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

As soon as it got dark, every household put out the fire and went to bed. Mr. Su and the three of them held torches and went from house to house asking questions.

Of course, Mr. Su knew exactly which families to ask, so there was no need to ask those whose families were more difficult.

Usually, people have a lot of land at home and have seen their families grow it before. This kind of people may have it in their homes.

Several people took the sacks and walked away separately. One person asked which house they had, and the speed increased.

Red beans, peas, eggs, leeks, whatever you want, all of a sudden, many houses in the village lit up.

Those who got up weighed red beans and peas, packed eggs, and cut leeks. Knowing that they needed it urgently, everyone divided the labor and cooperated. Each person took the same thing, trying to get Mr. Su and the others to quickly ask the next house.

The third uncle and the fourth uncle were also woken up. The third uncle was wearing a coat and yawning profusely. The door was being knocked loudly. He rubbed his eyes and asked, "Who is it? Why can't you do it tomorrow?" Say it in the morning?"

His tone was full of impatience. As soon as the door opened, when he saw Mr. Su standing at the door holding a torch, the third uncle's face immediately became cheerful.

"Is it brother? Come in quickly, I thought it was who it was! Is there anything wrong with coming here so late?"

Mr. Su followed him, "Why do you go to bed so early? Have you dug all the sweet potatoes?"

Go to bed so early?

The third uncle thought he heard wrongly. He looked up at the sky. The stars were bright and the moon was bright. Yes, it was indeed dark!

No, who doesn’t want to sleep at this point?

The third uncle scratched his head and said, "I haven't finished digging yet, but I don't want to go digging at night, right?"

Mr. Su glanced at him and said calmly, "We are still washing the sweet potatoes."

Third uncle: "!!"

Has the world become like this?

The third uncle didn't say anything, and Mr. Su continued: "It's thanks to us that we slept late, otherwise that girl Xiaoqing would have been in the dark when she came back."

The third uncle was stunned, "Xiaoqing went to the county town again? Why did she come back at this hour? How dangerous it is to be in the dark. Tell her next time if she can't come back in time after dark, she will stay in the county for one night and come back the next day. Also, safety is the most important thing.”

Third uncle and the others have not been to the village during this time. Some time ago, they were busy harvesting crops every day. Then they planted sweet potatoes, paid taxes, pulled sweet potato vines, and now they are digging sweet potatoes. This work is done one after another, and they have no time to go. I'm here for a visit, so I really don't know what's going on at the old man's house recently.

"She is with someone. She went to the martial arts gym a few days ago and hired two guards. The man knows martial arts, so it's not a big deal."

Mr. Su spoke in an understatement, while the third uncle was stunned for a moment.

"Hire, hire a guard?" There was a bit of disbelief in his tone.

Seeing the old man nodding, he also nodded, "She is running around here and there, and there are people from all walks of life in the county. It's better to hire a guard, so you can rest assured."

Mr. Su threw another bomb lightly, "It's like this. She is opening a shop in the county with Saburo alone. They are both children. She is really worried if she doesn't hire two people to watch. I said let the second child follow. Go ahead, she said no, she’s busy at home and the shop is small so they can handle it.”

"Buy... a shop?" The third uncle was completely shocked.

"I bought it. Isn't it opening today? I came back and said there wasn't enough food. I have to send her out tomorrow morning. The firewood, vegetables, eggs, etc., all have to be brought from home. It's not like you don't know the prices in the county. .”

The two of them sat in the kitchen chatting, and the third uncle also lit a fire pit, and the orange firelight illuminated the dim kitchen.

"That's right, you have to come back and buy when you need to. The prices in the county are beyond the reach of ordinary people like us, but why didn't you tell us that you opened a store? I can ask her aunts to come over and help."

"Come on, every household is busy. We have to dig sweet potatoes and plant Xiaochun. We can't afford to delay. Besides, the shop is not big. Several of her uncles and aunts came to help today, so they didn't tell everyone."

Mr. Su really didn't know how big the shop was. He only heard Su Ziling say it was okay, not very big, so he really thought it was a small shop.

"By the way, I came here to ask if you still have red beans, peas, eggs and leeks at home? If you have any, sell them to me."

"The red beans weigh more than ten kilograms. I planted some peas last year. I don't know if the insects have burrowed into them. There should be a few eggs. I'm going to ask people to get up and take a look. I don't know where they put these things."

As the third uncle said this, he got up and went out to call for people. After a while, people in both rooms started to get up one after another.

As soon as they heard what he wanted, the two uncles quickly went to find it, while the daughters-in-law went to pick vegetables from the fields.

Fortunately, there is a small vegetable garden next to their house. Although it is not big, it is enough to grow some vegetables for their own food.

When the old man asked for them, they plucked them all, thinking that if they could sell some of them, they could just pluck them and plant them again.

Mr. Su had a great harvest. His two younger brothers alone harvested more than fifty kilograms of peas, fifteen kilograms of red beans, more than twenty eggs, and a basket full of green vegetables, cabbage, and leeks.

Seeing that he could not win by himself, the third uncle even called his two sons to send him back.

Watching the light of their retreating fire, both families fell asleep, and everyone sat around the firepit.

"Why are these peas so valuable? They cost three cents a pound. How about we grow more varieties this year? Since the yield of wheat is low and there are many diseases, it is not as good as growing more varieties and the yield will be higher. When the time comes, you will still have to pay the same tax when you sell them."

The third uncle was eager to give it a try, thinking about planting a few acres. Then the peas alone could be sold for several taels of silver. Wouldn't this be much more cost-effective than growing wheat?

The third uncle added two sticks of firewood to the fire pit, "I think it's okay, but I'd better wait until I ask my eldest brother tomorrow before deciding. It depends on how much their family can ask for. Don't worry about not being able to ask for so much by then. It will be a waste of time."

"Sure, if there are as many sweet potatoes as you want, then let's grow more!" said the fourth uncle.

"This girl opened the shop quietly without saying a word, so we can go help her out!" The fourth uncle thought for a while and then continued: "No, I'll catch a duck. Tomorrow Send it to them, let’s forget it if we don’t know, now that we know, it doesn’t make sense not to go and sit at home, right?”

"Come back!" The fourth uncle looked helpless as he looked at the situation. "There is no news in the village, which means they don't want to make it public. If you make such a fuss, everyone will know about it."

"Then just pretend you don't know anything?"

"Let's do this for now. Dig the sweet potatoes as soon as possible, so that we, father and son, can help in the workshop. If Xiaochun is concerned, you, mother and daughter, can just plant them slowly."

They have a large family, so if they concentrate on digging sweet potatoes, it will only take a few days. Then they can just wash them and send them over.

After digging the sweet potatoes, they can go to the workshop to make money, which costs about twenty cents a day. The father and son can earn about one, two, five cents a month. In total, it is much more cost-effective than going out to work for others. Mainly Yes, it's still close to home.

"Okay, let's do this for now. Let's all go back to the house and sleep. We'll get up early tomorrow to dig sweet potatoes."

After the third uncle spoke, everyone went back to the house one after another.
