Wasteland Farming, Manual for Raising Human Cubs

Chapter 156. Account sharing
When her father was not at home, Zhao Xiaoxiu felt very happy during the day. In the evening, after returning from planting persimmons, she drank a big bowl of tomato and bird egg soup made by Grandma Meng. Uncle Meng also played with her knives and guns for a while, and she was having a great time.

When she entered the bedroom at night, with the help of Sister Monkey, Zhao Xiaoxiu took off her pullover with great effort, changed into comfortable pajamas and lay down. She subconsciously turned over and tried to lean against something, but found nothing. Her mood suddenly took a turn for the worse.

"Woo daddy" the little girl rubbed her head against the pillow, feeling uncomfortable.

Sister Monkey wanted to turn off the light, but Zhao Xiaoxiu quickly shouted, "Don't turn it off! I want to sleep with the light on!"

The monkey sister made a funny face and laughed at the cub for being afraid of the dark and timid. But she honestly sat down on the bed, covered her with the quilt, closed her eyes, and slept together.

Zhao Xiaoxiu glanced weakly at the extra monkey paw prints and hair on the pure white bedding, and observed two seconds of silence for Sister Monkey in her heart.

When dad comes back, the tentacles responsible for cleaning will definitely be furious. I hope Sister Monkey can run faster by then.

Of course, she will also protect Sister Monkey~
Zhao Xiaoxiu thought about it for a while, then was hypnotized by Sister Monkey's snoring and gradually fell asleep.

It was already late at night when Zhao Gang and Meng Da returned.

As soon as the truck approached the territory, Zhao Xiaoxiu opened his eyes and woke up.

"Dad is back, Xiaoxiu, sleep a little longer." Zhao Gang's voice came from downstairs. Only then did Zhao Xiaoxiu close his eyes with peace of mind and continued to sleep on Monkey Sister's warm belly.

The tip of his nose wrinkled and sniffed unconsciously, muttering: "Monkey sister, you should take a bath."

A child and a monkey slept until the alarm rang, then they got up energetically and went downstairs to practice swordsmanship.

When Sister Monkey woke up, she found her own footprints and hair on the bedding. Without waiting for the tentacles to notice, she patted Zhao Xiaoxiu's head and ran away.

Zhao Xiaoxiu laughed and practiced with the sword while watching his father and Uncle Meng settling accounts in the pavilion at the door.

Meng Er couldn't hold on any longer and went back to his room to catch up on his sleep, so Meng Da took over the rest of the notification work.

The medicine was sold for 15,000 Taoyuan points, and the lords' salaries were settled. Meng Da began to notify the lords to come and collect their salaries.

Those who have a phone call can make one, and those who don’t can notify on the public channel of the intercom. The lords who received the message came one after another to collect their own salary.

After the salary was paid, there were still 2175 points left out of points.

Zhao Gang then paid 675 points of basic salary to each of the two Meng brothers, and the remaining 825 Taoyuan points were his own basic salary.

As for the remaining medical fungi at home, they are worth at least ten thousand.

Zhao Gang kept half of this batch of fungi for himself, and with the remaining half he asked the two people whether they wanted fungi or base points.

Meng Damang said embarrassedly: "We still owed you, Brother Gangzi, 6,000 points for starting up the medical cabin. The remaining fungus is worth about 5,000 points, so you don't have to give it to us."

"This way, I only have one thousand points left. When the second brother and I go hunting in the mountains, I'll return them to you when we have more points."

At this point, Meng's face turned red. If it weren't for Brother Gangzi taking them to the construction site and generously distributing so many medical fungi to them, it would take him and his brother a long time to pay off the debt.

Originally Meng Da and his younger brother had discussed that if Zhao Gang gave them two shares of the profits this time, they would not take it.

But my mother said that there can be no order without rules, and we can’t be muddle-headed. Points are points, and favors are favors. Paying back the points doesn’t mean the favors are settled. Only by truly helping each other can we live up to the friendship between the two families.

Meng Da then said embarrassedly that he would use the medical fungi he had received to pay off his debt.

Zhao Gang didn't think as much as they did. He said, "Okay."

"I'm going to buy an electric water pump. You guys can contribute a penny and we can use it together." Zhao Gang said. Meng Da was surprised and agreed, "Okay! I'll go back and discuss with my brother. We can also install a water tower at home."

Zhao Gang pointed to the pipes covered with tarpaulin on the side of the house, "I have extra water pipes at home, 10 points per meter, do you want them?"

"That's great, thank you Brother Gangzi!" Meng Da couldn't wait to go home and wake up his brother to measure.

Once the water towers and water pipes are laid out, you won’t have to go to the river again and again to fetch water, which will save a lot of trouble.

When Zhao Xiaoxiu finished her daily morning exercises, Meng Er was already called up by his brother to install water pipes with a resentful look on his face, and he didn't forget to make a face at her.

Zhao Xiaoxiu was not willing to be outdone and also made a face in return: "Lululu~"

"What are you doing?" Sheng Qingyang strode in and asked with a smile.

Zhao Xiaoxiu turned around in surprise and shouted "Master", only then he realized that Aji from the patrol station was following his master.

"Brother Aji?" Zhao Xiaoxiu looked at him curiously and asked, "Are you here to see my dad?"

Aji smiled at the little girl, moved the water pump on the truck bed to the floating board, and said, "I'm here to deliver supplies to you."

Zhao Gang called Meng Da to come forward and check the water pump and the two sets of filter elements that they had specially purchased. They were very satisfied with the delivery speed and quality of the patrol station.

"The total is 1800 points, a set of filters is 200, and the refurbished pump is the same as a new one, and the price is only half of a new one, so 1400 is enough."

Aji handed over the card swiping machine specially used in the supply station. Zhao Gang asked Meng Da to transfer his 1800 Taoyuan points, and then he swiped Hope Points for Aji at one time.

The balance on Zhao Gang’s points card is 7200 Hope points and 1425 Taoyuan points.

Aji collected the money and left. Sheng Qingyang looked at Zhao Gang and his men who were busy and asked, "Are you planning to pump water from the river?"

Meng Er rushed to answer: "Yes, it is too inconvenient to go to the river to fetch water every day."

Sheng Qingyang looked at the distance between the river and the house. The nearest point was one thousand meters. He expressed concern about the materials needed for this distance.

However, seeing Zhao Gang's confident look, she did not say much. She led her little apprentice to the backyard, erected wooden stakes to teach her new things, and checked her recent practice results.

Meng Er stared at the person all the way until he was completely blocked by the house, then he looked away with a silly smile.

As a result, when he looked up, he was met with the disdainful eyes of his brother and Zhao Gang.

Meng Er puffed out his chest in dissatisfaction, "What are you looking at! Get to work!"

We don’t even know where to get the one thousand meters of electrical wires and water pipes. Instead of keeping an eye on him, we might as well find a way to get water and electricity.

Zhao Gang didn't have to worry about electrical wires, as he could buy cheap electrical wires from Yin Lan. He set up a linkage switch himself and could control the water pump switch at home.

The water pipes are a bit difficult to deal with. It is not easy to buy them at Taoyuan Base, so I may have to go to Jiangcheng.

Or they can dig underground in abandoned residential areas and piece them together themselves.

Meng Er stared at the ground and asked tentatively: "How about we dig a well ourselves?"

"Dig a well?" Zhao Gang raised his eyebrows, scanned the ground in front and behind the house, and smiled slightly: "This seems to be a good idea."
