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

Caravans came and went, and in the blink of an eye it was noon (11:00-13:00), the sun was high in the sky, and the temperature in the valley rose.

Su Zizhong brought out the lunch on the side. Today they had vegetable porridge with some pickled vegetables made by Su Ziling.

When setting up a stall, the Su family will provide lunch and usually ask everyone what they want to eat. Sometimes it is boiled noodles, sometimes it is porridge, and sometimes it is steamed buns.

"Aqing, come and have dinner." Ji Yunhe put the dishes and chopsticks in place and waved to Su Ziling who had just come out of the mountain.

Su Zizhong was watching over the two roasted rabbits, while Su Ziling went for a walk in the nearby mountains alone, but did not see any ferns.

However, she did dig up a lot of purslane, duckweed, and wild onions. She also found the place where Su Zizhong and his friends dug up Houttuynia cordata last time.

She thought that since she was already here, there was no reason to let it go. Since she didn't have a hoe, she used a sickle to dig up the thickest roots. In just half an hour, she had dug up a bundle.

That’s right, it was a bundle. She didn’t bring a basket. After digging, she used local materials, pulled up a few thatch grasses, and tied them up directly.

"Hey, here I come." She trotted over, threw the wild vegetables aside, and ran to the pond at the foot of the mountain to wash her hands.

As water consumption increased, Su Zizhong and his colleagues expanded the pond a little bit. They also built stone walls around the pond, making it look more presentable.

"Yeah, the meal is so light, aren't there braised pork and pig intestines? Why don't you cut them up and eat them?"

Su Ziling shook the water off his hands, looked at the table full of porridge and side dishes, and asked in confusion.

"You don't understand. Wild vegetable porridge and pickles are the best combination for this weather. Come and eat."

Seeing that Su Ziling didn't move, Ji Yunhe pulled her to sit down, "Hey, we're just having wild vegetable porridge today. We usually have boiled noodles. You're tired of it, so let's change the taste. Come and try my cooking skills. I tell you, the porridge I cook is the best."

Without saying anything, he stuffed a bowl of vegetable porridge into her hands. Just as everyone picked up their bowls, they heard a sound coming from not far away.

"Uncle Zheng, are you sure their family also wants these mushrooms?"

"How should I know? She just said a few words when she came last time. Won't we know when we go to their house later?"

"If we don't want this, then wouldn't we have come here in vain?"

"It shouldn't be that serious. Since Miss Su said she wants it, she must keep her word. Think about it, with such a large family business, there's no need for her to deceive us, right?"

"That's true, but these mushrooms are everywhere in the mountains and fields. Look at these mountains, they seem to be from their village, right? The ones from these mountains are enough for them to eat, so why do you think she would buy ours?"

"How should I know? I want to know what she uses it for. I'm the only one who does this business. Also, can you please stop talking? You talk too much."

The two of them spoke quite loudly, and Su Ziling and the others could hear it clearly.

Su Zizhong turned his head and looked at her, "Looking for you?"

Su Ziling hesitated for a moment, staring straight at that place until he vaguely saw a figure, then he nodded, "It seems so."

She put down her bowl and chopsticks and stood up. "You guys eat first, I'll go take a look."

Of course, she saw those people, and Mr. Zheng and the others also saw her.

"Miss Su!" Several people were obviously surprised to see her here, "Why are you here?"

Su Ziling pointed to the shed behind him. Mr. Zheng was stunned for a moment and slapped his forehead, "Look at me, I forgot about this."

"Uncle Zheng, what are you doing?" Although he asked this, Su Ziling's eyes would occasionally fall on the backpacks behind them.

"Oh, that's right. Last time you asked for umbrella mushrooms. There's been enough rain this year. It rained a few days ago, and some mushrooms have gradually appeared in the cornfield."

"We didn't produce much before, so we ate it ourselves. But we went around the fields last night and this morning and picked up quite a lot. We thought you would need it, so we sent it to you. Take a look, do you think you can handle so much?"

After Mr. Zheng finished speaking, he turned the backpack in front of him. The basket was covered with some road grass. When he removed the leaves, the white chicken mushrooms in the basket were revealed.

"Chicken mushroom!" Su Ziling's eyes lit up. She picked up two. The mushrooms were very fresh and the mud on them was cleaned very well. At a glance, there was no rottenness at all.

"That's enough, that's enough," Su Ziling nodded repeatedly. She put the mushrooms back and her eyes fell on the two people behind her. Before she said anything, Zheng Bo looked at them.

"Lift up the leaves and show them to Miss Su."

The two men reacted quickly and lifted the leaves. There were three of them, and each of them carried a basket on his back. It was estimated that each basket must have weighed about 10 to 20 kilograms.

The mushrooms they picked were very plump, with particularly thick stems. This kind of mushroom was the most heavy.

"This..." Su Ziling didn't expect so many. When she saw three people coming, she thought they were carrying their own things. She didn't expect that their backpacks were all full.

"Did you pick all this up?"

"No, no, we all picked them up together. This family picked up one pound, that family picked up two pounds, and we all pooled our money together to make these few baskets. We were afraid that if there were not enough, it would not be worth the trip."

Su Ziling nodded, "Have you weighed it? If you have, I won't weigh it and will just give you the money. If you haven't, I'll have to trouble you to come with me to my house to weigh it. I don't have a scale here."

Mr. Zheng was a little embarrassed. "Yes, I have weighed it, but Miss Su, you should weigh it again."

When they sell things here, they usually weigh them themselves at home, and then compare them with the buyer to see if the scale is correct.

After hearing them weigh the goods, Su Ziling didn't want to run again. Besides, many things in their village were sold to her. If there was a shortage of weight, it would cut off their own source of income.

"Weighed? It's OK if you've weighed it. How many kilograms are there in total?"

Seeing that she was determined, Mr. Zheng had no choice but to report the weight they had weighed, "The total is fifty-four pounds."

"Fifty-four jin?" Su Ziling nodded. "Well, I'll charge you fifteen cents per jin for the umbrella mushrooms. We'll set the price when the other mushrooms come out."

Fifteen cents per pound?

The three of them stared with disbelief until Su Ziling handed them the money. "Fifty-four catties, fifteen cents per catty, a total of eight hundred and ten cents, count it."

Looking at the string of copper coins in Su Ziling's hand, several people looked at each other, unable to recover for a long time.

"Uncle Zheng?" Su Ziling raised his hand, motioning him to take the money.

"Yes, yes, okay." The old man stretched out his hand, feeling it was so unreal until he got the heavy money in his hand, then he woke up from his dream.

I had only one thought in my mind: this mushroom is really valuable!

Su Ziling didn't bring a backpack, so he had to discuss with them, "Uncle Zheng, I don't have anything to carry here, I'm afraid I'll have to return this backpack to you a few days later."

"It's okay, it's okay." Mr. Zheng waved his hand, "I have a backpack at home, I'll leave this one at your house first, and come and get it next time when I deliver mushrooms."

After Mr. Zheng finished speaking, he put the backpack aside. They did not leave after putting the backpack aside. Mr. Zheng looked at her hesitantly as if he wanted to say something.

Su Ziling suddenly realized, "Uncle Zheng, you guys haven't eaten yet, right? Ours just got served, come over and have some together."

"No, no, we just had dinner before leaving," several people took a half step back at the same time.

Mr. Zheng rubbed his fingers together and smiled awkwardly, "Well, I just wanted to ask if you want other mushrooms?"
