Chapter 7: Many Children, More Blessings in the 60s? (1)

It's already September, but the weather is still hot. The whole earth is like a steamer, making people feel stuffy and hot.

Xu Jinhuan had been walking for a long time and her clothes were soaked with sweat and stuck to her body. She wiped the sweat from her forehead and found a shady corner to sit down.

In front of her was a group of refugees. The people were ragged, hunched over, with dull eyes, and they moved forward like skeletons.

She looked down at herself and found that she was not much better. She was just skin and bones and looked like a nobody.

The system also came to its senses. The host would not die for a while, so it might as well urge her to complete the task: "Host, let's go find the hero! If we find him, you won't have to starve."

Xu Jinhuan recalled the original plot of this world in his mind and couldn't help but shudder.

She said firmly, "I would rather starve to death than follow the plot line."

The background of this world is the 1960s, and it is in the midst of a great famine. The heroine was born into a family that favors boys over girls. She was going to be drowned by her grandmother when she was born, but when the pigs in the family gave birth to piglets and the chickens laid eggs, the family thought it was a good sign and saved the heroine's life.

The heroine survived in this way until she was seventeen years old, when a famine broke out in her hometown. When she heard that her grandmother was going to sell her to a fool, she fled overnight. On the way, she met a group of refugees and followed them, and fled to a small mountain village called Xiushui.

Being a lonely and weak woman, she soon became the target of many men's covetousness.

The heroine gritted her teeth, took the initiative to find a partner for herself, and married a soldier who could protect her.

The heroine of this world had the buff of having many children, so after getting married, she had been pregnant, giving birth, having confinement, and taking care of children in a cycle. She gave birth to seven children in total, and her body became weak. She passed away before she could enjoy the blessing of having children.

After the story ends in tragedy, the small world is still running. The hero soon marries a young and beautiful wife who loves fancy clothes and enjoys enjoying life. The hero is under a lot of pressure and thinks of the good things about the heroine.

Xu Jinhuan refused to accept such a plot. Women can give birth to children, but they must put themselves first.

She touched her hungry stomach and sighed, missing the delicious food she had wasted in the last life.

"Girl, I see you are so hungry that you can't even walk. Please eat this half steamed bun!" An old lady sitting next to her looked at her with concern.

Xu Jinhuan waved his hands and said, "I can still hold on!"

On the road of fleeing famine, a pound of food is as valuable as a pound of gold. She doesn't believe that anyone would be so kind.

She glanced at the man not far away who was staring at her with a greedy look on his face.

Maybe he wanted to coax her into marrying him with half a steamed bun.

The lady's expression really changed, and she glared at her unhappily: "I mean well, but you are too defensive, you think everyone is a bad person."

Having said that, she stormed off and came to the side of the man. The two of them winked at her.

Xu Jinhuan picked up a stone and threw it at him, saying coldly, "Get away from me!"

She stood up from the ground and continued to follow the fleeing group.

Looking around, the land was dry and barren. Occasionally, a piece of green would be seen, and a large group of people would rush forward to grab it.

She sighed, took out a piece of cake harder than a rock from the package she carried with her, and chewed it slowly until she was no longer hungry. Then she went to inquire for news.

Most people don't like to talk to her because talking is a waste of saliva, and now they are short of water, so they would rather avoid talking.

I can only ask those who are dressed better and have rosy faces.

"My old man said we should go to southern Hunan, where the government will help people fleeing famine."

"How long will it take to go?"

"About half a month! Just hold on a little longer, and when you get to Shonan, you'll have a good life."

The old lady with a haggard face looked ahead expectantly.

Xu Jinhuan lamented inwardly that she had never had such a hard life since she was born.

I couldn't even practice my skills because there wasn't a single trace of spiritual energy in this world.

The system looked at her pitiful appearance and asked, "Isn't it good to follow the plot line? If you are afraid that having a baby will affect your body, I can help you reduce it."

Xu Jinhuan shook his head: "No!"

The system was helpless: "Why are you so stubborn?"

Xu Jinhuan fanned the air with his hands and said, "I don't want to be reduced to a reproductive tool. The greatest value of a woman is not reproduction."

The system snorted coldly: "Then you can just starve!"

It watched coldly, waiting for its host to give in and do its task well.

Xu Jinhuan didn't care about the system's sarcasm. After all, it couldn't do anything to him.

The most important thing now is to get something to eat and drink.

She followed the refugee group, and when the group stopped, she would go around looking for food, such as wild vegetables and bird eggs, anything that could fill her stomach.

Sometimes when I’m so hungry that I’m dizzy, I think of the delicious food I wasted in the last life.

They got used to being hungry. Half a month later, the fleeing team arrived in southern Hunan Province and met a government that was providing relief. After eating a few meals of relief food, the team was disbanded and assigned to different places.

"Xiushui Village is still short of people. Is there anyone willing to go?" asked a female comrade in green military uniform holding a loudspeaker.

"I go."

"Where is Xiushui Village?"

The person asking the question thought that since he had come so far, he must find a good place to settle down.

"It's not far from the county town, you can consider it." said the female comrade.

Anyway, Xu Jinhuan would not consider this place. The people there are too tough. There are a lot of second-rate people and hooligans. The most important thing is that the locals stick together and are particularly hostile to outsiders.

She could handle it, but it would definitely be annoying, so it would be better for her to find a village with better customs.

Seeing that the female comrade had registered to go to Xiushui Village, she walked aside and followed her and asked, "Comrade, where is the best place for a single woman like me to go?"

The female comrade looked at Xu Jinhuan. Although he was thin, his facial features looked handsome and his eyes were lively. He did not look as lifeless as the other refugees.

She always liked people who were good-looking and could fight for themselves, so she patiently asked, "What are you good at?"

"I... I am particularly good at raising livestock, such as chickens, cows, sheep, and pigs. I have also been to school and have no problem reading and writing." Xu Jinhuan said.

She did not forget that the original owner had a buff of having many children and good fortune. Instead of using it to have children, it would be better to use it to benefit the public.

The lesbian was pleasantly surprised: "Are you serious? Don't fool me."

Xu Jinhuan said sincerely, "I never lie to others."

System: “Ha!”

The female comrade believed her, asked her a few simple questions, asked her to read the newspaper, and when she saw that she could really read, she told her: "We have a Red Star Breeding Farm here. I can write you a letter of recommendation, but whether they will hire you or not depends on your real ability."

Xu Jinhuan smiled, shook her hand excitedly, and said, "Thank you, you are really my benefactor."

A man nearby heard this and came up to her and said, "I am more capable than this girl. Instead of recommending her, you might as well recommend me."

"What can you do?" asked the female comrade.

The man's eyes flickered as he said, "I can also raise pigs and chickens, and I'm sure I can do it better than her."

The female comrade sneered in her heart, knowing that he was lying. She didn't dare to look at him, but she didn't expose him. She deliberately said, "Okay! You all go and try. But I have to make it clear to you in advance. If they don't want you, they will assign you to places where you are more needed."

Where are the places that are more needed? Of course, places where the conditions are difficult and no one goes.

The man immediately said: "Forget it, I won't go, you recommend her!"
