118: Children's Playground

Today, because Feng Bao was out, Xu Bai didn't practice shooting during his lunch break.

He took the cardss he made last night and, with Xu Le, walked towards the military district's daycare center.

"Brother, Wang Hui."

Xu Le saw the older boy who played with him yesterday and rushed over like a cannonball.

Immediately after.

With a "thump," he fell onto the grass.

Xu Le sat up, pouted, and looked like he was about to cry.

But seeing his new friend, he didn't want to lose face in front of him.

So he clapped his hands and stood up again.

"Lele is strong, don't cry."

Wang Hui also saw Xu Le at this moment, and of course, he saw him fall like a frog.

He quickly ran over to help Xu Le brush the grass off his body.

Hearing Lele's words of comfort, he also praised, "Mm, Lele is very strong. Is Lele here to play again today?"

"Mm. Brother brought toys, let's play together."

Hearing about toys, the children gathered around them in a rush.

"Toys! Toys!"

"What toys?"

"I want toys!"

"Do we all get some?"

"Yes, toys!"

...The children chattered, all speaking at once.

Fortunately, the auntie looking after the children today noticed Xu Bai's predicament and came over to rescue him.

"Children, don't get too close. This toy is a bit big. I'll find a big space to take it out."

"Wow~"

Hearing it was a big toy, everyone exclaimed in unison again.

Children's reactions are the most direct, and a sense of pride welled up in Xu Bai's heart.

He didn't keep them in suspense and first took out the large toy that could be played with immediately—a slide.

The children saw the large toy appear before them and shouted in unison again.

After Xu Bai taught them how to play, the children immediately went to play.

"Hahahahaha"... The courtyard was filled with the happy sounds of children. They were lining up one by one to go down the slide, and the caregivers watched nearby, constantly monitoring their safety.

Wang Hui, the older brother, held Xu Le's hand as they queued for the slide. After two turns, another toy nearby caught Wang Hui's attention.

"What is this, Brother Xu Le?"

Hearing Wang Hui's words, Xu Bai got up and walked to his side, replying, "This is a twist car."

With that, he sat on the car and demonstrated, turning the steering wheel left and right, and the car moved forward.

This was Xu Bai's childhood memory; who hadn't ridden a twist car when they were little?

Seeing Xu Bai, Wang Hui quickly got onto a twist car.

At the same time, he didn't forget to comfort Xu Le: "Lele, you stay here for a moment. Brother will be back after one lap."

"Lele wants to too." Xu Le tugged on Wang Hui's clothes, pleading pitifully.

Wang Hui had no choice. After thinking for a moment, he still got off the car.

"ε=(´ο｀*))) Ah, alright, who told me I'm the big brother? You're still small, and big brother can't protect you. Let's not ride it then."

The little person sighed a big sigh.

Xu Bai, who was nearby, stepped in to smooth things over: "Lele, Brother will take you, and Wang Hui can ride by himself. Let's see who's faster."

"Okay!" "Okay!"

The two little ones were very happy with this suggestion.

"Hahahaha, Brother Lele, I passed you!"

Wang Hui laughed triumphantly.

"Brother, go! Brother, slow!"

Xu Le waved his small hands, wanting to pass the car in front.

Looking at the little guy in front who was complaining about him, a sly smile flashed in Xu Bai's eyes.

He extended his long leg and pushed back.

With a 'whoosh,' he shot to the very front.

Wang Hui and Xu Le were both stunned.

"Ah ah ah ah~, Brother Lele, you cheated! Ah ah ah ah~"

...The auntie watching nearby also laughed, finding it very amusing.

The commotion here also attracted the attention of children nearby. Several children who were queuing behind also came over to play with the twist cars... Wang Hui's father came to check on his little chubby son every lunchtime. Today, from a distance, he heard his son's loud shouts.

Something's happened!

He took three steps in two and reached the entrance of the daycare center.

But he found that his son was not in danger, just playing wildly.

So he didn't disturb them and stood outside watching the children play... Xu Bai played a few rounds, then stopped and immediately noticed Wang Hui's father.

Wang Hui came over, pulling Xu Le to play with other toys.

Xu Bai walked to Wang Hui's father's side.

"Wang Hui is really well-taught. How do you teach your child at home?"

When adults with children chat, the conversation always starts with their children.

"It's not me who taught him. I actually don't have much time to spend with my child most of the time.

So every day after lunch, I come over to see him.

Wang Hui learned from Teacher Sun's youngest son."

Xu Bai hadn't expected to pick up the half-finished gossip from before today.

"Is it convenient to ask about Teacher Sun's youngest son?"

"Did you also learn something from General Liu and Teacher Sun's conversation?

Teacher Sun has always been an expert in researching weapon cardss. Do you know why he always wanted to research weapons?"

"To fight against the mutated beasts?" Xu Bai guessed, after all, the purpose of weapons now is to fight mutated beasts.

"Indeed, that's the ultimate goal, but the reason is that Teacher Sun's father was also a soldier and died in a beast tide.

Since he couldn't get into a military academy himself, he dedicated himself to researching weapon cardss. He hoped his son could go into the army or research weapon cardss with him.

His eldest son is a soldier and is now the captain of a small team, and his youngest son initially also researched weapons with him.

So he often came to our army with Teacher Sun. He really likes children and often comes to play with them. My son really likes him."

"And then? What made him change his mind?"

"The reason, if you want to talk about the reason.

Perhaps it was always being under his father's shadow, everyone called him 'Teacher Sun's son' instead of his own name; or perhaps he truly found something he wanted to do.

Anyway, I only know that the father and son had a big argument, and then he left the research institute. I heard he went to do material research."

Xu Bai pondered for a while, materials.

In fact, material research is very important.

In his previous life, material research played a core role in modern scientific and technological and industrial development.

If new materials are researched, many things can adopt this material.

"Material research is also very good. Think about it, if he researched a new material suitable for weapons, a large number of weapons might be updated accordingly."

"I hope so. Seeing these children playing carefree, I feel that what we are doing is very meaningful."

The two looked at the playing children together.

Both smiled.
