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

Chapter 58 Refugees from the North

After a dreamless night, Chen Feiyan's family woke up just after dawn.

Chen Yixuan took his eldest son, who was deaf, and his second son, who was mute, to the county seat again.

They were all people with whom they had a lot of dealings. Chen Yixuan went to Wuwei Restaurant, and the waiter Fan Cen received him.

As usual, he checked the mushrooms and several kilograms of leeks in three baskets, weighed them, and then gave him nearly two hundred big coins.

After the money was clearly handed over, Fan Cen, the waiter in the store, said directly to Chen Yixuan: "Uncle Chen, this is the last batch of mushrooms that my family will collect. Please bring something else next time!"

When he learned that his family no longer wanted mushrooms, Chen Yixuan couldn't hold back and asked curiously: "Why is this?"

The waiter, Fan Cen, shook his head: "Isn't it that this thing consumes too much fuel? In addition, there have been bad rumors in the county recently. My shopkeeper is afraid of being blackmailed, so he doesn't want to serve mushrooms to those customers."

……

Chen Yixuan came out of the back door of the restaurant a little disappointed and worried.

After tightening the heavy bag on his chest, he went to the grain store and bought more than ten kilograms of miscellaneous grains.

Noticing that there were always groups of strangers in shabby clothes in the county today, Chen Yixuan went to the grain store owner to inquire about this matter.

When the shopkeeper heard his question, he immediately told him: "Brother Chen, in recent days, a group of people fleeing from the north have come. In the middle of the night, they came to the gate of our county. It's still the county master. Renyi found several large households in the county to donate money and set up two porridge shacks at the gate of the city."

"I bought some grain from my house, and also bought several hundred kilograms of old grain from the old Zhou Liang store over there, and gave porridge to those who were fleeing, so that those people could escape. No, the fleeing team has now entered one after another. I wandered around the city, trying to find a way to make a living."

Knowing that there were still refugees at this time, Chen Yixuan looked puzzled.

"Shopkeeper, today is the first day of May. Isn't it long past the time when the green and yellow are not picked up? Why are they still here?"

The shopkeeper glared and suddenly said bitterly: "Didn't the tribes in the north start a fight?"

"They started fighting and had no food to eat, so they went south to rob us. We had no horses or knives, and we couldn't even eat the food we had left at home. When they came to rob us, we had nothing to eat."

After hearing the news that the tribes in the north were fighting again, Chen Yixuan suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

After a brief exchange of greetings with the grain store manager, he hurried back.

After arriving home before dark, Chen Yixuan first handed the money he earned today to Chen Feiyan, and then he told her about the group of deserters.

"Daughter-in-law, I don't know why I am like this. I always have a bad feeling in my heart. ... I plan to dig another cellar in our backyard starting tomorrow morning. We have to hide all the valuable things in the house. Go inside..."

After hearing his ramble, Chen Feiyan thought for a while and nodded heavily.

While she nodded, she was also puzzled.

Why didn't I encounter this kind of thing in my previous simulations?It just so happened that tomorrow was the day she could simulate it.She thought to herself that she would have to find out tomorrow what would happen in the next few years.

Soon, under her expectation, the second day of May arrived.

On this day, the weather was sunny and the wind was gentle.

After Chen Feiyan and his family had breakfast in the morning, Chen Yixuan took the main labor force of the family and started working in front of and behind the house.

The temperature is already very high.

With a temperature of more than [-] degrees Celsius, all the male workers in the hot house took off their clothes.

They threw away their arms and went to dig rocks in the mountains, and then came back carrying full baskets of rocks and gravel weighing more than a hundred kilograms.

Up and down the mountain, back and forth.

Many people in the village learned that Chen Yixuan was going to build a courtyard wall for his family and a new house for his brother.

When Chen Yixing met his younger brother, Chen Yixuan, he was very kind to him.He actually took the initiative to do this without even opening his mouth. He was so excited that he worked even harder with his son.

He wished he could move into his own new house in half a month.

The men at home who have some strength are all busy. Chen Feiyan, who is in the house, is lying on the kang to take a rare rest today.

After she quietly opened her life simulator, it didn't take long for the results of her simulation to appear on the simulator's screen.

[At the age of 25, while you and your sons can weave straw, fish, plant leeks, and dig wild vegetables, your family will temporarily solve the daily food and clothing problems.After your man's health improved, he went to his aunt to fight the autumn wind. After he made a long-term business in the county, your family raised chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, and the little black cat.Because your husband accidentally learned that there were people fleeing the disaster from the north, he has been uneasy ever since.Soon he built a yard for his house and dug a cellar at home.By the way, he built a thatched house for his brother. 】

[26 years old. Due to the increasing number of refugees coming here, many wealthy households in the county saw that the situation was not good, so they quietly sold their property and went to relatives in the south.Because of the hard and heavy labor last winter, the men in your family have begun to suffer from poor health again.Out of practical considerations, you kill all the pigs you raise and use the fat meat exclusively for him to replenish his body.Soon, his illness recovered.With your suggestions and suggestions, the county magistrate adopted your "relief for work" suggestion out of practical considerations.Soon, the originally chaotic county became calm again. 】

[27 years old, spring.For three whole months, not a drop of rain fell from the sky.All the food grown by farmers was wasted.At this time, you are still glad that you were prepared in advance.This year, instead of asking landlord Zhang to share the land, he bought his second loom in advance. 】

[28 years old, spring.Everyone in your family has lived a life of farming and weaving at the same time.Before we knew it, the family's annual salary had reached 12 taels.This year, you hired a matchmaker to find wives for all your first three sons.Soon, they gave birth to a child at the end of the year. 】

[At the age of 29, your family has become a big family in the village again.Relatives and friends who have never been to your home before are actually here.They also want to learn spinning and weaving, as well as the unique embroidery method of Wang Yingying's family, just like you.They resorted to misfortune, threats, relations, friendships, etc. In order to survive, they did everything they could.Many people are even willing to waive the bride price and want their daughter to marry into your family. 】

[30 years old, because your family insists that the family embroidery method should not be passed on to others, most of the villagers in Chenjia Village who come to visit have been offended.And your family's reputation has plummeted.Many people have begun to put on small shoes for you again.After much consideration, Wang Yingying suddenly compromised and passed on the techniques of spinning, weaving and a small part of embroidery.Soon, the creaking sound of the looms in Chenjiacun began to sound from morning to night.Every household made a small fortune. 】

[31 years old, you are all still alive.But with the birth of several grandchildren, the burden on the family has become heavier and heavier.The annual poll tax and corvee are starting to make you breathless.You have a vague feeling in your heart that you and Chen Yixuan will last a few more years at most.Sure enough, when your man and his brother went to the north three hundred miles away to serve in the army, they were both captured, sacrificed in front of the formation, and beheaded.After the news came back, you and Mrs. Wang were so sad that they burst into tears. 】

[32 years old...due to insufficient energy, it can no longer be estimated. 】
