The beach is now very clean, with no plastic or glass.

Plastic bags are still a rare sight.

Glass bottles can be recycled.

People can walk on the beach with peace of mind, as long as they are careful not to get scratched by seashells.

Lin Zhilan took off her daughter's boots, wanting her to experience what it felt like to walk on the beach.

As a result, Xiaolinlin didn't dare to do it at all.

As soon as I put her down, she immediately pulled her legs up.

"Just step on it, it's okay."

"No, no!"

Su Lang picked her up with one arm. "It's okay if she's scared."

Lin Zhilan looked at him speechlessly; his double standards were just too extreme.

"Then hold your daughter tight, give me the rope, and Chengzhou and I will go play together."

Before Su Lang could speak, Lin Zhilan took the rope from him.

"That's great!" Jiang Chengzhou was the happiest.

Watching his wife and eldest nephew run far away, Su Lang and his daughter looked at each other in bewilderment.

"It's okay, Mom will be back soon."

Little Linlin skillfully used her mother's persuasive techniques to convince her father.

Helpless, Su Lang carried her slowly toward his wife.

"Auntie, there are crabs here!"

Jiang Chengzhou and Yan Yuan had been to the sea once and knew that crabs liked to hide under rocks.

Lin Zhilan went over and saw that it was an orchid crab, about the size of a man's palm, shrinking its body and trying to squeeze into the crack in the rock.

Lin Zhilan handed the pliers to Jiang Chengzhou, "Try it and see if you can get it out."

Jiang Chengzhou's eyes lit up as he took the pliers, but the crab was hiding too deep, and the pliers were too short to reach it.

Jiang Chengzhou was somewhat disappointed.

Lin Zhilan asked, "Do you want to try again, or go find some other crabs?"

Jiang Chengzhou thought for a moment, "Let's go find other crabs first, and come back to check later."

Lin Zhilan: "Okay."

"Auntie," Jiang Chengzhou asked curiously, "Aren't you going to scold me?"

"What did I say to you?"

Jiang Chengzhou scratched his head. "Our teacher told us not to give up easily."

Lin Zhilan smiled gently, "The teacher is right, but you've already tried your best. If it still doesn't work, it's okay to give up."

There are so many things to try in this world.

Persistence is certainly a good habit, but giving up also requires courage.

Lin Zhilan hopes that her children will have the drive to move forward without hesitation, but will never be afraid of having no way back.

Jiang Chengzhou nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.

"If you don't understand, just remember it for now."

Jiang Chengzhou agreed.

The two of them searched together and actually caught several large crabs.

Su Lang followed behind, carrying the bucket.

Little Linlin clung to her father's arm. The crabs crawled around in the bucket, and her eyes followed them, as she muttered, "Crabs, crabs..."

Su Lang was pleased.

He is a polite and well-mannered child.

"Uncle!" Jiang Chengzhou shouted from the other end, "Come quick, Aunt and I have found the clam nest!"

Su Lang carried her daughter and walked quickly over.

The beach is covered with countless small holes.

Lin Zhilan turned around. "Commander Su, is this Clam Cave?"

Su Lang spent the longest time on the island, where he had never eaten pork but had at least seen pigs run.

"It should be like this: you should shovel away the top layer of sand and pour some salt in."

Lin Zhilan and Jiang Chengzhou worked together, one shoveling sand and the other filling salt containers.

Within seconds, a small stream of water emerged from the hole, and then a slender razor clam slowly poked its head out of the sand.

Lin Zhilan said, "Chengzhou, pull it out."

Jiang Chengzhou withdrew his hand, "I'm afraid it will run back inside."

Su Lang bent down and lowered her daughter's body. "Baby, you pull it out."

Linlin reacted quickly, pinching the shell of the razor clam and pulling hard, pulling the whole clam out.

"Mommy!" Linlin exclaimed, "I'm so great!"

Lin Zhilan couldn't help but laugh.

They found another clam hole. "Now, brother, let's pull them out."

Jiang Chengzhou felt a little embarrassed by being outdone by his younger sister, so without saying a word, he pulled out the razor clams.

Linlin just kept clapping and cheering, "Brother is so awesome!"

The beach became the playground for the two children. Linlin was used to the sand, and when Su Lang helped her put on her boots, she was willing to get down and walk around on her own.

As dawn broke, the sea to the east was tinged with orange-red.

The beach gradually became more crowded, with people coming to enjoy the receding tide.

Someone greeted Lin Zhilan, "Dr. Lin, you seem to have some free time today?"

Lin Zhilan smiled and said, "I'll let the kids play for a while. Please keep an eye on them for me and make sure they don't come to the beach to play."

"Don't worry," the man said, glancing at Su Lang. "This must be your wife, right?"

Su Lang felt a bit curious.

All his titles disappeared, leaving only the title of "the one in the family" for Dr. Lin.

"This is my lover, Su Lang."

"A perfect match," he said, but then changed his mind and laughed, "No, that's not quite right. Dr. Lin is both talented and handsome, your wife is good-looking, and your two children are good-looking too. You two are truly a perfect family."

Lin Zhilan smiled.

By the time the sun had fully risen, the two small buckets were already half full.

Crabs, clams, razor clams, and a few small fish trapped in shallow puddles.

The small fish were too small to make a mixed fish soup, so Lin Zhilan told the two children to put them back into the sea.

Su Lang carried the small bucket and looked at the mother and daughter.

The sunlight shone on them, giving them a soft golden hue.

At this moment, Su Lang felt that the slower time passed, the better.

On the way back, Linlin fell asleep on her father's shoulder.

Lin Zhilan said with a smile, "Luckily you were here, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to keep an eye on the two children."

"I'm sorry," Su Lang suddenly said.

Lin Zhilan asked in confusion, "Why are you suddenly apologizing to me?"

With the child in one arm and a small bucket in the other, Su Lang couldn't even reach out to hold his wife's hand.

"It's too hard for you to take care of the child all by yourself."

Lin Zhilan turned her head to look at him, "The happiness I have gained is far greater than what I have given."

Su Lang, I have absolutely no regrets about marrying you.

That year, she lived life to the fullest.

The inherent courage and pride hidden deep within him did not need to be deliberately concealed; on the contrary, with the indulgence of the army and Su Lang, they gradually began to emerge.

If she hadn't chosen to marry Su Lang back then, she wouldn't have had so many opportunities.

She has a job, family, and a lover; she has even obtained things she longed for in her past life but never received.

Hearing his wife say that, Su Lang let out a pleasant laugh. "Thank you for thinking that way."

"You are Su Lang." Lin Zhilan looked at her lover's resolute eyes and sighed softly.

Su Lang was taken aback, then slowly smiled.

Lin Zhilan prepared a sumptuous seafood feast with today's catch.

After working half a day in the Traditional Chinese Medicine department, when Lin Zhilan returned home, Su Lang had already prepared all the dishes and the rice was cooked.

Lin Zhilan looked around the house and asked curiously, "Chengzhou, where did Uncle go?"
