Whose farming family has the male protagonist giving three piglets as a gift at the beginning?

"I was thinking that the climate over there seems to be more suitable for growing tea leaves. Why don't we let them grow it?"

Seeing that Su Ziling's expression did not change, she continued, "The fish, shrimp and snails in the river can no longer be caught. After that time, the snails are no longer fat. If you keep catching them, they will be gone in no time."

"Last time I went to your uncle's house, they said that they no longer go to fish every day, but only once at each market. I thought that without this income, the only thing left would be konjac tofu."

"And their konjac can't be dug..."

"Mother." Su Ziling interrupted her, turned his head and looked at her with a hint of amusement in his eyes.

"You don't have to be so cautious. I didn't say I disagree. Wait a little longer. When you're done here, go to your uncle's house and ask him then."

Uncle Li's place is indeed more suitable for growing tea trees. The tea grown there will be better than the ones grown here in terms of taste, color, and other aspects.

The most important thing is that her family is really too busy. She is not very ambitious and just needs to manage the businesses well. It is enough to make Baihua Cave rich.

Even those villages that are far away can be driven.

Mother Su breathed a sigh of relief, then smiled, "I was just afraid that you would disagree. After all, you were the one who taught me how to make tea leaves, and if I want to plant tea trees, I have to ask you. We also plant corn and sweet potatoes."

She paused and said, "No, I don't know how to grow corn, sweet potatoes, etc. I have been growing them for so many years, but the harvest is so poor that people will starve to death. Once your intercropping method came out, the harvest has improved a lot. That's right."

"We also mentioned the intercropping issue to your uncle last time we went to his house. Your father and I are not good at speaking, and we don't know if we explained it clearly. You will have to explain it again some other day."

"Okay, no problem. I'll go there once I'm done with what I'm doing."

Su Ziling agreed with a smile.

It is necessary to go there, and it has to be done early. Intercropping is one thing, tea is another. What she wants to talk about most is mushrooms.

I have to remind them to pick mushrooms early. The mushrooms at Uncle Li’s place come out earlier and there are more varieties, so I have to give them a heads up in advance.

This year she plans to collect mushrooms from the nearby mountains, and if possible, even from those further away.

Mushroom jam is so delicious and sells well. Now that she is making it, she plans to make a big one.

Last year she didn't have enough money and was not familiar with the situation, but this year she has experience, so she is sure to make this money.

When the two arrived home, Liu and the others had already gone home, and Grandma Su was sweeping the yard alone.

When she heard the door open, she just looked up and said, "You're back."

"Aunt, this circle is a little wet. We need to put another bale of hay under it. Should we use the one on top of the circle?"

"Yes, that's right, the one above the cowshed, just pull a bundle down." Grandma Su replied.

"Uncle Yonghe?"

Su Ziling was quite surprised to see him, "Why are you here?"

Hearing her words, Grandma Su glanced at her and lowered her voice, "Why are you talking like that?"

Su Ziling stuck out his tongue.

Grandma Su then said, "Your uncle Yonghe came to help me feed the pigs. They were just a few little pigs, and he was really afraid of tripping me over."

Su Yonghe grinned, "Didn't my niece tell me to keep an eye on it? This pigpen is a bit slippery, so I'm just pouring pig food, it's something I can do easily."

He put the hay in place, closed the door, clapped his hands, and came over to help Su Ziling unload the truck.

Looking at the tea leaves in the basket, he asked, "Why did you pick so many leaves? Are they also wild vegetables?"

"No, it's tea." Seeing him unloading the truck, Su Ziling locked up the cow.

"Tea?" Su Yonghe muttered, "You know so much."

"I heard it from others. You know, there are so many merchants passing by. Just ask more and try a few more times, and it will work."

She said it too lightly, but Su Yonghe was not stupid. He had seen those businessmen and the escort teams before. He had delivered things to them several times, and none of those people were easy to talk to.

That's not a matter of courage. Sometimes even if you ask, people may not be able to tell you.

"That's just you. As for others, I don't think it's possible."

Su Ziling smiled and didn't respond, "Is the workshop closed?"

"After harvesting, it was pitch black inside and we couldn't see clearly, so we called it a day. But the yield was still good and even increased a bit."

Since the workshop was handed over to him, Su Yonghe has also learned a lot of new words from Su Ziling.

The workshop is close by, so if he doesn't understand something or has any problem, he can handle it quickly. If he can't handle it, he will come to Su Ziling.

He got the hang of it quickly, and with his help, Su Ziling felt much more relaxed.

"I feel relieved to have you watching over me. By the way, we will have to expand the workshop a little more in a while, and build another one next to it."

"Expand?" Su Yonghe frowned. "We can put the expansion on hold for now. There are only so many sweet potatoes this year. This small workshop can fully produce them. There is no need to spend the money."

"After this wave of visits this year, the second half of the year will be the focus. We can expand again in the second half of the year."

"Set up a new workshop. What are you going to use it for?"

"Mushroom sauce!" Su Ziling smiled happily. "This is also the key point. I have visited many villages. When mushrooms are available, I will find a few people to go to those villages to teach them how to recognize mushrooms. It will probably be very lively this year."

Speaking of mushroom jam, Su Yonghe obviously thought of the scene last year. "Okay, then we'll build another mushroom workshop next to it. The sweet potato workshop can be expanded in the second half of the year when it's not busy. After this period of time, the news that we're harvesting sweet potatoes has spread. There will be more people planting in the second half of the year, so there's still time to expand in the second half of the year."

"Okay, I'll talk to my grandpa and the others later. By the way, Uncle Yonghe, let's have dinner here tonight."

While Su Ziling was unloading his things, his mother had already started preparing dinner.

"No, no, I'll just go home and eat. My grandma and the others have prepared it." Su Yonghe waved his hands and was about to leave, but Grandma Su stopped him.

"Yonghe, let's eat at home. It's all ready. Don't leave. Let's eat here."

Since the elder wanted to stay, he couldn't refuse. If he refused, it would be immature.

Su Ziling put the bucket of vegetables next to the well, and started to make a fire to fry some tea leaves. She could fry two more pots tonight, and then fry for another morning tomorrow. She estimated that she would be done.

"Grandma, please help me light a fire so I can roast some tea leaves."

"I'll do it, I'll do it, I'll live it." Su Yonghe moved a stool, squatted in the yard and started a fire.

The pot for frying tea leaves was placed in the utility room. It had not been used for more than half a year and was covered with dust. Su Ziling took it out and cleaned it before putting it on the stove.

When Su Zizhong and the others came back, Su Ziling had already fried two pots of tea.

"Wow, it's so lively today." Twenty was carrying things, looking happy, and he no longer looked like a guard.

Wearing a coarse linen shirt and walking with Su Zizhong, everyone would just say they were brothers.

Su Yonghe stood up and looked at the expressionless Su Zizhong and joked, "I heard that Zizhong has found a partner? How is it? When can I drink your wedding wine?"
