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

It’s not that Lu Yan wanted to help her because he knew her, but that when everyone else was following the rules, she was the only one who dared to try.

At first, Shen Xingye really didn’t understand her. At most, he thought she was just a person with better cooking skills and a better appetite.

As he got to know more people, he also asked some people to investigate. She opened a workshop and collected sweet potatoes, beans, duck eggs, mushrooms, and later she started collecting rabbits.

Because of her, everyone's enthusiasm was greatly mobilized, and more people started breeding and growing sweet potatoes.

In the past, sweet potatoes were only used as food to fill the stomach and could not be sold at a good price, so everyone just grew a few acres of land and had enough to eat.

The remaining land was used to grow corn so that they could use it to pay taxes, but the corn harvest was relatively small, and they had almost nothing left after paying the taxes.

In the end, people still can’t eat enough. Although the sweet potato yield is high, it is not valuable and cannot pay taxes.

Those with high output cannot pay taxes, and those that can pay taxes have low output, and this cycle repeats itself, so everyone still remains at the stage of not having enough food to eat and not having enough clothes to wear.

But Su Ziling broke this cycle. The sweet potatoes and peas she harvested were more expensive, so everyone was naturally happy to grow them. Moreover, the yield of these two products was also high. From one acre of land, the profit could be much more than from growing corn or wheat.

After selling them and paying taxes, they still have more than half left, which is enough to feed themselves.

Her workshop and the stall in the valley employed many villagers, whose incomes were higher than those of many people in the county town.

As a result, the lives of the villagers have been greatly improved, not only their village, but also the neighboring villages have been boosted.

Even though they were far away, everyone was happy to send them to her when they knew she was harvesting sweet potatoes, beans, mushrooms, etc.

So when she said she wanted to dig a road, he didn't hesitate at all and supported her with all his strength.

Of course, what is more important is what she said at the time: If you want to get rich, build roads first.

Shen Xingye was stunned for a long time. This sentence suddenly enlightened him. This led to the later construction of roads for the villages. Of course, it was not only their village, but also other villages.

During the time he knew Su Ziling, she taught him a lot and he also learned a lot from her.

She always says something inadvertently that seems ordinary, but if you think about it carefully, you will find that it makes a lot of sense.

So, at first he called her Miss Su, Shopkeeper Su, because of Lu Yan, but later, he called her Sister Xiaoqing, because he had regarded her as a confidant, teacher, friend, or as a sister.

It had nothing to do with Lu Yan at this point, it was just because she was Su Ziling.

"What are you going to do next?" Lu Yan looked at him.

Shen Xingye scratched his head, looking a little embarrassed. "I originally wanted to pull out all the seedlings with insects and burn them together."

"I asked those old men, and they said that there are still a few days until Grain in Ear, so it is still in time to pull out the seeds and replant them. So I plan to transfer some seeds and replant them when the time comes."

Lu Yan nodded. His method was feasible. If it were him, he would probably do the same.

"what about now?"

Shen Xingye looked at Su Ziling, "Hey, there's no need to pull them out now. Sister Xiaoqing said she has a way to deal with the bugs. It only takes three to five days, and the cost is very low. But if it's serious, and the bugs have eaten away at the tree to the point where only one stalk is left, you still need to plant new ones."

"I have asked people to count how many villages have been affected by the disaster. However, we don't have enough manpower in the county government. It's too late to go to each village one by one to teach them what to do. So I asked someone to notify them to come to the county tomorrow morning and tell them what to do."

"They will go spray the pesticide first, and we will visit them later."

Hearing him say that Su Ziling had a way, Lu Yan's eyes flashed with surprise. Seeing her here and the tea on the table, he originally thought that she was here to deliver tea.

did not expect……

The corners of Lu Yan's lips curled up slightly, and soon returned to normal. However, when he heard Shen Xingye's name, his eyes became even darker.

"What did you call her?"

Shen Xingye was still immersed in the joy of not being beaten, and didn't notice anything wrong at all, "Sister Xiaoqing, she is only seventeen, three years younger than me."

"Four years old." Lu Yan said coldly.

Shen Xingye was stunned. "How can there be so many? He is only three years old."

Lu Yan glanced at him and said, "It's already the new year, and you're still twenty?"

Shen Xingye: "..."

But, his birthday hasn't come yet. Strictly speaking, he is three years old.

But looking at Lu Yan's eyes, he didn't dare to say anything, so he could only curl his lips and mutter, "Okay, four years old is four years old, she is young anyway, but Xiaoqing sister doesn't care, why should you care about it."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Yan smiled and said, "Miss Su."

Shen Xingye: "What?"

"You keep calling her sister, what will happen if someone hears you? You don't want fame anymore, and she doesn't want it either?"

Shen Xingye: "?"

He scratched his head, a little confused, "No, I heard it, so I heard it. I always treat her as my sister."

Seeing the two bickering like children, Su Ziling's mouth twitched and he muttered, "At most three years old, no more."

Lu Yan tilted his head slightly, his eyes full of confusion, "What?"

Su Ziling didn't expect that he actually heard it. She touched her nose and said, "Well, I think we should set off."

Su Ziling briefly told him about the peach leaf liquid and the fact that two people were going to work in the fields.

"Is this peach leaf liquid really useful?" After hearing her words, Lu Yan still couldn't believe it. Could peach leaves also kill insects?

You know, after he came out of Daliang, he saw many people catching insects along the way. He also asked many old people, and they all said that there had been such insects in previous years, but only occasionally one or two. This year's number was the first time.

They had tried all the methods they had used to get rid of insects, but it was still of no use and they could only catch them with their hands.

He had also asked the old farmers and doctors, but they were all at a loss as to what to do. The only solution was to grab it with your hands.

He also thought about using medicine, but was not sure whether it would work. Later, he sent a letter back to Beijing, but it took time for the letter to go back and forth.

Judging from the current disaster situation, I’m afraid that by the time the letter arrives, the crops will be gone. Another thing is that those good-for-nothings in the capital may not have a solution.

"Of course, if it didn't work I wouldn't come to him. Don't worry, I've tried it. My family has been sprayed. It's been three days including today. This morning, my father and I went to see it, and it was dead cleanly."

"Is it so miraculous? There won't be any toxic residue or other effects?"

"In fact, peach leaves themselves are slightly toxic. When soaked with lime, a chemical reaction will occur..."

As soon as the chemical reaction occurred, Su Ziling immediately shut her mouth, only to see Lu Yan still looking at her. The flash of doubt in his eyes reminded her that he had heard it.

“What is a chemical reaction?”

Su Ziling: "..."

"It's a long story."

Lu Yan nodded, "Then let's make it short."

Su Ziling: "..."

Seeing him nod, she thought this guy wouldn't ask anymore.

Su Ziling gritted his teeth and said, "You wouldn't understand even if I told you."

Lu Yan: "If you don't tell me, I definitely won't understand. How do you know I don't understand if you tell me?"
