Wasteland Farming, Manual for Raising Human Cubs

Chapter 116 Should Be Happy
There is one more thing Mo Shigui didn’t say.

That's because he is in a hurry. After the heavy snow passes and before the spring plowing officially begins, he has to mobilize the lords to carry out infrastructure construction. Of course, the more people the better.

Unfortunately, the base is now busy developing the newly captured Jiangcheng. Once winter is over, the number of personnel in his patrol station will be reduced by one third, from the original thirty to twenty.

This news has been confirmed and there is no possibility of change. So Mo Shigui also told Zhao Gang this news, hoping that he could understand his difficulties.

"How long will they stay?" Zhao Gang asked with a frown.

Mo Shigui: "We'll move away when the snow melts."

Zhao Gang: "How much is the rental subsidy?"

Mo Shigui: "100 points per household."

"When will you come?" Zhao Gang asked again.

His lack of rebuttal was tantamount to acquiescence. The heavy stone that had been weighing on Mo Shigui's heart finally fell to the ground, and he said with some trepidation:
"We'll be there tomorrow morning. If you're not busy, can we go pick him up halfway?"

Zhao Gang: "Okay, I'll take Xiaoxiu with me."

If Kosode meets people of the same age, she would probably be happy, right?

Zhao Gang thought silently in his heart that he would not tell his own cub the news yet, and would give her a surprise when the time comes.

Mo Shigui immediately said: "Then I will pick you up tomorrow."

Zhao Gang nodded and said nothing more.

The patrol station was not far away and they arrived there in a short drive. Zhao Gang backed the truck in and waited for Mo Shigui and others to move all the things before going home immediately.

It was completely dark now, the temperature felt two or three degrees lower than it had been during the day, and the snow continued to fall.

A charcoal basin was burning at home, and the doors and windows kept the cold wind out. Zhao Xiaoxiu didn't feel cold even though she was wearing a hat or scarf. She sat in the living room on the second floor with Sister Monkey and watched TV.

Hearing the noise coming from downstairs, Zhao Xiaoxiu called out "Dad". After getting a response, he hung Monkey Sister's long arms on his shoulders, snuggled in its warm fur and continued to watch TV with peace of mind.

After a while, a fragrance wafted from the kitchen downstairs, successfully attracting the monkey and the baby, who turned off the TV and ran downstairs.

"Dad, what are you doing?" Zhao Xiaoxiu moved closer to the stove, stood on tiptoe and stretched her neck to see what was in the pot.

Perhaps because he thought she was in the way, he was ruthlessly pulled away by a tentacle as soon as he approached.

Zhao Xiaoxiu was so angry that she hit the top of the flesh with her little fist, but she couldn't break free. She stared at the tentacle and had to sit obediently at the dining table.

Zhao Gang kept working, and took the time to turn around and explain: "I'll stew the melon seeds and peanuts I bought last time, dry them, and then stir-fry them. They'll be delicious."

Zhao Xiaoxiu exclaimed in anticipation, and was reluctant to leave after smelling the aroma, so she sat in the restaurant to accompany her father.

Sister Monkey scratched her head out of boredom and continued to run upstairs to watch TV.

It is very smart. After seeing Zhao Xiaoxiu operate it a few times, it learned how to turn on the TV and how to select movies with the remote control.

Since I have never seen a TV before, it is still new to me.

Zhao Xiaoxiu is completely different. She felt fresh at the beginning, but now she doesn’t feel anything special.

Sitting at the dining table bored, Zhao Xiaoxiu took out the Butterfly Double Blades, wiped them carefully with a clean cloth, and glanced threateningly at the two bloody tentacles in front of his face.

It makes me happy to see them baring their teeth at me but not daring to actually attack me.

Zhao Gang liked his cub's cocky look the most. He mentioned that the new lord would be coming tomorrow, but he concealed the specific situation of the two lords.

It was only said that the two new lords had to temporarily rent an empty house on their own territory.

"That's great!" Zhao Xiaoxiu stood up from the chair excitedly, holding the knife in both hands, making a knife flower, and asked curiously:
"Dad, how long will they stay here? Are those dilapidated houses next to our house really habitable? I don't know if they have prepared enough supplies for the winter. What if they freeze to death?"

Zhao Gang felt that his cub was worrying too much, so he said indifferently: "Mo Shigui arranged it, and he will be responsible if anything goes wrong."

"Oh, so that's it." Zhao Xiaoxiu hummed twice and felt relieved.

Zhao Gang’s peanuts and melon seeds have just been braised, and they still need to be cooked for an hour before they can fully absorb the flavor.

He covered the pot and kept it simmering. Seeing Zhao Xiaoxiu still excitedly playing with the knife, he asked the tentacles to take down the storybook, paper and pen, and patted the low stool next to the stove, "Xiaoxiu, sit down."

When Zhao Xiaoxiu saw this, she knew that a new day of learning characters had arrived.

With a sigh, he reluctantly put down his small double swords, sat on a low stool, and watched his father and his tentacles perform a situational drama.

Zhao Xiaoxiu now knows more than 300 characters, and today Zhao Gang changed his learning to idioms.

After learning five idioms and seeing that Zhao Xiaoxiu had successfully memorized them, he nodded with satisfaction and let her go upstairs to sleep.

"Dad, what about you?" Zhao Xiaoxiu asked.

Zhao Gang pointed to the peanuts and melon seeds being marinated in the pot. He still had to be busy for another hour, so he asked Zhao Xiaoxiu to go to bed first.

Zhao Xiaoxiu yawned repeatedly and said nothing more. She followed her blood to the bedroom to rest.

There were already tentacles in the bed, warming it up with a glass bottle filled with hot water. Zhao Xiaoxiu crawled into the bed and felt warm, and soon fell asleep.

Sister Monkey was so engrossed in watching TV that she didn't want to leave. However, she was threatened by two tentacles to turn off the TV. She ran back to the greenhouse to sleep in shame.

Tentacles: No one can disturb the cubs’ sleep!

The next day, when the alarm rang at six o'clock, Zhao Xiaoxiu quickly jumped out of bed.

While yawning, he quickly put on his clothes, tiptoed, stretched out his little hand to touch the blood-red ball hanging on the ceiling, and ran downstairs quickly.

When Sister Monkey heard the noise in the house, she ran out of the greenhouse with two poplar wood stakes in her arms and placed them at the door.

Zhao Xiaoxiu walked out with a knife in his hand, but was blinded by the wind and snow. He quickly hid in a sheltered place before he could open his eyes.

"There's so much snow~" Zhao Xiaoxiu exclaimed.

A few days ago, you could still see some exposed brown land and blue-gray hillsides.

Now, at a glance, all you can see is white. A thick layer of snow covers the ground, and you can't see the road at all.

A thin layer of ice had formed on the surface of the pond, and on top of it was all snow, completely connected to the land, making it impossible to distinguish between them.

Only the flowing river could still reveal a little shimmering light.

Fortunately, there were only three of them in the territory, otherwise Zhao Xiaoxiu would be worried that someone would not be able to see the road clearly and fall into the pond.

Sister Monkey knocks on the wooden stake to remind the cubs that it is time for training.

Zhao Xiaoxiu chuckled, put away his distracting thoughts, raised his two swords, and completed the daily basic training assigned by his master - swinging the swords left and right a hundred times.

The first wooden stake was smashed into pieces because the force was not controlled well.

The second time it was completed successfully, and at the end I chopped one more time and brought the split wood stump back to the kitchen for burning.

After finishing the morning class, Zhao Xiaoxiu took the initiative to call her master to report.

At seven o'clock, Zhao Gang got up and heated a bag of nutrient solution for Zhao Xiaoxiu to fill her stomach. The father and daughter and Sister Monkey picked up a shovel and shoveled snow while waiting for Mo Shi to come back.
