'Still, even if the wood ear mushrooms can't be mass-produced, at least we managed to grow them. This is a significant step forward. The rest will be a slow process of figuring out how to make them grow more plentifully and faster.'
After checking on the mushrooms, Juhua glanced around Meizi's backyard. Seeing the neat and tidy pigsty, vegetable garden, and fruit trees, she smiled at Meizi and said, "Meizi, look how well you've organized your home! You're even more capable than your own mother. You used to say you didn't know how to run a household, but look at you now! This is wonderful!"
Meizi listened, smiling proudly, but said, "What's so great about it? It's a far cry from your place. Juhua, how did you plant so many vegetables and have them all grow so well? Look at my hulu gourd—I have no idea what happened, it was perfectly fine and then it just died."
