After hearing what Zhao Xiulan said, Zhao Xiuzhu nodded, “Hmm, okay, Sister. I agree with you on that. I’ll work hard at home to earn work points.”

“Good girl! Don’t worry, I can do it alone.”

“Hmm!”

Before Zhao Xiuzhu left her room, Zhao Xiulan deliberately asked Zhao Xiuzhu to take a few more sips of water to dilute the smell of meat bun in her mouth.

Otherwise, the others will smell it, especially Ma Yumei, who has a sharp nose and can find anything delicious. If Ma Yumei finds out that Zhao Xiuzhu had eaten a meat bun, she was afraid that the world would be turned upside down.

In the afternoon, Zhao Xiulan continued to work and earn work points.

Because it was afternoon already, many tasks were already taken by others, so Liu Gensheng arranged for Zhao Xiulan a cotton-picking task.

Under the bright sun, the sunshine is difficult to endure. Zhao Xiulan secretly put a little sunscreen on herself, so as not to get too dark.

The original owner had been working for a long time and, like most of the girls in the production team, had been tanned.

Because of the so-called white skin covers all the ugliness in you, so girls pursue whiteness in their hearts.

The same goes for Zhao Xiulan, the original owner’s skin must be well conditioned and restored. Otherwise, she will stay dark and thin, like a little country girl. Compared with her previous life, she was white, rich, and beautiful, with long legs, the difference is really too much.

So now, she applies sunscreen to prevent herself from getting tanned. When she goes back at night, she will use some whitening stuff from the space to apply on her skin. The original owner’s skin is also relatively rough. She plans to apply a mask every night to take good care of it.

After finishing her work in the afternoon, Zhao Xiulan handed in all the cotton she had picked.

In addition to growing foodstuffs in the production teams, some cash crops will be grown every year in accordance with the tasks assigned by the country.

Cotton-picking tasks are measured according to the amount of cotton each person picks.

If you pick a little more, you can earn a little more work points, and if you pick a little less, you can earn a little less.

Zhao Xiulan picked a lot of cotton in one afternoon, which was the most among the people who did this job together in the afternoon.

Some are too lazy and they don’t pick as much in a day as Zhao Xiulan did in an afternoon.

After Liu Gensheng counted them, he recorded 3 work points for Zhao Xiulan according to the amount of cotton she had picked.

She can earn 3 work points in one afternoon, which is equal to 6 work points a day, which is relatively high.

Looking at Li Lijuan again, she was assigned the task of cutting hogweeds, and only earned 2 work points on that day.

But those who are diligent and gather a lot of hogweeds can also earn 4 to 5 work points, or even 5 to 6 work points.

Facing Li Lijuan like this, Zhao Xiulan shook her head. She had never seen such a lazy person.

Even if she is lazy and can’t earn much work points, she would still yell and complain that she was so tired, as if she has suffered a lot by herself!

As soon as she got home, Li Lijuan complained in front of Ma Yumei again, “Mom, I’m so exhausted. Look at me, my arms and face are tanned. It hurts… woo hoo hoo, I don’t want to work anymore!”

Ma Yumei was very distressed when she saw Li Lijuan like this, so she couldn’t help but rush to Zhao Weiguo, “Weiguo, look at how Lijuan’s skin has been tanned, it may even peel off. You should not let Lijuan work from tomorrow, okay? It’s really uncomfortable for me, as a mother, to look at her like this!”

Zhao Weiguo frowned when he heard Ma Yumei’s words, so Zhao Xiulan hurriedly took the lead, “Auntie Mei, it’s fine if Li Lijuan doesn’t work, just don’t let her eat from now on. Whoever wants to eat must earn work points by himself. She is already that old, but she wants others to support her? Those with good hands and feet don’t have to rely on others. These days, there can be no useless people in the society.”
