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

Coming out of Su'a's milkman's room and looking at the dark courtyard, Su Ziling let out a long breath and felt less depressed.

She didn't think as far ahead as Grandma Su. She thought that relying on the hired people would be enough. But she forgot one thing. This was ancient times, and the imperial power was supreme. They could only deal with those ruffians at best. If someone really had intentions to do that, wouldn't it be as easy as crushing an ant?

Lu Yan...

He really seemed to be the best candidate. I was too busy bickering before and never thought about this aspect.

Now that I hear Grandma Su say this, it doesn’t seem to be true...

"Su Ziling." Lu Yan appeared out of nowhere and called her by her full name, interrupting her thoughts.

In fact, he thought about how to address her for a long time. Calling her Susu was too intimate, and she didn't like it. What about calling her Xiaoqing or Ahqing? It seemed that only her family members could address her that way.

And now she is still angry, so it seems that only calling her by her full name is most appropriate.

"Oh my god!" Su Ziling was startled by the sudden sound and took several steps back. She was about to trip over the threshold. Lu Yan reached out to pull her, but let go of her hand as soon as he saw she stood firm.

"Why are you not sleeping in the middle of the night? What are you doing lying next to my grandma and the others?"

She patted her chest with lingering fear, put her hands that were pulled behind her back, and rubbed them gently with her fingers. With the faint light in the room, she vaguely saw him standing beside her.

Lu Yan was stunned for a moment, and quickly explained: "I'm not, I didn't..."

Su Ziling sighed and thought, "Never mind." She withdrew her wrong feeling and decided to take it slow and see what happens.

Before he could finish his words, he saw Su Ziling walking away, so he had no choice but to follow him.

"I didn't lie down against the wall. I saw you go in and waited for you nearby."

Hearing his words, Su Ziling paused, and Lu Yan quickly came to his senses, "I wasn't eavesdropping, I was standing far away."

Not sure if it was an illusion, but in the darkness, Su Ziling actually heard panic and anxiety in his voice.

"I know you didn't eavesdrop. It's getting late. Go back to your room. You have a lot to do tomorrow."

"You're not angry anymore?" Lu Yan didn't leave.

Su Ziling shook his head, "I wasn't angry at all..."

After watching the two men walk away, Mr. Su returned to the house carrying the fire basket.

Grandma Su lifted the quilt a little, and Grandpa Su put the fire basket into the quilt and covered it with the quilt again.

Grandma Su lay flat on her back and put the fire basket away. "Why did you take so long?"

As Old Master Su took off his coat, he said, "I thought this girl was depressed all afternoon and suddenly came to see you. I guess you two have something to say, so I thought I would come back later."

"How is it? Why is she doing this?"

Grandma Su smiled and said, "What else could it be? It's just about marriage. Our family's attitude towards Xiao Lu is so obvious. This girl thinks that we are all eager for her to get married soon."

Old Master Su frowned. "This girl is usually so smart, why is she so confused about this?" He sighed and said, "Forget it, if she really doesn't want to get married, then don't get married. With the two of us here, no one in this family dares to let her suffer any grievances."

"When we are a hundred years old, we still have the second brother and his wife. If Erniu is a good student, he can take care of us. So, it doesn't matter if the marriage fails. She will still be free."

At this point, the old man suddenly paused, "It's broken!"

As he was about to put on his clothes, Su Ah Nai was stunned by his actions, "Where are you going?"

"When I came back just now, I saw that boy called Xiaoqing away. I have to go and take a look."

Su A Nai: "..."

"you come back!"

"Xiao Qing, is she such a tactless person? Go to sleep quickly and let nature take its course. Our words don't count. If it works out, that's good. If it doesn't, then it doesn't work. Just consider it as not being destined to be together."

Grandma Su's words pulled the old man back from his restless steps. He lay on the bed and sighed, "To be honest,"

Grandma Su said, "Then don't say it."

Mr. Su: "..."

"sleep."

As the words fell, the oil lamp in the room went out.

The night is as dark as ink, the sky is full of bright stars, the moonlight falls all over the courtyard, and the trees sway in the wind.

Once love breaks through the ground, it will surge like a tide, unstoppable and unconcealable.

October was the time for digging cassava. The escort team had been on the road for two months and had sent back a batch of cassava during that time. Su Ziling also worked overtime to get it out first.

At the end of October, Shen Xingye arrived late.

When he arrived, Lu Yan's house had already taken shape. At this rate, he would be able to move in before the New Year.

"Why are you here?" Seeing him, Lu Yan said he was not very happy.

Shen Xingye put his hands behind his back and walked around the house. "Why am I here? I'm so busy every day, but you're just eating and drinking every day, and you even built a house."

Lu Yan mercilessly exposed her, "So busy that you can't even get up and run? What are you busy with? Are you afraid that your sisters won't have anyone to accompany them, so you go to brothels every day?"

Shen Xingye: "Uh..."

"Don't say such harsh words! I didn't go to the brothel. I just went there to drink two cups of tea."

"Yeah," Lu Yan nodded, "It makes sense to go to a brothel and drink tea."

Shen Xingye: "..."

"No, you've been in this mountain, how come you know my situation so well?"

Lu Yan glanced at him, his eyes full of disdain and ridicule, "Just because you have nothing to do doesn't mean I have nothing to do either. What on earth are you doing here today? If you have nothing to do, leave now."

“Ahaha, what is that?” Shen Xingye’s eyes lit up when he saw Su Ziling walking out of the yard. “Sister Xiaoqing!”

Su Ziling was not too surprised to see him, "You're here?"

"You knew I was coming?" Shen Xingye grinned, smiling happily.

"I don't know." Su Ziling shook his head truthfully. "I guess this method of planting and the various data have been collected for so long, it's time for you to come. What do you think?"

"Let's try it in Nanning Prefecture for now. The harvest in your village is indeed good, and it has doubled compared to previous years, but it's not convincing enough. Let's use Nanning Prefecture as a pilot. If the harvest is good next year, then this planting method will be fully popularized and promoted the year after."

"Nanning Prefecture? A pilot project?" Su Ziling's eyes widened. "Are you sure it's Nanning Prefecture and not Yongchang County?"

Shen Xingye nodded, "That's right, it's all because of the old man's uselessness, otherwise we could have tried two more states."

Su Ziling: "..."

At first she thought it was just one county that would serve as a pilot, but she didn't expect it would be the entire Nanning Prefecture. In this case, their time would be very tight, after all, it was almost November.

Su Ziling expressed his concerns, and Shen Xingye scratched his head, "It seems so. One county is just right as a pilot. The whole prefecture seems a bit rushed. Otherwise,"

He scratched his head and said, "Let me write another letter to the old man. Shall we start with a county?"
