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

After squeezing out three pots of sugarcane juice, Grandpa Su and his team stopped squeezing and continued to boil sugar while others fed the cows and pigs.

The yard must also be cleaned, and the stone mill must be cleaned if it is not used for squeezing today. Otherwise, it will be sticky when you use it tomorrow because of the sugar and ash on it that cannot be washed off.

Wash it after one use and cover it with a dustpan. When you use it again tomorrow, just rinse it briefly.

Seeing that Su Ziling had been sitting on the small stool, Su A-nai dragged a high chair over, fearing that she might feel uncomfortable, and said, "You sit here, I'll light the fire."

Su Ziling didn't try to be brave, so he simply got up and went into the house to get two potatoes and sweet potatoes, "Grandma, roast them for me."

"It's time to eat soon. How can you eat after eating this?" She said this, but she still took the potatoes and sweet potatoes and put them next to her to slowly roast them.

"You can roast the potatoes, add some seasonings and pound them to cook. Bury the sweet potatoes in the ashes, and I can come and get them when I'm hungry in the middle of the night."

The ashes in the stove hole will always be warm and will remain warm even in the middle of the night. Burying sweet potatoes in it can keep them warm without burning them.

Seeing that the sugar was not boiling out, Grandma Su called to Su's mother in the kitchen, "Second brother, it will take a while for the sugar to boil out. Why don't we cook the gong pot rice today? We don't know how long we will have to wait for the big pot."

"Okay, I thought so too. We have just started to boil it. I estimate it will take another hour. I will take out the big gong pot and wait until the sugar is cooked so that we can have dinner."

Su's mother responded, added a few pieces of firewood into the stove, and took the hanging gong pot down from the beam.

After washing it, he scooped out four bowls of rice, added water and put them on the fire to cook.

Thinking that the New Year pig would be slaughtered soon, there were still a few bowls of pickled pork ribs, so I ate them quickly so that I could wash the jars and make new ones.

Thinking of this, I took a bowl and scooped out a bowl of pickled pork ribs, put it in the gong pot to cook, and when the rice is cooked, the pickled pork ribs will be cooked as well.

"Cooking gongguo rice?" Su Ziling smacked his lips. "Then I'll go to the backyard and pick some peas. Gongguo rice tastes better when cooked with peas. I'll cut some soy sauce meat and put it on the rice. The rice will have an oily aroma, and the rice crust will be more yellow and fragrant."

Having said this, she became so greedy that she could not sit still for a moment and got up to pick peas.

Normally, peas should bloom in this season, but theirs was planted in advance and they scattered a patch of peas in the garden at the back, thinking that they could eat the peas in advance.

"Don't go. Let's skate at the back. Let your grandpa go. He's free." Grandma Su quickly stopped her.

Su's father and Su Zizhong went to feed the pigs. Grandpa Su was responsible for feeding the cows and throwing some grass to them. Even Twenty was not idle as he was in charge of the chickens, ducks and rabbits.

Grandpa Su had just finished feeding the cows and was washing his hands. When he heard what Grandma Su said, he took a basket and said, "I'll go pick them. You just sit still."

A moment later, Grandpa Su came out carrying a half basket of peas. "It's probably because there was enough water later. The peas are growing well. The leeks are also growing well. I cut a handful and will fry some eggs later. I also picked a handful of gray vegetables and blanched them in water to make a cold dish."

The old man came out carrying a basket, muttering to himself as he walked.

Grandma Su laughed so hard, "Look at your grandpa, he's just like the wife in the tavern (you agree that Tang Seng is mumbling), mumbling to himself."

Su Ziling stretched his neck to look over there, "Are there any gray vegetables? We can use them to make a cold dish. The gray vegetables these days are the most delicious. I haven't eaten them this year."

Since she became pregnant, she basically stopped going into the mountains and working in the fields. She just stayed around the house, visited the workshops, or went around visiting friends in the village.

Grandpa Su and his family were busy harvesting and planting, so they had no time to look for the gray-gray vegetables. But before it was mentioned, I didn't notice it, but as soon as I heard about it, I became particularly greedy.

"Do you want to eat? I'll find it for you tomorrow morning." Lu Yan said as he stirred.

Su Ziling glanced at Grandma Su secretly and said, "I'd rather find it myself."

"Then don't even think about it," Lu Yan refused without even thinking, "Can you take a look at it?"

Su Ziling stood up and took a look. "It's still early. Keep stirring. But grandma, turn down the heat a little."

As he was talking, Grandpa Su picked up a basket and took out a bowl. "Hurry up and peel them. I can hear the gong pot boiling."

The peas are plump, each with three or four seeds, and they are not yet ripe. They taste sweet and refreshing.

After adding the peas, Su's mother cut some soy sauce meat and put it on the rice. While putting the meat in, she told Wang Anan that she should make more soy sauce meat this year.

Because Su Ziling likes it. They prefer bacon, but Su Ziling doesn't like bacon. He basically eats more soy sauce meat.

The rice was ready but the sugar was not yet cooked. There was no choice but for Su's mother to move the rice to the side to keep it warm. When it started to become sandy, she would take out the wok and start cooking. When the sugar was ready, it was time for dinner.

After the three pots of sugar were boiled, it was already dark. Everyone was very tired. They were busy sweating in the middle of winter. But when they thought about the price of sugar, they felt that it was all worth it.

Before eating, Su Ziling took a look at the first pot of sugar. It had completely solidified, had a slightly sandy texture, and was very sweet, but the color was a little darker.

She took out a few pieces, made a pot of sugar water, and poured a cup for each person, "Come, everyone, try this new candy."

"Yeah, I feel a fragrance, the fragrance of sugarcane. The fragrance of the sugarcane I bought doesn't seem to be so strong. It's quite sweet."

Father Su scratched his head and said, "I also think it tastes better than the ones sold at the store. I just secretly broke off a small piece. Hehe, it's sweet!"

Su Ziling raised his eyebrows slightly, and was very happy. "I was wondering why there was a hole in that piece. It seems you broke it."

"I couldn't help it and tried a piece."

Seeing that the food was already on the table, Grandma Su called out to them, "Eat, the days are shorter in winter, and it gets dark when the sun goes down. The nights are cold, and the food gets colder faster than in the summer. If you don't eat now, the oil will freeze."

"Eat, eat," Father Su took everyone's empty cups, "Get up early tomorrow to squeeze sugarcane juice and boil sugarcane. You can't boil many pots in a day. Don't let this pile last until the New Year."

Su Ziling thought for a while and said, "I'll send some candies to my uncle's family later. I'll tell them that sugarcane juice can be squeezed quickly, but there aren't enough pots to keep it going."

"Okay, I'll go later." When Su's father heard that he was going to visit someone, he became enthusiastic.

I'm so busy every day that I don't even have time to visit and chat with my brothers and uncles.

"If we really can't handle it, why don't we hire a few people?" Thinking about these ten tons of sugarcane, it would be exhausting for our family members alone.

"No, no, how can we hire people like this?" Father Su was the first to refuse.

Then it was Old Man Su who said, "I also think we should just squeeze it slowly ourselves. There's no need to hire anyone. Anyway, there's not much work in the fields right now. Your eldest brother can go with you over the valley, or even Twenty can follow. With your Aunt Ji watching over it, things won't get out of hand."

Grandma Su nodded in agreement, "We can't hire someone to make the candy. What if someone learns the recipe and uses it?"

"Okay, then I won't invite you for now. I just think it will take a month or so to make sugar from all this sugarcane. I'm mainly worried that you guys won't be able to endure it."

After thinking for a while, she added, "If we don't hire them this year, we will have to hire them next year. By then, we will probably have to build a sugar mill. Otherwise, we won't be able to harvest all the sugarcane on these ten acres of land even if we die of exhaustion."

Mr. Su paused and said, "We can let others do the juice making, but we have to do the sugar making ourselves, otherwise outsiders won't trust us."

The family was talking as they ate their meal. The fire in the fire pit was swaying left and right in the breeze, and the oil lamp on the table was emitting an orange glow.
