Chapter 3371 Everyone's Here

The news spread quickly, and everyone was thrilled when they learned that the team-building event would be held at the Warship Park and that Xiao Zheng would also be there.

Most of the children at Little Red Horse Academy no longer recognize Zheng Zheng.

Xiao Bai agreed to invite Xiao Zhengzheng and got inspired. She called Liu Changjiang to ask if they had time to come along.

Liu Changjiang immediately agreed, saying he had plenty of time.

"Why don't you go ask Commander Jiao and the others?" Xiao Bai asked.

Liu Changjiang said, "No need to ask, they all have time. We had planned to go cycling along the river this weekend, and they were all willing to go."

At the same time, Xiaobai extended an invitation to all the children in the kindergarten.

Saturday was a clear and sunny day.

Before nine o'clock in the morning, the entrance to Little Red Horse Academy was already as lively as a market.

The entire Xiaobai team: Xiaobai, Liuliu, Xiaomi, Xier, Dudu, Chengcheng, Shibaobao, and Xiaonian are all present.

In addition, Xiao Weiwei, Xiao Wang, Xiao Zhou, Xiao Songqin, Xiao Meng and others also came, making a total of more than twenty children.

Xiao Hongma Company sent a school bus, and Zhang Tan also arranged for the company's commercial vehicle to pick people up from the municipal party committee compound.

Wang Xiaoyu is here too. If we only invite the chuunibyou (delusional) youth group and not Wang Xiaoyu, he will definitely be very sad when he finds out in the future.

Wang Xiaoyu was driven to Xiaohongma by his mother, and they traveled together by car.

The school bus was scheduled to depart at nine o'clock. Xiaobai, Xiaomi, and others were busy taking attendance, ticking off those who arrived on the list. With ten minutes left until nine o'clock, everyone gathered together to check the attendance.

“There are three children who haven’t come yet: Zhou Zizi, Xiao Zhengzheng, and Tian Xiaoya,” Xiaomi said.

"Let's call and ask what's going on," Xiaobai said. She and Dudu would each be responsible for one.

Finally, Zhou Zizi and Tian Xiaoya arrived one after another. Just as Shi Baobao was pacing anxiously, a taxi stopped at the school gate, and a familiar figure emerged from the car.

"Little Zheng Zheng—!!! Hiahia~~"

Xi'er, who was in charge of greeting everyone today, was the first to rush over with a smile.

It really is little Zheng Zheng!

She was wearing a beautiful pink princess dress, her hair was tied in a bun, revealing her long, fair neck, looking like a little princess, with a familiar, somewhat shy but incredibly happy smile on her face.

Although she had been away for a while, she looked to be in good health and seemed to have grown a little taller.

Liu Liu looked at Xiao Zheng Zheng's princess dress with envy, twirling around and praising it with admiration.

Xiao Bai also looked on with envy. They all longed to wear princess dresses, but none of them could achieve the same effect as Xiao Zhengzheng.

Xiao Zheng was once recognized as the most beautiful girl in Little Red Horse, and she still is.

"Xi'er! Xiaobai! Liuliu! Dudu! Chengcheng! Xiaomi! Baobao!..."

Xiao Zheng called out everyone's names one by one, her voice trembling with excitement.

"Little Zheng Zheng, we missed you so much!"

Liu Liu hugged her exaggeratedly, her hands groping all over the other woman's skirt with envy.

Xiao Zheng blushed and said, "I miss you all too."

Suddenly, a sweet, childlike voice rang out: "I miss you too, little Zheng Zheng."

Xiao Zheng looked down and saw a little radish head. Liu Liu introduced her as Robin, Xiao Bai's niece.

Little Zheng greeted the little girl with a smile. Robin, like a little puppy, followed her around, his eyes glued to her princess dress, sparkling with excitement.

"Is everyone here?"

Xiao Bai held her little notebook and pretended to take attendance, making a special checkmark next to Xiao Zhengzheng's name, feeling warm inside.

"Cheers!"

This time, even Liuliu wasn't in a hurry to urge them; the joy of the reunion overshadowed their eagerness for the big meal.

"Let's set sail! Let's conquer the sea...and the big ship on the shore!"

The drive takes about forty minutes. As the vehicle enters the park area, a massive, gray-white vessel can be seen moored on the wide expanse of the Huangpu River. Its streamlined hull, towering bridge, and neatly arranged antennas and weapon platforms gleam with a cold, metallic sheen in the sunlight.

"Wow--!!!"

All the children pressed their faces against the car windows and let out a unified gasp of amazement.

"Wow, it's huge!!"

"It's even bigger than it looks on TV!"

"So handsome!!"

As soon as the car came to a stop, a minivan arrived. Liu Changjiang and the others stood by the vehicle and rushed forward to greet them as they got out.

"Xi'er!!"

Commander Jiao found Xi'er immediately.

"Hiahia, it's Commander Jiao!"

Xi'er's smile pleased Commander Jiao, and he handed her a sun hat he had brought, saying it was to shield her from the sun.

Xi'er blinked: "This isn't right, I can't accept gifts."

Liu Liu deliberately walked past and interjected, "If Commander Jiao gives it to you, just take it and give it back to him later."

Finally, he said to Commander Jiao, "Commander Jiao, I'm also afraid of the sun. Do you have a sun hat?"

Jiao Dashuai gave her a big handful of beef cubes, which was much more useful than any sun hat. Liuliu gave him a string of 666s.

The naval park had been notified in advance and a retired naval veteran was specially assigned as a guide.

"Hello, children!"

The retired veteran's voice was loud and clear, carrying the distinctive strength of a soldier.

"Welcome to the 'Pujiang' destroyer! I'm your guide for today, veteran Zhao Jianguo!"

Hello, Uncle Zhao!

Everyone greeted each other in unison, but their eyes had already drifted to the massive steel ship that was so close at hand.

"Before boarding the ship, let me give a brief introduction."

Zhao Jianguo pointed to the destroyer.

"The 'Pujiang' was my country's first domestically designed and built guided-missile destroyer, launched in 1971 and honorably decommissioned in 2010. It was 132 meters long, 12.8 meters wide, and had a full-load displacement of 3650 tons. During its 39-year service life, it successfully completed dozens of major combat readiness patrols, exercises, and overseas visits, making it a meritorious ship in defending the motherland's maritime borders!"

Everyone listened with awe, gazing up at this silent steel giant, as if they could hear its past roaring whistles and see its majestic figure cutting through the waves.

"Now, please follow me and board the ship in an orderly manner! Be careful, do not run, and do not touch the equipment and switches marked with red!"

The moment I stepped onto the gangway and onto the deck, an unprecedented sense of awe washed over me.

The wide flight deck, the towering bridge, the robust gun barrels, the dense array of antennas... everything was larger and more complex than imagined.

"This is the foredeck."

Zhao Jianguo pointed to the twin-mounted 130mm main gun.

"This is the largest caliber gun on the ship, with a long range and great power, capable of striking targets at sea and on the shore."

The boys immediately surrounded him, exclaiming "Wow!" and "Oh!"

Mei Fangfang, the bravest of them all, carefully touched the cold cannon barrel, her hands trembling with excitement: "How exciting it would be to fire a shot like this!"

Xiao Wang looked up at the towering turret: "Standing here and firing the cannon would definitely be incredibly impressive!"

Liu Changjiang then began to gesture: "If the enemy comes, I'll do it like this—Aim! Fire!"

Commander Jiao was relatively calm and asked Zhao Jianguo, "Has this cannon really been used in battle?"

Zhao Jianguo said, "During the service of the 'Pujiang', our sea area was generally peaceful, but this cannon roared in countless live-fire exercises. Like all the officers and soldiers on board, it was always ready! Its very existence is a guarantee of peace!"

Everyone nodded thoughtfully.

Dudu exclaimed, "This giant ship is our country's superhero!"

Everyone nodded in agreement.

At this moment, Robin said with a serious expression, "I also want to grow up quickly and protect the seas of my motherland!"

At this moment, Liu Liu stood in front of the turret, her movements exaggerated as she spread her arms wide and shouted, "For victory!! Fire at me!!"

Xiaobai said irritably, "Liuliu, stop fooling around and be serious!"

Liu Liu didn't reply, but continued, "At this moment, I think of our war hero, martyr Wang Cheng, who sacrificed his life on the Korean battlefield!..."

She rattled off a whole bunch of things, as if she had done her homework before coming.

Zhao Jianguo couldn't help but applaud her. He didn't know Liuliu's character and was moved by her deep affection.
