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

Su Ziling took a look at what he brought. There was quite a lot, especially the meat, and a piece of pork belly. Thinking that she hadn't eaten fresh meat for a few days, she simply cut a piece out to make twice-cooked pork.

It was just right with the green and red peppers, but we didn't have enough time, otherwise the meat would have been delicious when used to make pork with preserved vegetables.

After dinner, she told Grandpa Su and the others that she probably wouldn't be back for a long time.

Grandpa Su waved his hand and said, "Go ahead. Don't worry about home. The broad beans and peas have been planted, and the radishes are big. We know what to do. Don't worry. Just go and do your work."

Father Su also nodded and said, "Yes, we can't help, but we certainly won't be a hindrance. We did the same thing last year, so there won't be any problems."

Su Ziling nodded and explained carefully, "I've already told Auntie about the pickled vegetables. When the seedlings are almost ready, we'll start making them. The same goes for pickled radishes. Don't do it all by yourselves. Just hire someone if you need to."

"By the way, it's almost time to pick the lacquer seeds in the mountains. Let Twenty and Uncle Yonghe go pick them. You guys don't have to go because the trees are taller."

"And there are soapberries. Mother, do you remember where they are? Don't forget to pick them up when the time comes. We'll need them to make soap next year."

"I remember, I remember," Su's mother nodded, "and I already know how to pickle vegetables. I'll pickle them early and eat them when we kill the pig for the New Year."

"Remember the soapberry too. I'll ask your dad to go with me. I won't forget this. The soap made from it makes washing clothes much easier. The one for washing hair is also very useful. Don't worry, I won't forget this even if I forget anything else."

Su Ziling made shampoo soap later. When he went up the mountain to pick mushrooms, he encountered a Polygonum multiflorum plant, which was quite large.

Mr. Su was thinking that he could make a lot of money from it, but he didn't expect that she would just use it to make shampoo soap.

I added some cypress leaves and the like, and you won’t believe it, the hair after washing is not only smooth but also fragrant. My hair is also much better than before. It used to be frizzy, but now it is soft and smooth.

"Oh, and there are also oil tea fruits. My eldest brother knows the exact location. If you don't know, remember to call Hu Zi and the others and ask them to lead the way. This is the most important thing. Don't forget it."

"The day after tomorrow is the Frost Descent. We can pick the oil after that. The steps for extracting oil are similar to last year. There are also fern roots. If you have time, go dig some next month. If you don't have time, forget it."

As she spoke, she thought, "There are also olives. If licorice is not enough, you can go to the county and ask Eighteen to buy some. He knows where to get them. There are also rabbits and sweet potatoes..."

"Okay, okay, we get it. We've got it all memorized. We won't forget it. Hurry up and grab some clothes to go. Don't keep them waiting. These are just small things. We did it last year, so we can remember it."

"Go teach everyone how to farm and promote this method of farming. That's your most important thing right now."

Grandma Su touched her head and interrupted her.

Thinking that he had explained almost everything, Su Ziling continued, "Okay, grandma, we'll leave then."

Grandma Su and Mother Su followed her back to the room, "Did you bring enough clothes for changing? Soap, shampoo soap, and shoes."

"The temperature is quite low now, so you should bring some thick clothes with you, and put on the rabbit fur tie I gave you. Didn't your grandma make you a new one? Bring two more, the county is even colder than here."

"Okay, take two more, and one for A Xiu as well." Looking at the collars handed to her by Su's mother, she put them all into the package.

"Oh, by the way, mother, I'm going to go see Erniu. Go and give him some pickled radish and pork, and a jar of pickled pork ribs, and some more mushroom sauce."

"I got it, I got it, everything is ready." Su's mother looked down at her package, her brows furrowed tighter the more she looked, "What are you bringing?"

"Ah?" Su Ziling took a look at the package. "No problem. I brought three sets of clothes for changing and three pairs of shoes. These three pairs are for going out, and this pair is for washing feet. I can change them in time."

"That's not what I'm talking about," Su's mother poked her forehead in frustration, "Look at the clothes you brought, they're so gray and patched, there's not a single bright color like this."

Su Ziling was stunned.

Then she thought of Su's mother's idea, and smiled helplessly, "Mother, I'm going to farm, not to visit guests. It's not easy to work if I wear fancy clothes. Those beautiful clothes affect my swinging of the hoe. Besides, they are not resistant to dirt. They will get dirty in a short time. It's better to wear ordinary clothes. That's it, ah."

Su Ziling said this as she quickly re-tied the package, fearing that Su's mother would really stuff some bright dresses into her mouth.

Seeing that Su's mother was still unwilling to give up, Su's grandmother spoke up, "Okay, second daughter-in-law, if she likes these clothes, then take them."

Grandma Su took out a purse from her bosom and gave it to her. The purse was also gray in color. "I just made this. There are so many people in the county every day, so it's not easy to make it brightly colored. This one should be a little more low-key. I put some silver in it for you. Take it and spend it."

"Grandma," Su Ziling pushed back, "I have some money in my hand. Even if I don't have enough, I can go to the restaurant to get some. You forgot that my third uncle and his family are still in the county."

Grandma Su paused, "Look at me, my memory is really not that good when I get old, I forgot all this." But she still insisted on handing the silver to her, "What you have is yours, this is given to you by grandma, take it."

"Okay, I'll take it." Su Ziling didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She weighed it and estimated that there were probably about ten taels of silver in it.

She had just put it away when she saw Su's mother starting to take out silver. "Mom, that's enough, don't take any more. I really don't need so much." After saying that, she picked up the package and fled out of the house.

Su's mother chased after her, "Girl, how can you have enough spare money? As the saying goes, poverty leads to wealth. Poverty leads to wealth. Just in case, it never hurts to bring more."

"Mother, I am going to the county, not to a far place, and I will come back. It's not like I will leave and never come back."

She was carrying a package, while Lu Yan and the other three were standing in the middle of the yard waiting for her.

"Okay, then don't take it." Mother Su took the silver back, "When will you be back? We'll wait for you when we kill the New Year pig."

Su Ziling thought for a moment and said, "It may be later, it's hard to say, but it should be around the same time as Erniu and the others, so we can just set the date closer to the New Year."

"Okay, then I have to pickle the vegetables seven or eight days in advance," he said, looking at Lu Yan and the others, "Xiao Lu, you too, if you go out together, come back together, and then come over to eat the New Year's Pig Dinner. I guess you haven't eaten it yet, it's going to be lively."

"Okay, auntie, don't worry, we will definitely come." Shen Xingye responded with a smile. If there is food, then he will definitely come.
