The appearance of the bounty hunters had no impact on Zhao Xiaoxiu and her father.
The group arrived home safely at 7:30 p.m. Zhao Gang got out of the car, washed his hands, and went straight to the kitchen, leaving the unloading to Xiwa and the Meng brothers.
Today is the cub's birthday, and he must make sure to give this birthday a perfect ending.
Therefore, a sumptuous celebratory dinner is essential.
The monkey sister squeaked as she rushed down the mountain, her clothes still covered in leaves. No one knew where she had been having fun all day.
Seeing the cake on the coffee table in the living room, I couldn't resist bringing my nose close to it and taking a sniff. I smelled a sweet aroma and exclaimed excitedly, "Hooray!" It's delicious!
The little girl placed two cages at the door. The mutated rabbit, which had been rocking in the car for more than two hours, looked like a wilted eggplant.
Zhao Xiaoxiu found two unused broken bowls, filled them with water, placed them in the cage, and instructed, "Drink more water."
The rabbits could understand her words and moved their heads, but the unfamiliar environment kept them alert and still.
Meng Dayi walked in carrying a mattress in one arm and asked, "Xiaoxiu, should we put this mattress upstairs?"
Zhao Xiaoxiu hurriedly agreed and ran ahead to lead the way for Meng Da, instructing him to put the mattress and bedding in the living room of the suite on the second floor, and then have the tentacles make the bed later.
Monkey Sister was curious and wanted to follow upstairs to see the mattress, but Zhao Gang stopped her and told her to go to the sweet potato field and pick a handful of sweet potato leaves.
This is the eldest child in the family, so Sister Monkey didn't dare to disobey. She could only reluctantly jump down the stairs and run to pick sweet potato leaves.
Thinking about getting the good stuff the cub brought her, Sister Monkey quickly returned with a large bunch of fresh sweet potato leaves, threw them into the vegetable washing basin, and then turned around and tried to run away again.
"Wash the vegetable leaves clean," Zhao Gang ordered without turning his head, his eyes fixed on the hot oil in the pan.
Sister Monkey was so anxious that she bared her teeth. She looked left and right, but still ran back and carried the vegetable basin to the backyard to fetch water and wash it clean.
The back door light wasn't on; only a faint light shone from the kitchen window. At first glance, someone unfamiliar with the place might think someone was standing by the well washing vegetables.
Xiwa and Meng Er carried the cement and paint they had bought over and put them down. They exclaimed "Ho-ho!" before realizing that it was Sister Monkey washing vegetables.
"I was wondering why a complete stranger had come to our house," Meng Er joked.
The monkey sister turned her head and fiercely spat at him with a "pfft," she said, "You're a macaque! A macaque! Your whole family are the human ones!"
Meng Er wasn't annoyed; instead, he was amused by the monkey's excited reaction: "Hahaha! This monkey is really funny," he said to Xiwa.
Xiwa quickly dropped the goods in his hand, stepped back two meters, and waved wildly at Sister Monkey, who was giving him an unfriendly look, to show that he and Meng Er were not on the same side and that he shouldn't take his anger out on him.
The monkey sister was too lazy to pay attention to these two hateful humans. She carried the vegetable basin back to the kitchen, slammed it on the stove with a "bang!", patted her bottom, and went to find her cubs.
"Squeak squeak squeak!"
Before the monkey arrived, its voice preceded it. Zhao Xiaoxiu, who was checking supplies in the storage room, turned her head to look at the door and saw a brownish-yellow shadow dart in.
She quickly dodged to the side, narrowly avoiding the monkey's body, but was startled and almost fell.
"Sister Monkey!" Zhao Xiaoxiu looked at the macaque with blinking eyes in front of her, both amused and exasperated, and waved her hand to tell it to stand further away.
"Don't rush, let me finish counting the supplies, then we'll eat cake together."
Zhao Xiaoxiu emphasized, "It's a birthday cake! Do you know what a birthday is?"
She didn't need Monkey Sister's answer, so she continued, "A birthday is the day everyone is born into this world. Today is my birthday. After today, I will be four years old."
Monkey Sister tilted her head and paused for a moment, seemingly digesting the information Zhao Xiaoxiu had just shared.
Soon, it let out an excited "ha" sound from its throat, pointed at Zhao Xiaoxiu, took a half step back, clapped its hands, jumped and danced to celebrate for her.
"Thank you so much, Sister Monkey." Zhao Xiaoxiu happily cupped her face and gave it a kiss from afar.
Monkey Sister gestured with her hands as if she were making a phone call, asking if she wanted to invite a few more friends over to eat cake together.
It thought that the little cub Youyou was very generous, sharing all the good food with it, so it wanted to share the good food with him today.
Zhao Xiaoxiu had never thought of this, after all, it was her first birthday.
When Sister Monkey brought it up, Zhao Xiaoxiu suddenly remembered some vague images, like how she would invite many friends to celebrate her birthday together.
"Here you go, Sister Monkey." Zhao Xiaoxiu took out a carton of yogurt and stuffed it into Sister Monkey's arms. She pulled her out of the storage room and closed the door behind her to prevent Sister Monkey from sneaking in to steal food.
This is an evolved macaque that eats without restraint.
The child and the monkey grabbed their phones and ran to the kitchen, asking expectantly, "Daddy, can I invite Youyou and Miaomiao to come over and eat cake with me?"
Zhao Gang nodded and asked, "Shall I fry some French fries for you?"
"Mmm!" Zhao Xiaoxiu and Sister Monkey nodded vigorously.
None of the family members had considered what time it was.
When Zhao Xiaoxiu dialed Youyou's number, she saw that it was exactly eight o'clock and her heart sank.
The call was answered quickly, and Youyou excitedly said, "Hello?"
Zhao Xiaoxiu was overjoyed and tentatively extended an invitation, adding at the end, "I'll drive over to pick you up, and then take you back after we eat. You can ask your mother if that's okay."
Youyou's cheers came from the other end of the phone, followed by silence. Zhao Xiaoxiu and Sister Hou held each other's paws, waiting anxiously.
“Yes, my mom said yes.” Youyou said impatiently, “I’m going out to the entrance to wait for you right now, Zhao Xiaoxiu, hurry up!”
One done!
Zhao Xiaoxiu and Sister Monkey gave each other a high five, then picked up the walkie-talkie to contact Lord Number 16.
However, the walkie-talkie didn't respond immediately; we had to wait a while.
Zhao Xiaoxiu picked up the walkie-talkie, called Xiwa, the driver, to drive, and then sat in the back seat with Sister Hou. After telling the adults, they immediately set off to pick up the person.
When they arrived at the entrance and walked along the street, Jiang Ning finally answered the walkie-talkie, accepting Zhao Xiaoxiu's birthday invitation.
Xiwa turned the steering wheel and parked the car in front of Territory No. 16.
A moment later, the light from the flashlight shone over.
Zhao Xiaoxiu leaned halfway out, waving excitedly and shouting, "Uncle Liu Chuan, we're here! Sister Miaomiao, come quick!"
Youyou had only heard Zhao Xiaoxiu mention Sister Miaomiao, but had never met her.
The child still had a bit of a competitive spirit. Seeing how excited Zhao Xiaoxiu was because of Miaomiao's arrival, she hummed softly, but couldn't help but curiously move closer to the window.
It was getting late, and Liu Chuan's family was about to go to bed. Miao Miao didn't have time to get ready. She had her long, freshly washed hair loose, and was wearing simple long clothes and pants, with a plastic hair clip by her temple.
She's a bit older and already looks like a big sister.
Miao Miao took the initiative to greet Youyou politely. The angry little boy dodged away, turned his head away shyly, and pulled Zhao Xiaoxiu to sit a little further inside, making room for her.
