Wasteland Farming, Manual for Raising Human Cubs

Chapter 106 Watching TV

At noon, Yin Lan took a break and sat at the door of the greenhouse, watching Sister Monkey, under the instigation of Zhao Xiaoxiu, breaking the poplar branches into short pieces of firewood.

Of course, the little girl was also working hard with an axe in her hand, and she looked very fierce.

When they were tired, the boy and the monkey would stop to eat something, either persimmons or Zhao Gang's delicious fried loach meat.

The child works hard and eats with relish, which makes Yin Lan, a DINK, feel the urge to have a child.

But it was just a momentary impulse. The reality is that most children born nowadays are impaired and it is difficult to conceive.

The base has always encouraged women to have children actively, and provides corresponding bonuses and benefits.

Unfortunately, the birth rate is still very low.

It is also unknown when biological companies will be able to develop a complete immune virus vaccine.

Thinking about all these things, the break was over. Yin Lan took two big gulps of hot water and called Zhao Gang to go into the house to continue working.

Wiring the entire house is not an easy task. Yin Lan brought her own laptop for work, equipped with a large-capacity power bank, which is enough for use when she is away for two or three days.

She first made a line design drawing based on the house data and requirements provided by Zhao Gang, and only started construction after both parties confirmed that they were correct.

These houses in Territory No. 13 look good, but their quality is actually very poor.

Hidden wires require trenching, which will damage the walls. Yin Lan felt that this was unsafe and suggested using exposed wires throughout the house.

Although it looks a bit ugly with all the wires exposed, she can try to make it look better.

Even so, large pieces of wall paint may still suddenly fall off during the wiring process.

Fortunately, Yin Lan was well prepared. Wearing goggles and a helmet, she completed the laying of lines throughout the house without any danger.

In addition to the electrical control device for the interlocking switches, Yin Lan was busy from the afternoon until 1:30 in the morning before she completed the laying of circuits for the two floors and roof of the house, fourteen rooms of various sizes, as well as the front and back of the house.

After finishing her work in the early morning, Yin Lan took a drink of potato-flavored nutrient solution kindly provided by Zhao Xiaoxiu, and fell asleep immediately because she was so sleepy that she was no longer in the mood to be afraid of the dark wasteland around her.

As soon as the alarm rang at seven in the morning, I immediately got up to continue installing the final lights, switches, and sockets.

This time, she was afraid that the layman Zhao Gang would be electrocuted, so she was responsible for the whole process alone.

I worked until noon and finally finished the work.

When Yin Lan turned on the main power switch and all the lights in the house lit up, Zhao Xiaoxiu couldn't help but cheer out loud.

"It's so bright! Dad, we have electricity!" Zhao Xiaoxiu jumped up excitedly, and Zhao Gang reached out and easily carried the child onto his shoulders.

Yin Lan put her hands on her hips with a sense of accomplishment and said, "Try all the switches and sockets to see if there are any problems."

"Yeah!" Zhao Xiaoxiu couldn't wait to pat her father's head. The father and daughter started from the top floor and went down, bringing the mobile phone charger with them, and tried all the switches and sockets.

None of them had issues, the switches were responsive, and the sockets charged reliably.

Yesterday afternoon and this morning, we stored a total of 15 kWh of electricity through solar power generation. Now when the main switch is turned on, the house is automatically powered.

Yin Lan chose 30-watt light bulbs, which consume little power and provide stable light without flickering or being bright and dim at the same time.

The father and daughter looked around the whole house, and when they returned to the door, they couldn't help but look at each other happily. All those points were worth it!

Yin Lan looked at the sky. It was gray and looked like dusk even at noon.

Although this planting area is quiet, my own doghouse is better after all. The mission has been completed, Yin Lan is eager to go home, and she coughed twice to attract the excited father and daughter to look at her.

"I have explained everything I can about the follow-up precautions. I'll leave my phone number with you. You can contact me anytime if you have any questions. Now I plan to rush back to the city while there is still time."

Zhao Xiaoxiu exclaimed, “Ah?”

The house has been lively these past two days and she likes it very much. But now that she knows Yin Lan is leaving soon, she is a little overwhelmed.

Zhao Gang calculated the time in his mind. After sending Yin Lan back to the city, it would be dark when he returned.

But if he could return the person and the car earlier, he would save trouble and points.

"Then you pack up, I'll go get the car ready." Zhao Gang nodded to Yin Lan, then squatted down and said to his daughter:
"Xiaoxiu, can you wait for dad to come back at home?"

It was dark and the temperature was low on the way back, and he didn't want his child to suffer like that.

Zhao Xiaoxiu was a little disappointed that she couldn't go into the city to play, but she still agreed sensibly, "Then Dad, you have to come back early."

Zhao Gang nodded and asked with a smile, "What do you want Dad to bring back?"

Hearing this, the little girl's lost eyes suddenly brightened up, and she quickly rushed to the back of the house and called Sister Monkey. The two of them talked in a gibberish, then ran back quickly and said:

"Sister Monkey said she wanted yogurt, and so did I. Two plates each. And if you see any delicious and cheap ingredients or snacks, bring them back for me, okay?"

Zhao Gang carefully wrote down the cub's request, patted her little head, and went out.

First, he filled up the van with gas and drove to the door, then helped put Yin Lan's luggage and tools into the car, and took the cold weapons collected from the storage room. After entering the city, he took them to the recycling station and sold them for points.

After everything was packed, Yin Lan happily sat in the passenger seat, carrying a pound of smoked loach meat that she had bought for 100 points, and fastened her seat belt.

Knowing that Zhao Xiaoxiu still had fish in her pond, she reminded the girl before leaving: "When you catch the fish, remember to leave a few for Auntie!"

"If Auntie receives any new animation resources, I'll leave a copy for you."

Zhao Xiaoxiu: "Yeah, next year when the fish are fat, I'll call Auntie."

Yin Lan smiled with satisfaction, and then said to Zhao Gang: "Let's go."

The van quickly drove away from the planting area.

Zhao Xiaoxiu watched the car all the way until she could no longer see the shadow of the car, and then she returned to the house.

After closing the door to keep the cold wind out, the little girl turned around and called to Monkey Sister, who was still chopping wood, to run up to the master suite on the second floor.

Sister Monkey came over squeaking, looking at the inexplicably excited cub, her eyes full of confusion.

Zhao Xiaoxiu chuckled, plugged in the TV, turned on the TV, and inserted the hard drive connector.

A folder popped up and I opened it with the remote control. It contained hundreds of audio and video resources.

I randomly clicked on the first "Boonie Bears Movie", sat on the sofa covered with a blanket with anticipation, took off my shoes, wrapped myself in the blanket, and stared at the TV with my big eyes.

Seeing that Sister Monkey was still standing there in a daze, he patted the empty seat next to him and asked it to sit over. He then leaned his small body against Sister Monkey's furry back, creating a perfect viewing position.

A movie started playing on TV. Monkey Sister had never watched TV before, and suddenly she saw two brown bears appear. She was so excited that she almost stood up.
