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

"What is that?"

"It looks like an airplane?"

"A pink airplane!"

"Is this from Comrade Anning's family? What has she done to the child this time?"

"My goodness! She can even build airplanes!"

Not only the family members, but even the children who were playing noticed what was happening and all rushed over.

"Shen Chang Le! Shen Chang Le? Is that you?"

Some of the faster children were running and shouting as they went, and Xu Pengfei was among them.

He had heard Shen Changle mention remote-controlled airplanes, but Shen Changle also said that remote-controlled airplanes were difficult to make and couldn't be made in a short time, so there was no urgency.

However, the plane was built right after the exam that morning.

The helicopter's rotor made a buzzing sound, and due to the materials and the precision of its construction, the helicopter flew crookedly in the sky.

Anning and Chen Hai tried everything they could to fix it, but for various reasons the helicopter's center of gravity would always shift, and in the end, all they could do was improve the propeller.

Even if the center of gravity is not very stable, as long as the propeller is strong enough, the plane will not be easily blown away by the wind or fall down easily.

With her mother's help, Shen Changle has already completed a helicopter take-off and landing.

She put down the remote control and hugged Anning tightly: "Mom, thank you!"

This hug warmed Anning's heart.

The comparison is the only way to feel hurt. The last time Xu Pengfei got the walkie-talkie, he immediately turned around and took his child out to play.

Compared to walkie-talkies, remote-controlled helicopters are obviously more appealing to children. But after playing with one, the little girl remembered to turn around and thank them, which was incredibly thoughtful.

Anning ruffled her hair vigorously: "Not only Mom, but Uncle Chen also helped a lot when we were building the helicopter!"

"Can I go and thank Uncle Chen?" Shen Changle asked tentatively.

“Sure! School’s out for the holidays anyway, how about Mom takes you to the county town to see Uncle Chen tomorrow?” An Ning readily agreed.

Her divorce from Song Wenyuan is a done deal. Since she has decided to be with Chen Hai, it is very important for the child to develop a relationship with him.

The Chinese New Year is just around the corner, and you can't just go out casually during such a special time, or people will gossip.

It would be good to meet before the New Year.

While the mother and daughter were chatting intimately, the rest of the children had already run to the gate.

Just like those young soldiers who came to help build the pavilion in Anning, they wanted to reach out and touch the pink helicopter, but they didn't dare.

This thing looks expensive. What if they break it by touching it?

But... that's an airplane!

Unlike the previous paper airplane, this one is a real flying airplane!

Although it was a bit small, apart from the color, it was almost identical to the planes they had seen before.

Pairs of eyes stared expectantly at Shen Changle, hoping she would let them play.

Shen Changle looked at her mother, Anning, who gave her an encouraging smile: "Go play, if you don't want anyone to play with it, it's okay to refuse, after all, it's your toy. Remember to come back for dinner later."

The children already knew An Ning would say that, so they didn't place their hopes on An Ning at all, but instead hoped that Shen Chang Le would soften her heart.

If it were a young girl who had just arrived at the army, she might have given up her good toys to others because of her previous habits. But with An Ning as her strong support, and having been led by Xu Pengfei, the little tyrant, for so long, plus the confidence she has accumulated in class, she has changed a lot and can even be considered a child with her own ideas.

"I understand! Mom, I'm going!"

Shen Changle walked away with the airplane in her arms, but Anning could still hear her negotiating with the other children.

"This airplane is difficult to build and breaks easily, so I can't let everyone play with it. If anyone behaves well, I can let them try. But if you break my airplane, you'll have to pay for it. Also, this airplane needs batteries to fly, and anyone who wants to play will have to pay for the batteries..."

Unbeknownst to many, Shen Changle had changed completely. He spoke very logically in front of other children and even knew to ask others to pay for the batteries.

Although the price of batteries is not unaffordable for Anning now, whose money comes from thin air?

It would be best if someone paid for it.

At noon, Shen Changle carried the airplane home for lunch on time.

In nearly an hour, the helicopter returned intact under the control of this group of wild, untamed children, demonstrating how much they valued it—far more than the large airplane they used to ride in.

When she left in the afternoon, Anning put some candy in her pocket and gave her a few spare batteries, telling her about the characteristics of an airplane when it runs out of power, before seeing her off.

Xu Pengfei from next door was already waiting at the door, just waiting for Xiao Ni'er to finish her meal and come out!

Not long after the children left, there was a knock on Anning's door. When she opened it, she was surprised to see Zhao Jihua.

He was carrying a bag containing coconuts, bananas, and a few wilted-looking apples.

Upon seeing An Ning, Zhao Jihua immediately handed the fruit he had brought to her, saying, "Comrade An Ning, I already know about what happened last night, and I'm truly sorry. I've already told my mother that she won't bother you anymore, so please accept these."

An Ning glanced at him, her attitude quite sincere, but whether Aunt Wu would come looking for trouble again was uncertain.

She accepted the gifts, but didn't give the other person a friendly look: "I hope so."

On the surface, Zhao Jihua appears to be the one who was implicated, but in reality, he did not act as a lubricant between his mother and wife; instead, he exacerbated the conflict between them.

Moreover, because he was unwilling to bear the stigma of being unfilial, he kept making his wife endure it, which ultimately led to this outcome.

Actually, if that's the case, then so be it; how other people live is none of her business.

The problem is that it's already affecting her, and Aunt Wu doesn't seem like the type to let this go so easily.

However, now that her leg is broken, she should behave herself for a while.

After seeing Zhao Jihua off, An Ning went to the courtyard, moved a small stool, and began to build the furniture for the pavilion.

She plans to make four bamboo chairs and then a barbecue grill.

Once this gazebo is usable, we can have barbecues inside.

When it's hot, you can even move your dinner to the gazebo.

Hmm... we should run another wire into the pavilion and install another light bulb.

That way, we can sit there in the evenings too.
