I awakened the cultivation panel.

Chapter 27 Work
Chen Jingle now deeply regrets it.

If only I had been firmer back then, I would have left Changmao at home; it would have been so much trouble to bring him out.

This girl was the first to ask, and if she had stayed outside longer, she definitely wouldn't have been the last.

He certainly didn't think that the girl liked him and was deliberately using the kitten as an excuse to strike up a conversation with him.

Please, we're all just passersby!

Love at first sight is a strange concept that only exists in the world of anime and manga.

In reality, we usually call this lust.

This girl clearly loves kittens; didn't you see her eyes were practically glowing?

"Sorry, if you want to see and pet cats, please go to a cat cafe. I have something to do here."

Chen Jingle left those words behind and turned to walk towards the fresh produce section.

Cat cafes have all kinds of cats. As long as you're willing to spend money, the cats will make sure you're comfortable and leave satisfied.

They operate specifically for the public.

Our little long-haired kitten is a well-behaved kitten with an owner, so please excuse us.

Besides, he's so busy, how could he have time to chat with a stranger outside? He should use that time to go home and practice his Evergreen Technique to gain more experience.

The girl froze, hesitant to speak, but before she could say anything, Chen Jingle walked away, leaving her only able to watch his retreating figure with longing eyes.

She wasn't even given a chance to speak before being rejected so decisively.

Ah, this... okay.

"Oh dear! It really is..."

The girl watched Chen Jingle's retreating figure and couldn't help but mutter something under her breath. After saying it, she subconsciously covered her mouth and breathed a sigh of relief when she realized that no one else was around.

Talking behind someone's back is unacceptable.

Looking back, I was so focused on the cat that I only realized later that the man was actually quite handsome and had a very pleasant demeanor.

However, she still missed that cute long-haired little orange cat more.

Waaaaah, that's her dream cat!

I finally met them, but they wouldn't even let me touch them. I'm so heartbroken.

I feel like I'm going to kick off the covers tonight.

……

After returning from the supermarket and putting away all the bags, Chen Jingle went to take a shower.

After finishing, he went to the rooftop to cultivate and collect moonlight.

Although we collected a lot of spring rain and dew this morning, it doesn't mean we can rest easy.

We need to find ways to accumulate more reserves in case of emergencies, since there will always be times when we can't see the moon.

Moreover, a single drop of Moon Dew can increase one's attributes by one point.

For Chen Jingle, this was a very worthwhile deal. Rather than diluting it and using it to cultivate plants, he preferred to use the Moon Dew on himself.

Just then, Chen Kexin suddenly sent a message: "Jing Le, you don't have a job right now, right?"

"Yeah, I'm temporarily unemployed. What's wrong, Sister Xin?" Chen Jingle asked curiously.

Chen Kexin: "Do you plan to go back to the provincial capital next?"

Chen Jingle thought for a moment: "I don't plan to go back for the time being, at least not for the next six months."

Chen Kexin said, "Okay, we have a vacancy in our department. It's just about helping with routine paperwork. Would you like to give it a try?"

ha?
Chen Jingle was stunned.

Is it the Forestry Bureau?
Of course, this is definitely not a permanent position; nowadays, everyone who enters a position must pass an exam.

However, not just anyone can become a contract worker, especially in small places like Jiangbei, where most jobs are filled internally, and only the remaining ones are recruited from the community.

Chen Kexin thought the same way.

Although it's just a contract job, not a permanent position, it's relatively stable compared to private companies, with lower employee turnover.

In most cases, you won't be fired unless you resign voluntarily.

In terms of compensation, it certainly can't compare to a formally employed position, but it's at least better than what you'd get in a small company.

Moreover, the workload is not high, and most of the time it is not 996 (working from 9 am to 9 pm, 6 days a week). In addition, the job content is related to the government system, which is very suitable for people who want to take the civil service exam and can familiarize themselves with the job responsibilities in advance.

Another reason is that it's more respectable to talk about it.

Aside from not having a formal staff position.

It's definitely not recommended for long-term use, but it's fine as a transition.

Chen Kexin thought that with Chen Jingle's intelligence level, if he worked here for a while and then took the civil service exam, he might be able to greatly increase his chances of passing.

These days, with the economy in such a bad state, only government jobs offer a stable income regardless of economic conditions. Plus, Chen Jingle is quite attractive; if he can get into a good job, it will give him a significant advantage when looking for a partner.

A month ago, Chen Jingle might have considered it, but now, he chooses to refuse.

"Thank you, Sister Xin, but no need. I'd like to rest for a while first."

He had absolutely no desire to go back to work.

Since I don't have any worries about mortgages, car loans, or partners, and I have hundreds of thousands in my account, I can just leave it for now and deal with it when the money runs out.

Chen Kexin didn't insist; based on her understanding of Chen Jingle, being rejected was expected.

I just felt a little disappointed: "Okay, although I don't know exactly what you're thinking, I respect your opinion. If you need any help, remember to let me know."

"I understand. If I really encounter a problem that I can't solve, I will definitely consult you," Chen Jingle replied with a smile.

The conversation ends there.

Chen Jingle shook his head slightly, saying that his eldest sister really did worry a lot about her younger siblings.

He's alright, but Chen Wenjie is the real headache.

I'm bad at studying, and I'm bad at working.

However, Chen Kexin was unaware that Chen Wenjie's income had greatly increased with Chen Jingle's help. Although he was a bit tired, he was much more successful than before.

Chen Jingle did not disclose this to Chen Kexin.

Let's see when Chen Wenjie confesses to his family.

……

After a night of hard work, two more drops of moon dew were collected.

Chen Jingle diluted one drop and took it directly, saving the other drop for later use.

The additional attribute points were added to Constitution, bringing the total to 11.

The improvement isn't huge, but it's better than nothing.

the next morning.

Chen Jingle carried the diluted spring rain dew to water the fruits and vegetables in the orchard.

Given that I collected quite a bit of spring rain and dew yesterday, I'll splurge today and dilute it into four drops.

Four large buckets, each with more than 20 liters, were used to water every fruit tree and vegetable.

This truly means everyone gets a share of the benefits.

"Judging from how well it's growing, it can be harvested tomorrow."

Looking at the thriving vegetables in the garden, Chen Jingle was delighted.

Water spinach and lettuce are both typical fast-growing vegetables, and that's why he chose to grow them.

Having been watered with diluted moonlight dew before, and now with the spring rain and dew, these two vegetables are growing exceptionally well.

Moreover, Chen Jingle is particular about watering; he doesn't water everything at once, so that the produce won't rot in the ground.

Pour some water on it first, then eat that portion later, and then pour on the other portion. This will ensure that you have something to eat every day for the next period of time.

Let's collect another batch of fruit while we're at it.

Besides mangoes, the lychee varieties Fei Zi Xiao and Nuomici are also beginning to ripen.

Chen Jingle decisively picked them!
Unfortunately, there weren't many lychees; at most, we could only pick a few pounds.

He pruned the branches of the first 'Fei Zi Xiao' vine he picked, hoping it would bear more fruit next time.

The same applies to these two trees.

That leaves only one glutinous rice tree and two osmanthus trees. We'll postpone the harvesting time a bit, since there's already a lot of fruit available lately. It would be more appropriate to pick them in June.

As for Little Longhair, it was catching grasshoppers nearby.

A tiny, fluffy ball of fur, bouncing and hopping around.

Chen Jingle ignored it; it was quite clever now and wouldn't run around, so he wasn't worried about it ruining the vegetable garden.

On the contrary, they hope it will grow up quickly and help drive away birds or pheasants that steal vegetables.

"Speaking of birds, we still need to train a bird to help guard the orchard. The little long-feathered bird is too small. It will take at least two months for it to grow up."

Chen Jingle frowned.

But then another question arises: what kind of bird should I keep?

It's important to know that most animals in China are now protected, even sparrows, let alone others.

Headache!

　I'm coming.
