After feeding the rabbits, Zhao Xiaoxiu went to the greenhouse to look at the evolution tomatoes that were spread out on the ground.
As the temperature rises, the roof of the greenhouse has been lifted, and Sister Monkey is now sleeping in the open air.
Zhao Xiaoxiu has already bought the new mattresses, and there's one specially prepared for Sister Hou, which is placed in the living room on the second floor.
Once the adults have finished renovating the house, Zhao Xiaoxiu will have Sister Monkey move inside.
The peak fruiting period of the evolved tomato is almost over, and the fruiting rate has slowed down, but it can still produce fruit until June.
Later, Zhao Xiaoxiu and Sister Monkey planted more than a dozen more pots of evolved tomatoes, which means that they will have evolved tomatoes to eat all year round, from this year until winter.
With the hotel manager's business card in hand, he could save up the tomatoes he couldn't finish and sell them in Jiangcheng, earning some income.
No more worrying about wasting leftover tomatoes! Zhao Xiaoxiu was delighted and told Sister Hou to pick them and put them in the freezer as soon as possible.
Grandma Meng brought back two large freezers from the Taoyuan base. They were the kind of double-door freezers used in large restaurant kitchens, with one half for refrigeration and the other for freezing. They were spacious enough to meet the current refrigeration and freezing needs.
Spring and autumn are the best seasons for hunting groups to enter the mountains. In spring, everything grows and various mutated plants in the mountains bloom and bear fruit, and you can always find edible low-level mutated species.
However, not many people know how to handle them, and most of them end up being wasted when brought back.
Now that there is ample refrigeration space at home, Zhao Xiaoxiu feels that she can also go with the hunting group to collect some low-level mutated plants and animals, process the edible parts, and then sell them.
Food is always the primary need in a cataclysmic world.
If the price is right, many people would be willing to save time and effort by buying ready-made products.
The main advantage is that the extra waste can be used to raise fish and flowers, so she doesn't have to worry about Green Fairy and Peter Pan going hungry, and she can raise even more blackback fish.
However, we're very busy at home right now, so we can only put this idea into practice after the rainy season ends.
Zhao Xiaoxiu splashed cold water on her face to shake off these distracting thoughts, brushed her teeth, washed her feet, changed into her pajamas, and quickly crawled into bed.
Zhao Gang closed the doors and windows and went into the bedroom. He saw his baby lying on the bed, patting the empty space next to him, and staring at him with wide, alert eyes, waiting for him to come over.
"Want to hear a bedtime story?" Zhao Gang asked uncertainly. He hadn't expected his little one to love learning so much.
He thought she was tired today, which is why he skipped the bedtime study session.
The little head peeking out from under the thin blanket shook from side to side, and said in a soft voice, "Daddy, let's chat."
Zhao Gang was both surprised and delighted, but after a quick glance around, he figured out what she was thinking.
The father and daughter exchanged a glance, able to communicate without speaking. Zhao Xiaoxiu thought this feeling was wonderful, but she still preferred to speak.
After her father lay down, she asked, "Dad, are you going to kill Evan?"
Zhao Gang wasn't surprised that the cub could read his mind. He grunted and said in a cold tone, "If you discover a potential danger, you must eliminate it."
“But Dad, Evan isn’t a bounty hunter. It would be a big problem if he died.”
Before Zhao Gang could explain, Zhao Xiaoxiu continued in a low voice, "I'm going to find Aunt Yang Mei. She knows Evan is threatening my life, and she'll take care of him. Dad, you don't need to do it yourself."
Zhao Gang turned to face his cub and couldn't help but poke her puffed-up little cheek. "Why do humans always like to complicate simple things?"
Zhao Xiaoxiu grabbed the fingers on her face, her round eyes blinking earnestly. "Dad, human nature is very complicated. If you don't want to be separated from me, you have to learn to solve problems using the complicated methods of humankind."
Upon hearing the word "separate," the tentacles all rushed out in a panic, instantly filling the entire room and enveloping Zhao Xiaoxiu.
It's as if to say that no one can take her away from Him.
The red space didn't frighten her at all. Zhao Xiaoxiu felt that the color was like the fiery red sunrise, and just thinking about it made her feel warm and cozy.
She whispered to him, "Dad, you should be humble."
"So I'll go talk to Aunt Yang Mei. I haven't seen her in so long, and I wonder what she's figured out." Zhao Xiaoxiu rolled around freely in the blood-red warm nest her father had built.
The thumping, thumping sound came from above. Zhao Xiaoxiu stared at the bulging flesh above her head, feeling as if dozens of hearts were beating at the same time.
She wondered in surprise, "Are those all my father's hearts?"
Zhao Gang couldn't describe how he felt. He just felt incredibly happy—the cub wanted to protect its father!
It should be the father protecting the cubs, so why are his cubs so well-behaved and sensible?
Oh, no, in human terms, she's such a filial and good child!
Then, dozens of tentacles beside Zhao Xiaoxiu simultaneously exclaimed: "So filial! So filial! So filial!"
Zhao Xiaoxiu tentatively asked, "Have they gone mad?"
The dozens of voices abruptly stopped, as if they had become guilty.
However, the soft, warm touches around her wrapped her tighter and tighter. But while they were tight, they didn't make her feel uncomfortable; instead, they gave her an ultimate sense of security.
Before long, Zhao Xiaoxiu forgot all her troubles and unhappiness, closed her eyes, and fell fast asleep.
They slept soundly until the alarm rang the next day, and the father and daughter got up together, dressed, put on their shoes, brushed their teeth, and washed their faces in unison.
Tentacles braided Zhao Xiaoxiu's hair into two short braids, tying the ends with white gauze bow headbands that simply hung down on her shoulders, making her look playful and cute.
Zhao Gang made a simple bowl of tomato and bird egg soup and put it on the kitchen table. Then he picked up his weapons and set off with the Meng brothers to move bricks and tiles in the deserted village.
Early in the morning, Xiwa started banging and clanging in the empty house. Then, shouting that he needed electricity, he dragged a bunch of metal objects to Zhao Xiaoxiu's yard and borrowed the power tools in the tool shed to assemble them.
Grandma Meng was making a shed for the two new mutant rabbits, Little Yellow and Little Green. She used readily available poplar planks to build a small house about the height of a person, surrounded it with wire mesh and wooden planks that she had collected, lined the inside with dry grass, and installed a plastic water trough. The shed was done.
The rabbit burrow was located under a solitary, low-level mutated tree not far from the vegetable garden. The surrounding twenty acres of open land were intended to be used as pasture.
After finishing her one-hour morning exercise, Zhao Xiaoxiu drank half a bottle of nutritional supplement and a bowl of tomato and egg soup left by her father. She said goodbye to Grandma Meng and then took Sister Monkey out with her.
She sat on the suspension board, while Sister Monkey ran ahead, holding the rope. The two of them ran straight up the south slope after leaving the courtyard.
If you don't take the main road, cross the south slope to reach the main road in the southwest. Walk for ten minutes between territories 16 and 17 to get out of area B.
Since the research institute was built, Zhao Xiaoxiu has never been there even once.
The last time she brought Youyou over for cake, it was only under the high walls and electric fences at the entrance of the research institute; she hadn't seen what it looked like inside yet.
