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

So many sweet potatoes and chayote were transported out of the village in a grand manner that everyone seemed to notice something was wrong.

When Su Ziling first came to buy bitter melons, everyone was quite happy, thinking that she was going to take them to the restaurant or transport them somewhere else to sell. But now looking at the situation, no matter how they look at it, something seems wrong.

"Qing girl, what's going on? Why doesn't this look like a caravan?"

"Yeah, yeah, what happened?"

"I was setting up a stall in the valley a few days ago, and heard from a passing caravan that there was another fight on the border, and it seemed to last a long time this time, unlike the previous minor fights."

The other side of the valley has become a street. In addition to selling their own goods, villagers will occasionally go there to sell things at home, hoping to earn every penny.

"There's such a thing? Why didn't I hear about it?"

"What can you hear if you stay at home every day? Xiaoqing, tell us the truth. Did something happen? We can be prepared."

"Yeah, yeah, stock up on food and stuff in advance."

A group of people gathered around the old Su's house, making a lot of noise. Before Su Ziling could say anything, the old patriarch came out.

"The clan leader is here, the clan leader is here! Everyone make way."

I saw Su Yongning supporting the old clan leader Su Chenghuai and walking quickly towards this side. It was he who shouted "The clan leader is here" twice just now.

When he saw that the situation was not right, he ran to ask the clan leader for help. He thought Su Chenghuai was walking too slowly and was afraid that he would not be able to catch up, so he simply carried the old man on his back and ran away.

As he walked towards this side, he urged, "Grandfather, please hurry up, otherwise I'm afraid my niece won't be able to hold on."

"I don't know if that girl can hold on, but if you keep dragging the old man like this, I'm going to fall apart." After walking only a few steps, Su Chenghuai was a little out of breath.

Noticing his condition, Su Yongning stuck out his tongue, then slowed down his pace, shouting as he walked, trying to attract everyone's attention.

Su Ziling was quite surprised to see the old patriarch appear, and stepped forward to greet him, "Ancestor, why are you here?"

Su Chenghuai patted the back of her hand and said, "This kid was afraid that you would suffer a loss, so he carried my old bones and ran away. I almost fell apart."

Su Ziling then looked at him and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Uncle Yongning."

Being called Uncle Yongning made him shy. Although he was older in generation, he was younger than Su Ziling.

"It's not hard. When my brother left, he told me to protect you and that you were too soft-hearted. If anything happens, let me go find the old patriarch."

Everyone was quite surprised to see him. After all, the old man was old and rarely went out.

"Ancestor, why are you here?"

"Yeah, but what happened? If something happens, we can prepare in advance."

"What preparations have you made in advance?" After the old man stood firmly, he first pushed away the hands of Su Ziling and Su Yongning, put his crutches in front of him, and rested his hands on them.

Seeing that everyone was gathered here, he poked the ground heavily and said, "Ask yourselves, how has this girl treated you in the past few years? Didn't she teach you how to ferment manure? Didn't she teach you how to make medicine for insect infestations? Didn't she confiscate a single cent from you?"

"She also taught me the ridge and furrow planting method and intercropping, right? And she didn't charge you for it, did she?"

"Not only that, we try to pay you high wages when you work in the workshop, and we also find work for you to do so that you can supplement your family income. Why, now that life is getting better, have you forgotten what it was like before?"

"To put it bluntly, without her, would you be where you are today?"

The old man's words fell heavily on everyone's heart, striking their hearts again and again.

"Grandfather, we have no other intentions. We just want to ask what happened. We are very worried. We think Qing girl is often out and about, so she might have better information."

"Yes, we all remember her kindness. Without her, we wouldn't be where we are today. Without her, we would definitely still be living from hand to mouth like we were two years ago. We don't mean any other thing, we're just asking out of curiosity."

"You're just asking out of curiosity and you're gambling here?" Su Cheng looked at everyone with a look of dismay, "You said you didn't mean anything else, so what are you doing?"

Everyone lowered their heads silently. There was silence. "Okay, go do what you need to do. Why are you all gathered here? Xiaochun isn't going to plant anymore?"

No one could ask a single question, and after being scolded, everyone quietly dispersed.

When it is time to go to work, go to work; when it is time to go to work, go to work.

Seeing that everyone had left, the old man turned around and walked into the yard. "Girl, tell me the truth. Where are all these things you transported to?"

Su Ziling sighed, "I knew I couldn't hide it from you, Old Ancestor. In fact, what everyone said is true. There was indeed a fight on the border, and our food was sent over there."

Su Chenghuai sighed, "I should have thought of that. We should have everyone store some food to be prepared."

What Su Ziling wanted to say was, if we really can’t hold on, what’s the point of storing food?

If the country is gone, how can the family exist?

If we really fail to hold on, where can we escape to?

Su Chenghuai went into the house and chatted with Old Man Su for a while. He had lunch at the Su's house before leaving.

After he left, Grandma Su and the others all looked at her and asked her what had happened.

Su Ziling didn't say much, and just repeated to them what he had said to the old patriarch.

After a long while, Grandpa Su looked at Su Zizhong and the others, "Then let's not set up a stall in the valley for now. Let's take a break first and then set up a stall when the world is better. Anyway, our family has no worries about food and drink now."

"I thought so too. Let's not go to the col for now. We can take care of Xiaochun and store some of the potatoes and islet fruits in the cellar." This can be considered as the worst-case plan.

In September, the drizzle kept falling. The ginger and taro in the field had just been dug out and before we could move them home, the rain came.

Su's mother wiped her hair while saying, "It seems that there is indeed more rain this year. Can the ginger taro still be preserved after being soaked in the rain?"

"It's okay. The mud has just been washed away. We can just pound it into powder when we bring it back." Ziling frowned as he looked at the misty mountain Su.

She hadn't been to the county during this period, so she didn't know how Lu Yan was doing, nor did she know whether the food had been delivered.

Thinking of this, she wiped her hair twice and said, "Grandpa, I want to go to the county after the rain stops."

Everyone was stunned when they heard her words, but no one stopped him. "Go if you want to. Bring twenty with you when you go."

There were not enough people, so Chang'an also went to deliver food. Now she only had twenty people around her. Fortunately, she didn't have to set up a stall now.
