A young boy from the 1970s, separated from his family, fled famine and led his younger brother into
Chapter 133 Little Nianci's Farm, A New Wonder in the Courtyard
"Look, look! What's going on in the Lu family's backyard? Why is there a new shed?"
"Not only that! I heard chicks chirping inside when I passed by this morning! They were chattering away!"
"Really? They not only grow vegetables, but they also raise chickens?"
Ever since Lu Xingzhou brought those sixty "top-quality" chicks and rabbits home, the Lu family's backyard has become the most eye-catching "landscape" in the entire military compound.
With the help of Lu Xingzhou, an "all-around engineer," a cleverly designed breeding shed was quickly erected next to the greenhouse.
Lu Nianci made full use of her knowledge from her previous life and designed the breeding shed to have two floors.
Chickens are raised on the upper level, separated by wooden boards and wire mesh to facilitate cleaning of chicken droppings.
Rabbits are kept on the lower level, where it's quiet and shaded.
The ventilation, lighting, and insulation of the entire breeding shed have been carefully calculated, making it arguably the most luxurious "chicken coop and rabbit hutch" of this era.
What amazed the uncles and aunts in the compound the most was Lu Nianci's theory of "three-dimensional agriculture".
Every morning, Zhou Yayun would chop up the discarded vegetable leaves and roots from the greenhouse, mix them with some cornmeal, and serve them as a "nutritious breakfast" for the chickens and rabbits.
The chicken and rabbit droppings that were cleaned up were collected by Li Hao's gang of "little brothers" under Lu Nianci's command and put into a specially made large wooden barrel, where some wood ash and water were added and sealed for fermentation.
"Sister Nianci, this...this stinky stuff, can it really be used as fertilizer?" Li Hao asked, pinching his nose with a look of disgust.
"Of course!" Lu Nianci explained with her hands behind her back, like a little expert, "This is called 'organic fermentation.' Through fermentation, the harmful bacteria in this manure are killed, and it is transformed into nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, which vegetables love to absorb. Vegetables grown with this fertilizer not only grow fast but also taste good and are pollution-free!"
"No pollution?" Li Hao scratched his head; this was the first time he had ever heard of this term.
"It means it's good for your health and won't make you sick!" Lu Nianci explained in the simplest terms.
Although adults only had a superficial understanding of these "scientific principles," they saw real and tangible results.
The vegetables in the greenhouse are growing well after being fertilized with this "special fertilizer," with thick, lush green leaves that are even more vibrant than before.
The chicks and rabbits that were carefully fed grew stronger day by day.
The chicks quickly shed their down and grew beautiful feathers, then began chasing and playing in the shed.
The little rabbits grew bigger and bigger, each one plump and strong, looking adorable.
The Lu family's backyard seemed to have transformed into a small, yet vibrant, ecological farm.
Planting and breeding have formed a perfect closed loop here.
Vegetable waste feeds chickens and rabbits, and the chicken and rabbit droppings in turn nourish the vegetables.
Throughout the entire process, there was almost no waste, and all resources were utilized to the fullest extent.
This advanced "ecological cycle" model has broadened the horizons of all the uncles and aunts in the military compound, leaving them in awe.
"My God, I've lived most of my life, and this is the first time I've ever known that land could be cultivated like this, and chickens could be raised like this!"
"Yes! Look at the vegetables at the Lu family's house, so green and vibrant, even better than what they sell at the supply and marketing cooperative! And those chickens, they're all so lively! This little Nianci is truly a prodigy!"
"She's more than just a child prodigy, she's a living saint! With her around, our compound has something to look forward to every winter!"
In an instant, Lu Nianci's reputation reached an unprecedented height in the compound.
Every day, people come to her house to learn how to build a greenhouse, how to prepare feed, and how to ferment organic fertilizer.
Lu Nianci also shared her knowledge and experience without reservation with everyone.
She even started a "science popularization class" to regularly explain some basic planting and breeding knowledge to everyone.
Her small figure moved through the crowd, making her appear as a highly respected "little teacher".
Lu Xingzhou watched all this every day, his heart filled with countless emotions.
He never imagined that his sister, who needed protection, would grow into a "little giant" who could influence and help so many people.
He was proud of her, and also felt...heartache for her.
He knew that she bore too much responsibility and wisdom that was beyond her years.
That evening, he saw Lu Nianci writing furiously under the lamp again and couldn't help but walk over.
"Are you studying your 'business empire' again?" he joked.
Lu Nianci raised her head, rubbed her slightly sore eyes, and shook her head.
"No, I'm doing a test paper."
"The test paper?" Lu Xingzhou was taken aback. He picked up the paper on her desk and his pupils suddenly contracted.
It turned out to be... a math final exam paper for the third year of junior high school!
The function, geometry, and algebra problems above were so complex that even he, a high school graduate, found them somewhat challenging.
However, Lu Nianci had already written more than half of the answers on her exam paper, with neat handwriting and clear steps.
"You...you're doing a junior high exam paper?" Lu Xingzhou's voice was filled with disbelief.
"Hmm." Lu Nianci nodded calmly, as if she were talking about something perfectly ordinary.
"The first grade curriculum is too easy. I already finished studying all the textbooks for six years of primary school last week."
"Therefore, I submitted my application to Principal Wang today."
She looked up at her dumbfounded brother and said, word by word.
"I'm applying to skip a grade in junior high school."
"If I pass, I want to go straight to the third year of junior high school."
"What?!"
Lu Xingzhou's mind went blank with a buzz.
From first grade of elementary school... to the third year of junior high school?
This... this can no longer be described as "genius"!
This is simply "monster"!
Looking at his sister's calm yet determined little face, he suddenly realized that all the shock he had felt before might just be an appetizer.
This girl's journey is to the stars and the sea.
The small military compound couldn't contain her at all.
She is about to reveal her unparalleled brilliance to a wider world in a way that no one could have imagined!
This news was like a bombshell, completely detonating the entire military region's primary school the very next day!
