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

After receiving the snacks from An Ning, Yan Fei took out a temporary entry and exit permit valid for one month.

With this certificate, Anning no longer needs anyone to come to the gate to pick her up when she enters or leaves the military base; she can ride her bicycle wherever she wants.

However, when she arrived at the dock, she was greeted by a stranger on the crew.

"Is this Comrade Shen Anning?"

"it's me."

"Hai-ge went with the ship. He told me to give you the bicycle. Wait a minute."

Soon, a black bicycle was pushed in front of Anning.

The bicycle was spotless, with fresh oil on the chain. Apart from a few welding marks on the frame, it looked no different from a brand new bike sold in a department store.

"Thank you." Anning tried riding it a couple of times and felt there weren't any major problems. "How much did it cost? I'll give you the money."

The crew member scratched his head: "Well... Hai-ge didn't tell me. Why don't you give it to him yourself when he gets back?"

“Alright then.” Anning said, taking out the squid strips she had prepared. “These are squid strips I made myself. They’re a thank-you gift for him. Please give them to him for me. I’ll come back to see him next time.”

"okay."

After An Ning left, the crew headed towards a certain direction on the dock, where a tall, thin figure appeared.

The crew member complained, "Brother Hai, you're right here, why didn't you just bring the car to her yourself? She asked me how much it cost, and I told her to bring it to you herself next time."

"Ah."

Song Wenyuan did not answer his previous question. Instead, he took the two oil paper packages from the other man's hand, opened one package, took out a stick and put it in his mouth.

"Did she give this to me?"

"Yes, she made the squid strips herself, saying it was a thank-you gift for you... Ouch!" The crew member suddenly looked up, staring incredulously at his superior. "Brother Hai, you wouldn't happen to have feelings for this mother and daughter, would you? She's married with a child, and she's our comrade's wife! Shouldn't that count as breaking up a military marriage?"

Then he got a flick on the forehead.

"What nonsense are you spouting? That's my wife. She came here looking for me. It's just that I've changed so much over the years, and I haven't been home for a while, so she didn't recognize me at first."

"Huh? No... Brother Hai... Company Commander! You got married!!!"

He got slapped again.

"What are you yelling about? We're on a mission. What if our information gets leaked?"

The crew member rubbed his head, looking aggrieved: "Isn't this our liaison station? How could the information have been leaked?"

"Do you think the higher-ups assigned us to this liaison station?"

Crew member: "...I was wrong. But when did you get married?"

Song Wenyuan chewed on the squid strips with relish: "I remember saying that on the first day I took you guys under my wing?"

"But you don't even have a picture of your wife and daughter on you! It's one thing if you don't mention it normally, but you've written home less than a handful of times in the past few years. Who knows if what you're saying is true!"

Song Wenyuan: "...Don't worry about it. Anyway, I'll find a way to bring you back after this mission is over. You can keep an eye on things for me then."

He married Shen Anning mainly to appease his parents.

He liked her, and she was accepting of his job, so they got married.

Every month he would fulfill his obligation by sending ten yuan back home, so that his marriage to her would not have been in vain.

Later, he received a letter from home saying that he had a child, and he thought of bringing the child to the army. However, due to the mission arrangements from above, this plan was indefinitely postponed.

Unexpectedly, when they met again, she was completely different from the shy girl he remembered.

Now, she is intelligent and independent. The scene of her fighting back against the female spy on the ship struck him hard and lingered in his mind.

······

Having gotten the bicycle, Anning rode it to the scrap metal recycling station.

This was inspired by Chen Hai last time. She wanted to come here to buy some materials to modify the back seat of her bicycle so that her child could sit steadily on it.

While we're at it, let's see if there's anything we can use and buy it too.

The man guarding the scrap collection station was an elderly man in his sixties, sitting alone on a small stool in front of a chessboard, playing chess by himself.

Anning greeted him, but he only glanced at her and told her that everything was sold by weight, then told her to go in and choose for herself.

At first glance, the scrap metal recycling station is a mess of things; you can find everything imaginable and even things you can't.

But upon closer inspection, you'll find that the items inside are actually categorized: metal items are in one pile, paper items in another, plastic items in another, glass items in another, and even rags are included.

Anning found two radios inside that were in good condition, and also pieced together a set of hand tools. She also found several books on physics and mechanics from the paper products section.

Books from this era are different from those of later generations; they emphasize practicality and don't rely on much basic theory.

For example, in mechanical books, the structure of several things is listed, and then the function of each structure of the item is introduced, and then people are taught how to assemble it.

The principle and basic structure of remote control toys are simple. With these things, she can make remote control toys for her little girl.

Besides these things, Anning also knew that very valuable antiques and paintings often appeared in the scrap yards of this era. During the apocalypse, she even heard that someone had found a whole set of golden nanmu furniture there.

Unfortunately, she didn't travel from ancient times, but from the apocalypse.

She knew perfectly well what was useful, but she had absolutely no idea what was valuable.

However, since she was already there, she decided to take advantage of the opportunity and chose a set of colorful gold-rimmed bowls, plates, and chopsticks that looked quite expensive.

If anyone asks, she can just say she saw something pretty and that she can use it for dinner without anyone reporting her.

This whole bunch of stuff, plus the materials she initially needed to modify the bicycle's back seat, cost Anning a total of eleven yuan, which was much cheaper than if she had bought a new one herself.

It only takes half an hour to get from the military base to the county town by car, but it took Anning two hours to cycle back to the military base from the county town.

She brought these things with her, intending to surprise Nier and then work with her to make even more interesting toys.

However, before Anning even reached her lodgings, she could hear a group of children arguing from afar, with Xu Pengfei being the loudest.

The canopy of the toy airplane that was once very popular fell to the ground, and the little girl stood by wiping away tears, while several other girls surrounded her to comfort her.

"I've told you a hundred times already, that airplane is made of paper and can't get wet, and you still want to shoot water guns at it!" Xu Pengfei shouted in despair.

The chubby boy standing in front of him raised his hands and puffed out his chest, speaking with righteous indignation: "How do I know it can't get wet? Besides, who told you not to let me play with it! I'm going to shoot, I'm going to shoot! Hehehe! Go ahead and hit me if you dare!"

An Ning felt something was wrong when she heard this.

Sure enough, as soon as the chubby boy finished speaking, Xu Pengfei threw a punch, hitting him right in the eye socket.

The other children were not to be outdone, and they split into two teams, engaging in a fierce fight.
