After transmigrating into the body of the female supporting character's biological mother, she

The bright red chili oil and brownish-red meat sauce are mixed together, and the aroma of the sauce is immediately enhanced by a hint of the spicy fragrance of the chili oil.

Lin Zhilan scooped up a little with a spoon and let Wang Rou taste it. "Try it and see how it tastes. Eat a little, it'll be a bit salty on its own."

Wang Rou pursed her lips and gently tasted a little of the meat sauce.

It wasn't as salty as I had imagined.

The first taste you experience on your tongue is freshness, followed by a rich, savory sauce flavor.

The spices didn't stand out too much; instead, they made the sauce flavor more lingering and rich, with a hint of spiciness.

Wang Rou isn't really good at handling spicy food, but this spicy flavor is quite mild, blending perfectly with the soy sauce flavor, and even leaving a slightly sweet aftertaste.

"It's delicious." Wang Rou's eyes lit up.

Just then, Li Jiang brought over the cooked noodles and rice.

Once the crabs were almost all peeled, everyone decided to stop and eat first.

Before Su Lang and Ma Daniu could even smell the aroma, they had already started tasting it.

Really delicious!

The diced cured pork and luncheon meat are finely chopped, with both lean and fatty meat, offering the firm and chewy texture of lean meat and the rich and tender aroma of fatty meat.

It's an absolutely perfect match when mixed with hot rice and noodles.

Because Lin Zhilan was busy making crab roe sauce, Wang Rou was afraid the noodles would get cold, so she shyly went to feed them to her.

Chen Hehua's eyes hurt from looking at it, and she choked a little.

Liu Chunhua: "Aunt Hehua, if you don't like it spicy, then give it to me."

Anyway, she hadn't had enough to eat and didn't want Ma Daniu to take it away.

Chen Hehua rolled her eyes at her and lowered her head to eat.

After dinner, the crab roe sauce was ready.

Crab roe sauce is all about freshness, and its aroma is richer and more complex compared to minced meat sauce.

Although everyone had already finished eating, Lin Zhilan still let them all have a taste.

The bright yellow, glistening crab roe sauce, once tasted, instantly fills the entire mouth with its rich crab flavor.

The crab is plump and fragrant, soft and silky, yet with some firm yellow roe. The more you taste it, the more fragrant it becomes, making it almost too good to swallow.

Lin Zhilan scooped the sauce into a large bowl to cool, and when she looked up, everyone immediately looked away.

"..."

Lin Zhilan: "How about I save some to make noodles tomorrow morning?"

"Yes!" everyone said in unison.

Chen Hehua said, "My family will provide the noodles for tomorrow."

No one else objected.

……

It was late at night when Su Lang returned home.

All was quiet; the only sounds were footsteps and the sea breeze.

After a quick wash, he first went to check on Linlin and Jiang Chengzhou.

I tucked them in before quietly going upstairs.

Just as he lay down, Lin Zhilan, who had been facing the wall, suddenly turned around and hugged him.

Su Lang paused for a moment, then pulled her into his arms.

"sorry."

Lin Zhilan shook her head. "I'm not sorry. You're a soldier, this is your duty. I'm just... a little reluctant to leave."

Su Lang felt a tightness in his chest, opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything for a moment.

This was actually the first time his wife had expressed her feelings for him so directly.

Lin Zhilan poked his waist, "There's a small cloth bag in the drawer, go get it."

Su Lang got up and got out of bed; the cloth bag was in the drawer.

Lin Zhilan sat up, took the cloth bag, and opened it to show him.

Inside were two pills, each about the size of a date pit.

"You must keep these two pills close to your body; they could save your life in an emergency. Su Lang, you promised me you would only live to die of old age!"

"Okay," Su Lang said with a wry smile.

"Alright, go to sleep." Lin Zhilan seemed to have accomplished a great task. She rewrapped the pills, stuffed them into Su Lang's hand, and lay down again.

Su Lang put the pills back and leaned in to kiss her.

Lin Zhilan blocked him with her hand, "Aren't you tired after a whole day of meetings?"

"Touch it and see..."

"Su Lang...you bastard."

Su Lang proved with his actions that he was truly not tired.

I only regret that the beautiful night was too short...

--

When Su Lang went on a mission, Lin Zhilan and Jiang Chengzhou quickly adjusted and found their rhythm in life.

But Linlin was too young; she didn't understand what responsibility or task meant. All she knew was that her father, who used to take her for walks every night, was gone.

She didn't cry or make a fuss, but every afternoon she would sit by the door without fail, and run out to see what was happening whenever she heard footsteps.

Once she realizes it's not Su Lang, she'll sigh like a little adult and sit back down in her chair.

Lin Zhilan told her that her father would not be back for a long time.

"Tomorrow?" Linlin asked.

"Many tomorrows."

Linlin has no concept of dates; she used to call them yesterday and will call them tomorrow in the future.

"Dad's at work?"

"Yes," Lin Zhilan pointed to her height, "when you grow this tall, Dad will come back."

Linlin's eyes widened, she stood on tiptoe, and declared boldly, "I'll eat two bowls today, and I'll grow taller all at once!"

Lin Zhilan suppressed a laugh and gave her a thumbs-up.

With Su Lang gone, Jiang Chengzhou seemed to have grown up a lot all of a sudden, and the teacher never called his parents again.

He still went for his run as usual, but now his aunt and sister were by his side.

Jiang Chengzhou ate well and was very active, so he gradually grew taller.

His features, which originally resembled Su Lang's, gradually became apparent, and he and Yan Yuan became the tallest children in the class.

Of course, the children didn't want to fall behind others. Li Xuan, who was a little shorter, was anxious and took the initiative to tell his parents that he wanted to run with Jiang Chengzhou.

Following suit, more and more children started running on the playground, making it a trend in the residential compound.

The leaders were naturally pleased and even set aside a special area for the children to exercise.

Lin Zhilan genuinely felt that her two children were too well-behaved.

It just so happens that it's Jiang Chengzhou's birthday, and Lin Zhilan keeps her promise and decides to take the children to Guangzhou.

As for attending classes, of course I would ask for leave first.

The teacher was extremely surprised to hear that Lin Zhilan had asked Jiang Chengzhou for a week's leave simply to go to Guangzhou for a trip.

"Dr. Lin, would you like to take the child out for fun?"

"Yes," Lin Zhilan said, "Don't worry, I won't let him fall behind in his studies."

She patted Jiang Chengzhou's head. "You promised me, didn't you?"

Jiang Chengzhou nodded emphatically, "Teacher, I promise!"

The teacher said tactfully, "Dr. Lin, I just feel that taking a week off to take the child on a trip is too long. We could wait until summer vacation to go."

Lin Zhilan had originally considered going out for fun over the weekend.

But two days was far too short; it felt like we were just there for the boat ride.

and……

"Teacher, I understand what you mean. I promised my child I would take him out for his birthday, and I don't want to disappoint him."

Next time, I will definitely schedule it during my child's winter or summer vacation, so as not to interfere with his studies.

Teacher: There's always a next time...

Lin Zhilan is also learning how to be a parent.

She doesn't know what a good parent should be like, but she knows what kind of parent she wished she had when she was a child.
