A stunning beauty arrived on the island; she invented everything from childcare to babysitting.

After pushing the bicycle under the eaves in the backyard, Anning and Zhao Xuemei, who had also come to the backyard from next door, exchanged a glance. They saw the smile in each other's eyes and remained silent in tacit agreement.

Although there was a low wall built in the backyard, you could still see the surrounding yards from inside, and hear the sounds clearly.

It's one thing to upset Aunt Wu next door once, but she doesn't seem to be in good health. If she has a mental breakdown and relapses, she might blame Aunt Wu.

Taking advantage of the two children going out to play, Anning took out the remote-controlled helicopter that was packed in a cardboard box and showed it to Zhao Xuemei.

Although Anning had previously made a large airplane for the children out of wood and cardboard, the workmanship was very rough and the structure was simple. Others could make it at a glance, but they just didn't want to bother making it for the children.

But this remote-controlled helicopter is completely different; although it's pink, you can still see the metallic texture.

Through the plastic window, you can even see the aircraft's exquisite dials, control sticks, and seats.

"This is amazing! How did they make it? It looks just like the real thing!" Zhao Xuemei exclaimed as she circled the plane. "My son would be so envious if he saw this."

An Ning smiled and said, "No, little girl will share it with her brother to play together."

“Your daughter is just like you, so generous!” Zhao Xuemei praised her as well. “Unlike some people in the team, who act like someone is trying to steal something when they get it, hiding it away. To be honest, if she were acting the same as usual, no one would pay any attention to her. But she looks like she’s caught doing something wrong, so who wouldn’t take a second look at her? She’s even corrupting the children.”

Zhao Xuemei was talking about an incident that happened a couple of days ago at a military primary school. A child got a new toy and loved it so much that he didn't want to leave it at home. But he was worried that if he brought it to school, other children would see it and want to play with it, so he secretly hid it in his schoolbag. When he came back from lunch, he found that his new toy had been broken.

It wasn't just this child; the child's mother also had this personality, and she had been criticized by everyone before, but this time it caused a problem.

His mother bought the toy for five yuan at a department store, so she went to the school and made a scene, insisting that the teacher find the child who destroyed the toy.

But at that time, everyone was either going home or eating, and the classroom door wasn't locked, so who knew who had come back?

We can't interrogate children like criminals, can we?

The parent made a fuss for several days without getting an answer, and even started questioning other classmates in her son's class privately.

Fortunately, they weren't in the same grade as Xu Pengfei, so it didn't affect them.

Anning and Zhao Xuemei discussed how to prepare a surprise for the child, and then placed the helicopter, which had just been painted not long ago, on the board under the eaves to air out.

This spot is easily visible to adults, but children, being shorter, cannot see it unless they run to the furthest point in the yard.

The courtyard behind Anning's house hasn't been cleaned up yet, so Xiaoni'er usually doesn't go there to play.

Now that the military dependent permits are processed, this courtyard can be tidied up a bit.

Anning plans to set aside a small plot of land to grow vegetables, and then build a gazebo in another corner.

No matter what it's used for, the land needs to be redone. What needs to be turned over needs to be turned over, what needs to be compacted needs to be compacted, and we might need to bring back some stones to lay on top, so that we don't get muddy feet every time we go to the backyard.

On the other side, Song Wenyuan handed the design drawings to Li Bowen right on time.

Li Bowen, puffing on his cigarette by the window, said, "Are you really determined to go to the toy factory?"

Song Wenyuan said, "My wife is new here, and Changle is still young. I'm worried about the two of them living here alone. If something happens, I won't be able to get back quickly from the county town by myself."

Li Bowen understood the subtext in his subordinate's words. He knew he had wronged him, but he still couldn't help but advise, "What happened before was my oversight. It will definitely not happen again. With your qualifications, you can be promoted after you recover from your injury. It's not impossible for you to reach my position in the future. If you go to the toy factory, the opportunities for advancement will be completely different."

"I know."

Li Bowen extinguished the cigarette in his hand, lit another one, took a drag and inhaled half of it before slowly exhaling.

“If it’s for them, you don’t have to go to the toy factory. As long as you identify yourself, you can come back anytime.”

Song Wenyuan remained silent.

How could he not know that he could come back at any time?

The question is whether his wife will accept him coming back.

What if he comes back and the other party still insists on divorce?

Although their relationship seems to be going well right now, his intuition tells him that it's not time to be honest yet.

“If you go to the toy factory and still can’t win Comrade Anning back, then you’ll have truly lost both your wife and your army. If you want to come back then, there’s no guarantee you’ll still have a place,” Li Bowen advised again.

Song Wenyuan remained silent.

Li Bowen quickly finished his second cigarette, slowly exhaling all the smoke from his lungs before finally letting out a sigh.

"Here's what we'll do. The list of students going to the Central Military Academy for further studies next year will be submitted by the end of June, and the official approval will be given by September. Even if you go to study, you won't be there until September. During the time before you go for further studies, you can stay at the toy factory. Half a year is enough time to do whatever you want. If it doesn't work out, that's your fate. You can't jeopardize your future because of this. You have to earn more child support for your daughter, right? I've met that little girl; she's incredibly cute."

Song Wenyuan didn't want to hear this outcome, but he knew that the regimental commander was doing it for his own good, so he finally nodded.

Li Bowen breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that his chosen subordinate was no longer stubborn, and only then did he have the mind to look at the planning map that Song Wenyuan had sent.

"It looks pretty good. I'll take it to them to see later. Maybe this good stuff won't end up in someone else's field."

He finished reading one page and moved on to the second, but stopped when he saw the complex circuit diagram.

"What's it called?"

“She and I have been working on the design blueprints for a remote-controlled helicopter recently,” Song Wenyuan said casually. “I think with some modifications, it could be used on the battlefield, whether for reconnaissance or bombing, it has a promising future.”

"Let me sort this out..." Li Bowen rubbed his temples. "You mean, this thing was made by you and your wife together?"

"A gift for the child."

"It's for the child?!?" Li Bowen's voice rose eight octaves.

Song Wenyuan pretended not to know what his superior was surprised about and continued, "I told her that the stun gun was given to the army by Xue Man. If there is a reward, remember to give it to her as well."

Li Bowen: "..."

Song Wenyuan: "I hope that after she joins the factory, the military can give her the opportunity to go to university for further studies. It's too much of a waste of her talents to be here."

Li Bowen: "I think it's a waste of her talent to be your wife. Even if you two divorce, I'll still keep her!"
