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

A few people laughed and scratched their heads, "It's not bad, I can earn three or four cents a day, but we have found almost all the ones nearby, and we should go to a farther place tomorrow."

As they spoke, they came over and lowered their voices and said in Su Zimu's ear: "A few of us found a large piece in the col. We estimate that each of us can pick twenty or thirty kilograms. Do you want to go?"

Twenty or thirty pounds per person?

There are five or six people in their small group, each weighing twenty or thirty kilograms. The whole group weighs at least one hundred kilograms, which seems to be quite a lot!

Su Zimu shook his head, "I can't go. I have to endorse it at home. You go ahead and be careful and don't run too far."

When they heard that he couldn't go, the children frowned and looked unhappy. They used to do everything together, but now they are suddenly separated and they are not used to it.

"Okay, then you study hard and try to come back as a scholar." Seeing that everyone had finished weighing the ice cream fruits, a few people didn't say much, picked up their own baskets and ran away.

Looking at the ice powder fruits on the drying mat, Su Ziling had to sigh, it must be the labor of the children.

They usually have nothing to do, they like to go into the mountains, go up mountains and down rivers, and find out where there is something. The adults may not know as much as they do.

Su A Nai spreads the ice powder fruits out to dry in the sun. It won't rain or dew at night, so the ice powder fruits don't need to be put away and can be kept in the sun.

"These kids are usually a bit naughty, but this ice-pink fruit is really good for picking. There are no leaves or underripe fruits. Most of them are dry. In one day, you can pick more than a hundred kilograms." , I estimate that within a few days, the nearby mountains will be plowed through by them."

Su Ziling said while washing her hands, "There probably won't be enough for them around here, so they might go to other villages."

These days, the family is unable to make ends meet. It’s hard to find a job that can make money. Who would let it go?

Axiu took a stick and gently tapped the ice powder fruit that had been dried yesterday. After punching out the seeds, Su A'nai used a fine sieve to separate the ice powder shell and seeds.

Hearing Su Ziling's words, she turned to look at her, "Sister, I also want to pick ice powder fruits."

She pouted. She hadn't been out for many days. The last time she went out was when she and Su Ziling went into the mountains to look for fungi.

During this time, she stayed at home and was responsible for feeding pigs, chickens and ducks in the morning and evening. During the day, she washed fungi with Su A'nai. In the past few days, she started making ice powder seeds again. She hadn't been out for a long time.

"Want to go out to play?" Su Ziling asked with a smile.

Axiu shook her head and repeated word for word: "It's not about playing, it's about picking ice-pink fruits."

"Okay, your second brother is going to catch ducks later. You can go with him." Su Ziling wiped the water on her hands and gave Su Zimu thirty coins.

"Er Niu, go to your fourth uncle's house to catch a duck, a male. The female is still being kept to lay eggs." When it came to laying eggs, Su Ziling dug into her pocket again and found that she only had ten cents.

If the money was not enough, she simply didn't take it. Instead, she told Su Zimu, "Ask my fourth uncle if there are any duck eggs at home. If there are any, we will go down and get them later."

Su Zimu took the money and said, "Sister, thirty cents for one?"

"Yes, the male duck needs to be fatter. Remember, I gave you all thirty coins!"

Generally speaking, two female ducks are as heavy as one male duck, and the female ducks are also much smaller.

"I know." Su Zimu put the money away and stretched out his hand, "Axiu, are you going?"

"Go." Axiu put down his stick and rushed over like a small firecracker. He grabbed Su Zimu's hand and skipped out.

Su Ah Nai shook her head frequently and said, "I want to go out to play."

Seeing Su Ziling taking a wooden basin and a kitchen knife and cutting board, "Are you going to cook?"

"It's still early, let me cut the bamboo shoots and then do it." Su Ziling washed the bamboo shoots first and then started cutting them.

She told A Nai Su that the aunt she had just met asked her to dig bamboo shoots.

Su A'nai slowly tapped the ice powder fruit, "If you want to eat it, go dig it. If you are too embarrassed to go, I will ask your grandpa to dig it for you."

Su Ziling wasn't very familiar with the people in the village, and A'nai Su thought she was shy, so she was too embarrassed to go.

The rhythmic sound of chopping vegetables rang out in the yard. Su Ziling moved quickly, and the bamboo shoots were cut into thin slices, evenly sliced. Her voice rang out, "Then I'll go dig it after eating."

Su Ziling's bamboo shoots had just been cut into half, and Su Zimu was holding the duck and running Axiu until he was out of breath.

Su Ziling raised her head and glanced, "Why are you running so fast? Is there a ghost chasing you?"

Su Zimu put the duck under his backpack and slumped down on the stool, "Don't tell me, it's much scarier than a ghost. This fourth uncle gave him thirty coins and refused to accept it. He just chased us." arrive."

"Have you given the money?"

"Here you go," Su Zimu raised his chin, his face full of pride, "I had expected this before we went, so I asked Axiu to wait halfway along the road, and took the duck. I lost the money and Run, eh, my fourth uncle didn’t catch up!”

"Why didn't you catch up?" Mr. Su and the others came back with two baskets of corn each. As soon as they entered the door, they heard Su Zimu's voice.

"My fourth uncle, I went to his house to catch a duck and said he didn't want any money. He chased me three ways."

Su Zimu stood up and took out the stools and tables in the living room to make room for Mr. Su and the others to put corn.

It is better to store the newly collected corn in the house. If it is placed in the yard, it will rain and there will be no time to harvest it.

Mr. Su poured out the corn and sat in the shade. "No wonder, we met him when we came back just now. He was muttering along the way."

Seeing that Mr. Su was sweating profusely, Su Ziling suggested, "Grandpa, why don't you take the ox with you? The ox can also carry two baskets back."

"Not now, let's go in the afternoon, and then we can lead him to another piece of land. This land is in the middle now. If we lead the cow, we are afraid that the calf will eat other people's crops."

Their land is in the middle, surrounded by other people's land, and they are planted with corn and sweet potatoes. The cows are fine, but mainly the calves. They start having fun as soon as they go out, and you can't even watch them.

When the time comes, I really eat someone else's sweet potato, and I have to carry something to apologize.

Mr. Su took a breath and instructed Su Zimu to boil the water, "Er Niu, boil the water. I'll take care of the ducks before going to the fields."

"Hey, I understand, grandpa."

Water has always been boiling on the fire pit. Ever since Mr. Su learned how to drink tea, there has always been a pot of boiling water on the fire pit, so as long as a few firewood are added, the water will boil quickly.

By the time Mr. Su's ducks were finished, Su Ziling's bamboo shoots had also been cut.
