How to survive in poverty: I use a simulator to farm
Chapter 177 Building a High River Embankment
As long as Chen Yixuan thinks it is reasonable and forward-looking, he will listen to whatever Chen Feiyan has planned.
Moreover, he is a very decisive man and has very strong mobility. Faintly feeling that there had been too much rain this year and something was wrong, he urged the men at home to wear raincoats and go to the mountains early the next morning.
There is a place a few kilometers away from home, where all the rocks are washed away by the flood.
As long as they carry those stones back to their house piece by piece, and then build a diversion stone wall that can separate the flood, their yard can be saved even if the flood comes from the mountain or rises from below.
Knowing that there was no time to lose, Chen Yixuan and the men in his family worked very hard from this day on.
The village chief Chen Qiliang is an old and cunning person. He has lived to this age and he understands these things very well.
It felt like the weather this year was really light, and the amount of rain was still a bit more than in previous years. Worried about rising floods, he summoned all the laborers in the village.
"We need to strengthen the river embankment! And we have to send several teams every day to strengthen patrols, especially along the river embankment! We must be careful not to let the river embankment collapse!"
"Now the construction of river embankments is related to the life and death of our entire village! One day we delay will be in danger!"
Some villagers in the village heard this and started yelling when they thought that their fields had not been cultivated yet.
"Village Chief, our fields haven't been plowed yet, and now we only have a few laborers! If they are all sent to build river embankments, what will happen to our fields? In the coming year, our family will have no food to eat. of……"
When Chen Qiliang heard this, he subconsciously glared at the other person. He felt that this kind of person was really short-sighted and could only see things at one level.
"If there is a flood here, even if you finish planting, the little you have will be swallowed up by the water! By the end of summer and early autumn, you will still have no harvest!"
"You guys can't let the small lose the big. Hurry up and follow me from tomorrow to build the river embankment here..."
……
There were arrangements in the village, so Chen Yixuan could only bring the men in his family to work with everyone.
However, he still did not give up on his wife's plan.
His family now only sleeps an average of three or four hours a day.
In the middle of the night, he would sometimes take his family with him to take advantage of the bright moonlight to go to the Stone Mountain a few kilometers away, and roll back the big solid stones bit by bit using rolling logs.
Doing this kind of work requires skill, endurance, and time.
It took all the men in Chen Yixuan's family more than half a month to do this quietly.
Now the labor intensity is really too high. Even if Chen Feiyan tries her best to make food for them every day, they still lose weight quickly.
Today's Chen Feiyan has already let go of her foot.
But it's still the same as before, the little feet are a little deformed.
However, when she walked, at least it didn't hurt so much.
The weather this year is particularly weird.
It started to rain heavily again outside.
Seeing the raindrops the size of soybeans crackling and exploding like an iron pan, Chen Yixuan, Chen Feiyan and others kept feeling worried.
Sure enough, the original wishes of ancient people were so simple and simple. They look forward to the realization of the words "good weather" every year.
However, the words "good weather and good weather" may seem simple, but in practice it is not easy at all.
Even in the Qing Dynasty, the last feudal dynasty in ancient China, and its most prosperous period...the Kangxi and Qianlong periods, things were not smooth every year. Almost every year, different situations occur across the country.
There will always be floods in some places. For example, where the Yellow River overflows.
There are always droughts in some places. And some places experienced earthquakes and hail. There are also places where miasma and plague always appear.
The living standards of ordinary people have always been in an extremely low state.
Many poor families only wish to eat an extra pound of meat during the Chinese New Year.
After Chen Feiyan came to this world, she was always worried. She was worried that her whole family would not be able to eat the next meal, and would not be able to eat tomorrow after eating today.
Rainy days are very humid.
If the door is often opened at home, the damp moisture from outside will rush into the house.
As a result, green mold began to appear all over the house, inside and outside.
Chen Feiyan had no choice but to close the doors and windows tightly whenever it rained. Then the kang burning began.
After heating the house and making it drier, she took the men at home to shovel out all the green mold visible to the naked eye from all over the house, and then threw it out.
She had heard her cousin, an otolaryngology doctor, say before that it would be very dangerous for a person to sleep in a moldy room for a long time.
Once mold enters a person's respiratory system, it will slowly affect the person's immunity.
In a sense, long-term exposure to mold will greatly increase the likelihood of victims suffering from nasopharyngeal cancer, lung cancer, intestinal cancer, bronchitis, skin diseases, and allergies.
Chen Feiyan didn't care what data her cousin was basing her statement on. Adhering to the principle of trusting it, she had it, and not trusting it, she had eradicated all the things in her home that were likely to affect the health of the whole family.
After shoveling it away, she continued to burn the wall bit by bit with a torch every day.
Regarding this, Chen Yixing and Wang Yingying felt that her behavior was still a bit incomprehensible.
Isn't it a waste of energy to do this kind of thing?
My sister-in-law has been saying recently that mold will spread in some buns...
They don't understand, how does mold grow buns?
Moreover, my sister-in-law also said that if mold is inhaled into the nose and lungs for a long time, it can cause cancer and make people sick...
They thought she was making a fuss out of a molehill.
As long as it rains for a long time here, the places where ordinary people live will have water inside and outside their houses.
Everything on the walls, under the eaves, the clothes you wear, the quilts you cover, the bowls you eat from, and the chopsticks, etc., are all unlucky.
In some places, not only mold grows, but also mushrooms and moss grow.
Common people like them have long been accustomed to living like this over the years.
I didn’t expect that my sister-in-law would become so particular this year.
Chen Feiyan no matter how her elder brother and sister-in-law complained about her, she just couldn't bear the slightest trace of mold in her home.
As soon as the sun comes out outside, she will immediately open the door to ventilate the room.
All the quilts, clothes, etc. in my house will be dried in the hot sun.
