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

"Was the crab a gift for me?" Lin Zhilan asked.

"Yes." Yan Yuan secretly clenched his fist behind his back. "I don't know when Grandpa will get better. I can catch crabs too, it's not difficult."

Lin Zhilan laughed and said, "Xiao Yuan, I'm only in my early twenties, there's no need to rush."

"If you want to thank me, there will be many more opportunities in the future, but if you often stay up late, you won't have the chance to grow taller."

"No, it won't happen." Yan Yuan looked up at her.

Lin Zhilan laughed in exasperation.

Jiang Cheng grew tall quickly, and his height was among the tallest in his class; people several grades above him were probably not as tall as him.

Yan Yuan's physical attributes weren't as good, but he was as tall as Cheng Zhou.

That's why he dared to say that.

"Traditional Chinese medicine says that midnight is when liver blood returns to its meridians and kidney qi is generated. You are currently at the age where you are growing rapidly. If you often stay up late, your kidney essence will be depleted, and your bones will stop growing. Don't think it's okay now. After these two years, it will be difficult to grow taller. You'll be shorter than Linlin by then, and it will be too late to cry."

Yan Yuan smiled, knowing that Aunt Lin was concerned about him.

"I see."

"Knowing doesn't mean you have to do it," Lin Zhilan said irritably. "If you want to thank me, then grow up properly. I'm so young, do you think I won't wait until you're successful?"

Yan Yuan smiled but remained silent.

"Just as stubborn as your grandpa. Come home with me for dinner later, and bring some food for your grandpa too."

"No need, I can make it myself at home," Yan Yuan quickly replied.

Lin Zhilan glanced at him, "Making fish rice for your grandfather again?"

Yan Yuan blinked, tacitly agreeing.

"Your grandfather's illness requires him to eat less seafood and more vegetables, rice, and noodles. You happen to have crabs; how about you trade them with me?"

Fishermen on the islands lacked staple foods, so they "invented" fish rice.

Their staple food consists of boiling fish and seawater directly, draining and letting it cool.

Yan Yuan thought for a moment and realized that there was indeed no rice or flour left at home.

I had no choice but to agree.

While Lin Zhilan was giving her grandfather acupuncture, Yan Yuan quickly went home again.

Back home together, Linlin ran towards Yan Yuan as soon as she saw him, swinging her braids. "Brother Yuan, I'm back! Did you miss me?"

Yan Yuan pursed his lips, gave a soft "hmm," and a faint smile appeared on his face.

"This is for you, a New Year's gift."

Yan Yuan took out a seashell from behind his back.

This is the shell of a white-lipped clam, as big as two adult hands.

The shell has a pearly luster, and under the sunlight it appears a faint pink color with a layer of silvery-white pearly sheen.

"Wow, it's so beautiful!"

Linlin jumped up. "Is this for me?"

"Um."

Linlin took it with both her little hands, held it in her arms, her eyes wide open, her joy overflowing.

She happily held the seashell and went to show it off to her grandparents.

Yan Yuan's lips curved slightly.

Jiang Chengzhou leaned closer and wrapped his arms around Yan Yuan's neck. "Yan Yuan, where's my gift?"

Yan Yuan's smile faded. "If you surpass me in the next exam, I'll try to find you someone too."

"Then forget it," Jiang Chengzhou shook his head, looking up at the sky. "You always get perfect scores, how can I possibly surpass you?"

A hint of a smile flashed in Yan Yuan's eyes.

Such a large white butterfly shell is very hard to find.

Only when we go out to sea to cast our nets can we occasionally catch one or two.

But fishermen consider shells to be useless and usually just throw them back into the sea.

The seashell that was given to Linlin was something that Grandpa Yan Yuan specially kept because he knew his grandson liked tinkering with these things.

Yan Yuan knew Linlin would definitely like it, so he polished it clean as a New Year's gift.

As expected, Linlin liked it, and Yan Yuan knew he had made the right choice.

Lin Zhilan packed the food she had prepared for Grandpa Yan Yuan into an enamel mug, sealed the lid tightly, and put it in a cloth bag.

After dinner, Yan Yuan greeted Xu Yueyun and Su Bingcheng, and then prepared to return to the hospital with Lin Zhilan.

Before leaving, Lin Zhilan reminded Jiang Chengzhou to steam all the crabs and wait for her to return.

Crabs eat carrion, so their intestines are full of bacteria.

While alive, crabs can suppress their own urges, but once they die, the bacteria inside their bodies multiply rapidly, quickly decomposing the crab meat and producing large amounts of histamine.

Histamine is toxic and cannot be completely killed by high-temperature cooking.

It can easily cause vomiting and diarrhea in people, and in severe cases, it can lead to poisoning.

Su Bingcheng waved his hand at her, "Don't worry, I've got you covered at home, I'll definitely be able to handle it."

"Dad, I'm leaving you with my life now."

"Okay, no problem."

Lin Zhilan winked at Cheng Zhou, signaling him to keep an eye on the old man.

Jiang Chengzhou understood immediately and made a face behind his grandfather's back.

Not long after this incident, the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine admitted its second inpatient.

Aunt Yu and Liu Feng came over with Factory Director Qian.

Dean Liu also came by once and gave Lin Zhilan some materials, asking her to write a research summary and clinical report on this case.

At the same time, she secretly gave him a copy of the "Chinese Medical Journal".

"Read more of the papers in there and try to write some yourself; it will be beneficial for your future professional title evaluation."

At this stage, the evaluation of professional titles depends on seniority, performance, and public opinion.

However, Dean Liu has some connections with researchers in major cities and hospitals, as well as experts in national key projects and new drug research, who are still writing papers.

The issue of whether or not to revive the "Chinese Medical Journal" is already being discussed.

Dean Liu has already heard rumors that this matter will be settled within one or two years.

The paper will definitely be restored later.

If Lin Zhilan really cures this patient with sequelae of polio, she will become famous, and the entire military hospital will become famous as well.

If this paper were written, its value would be immeasurable.

Dean Liu's main concern was that Lin Zhilan wouldn't be able to write.

After all, she didn't graduate from a professional acting school and hadn't received systematic training.

Little did he know, Lin Zhilan's methods were incredibly systematic.

She has not only published many important papers in various authoritative journals at home and abroad, but is now also guiding students in writing papers.

"I understand, thank you, Dean Liu."

Dean Liu peeked at Liu Feng and exclaimed in admiration, "Dr. Lin, I truly admire you."

He went back to the capital to visit relatives, but brought back a patient with him.

The main problem is that, in the eyes of most people, this disease is incurable.

It doesn't affect lifespan, so many people can only accept it.

If Lin Zhilan can truly restore the motor function of the child inside, it will not only mean a breakthrough in overcoming the sequelae of polio, but also that traditional Chinese medicine can help other patients with impaired motor nerve function.

This is a military hospital, and most of the patients we receive have external injuries.

Rehabilitation is also a very important part of hospital care.

Then this research is extremely important.

Lin Zhilan said, "Dean Liu, let's keep a low profile."

The matter was to be carried out in secrecy, and Lin Zhilan did not want it to become a public scandal before it even had a chance to be resolved.

"I understand, I understand," Dean Liu replied repeatedly, while also urging her to attend classes at Yangcheng College of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

As they were talking, Aunt Yu came out of the ward.
