bluntly said they didn't want to live with a fool whose head was full of water!

Anyone could farm. Going to college to learn it was so stupid it beggared belief.

Ye Tian: ...You may look down on me now, but in the future, you won't even be able to reach me.

She brought out the superior varieties she'd brought with her: Explosive No. 1 corn, with huge ears, full kernels, and a small cob. One ear was worth more than six!

Platinum No. 2 sweet potatoes: three tubers to a vine, each weighing over two jin.

There were also high-yield seeds for potatoes, millet, cabbage, and more.

Watching everyone else's jaws drop, she raised her chin and gave a smug little snort.

Then... she got another beating.

Ye Tian: Damn, is there no sibling love left in this family?!

Theme: Everyone should have enough to eat and good clothes to wear.
