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

Chen Feiyan has a big belly and feels that she has been out of energy recently.

Time flew by so fast that she still couldn't count how many months she was pregnant.

It was Chen Yixuan who remembered the date for her every day.

He said last night that she would give birth in about five months.

When Chen Feiyan thought that she still had five months to give birth to the child in her belly, she felt like every day was like a year.

It was not easy for women in ancient times to get pregnant and give birth.

Are there any contraceptive methods here?

The so-called fish soaked in sheep intestines has no effect at all. And it's extremely dirty.

Until now, Chen Feiyan does not like to live that kind of life with Chen Yixuan.

Chen Yixuan had no choice but to hold it in.

Every time he held it in, he would silently recite Mencius's article in his heart.

“When Heaven entrusts a person with a great responsibility, he must first strain his mind and will, strain his muscles and bones, starve his body and skin, deplete his body, and mess up his actions, so he can use his heart and forbearance to gain what he cannot do...”

Chen Yixuan feels that his life realm has been sublimated again.

Reading is not for beauty. Just so that my family can live a good life in the future.

In the middle of winter, Chen Yixuan was sitting on the kang, collecting thousand-layer-soled shoes for his daughter-in-law.

My daughter-in-law has been walking around the house every day since she was born. After persisting for so many years, her feet have grown and stretched.

Although she is still a little deformed, at least she doesn't have to be helped to walk like before.

Chen Yixuan is very strong. Use a needle and thread to sew the cloth ends layer by layer that have been pasted with glutinous rice.

After sewing until it is more than an inch high, the shoe clasp with a thousand layers of sole is finally ready.

After Chen Feiyan witnessed with her own eyes how a pair of ancient embroidered shoes with thousand-layer soles were born in the hands of a man, she felt more and more how difficult it was for the people at the bottom of ancient society.

Farmers in ancient times generally couldn't afford cloth shoes.

Cloth shoes require too much fabric and require too much needlework and thread. Most of them don't have the conditions to wear them.

Many people only wear a few pairs of straw sandals in their lifetime.

Chen Feiyan had seen with her own eyes the refugees who came to their village to beg. They looked really pitiful.

The clothes they were wearing didn't know how long they had been wearing, and they were all like tattered rags, hanging loosely on their bodies.

And the vast majority of refugees don’t have a pair of pants to wear.

Thinking of those people's legs, which were so thin that only the bones were visible, and the muscles in their thighs and calves were all gone, Chen Feiyan felt unbearable and couldn't help but let out a sigh.

Why are there so many people in this world living so hard and pitifully?

Chen Feiyan had seen with her own eyes the people who had no food to eat, no clothes to cover their bodies, and people who lived in poverty.

... Chen Yixuan, who was still trying to tie the soles of his embroidered shoes, heard his wife sigh again, so he thought she had something on her mind.

Suspecting that she was worried about the child in her belly, Chen Yixuan put down his work, raised his eyes, and looked at her seriously.

"Daughter-in-law, you don't have to worry too much when you have children in the future."

"Have you forgotten? I personally delivered the six children you gave birth to!"

Chen Feiyan was completely stunned.

"Huh? Dad, did you say you personally delivered the baby to me?"

Chen Yixuan nodded heavily.

"Yes, I have always helped you with your childbirth."

"That time when you gave birth to twins and had a difficult delivery, I personally helped you turn the babies in your belly, so you gave birth to the fifth child smoothly."

Chen Feiyan's scalp almost exploded when she thought about whether the man in front of her would deliver her baby in a few months.

Crazy!

It's really crazy.

Has he gained the experience of delivering babies in his own body? Chen Feiyan expressed doubts about his professionalism.

A few months later, Chen Feiyan was still very scared when it was up to her to give birth to a child.

She is afraid of death.

There is no one in this world who is not greedy for life and afraid of death.

"The baby's father, I will give birth to the baby in a few months, and I will rely on you."

Chen Yixuan nodded heavily.

He would never let anything happen to her.

"Daughter-in-law, don't worry. When you give birth, I will also invite all the famous midwives of our generation. If you don't like the midwives, then I will send you to the county town. Let Those famous old doctors will help you deliver the baby..."

The more Chen Feiyan heard him say this, the more unsure she became.

There are no professional doctors, nurses, medical equipment, or a sterile environment here. How can she feel at ease?

Worried too much, Chen Feiyan suddenly turned around again to cheer herself up.

It seems that many pregnant women do not have caesarean sections after arriving at the hospital.

They gave birth naturally, stayed up for a while, and then gave birth to the baby.

If they can do it, I should be able to do it too.

Seeing that she didn't seem so scared anymore, Chen Yixuan changed the topic and diverted her attention.

"Daughter-in-law, I'd better not make you a pair of embroidered shoes. I'll make you a pair of deep boots, right?"

Chen Feiyan smiled and nodded: "Okay, you can help me make boots!"

Speaking of shoes, Chen Feiyan disliked the backward productivity of ancient times.

In ancient times, making a pair of shoes was not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also very durable.

Even shoes with mille-layer soles are not wear-resistant. After two or three months of wearing them, the mille-layer bottoms will be worn out.

"Daddy, do you think the shoes I'm wearing would be more durable if I put some pigskin on them?"

Chen Yixuan shook his head: "This... I don't know!"

"I have never worn pigskin shoes, and I have never seen anyone wearing pigskin shoes."

"Wearing such shoes is too luxurious. There are very few people in the county who can afford pigskin shoes and cowhide boots. Only the rich and powerful landowners and the county magistrate can afford them. .”

"Poor people like us, many people only have one pair of shoes to wear in their entire lives. The uppers are sewn and patched, and all they wear is pudding."

"A few years ago, my grandfather's shoes couldn't fit anymore, so he gave them to my dad to wear. My dad couldn't fit them anymore, so he gave them to me."

Chen Feiyan was completely speechless at this extremely low-end quality of life.

After she arrived in this ancient time, she felt that people really lived just to live.

Living is just to have a house to live in, clothes to protect the body, and food to fill the stomach.

Chen Feiyan heard her husband tell a joke in the village a few days ago.

It is said that there is a very poor family in the village.

The oldest person in that poor family was fifty years old.

His hair was gray and his face was wrinkled. He was about to starve to death half a month ago, so he told his sons that he hoped they would go to the toilet and find him a piece of clean dry shit for him to eat.

He had enough to eat before he could go on the road.

His sons also had one meal every three days and one meal every two days, and they were so hungry that they looked like adults.

Now that their father has made a request before his death, they have to satisfy it no matter what. So, they went to someone else's toilet in the middle of the night, intending to steal two kilograms of feces and eat it. Later, they were caught by the owner of the house.

When the owner saw his family like this, he took a pound of sorghum to help them.

When Chen Feiyan heard this story, she felt quite disgusted.

But after the nausea was over, she suddenly felt an inexplicable sadness again.
