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

"Are you greedy?" Su's mother glanced at her and found her miserable expression inexplicably funny.

Su Ziling touched his nose and said, "I'm not really greedy..."

Mother Su raised her eyebrows, "Ah? You're not greedy? That's a pity. I was thinking that if I was greedy, I would go to your uncle's house to buy a chicken and stew it with fennel roots. Since you're not greedy anymore, it seems that there's no need to buy it."

"Greedy! Mom, I'm greedy!" Su Ziling answered quickly, and as soon as he finished speaking, he picked up the hoe and started digging fennel roots, "Mom, please move aside, I'll do it!"

It had rained and the fennel roots were covered with mud. Su Ziling carried a bundle of muddy fennel roots back to the village.

From a distance, he saw the smoke rising above the roof of his house. "Look, mother, my grandma's rice is cooked!" Su Ziling said, grinning as he looked at the wisp of smoke.

"I know, I know. If you're hungry, just walk faster."

Normally they would eat early in the morning before going about their business, then be busy from lunch onwards and have dinner only when the sun went down.

It was only last year that I got up early to work like today.

"Grandma, I'm back. Is the meal ready? I'm starving!" Su Ziling shouted before entering the yard.

"The vegetable steamed buns are ready. I haven't cooked yet. Hurry up and wash your hands and eat a steamed bun first." Seeing that she was covered in mud, Grandma Su quickly brought out hot water and mixed it for her.

"I pulled a radish from the backyard and cut a piece of cured pork ribs to cook. The ribs are from a wild boar, and I don't know if they will smell fishy."

"It shouldn't be fishy after being pickled. Add a handful of minced ginger and chopped green onions later, and I guess the smell will be gone." Su Ziling washed his hands and went to get a willow branch to brush his teeth.

The cured spare ribs were from the three wild boars. Some of the bones were sold, but the cured spare ribs were not sold much. The pickled ribs were also pickled, so Su Ziling simply hung them all as cured spare ribs.

Like today, you can cut off one and stew it with radish, turnip roots, or green vegetables and cabbage. After stewing a small piece of pork ribs, the dish and the soup will be full of meat flavor.

In a hurry to work, Su Ziling did not make any complicated dishes. He cut a piece of bacon and stir-fried bamboo shoots with it, and cut a handful of wild onions and added them in, and stir-fried a large pot of food.

I took out a few eggs, went to the backyard to cut some leeks, fried them together, and mixed a bowl of watercress.

A portion of everything was left for Grandma Su, and the rest was packed up and put in the backpack.

"Eating in the mountains tastes better with pickles. Take some of the pickles you made with you," Su's mother reminded.

When she goes to the mountains to eat, she likes to bring pickles. It’s okay not to bring other things, but pickles are a must. After working, she is very tired, and a bowl of sour and spicy pickles is especially appetizing and goes well with the meal.

Grandma Su went to get them seeds, and Su Ziling simply climbed up to the cowshed and threw down some corn husks and hay.

It was placed right in front of the cowshed, making it convenient for Sua Nai to feed the cows at home.

Su's mother carried various seeds, while Su Ziling carried food and held a large black pot in her hand. Su's grandmother scooped a bowl of carrot soup and asked her to take the rest away with the pot, saying that it would be easier to carry with the pot.

When the mother and daughter arrived at the field, Su's father and his family were taking a break. All the corn seeds had been planted and they were waiting for them to bring them food and seeds.

"Dad, where is my eldest brother and the others?" Su Ziling took a look, but did not see Su Zizhong and Twenty.

"They went into the mountains, saying they were going for a stroll, but these two kids just can't sit still." Father Su pointed to the mountain behind them.

There was a particularly large and flat stone on the edge of the ground, which was perfect for them to use as a table.

"Go call them and prepare for dinner." Su's mother glanced at Su's father and motioned him to call people.

As soon as the food was served, Su Zizhong and the others came out from the woods. Twenty was seen holding a pheasant in his hand. It was a rainy day, so the pheasant's feathers were wet. Su Ziling was looking at him.

Twenty raised the pheasant in his hand high up, "Girl, I got a pheasant, hehe!"

"Not bad!" Su Ziling pointed to a puddle nearby, "Hurry up and wash your hands and eat. You guys are not hungry. After ordering, why don't you take a break and run into the mountains?"

"Hehe, we're lucky. This pheasant happened to be injured, so we got a bargain."

He threw twenty handfuls of pheasants aside and squatted in front of a puddle to wash his hands.

Looking at the pheasant, Su's mother was happy. "This pheasant came at the right time." Then she looked at Su's father and said, "You may not know, your daughter wants to eat chicken. She just told me that there is a chicken in the chicken coop that is not energetic, and she wants to catch it and stew it with fennel roots. Only she can come up with such a lame excuse."

Father Su laughed out loud and said, "If you want to eat it, just kill it. It's just a chicken."

"Did they catch him in the end?"

Mother Su shook her head. "No, I don't have time. I was thinking of going to Uncle San's house to buy one later. Now that we have a pheasant, there's no need to buy one."

"Let's buy it. This kind of land is very tiring. Dad is exhausted from digging roads and plowing the land every day. It's a good time to kill a chicken to make up for the loss. There is not much pheasant meat, so it's better to pick it up and hang it up and eat it later."

After hearing what Su's father said, Su's mother nodded and agreed, "Okay, go buy one after the seeds are planted. Buy a big one."

Thinking that the pickled radish she had soaked had also turned sour, Su Ziling grinned, "Mother, how about buying another duck? The radishes in my jar have all turned sour."

Mother Su smiled from ear to ear, "I gave birth to a greedy girl! Okay, buy one, buy one too!"

In fact, their family also has chickens, ducks and other animals, but there are not many of them. The ducks are still small, they are half-grown ducks, and the chickens are the same. The roosters need to crow and are kept as breeding hens, and the hens are kept for laying eggs. In the end, they can't bear to eat any of them.

Sour radish and old duck soup, everyone in the Su family likes it. They have eaten duck before, but it was too fishy and hard to swallow, but they like the one stewed by Su Ziling very much.

The duck was not fishy and was stewed very well, especially the soup, which was sour and spicy, and very much to their taste.

"Brother, did you see any mushrooms when you went into the mountains?" Su Ziling took a bite of steamed corn bread, a sip of radish and pork ribs soup, and a bite of sour pickled vegetables. The fragrance was so fragrant that she squinted her eyes.

"Mushrooms? It's only what month now. They won't be available until May. But the rains came early this year, so they should be available by late April."

As soon as Su's mother finished speaking, she heard Su Zizhong say, "I saw a lot of pine mushrooms. They were still buds, the size of a finger, and had just emerged."

"There are pine mushrooms already?" Su's mother was surprised. "Then other mushrooms should appear in a few days."

Every year, pine mushrooms are the first to emerge. Once pine mushrooms emerge, other mushrooms will follow soon.

"That's great. Let's pick some and fry them later." If there were a lot of mushrooms, Su Ziling would not want the pine mushrooms.

I wouldn't even consider it. Now that I have nothing to eat, I can use this to satisfy my craving.

"Okay, I'll take you there after we finish planting here." Su Zizhong nodded in agreement. As the eldest brother, he would basically not refuse anything Su Ziling said.

After the meal, everyone drank some water, took a short break, and then continued to eat corn.

Thinking about going into the mountains to pick mushrooms later, Su Ziling felt more energetic when planting corn.
