Wasteland Farming, Manual for Raising Human Cubs

Chapter 98 Planting Jujube

However, Peter Pan seemed a little resistant to Monkey Sister's arrival.

It had been circling above Zhao Xiaoxiu's head, staring at Sister Monkey with hostility, as if it was vying for her favor.

Unfortunately, Sister Monkey didn't realize the hostility of the big fish at all. She sniffed the tempting aroma of meat, and her eyes lit up.

The monkey's claws pulled Zhao Xiaoxiu excitedly and forgot to control the strength, almost pulling her into the water.

Thanks to the little flying fish that activated the suspension magnetic field in time, Zhao Xiaoxiu did not fall.

Zhao Xiaoxiu stood firmly on the shore and glared at the culprit unhappily.

Sister Monkey scratched her head apologetically and continued to point in the direction where the fragrance came from - home.

He slurped his saliva, looking anxious.

Zhao Xiaoxiu also smelled it, it was the aroma of grilled fish.

Even without saying it out loud, her father knew that she and Sister Monkey were thinking about eating fish.

Zhao Xiaoxiu quickly waved goodbye to Peter Pan, then turned around and ran home.

"Daddy smells so good!"

The voice arrives before the person.

Zhao Xiaoxiu and Sister Hou rushed into the kitchen breathlessly and immediately saw two charcoal-grilled black-back fish on the dining table.

Zhao Gang was cleaning the mutant loach. There was a lot of loach meat, more than 40 kilograms. Zhao Gang planned to keep some for a meal tonight and make the rest into smoked meat for his daughter.

Hearing the excited movement behind him, he turned around and said with a smile: "Take it out and eat it. The kitchen smells fishy."

"Squeak!" Sister Monkey rushed to the dining table happily.

"Thank you, Dad!" Zhao Xiaoxiu quickly caught up with Sister Monkey with her grilled fish.

A monkey and a child brought out a small stool and sat at the gate. They held a plate of grilled fish bigger than their faces in their hands. They smiled happily at each other and ate it with their hands.

The two patrol soldiers who were still on the side of the road suddenly smelled an enticing aroma. They looked towards the source of the aroma and saw a child and a monkey sitting at the door, holding grilled fish in both hands and eating with their mouths full of oil.

The fish scales had been removed in advance, the fish skin was roasted crispy over a high fire, and the two fat pieces of fish meat were marinated with seasonings for ten minutes in advance, and all kinds of flavors had already permeated into it.

Even the big fish bones have been pulled out, leaving only the freshest and tenderest parts.

When you take a bite of the properly grilled fish, you will first feel the crispy fragrance of the fish skin, followed by the plump and fresh fish meat. The sweetness of the meat and the salty and crispy fish skin mixed together stimulate the taste buds crazily. It is so delicious that Monkey Sister almost cried.

Roar, roar, it has never eaten anything so delicious!
"Gulu~"

Zhao Xiaoxiu's ears twitched, as if she heard some strange sound.

The greasy little face was lifted from the plate, and the big eyes looked around. Oh, it turned out to be two patrolling soldiers on the roadside who were swallowing their saliva.

After figuring out the situation, Zhao Xiaoxiu continued to eat the grilled fish.

On the roadside, two patrolling soldiers struggled to turn their gaze away from the grilled fish and pretended to look at the sky, but they were actually about to cry with greed.

But before they could cry, three corpses on the roadside came to life, and three pairs of scarlet eyes looked at them excitedly, almost crying with greed.

Three gunshots rang out, "Bang, bang, bang", and Zhao Xiaoxiu, who was trying hard to eat, was startled.

Sister Monkey stood up suddenly, put down the empty plate angrily, rushed out a few meters, and shouted "Roar!" at the two people on the side of the road.

Two patrol soldiers: "."

Go! Why don’t they just go?
Sister Monkey successfully yelled the man away, turned back to the door, changed her expression drastically, and patted the cub gently: Don't be afraid.

Zhao Xiaoxiu raised her chin. She was not afraid. The patrol team treated the three bodies as White Walkers and successfully disposed of them. If it weren't for the guns and evolved persimmons brought back in the lobby on the first floor, everything would have been peaceful as if nothing had happened.

As the sun was setting, Zhao Gang continued to be busy installing the awning.

When I transported the materials to the roof in the morning, I remembered that solar photovoltaic panels also have the function of rainproofing and heat insulation, so I reserved one-third of the area without installing a canopy.

"Dad, can you build a canopy?" Zhao Xiaoxiu stood behind her father, looking at his busy back, and asked curiously.

Zhao Gang paused, nodded, frowned and said, "We are short of installation tools."

To build a canopy, you must first build the basic frame, connect all the parts, and weld the supporting steel frame. It is simply not enough to rely solely on your hands and a few tools.

Zhao Gang clapped his hands and stood up, told the cub to play by himself at home, and rode his bicycle out while it was still light.

Zhao Xiaoxiu looked at the direction and saw that he was heading towards the patrol station, so he should be going to the supply station to buy tools.

Having just eaten a large grilled fish, Zhao Xiaoxiu was not hungry at all now. She even felt a little full.

She searched her pocket and pulled out two mutant jujube seeds.

I almost forgot that I still haven’t planted the jujube seeds!

"Monkey Sister!"

Zhao Xiaoxiu rushed downstairs in a rage, came to the outside of the greenhouse, found Sister Monkey who was watering the evolving tomatoes and sunflowers, and showed her the seeds in her palm.

Sister Monkey also remembered, put down the watering can, turned around and found a small shovel in the storage rack, took the seeds and left the greenhouse, standing outside and looking around.

Finally, it was decided to plant the two seeds on the hillside behind the house.

Zhao Xiaoxiu took a small bucket, filled it with water, and followed.

Sister Monkey ran very fast. When Zhao Xiaoxiu staggered after her with a bucket of water in her hand, the two jujube seeds had already been planted.

Her water came just in time. Sister Monkey happily lowered her head and rubbed her cub's face with her head, then took the bucket and watered the two seeds that had just been planted.

The weather was cold, so it wasn't watered too much, and there was still more than half of the bucket of water left.

When I turned around to call the cub back home, I found her squatting on the ground picking up stones.

"Squeak?" What's that for? Sister Monkey looked at Zhao Xiaoxiu curiously.

Zhao Xiaoxiu said: "We fenced off the two seeds so that we won't be able to find them next time we come."

The elder monkey patted her head, thinking that it made sense, gave the cub a thumbs up, and ran to the side to help find stones.

There is nothing else on the barren mountain, only stones everywhere.

They soon found enough stones, and the man and the monkey built a stone fence twenty centimeters high and fifty centimeters in diameter around the seeds they had just planted.

After doing all this, Zhao Xiaoxiu clapped her hands, washed her hands with the remaining water in the bucket, and looked back at the stone fence, feeling a sense of accomplishment.

I hope the two seeds can germinate and grow successfully under the careful care of her and Sister Monkey.

"Sister Monkey, let's go home." Zhao Xiaoxiu shouted.

Sister Monkey nodded and took the initiative to pick up the bucket. She looked at Zhao Xiaoxiu, who was so small that she had to spread her arms to keep her balance like a penguin because she was wearing thick clothes, and she staggered on the wasteland. The monkey's eyes turned, she took a quick step, stretched out her claws, picked her up and put her into the bucket.

Zhao Xiaoxiu was startled at first, but when she found that the bucket could just accommodate her, she sat in the bucket with peace of mind and let the strong Monkey Sister carry her home.

There is still a faint glow in the sky, indicating that it will be sunny tomorrow.
