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

Young people of this era seem to always be so energetic; after a meal, the fatigue from an afternoon's work is immediately relieved.

Two people rushed to clean up the mess; one was in charge of tidying up, and the other was in charge of fetching water to wash the dishes. The remaining four people worked together: three of them put up the roof, and one of them mixed cement underneath to prepare for building the platform.

With such a commotion in the courtyard, the residents in this row had already noticed what was happening.

Most people just glanced at it casually. Many of the furniture in the homes of the military wives living here was made by the soldiers. They could build a pavilion in the backyard, but they felt that it would be a waste of space. They thought it would be better to order more dishes to save money.

Only Aunt Wu next door took it to heart. She pretended to be busy, repeatedly going in and out of her yard, keeping a close eye on Anning's situation.

Finally, the roof was completed. A young soldier climbed up to test its sturdiness, and when he turned his head, he saw Anning's helicopter under the eaves. His eyes widened in amazement.

"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, is that a helicopter?"

He jumped directly down from the top of the pavilion, wiped his hands on his clothes, but didn't dare to touch it. He only dared to stand under the eaves and watch.

The other young soldiers were the same; as soon as they entered the room, they started working hard without paying any attention to what was happening here.

Now that the work was almost finished, he looked up and looked this way after hearing what his comrade said.

Anning generously took the helicopter down to show everyone: "This is a New Year's gift I gave to my daughter. You can pick it up and look at it."

The pinkish-white helicopter was held in An Ning's fair hands. A young soldier reached out to touch it, but when he saw that his hands were much darker, he withdrew them.

"No need, no need, we'll just take a look."

"Sister-in-law, did you make this yourself?"

They had heard about Anning before they came. They heard that their entrenching tools were improved by the incredibly beautiful sister-in-law in front of them, but they hadn't been mass-produced yet. After the New Year, they should replace their tools in batches.

She also made many toys for her own children. Not only did the children like them, but some of her comrades also used their spare time to make one.

“It was something I did with another comrade.” An Ning twirled the airplane propeller with her hand. “Do you think it looks real?”

"It looks just like it! It looks incredibly like it! Even better than the real thing!"

They have a helicopter here that was scrapped from somewhere else. It looks dilapidated, but they treat it like a precious treasure. They arrange for someone to inspect it every day, and many soldiers have used this as an excuse to go and see it.

The more they looked at it, the more envious they became, but since it was clearly very valuable, they eventually managed to look away.

"Alright, sister-in-law, you can take it back and put it away. We need to get back to work."

"There's no need to rush, you can rest a little longer."

"It's alright, it's alright. Let's finish quickly and go back soon, it'll be dark soon."

The soldiers were just being polite, of course. It was only a little past four o'clock, not even five o'clock yet, and there was still a long time before it got dark!

However, An Ning really couldn't offer any promises, so she might as well take the opportunity they gave her and skip the topic.

She tiptoed and put the helicopter back under the eaves. When she looked up, she saw Aunt Wu hurriedly looking away in the yard next door.

She frowned but didn't say anything.

About an hour later, the two children had returned home and were arranged by Anning to eat next door. The soldiers also finished painting the last coat of paint on the pavilion and repaired the platform underneath to make it smooth and even.

They built a path between the back door of the house and the pavilion using pebbles and leftover cement, so that shoes wouldn't get muddy when passing through the house.

Yan Fei wiped the sweat from his forehead: "Sister-in-law, that's pretty much it. Don't worry about the wooden planks over there, I'll come and take them down for you in a few days when the cement dries. See what you want to plant in that field, and I'll bring you some seeds to plant together."

"No need, no need, the rest is simple, I can do it myself."

The plot of land that Anning left to cultivate wasn't very big, and it wouldn't take much effort for her to grow it herself, so there was no need to trouble them to come back again.

However, the enthusiastic soldiers still cleaned the house inside and out for her, and filled both her and Zhao Xuemei's buckets with water again before leaving.

After everyone had left, Shen Changle, still somewhat shy due to historical issues, returned home.

"mom!"

Yesterday, her mother told her that people would come to help build the pavilion today, but she didn't expect so many people to come. Guided by her mother, she timidly greeted everyone and then ran to the next room.

I can't wait to see what the backyard looks like now.

Considering the island's climate, the pavilion wasn't built with a roof; otherwise, it would be very noisy during heavy rain.

Furthermore, Anning plans to plant grapevines next to the pavilion. If the pavilion isn't covered, the grapes will hang down from it, creating a more picturesque scene.

As for mosquitoes and the like, Anning obtained a prescription from an old traditional Chinese medicine doctor she saved during the apocalypse, and the effect was quite good, so she naturally didn't have to worry about such issues.

Anning was worried that the child might accidentally damage the cement road behind her, so she pulled her to the door and gave her a warning.

The child indeed dared not go into the backyard again.

That's good too; hiding the plane there will make it more concealed, and she won't find it until the paint smell dissipates.

But thinking about Aunt Wu's suspicious behavior next door, Anning was a little uneasy. Seeing the low wall surrounding the backyard, an idea came to her mind.

Around six o'clock, Aunt Wu's sharp and high-pitched cursing came from next door again.

No one made a sound, and even An Ning had become accustomed to it.

When she first arrived, Aunt Wu's son was at home almost every day, so Aunt Wu became much more restrained.

But during this time, her son seemed to have gone out on a mission, and Anning hadn't seen him for several days, which led to her current state.

Not long after, Guo Shuzhen came out carrying a bucket and headed towards the well.

Anning frowned again, and even the little girl couldn't help but ask, "Mommy, did that auntie get scolded?"

Anning patted her head, intending to change the subject, but thinking of Aunt Wu's temperament, she changed her words again: "That aunt's mother-in-law has a bad temper and always likes to scold people. Ni'er, stay away from her if you see her, okay?"

"it is good."

The little girl nodded seriously, then asked, "That auntie looks like she's having a hard time. Can I go and help her?"

Anning didn't want to get involved in this mess, but thinking of the paleness she had seen on Guo Shuzhen's face earlier, she decided to set an example for her child: "You're too young to help her. Mom will go help her. You stay home and be good."
