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

After Lu Yan left, Su Ziling had no time to think about him. It was already mid-April when all the seeds in the fourteen counties and two states of Nanning Prefecture were planted.

The villages where the seeds were first planted can now start applying the first batch of manure.

She had to remind Shen Xingye, otherwise she would miss the best time and it would be useless to catch up after the corn seedlings had lost their fertilizer.

Fortunately, she had told everyone how to apply fertilizer before. When she went to see, everyone was doing a good job. The weeds in the field had been pulled out cleanly, and the manure was about three to five inches away from the roots of the corn.

"Miss Su, how do you think we are doing in this dung chase?"

Even though Su Ziling had said many times that people didn't need to call her Miss Su and could just call her by her name, people still couldn't change their ways.

One reason is that she was sent by the county magistrate to teach them how to farm, and the other reason is that she is very capable and knows a lot, so she deserves to be called a girl.

"Very good. Was this rain the day before yesterday?" Looking at the neatly grown corns, Su Ziling nodded with satisfaction.

"Yes, it was sunny the day before yesterday morning. I wanted to chase him in the afternoon, but I didn't let him. The ground was too muddy. Once I stepped on it, the mud was washed away. I guess the manure was also washed away by the mud on my feet."

"We spent the whole afternoon in the sun the day before yesterday, and we only started chasing yesterday morning. We didn't chase them during the day because the sun was strong, and then we chased them a little in the afternoon, and we chased them all morning this morning. We have almost finished chasing them all."

The corn is growing very well, it is very dark in color, and the stalks are particularly thick. The beans in the middle of the corn are also growing very well, and are already bigger than the corn itself.

"It's okay. The weeds were removed cleanly and the manure was applied well. The corn, beans, and sunflower seeds are growing well. We have to pay attention to whether there are insects later, such as borers, thrips, and armyworms. If insects are found, prepare medicine as soon as possible. The prescription is still the same as last year. Do you remember it?" Su Ziling nodded and said.

It's good in every way, except that, well... it smells a bit strong.

"I remember, I remember. I taught you that last year. Don't worry, you won't forget it." The village chief nodded repeatedly.

"In addition to insects, you also have to pay attention to the grass. Don't let the grass grow too big, otherwise it will compete with the corn for nutrients. Also, the corn needs to be fertilized with soil. Wait until the soil is dry and you don't need to use a hoe, then fertilize it. Pile the soil on both sides on the roots of the corn to cover the manure."

"Then we can apply the second fertilizer, which is when the corn is budding. It is also applied after it rains, and the precautions are the same, but when the second fertilizer is applied, the corn is bigger, so there is no need to add soil again."

"You guys should remember the time. I don't think I will be free to come by then."

The village chief and several villagers behind him listened very carefully, and nodded repeatedly when they heard her words. "Hey, don't worry, we have all remembered it. If there are any problems, we will come to you."

"Looking for me? That's not far. By the time you find me, I'm afraid the flowers will be cold by the time I come here. In fact, you don't have to go too far, just go to the county or town. There are many precautions and possible problems. I have written them down in detail."

"I have taught them, so don't worry, if there are any problems they can handle them, and if they can't handle them there will be someone to tell me."

"Okay, then we feel relieved." A group of people walked around and looked around, and when they saw grass in the fields, Su Ziling would help pull it.

"Miss Su, why didn't you meet Master Lu this time?"

It had been a while since she heard Lu Yan's name. When she heard it suddenly, she was distracted for a moment. The smile on her face faded a little, but her voice was still steady. "He has something to do. He is somewhere else."

"Look at what I'm asking, old man. The whole Nanning Prefecture is like this. You definitely can't finish the race by yourself. It would be much faster if you were to run separately."

Su Ziling smiled and didn't explain.

We kept walking along the ground. The air after the rain was filled with the fragrance of soil. Of course, now it smelled like manure.

But it will only stink for two days. When the soil is no longer sticky to the hoe, cover it with manure and the smell will disappear.

"Hmm?" Su Ziling suddenly squatted down, and the people behind him gathered around.

I saw a nest of chicken mushrooms under the ground, which were white and clean, and quite plump.

She plucked two, turned around and said to everyone with a smile: "We are in for a treat today."

"Oh, Santa Mushroom, it's out pretty early this year."

“Is this the first mushroom of the year?”

"Hehe, that's not true. I picked a few flowers and ate them a few days ago. I made a pot of soup with them. It was so delicious."

"Hey! You are so tight-lipped. I said I smelled something that day, but you insisted it wasn't mushrooms. It seems like you are eating alone."

The village chief nodded and said, "It is coming out. It was released around this time in previous years. It is only starting to be released now, so it is not enough to eat. After a while, you won't be able to finish it."

Su Ziling plucked a handful of chicken mushrooms and just stood up when she heard him say, "Uncle, you have chicken mushrooms here..." She quickly changed the topic, "You have a lot of Santa mushrooms here?"

"A lot. Now, the little ones that come out are rushed to eat by these greedy boys. In a few days, the mountains will be covered with patches of them. We have to pick them up by the baskets and we won't be able to eat them all."

Pieces of Alpinia hortensis?

Carrying one basket after another?

Listening to his words, Su Ziling's face was full of envy. She had only seen this kind of scene in her dreams.

They had them in their previous life, but only in a few nests at most. Now, there are some in Baihua Cave, but very few.

There are such places in other villages, but not in large groups like what he described.

Perhaps he saw the envy in her eyes, so he said, "Do you like to eat it? Then I'll pick up more for you and send it to you. This thing is only rare when it's just released. After ten days or half a month, you won't want to eat it anymore."

"There are so many corns in the cornfields and mountains that you can't even pick them all."

"Uncle, do you think we can pick up 1,800 kilograms of mushrooms?"

The more he spoke, the brighter Su Ziling's eyes became, and suddenly an idea popped into his mind.

"You mean all of them?" The village chief scratched his head. "We've never weighed them. We just picked the best ones and ate as much as we could. We dried the leftovers and used them to make soup in winter."

As he said this, he looked at the people behind him and said, "Ermaozi, you guys pick the most mushrooms. You carry them home in baskets. Tell me, can you pick 1,800 kilograms a year?"

The man scratched his head. "More than that, right? I have to carry seven or eight baskets a year, and each basket can hold thirty or forty kilograms. Besides the cornfields and the hills we often go to, I've also seen them in other places, but I always go too late, and large areas of them have rotted."

"So many?" Su Ziling muttered quietly, "Uncle, we've almost finished our rounds here, let's go back. I've seen that the corn and beans are all good. Wait another two or three days, and you guys will be fine once you cultivate the soil."

"Later, we just need to pay attention to weeds and insects. There's also time to apply the second coat of fertilizer. The last thing is sweet potatoes. Didn't I tell you last time that my family harvests sweet potatoes? If you're interested in planting them, you can plant them when the corn husks start to turn yellow."

"Yes, yes. Since you take care of us so much, we have to plant some crops. We will earn a lot of money from planting this acre of land."

They also heard about the price of sweet potatoes, so they were naturally excited.
