Chapter 17 Scene 15 When returning home

The soldier stopped his pedaling foot and let the bike slide freely downhill.He was happy to have such a short, light-hearted moment.He had been riding for two hours straight since he left the camp. The evening in June was very hot, and the setting sun was sinking below the horizon. With the sun behind his back, he continued to move forward, and he would be home in 30 minutes.The soldier didn't have headlights on his bike, but he could get home before he needed one.He stepped on the pedal at a faster speed, and the big trees on both sides backed away one by one.He thought of his luck, both good and bad, and it struck him as incredible.The bad luck is that because of the war, his camp is always stationed far away from home.As luck would have it, this time he got 24 hours off.He has a bicycle, he also has physical strength and energy, and he has the motivation to go home on vacation. Even if he wants to ride a bicycle for a day, what is it?

The soldier's spouse didn't know he was coming back.So when it was getting dark outside and the back door opened, she was taken aback.Fortunately, her two daughters, 11 and 7, were upstairs sleeping at this time.Otherwise, she would be alone at home.But when she saw clearly that it was her spouse who had entered the house, the woman felt both joy and panic.To her delight, the spouse hadn't been home for weeks and she was missing him.At the same time, she had been very depressed for several days because of her insatiable sex drive.On the other hand, the reason a woman panics is because if her spouse gets home an hour early, he will find out that there is another man in the house.

Hitherto, a woman has always believed that she has been steadfast during her spouse's long absence from home, and her vows have been accepted by her spouse.The reason why she wanted to emphasize her innocence in this way was because she was in a very disadvantageous situation. Her eldest daughter was not born to her and her spouse, and he knew this fact.That was the mistake she made when she was young. At the age of 22, she worked on a farm, but was raped by the farm owner.She will never forget that day 12 years ago, when almost her whole life was ruined.Even now, the man's eyes often appear in her dreams, and she can also see those eyes on the face of her eldest daughter.

Later, she found out that she was pregnant.All at once she lost her job, her mother's care, and her freedom.She was sent to live with her grandmother during the first few months of her pregnancy, and then to a domineering and benevolent midwife.At this time, the soldier suddenly walked into her life, and he offered to take care of her and her newborn daughter.Needless to say, the woman owed him all her life.Regardless of his parents' opposition, let alone the eyes of the people around him, he finally lived with a woman.Four years after they met, she bore him a daughter, the fruit of their New Year's sex.However, men actually want a son more, and if the war hadn't started, they might not have had another child.

A man enjoys his life in the army, but he also worries about what his spouse will do when he is not at home.She also knew that he was worried, as long as she thought of what if he came home and saw a strange man at home, she would tremble all over.In fact, so far, between her and the other man, there is only a "Platonic" spiritual relationship.She knew the man had other plans for her, and tonight she found herself attracted to him too.I don't know what would have happened if the two daughters had gone to bed by then and hadn't been with them. The woman welcomes her spouse back with hugs and kisses, and she tells him to take a shower first.Then, the woman found out the existing materials at home and made some meals for him.Later, when they had sex, the man got so excited that he held back until the last second to tell her that he didn't have time to buy or borrow condoms.The woman resisted, saying that she did not want children now.The man said, it doesn't matter, he will ejaculate outside her body.The woman replied that it might not matter because her next period should start anytime soon.

Turns out the man didn't take out-of-body ejaculation.Not only that night, but also the next morning, and at noon the next day, he didn't ejaculate the woman's body. An hour later, the man left the house and got back on his bicycle. He rode for another 3 hours, returned to the camp, and immediately returned to his job.The man rides off on his bicycle, but his sperm gets inside his mate's egg, and the next time he sees her, the woman is pregnant.A few months later, it was the hottest March in 20 years, and the man's son was born. Fifty years later, the woman had 7 grandchildren, while the man had only 6: 1 grandson was born to his daughter, and the other 5 grandchildren were born to his son, which was born when the man returned home in June of that year the son born.

In the three scenarios in this chapter, we illustrate examples of women making mistakes in the reproductive race according to different situations.But in fact, these women's mistakes seem to be calculated in advance, but they benefit from it.For example, the woman we mentioned in scene 15 clearly expressed that she did not want to get pregnant, but her body not only did not escape pregnancy, but it can be said that she seemed to want to get pregnant at all costs. Fifty years later, as it turned out, her body at the time had successfully directed and staged the blunder.Because from the point of view of procreation, she has gained real benefits.

The woman did not want to conceive at the time, but she did not use any contraception because she consciously believed that she was unlikely to become pregnant.And the reason why she didn't use contraception on a whim was that she thought that the previous menstruation had passed for a long time, and the next menstruation would start at any time.However, as we also said in scene 2, she immediately discovered that women's menstrual cycles are not so easy to predict.For the menstrual cycle, we can only believe that menstruation will begin 14 days after the ovulation period (we will explain this in detail below).In addition, all conditions pertaining to a woman's menstruation are highly susceptible to change, since the woman's anatomy inherently prevents the man from figuring out what's going on.In particular, there are too many ways in which women change the number of days from ovulation to the beginning of menstruation. This is very important for women's reproductive strategy.And the variation in the number of days (as we'll explain shortly below) is really just one of many factors that affect your menstrual cycle.And here's another thing everyone knows: Just because your menstrual cycle looks perfectly regular doesn't mean a woman will be able to conceive.Because a woman who menstruates on time may not ovulate during her cycle.Any healthy and fertile woman will also have non-fertile periods between her fertile and fertile periods.

Most women experience at least 3 types of non-fertile periods.The first is neither menstruation nor ovulation.The second is to have normal menstruation, but no ovulation.The third is that there is both menstruation and ovulation, but the time between ovulation and menstruation is shortened from 14 days to 10 days, and this reduction in the number of days will prevent the implantation of fertilized eggs. In the short term, the non-fertile period is an important tool for women whose bodies subconsciously confuse men and adjust the number of children they have over their lifetimes.If the non-fertile period lasts for a long time, even years, it may indicate that there may be a problem with the woman's body.Even so, it may be a subconscious natural ability of women to do family planning.

Throughout a woman's life, the fertile and non-fertile cycles can be predicted in advance.Women may ovulate before menstruation begins, but apparently they do not ovulate during infancy.Even after their first period begins, they are less likely to have a fertile cycle.A healthy woman about 20 years old, the number of her true ovulation is less than half of the number of fertile cycles.Even at the age of 30, which is the most fertile period for a woman, her ovulation rate still only accounts for 80% of the number of fertile cycles (that is, only 8 out of 10 fertile cycles can ovulate).After the age of 30, the number of ovulations becomes less and less, and after the age of 40, this downward trend will become more rapid.And when a woman is over 50 years old, ovulation will stop at any time. Although there have been reports that a 70-year-old woman can still give birth, this is only unconfirmed information.

During the fertile cycle, after each menstruation, a woman's body undergoes a series of hormonal changes.These changes help a woman's body prepare for ovulation by pausing the hormonal changes for a day or two before ovulation.Whether a woman will ovulate in the end depends on the actual situation in the next few days or even weeks.During this period of pause, it is a great time for the female body to collect sperm.A woman may get sperm from her mate, or from a man other than her mate, or even collect sperm from more than two men.In short, it all depends on how the woman's body feels about giving birth under the circumstances at the time. The woman in scene 15 thinks her next period will start immediately because it has been a long time since her last period ended, but she is mistaken.Her body was in a state of suspension of everything.Because her body anticipates that her spouse will not be around for a while in the near future, her body expects sperm from other men.However, when she got sperm from her mate, her body reacted and released an egg.Although this woman thought in her consciousness that she was not suitable for pregnancy at that time, her body was more aware of the current situation than her consciousness.At that time, it had been eight years since her last pregnancy, and her body had already started to go downhill in terms of physical ability to give birth or raise her third child, so her body judged that it was the most suitable time to conceive, especially Because it happened to be June. Many mammals, such as squirrels, sheep and bears, only give birth at certain times of the year.In other words, they have calculated the right time to raise their offspring when the weather is good and food is easiest to find.Conversely, large monkeys or apes living in tropical environments with little temperature variation can give birth at any time of the year.The timing of pregnancy and childbirth is not evenly distributed according to the seasons, and sometimes it will be concentrated in certain months.This is the same for human beings.For example, for humans in the United Kingdom and Canada, most babies are born in early spring (February and March), followed by early autumn (September); The coldest season of the year (December and January); and for humans in the southern hemisphere, the season of concentrated birth of babies is the same as in the northern hemisphere. The birth peak mentioned above reflects exactly the peak pregnancy period 9 months earlier, and also reflects the peak ovulation period before that.Assuming that the location of scene 15 is in the United Kingdom, the ovulation period of local women is most likely to be in May or June, or December.Had that scenario been set in October instead of June, the outcome could have been very different.If it had been October, intercourse might not have stimulated the woman's body to ovulate, even though everything was on hold.But it happened to be June.She's 34 years old, it's been 8 years since she gave birth last time, and she rarely gets sperm.Regardless of what was going on in her head, her body decided that that summer was the perfect time to conceive.And this decision is correct. Fifty years later, not only is her son alive, he has also brought her 5 grandchildren.Judging from the era and society she lived in, the average number of grandchildren for an average person is four.If she hadn't had that son, she would have had only two grandchildren, half the average.But because of that son, she ended up with a total of seven grandchildren, almost double the average number, and with it the chance to have future generations of grandchildren. As for the male, he certainly wasn't as productive as his spouse.But in the end, the results were not bad. For him, that son was not only very important, it could even be said that without that son, he would only have one grandchild.And he had to face the danger that accident or infertility might kill him in a generation or two.However, because he had that son, he also had above-average grandchildren.From the point of view of reproduction, even though he had paid the price to raise another man's daughter, it was the right decision for him to choose that woman as his spouse at that time.Also, on that hot June day, he decided to cycle home for three hours, which was a wise decision.
