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

For the rest of the journey, the two of them were silent. When they returned to the village, the sun had already set, and the afterglow of the sunset enveloped the sky above the village.

When they got back to the door of their house, Su Ziling jumped down as soon as the horse had stood firm. The jump was too high from the ground and she twisted her ankle when she jumped.

Lu Yan frowned, "How is it? Did you twist it?"

Su Ziling got angry, turned away and walked away.

Lu Yan's outstretched hand froze in mid-air. Looking at her stubborn back, he raised his hand, touched his nose, and smiled awkwardly.

As soon as Su Ziling stepped into the door, he realized something was wrong. He retracted his foot, listened to the noise coming from the side, frowned and took a look, but there was a workshop blocking the way, so he couldn't see anything except the noise.

After taking a look and not being able to see anything, she pushed open the half-closed door and said, "Grandma, I'm back!"

The yard was also bustling. Grandma Su and her mother were weighing olives. The olives in the mountains were ripe these two days, and it was a good time to pick them.

If you pick the olives too early, the pits will remain intact. If you pick them too late, the olives will be overripe and will fall to the ground.

And now it's just right.

So when many people heard her say that it was time to pick olives, they all took their backpacks and sacks and went up the mountain to pick them.

I would go up the mountain to pick olives after breakfast and at noon, and would not go home until the sun was about to set. The first thing I did when I came back was to deliver the olives to the Su family.

"You're back?" Grandma Su looked back and saw her slightly lame foot. "What's wrong with your foot?"

When she spoke, everyone looked at her. Su Ziling waved her hand and said, "I twisted my leg accidentally when I got off the horse just now. It's okay. I'll be fine after moving around."

She squeezed into the crowd and said, "Wow! The olives are really big this year!"

"Right. The bigger ones are picked from rocks. They are bigger, less astringent, and more juicy."

"Is your foot okay? How about I ask your uncle to come over and take a look at it? If it's really hurt, just take two doses of medicine and it will be fine."

The woman's face was filled with worry.

"It's okay, auntie, I just slipped and got hurt."

"Grandma, what's going on outside? Why do I hear some noise?"

"Oh, you mean over there. Come and count it. It's a total of 120 coins. See if it's correct." Grandma Su gave the money and continued, "They are digging the foundation outside."

"Digging the foundation?" Seeing that they were busy, Su Ziling did not get involved. He limped to the table beside him and poured himself a cup of scented tea.

"Who's going to build a house? Why did you think of building it here?"

Although she didn't walk, she felt that riding a horse was more tiring. Her stomach was empty and her butt was sore from the bumping. After all the goings and comings, her stomach was already starving.

She sat at the table, drinking scented tea and eating peanuts, which were newly harvested this year.

She cooked them with salt and then dried them. Now they taste crispy and salty, much better than ordinary dried peanuts.

The scented tea was honeysuckle tea. She found it when she went up the mountain to pick mushrooms and brought it back. There weren’t many, so she picked two and dried them. It was enough for Grandma Sua to drink for a long time.

In addition to peanuts, there are walnuts and chestnuts in the fruit plate. The walnuts are roasted and very crispy, while the chestnuts are raw and a little difficult to peel, but they taste very sweet and crispy.

These were all picked this year. In addition to the place where they picked last year, they also picked some in other places, especially chestnuts.

Chestnuts usually grow in groups. If you come across one, there is basically a chestnut forest next to it.

We didn’t look for it carefully last year, but this year our whole family went up the mountain, walked around a little more, and finally found a chestnut forest.

He came back with several sacks, some of which he sold and some of which he gave to Shen Xingye. After all, he had contributed a lot to the sale of ginger and taro powder.

"Ah? Didn't Xiao Lu tell you?"

Hearing Lu Yan's name, Su Ziling paused while peeling the peanuts, then continued eating as if nothing had happened.

"This kid insisted that it was inconvenient to live at home, so he bought the vacant land next to us, hired a few craftsmen from the county, and found some people in the village to help build a house."

Hearing that it was Lu Yan who was going to build a house, Su Ziling didn't ask any more questions and drank the last sip of tea in the cup, "Grandma, have you cooked?"

"Your sister-in-law has steamed the rice. She must be going to the vegetable garden to pick vegetables now. If your feet are uncomfortable, take a rest and let her take care of it."

"Or are you hungry? If you are, come to my room. I put the snacks you made in the cupboard. It's not locked. Go and get them yourself."

"I'm not hungry. I'm going to go see my sister-in-law." He went into the house, checked the fire, and opened the lid of the steamer. He saw a bowl of bright red and transparent pickled radish and meat steaming inside.

As soon as the lid of the steamer is opened, the sour and fragrant aroma instantly hits your nose, making your mouth water.

I picked up the steamer and saw a bowl of red pickled pork ribs stewing at the bottom. It seemed that the ribs were still raw because they had just been steamed.

She added two handfuls of firewood in, took a backpack, picked up the hoe and walked out.

Her feet had recovered a lot, but she still couldn't walk as fast as usual, so she simply put down the hoe and used it as a crutch.

"If your feet are not feeling well, then don't go. Why can't you sit still, kid?" Seeing her walk to the door, Su's mother shouted.

But he couldn't take care of her as there were too many people selling olives.

Everyone was waiting to sell the olives so they could go back and make a fire to cook.

"My foot is fine. Mom, remember to watch the fire. Don't let the pot burn dry. I just added a handful of firewood."

As Su Ziling finished speaking, he had already walked out the door.

After giving the money, Grandma Su looked towards the gate and felt something was wrong.

Su's mother obviously noticed it too, "Mom, do you think these two kids are having a conflict? We went together, but why didn't we see Xiao Lu come back?"

"This girl is the same. She knew that Xiao Lu was building a house next door, but she didn't say a word and just got up and left. If it were any other time, she would have gone to join in the fun."

Grandma Su shook her head and said, "How would I know? I'll ask Xiao Lu later. Don't ask that girl anymore," and then she sighed heavily.

She really couldn't understand why this girl was so averse to getting married and finding a partner.

Normally, if you talk to her, she will just ignore it as if she didn't hear you. If you say a few more words, she will change the subject.

Could it be that what happened today was caused by the third brother’s family coming over this morning to look for a partner for little Lu?

But it doesn’t look like it.

Grandma Su muttered a few words, but couldn't figure it out.

Over there, Su Ziling passed by Lu Yan's foundation without even looking at him.

Lu Yan was stunned and scratched his head. Su Zizhong, who had finished work earlier and came to help, was also a little confused.

Coming to Lu Yan, he patted him and raised his chin slightly, looking at the back of Su Ziling who was holding a hoe over there, "Did you provoke her?"
