Wasteland Farming, Manual for Raising Human Cubs

Chapter 152: Falling on the Onion

Meng Da and Meng Er felt embarrassed by the praise from the father and daughter, and they were completely different from the way they were when facing the lords.

Zhao Gang remembered a saying among humans: If you want a horse to run, you have to feed it grass.

So he generously divided half of the "good things" sent by the lords in front of him between the two brothers.

The two looked at each other in surprise and were very satisfied with this distribution ratio.

In fact, they were not very valuable things, just some nutrient solution, half a sausage, a bar of soap, a roll of toilet paper, a few gasoline lighters and the like.

It’s far from the complete set of power tools that Yang Mei had sent over.

But Zhao Xiaoxiu and his daughter and the two brothers of the Meng family were very satisfied. After all, no one would complain about having too many daily consumables, they just felt that they were not enough.

As the lords were anxiously waiting for the result, Meng Da's representative Zhao Gang announced, "Brother Gangzi said that we are all neighbors and it is not easy for everyone, so he negotiated with the biological company. Now each lord in the territory can send one person to go to the construction site with us."

The lords were surprised and delighted, and felt that their gifts were not in vain.

In early February, the day the construction started, Yang Mei learned the whole process from her assistant and felt extremely complicated.

This Zhao Gang is really not polite at all!
But then I thought, this is Xiaoxiu's biological father, if it is counted as the cost of the research project, it is just a tiny amount. I felt relieved instantly.

The weather has been clearing up for several days and the snow on the ground is melting rapidly.

The base announcer excitedly announced that winter was over and spring had arrived.

Zhao Gang became a contractor, going out early and coming back late every day, and he didn't even have time to take care of his children.

Sister Monkey treated Zhao Xiaoxiu as her own personal pendant and took her with her wherever she went. Wherever Zhao Xiaoxiu went, she would take the initiative to hang the baby on her shoulders and accompany her.

The snow melted and turned into water, dripping down from the eaves, making a continuous sound. The big snowman and slide that we built before melted down in a few days and became limp.

When her father was not at home, Zhao Xiaoxiu was not idle at all. She directed Sister Hou to clear out all the melted snow at the door. She also took a small shovel, shoveled the snow onto the floating board, and transported it out one trip at a time.

But even so, it was still faster than the speed of rising temperature. Except for the place where there was some residual cement at the door, the rest of the area became muddy.

It’s still better if there is someone guarding the doorstep, but the situation outside the yard is really bad.

Zhao Xiaoxiu would walk for two minutes in her rain boots and come back with her feet covered in mud. The mud was so heavy that she couldn't even move her legs.

The only thing that made Zhao Xiaoxiu happy was that a green mutant rapeseed seedling and the thick roots and leaves of evolved potatoes were revealed on the two melted plots of land.

The evolved tomatoes in the greenhouse have fully matured. Zhao Xiaoxiu can pick a small bowl of them every day. In total, she has half a basket of tomatoes stored in the refrigerator.

Zhao Gang washed half of the evolved tomatoes and froze them so that they could be stored for a longer time. When he wanted to eat them in the future, he could take out a few and throw them into boiling water. The sweet and sour hot tomato soup would be ready soon.

Zhao Xiaoxiu and Sister Monkey finished shoveling the snowman and slide they had built earlier, and carrying a small hoe, they prepared to go to the back mountain to check on the two mutant dates they had planted earlier.

The plants in the entire territory have been very restless recently. Zhao Xiaoxiu didn’t know whether others could sense it, but she could hear the rustling sound of the mutated plants growing wildly underground every night before she fell asleep.

Zhao Xiaoxiu is now worried that the jujube seedlings she planted will be eaten by mutant animals, so she wants to add some special fertilizer to them to prevent them from being bullied by other mutants and causing them to die early.

In the entire territory, apart from her father, Sister Monkey is the monkey that Zhao Xiaoxiu trusts the most.

So when Zhao Xiaoxiu watered each of the two jujube seedlings with a drop of blood, she did not avoid it at all.

Practice makes perfect. Now Zhao Xiaoxiu is very skilled at biting the skin on his fingers with his teeth.

Sometimes she even has to take an extra bite because the wound heals so quickly. It still hurts a little, but she is no longer afraid of the pain.

Two drops of bright red blood dripped from the child's delicate fingertips. As soon as they touched the soil, tree roots as thin as hair immediately emerged and "whoosh" sucked up the two drops of blood, leaving no trace at all.

Sister Monkey witnessed the whole process. She tilted her head in surprise to look at the cub squatting beside her, and then looked at the two emerald green jujube seedlings that were shaking as if they were excited. Her big monkey eyes were full of confusion.

What is the cub doing?
Zhao Xiaoxiu held up the wound that had not yet fully healed, her eyes flickering, "Sister Monkey, do you want to have some?"

The monkey face immediately revealed an expression of horror and disgust, jumped back two meters, and shook its head wildly.

The cub's blood looked so scary, just like Zhao Gang, which made it afraid.

This reaction was totally beyond Zhao Xiaoxiu's expectations. When the mutants saw her blood, they all showed greed and desire. Why did Sister Monkey look like she had seen a ghost?

"Don't you want it?" Zhao Xiaoxiu asked in confusion.

Sister Monkey swung her arms wildly, retreat, retreat, retreat!

Zhao Xiaoxiu was very disappointed. She put her hand, whose wound had completely healed, in her pocket and said, "Okay."

The monkey and the baby acted coquettishly and asked the monkey sister to help clean up the weeds growing next to the jujube seedlings. Then the monkey and the baby went home happily.

Too much joy turns to sorrow. I ran too fast and my rain boots got stuck in the heavy mud and I couldn't pull them out. My body fell forward by inertia, face down, into the mud.

Maybe the accident happened without any ripples, Sister Monkey was stunned for a moment before she reacted. She calmly stretched out her monkey claws to grab Chaotian’s two little feet and pulled her out.

The cub was still a little slow to react. It stared at it blankly with its muddy face for a long time. Suddenly, its face fell, its mouth flattened, and it howled, "Woo--".

Sister Monkey was so frightened that she covered Zhao Gang's mouth for fear that he would find out, and picked up Zhao Xiaoxiu, who was covered in mud, and ran home.

"Kosode! What's wrong with you?!"

Granny Meng was spreading coal slag mixed with sawdust on the open space in front of the two houses, hoping to make it easier for everyone to walk. Unexpectedly, when she looked up, she saw Sister Monkey coming back with a small clay figurine. Her heart tightened.

Sister Monkey bared her teeth at Grandma Meng, asking her to stop blocking her, then picked up Zhao Xiaoxiu and rushed to the kitchen.

Can Granny Meng trust these two unreliable people?
He quickly put down the dustpan full of coal slag in his hand and trotted after him.

Sister Monkey filled the large iron pot on the stove with water, stripped Zhao Xiaoxiu naked, and prepared to throw her naked into the pot for a bath.

"Oh my God!"

Granny Meng was almost frightened to the point of having a heart attack. She quickly stopped Monkey Sister from making a fuss and took Zhao Xiaoxiu from Monkey Sister’s arms and wrapped her in her arms.

Unexpectedly, the little guy in her arms seemed to have his funny bone hit, and laughed and said to her: "Hahaha, grandma, Sister Monkey is stewing me in an iron pot!"

If possible, Grandma Meng really wanted to slap this bare butt hard.

Give that vicious monkey a big kick that lacks common sense.

"That's cold water. How can a child bear it? He will definitely get frozen." Grandma Meng said unhappily.

Sister Monkey originally had a fierce look on her face, but when she heard what Granny Meng said, she scratched her cheeks guiltily. It turns out that human babies can't take cold showers.
