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

After calming the two children down, Anning wanted to invite Zhao Xuemei to her place for dinner, but Zhao Xuemei insisted on keeping her there instead, saying she was already preparing to cook. Anning then took half of the snacks she had bought for Xiaoni'er and ate them together.

Zhao Xuemei is a very nice neighbor. She is warm, knows her place, and doesn't pester Anning with questions, so Anning is quite willing to continue associating with her.

Xu Pengfei was a bit too lively, or maybe the plane was keeping him hooked. Even during meals, he couldn't shut up and kept asking Anning questions about the plane.

After finishing the last bite of his meal, he couldn't wait to throw his chopsticks on the table and started making a fuss about wanting to ride an airplane. His mother then held him down and beat him with a broom, which finally calmed him down.

Seeing that he couldn't sit still, Anning simply told him to go find the materials for making the airplane: "Since you've finished eating, go and find some cardboard for Auntie!"

"okay!"

Having been given the task, Xu Pengfei felt like a soldier entrusted with a heavy responsibility. He ran out quickly, eager to complete the mission as soon as possible.

After Xiao Ni finished eating, An Ning took her to the military service center and bought the tools needed for flying.

When she and Xiao Ni'er returned, Xu Pengfei was already waiting at home, with a stack of things taller than him placed at the door—a huge stack of cardboard boxes.

An Ning couldn't help but rub her forehead: "Where did you get all this? How did you get so much?"

Xu Pengfei chuckled, "I asked Uncle Lei to help me with this. I told him I wanted to build a big airplane, and he found it for me! Auntie, let's build a big one!"

"From the logistics department," Zhao Xuemei explained in a low voice. "That brat is a devil in front of kids, but he's very sweet-talking in front of adults."

“Large planes can’t take off,” An Ning said.

"what--"

Xu Pengfei drew out his disappointment.

“But it can run on flat ground like a car,” Anning added. “The small plane can fly.”

Xu Pengfei was caught in a dilemma.

Instead, the little girl next to her gently tugged at Anning's pants: "Mommy, can I have both?"

“Okay, do both!” An Ning immediately decided.

This was the first time the child had made a request of her, and she didn't think it was excessive, so she naturally complied.

Anyway, she had nothing to do lately and still had savings. If Song Wenyuan didn't come back, she would consider ways to make money.

"Great!"

Xu Pengfei, who also benefited from Xiao Ni'er, became happy as well.

Anning originally wanted to make a cool model out of cardboard for her two kids, but since she was going to make a big one, she decided to make one that the two little ones could sit in.

So she asked Zhao Xuemei to help her find some wood to build the airplane frame so that it could support the weight of the two children.

First, draw a blueprint, then cut out the cardboard according to the blueprint.

After the two children made things worse by ruining two pieces of cardboard, Anning used scrap cardboard and rubber bands to make a rubber band-powered airplane for each of them, and then chased them out.

Unlike later models where rubber band-powered airplanes can easily fly for ten minutes, the ones she made could fly for several tens of seconds, which was enough for the two children to show off to other children.

In fact, if she had enough materials, she could even build a remote-controlled airplane.

However, the original owner of this body had not studied this kind of knowledge. If she had managed to do it, she would probably have been treated as a spy on the spot.

However, there is a library in the military base, so she can go there when she has free time and borrow some books on this subject to prepare for her future needs.

After the two children left, Zhao Xuemei, having nothing else to do, also joined the team building airplanes.

Compared to the two children who made things worse, she did Anning a great favor.

Zhao Xuemei was responsible for cutting out wooden sticks of the required size for Anning, while Anning was responsible for refining and assembling the wooden sticks to form the upper support of the aircraft.

As for the bottom, she originally thought about whether to make a sturdy wooden chassis, or a pedal like a bicycle so that the two of them could ride it.

But then I thought about it again, and realized that doing so risked hitting someone.

The cabin can be designed like a stroller, allowing two children to sit inside and slide on their legs. This is not only safe but also saves on materials.

At most, you could just put a steering wheel in the front so the plane's wheels could turn in the right direction, which would save her a lot of trouble.

After working enthusiastically for two or three hours, the outline of the plane began to appear.

Anning and Zhao Xuemei were just about to rest when they heard children making a fuss in the distance.

"I don't believe it! How could a junk collector possibly build a large airplane? Only scientists could do that!"

Xu Pengfei's voice was especially loud: "Fine, you don't believe me then! You even called Shen Changle's mother a junk collector, and now that the plane is built, you won't be allowed to ride it! None of the kids you play with can ride it either!"

"Xu Pengfei, I believe you! I won't play with him anymore, let me sit here." A child immediately pledged his loyalty.

With such a leader, the other children, one after another, isolated the child who initially said he didn't believe.

An Ning and Zhao Xuemei looked at each other, and Zhao Xuemei smiled awkwardly: "Oh! This troublesome child!"

An Ning smiled nonchalantly and looked at the airplane frame placed by the door: "It's a good thing we didn't slack off, otherwise it would have been embarrassing if the two kids had brought people over and there was only a pile of waste paper here."

"What do kids care about saving face? You spoil them. I usually don't even bother with that brat!" Zhao Xuemei said with a laugh. "Besides, the little ones you made for them earlier are enough for them to play with for a while. They can fly much better than the paper airplanes he folded from newspapers. If you bring out this one, I'm afraid he'll get too cocky."

That's what she said, but she didn't slack off at all when she was helping out.

"How could that be? When children are young, it's important to cultivate their interests. Your Pengfei is so interested in airplanes; who knows, he might become a pilot or a researcher who builds airplanes in the future?"

"As for pilots and researchers, based on his grades in school, I'd be satisfied if he could finish high school and join the military like his dad!"

The two had only chatted for a few minutes when Xu Pengfei arrived with a large group of children.

Their gazes immediately locked onto the already nascent aircraft skeleton, and they exclaimed in amazement.

Xu Pengfei put his hands on his hips triumphantly: "See? What did I tell you? What you see now is the airplane's skeleton. An airplane is like a person; it's supported by a skeleton. Only after the skeleton is built can we paste cardboard on it and paint it, making it look exactly like a real airplane."

Anning had told him this before, and now he was repeating it himself, which made him look good. The group of children immediately surrounded him.

"Xu Pengfei, I'll get you the rock candy my mom bought. Can you let me sit first?"

"It's just rock candy! I have White Rabbit milk candy, it's much tastier than rock candy, I'll go get it for you in a bit!"

"I have chocolate at home, it's a rare treat from abroad!"

"..."

"Quiet down!" Xu Pengfei, like a little adult, raised his hand to maintain order, then pulled the little girl to his side. "The person on the plane is Shen Changle's mother. If you want to ride, you have to get Shen Changle's permission. If she doesn't agree, no one can ride!"

Upon hearing this, the person who had been fawning over her immediately became Xiao Ni'er, and her attitude towards her completely reversed.
