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

Everyone only focused on the scalper, Su's father who was carrying the burden, Su Zimu who had just returned from the academy, and even Su Ziling was completely ignored.

"Dear me, this cow is really..." Mother Su wanted to say it was really strong, but after walking around for a while and looking at the butt, she immediately changed her mind and said, "It's so big!"

The third uncle and others also gathered around, "Did you buy a cow?" Everyone couldn't put it down and touched it again and again. It was so rare.

There are seventy or eighty households in Baihuadong, and only one in the village has cattle. His family is small, but his family is the fastest in plowing and harvesting every spring and autumn.

There was only one cow, and no one could borrow it even if they wanted to. Those with a lot of labor basically did it themselves, while those with a small labor force couldn't afford to hire anyone, so they had to bite the bullet and do it themselves.

"This cow is great!" Mr. Su touched the cow's head. "Don't look at it now. If you raise it carefully during this period, it will be fat by the autumn harvest."

With the cow, it can save a lot of effort whether it is spring plowing or autumn harvest. It can also carry things on daily basis, and the manure it produces can be used to fertilize the corn next year.

Mr. Su started to pick off the saddle, "You also bought this cow saddle? It cost a lot of money, right?"

"The saddle was a gift from the uncle who bought the cow. The cow cost twenty taels of silver." Before Su Ziling put down the basket on her back, Su's mother came over to take the cow rope and waved her hand to signal her to put down the basket.

When they heard twenty taels of silver, everyone nodded. It was almost the same price, and it wasn't expensive.

The two uncles looked at each other, they didn't dare to think about twenty taels of silver, but they probably had no hope before, but now they are selling tofu, I guess they can buy it in half a year.

Buying cattle has probably become the obsession of all farmers.

"This cow has walked all the way. Give it some water." Mr. Su looked at Su's mother. "The second brother's family, go get some hot water and put some salt on it. I have to go crazy and build a shed, otherwise It had no place to sleep at night.”

"Brother, let's help you. I think the place next to the pig pen is quite suitable. We can fight together." The third uncle took the tool and pointed to the empty space next to the pig pen.

Mr. Su nodded. He really didn't have time today. He could only build a frame and cover the roof. "That's okay. Let's build a simple one next to it first and then we can start tinkering with it tomorrow."

"Pig pen?" Su Zimu looked at the lonely thatched house in the corner of the yard and blinked.

He has only been gone for ten days. Isn't this a big change? I almost don’t recognize him anymore.

Axiu stood next to him, "Yes, that's a pigsty. We have piglets at home, and A'nai and I are feeding them!"

Su Zimu looked suspicious. Do you have all the piglets?

"Axiu, take me to see it."

"I don't," Axiu rolled her shoulders, "You can go alone, I want to see the great guy!"

After saying that, she didn't care about Su Zimu anymore. She looked up at Su Ziling and said, "Sister, sis, I want to ride a bull!"

"You can only ride for a while. The cow is tired from walking today. Can we ride again another day?"

"Yes!" Axiu nodded heavily and looked at the cow with bright eyes.

Su Ziling picked her up and put her on the back of the cow. The cow was really good and motionless.

Of course, before Axiu's buttocks were still warm, her mother took her down.

She was sensible and didn't make a fuss. Instead, she touched the cow's belly and ran to the door to get a basket and a sickle. "This cow's stomach is flat. It must be hungry. Mom, let's go mow its grass?" "

Bai Wei raised her head and looked at Su A'nai, "Go ahead and ask Zizhong to go with you. You two probably won't be able to eat enough."

Su Zimu changed his clothes and said, "Grandma, I'll go too."

It was then that everyone seemed to discover him.

"Er Niu is back? He looks much taller!" The fourth uncle smiled and touched his beard.

"It looks really different after studying." Third uncle agreed.

Mother Su came out with a bucket of warm water, "Huh? Erniu, when did you come back?"

Su Zimu: "..."

If he doesn't say anything, I'm afraid he won't even get a share of the dinner, right?

"While you're walking around the cow, looking and looking and touching."

"Yes, yes, yes, the cow is still waiting to drink water!" Mother Su put the bucket in front of the cow and unmuzzled the cow.

Then he straightened up and looked at him, "How is it in the school? Are the classmates getting along well? Where is the master, can you understand what he said? Are you full? If you are not full, your fourth uncle and the others will sell it later. Tofu, I’ll ask them to bring you rice, and then you can just ask the cook to heat it up for you.”

Su Zimu was stunned for a moment, "You don't need to bring me food when you're full. Besides, you've already paid for it, so there's no point in bringing your own food. Master is very nice. He even gave me a calligraphy. My classmates also paid for it." Okay, we get along very well, Auntie, don’t worry, I can definitely take care of myself."

Su Zimu felt warm in his heart. He was just a little touched, thinking that his mother-in-law still cared about him, but then he heard Su's mother say.

"I'm not worried about you, I'm worried about your classmates. You have a bad temper, and I'm afraid that you will attack if you disagree with me. It's not serious. If you hurt your classmates, your sister will have to apologize."

Su Zimu: "..."

All he heard was, "Second", and the warm fire in his heart was extinguished.

Su Ziling suppressed her laughter so hard that she felt uncomfortable, "Okay, Auntie, stop teasing him," she said and looked at him, "What do you want to eat? I'll cook it for you."

"Sister is still nice to me," Su Zimu's face instantly turned gloomy when he heard about the food, "I want to eat braised pork with pickled vegetables, fried mushrooms, dried peppers and stewed pork vermicelli, and I also want to eat mushroom sauce. "

He named a series of dishes, swallowing saliva as he did so.

"Okay, I'll do it, you go mow the grass."

Su Zimu, Su Zizhong and Bai Wei took the hemp rope and the skewer, and Axiu carried her basket on her back, and the four of them went up the mountain to cut the grass.

Mr. Su and the other men were responsible for building the cowshed. Su A'nai, Liu Guilan and Ji Yunchu were washing the fungi. Mother Su fed the cows water and tied them aside to help Su Ziling make a fire.

While lighting the fire, she said, "That brat Erniu probably didn't eat enough in the academy. He looks like he's lost some weight. You can make mushroom sauce with more meat at night and bring it to him tomorrow."

"I know, Auntie, I told him on the way back." Su Ziling washed the pot, poured water and went to scoop out the rice.

When the rice vat was opened, she was dumbfounded.

"Auntie, I forgot to buy rice!"

Mother Su was stunned for a moment, then quickly came to her senses, "If you didn't buy it, just don't buy it. You used to live without rice. In this way, you steam a pot of steamed buns with buckwheat flour and corn flour, and then cook a pot of corn paste and steam it. Two sweet potatoes, that’s about it.”

"Is this possible?" The person who helped was supposed to be a cook.

Mother Su waved her hand, "It's okay, just eat like this, there are so many meats and vegetables."
