  Having an ability like chicken ribs, Shu Yao didn't have much hope for her personal space. Inside the personal space were twelve plots of land, only one of which had been cultivated, while the other eleven couldn't be cultivated even if Shu Yao broke them up with a pickaxe. After some thought, Shu Yao realized that her personal space needed to be upgraded gradually. She could only resign herself to planting ordinary radishes on the first plot of land, something that any commoner could do.

  The living space is not large, estimated to be only a few acres of land. Not far from the land, there is a well. Whether in modern times or ancient times, Shu Yao was someone who had food delivered to her mouth and clothes handed to her. In her past life, she was busy to the point where girls' favorite activity of going shopping couldn't be squeezed into her schedule. Every day, she wore military attire. Watching TV or movies were a waste of time for her. Each meal was delivered by a dedicated guard, and Shu Yao only needed to open her mouth to eat.

  Shu Yao, a delicate girl raised in the inner courtyard, didn't know the difference between the five grains. She walked around the well several times before figuring out how to get water up. The lever and pulley system was familiar to her as a pure science student, and the memories from her past life were finally useful. Shu Yao's eyes welled up with tears as she personally tied the rope of the pulley to the frame on the well, securing it firmly. With great effort, she managed to haul up half a bucket of water from the well.

  The well water is clear and refreshing, like a sweet spring. Shu Yao squats beside the wooden bucket, very suspicious whether this water can be drunk? There's no washing stomach here, diarrhea is a matter of life and death, Shu Yao doesn't dare to try it. Using the well water to irrigate the reclaimed land, she busied herself for a long time. Shu Yao wipes away her sweat, laboring without feeling glorious, so tiring.

  Shu Yao sat on the ground with her knees tucked in, taking a break beside the field. The space was large enough to cover a thatched hut. Shu Yao had given up for a simple reason: she was lazy and afraid of trouble, thinking she could build it later when she had time. But Shu Yao had overlooked one thing - where would the thatch come from? It wasn't just a matter of casually building a doghouse; even a simple thatched hut needed beams.

  Shu Yao stretched her waist, the space was not sunny but warm and bright. If it weren't for the four seasons of day and night, the portable space had some uses. Shu Yao saw that there was mud on her hands, estimated the time, and then washed her hands with well water again, and poured the water into the radish field by the way.

  "Crops can't lack water, right? Right." Shu Yao nodded affirmatively, "Can't."

  After a moment's thought, Shu Yao left her personal space and lay back on the bed. The exhausted farmer Shu Yao slept extremely soundly. By the time the sun was high in the sky, Shu Xuan had finished practicing his sword dance in the study and was asking questions of Mr. Shi. Shu Yi strolled out of the mansion to meet a friend. Zhi Yuan went to the government office to take care of some last-minute business. After taking care of most things, Guan Er Jia Shi came to Shu Yao's courtyard and asked as soon as she entered, "Where is Yaoyao?"

  "Go back, miss, and take a little rest."

  "A short rest, I think he hasn't woken up yet."

  Taozi and Meizi pursed their lips, not daring to make a sound. Guwalgiya called over the wet nurse, Qi Hua, "You spoil Yau, it's not good to always indulge her, you're harming her."

  Qī's mother was ashamed and flustered, she was an honest person. After nursing Shū Yáo, when Shū Yáo became the master and her own dear daughter, she couldn't bear to see Shū Yáo suffer any injustice, so she took all the blame upon herself: "I know I'm wrong, I'm willing to accept punishment."

  The wet nurse who attended to Shu Yao, the maidservant, the laundry woman, and the little maid who swept the floor and fetched water were all personally selected by Guwalgiya. She knew their temperaments very well. "Forget it, even if I had to spare that lazy girl, let her be idle for a few more days. After returning to Beijing, Shu Yao won't have such comfort and freedom."

  "Is the mistress letting Miss and her cousin live together?" Qi Mama was a straightforward person, "I'm afraid Miss will be taken advantage of."

  "You all underestimate Shu Yao, she's afraid of trouble and doesn't like to speak out, but that doesn't mean she'll let people bully her. Just wait and see how many people will end up kicking a brick."

  Gual Jia went to wake up Shu Yao, hanging the curtain that fell to the ground on the golden hook, and spreading out the quilt where the humiliated girl had slept. Two curved eyebrows slightly frowned, Gual Jia lovingly poked her daughter's tender face, "Yao'er, Yao'er."

  Xiuyao squirmed a few times, "So tired, so tired."

  So tired? Guajia's forehead was jumping up and down, Shuyao still slept tired? She pushed her daughter: "You should get up."

  Shu Yao rolled into bed and waved her hand as if shooing away annoying mosquitoes, "Sleep is the best."

  Guarjia reached out and pulled Shu Yao up, "I'm your mother, get up."

  "Mother." Shu Yao blinked drowsily, "Let me sleep a little longer, I'm so tired."

  Guarjia helped her daughter Shuyao fasten her buttons and casually asked: "What made you so tired?"

  "Till the land and plant wheat, water it and grow radishes."

  "Pffft." Taozi, holding a copper basin, knelt down and said: "This slave deserves to die."

  Shu Yao pouted, what she said was the truth, why didn't anyone believe her? Shu Yao regretted going to the space to grow radishes, her shoulders and arms ached, in two lifetimes she had never done such physically demanding work. The portable space sounded impressive, but it was actually useless.

  "After you've planted the radishes, remember to save some for me, your mother loves to eat them."

  "Oh."

  Gua Lijia's words were originally joking, but Shu Yao answered very seriously. Taizi Mei Zi, who was guarding beside him, curiously sized up his master and wondered if he had gone crazy from sleep? Normally, he wouldn't even mention farming or walking a few more steps, let alone be so enthusiastic about it.

  After putting on her shoes, Shu Yao suddenly said: "Mother, you're cheating."

  The girls finally got their way, and their master eventually came around.

  "Ahma doesn't like eating radish."

  Gua Lijia pinched Shu Yao's ear, "How could I, a dignified... a dignified... give birth to such a muddle-headed girl like you."

  "Ow, ow, Mama, it hurts."

  Xiu Yao's eyes were misty, and Gua Erjia let go of her hand to gently rub her daughter's ears, sighing: "You still remember that your mother didn't like radishes, it wasn't easy."

  "I remember that my eldest brother can eat anything, he loves West Lake vinegar fish the most. My second brother doesn't show his preferences, I think he likes light meals, and he really likes soft-shell turtle soup. My mother likes sweet food, but she dislikes garlic sprouts the most. As for my father, as long as it's delicious, he likes everything, except for radish."

  Xiu Yao raised a smiling face, "You see, my daughter is not useless, she remembers everything."

  Her father in the previous life was a hawkish military man of the Republic, stationed on the border for many years. Her mother was a military doctor who loved her father dearly and left her with her grandfather to take care of while she accompanied her father to the border. Shu Yao's grandfather was a famous general who had very strict requirements for her, managing everything in a militarized manner. She rarely saw her parents, and it was considered good fortune if they could meet once every few years.

  After Shu Yao was recruited, she understood her father's love for the Republic and never blamed her parents. In Shu Yao's heart, she yearned for her parents' love and care. The Shu Mu Lu family gave Shu Yao familial love and care, and she buried herself in Gual Jia Shi's arms. Shu Yao secretly vowed that no one would destroy her family or harm her parents and brother. Although the technology was backward, relying on the accumulation of past lives, Shu Yao had the ability to create earth-shattering explosives. Laziness did not equal weakness or vulnerability.

  Shu Yao's academic performance was extremely polarized, being a genius in science and a complete failure in liberal arts, proving the saying that "genius and fool are separated by only a thin line". From undergraduate to Ph.D., Shu Yao scored full marks in all science exams, while scoring single digits in humanities, history and philosophy, making him a renowned talent in the military.
