Chapter 195 Taking a Bath Together



The car dealer called someone to bring a large hoverboard to pick up the car. While waiting, he couldn't help but probe Zhao Xiaoxiu in various ways, asking if her family still had half-price evolution potions for sale.

Zhao Xiaoxiu smiled innocently: "I don't know, but I can ask for you when Dad comes back."

Overjoyed, the two quickly exchanged contact information and asked Zhao Xiaoxiu to let them know if there was any news.

Before leaving, he gritted his teeth and bought two pounds of fresh, evolved tomatoes from Zhao Xiaoxiu to please her.

One pound costs 800 points, even after a 20% discount, which is almost the price of a car. The two of them were heartbroken.

These evolved tomatoes are really delicious! I'll treat them as a source of vitamins.

After finishing the business, it got dark. When Zhao Xiaoxiu and Xiwa returned to the reclaimed land, Granny Meng and her two children had already cleared all the planned wasteland and were packing up their farm tools to go home.

It's still quite messy; I need to tidy it up carefully for a whole day tomorrow before it's suitable for planting vegetables.

The monkey sister was covered in dirt, and as soon as she saw Zhao Xiaoxiu, she pounced on her, squeaking, "Little one, praise me for how hard I worked today!"

Zhao Xiaoxiu felt a cloud of dust descend upon her from above, and she quickly held her breath, almost suffocating.

Little Baby didn't dare to confront the evolved macaques, so he could only stand by and try to warn them with "hey hey".

Meng Er couldn't help but laugh. He couldn't believe how this green-haired guy had survived in the Green Wilderness Alliance, being so cowardly.

"Sister Monkey, you're covered in dirt, you're filthy!" Zhao Xiaoxiu struggled to get down, grabbed one of Sister Monkey's paws, and dragged her home to take a bath.

Hearing Meng Er's laughter, Zhao Xiaoxiu also glanced at Xiwa suspiciously. He used to dare to rob her, but now he seems like a completely different person.

Xiwa smiled sheepishly, not wanting to explain that he was actually a bully who preyed on the weak. He eagerly brushed the dirt off Zhao Xiaoxiu's collar and asked with concern, "Are you alright, little aunt?"

"Of course it's fine." Zhao Xiaoxiu shook the furry monkey paw in her hand. "Sister Monkey is very docile."

Meek? Little Child wondered if there was something wrong with his ears.

Otherwise, how could he have heard his aunt say that the macaque in front of him, which twisted people's heads off and used them as melons, was docile?

"By the way, why were those two car dealers acting so strangely? What happened to my dad? And what happened to Territory 13?" Zhao Xiaoxiu asked.

"What's wrong?" Granny Meng and her two children all looked over at once, their eyes filled with displeasure, thinking that Xiwa had said something inappropriate in front of the children.

The little boy was so startled by the stares of the mother and her two children that he almost broke out in a cold sweat. He quickly explained what had happened that afternoon when he sold the car.

After hearing this, the Meng family mother and son suddenly realized what it was all about.

"But Xiaoxiu, don't you know?" Granny Meng asked in surprise.

Zhao Xiaoxiu blinked blankly. What did she know? Her expression looked dazed.

Everyone suddenly realized that the child had been staying at home since the incident, either taking care of her fish soup or tending to her fruit trees and crops, and had not had any opportunity to hear the rumors from the outside world.

As for the adults, because she was usually so precocious, they subconsciously assumed that what they knew, she must also know, and surprisingly, none of them ever mentioned the current situation outside to the family.

So the mother, her two children, and their younger sibling explained the current situation outside and the delicate relationship between the Green Field Alliance and the Plantation after Steven's death.

Zhao Xiaoxiu and Sister Monkey were dumbfounded after hearing this.

"Sector B has become an absolute no-go zone?"

Everyone nodded.

"The whole world knows that Steven died on my property?"

Everyone nodded.

Zhao Xiaoxiu swallowed hard and asked again, "Dad has a bad reputation and is known as a big shot by others?"

Everyone nodded again, saying in unison, "Yes, that's right!"

Zhao Xiaoxiu suddenly felt that the stars in the sky were spinning, and she felt a little dizzy.

He quickly shook his head to clear his mind and said seriously, "Okay, then everything that happened this afternoon makes sense."

"Let's go, Monkey Sister, you still need to take a bath." Zhao Xiaoxiu took the still-stunned Monkey Sister's hand, strode to the well, turned on the tap, and picked up the hose to pour water on her.

The monkey sister jumped up with a "whoosh!" It's so cold! Does the baby want to freeze to death?

Zhao Xiaoxiu quickly apologized and turned off the tap. She had been lost in thought and forgotten that the well water she had just drawn was refreshingly cold.

Monkey Sister's fur was all wet, and when the wind blew, she immediately sneezed violently, spraying Zhao Xiaoxiu's face with saliva.

Zhao Xiaoxiu: "......"

Grandma Meng followed along, still worried. When she saw the disheveled monkey and the child, she was surprised that she felt no emotion at all.

Maybe it's just a habit.

"These two silly children." Granny Meng shook her head, both amused and exasperated, and told them to hurry into the kitchen. She then brought over the wood that Zhao Gang had chopped from the woodshed and quickly started a fire to boil a pot of water.

"Xiaoxiu, you need to wash up too." Granny Meng glanced at the little guy's messy, dusty hair with disdain and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

The baby and the monkey, unusually well-behaved, squatted down and waited for Grandma Meng to boil the water, divide it into portions, and then they went into the bathroom together to take a bath.

"Grandma, I'll wash myself." Zhao Xiaoxiu held the towel in one hand and pushed Grandma Meng out with the other.

"This child is shy," Granny Meng asked worriedly. "Can he wash his own hair?"

The toilet door was already closed, and a loud voice came from inside: "Yes!"

Fine. At worst, we'll just wash it all over again when Zhao Gang gets back.

Granny Meng heated another pot of water on the stove before going home.

This was the first time Zhao Xiaoxiu and Sister Hou had taken a bath together. The bathroom in the self-built house in the countryside was very spacious, at least that's what Zhao Xiaoxiu had always thought.

But today there was an extra sturdy macaque. Zhao Xiaoxiu, small as she was, stood alone in a corner, while the rest of the place was occupied by the monkey.

Sister Monkey was overjoyed, having already forgotten that the cub had just poured cold well water on her. She scooped up the hot water from her bucket and poured it over Zhao Xiaoxiu's head, squeaking happily.

Zhao Xiaoxiu looked up at the curtain of water dripping from the roots of her bangs, a smile inexplicably appearing on her lips.

After watering her for a while, Sister Monkey squatted down and forcefully shoved the monkey head in front of Zhao Xiaoxiu, making her water herself too.

Zhao Xiaoxiu smiled knowingly, secretly reached into the niche and picked up the water ladle, quickly scooping up a large ladle of hot water and "splashing!" pouring it onto the furry monkey head in front of her.

Caught off guard, Sister Monkey was startled. Realizing her cub's mischief, she turned around and splashed a handful of water onto Zhao Xiaoxiu's face.

Zhao Xiaoxiu cried out "Ah!" but her voice trailed off with a laugh. Not to be outdone, she quickly splashed another ladle of hot water on him, forgetting all about taking a bath. They started playing a water fight, splashing each other with water.

When Zhao Gang returned home, a monkey and a baby were having a great time playing in the bathroom. The room was filled with the girl's laughter and the monkey's cheerful squeaking.

Zhao Gang's cold expression melted instantly. He didn't disturb them and quietly took the cub's dirty clothes to the backyard to wash them.

We'll wait until she's had enough fun, then wash her again with the hot water that Granny Meng left on the stove.
