Gu Zhiyun awkwardly tugged at the corners of his mouth, revealing a smile that wasn't really a smile.

Ever since Mingxiu asked him for an autograph, and after encountering several junior high school girls on the bus who also asked for autographs, he had realized that he was already a big celebrity among primary and secondary school students.

But he still couldn't get used to this worship and praise.

Looking at Gu Zhiyun's awkward expression, Shen Jingyan found it both amusing and somewhat helpless.

Fortunately, in this era, the idols that teenagers admire are still scientists, people who are truly worthy of respect, rather than the messy, haphazardly popular celebrities of later generations.

Of course, a large part of the reason these young girls admire Gu Zhiyun is his outstanding appearance.

His looks would be unparalleled in any era.

After the lunch break bell rang, Ding Xinjun quickly moved closer to Gu Zhiyun, smiling ingratiatingly:

"Hey, Comrade Gu, my daughter talks about you every day. It's not easy for me to see you. Could you sign an autograph for my daughter?"

Gu Zhiyun said helplessly, "I'm just an ordinary college student and researcher. Don't idolize me like a celebrity."

Shen Jingyan came to Gu Zhiyun's rescue, saying, "Brother Ding, Brother Yun has principles. It was his mentor's rule that he is not allowed to sign autographs for people everywhere. His mentor will be angry if he finds out."

With the boss having spoken, Ding Xinjun dared not pester Gu Zhiyun for an autograph anymore.

After lunch, Shen Jingyan went to visit Shen Yuqin.

She was well taken care of by Zhang Guizhi, and her energy and spirit were much better than when she first came to the farm. She had also become fairer. Perhaps it was because she had left her sharp-tongued and mean-spirited mother, Chen Feng. Shen Jingyan felt that Shen Yuqin's temperament had also changed.

Her face has become much rounder, and her eyes and brows have become more gentle and kind, less aggressive.

Looking at her from this angle, although she can't be considered a beautiful girl, she does have a certain delicate and pretty appearance.

The saying "Your appearance reflects your heart" is truly true.

Shen Yuqin can now use crutches and move around slightly, instead of lying in bed all day. Her attitude has also become much more positive and cheerful.

Shen Jingyan told her about Zhou Zhengqing's embarrassing moment at the wedding, and Shen Yuqin clapped her hands in delight after hearing it.

"Serves him right! He deserves to never find a partner in his life! It's a shame I wasn't there, otherwise I would have spat at him a few times!"

After lunch, Shen Jingyan decided to go back. She and Gu Zhiyun also planned to visit the Xu family.

Before leaving, she and Shen Honggang checked the accounts from the previous month.

"Jingya, payday is coming soon, and we're still short 160 yuan in our account."

Shen Honggang said this while working on his abacus.

Shen Jingyan would never default on wages. None of the workers are wealthy; they all rely on a few dozen yuan a month to support their families.

However, Chen Jingyan had invested all her savings in the farm, and the Xu family had encountered a series of misfortunes during this period. She had not been able to deliver goods to the supply and marketing cooperative or the department store for a long time.

"Xiao Ba, how many points do I have left?"

Shen Jingyan summoned the system.

"Master, your current score is 250."

Chen Jingyan: "???"

"Where are my points? Where did my more than a million points go?"

Xiao Ba patiently explained, "Dear Master, you haven't done any missions in a long time, and you've already used up most of your previous points by exchanging them for resources and high-quality seeds."

"So, what are the tasks now?"

"Yes, you can earn 500 points by showing concern for the educated youth and saying 'You've worked hard today'."

Chen Jingyan: "???"

Only 500 points? That's a drop in the bucket.

"Why so few? Didn't a kiss give you tens of thousands of points before?"

“Master, that was before. Now you two sleep in the same bed every day and kiss endlessly. If you could get 10,000 points for every kiss, it would make this system seem too incompetent and the tasks too unchallenging.”

Shen Jingyan pinched the bridge of her nose with a worried expression: "Are there any more challenging tasks?"

"Yes." The system's tone brightened. "Completing the great harmony of life with Gu Zhiqing in the bridal chamber of the space and giving birth to a baby will earn you one million points!"

Chen Jingyan: "..."

I've lost count of how many times I've been speechless.

Do you think our current circumstances are suitable for having a baby?

"Then I'm sorry, Master, there are no other tasks at the moment."

Shen Jingyan had no choice but to ask the system to disappear.

Although 160 yuan wasn't a large sum of money in her eyes, she really couldn't come up with it right now.

So she said to Gu Zhiyun, "Brother Yun, do you have any money left? I need 160 yuan."

She knew that Gu Zhiyun wrote science columns for newspapers and magazines every month. Although he didn't earn as much as Yang Xuechang, he still made thirty or forty yuan a month.

Gu Zhiyun is someone who never spends money recklessly. He rarely invests in himself, and when he does spend money, it's usually to buy her gifts.

Shen Jingyan guessed that he must have saved up all his money.

Taking out a hundred or so yuan shouldn't be a problem, right?

To everyone's surprise, Gu Zhiyun hesitated and said, "Jingya, I don't have that much money..."
