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

As soon as the two entered the mansion, they saw Shen Xingye hanging on the pavilion like an octopus. When he saw them coming back, his eyes lit up.

But when his eyes fell on the hands of the two men, they dimmed again in an instant.

Su Ziling blinked and took another bite of the bun, "What are you doing hanging here?"

Lu Yan, who was sitting behind him, picked up the teacup and took a sip. "Don't worry about him. He's pouring the water out of his brain."

"Pfft...hahaha!"

Every time Lu Yan opened his mouth, he would refresh Su Ziling's perception of his sharp tongue. Of course, the premise was that he didn't say that to her. She actually enjoyed watching him scold others.

As Su Ziling approached, the aroma of buns wafted over. Shen Xingye stared at them eagerly, and his stomach rumbled at the right moment.

Su Ziling stopped, turned his head, and looked at him in disbelief.

Shen Xingye touched his stomach, his face full of resentment, "We haven't eaten yet, we were waiting for you, who knows, you two actually ate!"

As he said that, he actually stretched out his hand to Chang Ce. Chang Ce dodged and stuffed all the buns into his mouth in three or two bites, muttering, "Master, I've eaten this before. It's not good to give it to you."

Shen Xingye looked at his hand stretched out in the air, the corner of his mouth twitched, then he slowly clenched his five fingers, veins bulged on the back of his hand, and he gritted his teeth and said, "You, good job, I didn't raise you in vain."

Changce pretended not to hear anything and just kept chewing his bun.

Su Ziling casually threw one to him, "Here, I give it to you. Can you miss yours?"

The remaining one was handed to Lu Yan.

"Hehe," Shen Xingye took a bite of the bun, his mouth was stuffed full, "Sister Xiaoqing is still good to me, unlike some people,"

He glared at Chang Ce fiercely and said, "Humph, you followed me for so many years in vain."

The corners of Su Ziling's mouth twitched, and he tried hard to hold back his laughter. "Actually, the money for the buns was given by Chang Ce."

Shen Xingye froze while chewing the bun, then quickly reacted and laughed awkwardly, "Ahaha, haha, well, that's what I was saying, Changce has been with me for so many years, how could he treat me like this, right? Changce is the best, he always thinks of me, your young master."

Su Ziling raised an eyebrow, "Oh? Chang Ce is fine again? Didn't you just say I was fine? Why, I am not fine again?"

"I brought the buns back."

Shen Xingye: "..."

"All right, all right, let's go, let's go eat, we're starving."

Shen Xingye was making jokes while Lu Yan and Su Ziling were walking side by side. Looking at the busy figure in front of him, he muttered, "What a success!"

"Why didn't you call me this morning?" Su Ziling looked at him.

"We didn't get up early, so we just took a stroll around the area. There are only two or three villages. Why would we bring you along?"

When Lu Yan finished speaking, Su Ziling bent down and looked back at him in disbelief, "Huh?"

"how?"

"The sun rose from the west today? You suddenly seem human? How bizarre!"

Lu Yan raised his eyebrows slightly, "It's mainly because someone walked all day yesterday. His arms and legs are so small that he can't walk fast even if he moves like a wheel. If we bring him along, it will definitely delay the trip."

Su Ziling: "?"

She looked down at her legs, then raised her hands to look at her arms.

He gnashed his teeth and said word by word: "Where is it short? Where is it short?!"

Lu Yan didn't say anything. He lowered his eyes and glanced at her lightly, then raised his hand.

Comparing the two, Su Ziling, who was obviously much shorter, said: "..."

She put her hand down silently.

It seems a little short. The comparison is like that between an adult and a child.

"I really shouldn't expect to hear anything good from you." Su Ziling glared at him and chased after Shen Xingye.

Looking at her cheerful steps, Lu Yan pursed his lips and said, "By the way, Qing Wu and the others just sent a message back."

Qingwu?

Su Ziling blinked. Wasn't this the leader of the group from yesterday? Didn't they go to other counties?

Other counties?

Su Ziling's eyes lit up, and he braked immediately. He backed up as if nothing had happened and stood shoulder to shoulder with him. "Oh? How is it? Is it serious over there? How is it going?"

Lu Yan saw all her little movements, and a flash of joy flashed across his eyes. "Not bad, I received four letters. It seems that everything is going well. The situation of the insects is similar to that outside the city. After they arrived yesterday, they went to the county government office first."

"The people over there are quite cooperative. All the runners in the county government have been dispatched to notify each village. They started teaching this morning. I think their progress is about the same as ours."

Su Ziling nodded, "There are only four counties, which means there is still half of them that have no news." She looked at Lu Yan, "We have to speed up. We have to go over and take a look when the time comes."

"Yeah." Lu Yan nodded.

After dinner, several people got on the carriage. When they passed the village they had visited last night, they stopped to take a look. The progress was relatively smooth, and the cornfield was full of people spraying pesticides.

The few of them did not stay for too long, but continued to go to other villages.

In this way, the three of them got up before dawn every day to eat, and then set off again after eating, returning only after the sun set in the evening.

News from other counties also came in intermittently. The situation was relatively good and most villages had been brought under control.

There were only a few. There was little rainfall over the year, so the insect plague was more serious. The Qingyi Guards followed Su Ziling's instructions and were able to kill some of the insects, but the situation was not optimistic.

"Sixteen sent a message saying that the green and brown bugs are basically dead, but there are still some black ones that didn't die even after the dosage was increased."

Lu Yan handed the letter to her. Su Ziling lowered her head to take a look. The letter was written in great detail. She seemed to have seen the scene of the black bugs crawling all over the corn seedlings.

Afraid that she didn't know what the insect was, Sixteen even thoughtfully drew a picture of it.

"Do you know what kind of bug this is?" Lu Yan frowned. "These bugs that appeared this year were not seen in previous years, or they existed in previous years but not as many." So they basically didn't recognize them.

"Little monkey leaf insect." Su Ziling sighed.

"We have to go home and get the hairy fish vine. The peach leaf liquid has no effect on them."

Lu Yan asked, "Do you want to go back and get it? Is there any in the county? Or somewhere else? I'll ask someone to get it."

Su Ziling shook his head. "There's none in the county. This hairy fish vine is poisonous and hard to find. I went up the mountain to dig some a few days ago, but I left it at home before I used it all. I have to go back and get some."

She still had to look for it in other places, but she already knew the exact location of Tianmen Mountain, so it would be faster to go back and get it.

The two men got on the carriage and rushed back. They arrived at Sangshuping and parked the carriage at Uncle Li's house. The road had not been dug yet, so the two men had to walk.

"How is it? Big change, right?"

Lu Yan nodded. The last time he came here, it was still a thatched road. There was only a foot-wide area without grass. The grass on both sides of the road was very lush and hung directly over the road, covering it completely.

Now, it is a wide road that can accommodate horse-drawn carriages. Considering that the road will be difficult to walk on rainy days, people have also laid a thin layer of sand on it.
