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

At first, he was startled by Su Ziling's action, but after hearing her words, he burst into laughter. "Well, OK, I'll go back and ask them when I have time. If they can find a job, they will definitely be very happy. I'll thank the girl on their behalf."

As he spoke, his eyes actually became slightly red.

Even though he didn't say anything, Su Ziling knew that those people must have a difficult time.

Even if they have healthy hands and feet, it is not easy for young people to find jobs, let alone them.

Being injured and old, I am afraid I will have to endure the strange looks from others, and even my relatives may look down on me.

"We should be the ones to say thank you to them. Without their decades of guarding the border, how could we live and work in peace and contentment today? Every day of our peaceful life is inseparable from their sweat and blood."

"Well, you don't have to waste time. Go back tomorrow and ask how many people you can find. I have to get busy here too. The mushrooms won't wait. If it rains again, they'll explode."

Although the workshop and the restaurant had not been bought yet, Su Ziling had already taken care of the "security", which relieved her of one of her concerns.

After dinner, the family sat by the fire and talked in detail about what had happened recently.

It was not until it got dark that everyone washed their feet and went back to their rooms.

Su Ziling lay on the bed, smelling the scent of sunshine on the quilt. His brain was too busy to think and his upper eyelid had already moved to find his lower eyelid.

The next day, just after daybreak, the people of the Su family were already busy.

Seeing that she was still asleep, everyone moved very carefully and didn't make any noise.

She slept until noon, and when she woke up, Su Zizhong and his friends had already finished their meal and went out to set up their stall.

Old Man Su and his father also went to the fields, waiting to pull out the weeds in the potato and sugarcane fields.

These two things eat feces, so not only the seedlings grow well, but the grass grows well as well. I had just pulled it out once, and after the rain and the sun, it grew a dense layer again.

There were only Grandma Su and Wang Anan in the yard. They sat under the eaves, talking in low voices while drying their sewn clothes.

Hearing the door open, Grandma Su turned around and glanced at her. "Are you up? The rice is warming in the pot. Go and eat it quickly. If you're still sleepy after eating, go back and take a nap."

Su Ziling yawned, put his arms around Su Grandma's neck, and lay on her back with his face pressed tightly against her back.

"No more sleep, I've had enough sleep, where are my mother and the others?"

"I went to the fields. There was so much weeding that I couldn't finish it. One crop came after another. Look, those bundles over there are what they brought back. They're just the right size to chop and feed the pigs."

As Su Grandma spoke, she raised her chin and looked towards the pile of pig feed at the foot of the wall.

Wang Anan wrinkled his nose. "Why can't we pull out all the grass? After we pull out one crop, there's still another one growing well. Why can't crops be like grass and grow well even without any care?"

Sua's grandmother was amused. "As the saying goes, a thousand-year-old rapeseed and a ten-thousand-year-old grass seed, how could they die so easily?"

As he spoke, he raised his hand and patted Su Ziling's head, "Girl, go wash up quickly. The food is in the pot. I am an old woman and I want to live a few more years. If you lie down for a while longer, I will fall apart."

"Okay, grandma is starting to dislike me. It's been such a short time since I was home. Alas~" As she said this, she shook her head.

Grandma Su was so amused that she didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Look at this girl. She's already seventeen years old, but she's still not in good shape."

"Ah Qing is still young, so it's good this way. She's tired enough on weekdays. It's only now, when she sees you, grandma, that she's like this."

Wang Anan shook the clothes in her hands and said, "Grandma, what do you think? Will it look good on Qing?"

Grandma Su was surprised, "Aren't you making your own?"

She had been making this dress for several days. The color looked fresh and the style was novel. Grandma Su thought she made it for herself.

"No, this is for Ah Qing. How can I wear this color? And look at me, grandma," she pinched the flesh around her waist, "I'm pregnant and I've eaten too well. I've gained so much weight. I'm afraid I can't wear my old clothes anymore."

"How can she be fat? She was too thin before, but now she's just the right size. She'll lose weight again after she has a baby. Don't make them for her all the time. Make two more for yourself. Don't you have any colors you like?"

"Tell Xiaoqing which color you like. She often goes to the county. Ask her to bring it back for you."

Su Ziling washed up, went into the kitchen to get his meal out, took a large bowl, scooped a spoonful of rice, and covered the food on top. When he went out, he heard what the two people were talking about. He had only heard some of it sporadically in the room just now.

"Sister-in-law, please don't make them for me. I have a lot of clothes, many of which I haven't had time to wear yet. You can make a few more for yourself and for the children."

"Yes, speaking of children, it suddenly occurred to me that I bought a few feet of cotton cloth," she said as she carried the bowl into the house, holding the bowl in one hand and the cloth in the other.

"Look at this, this is softer and can be used to make clothes for children."

"You bought more cloth? I have more in my room." Although she said this, she was still very happy when she saw the cloth, especially when she held it in her hands, she could clearly feel that this cloth was much better.

After dinner, Su Ziling took a stroll in the yard. The cows had been taken away by the old man and his family, so the cowshed was empty.

There were five and a half-grown pigs in the pigsty, as well as rabbits, which had given birth to many more.

The chickens were not at home and could not be kept in captivity, so at daybreak, after feeding them grass, they were driven out into the mountains to find food.

When the sun sets at night, they will come back on their own, eat some chicken grass, and then squat on the beams of the pigpen and cowshed.

Only the ducks can be kept captive, but they eat a lot, poop a lot, and the smell is a bit strong. Fortunately, Su's mother and others clean the house every day, otherwise it would be unbearable.

After looking at the ones in the yard, she went outside to check on the other pigs.

The row of pig pens was built outside, with five pens, each holding six pigs, for a total of thirty pigs.

Add the five in the yard, that makes thirty-five.

There are thirty-five pigs, and they need to eat several bundles of grass a day. In addition to the grass that Su's mother and her family bring back every day, they sometimes also cut grass from banana trees and mix it with sweet potato residue to feed them.

Banana trees can also clear away heat and detoxify, and feeding them occasionally is also good for pigs.

I went to the pigpen for a look and then strolled over to the workshop. There were not many mushrooms at the moment, so there were only three or four people inside, but the number of people in the sweet potato workshop did not decrease.

The weather was so hot that everyone was sweating profusely, but everyone was very happy and talking and laughing.

Especially when he saw Su Ziling, "Xiaoqing is back?"

"When did you come back?"

"Come over to my house for dinner later. Your uncle has bought some honey and a lot of bee pupae."

"Hey, I'm back. I came back last night. It was too late and I haven't been to your place yet."

"Bee pupae? I won't eat them. Call me some other time when you kill chickens."

Su Ziling answered while checking the production of vermicelli, and Su Yonghe followed her all the time.

"Everything is going well in the workshop, and the output has increased a lot. Don't worry, I'll be watching over it, and nothing will go wrong."

"I'll be relieved if you keep an eye on me. Bring your brother with you tomorrow and teach him a lesson. I plan to have him take your place."

Hearing her words, Su Yonghe was stunned at first, even though he didn't understand why she made such arrangements, he still nodded in agreement.

"Okay, I'll call him up tomorrow."

"Why don't you ask me where he will take your place? What are you going to do?"

Su Yonghe grinned, "Where are you going? You can't ask me to go back to pound sweet potatoes, right? If you replace me, there will probably be a more suitable workstation for me."
