"This is a good name." After hearing her explanation, Wang Anan could hardly suppress the smile on her face. "Shen Rui, Shen Rui, do you like Maodou? This is the name your aunt gave you."

It was obvious that Maodou was very satisfied with the name given by Su Ziling. He showed his satisfaction by smiling and drooling.

Coming out of the room, Su Ziling told everyone the name she had chosen, and everyone was obviously quite satisfied with it.

In the blink of an eye, it was late July and it was time for Shen Rui's full moon party. This full moon party was much more lively than the one for Shen Zichen.

More people came, and the restaurants and hotels in the county were closed. Uncle Li and his family also came, as well as the Wang family.

The Wang family also earned a lot of face this time, with a total of 100 eggs, two chickens, clothes, shoes and other things.

It was not easy to get those hundred eggs alone. She had to save them in advance because they could not be stored in the hot weather. So she had to ask every household in the village to keep them.

Compared to the last time with the Bai family, nothing went wrong this time.

Speaking of the Bai family, they also came this time. It was Bai Shu who came. He brought thirty eggs, two barrels of rice, new clothes for Su Zichen, and a chicken and a few feet of cloth for Bai Wei.

This time was different from the last time. There was no color on her face and she was in a cheerful mood. When she saw Su Zichen, she smiled from ear to ear and gave him a small purse, but no one knew how much money was in it.

After meeting Bai Wei and her son, he went to see Su Ziling on purpose.

Bai Shu scratched his head, looking a little embarrassed. "I took good care of the chayote you gave me and planted them well. They grew well and bore fruit densely. There were about three to four hundred fruits on one tree. We ate some ourselves, and they tasted really good."

"Whether stir-fried or boiled, or cooked with bones, they are delicious. They will be ripe next month, and we can sell them at the market then."

"The corn is also good this year. I planted it according to the method you taught me. I just planted the sweet potatoes two days ago. All the corn fields are planted with sweet potatoes. They will be delivered after they are dug in October."

He spoke very seriously and explained everything one by one, and Su Ziling was a little confused.

At first I thought he was just asking about the sales of chayote, but as I listened I felt confused. Why did this sound a bit like a work report?

Bai Shu continued, "We have several chickens at home. We also have two ducks, one male and one female. The female duck has laid a lot of eggs. We will give the eggs to the hen in a couple of days. We will wait until next year and they will be ready for the season."

"I used the money from selling mushrooms this year to buy two piglets at the market to feed. We can also kill pigs next year."

Su Ziling didn't say anything for a long time. Bai Shu scratched his head. "Am I too long-winded? I said too much? I just want to tell you that I have the final say at home now. Everything is going in a good direction. Xiaowei can go home without worry. With me here, no one dares to say a word."

"I won't let her stay overnight. She can stay as long as she wants and she doesn't have to worry about other people's opinions. Although I know she may not want to go back now, I want to tell her that as long as I am here, it will always be her home."

Su Ziling nodded, "I know, Third Aunt also knows, she has never blamed you, work hard, and you will have a bright future. She will take Ah Xiu and her brother back when she has time."

"Hey!" Bai Shu finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing her words. He didn't want to cling to the Su family, he just wanted to be nicer to his sister.

August is a season of harvest.

Every household in Nanning Prefecture was in a festive mood. They went to the fields before dawn every day and were reluctant to go home even after dark.

This year, there is a bumper corn harvest. While the weather is good, everyone wants to harvest it quickly so that they can feel at ease after harvesting.

This has been the only thing I've been looking forward to for the past six months. The harvest is almost over, and it would be disastrous if it rains.

The fields were filled with laughter and shouts from everyone.

"Mr. Li, how is your family?"

"Hey, you mean corn? It's not bad. I estimate it's about 15 or 16 percent more than last year."

"You kid, is that okay? You have a lot of land, and an extra 15% would mean several hundred kilograms of extra food."

"Hehe, keep a low profile, but this planting method with ridges and furrows is really good. Not only does it increase the corn yield, but it also allows us to grow more things."

"Yes, this piece of land has corn, sweet potatoes, beans, and sunflower seeds. I heard that she also harvests sweet potatoes, which cost two cents for three pounds. My family has planted all of them. I estimate that I can sell them for seven or eight taels of silver."

"I heard that she also collects beans, saying that she uses them to press oil. Let's make an appointment with some people and send them to her house someday."

"Okay, I have one weighing about 70 or 80 kilograms at home, too. Call me when you go."

"Oh, OK!"

Soybean oil was first pressed last year. Su Ziling had only pressed lacquer seeds and tea fruit before, so this was the first time he pressed soybeans.

She thought that since they were all oil pressing, the process would be roughly the same, so she took Su's father and the others to tinker with it.

First fry it, grind it with a stone mill, steam it in a pot, finally form it into cakes and stuff it with wooden wedges, and finally hit it. The steps are basically the same, and I didn't expect that they could actually figure it out.

In August, the heat wave is overwhelming, but it still can't stop the enthusiasm for the harvest.

The same thing happened to the Su family. Everyone got up before daybreak. Except for Wang Anan and Grandma Su, everyone else went to the fields.

Wang Anan had to take care of the children at home and cook for everyone. Grandma Su helped feed the chickens and the rest of the time she was spent peeling corn husks.

This month, not only Su Ziling was waiting, but Shen Xingye was also waiting. After nearly a year of hard work, it was finally time to check the results.

Knowing that the harvest had begun, he couldn't sit still and went to the nearby village to take a look. He had been there last year and everyone remembered him.

He also helped harvest corn and experienced the feeling of a good harvest. In the end, the village father-in-law even invited him to have dinner.

After the crops are harvested, he starts to register the data. This is the most important thing. Whether ridge planting and intercropping can be implemented depends entirely on this wave.
