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

Pushing Su Lang aside, Lin Zhilan glanced at Deng Jing and Su Jue, and quickly made arrangements.

"Second brother and sister-in-law, please help me pick these vegetables. Su Lang, please help me chop the scallions, ginger, and garlic. I'll take out the dried abalone and scallops and soak them."

Su Jue seemed relieved and quickly took the vegetables from him.

Aunt Yu stood aside, realizing that she couldn't get involved at all.

Lin Zhilan noticed this and quickly said, "Aunt Yu, there are too many people in the kitchen, you should go back and rest early."

Aunt Yu hesitated, "This..."

Xu Yueyun was outside comforting the child when she heard this and called out, "Xiaoyu, listen to Zhilan. It's almost the end of the year, you should take a couple of days off too."

Aunt Yu then agreed, took off her apron, and prepared to leave.

Lin Zhilan suddenly remembered something, quickly walked to the backyard, and returned a moment later carrying a bundle of green vegetables. "Aunt Yu, take this back with you."

"No need, no need, there are so many people in your family."

"Take it. When I had someone bring it back, I kept this one for you."

Looking at the green vegetables in her arms, Aunt Yu felt a warmth in her heart.

She was lucky; she had worked for the Xu family for so many years, and Comrade Xu treated her well. But every time Fan Biyun came over, she just came to eat and drink for free, and before leaving, she would take a bunch of things back with her.

Deng Jing has a rather cold personality and doesn't have much to say to Comrade Xu.

According to Sister-in-law Yu, Lin Zhilan's visit this time was probably the most satisfying New Year for Comrade Xu.

Although Aunt Yu was an outsider, judging from the way Comrade Xu's three daughters-in-law behaved, she had to admit that Lin Zhilan was the most generous and proper.

Unfortunately, this couple lives on the island year-round, which is too far from the capital, and they may not be able to come back even once a year.

"Thank you," Aunt Yu said with a smile, holding the vegetables.

My son also said he was tired of eating cabbage every day, and these green vegetables would be enough for him to change things up.

"You're welcome. Su Lang and I are away from home most of the year, so we'll have to trouble you to take good care of Mom and Dad."

"This is what I should do."

"..."

Lin Zhilan smiled and saw her to the door before turning back to the kitchen.

Su Lang had already started cutting the meat.

Seeing her come in, he nudged her with his hand, "Dr. Lin, you're doing well now, you even know how to be polite."

Lin Zhilan was quite "fierce" when she was on the island, and she wasn't very kind to disobedient patients.

She's a skilled doctor, her medicine is effective, and people think it's understandable that she has a bit of a temper.

This back-and-forth with Aunt Yu, filled with polite words, was completely unlike her usual style.

Lin Zhilan whispered, "Who told us to ask for their help? We live so far away, and when Mom and Dad have any problems, it's always Aunt Yu who has to take care of them."

Su Lang gave her a tender look, "My wife is so thoughtful."

"I'm not targeting you, I'm targeting your mother."

Lin Zhilan wasn't too worried about whether Xu Yueyun liked her or not, but she was worried that her in-laws would have prejudice and bias against their daughter.

But neither Xu Yueyun nor Su Bingcheng had it.

Lin Zhilan thanked them on behalf of her daughter.

They were whispering among themselves. Meanwhile, at a small table by the window, Deng Jing sat on a low stool, spreading out bunches of green vegetables and beginning to prepare them.

Su Jue moved a small stool and sat down opposite her.

"I'll help you choose."

Deng Jing paused in her movements, said nothing, and simply pushed a bunch of green vegetables in front of him.

The two sat facing each other, with a small pile of green vegetables between them.

One made their choice quickly, the other slowly.

One kept his head down and didn't say anything, while the other wanted to speak but didn't know what to say.

Su Jue was slow at picking vegetables; he wasn't very good at it and often picked off the edible parts, leaving the inedible ones.

Deng Jing glanced at it, reached out and took the vegetables from his hand, and picked them out again.

"I did something wrong, please teach me."

Deng Jing didn't even look up. "It's okay, you go sit outside for a while, I'll take care of it."

Su Jue choked up.

Of course, it wasn't like this when they first got married.

Su Jue was a bookworm back then, and all he did was bury himself in books all day.

It was Deng Jing who pursued him.

Back then, Deng Jing was very energetic and proactive, and she often came to ask him questions.

Su Jue was initially annoyed, finding the girl somewhat stupid.

Later, when Deng Jing was sick and Su Jue didn't see her, she felt inexplicably that something was missing.

After school, he changed his route for the first time.

I asked my classmates and found the alley where Deng Jing lived.

Later they got married and soon had Su Pei.

At that time, the couple had a good relationship. Although Su Jue was a bit dull, he was not frivolous. He gave all his salary to Deng Jing and never went out for social events. He would go home to see his daughter as soon as he got off work.

When Su Pei was one year old, he received orders from the organization to leave the capital.

He came back twice within ten years.

He wasn't even by Su Yao's side when she was born.

Su Jue had always arrogantly believed that his wife and daughter would always wait for him, and that once he completed his mission, they could return to the time when they were newlyweds.

He only now realized that he had waited so long that it seemed people had become strangers to each other.

His wife was estranged from him, and his two daughters found it difficult to be close to their father.

Su Jue wanted to get closer to them, but didn't know what to do.

And... so what if we get used to it?

He will have to leave after a while.

Thinking of this, Su Jue decided not to voice the words that were on her mind.

On the stove.

Lin Zhilan is processing sea cucumbers.

Sea cucumber is mild and nourishing, primarily replenishing vital energy and nourishing essence and blood.

The key is that it is mild in nature, neither hot nor cold, so even heart disease patients with weak constitutions like Xu Yueyun can eat it.

Lin Zhilan specifically asked the fishermen to buy it.

The dried sea cucumbers were still a bit damp at this point, so Lin Zhilan first used tongs to hold them and roasted them over a red-hot coal.

Once the outer layer of skin is charred black by the fire, scrape off the charred skin with a knife, soak and boil it in water three times, let it cool three times, and when you can pinch it with your hand and make an indentation, it is considered to be fully fermented.

Leave half of the sea cucumber in water to soak until tomorrow morning when you can cook it into millet porridge.

Lin Zhilan decided to use the rest to make a cold dish.

Heat oil in a wok, stir-fry finely chopped chili peppers, scallions, and minced garlic until fragrant, then add some soy sauce and balsamic vinegar, and mix with sesame oil to create a glossy brown sauce.

Pour the sauce over the sliced ​​sea cucumber, and the cold dish is ready.

It's hot inside, so we need a cold dish to whet our appetite.

The cold sea cucumber salad wasn't as fragrant as the dishes Lin Zhilan had made before, but Su Lang trusted his wife's skills.

Seeing Lin Zhilan pick up a piece of sea cucumber, Su Lang was about to open her mouth to take it, but then she turned around and fed it to Deng Jing, saying, "Second sister-in-law, can you taste it for me and see if it's good?"

Lin Zhilan was truly impressed by her second brother and sister-in-law; after she finished cooking a dish, the couple would barely exchange three sentences.

Deng Jing was stunned. She was so old, when had she ever been fed vegetables?

"Second sister-in-law?" Lin Zhilan urged her, "Give me your feedback. If it's delicious, I'll cook it again for New Year's Eve dinner."
