Jiang Chengzhou's mouth dropped open. "Then I'm their uncle!"

He most wants to be an uncle!

Lin Zhilan: ...So this is how I became a grandmother?

Grandma with a bunch of tadpoles?

However, apart from her, the brother and sister were both very happy.

Linlin became her favorite mother.

Jiang Chengzhou became his most admired uncle.

Everyone has a bright future.

"My darlings," Lin Zhilan had to shatter their illusions, "what if their mother can't find them?"

"What should we do?" Linlin looked to her brother for help.

Jiang Chengzhou thought for a moment, "It's okay, I'll bring their parents back tomorrow too."

"Brother is awesome!" Linlin gave a thumbs up, making Jiang Chengzhou unable to suppress his smile.

Lin Zhilan thought to herself: Her children are all so "kind".

However, she didn't interfere much; once the tadpoles turned into frogs, they would naturally jump away.

But she didn't expect there would be more to this story.

The next day, Jiang Chengzhou brought back two frogs.

But Linlin insisted that her brother had grabbed the wrong person.

The tadpole's mother is a large tadpole, not a frog.

Jiang Chengzhou didn't know how to explain it for a while, until Lin Zhilan came home, he quickly handed this problem over to his aunt.

Lin Zhilan spent the whole night explaining to the children what abnormal development is, until both children were sleepy from talking.

Regardless of whether they understood or not, Lin Zhilan simply told the children to go back to their rooms to sleep.

As the weather gets warmer, you only need a light blanket at night.

In the quiet room, Lin Zhilan gently patted her daughter's back and hummed a lullaby to lull her to sleep.

"Mommy." Linlin suddenly snuggled into her arms.

"What's wrong, baby?" Lin Zhilan asked softly.

Linlin pouted, her voice trembling with tears, "Daddy's not coming back..."

Lin Zhilan's nose tingled with emotion. "Missing Dad?"

"Um."

Linlin had already experienced separation anxiety once before Su Lang left.

It's probably because we were talking about frogs and tadpoles today that the little girl remembered it again.

"Dad is on a mission. Before, some bad guys flew their planes over, but that's rare now, right? It was Dad and the other uncles who drove them away."

Currently, our country's navy and air force are far behind the world's leading powers, and we are frequently subjected to provocations by aircraft and ships.

Every time a plane came by, the troops would have to adjust to combat readiness, and the atmosphere in the family compound would become solemn. Even three- or four-year-old children knew that this was a bad thing.

Linlin wiped her tears on her mother's collar and whispered, "My dad also wastes a lot of money. I'll make some for him."

"Are you going to make an airplane to give to your dad?"

"Hmm," Linlin opened her arms, "a super big airplane."

Lin Zhilan was amused by her daughter and kissed her on the cheek. "Okay, when you grow up, you'll make an airplane for Daddy."

After coaxing her daughter to sleep, Lin Zhilan sighed.

She also missed Su Lang a little.

……

The deck was dark when Su Lang emerged from the cabin.

The sea stretched out to the horizon, merging with the darkness, with only the distant, twinkling lighthouses indicating the way.

Bai Yang lived next door to Su Lang. Hearing the commotion, he yawned and followed them out.

"Commander, is something wrong?"

"no."

"Oh." Bai Yang yawned again, took out a cigarette from his pocket and offered it to him, "Want one?"

Su Lang frowned slightly and brushed the hand away. "I've quit. My doctor, Dr. Lin, said smoking is harmful to health."

Bai Yang pursed his lips under the cover of night.

He was used to it; in private, their regimental commander would always mention his family's doctor, Dr. Lin.

A cool sea breeze blew, and Su Lang sneezed.

"Tsk," he chuckled, "It must be that Dr. Lin from our family misses me again."

Before he could finish speaking, Bai Yang sneezed.

Su Lang gave him a disdainful look, "If you're afraid of the cold, wear more clothes."

He shook his hand and went into the cabin.

Bai Yang: My fist has hardened.

……

After several days of acupuncture and medication, Yin Xiuxiu was pleasantly surprised to find that Nannan was able to control her urination.

It's not complete control, but rather that the little girl can sense when she needs to urinate.

If she just tells me and they take off her pants in time, she won't wet herself.

After discovering this change, Yin Xiuxiu hugged her daughter and cried bitterly.

The little girl is almost six years old, old enough to understand things, and she silently shed tears along with her mother.

That afternoon, when Lin Zhilan saw the mother and daughter, both of their eyes were swollen from crying.

"Dr. Lin, Nannan can feel it when she needs to pee!"

"Really?" Lin Zhilan smiled and reached out to the little girl, "Can Auntie give you a hug?"

After a few days, Nannan had become more familiar with Lin Zhilan and probably knew that it was this aunt in front of her who had helped her. This time, she was no longer shy and reached out her hand to Lin Zhilan.

Lin Zhilan smiled and accepted it.

She is five and a half years old, but her weight is only slightly heavier than Linlin's.

Lin Zhilan asked Yin Xiuxiu, "Has the child's appetite improved recently?"

"Yes! It's a little better!" Yin Xiuxiu quickly said, "She used to only eat a few bites at a meal and then refuse to eat anymore, but now she can eat half a bowl of rice at every meal."

"So well-behaved?" Lin Zhilan praised, then added, "Make sure the meals at home are better, eat more meat, eggs, and fish. The child needs nutrition to grow, and you should eat more too."

The child is very thin, and Yan Xiuxiu is also very thin.

It's already the beginning of summer, and most people on the island have switched to short sleeves, but Yan Xiuxiu is still wearing a yellowish long-sleeved shirt.

The most popular fabric nowadays is Dacron, and white cotton is even more common, but Yan Xiuxiu's clothes are made of regenerated cloth.

This is the cheapest fabric, and it doesn't require ration coupons, but the quality is a bit poor.

Lin Zhilan keenly noticed that the part of her wrist that had been exposed when she handed the child over was so thin it looked like skin and bones.

Fearing she wouldn't take it seriously, Lin Zhilan added, "Eating well is good for your health. It's better to spend the money on food than on medicine."

Yin Xiuxiu took these words to heart and nodded quickly, "I understand, Dr. Lin."

After taking Nannan's pulse, Lin Zhilan went to the ward to give her acupuncture.

After the treatment, Yin Xiuxiu hesitated before asking, "Dr. Lin, now that Nannan is getting better, does that mean the acupuncture and medication are effective and we don't need surgery?"

The cost of the surgery is one aspect, but more importantly, the surgery carries life-threatening risks.

Yin Xiuxiu and her husband both came from the village, where some people had never been to a hospital in their entire lives, or even heard the word "surgery".

Because they are unfamiliar with and don't understand each other, it seems even more frightening to them.

Their most direct thought is to avoid surgery if possible.

Lin Zhilan shook her head slightly, plucked a strand of hair, and said gently, "Look at this strand of hair, it's like a nerve in the child's spinal cord, connecting her spine all the way to her brain, and then the brain controls the sensation of urination. There's a channel for it."

The child's spine is now compressing and pulling on this nerve, or the nerve terminal is thickening, causing an abnormal passage, and she cannot control urination normally.

She's still young, so I can help loosen the muscles a little with acupuncture. But children grow up, their bones grow, and eventually even a strand of hair might not be able to pass through.

"Is it useless to keep doing acupuncture?" Yin Xiuxiu's eyes reddened.
