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

As for teaching Su Yongming how to castrate a pig, Su Ziling also had not forgotten it. When the piglet was just six days old, she asked Su Zizhong to call Su Yongming up, but did not let him do it. He just stood by and watched.

Su Ziling held the piglet's hind legs, squeezed its butt, took a blade in his hand, and gently cut it, then squeezed, pulled, and tugged with two fingers.

Afterwards, they applied some medicine on the piglets' wounds. Listening to the piglets' screams, Su Ziling's knife moved swiftly. Before they could react, all five boars had been castrated.

The remaining four were all sows, and people had greeted them. They would come and catch them as soon as they started to eat.

Su Yongming swallowed and said, "Is it all right now?"

Not only him, but even Su's father, mother, Su Zizhong and Lu Yan were a little slow to react.

They had never seen a pig being castrated before, so they followed over to watch. Who knew she was so quick and got it done in just a few words.

Su Ziling replied as he put away the knife, "Yes, what else? Isn't it very simple?"

After not hearing a reply for a long time, she thought he didn't see clearly, so she comforted him, "It's okay, there will be two more nests in two days. I might have been too fast just now. I'll give you a try. It's very simple. You may be a little scared the first time, but it will be fine after a few tries."

Just keep cutting...and it will be fine.

I don’t know why, but everyone shuddered after hearing her words.

When turning around and walking back, Su Zizhong paused beside Lu Yan, raised his hand and patted him gently on the shoulder.

"What is my elder brother doing?" Su Ziling looked at him with a puzzled look.

"It's okay," Lu Yan looked down at the knife in her hand, which was still stained with blood. He looked determined, "I'll help you get it. The road is difficult to walk on."

"Okay, be careful, this knife is a bit sharp."

Lu Yan knew very well whether the knife was sharp or not. After all, he had asked someone to help him make the knife.

It was already December when we finished harvesting sugarcane. In early December, the whole family was busy making dry pickled vegetables. These dry pickled vegetables were delicious whether used to cook Qinglongguohai soup or stew meat.

It is especially popular for making soup in the summer. Many people buy dried pickled vegetables and cook them at home. The caravans passing by buy the most, and they usually take them with them to cook soup on the road.

After being busy for seven or eight days, the village began to slaughter the New Year pig from the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month. In the past, people worried about not having enough meat to eat.

Now I’m a little worried that I won’t have enough food. When the time comes, every family starts to slaughter the New Year pigs.

There are so many people in my family that it’s hard to divide the food among them. In mid-December, we have to start picking radishes again. We first dry the shredded radishes and make pickled radishes and meat for the New Year.

Dried shredded radish can be used to make pickled radish, pickled spicy radish cubes, pickled stir-fried vegetables, etc.

They ate the New Year pig meal while waiting. Their family's New Year pig would not be slaughtered until December 24th, because Bai Wei, Su Zimu and others would have returned by then.

After slaughtering the New Year pig, people start pounding rice cakes, buy New Year goods, and then celebrate the New Year.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, during the Mao hour (5:00-7:00), Su Ziling went into labor. It was still dark, and when she felt her water breaking, she quickly called Lu Yan.

The midwife was sent by Shen Xingye, and a female doctor came with her. The two of them stayed with Lu Yan and his family early on.

Shen Xingye said that he would lend these two people to her, and he would feel more at ease with them taking care of her.

Lu Yan first lit the oil lamp, put on his clothes while running, knocked on the doors of the midwife and the female doctor, and then asked someone to go to the old house to tell Su's mother and others.

Although the movement was very gentle, it still woke up Suana.

She half sat up straight, listened to the noise outside, and gently patted Old Man Su beside her, "Old man, old man."

Old Master Su turned over and said, "Hmm." His voice was vague.

"Wake up quickly."

"It feels like Xiaoqing is about to give birth."

Mr. Su, who was half asleep, woke up instantly. "Is the baby born? I'll go check it out. You lie down first."

Grandma Su also put on her clothes and said, "How can I lie down? Let's go over and take a look. I don't know if the midwife and doctor we hired can help. If not, I have to take over."

When the two came out, Su's mother and the others just walked into the yard. "Dad, Mom? What happened to you?"

"Did Xiaoqing give birth?"

"Xiao Lu sent someone over to shout that the engine had started. Let's go over and take a look. It's pitch black in this winter, and the road is slippery and hard to see. Don't go over there. Go back and lie down."

"There's no place to lie down. Even if she's going to have sex in the next few days, let's go over and take a look."

That night, the Su family's house was brightly lit.

It was not until the beginning of the Si hour (9:00) that a loud baby cry was heard from the house, and everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The midwife came out of the room with a happy look on her face, "Congratulations, congratulations, mother and daughter are safe."

Su Ziling had suffered a lot for two hours. He looked haggard and his eyes were almost closed. "Where's the baby?"

"Here, here, is a lady."

Looking at the wrinkled and red child, Su Ziling was stunned, and then a little bit of disgust appeared on his face.

Seeing this, the midwife started to speak kindly, "Madam, you are so lucky. Look how beautiful the young lady is."

Su Ziling raised his eyes and glanced at her, his eyes full of indescribable expression, "Does it look good?"

"It's beautiful. Look at this little face, so rosy and plump. As the saying goes, flowers bloom before fruits can be produced..."

"What's so good about it? It's so ugly."

“Huh…?”

The midwife's words were interrupted and she was a little at a loss. She looked at Lu Yan beside her, and then at Su Ziling.

"Ayan, don't you think it's ugly?"

Lu Yan looked down at the baby in the midwife's arms. The midwife handed the child to him and taught him how to hold the child.

"It's not ugly. How can it be ugly? It's so beautiful. Look at it. This mouth, this nose, these eyes, they are exactly the same as yours."

Su Ziling: "..."

She didn't know how Lu Yan came up with that boast.

"You can tell that you're the same as me without even opening your eyes?"

When Grandma Su and Su's mother came in, they heard Su Ziling saying that the child was ugly. They looked at each other, with a look of confusion on their faces.

Seeing that Lu Yan didn’t know how to hold her, he froze there, “Give it to me.”

Seeing Su's mother take it, Lu Yan breathed a sigh of relief.

Su's mother and Su's grandmother were very surprised. "I heard you yelling about being ugly outside the door. How can you be ugly? You look so beautiful, right, mom?"

Grandma Su also nodded and said, "It is very beautiful, much more beautiful than when you were born. This child is like this when he is just born. He will be fine after two days of nurturing."

"She is indeed much prettier than when Xiaoqing was born. She probably takes after her father." Su's mother wouldn't let go of the girl she was holding. The more she looked at her, the more she liked her.

Su Ziling: "..."

Are you saying she's ugly? If the child is good-looking, it's because he inherited Lu Yan's genes, and if he's ugly, it's because he inherited her genes?

The corners of her mouth twitched, but seeing how surprised Su's mother and the others were, smiling so much that their eyes narrowed into slits, she wondered again, could it be that I had just seen it wrong?

"Mother, let me take another look."

"Here, have you seen it? Is it still ugly?" Su's mother bent down slightly and took a look at her.

She was really small, and her hands were so small that she didn't even dare to pinch them.

Su Ziling reached out and gently touched her face, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and she said: "After looking at it for a long time, it seems to be okay, not so ugly anymore."
