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

The child kept talking, so Lin Zhilan grabbed Jiang Chengzhou's hand and said, "Alright, we should go buy groceries now."

Jiang Chengzhou was taken aback, then hummed in response, and the usually talkative child suddenly fell silent.

In his memory, this was the first time a female elder had held his hand.

His aunt's hands were warm, like cotton, and Jiang Chengzhou didn't dare to squeeze them too hard.

Liu Chunhua came out from across the hall. "Little sister, going to the supply and marketing cooperative? I'll go with you."

"it is good."

Jiang Chengzhou held his aunt's hand in one hand and his younger sister's hand in the other, his face beaming with undisguised joy.

As the group walked to the entrance of the supply and marketing cooperative, Lin Zhilan noticed that there were many fish and shrimp stalls nearby.

Liu Chunhua explained, "There is little arable land on the island, and the fishermen can only make a living by fishing at sea. The military has given them special permission to sell things near the supply and marketing cooperative. You can buy with confidence; you don't need coupons."

This saved a lot of trouble, Lin Zhilan nodded happily.

"Aunt, you and Aunt Chunhua go inside first. I'll take my little sister to play for a while."

Lin Zhilan was a little worried, after all, there were quite a lot of people here.

Liu Chunhua laughed and said, "Don't worry, the child won't get lost on the island. There are soldiers guarding everywhere."

Lin Zhilan thought that her daughter should go out and make more friends, so she agreed to Chengzhou's request.

When I came out after buying my things, I ran into two women.

Their attire was completely different from that of the military wives here. They both had short, ear-length hair, but one had a long, thin face and the other had a round face and thin eyebrows.

Lin Zhilan had seen the floral polyester tops they were wearing in a store in Guangzhou.

She thought it was too flashy and a bit tacky, so she didn't choose it.

However, in those days, such patterns and materials were already considered fashionable; most people were still wearing plain cotton clothes, some even with patches.

Liu Chunhua whispered, "The one with the round face is Huang Ying, the division commander's niece and also Commander Jiang's wife. The one with the long, thin face is Commander Jiang's sister, Jiang Xiaohong. I heard that Huang Ying has been trying to introduce Jiang Xiaohong to Commander Su. You'd better be careful."

Lin Zhilan glanced at the other person but didn't take it to heart.

Without her in his previous life, Su Lang would have remained unmarried his entire life, which shows that Huang Ying and Jiang Xiaohong's plans did not succeed.

Huang Ying and Jiang Xiaohong didn't look too good.

The rumors circulating in the family compound were spread by the two of them.

Jiang Xiaohong has a long, thin face and delicate features. With a little dressing up, she can be considered a pretty young woman.

She joined the army at the age of 18, hoping to marry an officer.

Su Lang is the regimental commander. He is good-looking and capable, and Jiang Xiaohong had her eye on him long ago.

But Su Lang said that all he wanted to do in this life was marry a fairy, and he even rejected the leading man in the art troupe.

Jiang Xiaohong stubbornly believes that Su Lang simply hasn't seen her strengths and merits, and that one day she will win him over with her actions.

Upon hearing that Su Lang was getting married, and that he was marrying a divorced woman with a child from a previous marriage, Jiang Xiaohong was so angry that she didn't eat for a whole day.

They had initially embellished the story, portraying the woman as a cunning and manipulative vixen, but yesterday afternoon, the atmosphere in the residential compound shifted dramatically.

Almost everyone is saying that Su Lang is lucky to have married such a beautiful wife.

How good can it be?

Jiang Xiaohong and Huang Ying were thinking to themselves, and then, they just happened to run into each other in front of the supply and marketing cooperative today.

Even if they hated her, Jiang Xiaohong and Huang Ying had to admit that she was indeed beautiful, like a vixen.

She has the same clothes in her closet, so why doesn't she dress them as well?

Huang Ying, the division commander's niece, was somewhat arrogant. She and Jiang Xiaohong blocked Lin Zhilan's path, arms crossed, and asked, "Are you the one Commander Su recently married?"

Lin Zhilan chuckled: "A newlywed? Does Su Lang have a previous wife?"

Huang Ying choked and was about to say something when Jiang Chengzhou pulled Linlin out from the side.

"Auntie, don't play with them. They told me you're a bad woman and that you'll definitely throw me out someday!"

The supply and marketing cooperative was bustling with people, but at this moment, it fell silent in tacit agreement.

Huang Ying blushed and snapped, "What nonsense are you spouting!"

"I'm not making this up!" Jiang Chengzhou's eyebrows shot up. "Even if you did, you still want me to make trouble with my uncle and force him to divorce my aunt!"

"you!"

Huang Ying raised her hand to hit him, but Lin Zhilan grabbed it, saying, "You want to hit the child?!"

Jiang Xiaohong tugged at Huang Ying's sleeve, "Sister-in-law, let's forget about it."

"It's all because of you!"

Huang Ying broke free from Lin Zhilan's hand, glared at her fiercely, and squeezed through the crowd to run away.

Jiang Xiaohong bit her lip, lowered her head, and chased after him.

Liu Chunhua's eyes lit up after watching the whole thing.

She knew it! She clearly said that Su Lang really wanted to get married, but how did the rumors outside turn into Su Lang being schemed against?

It turns out it was these two sisters-in-law who were behind this.

She'll have to promote them properly later.

Linlin was probably tired from walking, so she wrapped her arms around her mother's legs and asked for a hug.

Lin Zhilan picked her up and asked Liu Chunhua, "Sister-in-law, I want to go buy some fish..."

"Auntie," Jiang Chengzhou said, taking her hand, "I'll take you shopping."

"Okay, okay, walk slowly."

Jiang Chengzhou pulled her to a small stall. The stall was run by a child about his age. There were two buckets in front of him. One bucket contained miscellaneous fish, and the other was full of crabs, shrimp, and the like.

Liu Chunhua frowned. "These miscellaneous fish are not tasty. We might as well buy grouper."

Jiang Chengzhou said anxiously, "Auntie, can I ask him to give you a discount? Can you buy it from him?"

"Okay, I'll buy it here."

Liu Chunhua secretly shook her head; she realized that this young woman was spoiling the child a bit.

However, Jiang Chengzhou is an orphan, which is a good thing for him.

Lin Zhilan asked Jiang Chengzhou to pick out a few larger miscellaneous fish, and some shrimp and crabs.

The two little boys immediately got to work. Lin Zhilan noticed that Jiang Chengzhou picked out the biggest crabs indiscriminately, while the other boy was more careful, even picking out the dying crabs and setting them aside.

Seeing Lin Zhilan looking at him, the boy blushed and explained, "You can't eat dead crabs, they'll give you a stomachache."

"I understand, thank you for reminding me."

"You're welcome."

After gathering her belongings and preparing to go home, Lin Zhilan overheard Jiang Chengzhou saying goodbye to the boy, "Yan Yuan, I'll return the bucket to you tomorrow."

Yan Yuan.

Lin Zhilan stopped and took another closer look at the boy.

With thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a high nose bridge, he has a serious expression despite his young age, making him a somewhat precocious child.

Is this the street vendor who married Linlin in the book?

The daughter in his arms was leaning over to look at the crabs in her brother's bucket.

Lin Zhilan snapped out of her daze. They were still just children; it was too early for them to be thinking about these things.

Back home, Lin Zhilan first prepared the fish, shrimp, and crabs.

The crabs I bought today are all blue crabs, a total of seven or eight. Lin Zhilan plans to pick out the female crabs and steam them, while the male crabs, which have more meat, will be stir-fried with ginger and scallions.

These two dishes are simple and can be prepared in no time.

But the miscellaneous fish was prepared in a more complicated way.
