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

Wang Yingying heard Chen Feiyan talking about her eldest daughter-in-law, and she nodded accordingly.

"Brothers and sisters, your eldest daughter-in-law is quite capable. She is also honest, hard-working and sensible. When she sees us working, she comes to work too. She is never lazy."

Chen Feiyan smiled: "Sister-in-law, how can farmers like us have time to be lazy? It's a great thing to be able to lie on the bed and rest after eating."

The two were talking and laughing. Seeing that it was getting late, they went back to their respective houses.

Lying on the warm kang, Chen Yixuan was eating the sorghum cake with lard residue handed over by Chen Feiyan and talking in a low voice.

"Daughter-in-law, how are you? Did you ask anything?"

Chen Feiyan smiled: "Sister-in-law is quite open-minded. She said that marrying a yellow girl to her son is not worthwhile and she spends too much money. She wants to find a widow for her son who has been married to someone else."

Chen Yixuan nodded when he heard this. "Isn't this nice?"

"Our family can't afford the money to marry their son to a young girl. You may not be able to marry a young girl from other families for even six taels of silver! No matter how much our family saves money, we can't save it for her son. That number!”

Chen Feiyan smiled: "She actually understands in her heart!"

"I estimate that you will be taking the imperial examination in the spring of this year. If you win, and I earn some money from growing some mushrooms, your brother and sister-in-law will definitely tell us to give it to their son by then. Asking for a wife. By then, our family will be blessed with double happiness!"

Chen Yixuan raised his hand and touched her shoulder and back.

"What is called double happiness, it should be triple happiness. If you grow mushrooms and make money, that is also a great joy!"

When talking about making money, Chen Yixuan asked with concern: "Daughter-in-law, will it be very tiring for our family to grow mushrooms?"

Chen Feiyan shook her head: "It's not tiring."

"I'm not tired of raising pigs yet!"

Chen Yixuan was relieved.

Time flies by so fast, and in a blink of an eye, it’s the first day of the new year.

After the first day of the Lunar New Year, there is the second day of the Lunar New Year, and then the third day of the Lunar New Year.

Starting from the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, all the villagers in Chenjia Village became active.

They all began to carry the New Year's goods that had been prepared long ago to pay New Year's greetings to their relatives and friends.

Chen Yixuan's family conditions are acceptable this year.

He took his daughter-in-law and his three particularly strong and strong sons to his daughter-in-law's parents' home to pay New Year's greetings to Chen Feiyan's parents, brothers and sister-in-law.

When Chen Feiyan's family saw Chen Yixuan bringing a pound of meat, a small jar of oil, and some fragrant-smelling sorghum cakes, they welcomed them in enthusiastically.

"Son-in-law, you just came. Why did you bring so many things?"

Chen Yixuan smiled: "This is the New Year, if I don't bring these things to the door and let others see it, wouldn't it be a joke for no reason?"

"Mom, dad, brother and sister-in-law, these things are all trivial. They are all our thoughts as children. It's long past time to honor our parents."

……

Chen Yixuan, his wife and son stayed at her parents' house for one night. Early the next morning, they went back.

On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Chen Yixuan took his sons to the county seat to pay New Year greetings to his aunt and brother Zhang Jiqing.

Zhang Jiqing knew his plan. He immediately welcomed him warmly.

"Brother, I have already agreed for you. I just wait until the New Year is over. On the first day of March, you will come with me to visit Qu Xiucai in our county!"

"This old gentleman is already sixty-eight years old. He knows everything about classics and history. It's just that he is old and has low energy, so it is inconvenient for him to take his children to study."

"On weekdays, he makes a living by writing literary works for people. The whole family of more than 20 people is counting on him. I told him about your situation, and he said that he can be your teacher for a period of time, or you can do it for you. Guaranteed. However, if you are admitted as a scholar, when the time comes, he will tell others that you were taught by him..."

Chen Yixuan smiled after hearing this and said, "That's not a problem. Brother, just asking him to guarantee these would probably cost a lot of money, right?"

Zhang Jiqing smiled and said: "Brother~, the bustle in the world is all for profit, and the hustle and bustle in the world is for profit. Who among the people in this world, including you and me, would not seek profit?"

"Mr. Qu is over sixty years old. A few years ago, a concubine in his family gave birth to a son. Therefore, his family's expenses are getting bigger year by year."

"I asked him for help, but he didn't say anything. He just took out three fingers and asked me to bring out three taels of silver. I gave it to him."

"Brother, if you become a scholar in one fell swoop, the three taels of silver I paid will be well spent!"

When Chen Yixuan heard this, he bowed deeply to him.

"Brother, you treat me like this, I dare not let you down!"

After Zhang Jiqing helped him up, he suddenly sighed: "Brother, for low-level scholars like us, becoming a scholar is only the first step in life."

"If you can't pass the Jinshi or Juren exams, your lifetime achievements will come to an end."

Zhang Jiqing, as the child of a small official in a remote place, had a lofty ambition since he was a child.

While he has lofty ambitions, he also realizes that it is difficult to survive alone. The power of one person is still quite small.

He had to bring together scholars who were of the same blood, origin, and branch, or even from the same hometown and county, and go into the prosperous place in the capital, so that they could have a chance to speak.

Chen Yixuan didn't know what he was thinking, but he understood that there is no such thing as losing a pie for no reason in the world. Everything comes at a price.

This price may be explicit or implicit, sooner or later.

Chen Yixuan feels that now he can only do his best and study hard.

After returning home, Chen Yixuan held the book again, reading, memorizing, memorizing and writing like crazy.

Chen Feiyan was completely surprised when she saw him reading like he was working hard after he came back from the county town.

"Daddy, let's eat a sorghum cake fried in lard! By the way, I also made you a big bowl of cabbage and sorghum rice. Eat it quickly!"

In order to read more, Chen Yixuan ate all the food brought to him by Chen Feiyan within a few minutes.

After eating, he began to review his homework with his head shaking.

Zhang Jiqing gave him some pen, ink and paper. Some of them are still scraps of paper that Zhang Jiqing himself practiced but did not throw away.

Chen Yixuan took a pen and copied the meaning of the scriptures in particularly regular regular script.

There are two policy questions in the scholar examination.

According to my wife, it is a big essay topic.

This large composition can reflect a person's experience and knowledge, as well as the depth and breadth of considering issues. Must work hard.
