Become a winner in life after binding the childbearing system

Shen Yao changed the subject at the right time to prevent Song Ling from falling into sadness.

To the base, none of these people are important. The population can be increased. Unless they are special talents, the base will not care about their lives.

The mother and daughter collected the weaving materials and returned to the base early.

With the property certificate of Area B, Shen Yao did not need to verify her identity when entering and leaving Area B. However, because the distance was relatively far, the time she spent on the road still increased.

slam-la-

He took off the backpack on his shoulders and threw away the sack he was dragging.

Shen Yao shook her wrist, which felt a little sore, and after taking a break, she quickly carried out the follow-up treatment.

After cleaning, rubbing, grinding and peeling, Cheng Qi did not return from get off work after the inspection until the entire courtyard inside and out was covered with the carpet.

Bringing the latest news about cotton collection, Cheng Qi lifted up his sleeves and helped Shen Yao with the few remaining finishing touches.

Shen Yao went to the kitchen to cook and took out some potatoes and thawed goat meat.

Cut the goat meat into pieces and stew it, then serve it with chopped potatoes and other vegetables. Eat it with steamed buns cooked in the morning and then dip it in the sauce.

"I talked to mom about cotton today. We can discuss it and go together."

The more people there are, the safer it is. The wilderness is not like the cotton fields designated by the base. Anything can happen there.

If you are lucky and pick enough cotton, you can not only make a lot of money but also buy enough supplies. If you are unlucky, you will get nothing and may even lose your life.

"I have several good places here, and the inspection team will send people there when the time comes." Although their inclusion will affect the amount of cotton distributed, the safety will be greatly improved, and it will still be a profit in comprehensive comparison.

After nodding with a "hmm", the two of them washed the dishes on the table, put them away, and turned to go to the studio to work.

All the vines brought back should be woven into thick window mats or door mats to block wind and snow.

The two of them had skills and each of them weaved one. In just one night, they had added a thick winter coat to all the windows in the room.

The door was quite wide and there was a wall that needed to be protected, so they could only put off the remaining work until tomorrow and then lay down on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.

The next morning, Shen Yao opened her eyes and when she went downstairs to the living room, Cheng Qi had already prepared breakfast and served it directly on the table.

After washing up, Shen Yao picked up a piece of golden and sweet fried steamed bread and put it into her mouth.

Well

Freshly squeezed oil tastes delicious and has better flavor than the synthetic oil sold in the exchange center.

Cheng Qi will go to work with the patrol team soon, and Shen Yao will stay at home to sort out the supplies.

The redemption center has been selling winter vegetables these days, all of which are long-lasting storage varieties. The prices are not cheap, and if the order quantity increases, they will be delivered home.

Shen Yao plans to order a batch of winter vegetables, whether for her own consumption or to make into pickles and salted vegetables, it is better than hiding at home and chewing nutritional supplements in the cold season.

After breakfast, the two of them went about their own business. Shen Yao first went to the exchange center, then bought a lot of bottles and jars. After washing and drying them, and waiting for all the winter vegetables to arrive, Shen Yao began her pickling journey.

During this period, Song Ling provided remote guidance through a watch, and Cheng Ma also taught many pickling techniques.

For example, flavor, seasoning ratio, marinating time, etc. will affect the taste of the final product.

Shen Yao is bold in trying new things. She buys a few jars of almost every flavor. After pickling them, she moves them to the attic for storage and only opens them to taste when they are ready to eat.

Busy and busy, washing and cleaning, Shen Yao's life is extremely fulfilling.

Finally, the day of picking cotton arrived. Shen Yao changed into thick clothes, put on a veil hat, and tightened it with a rope under her chin.

The most difficult thing about cotton fields is the small animals such as bugs and spiders that grow in them.

They carry poison, which can cause mild redness and swelling that lasts for a long time to go away, or even death.

Cheng Qi was also asked by Shen Yao to be fully armed. This person was even more miserable than her. Shen Yao was a picker, and Cheng Qi was the staff responsible for protecting them.

"Hurry up and get in the car. Remember not to go too deep. The deeper you go, the more problems you'll have."

The cotton field is too large, so the cotton in the inner layer usually has a high shipment rate, while the cotton on the outer layer is often exposed to the sun and is very prone to high degree mutation.

Correspondingly, the thicker the cotton is, the more insects it attracts. Humans and animals will seek benefits and avoid harm, and highly mutated cotton is not good for insects.

Shen Yao nodded and raised her hand to climb to the back seat of the truck. The bus had been temporarily abandoned in this situation. The cotton fields were located on rugged mountain roads, and only military trucks could pass through unimpeded.

There is also a layer of rainproof cloth on the truck, which is somewhat like a parasol. It does not have much specific function, but just provides simple shelter for people.

When the truck was filled with people collecting samples, the driver in front stepped on the accelerator and started the truck, ignoring the fact that there were still many people behind him who had not gotten on, and rushed out directly.

"Ouch, ouch"

The people in the back of the truck were stumbling around and being tossed around like objects.

Shen Yao had foresight and directly grabbed the handrail on the edge of the truck, fixing his body against the car body to prevent himself from being thrown out.

There were so many people in the car, packed tightly together, that it was hard to get into an accident, but it was very easy to get bruised all over and feel dizzy.

When they got there, they still had to climb trees to pick cotton. Shen Yao didn't want to waste her energy at this time, and she didn't even care when people around her pushed her away.

The truck wobbled on the road for more than an hour before reaching its destination.

The sealed truck bed was opened manually and everyone jumped down slowly.

Shen Yao fell to the end, and when she looked up she saw heads everywhere around her.

Cheng Ma and Song Ling were not in this group. Through chatting on their watches, Shen Yao knew that they were still on the truck behind.

This cotton field is so huge that if a person is thrown into it, it would be like a drop of water falling into the sea, with no trace left at all.

"Line up, stand in line and get your number tag." A staff member in front kept shouting through a loudspeaker.

Shen Yao took the opportunity to squeeze to the front and asked about Cheng Qi's location.

"Look ahead, I'm at the tool pick-up point."

Shen Yao saw the contents of her watch and stood on tiptoe to determine Cheng Qi's location.

Hard work pays off, I finally spotted a figure, but it was hidden in the crowd and difficult to identify.

"Here, next one, next one..."

The staff gave out a metal plate that can be worn on the hand.

"65"

There were numbers on the metal plate. Shen Yao looked it over carefully and then stood obediently next to the tools.

"Gloves, scissors, and call for help if there is any problem."

Shen Yao took her tools, winked at Cheng Qi beside her, turned and entered the cotton field that was like white clouds.

"65, 65, 65"

After muttering to herself several times, Shen Yao finally found the cotton tree she wanted to pick.

The cotton tree is nearly three stories high, and its branches are full of cotton that looks like clouds.

Looking more closely, there are insects slowly wriggling inside the cotton.

Shen Yao checked her clothes and veil again to make sure that no skin was exposed before she dared to put on gloves and climb the cotton tree.

Click, click, click—

The cotton tree branches made noises. Shen Yao was afraid that the branches could not support her weight, so she did not dare to move around.

Calling on the system to quickly scan the cotton for her, Shen Yao frowned, took out a pair of scissors, placed the backpack vertically under the cotton, and cut it off neatly.

Who made the cotton tree have so many branches, and the branches are covered with short thorns as long as fingers.

No matter how careful Shen Yao was, she was still pricked by the short thorns several times.

Unable to hold back the urge to curse, Shen Yao slowly let out the anger in her heart and slowly climbed up along the branch.

The system would not dare to upset the host at this time. It not only considerately marked out the cotton with medium and low mutations, but also directly blocked the dazzling insects.

After working on a tree for nearly an hour and a half, Shen Yao came down and sat beside the tree to rest.

The veil on her head was taken off. Shen Yao took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from her forehead. She took a while to get up.

Shen Yao sent the cotton in the basket to the staff for testing and recycling, and then recorded the weight of the picked cotton on the metal plate in her hand. Then she returned to the cotton field and climbed up a cotton tree that had not been picked.

The number 65 does not refer to one tree, but to the five trees closest to it.

How should I put it? The base wants people to work more, but it doesn't have enough chips to offer.

Shen Yao worked fast here, but she was a bit exhausted. When she finished picking the cotton from the second tree, it was noon when the sun was at its hottest.

Shen Yao's sweat had soaked through half of her clothes. She barely managed to record the weight of the cotton. She didn't even have the energy to eat.

When Cheng Qi came over, he saw Shen Yao looking so tired and dizzy. He quickly unscrewed the nutrient solution in his hand and carefully poured it into Shen Yao's mouth.

Well

The smell of the nutrient was too strong. Shen Yao opened her eyes and saw Cheng Qi squatting beside her, wiping the sweat off her face with his sleeve.

"I'm fine"

Shen Yao tried to explain for herself, but Cheng Qi didn't say much. He just said that he had some time in the afternoon and could help pick the fruits.

Shen Yao:...Hmm?

Shen Yao wanted to refuse, but seeing Cheng Qi's serious expression, she finally swallowed the subject back.

Well, the space is filled with a lot of cotton anyway. Even because of the special nature of the space, insects and spiders cannot enter the space at all, resulting in the cotton in her space being very clean and can be used after just flicking it.

.........

"Is there no danger around?" Shen Yao did not continue climbing the tree in the afternoon, but changed Cheng Qi to go up, and she waited for the operation under the tree.

Cheng Qi shook his head and said, "The patrol team has cleaned up the surrounding area in advance, and it has been safe in the past few days." He cut the cotton with his hands quickly and quickly, and soon threw the cotton that had been collected and packed into a sack under the tree.

Shen Yao opened the sack and took out the cotton balls expressionlessly and tested them one by one.

The watch made a ticking sound, and soon, a sack of cotton was tested, and a new sack fell from the tree.

The two sides cooperated and picked all the cotton from the remaining three trees before returning to the base.

The staff recorded the quantity and skillfully handed the corresponding weight of cotton to Shen Yao.

"Signature confirmation"

The cotton from the base must be transported separately, while individuals have to rely on themselves for their own cotton.

At times like this, Cheng Qi's identity as a patrol team member becomes extremely useful.

It can be placed directly on the patrol team's vehicle without having to squeeze into the truck bed.

"Slow down, don't push"

"Ouch, my sack, push it gently"

"..."

Shen Yao did not squeeze to the innermost part, but hid near the door of the truck, holding on to the horizontal railing on the truck bed to stabilize her body.

It was ten thousand times more crowded than when we came here, and the cotton in the sacks in particular was problematic. There were even small insects crawling out and landing on people.

In short, when Shen Yao returned to the base, her ears were still buzzing and itchy.

Shen Yao:......

Shen Yao asked about the situation of Cheng Ma and Song Ling, but unfortunately there was no response from her watch, and she was surrounded by people who had just returned.

"Let's go home first"

Cheng Qi shook the sack in his hand and lifted the weight of dozens of kilograms with ease.

Shen Yao glanced back at the messy environment behind her, turned around and left with Cheng Qi.

Shortly after the two of them left, Song Ling and Cheng Ma squeezed out of the crowd one after another.

Compared with Shen Yao's dry outfit, the two men looked a little shabby. They carried their own sacks in their hands and supported each other to find an empty seat to rest.

She took the time to look at the message on her watch, and seeing Shen Yao's movement, Song Ling quickly replied.

Both of them complained that the cotton yield at the base was not very good this year. If they wanted to have enough food for their families, they had to rely on those dangerous collection points in the wild.

"Well, it's dangerous. Didn't the second brother say that we should go there together? After we finish our work at the base, we will take a look."

Each person will take two days to collect cotton, and there will be no other changes to the quota of cotton weight.

They are the type who work day by day, but their schedule is more troublesome. The patrol team has shift arrangements, but the population of the Dawn Base is too large, so Cheng Qi may not be able to spare much time.

"It's okay, we still have Old Shen and Xiao Yu," There are people in their Shen family who can be used.

Song Ling has always been generous towards her family. Cheng's mother has a good relationship with Song Ling because of introducing her to a blind date, and the two of them often make appointments to collect samples in the wild.

Compared with the mother and daughter who were always sticking together before, Shen Yao, as the ex-lover, has fallen out of favor, while Cheng Ma is the new love and is currently in the limelight.

.........

After entering the house and turning on the lights, Shen Yao and Cheng Qi did not eat, but took a bath first to relieve their discomfort.

The ointment was taken out and applied to some places that were accidentally bumped. Shen Yao sat on the sofa, staring at the sack thrown at the door.

"what happened?"

Cheng Qi came out with a towel hanging around his neck and his hair falling into the water.

Shen Yao frowned and said coquettishly that she hated the bugs on cotton.

Cheng Qi raised his eyebrows and asked Shen Yao to rest while he would deal with the cotton.

"How do you do it?" Manually? It's a tedious task and takes a lot of time.

Cheng Qi smiled at this, turned around and went to the storage room to get some food, and then used the unused wooden boards and rattan at home to weave a long wooden box.

The cotton was poured into a wooden box and placed outside the door. Taking advantage of the animals' attraction to light and the temptation of food, Cheng Qi felt that this practice would reduce their workload by 80%.

"If you have time, you can go to the exchange center and buy a few bottles of disinfectant for backup. There may be animal eggs hidden in the cotton. It would be better to soak it with disinfectant and then dry it."

As for how much better it is, there are a large number of people buying it at the base every year. Disinfectant is cost-effective and is definitely better than some flashy things.

Upon hearing this, Shen Yao glanced at Cheng Qi who had returned, and then glanced at the white cotton lying in her space. She thought that her plug-in was the most reliable. When she found an opportunity later, she would do a simple in and out and all the troubles would be solved smoothly.
