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

"One penny for two pounds?" The old man nodded repeatedly, "Okay, we'll go pick them today and send them to you tomorrow."

One cent for two kilograms. The old man thought that there were many people in his family, and if each person picked two hundred kilograms a day, that would be one hundred cents. If the whole family went up the mountain together and picked for two days, they might earn a little over one or two taels of silver.

Thinking of this, his face turned red with excitement, "Hey, the food is ready, come in and have a meal, and then I'll take you up the mountain to have a look."

"No need, old man. You guys eat. We have to hurry back. I'll wait for your olives at home tomorrow."

This village is even more remote than Su Ziling's village. It is located halfway up a mountain and is quite steep.

Farming depends entirely on God. There is no river or stream in the village. If there is no rain, I am afraid they will have no harvest.

We rely on the spring in the village for drinking water. As long as there is no drought, there is enough water to drink. But if there is drought, or in the cold winter, we have to go out of the mountains to find water to drink.

The two of them went to the back mountain to pick some olives. Su Ziling took a bite and found that they were indeed better than those in their village. They were also bigger in size and the pits were removed more cleanly.

"What do you think is suitable for them to grow here?"

Lu Yan obviously knew the situation here. In years with rain, some grain could be harvested, but when there was no rain, there would be no harvest at all and famine was common.

"What to plant?" The two stood on the top of the hill and looked down. It was all bare loess slopes. They thought that after the corn was harvested, they couldn't plant any more crops, so the land had been left empty.

"Without water, what can we plant? We can plant olives. If we take good care of olives, we can get a harvest every year, which is better than getting nothing at all."

"Let's go, take it slow. You can't become fat in one bite."

Su Ziling was thinking that their area was the only place where olives could grow, so it was not a bad idea to plant only olives.

By then she can collect them all and bring them back to make licorice olives, candied fruits, preserved fruits, etc., which is also a way out.

The two men left the territory of Ganlan Slope and remounted their horses when they reached the official road.

"Hey Mr. Lu, when are you going to see Suosuo?"

The wind whistled in his ears, and Lu Yan didn't hear what she said at all, "Who are you meeting?"

"Suosuo," Su Ziling raised her voice, "It's the girl that Third Uncle introduced to you."

Lu Yan didn't say anything, Su Ziling continued, "I can't believe that someone would fall for you even though you're so ruthless. This guy's eyes are a little dazed, he needs to see a doctor."

Lu Yan raised his eyebrows, "You have someone who likes you, is it strange that others like me?"

"Ah? Someone has a crush on me? Who is it?" Su Ziling really didn't know this.

"When your eldest brother got married, some people from Wangjia Village came and were eager to make a move. Many of them even invited people to come to the wedding."

Su Ziling was puzzled. "Really? How come I didn't know? What happened next?"

"Later?" Lu Yan sneered, "Later, it seemed that you were too fierce and had a bad temper, so you scared people away!"

In fact: Lu Yan secretly did a lot of small things.

"How can I have a bad temper? Tell me the truth, have you spread rumors behind my back?" Su Ziling said, twisting his hand.

"Ouch! It hurts, it hurts!" Lu Yan screamed exaggeratedly, "You are so cruel, is this murder?"

"Let go, the horse is going out of control!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the horse actually shook. Su Ziling was so scared that he quickly let go of his hand and dared not move.

After a long while, Su Ziling finally asked, "By the way, I've never heard you tell me where you're from?"

"Why, are you starting to check the household registration?"

"Screw you……"

"I have no home."

Su Ziling was about to say something back at him, but he shut up instantly after hearing those three words.

No home? She blinked. How could anyone be homeless?

Before she asked, Lu Yan took the initiative to speak, "I didn't lie to you, I really have no home. I have lived in the suburbs of Shangjing since I was a child. I followed others to learn martial arts and traveled around all year round without a fixed place to live."

He picked up what he could say and said, "I have no home, so naturally I have no family. Well, I can't really say anything else, but if you want to hear it, I can tell you."

“No, no, no!” Su Ziling shook his head, “You’d better not say anything, or I’m afraid you’ll silence me one day.”

"But how can you lie?" Su Ziling frowned.

"How could I lie? I am a very honest person and I never lie."

Su Ziling: "..."

Why does this sound familiar?

"You told your third uncle's wife this morning that your home is far away and has two thatched houses."

"Oh, did I say that? I forgot." Lu Yan looked ahead with a smile in his eyes.

"Oh, poor Miss Suosuo, she's been deceived before she even meets the boss."

"You said that Miss Suosuo is really pitiful. She married you and now she doesn't even have a thatched hut."

"This Miss Suosuo is so unlucky..."

She kept saying "suosuo" left and right, which made Lu Yan frown subconsciously when he heard the word "suosuo".

"Why is Suosuo so unlucky? Although I don't have a house, I have a horse. Although I don't have money, I am very handsome. Isn't it her who made the profit?"

"You're being so intimate, and you're already locked up before you've even met. It would be awkward if she doesn't like you."

Lu Yan curled his lips and said, "You don't like me? Then there's nothing I can do. I can only drag you here to make up the number."

Su Ziling was stunned. "Why am I just here to make up the numbers?"

"I've lost my promised wife, so it must be you who did it. You've been saying bad things about me everywhere. My wife ran away, so you have to compensate me? Besides, for saving my life, shouldn't I repay you with my body?"

"I've saved you so many times, shouldn't you show some appreciation?"

Su Ziling was speechless at his shameless appearance, "You have a nice idea."

Lu Yan laughed softly, "Don't you think that the olives from Olive Hill are particularly sour? Even sourer than the ones from our back hill?"

Su Ziling smacked his lips. "Really? I don't feel anything. I just feel that the sweetness lasts for a long time. The core is small and there is a lot of meat."

"Yes!" Lu Yan said firmly, "It feels like there is a sour smell of olives in the air."

Su Ziling was stunned.

Then his eyes widened!

"You're not going to say I'm jealous again, are you?" She sneered as if she had discovered something incredible, "Ha! Ha! That's ridiculous. I'm jealous? Have you eaten too many olives?"

She spoke very loudly, as if she was covering up something, or as if she was angry and embarrassed.

But only she knew that at that moment, her heart suddenly skipped a beat and dropped heavily.

Even now, I still feel scared and very uneasy.

"What are you so excited about?" Lu Yan raised his eyebrows slightly, "I'm talking about these olives hanging in front. When the wind blows, the air is full of the sour smell of olives."

Su Ziling: "..."

Su Ziling did not utter a single word during the rest of the journey.

No matter what Lu Yan said, she avoided the topic.

"Hey, what do you think this Miss Suosuo looks like?"

"With such a nice name, he must have a good temper too."

"I'll build a house next to yours when the time comes. Remember to come and cook when you get married. You're a better cook."

"I don't know what kind of house Suosuo likes. What do you think of building a blue brick and tile house like yours?"

"By the way, what size do you think is best?"

"You won't expand this workshop, will you? Then I'll go get the land approved when I'm free, and we can start construction right away."

"You said Suosuo..."

"Shut up! If you say one more word, I'll kick you!" Su Ziling could no longer bear it and said viciously.

"Oh." Lu Yan responded obediently.

The wind was whistling in her ears. Neither of them spoke. It was so quiet that Su Ziling was a little confused. Suddenly, she heard Lu Yan talking in her ear.

"Actually, if you want to know what I'm doing in Beijing, just ask me." I would say.

Su Ziling said nothing, pretending not to hear.

After a long time, she heard Lu Yan sigh softly.

-

Don’t have too high hopes for the romance. I can’t write it. I really can’t write it. It makes me cry.

If nothing unexpected happens, I will start to wrap up and bring my career to its peak.
