At noon, Yin Lan rested for a while and sat at the entrance of the greenhouse, watching Sister Monkey, under Zhao Xiaoxiu's persuasion, huff and puff as she broke poplar branches into short firewood.

Of course, the little girl herself was also working hard with an axe, her posture and movements making her look quite fierce.

When they get tired, the baby and the monkey will stop to eat something, such as persimmons or crispy, salty loach meat fried by Zhao Gang.

The child is energetic in his work and eats well, which makes Yin Lan, who is childless by choice, feel the urge to have a child herself.

However, it was just a momentary impulse. The reality is that most children born nowadays are not healthy, and it is also very difficult to conceive.

The base has always encouraged women to have children and offers corresponding bonuses and benefits.

Unfortunately, the birth rate remains very low.

It's unclear when biotech companies will be able to develop a fully immune viral vaccine.

Thinking about all these random thoughts, when the break ended, Yin Lan drank two big gulps of hot water and then called Zhao Gang to come inside and continue working.

Wiring the entire house is no easy task, so Yin Lan brought her own laptop for work, equipped with a high-capacity power bank, which was enough for her to use for two or three days when she was away.

She first created the wiring diagram based on the house data and requirements provided by Zhao Gang. Only after both parties confirmed that there were no errors did she begin construction.

These houses in Territory 13 look alright, but their actual quality is really poor.

Concealed wiring requires cutting grooves, which would damage the walls. Yin Lan felt this was unsafe and suggested running exposed wiring throughout the house.

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

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

Fortunately, Yin Lan was well-prepared, wearing goggles and a helmet, and successfully completed the wiring installation for the entire house without any major incidents.

With the addition of the electrical control device with interlocking switches, Yin Lan worked from the afternoon until 1:30 a.m. to complete the wiring for the entire two-story house plus the roof, the fourteen rooms of all sizes, and the front and back of the house.

After finishing her work in the early hours of the morning, Yin Lan took a sip of potato-flavored nutrient solution kindly provided by Zhao Xiaoxiu, and fell asleep as soon as she was tired. She no longer had the energy to be afraid of the dark, overgrown weeds all around her.

As soon as my alarm went off at seven in the morning, I immediately got up and continued installing the last of the lights, switches, and sockets.

Fearing that the layman Zhao Gang might get electrocuted, she took full responsibility for the entire process herself.

I was busy until noon, and finally finished.

The moment Yin Lan turned on the main power switch and all the lights in the house came on, Zhao Xiaoxiu couldn't help but cheer.

"It's so bright! Daddy, we have a light now!" Zhao Xiaoxiu jumped up excitedly, and Zhao Gang easily scooped her up onto his shoulder.

With a sense of accomplishment, Yin Lan put her hands on her hips and said, "Let's test all the switches and sockets to see if there are any problems."

"Mmm!" Zhao Xiaoxiu patted her father's head impatiently. The father and daughter started from the top floor and went down, carrying a phone charger, and tried all the switches and sockets.

None of them had any problems; the switches were very sensitive, and the charging in the sockets was stable.

Yesterday afternoon and this morning, we stored a total of 15 kilowatt-hours of electricity using solar power. Now, as soon as the main switch is turned on, the house is automatically powered on.

Yin Lan chose 30-watt light bulbs, which consume little power and provide stable light without flickering or changing brightness.

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

Yin Lan looked at the sky; it was gray and overcast, looking like dusk even at midday.

Although the planting area is quiet, it's still better to have your own doghouse.

Having completed her mission, Yin Lan was eager to return home. She coughed twice to attract the excited father and daughter to look in her direction.

"I've explained everything I can about the follow-up precautions. Here's my phone number; feel free to contact me anytime if you have any questions. Now I plan to head back to the city while I still have time."

Zhao Xiaoxiu exclaimed, "Huh?"

The house has been lively these past few days, which she enjoys. Now that she knows Yin Lan is leaving soon, she's a little taken aback.

Zhao Gang calculated the time in his mind. By the time he returned after sending Yin Lan back to the city, it was already dark.

But returning the person and the car sooner would save him trouble and points.

"Then you get ready, I'll go prepare the car." Zhao Gang nodded to Yin Lan as he squatted down to speak to his daughter.

"Xiaoxiu, please wait at home for Daddy to come home, okay?"

It was already dark when they returned, and the temperature was low. He didn't want his child to suffer like that.

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

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

Hearing this, the little girl's disappointed eyes lit up instantly. She quickly ran to the back of the house and shouted for Sister Monkey. The two of them chattered away and then ran back quickly to say:

"My sister said she wanted some yogurt, and so did I. Two trays each. And... Dad, if you see any delicious and cheap ingredients or snacks, could you bring them back for me too?"

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

First, fill up the van with gas and drive it to the door. Help put Yin Lan's luggage and tools into the van, and then take the cold weapons collected in the storage room. After entering the city, take them to the recycling station to sell them for points.

After getting ready, Yin Lan happily sat in the passenger seat with a pound of smoked loach meat that she had bought for 100 points, and made sure to fasten her seatbelt.

Knowing that Zhao Xiaoxiu also raises fish in her pond, before setting off, he reminded the little girl, "When you're taking the fish out, remember to save a few for Auntie!"

"If Auntie receives any new animated film resources, she'll save a copy for you too."

Zhao Xiaoxiu: "Okay, I'll call Auntie next year when the fish are fattened up."

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

The van quickly drove away from the planting area.

Zhao Xiaoxiu watched the car until it was out of sight before returning to the house.

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

The older monkey came running over, squeaking, and looked at the excited baby with a puzzled expression in her eyes.

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

A folder pops up; you can open it using the remote control, and it contains hundreds of video and audio resources.

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

Seeing that Sister Monkey was still standing there in a daze, I patted the empty seat next to me and let it sit down. Then I leaned my small body against Sister Monkey's furry back, making it the perfect viewing spot.

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