Linlin reluctantly agreed.

Lin Zhilan winked at Su Lang, "Take the baby downstairs first."

Su Lang picked up her daughter.

Linlin leaned over and kissed her mother on the cheek, saying, "I love you, Mom."

Su Lang also gently kissed Lin Zhilan on the other side of her cheek, "My beloved wife."

"Shy~" Linlin covered her eyes and laughed.

The couple never hesitated to show their affection in front of their two children.

Holding hands and kissing on the forehead are common actions that happen at home.

Gentle, stable, and intimate interactions between parents are more effective than any preaching in raising children who are grounded, confident, and emotionally stable.

It is also the source of a child's sense of security.

Lin Zhilan gave Su Lang a reproachful look and poked her daughter's forehead with her finger. "You little rascal, come downstairs and play with Daddy."

Su Lang nodded slightly to Lin Zhilan and carried his daughter downstairs.

Lin Zhilan then knocked on the door. "Chengzhou, may I come in and chat for a while?"

There was no sound inside.

Lin Zhilan waited for a while, then said, "If you want to be alone for a while, your aunt will go downstairs first."

The door clicked open as soon as he finished speaking.

"Auntie..."

Jiang Chengzhou stood behind the door, his expression gloomy.

Lin Zhilan climbed onto his shoulder and went inside, closing the door behind her.

"Aunt, I..."

Jiang Chengzhou wanted to say it was okay, he was just a little unhappy.

Lin Zhilan interrupted him with a smile, "Chengzhou, do you know what your grandfather's name is?"

"Um?"

Jiang Chengzhou's thoughts were interrupted, and his eyes were somewhat dazed.

Lin Zhilan whispered as if telling a secret, "Jiang Jinzhu, Jin in Jinzi, Zhu in Zhuzi."

Seeing that his aunt was interested, Jiang Chengzhou told her something else.

His son's name is Jiang Yinzhu.

Lin Zhilan: "..."

The uncle and nephew looked at each other for a few seconds, then burst out laughing.

Lin Zhilan patted his buzz cut. "Thank your mother, otherwise you would have to call yourself Tiezhu."

Jiang Chengzhou pouted, "My name isn't Tiezhu."

Jiang Chengzhou still remembers his grandfather.

When he was a child, Jiang Jinzhu doted on him.

His mother was in poor health, and his grandfather often took care of him.

They would also let him ride on their shoulders and take him to play in the street.

But later, his father married a new wife.

The aunt said that her grandfather was old and didn't have the energy to take care of the children, so her father married her to take care of himself.

How old was Chiang Cheng-chou at that time?

He believed his stepmother's words.

Later, my aunt gave birth to a baby brother.

His grandfather also came to see him and even held the little brother.

Before leaving, he was told to listen to his father and aunt.

Jiang Chengzhou doesn't understand anything.

Why did the aunt who was so good to him change her attitude towards him after she got pregnant and gave birth?

His father was the same; all he knew was to make him take care of his aunt and his little brother.

Jiang Chengzhou didn't understand; he thought his grandfather had come to save him.

As a result, Grandpa also told him to listen to Dad and Aunt.

Jiang Chengzhou was somewhat desperate at the time.

Later, when his uncle took him away, his grandfather came to his maternal grandmother's house to look for him.

It was Jiang Chengzhou who refused to go with him and insisted on following his uncle.

He's all grown up now.

My childhood memories are no longer clear, but I understand more or less what exactly happened back then.

Grandpa may not have known how Dad and Aunt treated him back then, but Jiang Chengzhou is no longer the child who longed for Grandpa to save him.

When they were on the island, Grandpa Zhuang said several times that his grandfather wanted to take him back.

Jiang Chengzhou didn't want to.

So rather than resentment and disappointment, the first thing Jiang Chengzhou felt upon seeing his grandfather was fear.

He was afraid his grandfather would take him back.

"Auntie, I'll be more obedient from now on." Jiang Chengzhou stared at Lin Zhilan with wide eyes, tears welling up in his eyes.

Lin Zhilan's nose tingled, and she pretended to glare at him, "You're too obedient. It's not very fulfilling for a parent, is it?"

Jiang Chengzhou didn't quite understand.

Don't adults all like obedient and sensible children?

Lin Zhilan said, "Parents also need to feel needed."

"Hmm..." She thought for a moment, then said, "If someone needs you, it proves that you are important, useful, and irreplaceable. If you are too sensible and independent and don't need me, your aunt will really be sad."

Jiang Chengzhou understood somewhat. "If my sister doesn't let me take her to play, I'll be sad too."

"That's right, that makes sense." Lin Zhilan nodded in satisfaction, then changed the subject, "But, Xiao Chengzhou, is it that you don't want to take your little sister out to play?"

Jiang Chengzhou is much more active on the island than in the capital.

He's practically a king of kids.

My favorite war games are not convenient at all when I'm with little Linlin.

Jiang Chengzhou either had to hand his younger sister over to Yan Yuan and Li Xuan, or he had Qiangzi take Nannan over so that Nannan could keep Linlin company.

In short, he always finds a way to get rid of his sister.

Jiang Chengzhou scratched his head. "Auntie, you know?"

"I already knew," Lin Zhilan said irritably. "You think you hid it well?"

Are you angry?

Lin Zhilan shook her head. "Don't be angry, Chengzhou. It's my and my uncle's responsibility to take care of our sister, not yours. You usually take her out to play, which is helping us, but it's not your obligation."

Children also have their own circles of friends.

Older kids play with other older kids.

Children play with other children.

The games that Jiang Chengzhou plays are not suitable for a child as young as Linlin.

It's perfectly normal that he didn't want to play with his sister.

but……

Lin Zhilan looked at her eldest nephew, "If you don't want to take your sister to play, why are you pushing her to Yan Yuan and Li Xuan? They want to play too."

Jiang Chengzhou rolled his eyes. "Li Xuan only knows how to read books, while Yan Yuan doesn't like to play."

Li Xuan liked reading, Lin Zhilan knew that, but...

How do you know Yan Yuan doesn't like to play?

Jiang Chengzhou, hands behind his back, said, "I just know."

Jiang Chengzhou is a doting brother to his sister. Even if his aunt and uncle don't allow it, he will secretly take his sister to do whatever Linlin wants to do.

But Yan Yuan wouldn't.

Jiang Chengzhou knew that Yan Yuan envied him for having a younger sister.

But Jiang Chengzhou wasn't afraid that Yan Yuan would take Linlin away.

Because Yan Yuan will keep an eye on Linlin.

They wouldn't let her eat a whole popsicle, and they wouldn't let her climb the rocks...

When faced with his sister's request and he was in a dilemma, Jiang Chengzhou would push Yan Yuan forward.

Yan Yuan is a man of principle; if he says no, then no.

Sometimes it would even make Linlin angry.

Jiang Chengzhou was very satisfied.

Since someone helps him keep his sister in check, she won't blame him.

"Aunt, don't worry, I didn't bully Yan Yuan, it was all his own choice."

Lin Zhilan sighed.

They are all children. Even if that's how it's written in the book, Lin Zhilan isn't so heartless as to arrange a marriage for her son-in-law now.

But there's no reason to let someone else take care of your daughter for nothing.

"Chengzhou, next time if you don't want to take your sister out to play, just send her to the Traditional Chinese Medicine department, okay?"
