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

Twenty-odd yuan is not a large sum of money.

Workers in pharmaceutical factories and soldiers in the military can earn this amount per month.

The amount of labor required is different.

To these people, painting is nothing more than moving a pen.

It's not the same as doing manual labor.

So some people actually wanted to ask Lin Zhilan about it.

Everyone boarded the ship, each with their own thoughts and feelings, chatting and laughing.

Bai Yang drove the car into the village and stopped it in front of a row of bungalows, then turned off the engine.

Su Lang got out of the car first.

Lin Zhilan followed and looked up at the house in front of her.

The walls are made of stone and the roof is covered with a layer of red mud.

It's clear that the house was recently built; the walls are painted fairly clean.

There is a papaya tree in front of the door, with green papayas hanging all over the tree, not yet fully ripe.

Pushing open the door, there was a small courtyard in front, overgrown with weeds.

There is a central hall inside, and further in is a back hall, plus a bedroom on each side, making a total of four rooms.

The kitchen is located separately on the side of the yard, and there's nothing inside.

Lin Zhilan walked around the room, touched the table with her fingers, and turned to her parents-in-law who had just walked in, saying, "Mom and Dad, this house... are you used to living here?"

This bungalow isn't bad for an island.

Compared to the villas in the capital, the difference is still too great.

Xu Yueyun was looking at the courtyard outside when she heard this and laughed, "I'm used to it, this house is quite nice. When we were fighting, we slept everywhere, in the woods, in caves, everywhere!"

Su Bingcheng was helping Su Lang with his luggage, and without looking up, he chimed in, "I think it's fine too. You young people shouldn't think of us as so delicate. As long as there are roofs and walls and it doesn't leak, it's good."

"I hope you can get used to it," Lin Zhilan said, finding a rag, washing it at the tap outside, and wiping down the tables and chairs.

"However, you still need to come back with us in the next couple of days. Aunt Yu and Liu Feng won't be able to come for another two days. You can move in after they arrive."

Xu Yueyun showed a hint of hesitation.

Lin Zhilan continued, "If you don't want to move, there's nothing I can do. I just went to the kitchen and there's only a wood-burning stove. Right now, we don't have any firewood, and we can't get any coal briquettes, so it's inconvenient to cook."

Xu Yueyun thought for a moment and finally nodded in agreement, "Okay, then we'll stay at your place for a few days. But we'll leave our luggage here for now, so we don't have to move it around, it's too much trouble."

"I'll do as you say."

Lin Zhilan smiled and called out to Su Lang, "Commander Su, bring down Mom and Dad's luggage. Let's pack up a bit more now and go back together later."

Su Lang responded and, together with Bai Yang, unloaded the luggage from the car.

The two elderly people didn't have much stuff.

These are some clothes and daily necessities.

The weather on the island is warm, so there's no need for thick clothes.

Su Lang and Bai Yang went inside to clean, while Su Bingcheng, seemingly out of nowhere, got a sickle and started cutting the weeds in the yard.

Xu Yueyun, holding Linlin's hand, stood outside watching and laughed, scolding, "You're getting senile. If you don't pull the weeds out by the roots, they'll grow back. Why don't you find a hoe and hoe the whole yard? You can plant some vegetables later."

"Okay," Su Bingcheng said, rubbing his hands together, also becoming interested. "Then I'll go ask the neighbors if we can borrow a hoe."

He said that, and then left on his own.

Lin Zhilan smiled and said, "I think Dad is quite happy to be on the island."

"Yes, the old man is happy this time." Xu Yueyun also laughed, "You don't know, your father comes from a farming background and has always longed to farm. I wouldn't let him touch the yard of the little house, and he was itching to get it. Now that he's seen this land, he's finally satisfied."

The courtyard of the small villa was planted with many flowering trees, all of which were planted by Xu Yueyun's elders when they were young.

That was the ancestral home. Su Bingcheng wanted to dig up the ground to grow vegetables, but Xu Yueyun wouldn't allow it.

I never expected to find such a small place on an island.

That's enough for him to dig.

Before long, Su Bingcheng borrowed a hoe from his neighbor and began weeding with great enthusiasm.

Jiang Chengzhou helped his uncle clean the house.

Linlin led her grandmother around, and even took her to see the papaya tree.

Lin Zhilan thought for a moment, looked through everything in the house, and thought about what she was missing so that she could ask Su Lang to get it later.

The family worked for almost an hour until the house was clean and tidy.

After locking the doors and windows, I got back into the car.

Upon arriving at the residential compound, I registered at the entrance before heading home.

The most conspicuous building in the residential compound is the family building.

After passing the family quarters, we arrived at Lin Zhilan's small courtyard.

In the neighboring yard, Aunt Lotus was just coming out with a basin of water when she saw the jeep parked in front of Lin Zhilan's house. Her eyes lit up, she put the basin down and went over. "Dr. Lin, you're finally back."

As soon as Lin Zhilan got out of the car, Aunt Hehua grabbed her hand. She looked Lin Zhilan up and down, wanting to say that she had lost weight, but she couldn't bring herself to say it.

More than half a month had passed since they last met, and Lin Zhilan's complexion was rosy, her eyes were bright, and she looked even more radiant.

"I haven't gained weight. The food in the capital isn't nourishing, is it?"

Lin Zhilan was both amused and exasperated: "Auntie, I've only been gone for half a month, not to eat animal feed."

"Don't joke with me again." Aunt Lotus ignored her and turned her gaze to Xu Yueyun and Su Bingcheng, asking with a smile, "What's this?"

Xu Yueyun smiled and nodded at her: "Hello, elder sister, I am Zhilan's mother-in-law. You can just call me Yueyun."

Hello, hello.

Xu Yueyun and Su Bingcheng looked like respectable people, and Aunt Hehua immediately became reserved.

"Aunt Lotus, we'll go inside first and talk to you later."

"Okay, okay, you guys go ahead, I have something to do too."

Aunt Lotus nodded politely to Xu Yueyun, picked up the basin from the ground, and turned to go back.

Xu Yueyun touched her face. "Zhilan, was I being too serious?"

Xu Yueyun had heard from her younger daughter-in-law that she got along well with her neighbors.

Xu Yueyun also wanted to leave a good impression on her neighbors.

It turned out that the woman just now didn't seem to want to talk to her.

Lin Zhilan smiled and said, "No, you two will get used to each other after spending more time together."

Aunt Lotus is a straightforward person, and her mother-in-law is not a picky person.

You can only believe that once they get to know each other better, their relationship will naturally improve.

Lin Zhilan led her parents-in-law into the house. They hadn't been back for more than half a month, and the house was still quite clean, without a speck of dust.

Just then, Wang Rou walked in from outside. "Sister, I've come to return the keys."

Lin Zhilan has many flowers in her yard and on the balcony upstairs, as well as some mosquito-repelling plants.

Since she wasn't there, I gave the key to Wang Rou.

Let her come and water the flowers and plants from time to time.

"Xiaorou, did you also do the house cleaning?"
