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

The sun at the end of June made people's skin burn painfully. This year seems to be much hotter than last year, and there was quite a lot of rain in the first half of the year.

But after June, there was no rain, and now it has not rained for more than 20 days.

The corn leaves in the field were curled up due to the sun, and the peppers were wilted due to the sun. They would be dried up if it didn't rain soon.

There was no other way. When the sun was not out in the morning and evening, Su's father and his family carried buckets to water the peppers. After watering the peppers, there were also islet fruits, ginger taro, chayote, etc., all waiting to be watered.

It was impossible to water the corn, firstly because there was too much corn, and secondly because there was no water source near the cornfield.

Fortunately, the potatoes and sugarcane do not need to be watered. They are planted in the fields given by God. Those fields are far away from Baihua Cave. It happened that there was rain there this year, so they do not need to be watered. Otherwise, I am afraid it would be really exhausting.

The weather is hot, but Grandpa Su and his colleagues still have to work under the sun. They can't rest at home. Looking at the corns that have curled up due to being dried in the sun, they are all so worried that their brows are never relaxed.

"Grandpa, don't go. What if you get sunburned lying in the field? Just take a rest during the day and wait until the sun goes down in the afternoon when the temperature is not so high before going out to the field."

Old Master Su sat on the doorstep, looking at the scorching sun, and sighed heavily, "If the rain doesn't come, we won't be able to harvest the crops this year."

He supported his knees with both hands and slowly stood up. "I'll go see if the water in the rice fields has dried up. The sun has been strong these past few days and the water has dried up quickly. I guess someone has gone to drain the water again. Don't let our water run dry."

"It won't take too long, right? We can go in the afternoon."

Su Ziling was also feeling anxious due to the heat. It was fine indoors, but once he stepped into the sun, the sun made his scalp hurt, and if he wore straw sandals, the dirt floor would burn his feet.

Seeing the old man going out with a backpack and a hoe, Su Ziling's face was full of helplessness.

"Okay, don't worry about him. He is such a grown-up. When he feels hot, he will naturally run home. I seemed to hear Youyou humming. I guess he woke up." Grandma Su interrupted her.

Su Ziling hurried into the house to see the child, and after a while he came out of the house empty-handed.

Grandma Su looked up and said, "Are you not awake yet?"

"No, he turned over, hummed a few times and fell asleep again."

Su Ziling shook his head, took down the hat hanging on the pillar, put it on and said to Grandma Su, "Grandma, please keep an eye on the pomelo for me. I'll go to the backyard to pick some chrysanthemums and stew some chrysanthemum meatballs. I'll also make some chrysanthemum tea. It's too hot today, so drinking some chrysanthemum tea will cool you down."

"Okay, go ahead, I'll watch it." Su Grandma responded, and when she looked up, she saw Maodou sitting on the ground playing. Looking at the roasted broad beans scattered all over the ground by him, Su Grandma's brows were knotted.

She put down the sole of the shoe in her hand, walked over to pull him up, and slapped his hand, "Who told you to knock over the broad beans? These are for eating, who taught you to play like that?"

The force was not strong, perhaps because her expression was too serious, which frightened Maodou so much that he started to shed tears.

Seeing this, Grandma Su didn't change her expression, but her tone softened. "This is food. You can't play with it, understand? If you lose the food, you will starve. Can I let you go without food for three days?"

Maodou opened his mouth, tears still hanging on his eyelashes. When he heard that he couldn't eat for three days, he immediately shook his head and pointed to his stomach and said, "I'm hungry."

"It's good that you're hungry. Pick it up quickly."

Seeing Maodou picking beans obediently, a smile appeared on Su's face. She touched his head, praised him a few times, and praised the little kid so much that he lost his mind.

In the yard behind the house, Su Ziling was pinching Huo Xiang with sweat all over his forehead.

She brought this Huoxiang back from Mr. Li's house. She planted one at the foot of the wall, and it became a forest in a year.

Later, I pulled out a few trees and gave them to several aunts' families in the village, as well as a few families with whom I had good relations. I even took a few trees to my uncle's family. Huoxiang is a good thing. It can be used to make tea, steam eggs, or stew meat.

It can not only be used as a spice, but also as a medicinal ingredient. It is perfect for relieving the heat on hot days.

Moreover, this herb reproduces quickly. It grows every year after we clean it up. It grows more and more vigorous as we grow more and more dense. After the beginning of spring, we can’t even eat enough of it.

He picked two handfuls and filled half a basket. Seeing that the number was almost enough, Su Ziling stopped picking. He closed the fence door, washed the angelica root by the well, and went into the house to boil water.

Take a large basin, put the houttuynia cordata in it, and put two pieces of brown sugar in it. Pour the boiling water directly into the houttuynia cordata basin, then cover the basin and wait for the medicinal properties of the houttuynia cordata to come out.

When the time is almost up, take off the lid and let the Huoxiang tea dry.

She had just finished her work when she heard the door being pushed open with a bang, which scared Grandma Su and the others.

"Grandpa? What's wrong with you?"

Grandpa Su threw the backpack and hoe at the foot of the wall. "Old Wang is dizzy and is carrying him to our side. Where's Xiao Lu? Is he home? He's fast. Let him ride his horse to help get a doctor."

"Is it so serious?" Su Ziling didn't expect that someone actually got heatstroke.

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the fourth uncle's eldest son Su Yongxing carrying Old Wang into the yard.

"Uncle, how is it, is Lu Yan home?"

"He's not at home, quickly carry him into the main room," Su Ziling took a look and saw that the person's eyes were closed, his face was flushed, but his lips were pale.

"Grandma, take Maodou to the kitchen and don't let him watch." For fear of scaring Maodou, Su Ziling asked Grandma Su to take him away.

"Uncle Xing, please unbutton his shirt first. I'll go get some water to cool him down."

Su Yongxing was just stunned for a moment, then quickly did as he was told. "Okay, OK!"

Su Ziling took a basin, fetched a bucket of well water, and took a piece of cloth, and asked someone to cool down Old Wang physically.

The well water was relatively cool, and after rubbing it a few times, the temperature was not that high anymore. Su Ziling then had someone pinch his philtrum, and Old Wang finally woke up slowly.

Seeing that he woke up, Su Ziling breathed a sigh of relief and fetched a bucket of well water for him to drink. He felt much better after that.

Su Yongxing then stopped, put the cloth on his forehead, and asked him while fanning him, "Uncle Wang, why are you working in the fields in this weather? If my uncle hadn't seen you, he would have said something extremely treasonous, and no one would know even if you died in the fields."

Old Wang smiled bitterly, "Your aunt felt weak when she woke up in the morning. She felt weak and nauseous at noon. Her face was pale and bloodless. I thought of going to the ridge to dig some herbs for her, but I didn't know it would be so hot that day."

He sighed and said, "I'm sorry to trouble you."

"Don't worry about it. Rest for a while. When you feel better, let Yongxing take you home. Stay indoors during the day and come out when the sun goes down in the morning or evening."

After saying this, Mr. Su looked at Su Ziling who was standing beside him, "Is he okay?"

Su Ziling shook his head. "It will be fine if you take it easy. He just has heat stroke. My aunt-in-law probably has heat stroke too. You should drink more water when you get back."

Then he went to the kitchen and scooped a few bowls of Huoxiang tea, and gave one to each of them. "Here, drink this, it will cool you down."

Su Yongxing sniffed the smell and said, "Why does this smell so familiar? It feels like the Huoxiang you gave me."

Su Ziling nodded, "It's Huoxiang. I thought the weather was too hot, so I picked some and brought them back to make tea, which is just right to relieve the heat."

"I thought so. This smell is very familiar. When your aunt doesn't want to cook, she just picks a handful of angelica root, chops it up and puts it in the eggs, and makes steamed eggs for us to eat."

After Su Yongxing finished speaking, he raised his head and drank all the Huoxiang tea in one breath, "How much sugar did you put in this? It's very sweet."

"Not much. You should cook more to drink when you go back. It's too hot today," he said, looking at Old Wang standing aside.

"Uncle, when you go back later, bring a bowl back for Auntie. I think she'll be fine after drinking it. I remember you have this Huoxiang at home, too. You can use it to make tea or steam eggs. Eat more."

"Okay, I'll remember it."

Su Ziling also did not forget to ask Su Yongxing to remind her third uncle's wife's family, as well as the people in the village, that if they didn't have Huo Xiang, they should come to her to get some. The family should prepare some in the next two days, just in case.

After saying that, she went back to the kitchen and boiled some water. "How is it?" Seeing her come in, Grandma Su came over to greet her.

"It's okay, I just had a heat stroke. Grandma, you and Maodou should also drink a bowl of Huoxiang tea. When Youyou wakes up later, you have to coax her to drink some."

Looking at the dripping Huoxiang on the stove, she put it directly into the basin and said, "Let's soak this too. I'll go and find out the time. I'll have to drink more when my father and the others come back."

After saying that, he took the basket and went back to the backyard to pick a handful, thinking of making some more soaks and sending some to the people in the workshop later to prevent them from getting heatstroke.
