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

Xu Yueyun paused for a moment, then laughed.

Even the usually serious Su Bingcheng couldn't help but smirk.

Su Jue and Deng Jing understood each other, exchanged a glance, and noticed that each other's eyes were full of smiles.

Deng Jing was taken aback, then immediately turned her gaze away.

Jiang Chengzhou's face flushed red instantly.

Linlin picked up a piece of meat skewer and said to her brother, "Brother, it's delicious!"

Jiang Chengzhou's throat tightened, and he gently pushed her hand back, saying, "I've already eaten, you eat."

Jiang Chengzhou was also feeling guilty.

He didn't think about his sister when he was "stealing" food outside.

Linlin didn't mind. When she heard her brother say that he had already eaten, she obediently lowered her head and continued eating the meat in her bowl.

Seeing that her younger sister Linlin was eating by herself, Su Yao took the initiative to tell Deng Jing that she wanted to eat by herself.

Deng Jing readily agreed.

So, after eating, there were two little gluttons in the house with their faces covered in seasoning.

Su Jue took the two of them to wash their faces.

But he had never actually taken care of a child for more than a few days.

The movements were rather clumsy.

Jiang Chengzhou, who had come along, couldn't bear to see it and stepped forward to help wipe his two younger sisters' faces clean.

Su Jue studied diligently.

She couldn't help but focus her gaze on Jiang Chengzhou.

Xiao Lang really took good care of him.

If my older sister could see Chengzhou like this now, she would be at peace.

New Year's Eve dinner.

The main dishes are hot pot with mutton and three-delicacy dumplings.

On the round table in the center of the living room, the copper pot was already set out.

The brass pot was polished to a shine, with a chimney in the middle burning charcoal.

The broth at the bottom of the pot was prepared by Lin Zhilan early in the morning.

The soup, made with chicken carcasses, pork bones, and dried scallops, looks light and simple, but it has a rich and savory flavor.

I only added a few slices of ginger and red dates, just so as not to overpower the original flavor of the mutton.

Dipping sauce is the most common recipe in the capital city.

Dilute the sesame paste with sesame oil, then gradually add water while stirring until it becomes smooth.

Then add chive blossoms, minced garlic, and chopped cilantro. If you can handle spice, drizzle with a spoonful of freshly fried chili oil.

The sauce is now ready.

Su Lang had her parents sit in the main seats, with the two families sitting on opposite sides.

The soup in the pot began to bubble, and the aroma rose with the steam, filling the entire room.

Su Lang's family was not usually home.

Su Ding's family, along with Deng Jing, will also be returning home with their children for the Chinese New Year.

But Su Bingcheng had to admit that this year was the most comfortable one he had ever had.

The two boys in Su Ding's family are too noisy, especially Su Lei, who will deliberately bully Su Pei and Su Yao.

Su Bingcheng spent all his time fighting lawsuits for the children, without stopping.

Su Lei is also the kind of person who shouldn't be talked to.

He cries whenever he is criticized.

It's causing a real headache.

Xu Yueyun was in poor health, and Su Bingcheng always endured it.

Because Xiao Yu was around, Fan Biyun could just sit back and do nothing when she came back; all she did was open her mouth and call people.

Su Ding is also a Bodhisattva; she only moves when pushed.

Although she was nicer to Xiao Yu on the surface, she was actually no different from Fan Biyun.

With Su Jue away, Deng Jing was also angry that her two daughters were often bullied by her older brother's children, and they could only stay for a short time each time before leaving.

There was absolutely no festive atmosphere at home during the Chinese New Year.

The eldest son's family is not here this year.

Su Jue and Su Lang have both returned.

There's also the youngest daughter-in-law and granddaughter, whose words and actions are all pleasing to the eye.

Su Bingcheng watched as his wife's face was always smiling these days, and her health was getting better and better.

He completely forgot about the slight reluctance he felt for his eldest son.

According to old custom, firecrackers must be set off before eating the New Year's Eve dinner.

After a round of selection, everyone chose Jiang Chengzhou to be the one to light the firecrackers.

The firecrackers, which I had bought long ago, were tied to the tree in the yard.

Others crowded at the doorway to watch.

Jiang Chengzhou took the lit incense stick, carefully brought it to the tree, and lit the fuse.

He threw away the incense and started to walk back, but Su Jue quickly pulled him behind her.

Jiang Chengzhou glanced at him.

Since they weren't that familiar with each other, they walked over to Lin Zhilan's side.

The fuse burned out, and the firecrackers exploded with a crackling sound.

Linlin clung to her father's neck, too afraid to look.

Lin Zhilan covered Chengzhou's ears, her eyes full of laughter.

Another year has passed; may peace and safety prevail in the years to come.

After setting off the firecrackers, the family returned to the dining table.

Su Lang was the first to act, picking up a slice of mutton with her chopsticks and putting it into the pot.

The thin slices of meat were briefly dipped in the boiling broth and cooked in just a few seconds.

He first placed a chopstick on Su Bingcheng's and Xu Yueyun's plate.

Then he picked up another piece of food with his chopsticks and put it into his wife's and Linlin's bowls.

Linlin took a bite, and her eyes lit up instantly. "Mommy, it's so delicious!"

"Eat more if it's delicious."

Since her second brother and sister-in-law didn't need anyone to take care of them, Lin Zhilan helped Chengzhou pick up meat.

Chengzhou couldn't wait any longer.

He put the lamb rolls into a bowl and dipped them in sesame sauce.

The moment it enters your mouth, the lamb is so tender that you almost don't need to chew it.

The umami flavor explodes on the tongue, the rich sesame paste and the salty freshness of the chive blossoms blend together, plus the stimulation of chili oil, it's simply a delicacy.

Chengzhou felt that his aunt always managed to refresh his taste buds.

Three-ingredient dumplings are also delicious.

Deng Jing is very good at making noodles.

The dumpling wrappers are chewy and don't fall apart. Wrapped with the filling prepared by Lin Zhilan, each bite is a satisfying and delicious experience.

Deng Jing can make noodles and loves to eat noodles.

Everyone else was eating hot pot, but she was the first to try the dumplings.

Her eyes lit up as soon as she took a bite.

"Zhilan, how did you make this filling? It's so delicious!"

Lin Zhilan smiled and said, "I'll copy the recipe for you later, and then send you some dried shrimp and dried abalone."

"No, no, these things are too expensive," Deng Jing hurriedly declined.

I regret asking that question earlier.

It made it seem like she was asking her sister-in-law for something.

Su Jue said, "Sister-in-law, I'll give you the money later. Could you please buy some for the fishermen for me?"

The couple both knew that even though Lin Zhilan lived on an island, buying these things still cost money.

You can't just take it for free.

"Yes, yes, that works too," Deng Jing quickly added.

Lin Zhilan laughed and said, "Let's not settle it like that. If there are any local specialties in the capital, just remember to send me some."

Although it's said that even close brothers should keep clear accounts, being too clear about things can actually hurt feelings.

There's give and take, and we care about each other—that's enough.

Deng Jing immediately started thinking about what gift she could give in return.

The capital city only has a few specialties.

Most of it is food, and when it's shipped to the island, it either rots or spoils.

I really can't hold it.

However, Deng Jing remembered that her uncle had brought back some red sausages from Harbin a few days ago.

This is both delicious and presentable. I'll ask someone to bring some back and send it to the island; it's a good courtesy.

Xu Yueyun pursed his lips at Su Bingcheng.

This is a good example of how brothers and sisters-in-law should get along.

Everyone wants to gain an advantage; who wants to keep suffering losses?

Kids don't care about those things.

They ate without even looking up.

Besides mutton, frozen tofu is also a favorite among children.

It was frozen a day in advance. When you cut it open, it's full of tiny holes. When you put it in the soup, it soaks up all the broth. One bite and your mouth is full of freshness.

Su Pei loved frozen tofu the most and ate several pieces in a row.

Su Bingcheng laughed and said, "Peipei is like your dad. Your dad also loved eating frozen tofu when he was a child."
