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

Lin Zhilan finished wrapping the dumplings and asked Jiang Chengzhou to call Wang Rou over.

Just as the dumplings were almost ready, Wang Rou came over with her child and a watermelon.

"Sis, this watermelon Li Jiang brought back is for you."

Seeing that her cheeks were flushed and her eyes were misty, Lin Zhilan was worried that she had caught a cold from being wet. Just as she was about to go closer and touch her forehead, Wang Rou subconsciously took a step back.

"Sister... I'm fine." Wang Rou bit her lip.

Lin Zhilan then noticed that Wang Rou's lips seemed redder than usual, and seeing that the watermelon, which was supposedly brought back by Li Jiang, had been chewed by a dog, she realized what was going on.

Seeing that Wang Rou was so embarrassed she was practically steaming, Lin Zhilan quickly changed the subject, "It's alright, you take the children to wash their hands, I'll go get the dumplings."

"it is good."

Everyone was eating dumplings, but Jiang Chengzhou was munching on a sweet potato.

Linlin noticed that there were no dumplings in her brother's bowl. She glanced at her mother's expression and secretly pinched one to feed her brother.

Jiang Chengzhou, quick-witted and nimble-tongued, swallowed the food and then made eye contact with Yan Yuan across from him.

"..."

Jiang Chengzhou felt a little guilty, but luckily Linlin was sitting in her mother's lap. She put her finger to her lips and shushed Yan Yuan.

Yan Yuan silently looked away.

Linlin continued her clandestine scheme.

The brother and sister fed each other, thinking they had hidden it perfectly, but the adults had already discovered it, they just didn't expose them.

However, there's also Li Xuan, that straight-laced guy, who completely ignores whether you shush or not, and directly exposes you: "Aunt Lin, Jiang Chengzhou is eating dumplings."

"Hmph," Linlin pouted, arms crossed, "Brother Xiaoxuan told on me, so I'm not playing with you anymore."

Lin Zhilan laughed and said, "You and your brother are being naughty, but you won't let Xiao Xuan tell the truth? Apologize to Xiao Xuan."

"Okay," Linlin said, flipping her fingers together. "Brother Xiaoxuan, I'm sorry."

Li Xuan didn't mean to complain; he was just a bit stubborn and believed that what was said should be said.

In response to Linlin's apology, he simply gave a soft "hmm".

"Jiang Chengzhou".

"Huh? What's wrong, Auntie?" Jiang Chengzhou pretended to be clueless.

Lin Zhilan glanced at him indifferently, "You didn't pick shepherd's purse with everyone, so you'll be washing the dishes for everyone later."

"No problem." Jiang Chengzhou often helped his aunt wash dishes, so it was no big deal for him.

Moreover, this time he can eat dumplings openly!

Lin Zhilan was worried that her daughter would catch a cold after playing in the water today, so she gave her a hot bath. However, her daughter still developed a fever in the evening.

Lin Zhilan didn't understand why there was a saying, "When a child is hit, the mother feels the pain." But after Linlin got sick, she finally understood the feelings of parents who love their children.

I wish I could take her illness instead.

Linlin is too young to say anything when she's uncomfortable; she just whimpers in her arms.

Lin Zhilan kissed her forehead and massaged her acupoints.

I stayed up until midnight before I could finally get her to sleep.

The fever subsided the next day, but the person was still listless and not as lively as usual.

Lin Zhilan used the medicinal herbs from her space to brew her a bowl of herbal soup that was appropriate for her symptoms.

Good medicine tastes bitter, so it's useless to use it to persuade children.

Linlin took a sniff and then cried and refused to drink it.

"Baby," Lin Zhilan suppressed her anxiety and coaxed gently, "After you finish your medicine, Mommy will give you candy."

"No, no!"

The little girl felt unwell all over, but refused to open her mouth, which made her break out in a cold sweat.

"No, you have to take your medicine!"

Lin Zhilan had never been so fierce to her daughter before, which immediately shocked Linlin.

"No, Mommy, no..." The little one started crying, tears streaming down his face, his hands tightly clutching her clothes.

"obedient."

Lin Zhilan held her in her arms, pressed her down with her hands, and scooped up a spoonful of water to put into her mouth.

Jiang Chengzhou was extremely anxious watching his younger sister struggle in his aunt's arms, and he held her hand and tried to comfort her.

After she finally finished her medicine, Lin Zhilan fed her a piece of candy and carried her around the room, gently coaxing her.

The little one frowned, and clung to his mother's neck, sobbing on the verge of tears.

Jiang Chengzhou followed behind his aunt and made funny faces at his younger sister, which finally made her smile a little.

"I want a brother~"

Lin Zhilan had no choice but to put her down and wipe her sweaty back with a hot towel.

"Should we go to the hospital with Mom today?"

Linlin quickly shook her head and tightly grasped Jiang Chengzhou's hand, "I want my brother."

Lin Zhilan glanced at her watch. "Then you two stay home and behave yourselves. Chengzhou, I'm going to work. If you're not back by noon, take your sister to the cafeteria for lunch."

"it is good."

"Also," Lin Zhilan said, "there's a bowl of medicine on the stove. Remember to make her drink it after the meal."

After thinking for a moment, she said, "Never mind, I'll talk about it when I get back."

Jiang Chengzhou: "Auntie, I can feed my sister, so don't worry."

Linlin grabbed his hand and said in a muffled voice, "I want my brother to feed me."

"real?"

"Yes," Linlin promised, her eyes red.

"Okay," Lin Zhilan squatted down, still feeling sorry for her daughter, "Come here and give Mommy a kiss, then Mommy will go to work."

Linlin obediently kissed her on the cheek.

Lin Zhilan had just left when Yan Yuan arrived.

The little girl was in low spirits, yet she kept chattering and complaining to him about how bitter the medicine was.

Yan Yuan frowned and touched her face. "You need to take your medicine obediently so you can get better."

Linlin outwardly agreed, but after lunch, when she saw Jiang Chengzhou bring out the medicine, her eyes reddened again.

This really broke the hearts of the two older brothers.

Jiang Chengzhou said urgently, "Why don't I drink it for you?"

"No," Yan Yuan squatted down in front of Linlin and coaxed, "You'll get better after you take your medicine. How about I buy you candy?"

"Waaah... Brother Yan, drink this, I'll give you candy." Linlin rubbed her eyes and cried softly.

Yan Yuan: "..."

The little girl is quite logical.

In the end, Yan Yuan came up with a compromise: one person pinched Linlin's nose while the other force-fed her the medicine.

With her mother not around, Linlin wasn't as spoiled and finished her medicine in one go.

Yan Yuan quickly peeled a piece of candy and put it in her mouth. The little girl hummed for a while and then stopped.

Lin Zhilan praised her daughter highly after learning about her performance.

That evening, Yan Yuan somehow obtained a basket of wild loquats.

"Aunt Lin, Linlin has a bit of a cough. Could you make her some loquat syrup?"

Yan Yuan occasionally helped out at the Traditional Chinese Medicine department, and through this exposure, he also learned some knowledge of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Loquats are good for moisturizing dry lungs, and when cooked with sugar, they taste sweet, which Linlin will definitely love.

Lin Zhilan's heart softened at the child's gesture, and she took the basket from him. "Thank you, Yan Yuan."

"You're welcome," Yan Yuan said shyly, shaking his head. "These wild loquats are everywhere on the mountain; they're worthless."

Lin Zhilan used the loquats he sent, along with fritillaria powder, lemon juice, and rock sugar, to make a jar of fritillaria and loquat syrup, which Linlin indeed liked very much.

Lin Zhilan: "These loquats were picked for you by Brother Yan. Remember to thank him later, okay?"

"Mmm." She answered quickly, but her eyes were fixed on the spoon, and it was hard to tell whether she remembered it or not.

Linlin recovered from her illness very quickly.

As the weather gets hotter, final exams are approaching.
