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

An Ning has figured out what gift to give Chen Hai.

On the very day they met, foreign spies sent to the island appeared on the ship.

Although the spies were captured by the soldiers, judging from the crew's reaction and his later paternalistic lecture, this was not the first time such a thing had happened.

Therefore, she decided to make a self-defense item for the other party.

Two choices came to her mind:

The first one is a Swiss Army knife.

Swiss Army knives are versatile, compact, and portable, making them easy to carry. They are not only useful in dangerous situations but also provide great convenience in the wild.

However, Swiss Army knives have high material requirements, and when she modified the entrenching tool, she was limited by the materials, so many functions could not be added.

However, since the shovel itself is large enough, as long as there is enough material, the added features can still meet the usage requirements.

But a Swiss Army knife won't work.

Swiss Army knives are inherently small, so if the materials aren't up to par, even if she creates an identical shape, it won't have the same effect.

The second one is a stun gun.

This thing may not have many functions, but it's convenient for dealing with dangerous individuals; a single touch will knock them down.

Moreover, while the materials are somewhat difficult to obtain, they are definitely not as difficult as those for a Swiss Army knife.

As for tools, she could use tools for modifying walkie-talkies, or even use transistors from radios to create a boost circuit, so she wouldn't have to worry about the current dry cell batteries not having enough voltage.

After much deliberation, Anning ultimately chose the second option.

However, she drew up blueprints for a Swiss Army knife and some other useful knives she had used in the apocalypse. Although she didn't know if she would ever need them, she planned to give them to Li Bowen when she had time, hoping to get some reward in return.

An Ning had just finished drawing when Xu Pengfei rushed in.

"Auntie, is your walkie-talkie ready yet? Why don't you lend me the working pair to play with? Everyone says I'm lying!"

This kid is a little tyrant in front of his mother, but he learns to act cute in front of Anning.

Immediately, Zhao Xuemei's scolding voice echoed from next door: "Don't give it to him! This kid is spoiled rotten. It's not his stuff to brag about to others. He should handle his own affairs."

Following Xu Pengfei, Xiao Ni'er also entered the house.

She opened her big, bright eyes, and with a pleading look, sweetly called out, "Mommy!"

Come on.

Her daughter is completely siding with outsiders, what can she do?

Anyway, this thing was made for her, so Anning didn't bother to keep her in suspense any longer and took out the walkie-talkie she had just finished last night and the pair she had made with Chen Hai before.

"Come on, I'll teach you how to use it."

After waiting for so long, Xu Pengfei was overjoyed to finally get his new toy, but he still patiently listened to An Ning's explanation.

There's really not much to teach. There are only two buttons on the walkie-talkie: one is the power button, and the other is the talk button.

The power is provided by batteries, and each dry cell battery costs three cents. With so many children, if each person contributes a little, it's enough for them to play with.

After explaining how to use the walkie-talkie, Anning taught the two children a few simple tactics: "Isn't your goal to plant your flag in the enemy's camp? So you don't need to confront them head-on every time. Send a team to lure out the enemy's camp guards, and then have one person sneak in to plant the flag. This is called 'luring the tiger away from the mountain'."

The other side might also send someone to ambush you. You can send one person to deliberately expose a weakness, while the others watch to see where the person is hiding. When the other side attacks, you can then take them down. This is called luring the snake out of its hole.

With walkie-talkies, you can select a commander to observe the enemy's movements from a high vantage point and then make arrangements for your actions.

There are many other tactics. Aren't you familiar with many of the uncles in the army?

"Go ask them for advice whenever you have free time, and then figure out how to apply it to your game. You'll have no trouble winning the right to use the plane!"

"Okay!" Xu Pengfei happily agreed.

Although more than half a month has passed, toy airplanes still hold great appeal for them.

What child wouldn't want to have an airplane to ride in?

Moreover, Anning now lets them win the right to use the plane through games, which makes it feel more fun psychologically.

"Shen Chang Le, let's go!"

Xu Pengfei ran away, taking An Ning's child with him.

An Ning shook her head helplessly, but it was a good thing nonetheless.

Back in her hometown, Xiao Ni didn't want to go out and play with other children because she would become Song Dabao's target for bullying whenever she went out.

After spending some time here with Xu Pengfei, I've become much more cheerful, and things will definitely get better from here on out.

After the two children had walked away, Zhao Xuemei came to Anning's door: "Little sister, are you going to go beachcombing today? I saw you were busy yesterday, so I didn't call you. You should be free today, right?"

"Row."

An Ning thought about it for a moment and agreed.

She had received Chen Hai's letter several days ago. She originally wanted to send the letter and the gift together, but since the gift couldn't be made in a short time, she decided to see if she could find any good seafood to make into canned goods that could be stored for a long time, and bring them to him together!

Unfortunately, the entrenching tool was handed in along with the blueprints, so she has to buy a new one.

"Xuemei, Anning, you're here quite early!"

Along the way, many military wives greeted them.

Compared to last time, there was more sincerity and less of a desire to watch the spectacle.

There were also military wives who had performed with us on New Year's Day, and they came over on their own initiative.

Did Tang Qiuqiao come to the beach yesterday?

"No, I didn't see it."

"Maybe it's not in this area, but somewhere else?"

"Didn't she say before that she was from Shanghai? Shanghai is also by the sea, and there is often seafood to eat. Did she find beachcombing troublesome?"

"That's what she said, but in reality, she came every single time the tide came, without missing a single one."

"I know that. Apparently, she was always dragged along by her best friends; she never volunteered herself. Hehe!"

"After doing something like this, she still dares to go beachcombing with us? She's got some nerve."

"I heard that her husband is planning to use his connections to transfer away from the island."

"Really? Her husband has only been stationed at the border for a little over two years, right? Can he be transferred back?"

"Transfer them to other border areas; they don't know the situation there."

"She should have left a long time ago. I couldn't stand her arrogant attitude."

"Hey? Isn't that Tang Qiuqiao?" a military wife suddenly asked, pointing in a direction.

"It really seems to be her. How could she have the nerve to come out and go beachcombing after doing something like this?"

"I heard they lost a lot of money to the song and dance troupe, so they're probably trying to salvage some things to sell to the supply and marketing cooperative to supplement their income!"

"What are you doing over there, Anning? Be careful she gets angry and attacks you."

An Ning smiled at them and said, "It's nothing. I just have a question that I don't understand and I wanted to ask her. Don't worry about me."

Tang Qiuqiao is usually surrounded by people like a star, but today she went to the beach all by herself.

An Ning felt that she might be able to find out the reason why Qiao Shanshan was targeting her from Tang Qiuqiao's words.
