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

Lu Yan and Grandma Su sat at the table drinking tea. Looking through the window at the busy figures in the kitchen, he asked in a low voice, "Grandma, when do you think Qing will finally come to his senses?"

Grandma Sua spat out a mouthful of water, quickly put down the cup and started coughing.

Lu Yan patted her back gently.

Grandma Su waved her hand, signaling him not to take pictures anymore. She looked at him with surprise in her eyes, "Do you admit that you like our Xiaoqing?"

"Ah?" Lu Yan exclaimed softly, "Isn't it obvious enough that I like you?"

Su A Nai: "..."

Lu Yan poured her a cup of tea, "Grandma, you have to help me."

Grandma Su was at a loss for words, "She's my granddaughter, should I help you? No, no." She shook her head repeatedly.

Looking at Lu Yan, and then at Su Ziling who was busy in the kitchen, Grandma Su took a sip of tea and said, "This girl likes to eat, and she also likes to go out for a stroll, especially into the mountains. She also likes to make some strange little gadgets."

In the afterglow of the setting sun, Lu Yan looked towards the kitchen, and the corners of his lips unconsciously rose.

"Thank you grandma, I understand."

"What are you thanking me for? I don't have anything to say. Oh, I forgot to say that I have discussed it with her grandfather. She is the only girl in our family and has never thought about getting married. She has a stubborn temper and we won't be around when the time comes. If she gets wronged, she will probably hide in a corner and cry secretly."

Lu Yan: "..."

There is only one big girl? What about Ah Xiu?

Also, given this little idiot's personality, she was wronged?

Lu Yan shook his head, not daring to think about it.

The two drank some tea and went to pick mushrooms with Su's mother. Su Ziling stewed the chicken. Seeing that no one was free, she had to look at Lu Yan. She stretched her neck and called out, "Lu Yan, where are the mushrooms? Bring in the picked ones."

Grandma Su patted him and said, "Go ahead. I'm calling you."

Lu Yan took the mushroom and said, "Grandma, I'll go then." Then he replied to Su Ziling, "I'm coming."

"What did you do just now? Did you say something bad about me to my grandma behind my back?"

"Nonsense, how could I say anything bad about you? It's more like praising you!" Lu Yan filled a basin with water and washed the mushrooms under the window.

"How is it impossible?" Su Ziling rolled his eyes, "Haven't you backstabbed me enough?"

Lu Yan paused, "What is backstabbing?"

"It's a sudden change of heart. What you just did is a backstab..."

Su Ziling paused in the middle of his speech, "No, I haven't asked you yet, what happened to you just now?"

"What's going on?" Lu Yan asked casually.

"Just now when my grandma came back, you said I chased you away. When did I chase you away..."

"Do you think it's okay to wash like this? If not, I'll wash it twice more."

Su Ziling was interrupted before he could finish his words.

She took the mushroom and glanced at it. "Okay, that's it."

"Let me tell you, my grandma never hit me since I was a child..."

Lu Yan: "Twenty came back with a basket full of mushrooms. He picked more than any of us."

Su Ziling's eyes lit up. "Really? What kind of mushrooms did he pick up?"

"Mushrooms and everything. He also got a bee cake, but it looked like there was no honey in it."

"No honey? Any bee pupae?"

Lu Yan nodded, "It seems so!"

"Then take a bowl and use a bamboo stick to pick out the bee pupae. I'll fry them for you later. Have you ever eaten this?"

Lu Yan nodded, "I've eaten it, but it was burnt and didn't taste very good."

In the past, when I was on missions, I didn’t always have food. Sometimes I was in the mountains, and I actually ate bee pupae twice.

"Then I'll fry it for you until it's crispy, and then sprinkle some of the barbecue sauce I made on it. It's so delicious, I guarantee you'll want to eat more after having it."

After Lu Yan's interruption, Su Ziling completely forgot about the score to be settled later.

"The bowl is in the cupboard. Look at the bamboo stick. It should be in the bamboo tube. Remember to bring the ginger and taro soup out to him when you leave."

"understood."

After leaving the kitchen, Lu Yan chuckled softly. Su Ziling looked puzzled, "What's wrong?"

"It's okay."

For dinner, we had chicken stewed with mushrooms. The chicken was stewed until it was soft and boneless, and the aroma of the mushrooms was fully integrated into it. Su Ziling also added some green and red peppers when cooking, which made it taste a little spicy.

The soup is particularly thick, making it perfect for mixing with rice.

The bee pupae that Twenty brought back were also fried by Su Ziling. They were golden and crispy, sprinkled with some barbecue seasoning, and were so delicious that people couldn't stop eating them.

There were also gray mushrooms and shiitake mushrooms. Su Ziling cut a handful of kohlrabi leaves and stir-fried them with green and red peppers to make a perfect dish.

Boil the potatoes in clean water, add pickled vegetables and stir-fry a bowl of potato soup.

After the meal, everyone was very satisfied. The freshly picked mushrooms were indeed much fresher than the dried ones.

A whole chicken and a bowl of mushrooms filled a whole pot. We ate it all up in one meal.

The weather was very good in the next few days. After a few days of continuous sunshine, Su Ziling and his friends started digging ginger taro.

The ginger taro tree had not yet withered, and the pigs and cows loved to eat it, so I cut all the taro and took it home, feeding some to the pigs and cows and drying some for storage.

No one was asked for help. Su Zizhong and his friends also set up a stall, and the Su family dug the fruit themselves. It took them two days to finish digging this area, and they dug more than 2,000 kilograms.

But Su's father and his family were very happy. The yield was much higher than that of sweet potatoes, and the ginger and taro soup made from it was also delicious and especially sweet.

The most important thing is that you can eat it directly by steaming it. Although the taste is not as good as sweet potatoes, if you really have no food, you can still fill your stomach by growing this.

After the ginger taro is dug up, it is processed in the sweet potato workshop. The sweet potatoes are kept for a few days and the ginger taro powder is produced first.

Because the steps were similar, Su Ziling just watched for a long time, and when he saw that everyone was doing it smoothly, he handed it over to Su Yonghe, and repeatedly reminded him to bleach the powder several times.

There were not many ginger taro, so Su Ziling selected 500 kilograms for seeds and used the remaining 1,000 kilograms for grinding into powder.

It took about four days to grind out all the ginger and taro powder. Now the yard is full of shelves, and the shelves are filled with winnowing baskets filled with ginger and taro powder.

After harvesting ginger and taro, the busy farming season has come to an end for the time being. We can at least take a break for half a month. It will be October before we get busy again.

September 21st, Frost Descent.

The road that had been dug for more than half a year was finally dug through. Su Ziling went to the county specially to buy meat and firecrackers the day before, and set off several of them as soon as the work was completed that day.

Upon hearing that the mountain road had been dug through, Shen Xingye specially took a horse-drawn carriage to inspect it. The road was quite spacious, but a bit steep. He suffered a lot all the way to Baihua Cave in the carriage, and his butt was almost broken in two.
