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

"Oh, is the body odor coming back?" Su's mother happened to come in.

"Mother, the lunch dishes are ready. Weren't you just worried about what to eat later? Let's make some fairy tofu and hang it in the well. It will be perfect to eat during the day."

"Okay." I haven't eaten the divine tofu for more than half a year. I didn't feel it on weekdays, but I felt quite greedy when I saw it suddenly.

Seeing Su Ziling cooking, Su's mother took down a basin and a colander and started making magical tofu.

Although I haven't done it for a while, my skills are still there. I did it for so long last year that the memory of it is still fresh.

They had breakfast in the yard. There were so many people that the kitchen couldn't accommodate everyone, so they made three tables full. Of course, their family sat at one table.

After dinner, Grandpa Su and his friends continued to build the workshop, Su Zizhong and his friends went to set up a stall, and Su Ziling and his father went to the county.

The chicken mushroom oil was put in the backpack, and Su Ziling also brought the freshly picked leaves of the osmanthus fragrans.

Although it looks like there are a lot of things, fortunately they are all leaves and not heavy.

Father Su's load was heavier; he picked up 100 kilograms of vermicelli and also took some vegetables.

It was so messy that the shoulder pole was bent.

After digging the road, it became much wider. The father and daughter came out of the forest and looked at the dug road. They couldn't help but sigh that the power of silver is great.

These people dug much faster than those in their village. Most of them were middle-aged people digging the road. They were talking and laughing, and were full of energy.

And the ditches they dug seemed to be wider than those dug by their own village.

When he arrived at the entrance of Sangshuping Village, Su Ziling stood at the intersection and called out "Uncle Li" without going in.

After a while, Mr. Li came out driving a ox cart.

Sitting on the ox cart, the wind blew in my face. The corns on both sides of the road, as tall as chopsticks, swayed back and forth with the wind.

Without farm manure, the corn leaves turned tender yellow, obviously lacking fertilizer. This year, the rainfall was good and the grass grew fast. As soon as the big ones on top were pulled out, a dense layer of grass grew on the ground again.

"Uncle Li, are there any mushrooms growing in the mountains here?"

"No, your aunt and I went to check yesterday, and there was nothing. I guess it will take another rain before it blooms. It was too sunny last year, so it won't bloom that quickly."

Mr. Li drove the ox cart, looked at the land next to him, pointed at the dark patch of land over there and said, "Look at that patch."

"The darkest one is mine, hehe."

It was easy to spot, right in the middle of the field. The corn tree looked thicker than usual, and its leaves were dark. "Great! Has it been fertilized?"

"Yes, in the past, we always spread the manure before planting. The corn was fine in the early stage, but it was not good in the later stage when it was flowering. It turned yellow and sallow. This year, it was just as you said."

"When the corn grew to four or five inches (15-17 centimeters), we applied manure for the first time. It was raining that day, and then it rained again after that. I didn't expect that the corn seedlings would be better than in previous years." Mr. Li took another look at the cornfield and became happier and happier.

Su Ziling nodded. This was not surprising. It rained before, and then it rained again after the manure was thrown. It would be strange if the corn was not good.

"When will it be lost next time? This year we are using the ridge planting method you mentioned, and we are also planting red beans on the ridges. When is the best time to plant sweet potatoes?"

"Just pay attention to the grass in the field. Next time, throw manure before the corn blooms. When you see that the corn is about to bloom, throw it. You still have to find a rainy day."

"Red beans mature early. After the beans are harvested, the corn husks will basically start to develop yellow spots. At this time, you can pile the soil on the ridge to both sides, just under the corn tree, and then you can plant the sweet potatoes."

"By the time the corn is ready to be harvested, the sweet potatoes will have taken root and will not be easily killed by the sun."

Su Ziling explained in great detail, and Mr. Li nodded frequently as he listened, asking questions from time to time when he did not understand.

It didn't feel like they were talking for a long time along the way. When they arrived at the county, Su Ziling first went to the restaurant to deliver vermicelli and also gave the leaves of the angelica sinensis to his third aunt and the others.

They were doing the same thing last year, so Su Ziling didn't have to worry about whether they knew how to make the seasoning. He just gave Qing Jiu a brief introduction on how to make the seasoning and left.

She went to buy meat and oil first. Now that the mushrooms were out, the amount of oil needed increased sharply. They only came to the county once every five days, so they had to buy more.

Today is the market day, and in addition to the original Yang the Butcher, there is also a pork stall next to it.

Every time he saw Su Ziling coming, Yang the Butcher knew that it was time to close his stall early that day.

Sure enough, the pork fat was sold out. Since Su Ziling didn't buy any, he had to buy some fat. He asked for 20 kilograms of lean meat and took 40 kilograms of fat, as well as two pieces of pork belly. Su Ziling also took them all.

The family was hiring workers and the people digging the road also needed to eat, so the meat was bought to be used for cooking. All the meat was eaten up in no time. Looking at the few bare bones on the side, Butcher Yang was too lazy to sell it anymore.

He simply gave it to Su Ziling, closed the stall happily, and went to Su's Restaurant carrying the pig's head, pig's feet and offal.

This was what Su Ziling had agreed with him. As long as the pig was slaughtered, the pig head and offal would be sent to the restaurant.

There was enough lean meat, but there was still a little less fat, so Su Ziling went to the pork stall next door and bought 30 kilograms of fat.

Seventy kilograms of fat can probably produce forty kilograms of oil. Adding that to what's at home, it should be enough to last until the next market.

After buying the meat, the father and daughter first delivered the things to the city gate, and then went to the county government office.

She was familiar with this place and had been there several times. She had brought them ice jelly a few times, and many people recognized her.

When she arrived outside the county government office, she did not go in directly, but waited outside for a while, hoping to see if she could meet someone she knew who could take her in.

The father and daughter squatted beside the stone lion, staring at the gate.

The two yamen runners guarding the gate were new and didn't know them. Seeing that they refused to leave, they looked at each other in confusion.

"What's going on with these two people? Are they here to report a crime?"

"No, they look like they are waiting for someone. If they really wanted to report the crime, they would have done it long ago."

"Waiting for someone? Could it be one of our brothers' family members?"

"That shouldn't be the case. It doesn't look like..."

"This is not right, and that is not right either. Are you still a beggar?"

"How is that possible? Have you ever seen a beggar who looks so good? And he's dressed neatly."

"..."

The two of them grumbled for a long time, but when they saw that they were not making trouble and didn't make any other moves, they just ignored it.

The father and daughter squatted like this, occasionally looking up to see if anyone came out, "Xiaoqing, who are you waiting for?"

"Detective Yang, or the detective? Anyone I know."

Su Ziling looked up at the sky. The sun was particularly strong today. The father and daughter didn't even wear hats, just squatting here in the sun.

"Why don't we just go in? Or ask those two people?"

Su Ziling turned his head and looked at him, "How about...you go?"

Father Su was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Then let's wait a little longer. There's no rush."

Su Ziling: "..."

The father and daughter felt extremely secretly indebted, so they squatted beside the stone lions, talking while staring at the entrance of the county government office.

When Chang Ce and Shen Xingye came back, they were still far away at the end of the street when they saw this furtive scene, "Master, look over there?"

"Where did you come from, you little thief? How dare you act wildly in front of my county government office in broad daylight!" Shen Xingye paused with his fanning hand and stepped forward.

"Huh? Why do I feel like it's Sister Xiaoqing and the others? Is it because I'm seeing things?"

Chang Ce was silent for a moment, "It's Miss Su and the others."

Hearing this, Shen Xingye put away his fan with a snap and quickened his pace, "Little..."

As soon as Xiao Zi finished speaking, he was stopped by Chang Ce, "Sir, there's someone, there's someone!" You should at least pay attention to your image. You are the magistrate of a county, how can you make such a fuss!

"Ahem!" He coughed, stopped walking, and steadied himself. He covered half of his face with his fan and said to Chang Ce, "No one should have seen it, right?"
