With a few quick whooshes, the brown shadow rushed over, bypassing the stairs and the front door, climbing directly onto the balcony and flipping inside. It picked up the broom that the tentacle had dropped on the ground and quickly cleaned up its messy room.
After finishing, he stood awkwardly in front of Zhao Xiaoxiu, scratching his head, and grinned at her with a monkey-like mouth, blinking his big monkey eyes, acting cute and charming.
Zhao Xiaoxiu let it go, but it didn't have the two tentacles.
It swung its tentacles up and quickly wrapped them tightly around the monkey sister, its tentacles taut and threatening her furry head before retreating.
Zhao Xiaoxiu watched the two tentacles disappear around the corner of the stairs, then immediately ran back and pointed at the still unconvinced Monkey Sister, saying:
"Would you dare do it again next time? Be careful, they might pierce your heart just like they killed those bounty hunters!"
Monkey Sister's mind conjured up images of the bounty hunter's bloody holes in his forehead and chest, and her hair stood on end. She hurriedly waved her hands and squeaked, "No, no, it won't happen again!"
It doesn't want to die.
Seeing that she had scared her enough, Zhao Xiaoxiu gently reminded Monkey Sister not to secretly bring melon seeds into the room again.
Monkey Sister: Should we take it to the cave?
Zhao Xiaoxiu rolled her eyes at the sky, suppressing her temper, and said, "Can't you wait a couple more days until all the melon seeds are completely dry?"
The monkey hung its head in grievance. This was too difficult for it. The tender melon seeds were sweet and delicious. What should it do?
"Sweet?" Zhao Xiaoxiu asked in surprise.
Monkey Sister didn't know how a human baby could change her expression so quickly, but seeing that Zhao Xiaoxiu was also interested, she immediately carried her downstairs to the open space in front of the door.
Armed with her "imperial sword," Sister Monkey wasn't afraid of the little boy in charge of drying melon seeds. She openly picked the largest flower from the ground, broke off the tenderest part from the center, and handed it to Zhao Xiaoxiu: Eat!
Zhao Xiaoxiu slid off Monkey Sister's furry embrace. This furry body was very warm in winter, but after only a short while, she was already sweating profusely on her back.
Holding flower trays, the child and the monkey sat down on the steps under the eaves. Under the watchful eyes of the little boy, they peeled open the tender shells, picked out the kernels, and ate them.
The sunflower seeds, not yet fully dried, are very tender, and a sweet taste immediately emerges when you bite into them.
Zhao Xiaoxiu's eyes lit up; she really was sweet.
“Dad will definitely love it,” Zhao Xiaoxiu said, stuffing all the melon seeds in her hand into Monkey Sister’s hands. She then picked up the flower plate that could be used as an umbrella and ran towards the entrance of her territory.
"Daddy! Daddy!"
The cubs hadn't even arrived yet, but their voices came first.
Zhao Gang, who was building a small shop with leftover materials, and the three members of the Meng family, turned their heads to look at the source of the sound.
Then I saw a long-legged sunflower running over by itself.
When the flower plate was removed, a cute, rosy face with beads of sweat on its nose was revealed underneath.
Zhao Xiaoxiu said expectantly, "Dad, the tender melon seeds are sweet, I'll peel them for you."
Zhao Gang nodded: "Okay."
Meng Er immediately parroted, using a sarcastic, high-pitched tone: "Okay~"
He doesn't say who envies him.
Grandma Meng and Dad Meng couldn't help but laugh, and the atmosphere became more relaxed. The scorching sun overhead didn't seem so hot anymore.
"Grandma Meng, Uncle Meng, you should eat with us too." Zhao Xiaoxiu broke off a piece, blew away the crumbs, carefully peeled each piece apart, and stood on tiptoe to offer it to Grandma Meng and Uncle Meng.
Meng Da was flattered and glanced at Zhao Gang. Seeing that he didn't say anything, he happily put the peeled melon seed in his mouth.
"Sweet!" Meng Da gave a thumbs up.
Grandma Meng savored the taste, feeling a sweet warmth in her heart, and looked at Zhao Xiaoxiu with incredibly loving eyes.
"What about me? What about me? Xiaoxiu, you can't forget your second uncle!" Seeing that everyone else had something, Meng Er hurriedly reminded them.
Zhao Xiaoxiu made a face at him: "Hehehe~, no way!"
It's his own fault for just mimicking his dad's strange talk. If he wants some, he can go get it himself.
Meng Er sighed helplessly, "You little rascal, you really hold grudges."
Ignoring him, Zhao Xiaoxiu squatted on the grass, directing the mutated plants on the green wall to build an archway to shade the adults, while peeling melon seeds for her father, Grandma Meng, and Uncle Meng.
I peeled a small handful, gave it to my father first, and then fed it to Grandma Meng.
Meng Da was embarrassed to be fed by a child, so he waved his hand and climbed to the top of the scaffold to concentrate on building the high wall.
Previously, the Meng family had added a roof to their bungalow, which gave them experience, and now they were very skilled at building walls.
With three able-bodied young men and a hardworking old woman named Meng, the shop was built in just three days, including the main structure and roof.
It took another day to cover the roof with tiles and nail on the doors and windows, and a small shop of thirty square meters with two rooms began to take shape.
Just as they were preparing to continue painting the walls, laying cement floors, and doing the finishing touches on the renovation, it was time to harvest the rapeseed.
The group had no choice but to temporarily put aside the renovation work of the convenience store, and each of them, armed with a sickle, went into the rapeseed field to begin harvesting the rapeseed.
While the adults harvested, Zhao Xiaoxiu and Sister Monkey would pull the hoverboard home one trip after another.
Freshly harvested rapeseed needs to be dried in the sun to remove excess moisture before it can be threshed.
Fortunately, the sunflowers had already been dried, leaving the area by the door empty, which was perfect for the rapeseed.
During the hottest days in May, Zhao Xiaoxiu's front and back yards were completely covered with rapeseed. When people walked on the branches, they would make a "rustling" sound.
Zhao Xiaoxiu's rapeseed field was free from pests and eaten by other mutated animals, and the rapeseed was growing exceptionally well, with the seeds in the pods packed full.
With a large family, one acre of land can be harvested in a single day.
After finishing with her own work, Zhao Xiaoxiu immediately took Meng Er and Xiwa to plot number three to help her master.
Upon arriving at Territory No. 3, Zhao Xiaoxiu discovered that her rapeseed had an exceptionally high seed setting rate.
The rapeseed at my master's house not only grew in different heights, but the pods that looked plump would immediately flatten out when touched, as if they didn't contain many seeds.
Sheng Qingyang was unaware of the situation with the rapeseed in Territory No. 13. Seeing his apprentice bring people to help, he was pleasantly surprised and pointed to Territory No. 4 next door, saying:
"The rapeseed field of Lord No. 4 was not properly managed during the mutation period. The little bees that were attracted were all eaten by the flowers. Last time the experts came to inspect, they said that the pollination was not done well, and the seed setting rate was probably not very high."
Turning around, looking at the rapeseed hanging on the branches in front of him, he smiled slightly, "My yield here should be pretty good."
The little boy and Meng Er, who were harvesting with great effort, exchanged a glance, hesitant to speak, but were glared at by Zhao Xiaoxiu.
The two shrugged and continued working.
Meng Er worked exceptionally hard, without even using a sickle. His hands were hardened, and with a single grab and fold of his five fingers, he could gather a large handful, faster than a child could cut with a knife.
Zhao Xiaoxiu was very clear about her role: to accompany her. She stood on the cleared ground after the harvest, chatting with her master while helping to check if anything had been missed, picking it up and tossing it into the basket.
Not everyone's territory can be protected by the Green Fairy; Sheng Qingyang's territory is always plagued by various mutated small animals.
They pose little threat to humans, but a great threat to crops.
