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

After dinner, seeing that the chestnuts in the pot were not yet ripe, Su’s mother brought the chestnuts in the dustpan. The family gathered around the fire pit, peeling chestnuts slowly and chatting about homely matters.

The orange firelight in the kitchen illuminated the whole room, and everyone's face was filled with the joy of harvest.

The air was filled with the fragrance of chestnuts. After peeling the chestnuts, Mother Su moved her nose and reminded her: "Xiaoqing, it should be ripe, right? Don't boil the water dry."

"No, I have already removed the firewood." She said no, but she still stood up to check.

The lid of the pot was lifted, steam was rising, and everything in front of me was completely white, and I couldn't see anything clearly.

When the heat dissipated, the chestnuts in the pot appeared in front of her eyes. Su Ziling first took one out to taste if it was ripe.

The chestnuts that had just come out of the pot were very hot. She tossed them back and forth with her left and right hands, blowing them while trying to peel them.

It's best to peel the chestnuts that have just come out of the pot. The thin skin peels off easily, revealing the white and clean flesh inside. After one bite, it is sweet and glutinous. Although the meat is a bit less, not as much as chestnuts, it can't stand it. There are so many of them.

"Are you ready?" At some point, Su's father had already come to her side.

"Okay." Su Ziling nodded and began to scoop out the chestnuts. Put the scoop on top of the basin and scoop the chestnuts directly into the scoop, thus filtering the water.

"Come here and try how it tastes." Su Ziling held the basin and bowl and passed them around one by one. "The chestnuts are the best when they are freshly out of the pot. They lose their flavor when they are cold."

The chestnuts were too hot, so they each grabbed two. Su Ziling took a stool and placed the chestnuts in the middle, "You can eat it by yourself until you finish eating. If there is not enough, we will cook it next time. There are still more in the mountains." .”

Su Ah Nai nodded, "You're right. It's indeed much better than the raw version. The flour version is also sweeter, but it tastes similar to chestnuts."

Su Ziling explained: "You can call this a small chestnut. It is related to the chestnut. It is just a little smaller, but it tastes really good."

Su's father ate a little fast, as if he was eating melon seeds. Su Ziling was shocked to see that speed, but she had to cook it well enough.

Father Su nodded while eating, "Not bad, not bad. We will definitely sell it for a good price in the county. Let's go early tomorrow and bring a few more sacks. Then we can lead the cow there and let it carry two bags when we come back." Sacks, firstly, it saves trouble, and secondly, the cattle are released.”

"You also need to take the bamboo poles with you, as well as the hoe." Su Ziling added.

Su’s mother was puzzled, “I brought the bamboo pole to crack chestnuts, but why did I bring the hoe?”

As soon as she finished speaking, Su Ziling noticed that Su Zizhong was looking at her for a moment. She touched her nose, obviously thinking of the scene where the brother and sister rolled down again.

"The hillside is too slippery. We have to dig some steps to gain a firmer footing."

After eating Zhuilizi, the family simply washed up and went back to the house to rest. Su Ziling was lying on the bed, her eyes so bright that she was obviously not sleepy at all.

There are a lot of things in my heart, and my mind is running extremely fast. Now Erniu is in the school, the restaurant is in charge, Axiu has also gone to learn to read, and the eldest brother's marriage is also being arranged. The workshop is operating normally, and Xiaochun has also gone to the field. Everything seemed to be on track, but...

Su Ziling sighed softly. The family currently employs more than 20 villagers, and the wages alone cost one tael per day. Moreover, people from eight villages in ten miles have begun to send sweet potatoes here. The current few people cannot process so many. If everything needs to be processed, it will be necessary to increase manpower and expand the workshop.

But now that she bought the restaurant, she didn't have much silver left. The noodle seller today, plus what was left from the original, and the restaurant's profit, it was estimated that it was only 1,780 taels of silver.

Sure enough, a penny really stumped the heroic man, and Lu Yan...

She frowned when she thought of that careless person with a mouth that seemed to have been quenched with poison. The vermicelli piled up in the room were all what he asked for, but now he has yet to see anyone.

She thought, how about carrying it to the county all at once, selling some to restaurants, and selling some in bulk, so that the caravans in the mountain col could digest some. Even if they couldn't sell them all, at least they could get some blood back, so that they wouldn't be like now, with their hands full. There is goods but no money.

As I thought about it, my mind began to get confused and my eyelids began to tremble. With the sound of insects outside the house, the whole village fell into sleep.

The next day, it was dawn, and the cold wind was blowing. Su Ziling rubbed her arms, put on a coat, washed up, and started to prepare breakfast.

Today I am going to pick up chestnuts in the mountains. I have to start early and bring my lunch bag with me. Otherwise, I won’t be able to come back until the evening because I am afraid I will be hungry.

After breakfast, a few people set off, helping Twenty and others carry their things during the day.

Su's mother was feeding pigs at home, and was also responsible for making cotton-padded clothes with Su A'nai. The two discussed making Su Zimu's and A'xiu's first. The two were studying in a school, and there was no stove or anything like that. They were afraid it would be very cold, so first Get them out of their busy work, and Su Ziling can take it with her next time she goes to the city.

When they arrived at Lumen Mountain, Su Zizhong and the others tied their cattle aside to graze, set up a stall, and then went up the mountain. They had already been here once yesterday, and they were already familiar with the road when they came here again today.

Climbing up along yesterday's route, after climbing to the top of the mountain, we stepped on the holes they dug before reaching the chestnut forest.

Looking at the chestnut trees, Su's father's eyes lit up. "Dear me, you are so old, I guess the sacks we brought are not enough." As Su's father said, he also picked up a I wiped the dust off and threw it into my mouth.

He nodded while eating, "Crisp, sweet, you know there are so many, why should you bring food? I'm full just from eating chestnuts."

Hearing Su Ziling say there were many trees, he thought there were only three or five trees there, but he didn't expect there to be such a patch. A rough estimate showed that there were about eleven or two trees.

"Dad, eat less raw food. If you can't digest it, your stomach will become bloated."

After listening to Su Ziling's words, Su's father put down the chestnuts in his hand and threw them into the basket instead, "I know, I know, go back and eat the cooked ones."

"You two pick it up, and I'll beat it. After the beating, we'll pick it up together."

In this way, Su Ziling and Su Zizhong were responsible for picking up the chestnuts on the ground, and Su's father was responsible for knocking the bamboo poles.

As soon as the pole was hit, not only the chestnuts but also the leaves fell down, but the slope was too steep, and the chestnuts rolled down as soon as they hit the ground.

Su's father was so distressed that his face wrinkled up, "Xiaoqing, Xiaoqing, this can't be done. They all rolled away, leaving only a few."

Seeing Gu Lu Lu rolling the chestnuts down, Su Ziling was also stunned, and then looked around, "Dad, use a hoe to dig a small ditch underneath, so that if the chestnuts fall, they will roll into the ditch."

After hearing this, Su's father grinned and went to dig a trench with a hoe. While digging, he muttered why he hadn't thought of it.
