A young boy from the 1970s, separated from his family, fled famine and led his younger brother into

"Go and measure those bamboo poles according to the dimensions on your drawings, and mark them."

"This kind of rough work is not suitable for you."

To Lu Nianci at this moment, Lu Xingzhou's commanding tone, full of male chauvinism, was no less than heavenly music.

She looked at the icy-skinned man in front of her, his sleeves rolled up, clumsily using a small brush to clean the dirty and smelly plastic sheets, and felt both amused and touched.

She no longer held back in her politeness towards him.

"Okay! You're the best, brother!"

She responded sweetly, and then, like a happy little rabbit, turned and ran off to deal with the bamboo poles.

Thus, a strange yet heartwarming scene unfolded in the Lu family's backyard.

Lu Xingzhou, the older brother, who was known as the "Living Yama" in the army and feared by everyone, was now like an ordinary family man, diligently cleaning up the mountain of "garbage".

Meanwhile, her younger sister, Lu Nianci, acted like an experienced chief engineer, holding a tape measure and a pencil, precisely measuring, calculating, and drawing lines on the bamboo poles of varying lengths.

Her small, delicate hands held the pen with unusual composure.

Her mind worked incredibly fast, calculating every single detail with precision.

How can these discarded bamboo poles of varying lengths be cut and spliced ​​in the most reasonable way to form a sturdy and beautiful semi-circular dome?

The geometry, mechanics of materials, and structural engineering involved would probably take even a professional engineer half a day to calculate, let alone an ordinary person.

But Lu Nianci seemed to do it effortlessly.

Sometimes she frowned in thought, and sometimes her pen flew across the page.

In less than half an hour, she had planned out all the bamboo poles clearly.

It is clearly marked which beam will be the main beam, which will be the secondary beam, which beam needs to be cut, and which beam needs to be spliced.

Lu Xingzhou watched from the side, his shock growing ever greater.

He discovered that his understanding of his younger sister seemed to be forever limited to "the tip of the iceberg".

You might think she's just smart, but she can bend a tin pencil box with her bare hands.

You might think she's just strong, but she can play a game of chess with the flair of military strategy.

You might think she's just good at chess, but she's actually willing to ask the Gu family for an enormous favor for an old janitor.

And now, she has shown him her incredible talent in architecture!

Just how many secrets is hidden in this little girl's mind?

What kind of "demon" is she exactly?

……

In the following days, the entire Lu family went into a state of "total mobilization".

During the day, Lu Zhenguo and Lu Xingzhou go to work at the military base.

The tasks of cleaning and mending the plastic sheeting, as well as cutting and polishing the bamboo poles, fell to Zhou Yayun and Lu Nianci.

Zhou Yayun was initially skeptical, thinking her daughter was just fooling around. But when she saw her daughter's focused and serious expression and the increasingly impressive design, she was gradually inspired.

She didn't ask any more questions, but silently picked up her needle and thread and pieced together the clean plastic sheets one by one, following the pattern her daughter had drawn.

Her hands, which used to only hold scalpels and spatulas, are now surprisingly adept at needlework.

Lu Nianci became the chief commander and chief designer of the project.

The first thing she does when she gets home from school every day is run to the backyard to check on the "construction progress".

"Mom, this piece of fabric is sewn crooked, it will let in drafts, you need to take it apart and redo it."

"The stitches here aren't tight enough, so we need to sew two more layers, otherwise it will easily tear in the strong winter winds."

She demands perfection in every detail with a professionalism and rigor that is completely out of character for her age.

Zhou Yayun was constantly being bossed around by her, and sometimes she couldn't help but complain, "You're even harder to please than the head of our hospital!"

Despite her complaints, she didn't dare to be careless with her work.

Because she saw a light called "dream" in her daughter's bright eyes.

And she is willing to give her all for her daughter's dream.

In the evening, Lu Zhenguo and Lu Xingzhou returned home from get off work.

After finishing their meal, the father and son went to the backyard without saying a word and started doing "carpentry work".

Lu Zhenguo was in charge of using a saw to cut the bamboo poles one by one, following the lines drawn by Lu Nianci.

Lu Xingzhou was responsible for using sandpaper to smooth the cut edges to prevent them from tearing the plastic sheeting.

Both father and son were former soldiers and had exceptional practical skills.

One possesses immense strength, the other is precise and meticulous.

The two worked together seamlessly and were extremely efficient.

Even Li Hao, who had completely become Lu Nianci's "number one underling," would bring his "brothers" to the Lu family every day after school.

They couldn't do any technical work, so they were responsible for helping to move things and clean up. They worked with great enthusiasm, even more so than in physical education class.

For a time, the Lu family's backyard became the liveliest and most eye-catching place in the entire military compound.

Everyone was curious about what exactly the Lu family was up to.

Is it building a chicken coop? Or a pigeon loft?

No one believed that they were building a "miracle house" that could grow vegetables in winter.

Everyone was eager to see the Lu family make a fool of themselves, with a "the more the merrier" mentality.

However, they were destined to be disappointed.

One week later.

With the joint efforts of the whole family, a semi-circular "white giant egg" with a futuristic and sci-fi feel, about ten meters long, five meters wide, and nearly three meters high, miraculously rose from the ground in the Lu family's backyard!

When the last piece of patched plastic sheeting was tightly covered over the bamboo frame.

When the warm winter sun shines through the translucent film into the "greenhouse".

Everyone involved in the project exclaimed in disbelief!

"Oh my god! This...it's so much warmer in here than outside!"

Zhou Yayun was the first to rush in. She felt the warmth that rushed towards her, so different from the outside, and was so excited that she couldn't speak coherently.

Lu Zhenguo also went inside. Looking at the sturdy and beautiful dome structure and the bright interior space illuminated by the sunlight, his usually serious face revealed an undisguised shock and... ecstasy!

Become!

It really did!

His daughter's seemingly "far-fetched" plan actually became a reality!

Only Lu Nianci.

She stood at the entrance of the greenhouse, looking at the "work" that embodied countless efforts of her and her family, and at the land bathed in sunlight, about to be sown with hope.

A satisfied and confident smile appeared on her innocent little face.

This is just the first step.

Everything is about to begin to sprout from this small "greenhouse"!

However, just as everyone was basking in the joy of success, an extremely pointed question was once again placed before them.

The greenhouse is finished.

But what about the seeds?
