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

He greeted Tu Jing, asking him to watch the child, and went to wait by the toilet door.

Tu Jing was ordered around by this person and that person early in the morning, but he wasn't angry. Instead, he just chuckled.

The old leader also woke up and laughed, "Envious? I asked you to attend the social gathering before, but you wouldn't go."

Tu Jing: "No rush, I'll think about relationships after your surgery."

The old leader shook his head and smiled.

Su Lang and Lin Zhilan returned quickly.

Linlin had already woken up by then, and surprisingly, she didn't cry. When she saw her mother come back, she even held up the things in her hand to show her mother.

Lin Zhilan took a look and found it was a military medal.

"Baby, quickly give this back to Grandpa."

Cheng Qingshan laughed and said, "It's nothing, it's a gift for the child."

"No, this is too expensive."

"I have plenty of this," Cheng Qingshan waved his hand. "Comrade Lin, what's for breakfast?"

Lin Zhilan: "..."

Tu Jing also looked over expectantly.

With the steamed buns from the dining car, the three men devoured them in a flash, their faces full of amazement. A full jar of sauce was reduced to half in an instant.

Since they were getting off the bus in the afternoon, Lin Zhilan didn't hesitate to let them eat as much as they wanted.

Just as Cheng Qingshan reached for the third steamed bun, Lin Zhilan stopped him.

"Your health is not good; you cannot overeat."

"I can eat."

"cannot."

"Sigh." Her attitude was firm, and Cheng Qingshan reluctantly withdrew his hand.

Lin Zhilan knew he was no ordinary person, perhaps...

"Sir, may I take your pulse?"

Cheng Qingshan: "You studied medicine?"

"I learned it from my elders in the family, it's traditional Chinese medicine."

Cheng Qingshan laughed heartily, placed his hand on the table, and said, "Please go ahead."

Lin Zhilan calmed herself, grasped the other person's wrist and examined it for a while, then pondered, "Your liver was injured, and your gallbladder was also removed?"

Tu Jing was utterly astonished.

In recent years, the "Destroy the Four Olds" movement has focused on eliminating old ideas, old culture, old customs, and old habits.

Traditional Chinese medicine was also included among these four old things.

Influenced by this idea, Tu Jing also believed that Western medicine was the more progressive and superior one.

When a leader goes to the hospital, he has to undergo all sorts of tests before Western doctors dare to make a diagnosis.

Lin Zhilan can diagnose a person's illness simply by looking at their pulse.

Cheng Qingshan replied truthfully, "Yes, I was shot before, and the bullet is still inside."

Tu Jing quickly asked, "Is there any way to remove the bullet?"

Lin Zhilan withdrew her hand: "Surgery."

"Is there really no way for traditional Chinese medicine to help?" Tu Jing asked, somewhat disappointed.

Lin Zhilan slowly said, "Traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine each have their advantages and are not opposed to each other. Traditional Chinese medicine has its flaws, so we should take its essence and discard its dross. It is not a good thing to discard it indiscriminately."

Tu Jing glanced around and whispered, "You're really brave."

Lin Zhilan chuckled, "This is what the Chief wrote in the book, who dares to say it's wrong?"

She recently not only thoroughly read "Little Red Book," but also read many books and poetry collections by high-ranking officials.

Cheng Qingshan nodded slowly. This campaign was massive, but in some aspects, were the actions distorted during the policy implementation phase?

It seems I should tell my old comrades.

Cheng Qingshan slowly said, "Young comrade, then tell me, how should traditional Chinese medicine treat my illness?"

"It benefits qi and blood, and soothes the liver and strengthens the spleen. Sir, in my opinion, your current physical condition is not suitable for surgery?"

Tu Jing seemed even more anxious than Cheng Qingshan. "What should we do?"

Lin Zhilan: "I'll focus on recuperation first. I heard that there's a Traditional Chinese Medicine department in the military hospital. I'll just follow the doctor's instructions."

"Okay, thank you for reminding me."

Lin Zhilan is too young, with a beautiful face as radiant as jade, making it hard to believe that she possesses such superb medical skills.

Cheng Qingshan and Tu Jing didn't say much.

In the afternoon, the train arrived at its final destination, Guangzhou.

Cheng Qingshan took the remaining half can, and in exchange, Xiao Linlin received two military medals.

Lin Zhilan felt helpless but also admired the old man in front of her. He must have come through gunfire and had so many medals that they seemed to be sold wholesale.

After declining Cheng Qingshan's invitation to come along, Su Lang and Lin Zhilan took the child to a guesthouse in Guangzhou. After taking a shower, they lay on the bed and slept like mad.

The boat to the island wouldn't leave until 5 p.m., so after a good night's sleep, they went to the state-run store again before boarding the boat.

As expected of Guangzhou, the state-run stores here have a much wider variety of goods than those in town, and there are even counters selling watches and clothes on the second floor.

According to Su Lang, neither he nor his nephew had ever cooked at home, and they didn't have any pots, pans, or utensils, all of which needed to be purchased.

She and Linlin also need to buy some new clothes. They wore cotton-padded jackets when they were in the north, but people here are still wearing single-layer clothes and short sleeves.

She just doesn't have much money right now, which makes her feel a little melancholy.

Fearing his wife might hesitate to buy, Su Lang said, "Buy whatever you want. Once we get to the island, transportation will be difficult, and some things we want to buy won't be available. Don't try to save me money."

The wealthy Su Lang spoke up, and after some hesitation, Lin Zhilan asked him, "Su Lang, could I buy a watch?"

"certainly."

Su Lang felt somewhat guilty. He hadn't thought things through. He'd heard from his comrades that it was now fashionable to get married with "three turns and one sound" (a traditional Chinese wedding accessory), but he hadn't prepared anything for Lin Zhilan before casually marrying her.

Upon arriving at the watch counter, Su Lang had the most expensive watch brought out.

Lin Zhilan gave him a reproachful look, then picked out one she liked. However, the watch strap was a bit long, so she had to give it to her master to have it altered before she could pick it up the next day.

Su Lang took out his money to pay the bill, "It's okay, I'll change it."

Little Linlin curiously touched the watch on her mother's wrist, and Su Lang asked the staff at the counter, "Do you have watches for children?"

The staff at the counter couldn't help but laugh.

Lin Zhilan quickly pulled him away, scolding, "You're just wasting your money. She's such a small person, does she even know how to read a watch?"

"If she likes it, she can play with it."

Unable to argue with him, Lin Zhilan carried her daughter and walked forward.

Su Lang sniffed at Linlin, earning a sweet smile from her daughter.

Su Lang also wanted to buy a sewing machine, a radio, and a bicycle, but Lin Zhilan stopped him from buying them all.

The radio and bicycle are fine, but the sewing machine? She doesn't know how to use it, so buying it would be a waste.

He seemed like a spendthrift, and Lin Zhilan was no less extravagant, buying a lot of ready-made clothes for herself and her daughter.

Su Lang happily paid the money, and then she heard her say, "When I start working, I'll pay you back for the watch and clothes."

Su Lang's smile visibly faded. "Comrade Lin, I ate chicken and pancakes on the train. I don't know what price you set, how much should I pay?"

Lin Zhilan bit her lip, realizing that she might have been too formal and hurt the other person.

But she spent so much money this time...

Su Lang: "I'll go buy a sewing machine."
