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

Anning wasn't actually interested in children's games, but she hoped that these games could help improve Xiaoni'er's personality.

Because she was bullied and oppressed from a young age, Xiao Ni always felt inferior to others.

Anning had talked to her about this issue before and told her that no one would bully her anymore, but it didn't seem to work very well.

Today, she saw her daughter make her first change, and it was the perfect time to strike while the iron was hot and build her confidence.

After lunch, Anning made two small flags, one red and one blue. The children outside had also finished eating and gradually gathered around.

However, due to An Ning's oppressive aura, they dared not call out directly, but instead sneaked over to check from time to time.

When Anning saw that most of the people had arrived, she went out.

She waved the flag: "Look at me, everyone. Let me explain the rules of the game..."

The game Anning was talking about was actually a modified version of a military exercise combined with later-day games.

She divided the children into red and blue teams, and marked out the locations of their respective base camps within the family area. Within the family area, members of both teams could use any method to go to the other team's base camp, and the team that first planted its own flag in the other team's base camp would win.

"You guys try it out today, and I'll make some weapons and equipment you can use in the game later."

Children in the military region are influenced by soldiers and will imitate their tactical movements and play war games, but it is not systematic.

Anning has ideas about this game.

Since it's a competitive game, and we can't let them fight, we have to find a substitute.

One is a gun.

Toy guns that use plastic bullets can easily hurt people, but she saw a lot of foam at the scrap yard today. If she made bullets from the foam, it wouldn't be a big problem.

Although it will affect the range, it's not a big deal for these children, as long as the range is five meters.

The other is protective gear.

Regardless, protection must still be done well.

Cardboard is cheap and convenient to make into armor. You can also make it easy to see the bullets by coating them with powder and hitting them on the cardboard. This makes it easy to identify eliminated enemies. It can also be reused by tapping it.

For the last piece of equipment, Anning prepared to make a walkie-talkie.

Children's walkie-talkies don't need to be so demanding; occasional malfunctions are fine as long as they can communicate within 500 meters.

This walkie-talkie is not technically difficult to make, and the materials are readily available. She could use the components she took from two old radios she bought from a junkyard with a few minor modifications.

However, electrical appliances were very valuable in those days, and people wouldn't throw them away unless they were broken beyond repair.

Moreover, the county town on the island is not very economically developed, and very few people are willing to spend money to buy radios. As a result, Anning only saw two radios in the entire recycling station, and she bought them both.

If we want to support these kids playing games on walkie-talkies, each team would need at least two.

There are also some tools used for frequency tuning that you won't find at a recycling station.

An Ning suddenly thought of Chen Hai.

Chen Hai, being a crew member, travels back and forth between the port and the ships every day, so he has access to a lot of things. Maybe he can get some for her.

However, it's unclear when the other party will return.

Why don't we write a letter and send it over to ask?

She should go over when he has time and asks her to.

After all, the county town is quite a distance from the military base, and even cycling there would be tiring, so it wouldn't be worth the trip.

Thinking of this, Anning said to the children, "Once everyone is familiar with it, we will start a competition. The winning team will have the right to use the toy airplane, and the children on the losing team will have to get the consent of the winning team if they want to play with the airplane. In addition, I will prepare some prizes to reward the winning children."

The children were overjoyed to hear that there were prizes for playing games, and they gathered in twos and threes to discuss who would be paired with whom.

Xu Pengfei, the leader of the kids, became everyone's first choice for invitation, but he didn't seem happy.

When Anning asked him, he said he didn't understand: "That airplane was made by you for me and Shen Changle to play with. Even if it's broken, it can be fixed. And if it can't be fixed, we can still play with it. Why did you take it out as a reward for everyone?"

Anning patted his head: "Don't you get tired of playing with the same toy all the time?"

"of course not!"

"What if there are new toys?"

Xu Pengfei thought for a moment: "Even if both were mine, I wouldn't."

Anning: ...Why are kids these days so hard to fool?

"If there's something delicious, do you think it's better to eat it alone in private, or to eat it while everyone is watching you eat it?"

Xu Pengfei imagined himself standing in front of his friends eating popsicles, while the others drooled and watched him eat with longing, unable to get any for themselves. He felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction and couldn't help but touch the corner of his mouth.

"It tastes good when everyone sees me eating it."

"That settles it!" An Ning spread her hands. "Isn't the right to use something earned through your own strength more satisfying than playing it on your own?"

"Yes……"

Is that right?

Xu Pengfei sensed that something was wrong, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

"So what you should be thinking about now is what strategy you can develop to win the game. That way, you'll still be playing the game, won't you?"

Xu Pengfei was instantly energized: "Great! Don't worry, Auntie, I'll definitely help Shen Changle win!"

As he spoke, he grabbed the little girl and ran off.

An Ning went back to her room, intending to ask Zhao Xuemei for help in making the gun needed for the game.

No need to do much, five games per team is enough.

The materials are the same as those for toy airplanes; the trigger mechanism is made of wood and rubber bands, and the exterior is made of cardboard.

Foam bullets are inserted directly into the barrel, saving time and effort.

However, Anning's earlier worries came true.

However, the other party was not looking for her, but for Zhao Xuemei.

"Zhao Xuemei, your son beat my son like this, shouldn't you give me an explanation?"

Sun Weiguo's mother, along with Sun Weiguo, blocked Zhao Xuemei's doorstep.

An Ning looked at the chubby boy. Before the meal, nothing seemed amiss, but now his eyes were completely bruised.

Zhao Xuemei was making shoes inside when she heard someone calling outside, so she went out to see what was going on.

Upon seeing the bruises on Sun Weiguo's face, he immediately flew into a rage.

The place where the children had their conflict before lunch was a bit far from here, and Xu Pengfei didn't tell her when he came back. Then he went out to play again in the afternoon.

It's impossible not to be angry when someone comes knocking on your door without you being prepared.

“I’ll call him back right now to apologize to Sun Weiguo,” Zhao Xuemei said.

But Anning stopped her: "Sister-in-law, don't rush. I know a little about this. Why don't we listen to this sister-in-law's demands first, and then call the child back to resolve the issue? After all, Pengfei is impatient, and it wouldn't be good if he angered your sister-in-law again."
