How to survive in poverty: I use a simulator to farm

It can be regarded as a coincidence. People in Chenjia Village did not get together for a meal or anything because of the funeral. Otherwise, any infectious disease will severely infect a large number of people.

Later, after seventeen or eight more people died in Chenjiacun, the number of people who died of illness became less frequent.

When Chen Qiliang saw it, he quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as people are not dying so frequently, it means things are getting better.

This shows that this plague is not serious.

……

Things were just as Chen Qiliang expected.

After so many people died of the disease in one go, fewer and fewer people died of the disease later. Moreover, those who survived seemed to have made it through, and their conditions improved.

No one has diarrhea anymore.

Patients lying in bed can eat porridge and drink water.

Soon, they began to leave the house and continue doing the seemingly endless farm work.

Time flies by so fast and it’s already July.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, with daily high temperatures reaching almost forty degrees. The land in many places was chapped by the sun.

Chen Feiyan was standing under the eaves, not daring to go outside.

The sun is too strong, and it can burn out the skin on a person's body if he is not careful.

When Chen Feiyan saw Chen Yixuan coming back panting and sweating with a bamboo hat, she quickly brought him a bowl of cold water with salt.

"Master, how is the situation in our fields? Are the sorghums still alive?"

Chen Yixuan smiled, nodded and said: "Daughter-in-law, the sorghums in our fields are still alive. Even though the weather is so hot, they are growing well."

"If nothing else happens, I think we might be able to have a good year this year."

When Chen Feiyan heard the news, her eyes widened in surprise.

"We came back late this year. We didn't get home until early May, and we missed the good time to plant wheat. It was then that I suggested to you that we plant sorghum in all our fields this year. We only started planting sorghum in early May. , and then there were heavy rains, and then there was this scorching heat. I thought our sorghum would not be able to survive..."

Chen Yixuan smiled: "Daughter-in-law, isn't it thanks to you that this happened?"

"The year before last, I saw you starting to sort out sorghum seeds. Among so many sorghums, you sorted out the ones with full fruits and no pests and diseases in batches. Later, you also named those sorghums. What kind of sorghum are they called? 1 No., Sorghum No. 2..."

"I think after you selected and cultivated those sorghums like this, the sorghums grown will definitely be more than in previous years. Even if the environment is like this this year..."

Chen Feiyan felt a little embarrassed when he encouraged her like this.

She felt that she had not done enough.

She is not an agricultural university that specializes in cultivating good seeds.

If she were a professional in this field, she would have cultivated super hybrid sorghum long ago. By then, the yield per acre will be 1,000 kilograms, and... his family will no longer have to worry about being hungry.

Farmers in ancient times had a hard life, and one of the reasons was low productivity.

Only 150 kilograms to 200 kilograms of grain can be harvested from one acre of land...The yield per mu is too low!

And this is the yield of a medium-sized field.

If it is a lower-grade field, the yield per mu will be even less.

……

At Chen Feiyan's urging, Chen Yixuan would take his children to visit the crop fields every day.

Then that night, after he delivered a batch of mountain products to Wuwei Restaurant in the county town, he took his sons and came back with their backpacks full.

After returning home, he took out the things he bought today bit by bit. "Daughter-in-law, here are twenty goslings, ten ducks, and ten chicks."

"Our eldest son is carrying a little sow in a basket on his back, and our second son is also carrying a little sow on his back. As for the third son, he is carrying a little yellow dog on his back."

Seeing that Chen Yixuan bought so many things today, Chen Yixing asked: "Brother~, these things cost a lot of money, right?"

Chen Yixuan smiled good-naturedly, "Brother~, it's not like you don't know my wife's abilities?"

"A 10-pound piglet in her hands can grow into a 200-pound pig within a year."

"If a chicken, duck or goose weighing less than a kilogram is in her hands, she can turn into endless chicken, duck and goose eggs within two years."

When Chen Yixing heard what he said, he immediately began to recall the taste of eating meat and eggs.

He hasn't eaten meat for almost a month, and he really wants to eat meat now.

Chen Yixing also understood the abilities of his sister-in-law, and he added: "Brother~, our sister-in-law is indeed capable. You finally went to the county town, why don't you buy more?"

Chen Yixuan was speechless. "Brother~, our wife said that raising so many is enough. If we raise too many, our family will definitely be worried."

"Furthermore, my wife also said that our family will raise pigs this year. One pig will be sold and the other will be kept for our family to eat. As for the forty chickens, ducks and goose seedlings I bought, we will keep them first. We won’t kill them at the end of this year, they will be raised until next year or even the year after that.”

Knowing that they had a plan to live their lives, Chen Yixing was immediately filled with hope.

Okay, okay, my brother and sister-in-law are people who know how to live a good life, so you are right to listen to them.

……

the weather is too hot. Worried about overheating the chickens, ducks, geese, and seedlings at home, Chen Feiyan also placed several pots of cold water at home.

Then, from this day on, she fed them with cooked refined food.

Chen Feiyan’s breeding method is appropriate. In less than half a month, these 40 chickens, ducks and geese have all grown up. He looks stronger than before.

And the little yellow dog raised at home is very smart.

It eats whatever people eat.

When he saw people eating Japanese melon, he also ate raw Japanese melon.

Moreover, he especially likes to eat fish.

By early August, the sorghum in many sorghum fields was completely ripe.

The sorghum field is bright red and the color is particularly festive.

Knowing that the harvest was about to be good, Chen Feiyan took some money and asked Chen Yixuan to go to the county town to deliver some home-made grilled dried fish and dozens of kilograms of pickled vegetables, and buy a few kilograms of pork on the way.

The men in the family are going to harvest food, and they need to eat something good.

After a few months, he finally had meat to eat. Chen Yixing, who thought about meat every day, had strange insomnia tonight.

Wang Yingying saw that he was still greedy for meat at such an old age, and he was so greedy that he couldn't sleep at night. She couldn't help it, and started to laugh at him in front of her son at night.

"Master, you said you are so old, why are you still as greedy as a child?"

Chen Yixing was laughed at, but he was not angry. Instead, he suddenly talked about something he had heard recently in the village.

"Daughter-in-law, you are so blessed that you don't know how blessed you are. You don't know how miserable some poor families in our village are living..."

When Wang Yingying heard this, she felt unhappy.

She curled her lips and asked, "With the life we ​​live like this, do you still think it's a blessing?"
