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

"Why are you buying that thing? It's expensive. Save the money and we'll buy it after the Chinese New Year. Then my eldest brother will come back. Let's buy it and make dumplings for the whole family to eat together!" Su Erlang said with a smile. , eyes full of desire.

Su Ashi touched his head, feeling happy and sad at the same time.

Su Dalang went to the dock to work as a coolie. He was away from home all year round and only came back for a few days during the New Year. Now he is eighteen years old and the marriage has not been settled yet. Su A's husband and wife are also very anxious, but there is nothing they can do.

This is the situation at home. After paying taxes on the grain grown on several acres of land, there is nothing left. There are so many people in the family who have to eat it. There are two dilapidated thatched houses. Who is willing to marry a girl?

Now, she goes to Su Ziling's house to do odd jobs and earns a little bit. Now Su Erlang earns a few cents a day, and by the end of the year, he will be able to save some money.

It is not enough to build a house, but it is still possible to live in a good year. If I save one or two taels every year, I can build a thatched house again in two or three years.

They don't dare to think about a wooden house or a brick house, but it is still possible to build two thatched houses. Save it. Dalang can get about three taels a year, and they probably get more than one tael for doing odd jobs at home. If you save food for two years, you can build a thatched cottage.

After dinner, Mr. and Mrs. Su A continued to go to the fields to harvest crops. Su Erlang couldn't stand idle, so he picked up his basket and went for a walk up the mountain again. He thought it would be best to have some ice powder fruits, but if not, he could just pick some fungi!

In previous years, everyone started picking up gray fungi and fomilla fungi. This year, they were busy working at Su Ziling's house and picking ice powder, so they didn't have time to pick up fungi.

He thought that no one had time to pick it up, and the fungi in the mountains were probably going to be overrun.

did not expect……

He walked around for a long time, looking at the few lonely mushrooms in the basket and lost in thought.

This little amount of fungi is enough for frying a bowl at most. Logically speaking, it shouldn't be. In previous years, the fungi in the mountains were all in patches. Why are they gone this year?

He couldn't figure it out, so he continued walking around for a few more times, but still found nothing. Thinking that this mountain might not be there, he changed the mountain, but naturally he still couldn't find it.

Finally, he was about to go home when he suddenly heard a sound coming from the mountains. He waited for a while.

I saw several women, each carrying a backpack, walking down talking and laughing. Those who saw him were obviously stunned, but they quickly came back to their senses.

He took the initiative to say hello, "Auntie, are you here to pick up fungi too?"

He scratched his head and said, "I don't know what happened to the fungi this year. They are all gone. Let me see how many you picked up?"

Several women looked at each other and said, "We didn't pick up much." Then they turned their backpacks around to show him.

Seeing each of them carrying a basket, the baskets on their backs stood out.

The corner of Su Erlang's mouth twitched, he pointed at the backpack and stammered: "You call this not finding much?"

He was about to cry but had no tears, so he turned his backpack around and said, "If you haven't found much, then what am I?"

Several people looked at each other and laughed, "Where did you pick it up?"

Su Erlang pointed to the mountain next door, and then to the one at his feet, "I don't know what's going on. There were quite a lot of them in previous years, but this year there are no fungi at all."

The women touched their noses and said, "We just looked for these mountains today. How could they be there? Go over there, we haven't picked them up yet." She pointed out one to him. direction.

When Su Erlang heard this, he immediately smiled and said, "Thank you, Auntie, I'll pick up some more."

As he said that, he walked inside. Halfway through, he suddenly stopped and thought to himself, they couldn't eat that much even if they carried basket after basket back, and why did he feel that there were still a few noisy flowers? What about human bacteria?

"Auntie, are you going to sell so many of them?"

"We're not selling it, but that's pretty much it. We pick it up and send it directly to your eldest sister's house. We carry the basket three times a day, and we can earn seven or eight cents."

Miss?

He murmured.

"It's the Erniu family!" the woman explained.

"Oh, oh, oh," Su Erlang came back to his senses and immediately put a smile on his face. He muttered as he walked in. This is much more money than picking ice powder fruits.

He thought that after the corn harvest was finished in two days, he would ask his mother to pick it up too, and he would still be responsible for picking the ice powder fruits. In this way, they would have an income of ten cents at the end of the day.

After picking it up for a month, I ended up with a few hundred articles.

The women glanced at his retreating back and continued down the mountain.

They first sent the fungi to Lao Su's house, and after taking the money, they hurried home to make dinner.

Seeing that the fungi were back, Su A'nai stopped peeling the corn husks. She took a stool and picked the fungi in the spacious place, while Axiu went to feed the pigs.

After feeding the pigs, she threw a bale of hay to the pigs and came over to wash the fungi after finishing her work.

There was still an hour and a half before dark, Su Ziling put a bucket on her back and planned to go for a walk.

Today was the August Festival, and she had to have something good to celebrate in the evening. She planned to go to Tianmen Mountain again, without going deep, just to pick some wild fruits, catch two fish and two crabs.

When we arrived at the entrance of the village, we met Su Yong and his two brothers who were returning from picking corn. They picked a lot of corn, and the baskets were relatively large. The corn was all pointed, and the pole was being pressed.

Seeing her, the two stopped. Su Yonghe wiped his sweat and said, "Xiaoqing, where are you going?"

Su Ziling picked up the bucket and said, "Let's go for a walk in the mountains. How is the corn harvest going?"

Their family had little land, only eight acres in total. He didn't plant anything else but used it all to grow corn. Later he heard that he could interplant.

He went to get some sweet potato vines and planted sweet potatoes all over the ground at home.

"One more day of harvesting tomorrow will be enough." Su Yonghe changed his shoulders, "Are you going to pick August melons?"

"Yes." Su Ziling nodded.

August Melon is currently only available in Tianmen Mountain. When Su Yonghe heard her say yes, she understood that she was going to Tianmen Mountain.

"Then just wait for me for two minutes and I'll go with you."

"No, I'm just strolling outside. I won't go in deep." At this time, every household was so busy that their buttocks were barely touching the ground, and it was hard for Su Ziling to let him follow.

The reason I asked him to go two days ago was because it was for starting work. Now that he is on vacation, it would be inappropriate to call him in.

Su Yonghe frowned, "Isn't today the August Festival? I'm going to catch a fish and eat some meat when I get back. Let's just stop by."

As he spoke, he quickened his pace, and as the person walked further away, his voice came from far away, "Wait for me for a while, I'll be here soon."

He moved very quickly, fearing that Su Ziling wouldn't wait for him. He put the corn in the yard and didn't even have time to carry it into the house.

Dropping the corn, he picked up the basket and sickle and ran out. He also told Su Yongning, "An Ning, remember to pick out as much corn as you can in the field. When you are tired, take a rest and look at it." Grandma, don’t let her peel the corn husks, I’ll come back and let’s light a fire pit and peel them together at night.”

"I got it, go ahead." Su Yongning responded, carrying the corn into the house resignedly, then carrying the empty basket to the field, and carrying the broken corn home bit by bit.
