However, unlike the others who wanted to earn more work points, among the three, apart from Xu Laidi whose family was poor, neither Chen Shuning nor Wang Chunni wanted to ruin their health for a few work points.
Xu Laidi wanted to earn more money to help support her family, but unfortunately, she had been in poor health since childhood, and although she wanted to earn more work points, she did not have the ability to do so.
So the three of them finished work early at noon. They went to the big willow tree at the edge of the field to have lunch, and unlike the others, they didn't rush back to the field to continue working after lunch.
After finishing their meal, the three of them sat under a big tree, laughing and joking for a while. Only after seeing that most of the villagers had finished work and were preparing for lunch did they reluctantly stand up, put on their gear, and get ready to continue working.
It wasn't that the three of them were antisocial or that they would leave as soon as people came; it was just that there were only a few large trees that could provide shade near this wheat field, and the sun was scorching hot right now. It wouldn't be right for them to sit under the trees and enjoy the cool air while others ate their meals under the blazing sun. If they did that, they would really get scolded.
The three of them worked much slower in the afternoon than in the morning, but fortunately, they were all self-aware and only asked for a small plot of land at the beginning.
So around four o'clock, the three of them finished harvesting and bundling the wheat in the field. After finding the scorekeeper to check, each of them was given ten work points.
Seeing that it was still early, the scorekeeper asked them if they wanted to mark out tomorrow's plot of land and start working on it first, so they could earn more work points tomorrow.
You know, ten work points is a lot under normal circumstances, but it's harvest time now. A capable person can earn thirty or forty work points a day. Even the elderly and children in the village can earn six or seven work points a day during the harvest season. So, the point recorder asking them to allocate an extra section to work more is actually for their own good.
However, Chen Shuning still had to go back to cook, since there were guests at home, who had specially stayed to help her with chores. It was one thing to leave them at home all day to help her with chores, but it would be too much to not cook them a good meal in the evening.
Wang Chunni, on the other hand, was thinking about the ingredients for the meat sauce. She had asked Chen Shuning about a lot of ingredients while working in the afternoon, and to be honest, it was really not easy to get them.
So right now she's in a hurry to get all the ingredients, in case she really can't find them here, so she can write home as soon as possible and ask her dad to help her find a solution.
After all, her father wasn't a master chef at a state-run restaurant for nothing; he could get his hands on many unusual and rare ingredients.
The two people on this side refused to do it, so even if Xu Laidi wanted to do more, she was too embarrassed to ask. So the three of them rejected the scorekeeper's suggestion, and after watching the scorekeeper write ten centimeters after their names, they happily went home.
