Zhao Gang walked ahead carrying the rabbit, while Zhao Xiaoxiu followed behind, teasing the rabbit with a giant mutated cabbage leaf given to her by the shop owner.
The tiny figure holds up a large leaf, as if grasping the banana leaf fan in Princess Iron Fan's hand, and "whoosh" it waves to the left, then "whoosh" it waves to the right.
The two rabbits pouted their three-lobed mouths for a long time, but didn't taste a single leaf.
The father and daughter were walking along the roadside, avoiding traffic, when a boy suddenly ran up to them in front of them.
Just as they were about to collide, Zhao Xiaoxiu and Zhao Gang didn't even look up, instinctively and quickly separated to the left and right, and the boy walked through the father and daughter with a look of astonishment in his eyes.
The dark, grimy right hand that had been reaching into Zhao Xiaoxiu's pocket quickly withdrew, its attempt to steal failing.
When he finally stopped and looked back, the father and daughter had already disappeared.
......
Upon arriving at the parking spot and meeting up with the others, Zhao Xiaoxiu immediately took out the points card from her pocket and handed it to Zhao Gang.
"Dad, you should keep it." She was afraid that someone might accidentally steal it.
Although she couldn't make a payment without the password, she knew that thieves had plenty of ways to extract points, and she couldn't let the bad guys get away with it.
Zhao Gang gently rubbed his daughter's bun, put away the points card, and the group got into the car and headed to the building materials market.
Zhao Gang originally planned to buy some paint and cement to repaint the house so that the cubs could live in a bright room.
Thanks to Steven from Green Field Alliance for his generous gift, Grandma Meng and her two children now have some savings. The two families discussed it and decided to buy paint and cement together to repair the house.
As for bricks, tiles, glass, and the like, we can find them in nearby abandoned villages and towns; that should give us enough materials for decorating the house.
For furniture, try browsing the secondhand market. As for home appliances, Zhao Gang recommends Yin Lan from Taoyuan Base – she's a familiar face, skilled, and reliable.
Zhao Xiaoxiu can just buy the large freezer she wants from her.
“You can also go to the patrol station and ask Mo Shigui to order a solar power generation system. Ask Yin Lan to install it, and she can also lay the wiring for you,” Zhao Gang said to Granny Meng.
Grandma Meng said that they could go to Taoyuan Base to find Yin Lan themselves and bring the freezer back, so Zhao Gang wouldn't have to make that extra trip.
Zhao Gang felt that this would save him trouble, so he agreed with satisfaction.
Zhao Xiaoxiu suddenly remembered that she needed to call Aunt Yin Lan; she had promised to let her know when the fish were fattened up last year.
Before long, they arrived at their destination. The adults got off the vehicle to load the goods and settle the bill, while Zhao Xiaoxiu and Xiwa stayed in the vehicle.
Xiwa felt that someone was watching him. He guessed that it was because his two large trucks of supplies were making people envious, but when he looked in the rearview mirror, he did not see any passersby staring at him.
This is, after all, an urban area, where the military is powerful. Even if they have designs on supplies, they wouldn't openly take action in the city.
Xiwa scratched his neck uncomfortably, looking restless. He still felt something was off, as if several gazes were subtly directed at him.
But when he looked out the car window, he didn't find anything unusual.
Zhao Xiaoxiu was playing Tetris on her phone when she noticed Xiwa moving around. She paused the game, got up in confusion, climbed into the passenger seat, and started looking in the rearview mirror, mimicking Xiwa's movements.
From the same angle, the little boy was squeezed so much that he quickly adjusted the back of his chair and leaned back, not daring to get in the way of this young lady.
"What are you looking at?" Zhao Xiaoxiu asked, puzzled, as she looked at the flow of people and vehicles in the rearview mirror.
Xiwa didn't know how to say it, and muttered, "I always feel like someone is watching me, and I feel uncomfortable all over."
"Are you afraid Evan will hire an assassin to kill you?" Zhao Xiaoxiu smiled teasingly, looking like a naughty child.
But her features are so exquisite, her face is rosy and chubby, and when she smiles with the corners of her mouth turned up, you can only think that she is innocent and naive.
Xiwa sighed helplessly, offering no rebuttal, which meant she acquiesced.
Zhao Xiaoxiu was about to say that he was a frightened bird, but when she glanced up, she saw in the rearview mirror a person holding a newspaper to cover his face and leaning against a stone pillar of a roadside building with his arms crossed.
The man had just put down his newspaper when he slightly raised his face, which was covered by sunglasses. It was a very subtle movement, but his eyes behind the sunglasses were fixed on the SUV.
This time, Xiwa saw it too. When Zhao Xiaoxiu got close to him, she immediately heard a gasp, and then her disheveled face turned pale in an instant.
"It's Evan, it must be Evan who wants to kill me..." he said in a trembling voice, quickly pressing Zhao Xiaoxiu, who was still trying to peek out, back into the passenger seat, and placing his large hand on her head, ready to knock it down.
"Watch out for headshots!" Evan warned anxiously in a high-pitched voice.
Zhao Xiaoxiu screamed inwardly: My hairstyle!
Before she could even cry out, the little girl was pricked by the flower wreath on her head and let out a loud scream. The scream was so loud that it startled the assassin, who was pretending to read the newspaper, and he quickly hid behind a pillar.
The car door was slammed shut, and Zhao Gang, standing outside the window, frowned and asked, "What's wrong?!"
Inside the car, the adult and the child spoke in unison. Zhao Xiaoxiu said, "He pricked his hand with a flower wreath."
With a serious expression, Xiwa said, "Boss, we've been targeted by assassins!"
Zhao Gang: "Oh." It's good that nothing happened to the cubs.
The little one is confused. Big brother, at least panic a little so I don't look so ridiculous!
Grandma Meng directed her two sons to load the paint and cement onto the truck, while simultaneously unloading the mattress from the truck and tying it to the roof rack of the SUV. She casually remarked to Zhao Gang:
“There are at least three people watching us in this area. Isn’t that a bit strange? These people weren’t here before you and Xiaoxiu came.”
Zhao Gang nodded and said, "They've come to kill me."
He had already spotted these people; their movements had been monitored ever since they entered the city.
Zhao Gang was still a little puzzled as to why so many people were suddenly targeting him.
However, the sun is just beginning to set, so these people won't easily make a move in the city until at least dark.
Zhao Gang indicated to Granny Meng that they should just treat it normally and not let the other party know that they had discovered them for the time being.
Grandma Meng secretly gave an OK sign, tied the mattress back to the truck, and quietly relayed Zhao Gang's instructions to her two sons.
"Are those two lords who hitched a ride still waiting?" Xiwa asked from inside the carriage.
Upon hearing that it was an assassin targeting Zhao Gang, he immediately perked up again.
Zhao Xiaoxiu couldn't help but roll her eyes at him; what a cunning fellow.
Zhao Gang thought for a moment, then took out his walkie-talkie and told Lords No. 8 and No. 9 that he would be returning to his territory soon and that he wouldn't be waiting for them.
Area B is filled with guards he trained for the cubs; it's a good opportunity to test their strength.
Zhao Gang acted rationally, which Xiwa found quite admirable; he was even worried about implicating the other lords and didn't let them ride in the dangerous carriage.
The goods have all been delivered, and another 30,000 points have been deducted from Zhao Gang's points card. He hopes to have more than 80,000 points remaining.
