Her Cultivation Diary

Once the conversation started, everyone forgot about the plan to charge for live chat.

Even though Zhang Yanping placed a piece of lettuce on the sound equipment, since it was a purchased item, besides the crisp sound of picking vegetables, all of their conversation was picked up too.

For a moment, the fans in the live chat felt a sense of shared empathy.

——After all, whoever isn't asleep at this time, is it because they are naturally night owls?

No, it's because there's too little time during the day that belongs to oneself.

[Who would understand, feeling emo and wanted to watch a live stream for some laughs, but now even more emo]

[Hot knowledge: A gastric bypass is super super bad for your health!! You can't split it into parts!]

[Bro, maybe you should check your hair? At our age, it's more important to live than to earn money.]

[This sister speaks accurately; sales that require drinking are usually the big deals, and switching jobs doesn't change that job environment]

[Bro! We're all fighting for vegetables in the same live stream room. Sincerely suggest you find a gatekeeping job and take care of yourself, this night shift isn't good]

[I also think staying up late is bad, but this is Qiao Qiao's Home... gatekeeping doesn't have as good food, right?]

[Gastric bypass means you can't eat much anyway...]

[Not eating too much and not eating at all are two different things... working nights is hard on the body, but the meals might make up for it]

[Bro, 1200 salary is too low, can't we work a normal shift for five or six thousand?]

[Goodness, breaking down in the middle of the night! I'm earning 5000 and still doing overtime]

[Salary of 6000, no overtime, but team building is after 9 pm]

[Screenshot any of these comments and it's the pitiful life of us herd animals!]

It's the first time everyone in Qiaoqiao's stream found themselves breaking down—excluding those who didn't manage to buy veggies.

Zhang Yanping, staring at the comments, couldn't help but sigh and quickly said, "You all work hard and eat well to take care of your health!"

"By month-end, there'll be loads of money-making jobs in our house! As long as you're not afraid of hard work, everyone can do them! Earning a casual 100, 150 a day, with night shifts, means five or six thousand a month."

This instantly caused Gastric Bypass Brother to break down: "Huh? I'm here to recuperate, and I have to work during the day too?"

"Besides…" Self-taught Sister sighed, "When you say that, it's like the boss is dangling carrots in front of me."

Everyone nodded along.

Only Liu Liu, being sincere, seized the opportunity to ask quickly, "Can I join in picking tea this year? I heard it's 150 a day?"

Zhang Yanping's good intentions were mistaken for empty promises, feeling frustrated, he quickly said to Liu Liu's words:

"Sure! But you still have to take care of your kid, can you manage that? It's not worth it if you hurt your health."

Liu Liu laughed: "I've told the old lady at home, she'll watch the kid during the day, I'll give her 1000 a month."

She had calculated, night shift 1300—no, the stream added income, 1400. Along with 150 a day during the day, a month amounts to 1400+4500=5900.

Subtracting the 1000 to the old lady, leaves 4900.

By getting some old clothes, old shoes, and toys from relatives and friends for the child, apart from milk powder and diapers...

At least saving 4000 a month!

As for being tired… It's a bit tiring, of course, but compared to being on her own, taking care of the kid, finding ways to earn money, often shedding tears over a yuan...

Now it's the kind of stable life that even gods wouldn't want to trade away!

Not to mention the good food here; she hadn't been doing it long but felt stronger, and no more dizzy spells.

Looking at her daughter in the monitor, sleeping soundly at night, with a few borrowed buckwheat pillows beside her to prevent falling off, the child had put on weight too.

Liu Liu suddenly felt full of vigor!

Honestly, picking vegetables for just two hours at night was nothing to her!

Thinking of this, and seeing the eager new colleagues, Liu Liu silently picked up the pace once more…

And so.

It was only 1:45 am.

The cold-chain truck drivers, taking advantage of a free midnight snack and dozing on chairs, awoke abruptly to see Liu Liu, who usually finished picking vegetables around 2 am, standing in front of them:

"Hello, let's weigh these."

The driver wiped his face: "That fast?"

And Zhang Yanping came over, hesitated for a moment, and advised, "Really, there's no need to work that hard…"

Picking vegetables leisurely, chatting, and bringing some traffic to the live stream was good. But now, with everyone bent over working, they somehow lulled the live stream fans to sleep.

"You just don't understand." Self-taught Sister said leisurely:

"If you can get off work after finishing what's in your responsibility, who'd still want to slack off at work?"

"Slacking is just a passive resistance against an overtime culture."

Zhang Yanping: ...

Alright then!

After all, the vegetables were picked well, and cleaned up nicely too. When weighed, it turned out to be about the usual weight.

He waved his hand, "No worries! As long as there's no sudden plan changes, we won't do overtime for picking vegetables. If there's overtime, there'll definitely be pay. Get home early and rest."

In just a few more days, when the new employees are completely familiar with the entire workflow, he can sleep normally during his night shifts.

Oh yeah! Picking up a night shift salary of 1500 for himself and Xin Jun!

Because of keeping high efficiency while picking vegetables, everyone felt a bit tired. After saying goodbye to the rushed Liu Liu heading back to her child, everyone else headed back to their dormitories too.

Walking along, looking at the solar street lamps on the roadside, Nian Xu sighed: "Feels like going back to the dorm after university classes."

Those words instantly stirred everyone's memories, Gastric Bypass Brother also sighed: "Had I known I'd need a gastric bypass, I wouldn't have chosen marketing when filling in my major!"

Everyone had heard of versatile majors, but Nian Xu was curious: "So where did you go to school?"

Gastric Bypass Brother looked even more glum: "Agricultural University. A proper first-tier school."

Everyone: "..."

Wow, turns out you are truly from a vegetable-picking major! But looking at his just slightly chubbier than usual miserable appearance, everyone could only sigh:

"Well… if you hadn't done this, how'd you know your stomach could be cut? One more life experience, just watch out next time."

Gastric Bypass Brother's face darkened: "If you don't want to comfort me, just say it."

Everyone laughed, the laughter echoing far on the country road, oddly enhanced by the surrounding chirps of insects and birds.

"Alright, alright…" Everyone quickly lowered their voices, "Let's be a bit more careful, people in the dorms are all asleep now, don't disturb them. It's already 2 am."

Yes, it's 2 am.

As if just now realizing it, they really had come to rural life.

This all-encompassing darkness and tranquility felt so cozy, so comfortable!

Even their souls felt like they were floating, the chirping in the grass didn't seem noisy at all.
