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

Anning and Zhao Xuemei had developed a certain tacit understanding during their time together. The two of them worked together, exchanging words and phrases that made Aunt Wu's expression quite interesting.

After finishing her business, Anning didn't forget to invite Zhao Xuemei and her son to have dinner together, which made Aunt Wu so angry that she turned around and left on the spot.

Afterwards, Zhao Xuemei stayed at Anning's house for a while before preparing to leave, but Anning asked her to stay.

"Sister-in-law, don't go! I'm not joking. Commander Li sent a lot of meat this time. It will spoil if left too long. Pengfei and the others will eat here when they come back from school."

"Hey, I just don't like that old woman! How could I actually eat your food? This braised pork didn't grow on trees. Besides, I still have rice cooking at home. If I come here to eat, what will happen to my rice?"

"Then let's bring it over and eat together," An Ning said. "I've been sending Ni'er to school to experience school life these past few days, so I'll have to ask your Pengfei to take good care of her. Consider this my reward for asking you for help!"

“Why are we talking about compensation when we’re neighbors? Pengfei is the older brother, and you’ve made so many toys for them. It’s only right that he takes care of his younger sister. He can’t just play with your toys for free, can he? You didn’t see how we used to send all the good stuff in the house to that kid when he wanted to play with Sun Weiguo’s toy cars.”

When talking about Sun Weiguo, it's inevitable to mention Tang Qiuqiao.

Tang Qiuqiao's husband did not participate in this battle, possibly because he was about to be transferred, or for other reasons.

Ever since An Ning saved her son, both Tang Qiuqiao and the chubby boy have become much more well-behaved. Everyone, adults and children alike, finds them much more agreeable than before.

It is said that they will leave in another two weeks.

At noon, the two children came back and were first attracted by the braised pork in the pot, and then they discovered two walkie-talkies on the table.

The items Li Bowen brought were much more exquisite than those from Anning, and even had camouflage paint. Xu Pengfei took them and didn't want to let go.

"Auntie, is this the walkie-talkie for us?"

The little girl also took the other one and curiously observed the various buttons on it. This new walkie-talkie was quite different from the one her mother had made before.

Zhao Xuemei slapped Xu Pengfei on the backside from behind: "Playing, playing, all you do all day is play. You've received so many good things from your aunt, have you even said thank you? I asked you to take your sister to school, did you even take good care of her?"

"Why do you keep hitting me?" Xu Pengfei said, rubbing his bottom, feeling very wronged. "With me around, how could Shen Changle be bullied at school? She even got praised by the teacher today!"

Upon hearing the praise for Xiao Ni'er, Zhao Xuemei immediately adopted a kind and gentle demeanor.

"Oh! Little girl, your teacher praised you at school? Come on, tell Auntie, what did your teacher say about you?"

The little girl was a little embarrassed by Zhao Xuemei's praise and said shyly, "She didn't praise me for anything, she just praised me for being able to memorize things quickly."

Xu Pengfei added from the side, "That's all thanks to me, okay? If I hadn't told the teacher that she had memorized that poem, the teacher wouldn't have known she memorized it so quickly! Shen Changle, quickly recite it to my mom and let her see how smart you are."

The little girl blinked, unsure whether she should start reciting her lessons at this moment.

This is a great opportunity to boost your child's confidence. Seeing this, Anning immediately said, "Mom also wants to hear what poems Ni'er learned today. How about Ni'er recites them for Mom?"

"Good~"

The little girl softly agreed.

"Thoughts on a Quiet Night, by Li Bai (Tang Dynasty): The bright moonlight shines before my bed, I wonder if it is frost on the ground. I raise my head to gaze at the bright moon, then lower my head and think of my hometown."

"it is good!"

As soon as Xiao Ni finished reciting, Xu Pengfei immediately cheered and clapped, then got slapped on the bottom by his own mother.

"What does your sister's talent have to do with you? Why are you so proud? Your sister is two years younger than you and she can already recite poems. What about you? Have you memorized them yet?"

Xu Pengfei's eyes darted around, and he stammered, "I...of course I memorized it!"

"Then recite it for me to hear."

Xu Pengfei's eyes were almost glued to the ceiling, as if he wanted to see words on it.

"Bed... Moonlight shines before my bed, two pairs of shoes lie on the floor. I raise my head to look at the moon, then lower it to sleep soundly."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Xuemei picked up her shoe and started hitting him. Xu Pengfei ran around the room yelling, not forgetting to protect the walkie-talkie in his arms, worried that he might accidentally break it.

An Ning chuckled: "It actually rhymes quite well."

Even though I didn't memorize it, I still managed to weave it very smoothly, which is a skill in itself.

Opening the pot lid and ladling out the braised pork, Xu Pengfei, who had just been yelling, immediately exclaimed "Wow!"

It's not that I've never eaten braised pork before, but that I've never eaten braised pork that looks so delicious.

The glistening chunks of meat, tightly coated in sauce, bounced a few times on the snow-white plate, their color enticing and their aroma irresistible—a true feast for both the eyes and the palate.

Even Zhao Xuemei couldn't help but take a few more glances.

"Girl, your cooking skills are just as good as the master chefs at state-run restaurants!"

She also brought out the lunch she had prepared from home: braised green beans and eggplant, a meat dish and a vegetable dish, and that was it.

After finishing their meal, forgetting that they had to go to school in the afternoon and not having learned how to use the new walkie-talkie, the two children immediately went out to show it off to their friends.

Zhao Xuemei took the initiative to help An Ning clear the dishes.

In the afternoon, Anning received a letter from Chen Hai.

The letter was the same as always; inside was a book.

However, this time it's not a basic book, but rather more in-depth content, about ship structures.

Chen Hai said he has ship models, the internal structure of which is manufactured to scale with real ships. If An Ning is interested, she can go to his place to see them.

Anning wasn't particularly interested in ships, but in the book, she saw an engine.

This is also a field she is familiar with.

In the apocalypse, having a car can greatly increase the survival rate of survivors.

However, while vehicles were relatively easy to obtain in the early stages, many good cars were scrapped later due to human activities.

Therefore, most of the survivors were very familiar with the structure of cars, a common mode of transportation, and were able to skillfully identify, disassemble, and repair usable parts from scrapped cars, and then assemble them into a new car.

Anning once rode in a military vehicle; vehicles from the 1970s were far inferior to those of later generations.

Speed ​​is one aspect, but problems arise when encountering uphill sections or when the vehicle is overloaded.

If the engine can be improved, China's influence in the international arena can be greatly enhanced.

Of course, Anning is not planning to do this now.

What she's showing now is already quite attention-grabbing; she just needs some time to put these things in a reasonable way.
