Shen Yao agreed with Lin Xi. Both pregnancy and confinement were very difficult, especially giving birth in the hot summer, which was the most difficult season.
There was no air conditioning in this era, and even fans were very rare. Unless they were high-ranking officials or special personnel, the government would equip them with home appliances.
There are still a small number of families who can afford expensive luxury items like fans. They are all wealthy and powerful people. They are not short of money and have channels to ask others to purchase them from abroad.
But people from ordinary families simply cannot afford those things, let alone ordinary people in the countryside.
Therefore, when giving birth in the hottest season, not only the adults suffer, but the children also suffer.
If a person is stuck in a hot room and cannot wash his hair or take a shower for a few days, not only will he smell sour all over, but he will also be covered with prickly heat and rashes. Only those who have truly experienced it know the bitterness of it.
Isn’t there a saying that goes, a woman is a queen for a day, a princess for ten months, and a hard worker all her life?
But Shen Yao doesn't think so. She believes that as a woman, no matter how tiring or hard her life is, she must have independent thoughts and an independent source of income.
Learn to be kind to yourself and never let yourself down at any time, then you can live a wonderful life!
Moreover, as a woman, don’t always think about relying on others, but learn to fight for yourself. As long as you live out your own pride, you can be the queen of your life!
If you can't even learn the most basic independence and are willing to live under oppression all day long, then such a woman is destined to work hard all her life.
This is why some people can be the queen of time, while others are dominated by time all their lives.
After driving for more than an hour, the group arrived at the foot of a big mountain in the suburbs.
After getting out of the car, everyone picked up the tools they brought and walked towards the mountain step by step.
Because Jun Jinmo had used his mental power to lock a resting place suitable for a large number of people in advance, everyone arrived at their destination quickly.
"Look, this is a good place. The grass and trees all around are green, and there are many stones on the edge. It's perfect for a picnic." Song Qingyuan observed the surrounding environment and said with a smile.
"That's right." Mr. Gao nodded happily. "Today's weather is good and the sun is bright. It's a good choice to come for a spring outing."
Zheng Yaozu was also very satisfied with the place chosen by his grandson-in-law. He took out a set of crossbows from the toolbox and said to a few old friends with a smile.
"We old guys have formed a team to practice hunting. We haven't hunted for a long time, so we must have a good hunt today."
After hearing what his old friend said, Tang Henian immediately bent down and picked up a set of crossbows, and said with great interest, "Let's have a competition later to see who can kill the most prey. As for the loser, he will be responsible for preparing barbecue for everyone at noon."
Hearing this, Song Qingyuan, Grandpa Gao, and Grandpa Wen had no objections. They picked up a set of hunting tools and walked together towards a path.
Zheng Chengye and his group were also busy. They divided the work and built the stove with stones. They also cleaned up the stones on the side before dividing into groups to start working.
Shen Yao really wanted to go hunting. After all, she hadn't experienced the joy of killing wild animals in the past two years.
Unfortunately, as soon as she said this, several elders and brothers tried their best to stop her.
Even if she asked Jun Jinmo for help, it was of no use. In the end, he was blamed by the elders of several families.
Seeing this, she had no choice but to compromise. She had no choice but to take a few little girls with her to look for wild mushrooms and the like nearby.
As soon as the two guys entered the mountains, they were full of passion and energy. Each of them took a crossbow and brought Bai Tuanzi with them to go hunting with Jun Jinmo.
As for the pregnant women with big bellies, they could only stay where they were and wait obediently, with the elders watching over them. Even if they wanted to pick wild vegetables, they were powerless.
"Uncle Jun, I shot a wild goat. It's a really big one."
It was Xie Yuze's first time to go hunting in the mountains, and he felt very curious about the surrounding environment. He looked at the big goat that he had shot dead, with stars in his eyes. He turned around and shouted at Jun Jinmo.
Jun Jinmo raised his eyebrows, his tone revealing a hint of joy, "Not bad, your shooting skills have improved."
As he spoke, he killed two more wild boars that were some distance away from them.
When Zheng Chengyi heard that even Xie Yuze had hunted wild goats, he became extremely anxious.
He walked a few steps forward and saw a pheasant's nest not far away. His eyes lit up, and he pulled the bow and shot at the target quickly.
"Yeah, I got one too." He looked at the pheasants he shot and exclaimed, "Brother Jin Mo, I killed two pheasants. I'll use them to make soup for my sister later."
After saying that, Xiao Yibao secretly rejoiced in his heart that he was lucky that he did not fall too far behind that guy. If he could not catch any prey, he would be very embarrassed today.
Hearing the voice, Xie Yuze looked towards Zheng Chengyi, and when he saw the two pheasants that were several times smaller than the goats he hunted, he couldn't help but let out a light sigh.
It's so small, what's there to be excited about? Besides, to replenish Aunt Shen's body, wouldn't a goat be more suitable?
He then retracted his gaze and concentrated on looking for prey. He had to hunt more prey and bring it home in the afternoon to keep for Aunt Shen to eat slowly, so that his younger brothers and sisters in the belly could get nutrition.
The two little guys seemed to be competing as they harvested prey one after another.
With the help of Bai Tuanzi and Jun Jinmo, two super cheats, it wasn't long before the wild animals they killed piled up like a small mountain.
After a while, Tang Yunhao and Song Zixuan came over from the other side, and they put the prey they had caught on the ground.
Seeing the achievements of Xiao Yibao and Xie Yuze, Tang Yunhao was slightly surprised and couldn't help but sigh, "You two little guys are really good. You hunt more wild animals than I do."
Song Zixuan glanced at the wild animals piled on the ground and pursed his lips and said, "I'll go to the nearby area and call Chengye and the others to come over and carry the wild boar."
Before he finished speaking, he hurried in the direction where Zheng Chengye was.
There are so many wild boars, wild goats and sika deer. If we don’t get rid of them quickly, the smell of blood will definitely attract larger animals.
Seeing this, Tang Yunhao couldn't just stand there. He said a few words to Jun Jinmo, then carried a sika deer weighing an estimated 156 kilograms and walked towards the military truck at the foot of the mountain.
Zheng Chengye and his brothers followed Song Zixuan over and looked at the prey piled on the ground. There was a hint of surprise in their eyes.
This amount is several times more than the prey hunted by the brothers combined.
Zheng Chengdong and Zheng Chengxi lifted a wild boar and couldn't help asking in wonder, "Why do you have so many prey here? We have been hunting for a long time and only caught a few pheasants and rabbits, but didn't see any big animals."
