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

(Want to see the sauce and the wine? No)

The next morning, Su Ziling and the others got up before it was fully light.

According to the local custom, the newlyweds have to get up early and sweep the floor, and then light a fire and boil a pot of sugar tea.

The temperature difference between morning and evening in March is still a bit big. It is foggy in the morning, there is dew on the grass, and there is a slight coolness in the air.

Lu Yan helped to light the fire in the yard and fetched a pot of water to boil, so that when Grandma Su and the others got up later they would have hot water to wash.

After lighting the fire, he went to help Su Ziling shovel the garbage. Yesterday, the yard was full of melon seeds, peanuts, chestnut and walnut shells, as well as pine needles and flower petals that they scattered when the newlyweds came in. It was a thick layer, and the floor was almost invisible.

After sweeping the floor, there was a huge pile of garbage. Lu Yan took a backpack to collect it. Things like melon seed shells and pine needles could be directly poured into the manure pit to rot, which could be used as fertilizer.

The two of them had just cleaned the yard when Su's mother and the others got up. Shen Hongyin and the others also came over after hearing the noise. He and Lu Jingyu were both martial artists, so they went out to exercise early in the morning and took a walk around the area.

Although he only met Su Ziling twice yesterday and didn't say much, she somehow suited Shen Hongyin's taste.

Originally, she agreed to adopt Shen Xingye as his adopted daughter only because she heard from Shen Xingye that she could cook a lot of delicious food, farm, and helped him a lot.

But after that quick meeting yesterday, he felt that this matter should be dealt with sooner rather than later, so after returning from the Su family yesterday, he pulled Shen Xingye aside and asked him to tell him the story of Su Ziling in detail again.

The more he listened, the happier Shen Hongyin became. He even had the idea that Su Ziling was more like him than Shen Xingye.

So early in the morning, he took Lu Jingyu for a horse ride, under the pretext of exercise, but in fact he was going into the county and buying some gifts.

"Uncle Shen, Brother Lu? Why are you here so early?" Su Ziling had just put down the broom when he saw the two men walk in.

"Are you not used to sleeping there? Not many people have lived in Lu Yan's place, so there might be some smell. Ask someone to help fumigate it with mugwort later. I think you will sleep better tonight."

After she finished speaking, she went into the house and brought out two stools. "There's a fire over here. Uncle Shen, come over and warm yourself up. This is how it is when you live in the mountains. The temperature difference between morning and night is quite large."

"It's okay, it's not cold, and you slept well. Stop busying yourself and come over here to sit and warm yourself." Shen Hongyin took the stool from her hand.

"We both practice martial arts, and we've gotten used to getting up early in the military camp over the years, so we took a walk this morning. The environment here is so good, how could we not get used to sleeping here? Look at that brat Shen Xingye, he's still snoring."

When Shen Xingye was mentioned, several people laughed out loud.

Hearing the sound, Grandpa Su and the others also got up, "Brother Shen is here? This man is old and overslept."

Shen Hongyin smiled and said, "We didn't get enough sleep, so we came here early."

After Mr. Su and the others finished washing up, they came over to accompany them. Su Ziling then left and went into the kitchen to make a pot of tea for them.

I don’t know what they were talking about in the yard, but bursts of laughter could be heard.

As soon as Su's mother lit the fire, Liu Guilan and others from next door came over to help.

The wedding banquet here lasts for three days. Today is the third day, and they have to bring a breakfast. Everyone goes back to their own homes for lunch. However, if you have a good relationship with the family, you can call them over to eat a few more meals and help clean up the leftovers.

There were still a lot of leftovers from yesterday, so there was almost no need to cook anything today. However, with Shen Hongyin and the others around, Su Ziling still cooked a table of fresh dishes.

When eating, first pour everyone a cup of sugar tea to bring some joy to everyone, and after they finish drinking the sugar tea, the meal begins.

After the meal, everyone helped to clean up, washing the pots, bowls, ladles, and basins, as well as the tables, chairs, and benches, which were all returned.

He was busy until noon, when the yard finally became quiet. Su Ziling divided the unfried cabbages and radishes as well as the fried dishes that were in large portions into individual portions.

I delivered them door to door to those who had borrowed tables, chairs, benches, pots, pans, and utensils. I also gave them ten cents, which was not much, but I wanted to make it perfect.

There were also people who helped to welcome the bride, serve the food, and cut the vegetables. Anyone who helped received a red envelope of ten cents each.

After everyone had finished their work, Grandpa Su called Su Ziling over and told her that Shen Hongyin wanted to adopt her as his adopted daughter.

Su Ziling was stunned on the spot, and Lu Yan was also distracted for a moment. He had just been busy following her in and out, and he really didn't pay attention to what they were talking about.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Shen Xingye started to incite her, "Sister Xiaoqing, just agree to it."

"You are now a fourth-rank agricultural promotion envoy. You will inevitably have to deal with people in the court. Although you don't have to attend court, you will still have to deal with them. Those old guys in the court are all bullying. If someone dares to bully you in the future, you don't have to do anything. Just bring the old man out. With the old man's protection, you can almost walk sideways."

After he finished speaking, he lowered his voice and said, "You may not know that my old man's reputation in the court is actually not very good. Hehe, but there is also a good thing. No one dares to criticize him."

He lowered his voice so low that Mr. Su and the others did not hear it, but Shen Hongyin, Lu Jingyu and other martial artists heard his words clearly.

Lu Jingyu was trying to hold back his laughter, and Shen Hongyin's face darkened. He stood up, raised his hand, grabbed Shen Xingye's collar and pushed him back onto the stool, gritting his teeth and saying, "Sit still, and if you can't talk, then say less."

"Oh," Shen Xingye looked puzzled, but he still sat obediently under the pressure from the old man.

Seeing that he was safe, she looked at Su Ziling and said, "Little girl, you don't have to feel pressured. If we can have a feast today, it's okay. If not, it's okay. If someone dares to bully you in the future, you can tell my name, or tell that brat."

"Although he doesn't have any great abilities, he is very good at pretending to be powerful and throwing tantrums, and he can scare those people."

Su Ziling: "..."

That’s not a good word, is it?

Shen Xingye nodded, "Yes, yes, when you come to the capital in the future, come to find me. And Erniu, he also wants to take the imperial examination, why don't you let him go to the capital with me? I can find him a better teacher by then, and he doesn't need to look for a place to stay, he can just live in my house."

"Are you going back to Beijing?" Su Ziling was stunned.

Shen Xingye scratched his head. "About the same. It will probably take only two months. Hehe, thanks to you, Xiaoqing, I have secured my political achievements."

Finally Su Ziling agreed. No matter how you look at it, this matter is of great benefit to her, and she will also have an extra backer, so why not do it?

Just like Shen Xingye said, even if she didn't have to attend court, she was still appointed as the Agricultural Promotion Envoy by His Majesty, and it was impossible for her to never have to deal with those people for the rest of her life.

Also, as her business grew, she opened more and more workshops, and once Shen Xingye left, there would inevitably be trouble.

Having this backer can save you some trouble.

In this way, the two families did not hold a big celebration, but just sat together to have a meal. Su Ziling cooked the hotpot himself.
