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

Chen Yixuan noticed that Chen Feiyan was sitting aside, knitting straw sandals, and occasionally stopped for a moment.

Chen Yixuan asked curiously: "Daughter-in-law, what are you thinking about?"

When Chen Feiyan heard this, she raised her head, looked at him and said, "My father, I was thinking about the story you told me a few days ago."

"You told me that there was a family in the village. The poor people in his family wanted to steal other people's shit and eat it. ...Do you remember that?"

Chen Yixuan nodded and smiled: "Of course I remember!"

"I heard this from others too."

"Those young people in the village are talking like crazy now. They say that man's sons are unfilial, incompetent, and live a useless life."

Chen Feiyan shook her head speechlessly: "I feel like we can't blame them for this."

"You are like our family. There are so many people working all year round. They get up before dawn in the morning, cook, and do farm work. They work until late at night. Until we can't see you."

"Even on New Year's Eve and the first day of the Lunar New Year, our family is still working. Weaving straw shoes, making soles, and weaving coir rain curtains. I feel that we are already diligent enough. However, we are so diligent, It's just a hand-to-mouth existence. When it comes to quality of life, it's totally undeserved."

When Chen Yixuan heard his wife talk about the quality of life, he was deeply touched.

He also wants to have a high quality of life for his family.

However, my wife has said before that if you don’t have money, you can only make do with it, but if you have money, you can be particular.

I have a house to live in and clothes to wear. On a snowy day, there is no need to step barefoot on the snow. The family can hide in a warm house, sleep on a warm kang, be reunited, talk and laugh, and stay healthy in the cold winter months.

He was already very content in his heart.

At this moment, he seemed unable to guess what his wife meant.

Chen Feiyan looked at Chen Yixuan in front of her.

She found that this man was clearly under thirty years old, but his face was extremely dark. His facial features were obviously handsome, but they had been ripened and aged by years of wind, frost, rain and snow. At first glance he looked like a man in his forties.

She felt sorry for him.

Sure enough, a hard and difficult life will leave deep marks on people.

It's so annoying.

"My father, no matter what, I still want to improve the quality of life of my family."

Chen Yixuan looked at her in surprise: "How do you want to mention it?"

Chen Feiyan said: "First of all, our family should make more money!"

"This year, when spring comes to our house, we will open more than ten acres of land next to the river beach. All of it will be planted with hemp!"

"When the hemp can be harvested in July, we can weave a few more pieces of cloth. We can sell them in the county town and exchange them for one or two fur coats."

Winter in the north is extremely cold.

Even though the kang was burned at home and the family was lying on the kang, covered with linen quilts filled with chicken, duck and goose feathers, she still felt cold.

Chen Feiyan conservatively estimated that the coldest time in winter in Chenjia Village where she is now should be minus 40 degrees Celsius.

It was so cold, she could feel the deep chill every time she breathed.

When Chen Yixuan saw her talking about making money, he also talked about it.

"Then next spring, I'll find a landlord to rent a few more acres of land?"

"We already have a donkey at home, we can use it to grow more crops!"

Chen Feiyan smiled when she heard this: "That's how it should be!"

"Next year, the pigs we raise will be almost two years old. Once the boar and the sow are mated, a sow can give birth to more than a dozen piglets. By that time, our family will be able to hold the piglets Sold it in the county seat." "The restaurants in the county seat should accept suckling pigs, right? After all, roasted suckling pig is a famous dish..."

Speaking of these things, Chen Yixuan and Chen Feiyan are full of hope for the future.

The family members listen to these things with great interest.

Chen Feiyan was very happy to see them, and she added: "After spring next year, we will plant more soybeans!"

"Grow some mung beans by the way."

"We also grow more than ten acres of wheat and other things. Sorghum is actually delicious. We also grow some at home..."

Chen Yixuan didn't feel annoyed at all when he heard his wife's nagging here. Instead, he felt that his life was particularly fulfilling. In his eyes, this is a kind of happiness.

He listened carefully and nodded from time to time. Sometimes he even opens his mouth and echoes a few times.

The second daughter-in-law sitting aside heard the various cakes that Chen Feiyan drew for herself. After hearing this, she was also elated and full of hope.

Aunt Sun has been happy every day since this time.

She always felt in her heart that she was lucky to be able to marry into this family.

In Lao Chen's house, she lived a very good life.

It was much better than her previous stay at her ex-husband's house and her parents' house.

In her natal family and her ex-husband's house, she could not eat three meals a day. She used to eat at most two meals a day, sometimes one meal a day.

If there was no good weather, she would have one meal every two days.

Then here, she eats three meals a day.

The mother-in-law at home is in charge.

My mother-in-law is a very generous person, and she is very willing to give up oil and rice when cooking.

Moreover, she lived her life very carefully. Wash your hands before eating and after using the toilet.

Thinking of her mother-in-law saying that so much land would be planted next spring, Aunt Sun suddenly interrupted.

"Mother-in-law, I suddenly remembered something."

"My father and my brothers have been helping the Chen family carry bags and unload goods at the dock. They got a batch of cotton seeds some time ago. I have always hidden them in other places. Mother-in-law, do you want these cotton seeds?"

Chen Feiyan's eyes lit up when she heard that there was such a good thing, and she said excitedly.

"I want it! I want it!"

"Can these cotton seeds be planted in the ground?"

"I didn't expect we would have cotton here, right?"

"If we plant seven or eight acres of cotton in our land, we will be better able to spin and weave cloth in the future. By then, our family will wear cotton clothes and we will no longer have to wear this kind of linen cloth."

Chen Yixuan laughed when he heard this.

"Daughter-in-law, don't get too excited. You should think more about the child in your belly."

"I have to ask others about growing cotton. I don't know if we can grow cotton here. I have to ask our village chief to find out..."

When Chen Feiyan heard this, she interrupted him directly: "Master, we can definitely grow cotton here, but most people think that growing cotton is not as practical as growing food, so they don't want to grow it..."

"When the time comes, you must ask the village chief to ask more about the precautions for growing cotton. When our family grows seven or eight acres of cotton, our family will be able to make a small fortune... …”
