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

As soon as the weather cleared up and the heavy snow stopped, Chen Feiyan couldn't wait to urge her husband to go to the county seat.

The family made a lot of things throughout the winter, and they had to be sold in the county town.

As for the iron pot, Chen Feiyan said that she could buy it this time or not, depending on the specific situation.

If there is a second-hand sale in the county, it is the same as buying a pot that has been used by others.

Chen Yixuan and his sons drove the donkey cart and walked happily to the county town.

After not traveling far for several months, Chen Yixuan felt enlightened.

As for the second son's wife, she is sitting on the donkey cart.

She told Chen Feiyan that she had to go back to her parents' home today. She hadn't seen her parents for a long time and she missed them.

Chen Yixuan felt sorry for his donkeys. Except for putting the straw sandals and coir raincoats he was going to sell today on the donkey cart, he and his sons walked on two legs.

While walking on the road, he observed carefully, what changes happened in the mountains?
It snowed really hard this year, and many trees in the mountains had their backs broken due to the heavy snow.

The snow was so heavy that the animals that grazed on the mountains would run into the village from time to time, trying to hide from the heavy snow and ask for some food from humans.

The group remained silent for more than an hour, and finally arrived at the county seat before noon.

The county wall is still quite high.

After entering, there were people coming and going inside, and it was lively.

Everything in the city is better than in the countryside.

Rich people gather in the city. All kinds of business people, whether they are doing big business or small business, they can make a living. The living conditions are still much better than those of farmers in the countryside.

Farmers in the countryside suffer the most. It doesn’t cost much all year round.

They have no money to spend, they don’t dare to spend it, and they are even more reluctant to spend it.

Chen Yixuan took his sons and the donkey, and first sent his second daughter-in-law, Aunt Sun, back to her natal home.

The place where Aunt Sun lives is also a famous slum in the county.

Just in the southeast corner of the county.

This place is called Midtown.

Most of the poor people inside are former farmers.

They are the kind of farmers who have lost their fields and land, and their clan can't help much, so they can only go to the city to find work.

Many of these people have been here for two or three generations.

Some have been breeding here for four or five generations.

Due to the solidification of class, they have taken root here for generations, working at the dock outside the city, handling and unloading goods.

The architecture here is also quite peculiar.

Most houses are made of wooden boards. The short first floor is only over two meters high.

When you open the wooden doors of these ghettos, you can see the beds inside.

Their beds usually have three levels.

It's like an interior building. There is a straw bunk on each floor of bed, and every night three or five children sleep together.

People in slums, in order to increase their chances of survival, usually try their best to have children, and only sons. Unless the first child gives birth to a daughter.

Their parents and elders have already thought about it. If they give birth to a daughter for the first time, they can let the daughter help take care of the younger brothers.

After Aunt Sun got off the donkey cart, she noticed the envious looks from the familiar neighbors on the street where her home was located.

Aunt Su understood that these neighbors envied her for being able to find a good family after getting married.

She felt faintly proud at this time.

She thought to herself, why are these neighbors short-sighted? They don't even want to raise their oldest daughter. Every time they gave birth to a daughter, they would kill her. When their sons grew up, they could not exchange daughters for their sons.

None of their families had a daughter, so they naturally took advantage of him as a married woman.

Aunt Sun carried the basket and said hello to her father-in-law, husband, and uncles. She unconsciously raised her head high and walked into the street that was only for two people to walk side by side with dignity. alley.

This deep alley is very long, almost more than 100 meters deep.

Nearly 60 families live on both sides of such a long trail.

They are all poor people with the lowest status and the most difficult life in the county.

Before the Chinese New Year, they saw with their own eyes that Aunt Sun had good luck and married into a scholar's family as the daughter-in-law.

Now that I heard that she was back, everyone quickly opened the door of their house and began to greet her with a smile.

"Hey~, Aunt Sun, why are you back?"

Aunt Sun lifted the basket high in her hand
"My parents-in-law asked me to come back and see my parents and brothers."

"My father-in-law and my husband will visit other relatives in the city. They will come to pick me up later!"

After Aunt Sun got married last time, she brought back a lot of things when she came back three times.

It’s all grain, all food.

What about mushrooms and eggs? She brought back a lot of them in one go.

As a result, during that period of time in the Sun family, the smell of meat and vegetables could be heard in the house every day.

Someone now asked Aunt Sun about it.

"Aunt Sun, this time your parents-in-law asked you to come back, what good things did they give you?"

Aunt Sun smiled and said: "What else can I have? Isn't it just like last time, a good thing for my father, mother and brothers to replenish their bodies?"

She saw her mother coming out of the house to greet her, so she quickly took a few steps forward.

After entering her house, she asked her mother to lock the door.

The room was pitch black and there was no way to light an oil lamp.

The air is also a bit turbid, especially cold.

Seeing her seriously ill father still lying on the bed, she took off her rabbit skin vest without thinking.

After she personally put it on for her father, she shuddered and said, "Dad~, you will wear this rabbit skin vest every day. When my husband's family becomes prosperous in the future, I guarantee that you, my mother, and my brothers will be popular." It’s hot! You get to take advantage of me every day.”

The bed where his father was lying was covered with a thick layer of straw, and he was covered with a straw quilt.

When hay is placed under the body or spread on the body, it will become a little damp after a long time.

Once the hay gets damp, it won't be very warm when you lie down on it to sleep.

Aunt Sun's father, Sun Youyu, originally thought that he would come to an end this year and would last a few more months at most. But now that he saw his daughter again and was sent back to visit him by her husband's family, he suddenly felt happy.

"Daughter, what kind of hair is this made of? It makes you warm immediately after you put it on!"

Aunt Sun said: "Dad~, this is made of rabbit fur!"

"Father~Mom~, you don't know that my mother-in-law is very capable."

"She can weave, tailor, embroider, make straw sandals, and make coir raincoats. She can raise the family's chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, and rabbits. She is responsible for everything by herself. Occasionally she will let a few of her Sons and daughters, please reach out and help.”

When Aunt Sun heard this, she showed an expression of admiration.

"Sure enough, the scholar's wife is extraordinary!"

"They are talented scholars!"
