However, Peter Pan seemed a little resistant to Monkey Sister's arrival.
It hovered above Zhao Xiaoxiu's head, glaring at Sister Monkey with hostility, looking like it was vying for her favor.
Unfortunately, Sister Monkey was completely unaware of the big fish's hostility. She sniffed and smelled an enticing aroma of meat, and her monkey eyes lit up instantly.
The monkey paw excitedly shoved at Zhao Xiaoxiu, forgetting to control its strength, and almost pulled her into the water.
It was only thanks to the timely activation of the levitation magnetic field by the little flying fish that Zhao Xiaoxiu did not fall.
Zhao Xiaoxiu steadied herself on the shore and glared at the culprit with annoyance.
Sister Monkey scratched her head apologetically, then continued pointing in the direction the aroma was coming from—home.
He was drooling, looking very eager.
Zhao Xiaoxiu could smell it too; it was the aroma of grilled fish.
Even though she didn't say it aloud, her father knew about her and Monkey Sister's idea of eating fish.
Zhao Xiaoxiu quickly waved goodbye to Peter Pan and ran home.
"Daddy smells so good!"
The voice arrived before the person.
Zhao Xiaoxiu and Sister Monkey rushed into the kitchen, panting, and immediately saw two grilled blackback fish on the dining table.
Zhao Gang was cleaning the mutated loach. There was a lot of loach meat, weighing over 40 jin after processing. Zhao Gang planned to keep some for dinner tonight and make the rest into smoked meat for his daughter to store.
Hearing the excited commotion behind him, he turned around with a smile and said, "Take it out to eat, the kitchen smells fishy."
"Squeak!" Sister Monkey happily rushed to the dining table.
"Thank you, Dad!" Zhao Xiaoxiu quickly grabbed her grilled fish and caught up with Sister Monkey.
A monkey and a baby brought out a small stool and sat at the gate. The baby held a plate of grilled fish bigger than its face in its hands, smiled happily at each other, and ate it with its hands.
The two patrolling soldiers who were still on the side of the road suddenly smelled an enticing aroma. Looking in the direction of the aroma, they saw a child and a monkey sitting at the door, holding grilled fish in their hands and eating with their mouths full of oil.
The fish scales had been removed beforehand, the skin was roasted until crispy over a high flame, and the two plump fillets of fish meat had been marinated with seasonings for ten minutes beforehand, allowing various flavors to permeate them.
Even the large fish bones have been removed, leaving only the tenderest parts.
A bite of perfectly grilled fish first brings the crispy skin, followed by the plump, fresh meat. The sweetness of the meat and the salty crispness of the skin combine to create a crazy stimulating sensation on the taste buds. It's so delicious that even Sister Monkey would cry.
Woohoo, it has never eaten anything so delicious before!
"Gurgle~"
Zhao Xiaoxiu's ears twitched, as if she had heard some strange sound.
The oily little face lifted up from the plate, its big eyes searching around. Oh, it turned out to be two patrolling soldiers by the roadside, swallowing their saliva.
After figuring out the situation, Zhao Xiaoxiu buried her head and continued eating her grilled fish.
On the roadside, two patrolling soldiers struggled to tear their eyes away from the grilled fish, pretending to look at the sky, but they were actually practically drooling with envy.
Before they could even cry, three corpses by the roadside came to life, their three pairs of scarlet eyes staring excitedly at the two of them, almost drooling with envy.
Three gunshots rang out, startling Zhao Xiaoxiu, who was diligently eating.
Monkey Sister jumped up, angrily put down her empty plate, rushed a few meters away, and roared at the two people on the roadside.
Two patrolling soldiers: "..."
Let them go! They can leave, can't they?
The monkey sister successfully yelled the person away, turned around and went back to the door, her expression changed drastically, and she gently patted the cub: Don't be afraid.
Zhao Xiaoxiu raised her chin; she wasn't afraid at all.
The three corpses were successfully disposed of by the patrol team, who mistook them for White Walkers. If it weren't for the guns and evolution persimmons they brought back in the lobby on the first floor, everything would have been as peaceful as if it had never happened.
As the sun began to set, Zhao Gang continued to busy himself installing the awning.
This morning, after transporting the materials to the rooftop, I realized that solar photovoltaic panels also have rainproof and heat-insulating functions, so I deliberately left one-third of the area un-installed with a canopy.
"Dad, do you know how to build a rain shelter?" Zhao Xiaoxiu asked curiously, standing behind her father and watching his busy figure.
Zhao Gang paused for a moment, nodded, and frowned as he said, "We're missing the installation tools."
To build a canopy, you first need to put up the basic frame, connect all the parts, and weld the supporting steel frame. You simply can't do it by hand with just a few tools.
Zhao Gang clapped his hands, stood up, told the baby to play by himself at home, and then rode his bicycle out while it was still light.
Zhao Xiaoxiu looked in the direction and saw that they were heading towards the patrol station, probably to buy tools from the supply depot.
Having just eaten a large grilled fish, Zhao Xiaoxiu wasn't hungry at all; in fact, she felt a bit full.
She reached into her pocket and pulled out two mutated green jujube pits.
I almost forgot we still have jujube pits to plant!
"Sister Monkey!"
Zhao Xiaoxiu rushed downstairs in a fit of anger, went to the greenhouse, found Sister Monkey watering the evolved tomatoes and sunflowers, and showed her the seeds in her palm.
Monkey Sister remembered too. She put down the watering ladle, turned around and went to the storage shelf inside to find a small shovel. She took the seeds and left the greenhouse, standing outside and looking around.
Finally, it was decided to plant the two seeds on the hillside behind the house.
Zhao Xiaoxiu took a small bucket, filled it with water, and followed.
Monkey Sister ran very fast, and by the time Zhao Xiaoxiu caught up with her, carrying a bucket of water, the two green jujube seeds had already been planted.
Her water came just in time. The monkey sister happily lowered her head and rubbed her head against the baby's face, took the bucket, and watered the two newly planted seeds.
It was cold, so I didn't water it too much; there was still more than half a bucket of water left.
Turning around to call the cubs home, I found her squatting on the ground picking up stones.
"Squeak?" What's going on? Sister Monkey looked at Zhao Xiaoxiu curiously.
Zhao Xiaoxiu said, "Let's surround the two seeds so we can find them next time we come."
The older sister patted the monkey's head, thinking it made sense, gave the cub a thumbs up, and ran over to help find the stones.
There's nothing else on this barren mountain, just stones everywhere.
They quickly found enough stones, and the man and the monkey built a stone fence about 20 centimeters high and 50 meters in diameter around the seeds that had just been planted.
After finishing, Zhao Xiaoxiu clapped her hands, washed her little hands with the remaining water in the bucket, and looked back at the stone fence that had been enclosed, feeling a great sense of accomplishment.
Hopefully, with her and Sister Monkey's careful care, the two seeds will sprout and grow successfully.
"Sister Monkey, let's go home," Zhao Xiaoxiu called out.
Monkey Sister nodded, took the initiative to lift the bucket, and watched as Zhao Xiaoxiu, a small creature, staggered across the barren land like a penguin because she was dressed in thick clothes, with her arms outstretched to maintain her balance. Monkey Sister's eyes lit up, she took a quick step, stretched out her paw, lifted her up, and put her into the bucket.
Zhao Xiaoxiu was initially surprised, but after discovering that the bucket could just fit her, she sat down in it without any qualms and let the strong Monkey Sister carry her home.
A faint glimmer of light remained on the horizon, a sign that tomorrow would be another sunny day.
