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

"Second sister-in-law, no need to move. Linlin and I can sleep downstairs together."

Deng Jing thought for a moment, "Okay, I'll sleep next door. Just call me if you need anything."

Su Lang coughed nervously, "Second sister-in-law, can you arrange for me to do something too?"

Su Lang has been a father for quite some time, but this is the first time he has experienced his wife's pregnancy.

After the initial euphoria, Su Lang felt somewhat anxious.

He was both excited and flustered, and somewhat at a loss.

This was the first time Deng Jing had seen Su Lang like this, and she couldn't help but chuckle. "Calm down, Zhilan can't get upset or overwork herself right now. When she's more pregnant, it will be even harder for her, and you'll have to take good care of her. Anyway, I'm not leaving for a while, so I'll talk to you about it then."

Su Lang nodded hurriedly and took Lin Zhilan's arm as they walked into the room.

Deng Jing watched their retreating figures and smiled for a while, then her eyes dimmed again.

Su Jue was not by her side when she was pregnant with Peipei and Yaoyao.

I wonder how Su Jue is doing now...

No one saw a dark figure flash by at the corner of the stairs.

Liang Ping was not found, and Jiang Chengzhou couldn't sleep.

He listened upstairs to the sounds as the adults returned.

I never expected to hear that my aunt was pregnant.

Jiang Chengzhou couldn't tell whether he was pleasantly surprised or shocked.

Jiang Chengzhou was very happy. His aunt, uncle, and second aunt were all delighted. Jiang Chengzhou naturally knew that his aunt's pregnancy was a good thing, but he had some indescribable feelings in his heart.

Jiang Chengzhou didn't tell anyone.

He didn't actually like Su Pei and Su Yao coming to his house, nor did he like his aunt hanging out with them.

Li Xuan and Yan Yuan, as well as Jiang Chengzhou, did not like their aunt getting too close to them.

Jiang Chengzhou just hopes that his aunt will like him and his sister.

Jiang Chengzhou felt he was stingy, but he didn't want his aunt to know he was stingy.

My aunt is pregnant again.

Jiang Chengzhou tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep.

Su Lang also didn't sleep all night. The next day, just as dawn was breaking, the uncle and nephew, both with dark circles under their eyes, bumped into each other in the living room.

Su Lang ruffled his nephew's hair. "Why are you up so early if you don't have to go to school?"

Jiang Chengzhou avoided his gaze, "I made plans with Yan Yuan to go beachcombing on the island."

Are any adults here?

"have."

It's summer vacation now, so the fishermen are busy, and the children at home aren't taking a break either.

They would usually be taken by boat to small islands that were exposed after the tide went out, where they would collect seafood.

Jiang Chengzhou also went with Yan Yuan a few times.

Su Lang didn't ask any further questions. She took a few peach shortbreads from the cupboard and said, "Take these and eat them with Yan Yuan. Be careful."

"oh."

Jiang Chengzhou took the peach shortbread and ran away.

……

Yan Yuan was tidying up the fishing nets in front of the house, skillfully straightening the torn nets and retying them.

Jiang Chengzhou tiptoed up behind him, chuckled, and patted him on the shoulder.

Yan Yuan wasn't intimidated; he merely glanced at him indifferently. "What brings you here today?"

Feeling a bit bored that he hadn't scared anyone, Jiang Chengzhou shoved the peach shortbread wrapped in oil paper into Yan Yuan's hand, saying, "I brought this for you. I'm going to the beach with you today."

Yan Yuan frowned. "Does Aunt Lin know?"

"My uncle will tell her."

Knowing that his family had agreed, Yan Yuan didn't say anything more. He placed the sesame oil on the clean stone table next to him and continued to sort through the net.

"You were looking for someone in the mountains yesterday? Did you find them?"

Jiang Chengzhou pursed his lips. "Found it."

Yan Yuan put the fishing net away and looked up at Jiang Chengzhou.

Jiang Chengzhou had dark circles under his eyes, clearly indicating he hadn't slept well.

"Is this person related to you?"

"The new neighbor is just a little kid."

Liang Ping is older than Jiang Chengzhou. When Jiang Chengzhou called Liang Ping a "little kid," he didn't even consider his own age.

Stealing money isn't exactly something to be proud of. Jiang Chengzhou was angry before, but now that the money has been returned, his anger has subsided, and he's no longer dwelling on the theft.

Yan Yuan nodded.

He took down two pairs of straw sandals used for beachcombing from the wall and threw one pair to Jiang Chengzhou.

Jiang Chengzhou was familiar with the process, so he took off his shoes and put them on.

Grandpa Yan Yuan also came out of the house at this time. When he saw Jiang Chengzhou, he asked him if his family had agreed.

The weather is nice today, with no wind, which is why fishermen bring their children out.

Hearing that Jiang Chengzhou's family had agreed, Grandpa Yan Yuan led them onto the boat together.

The fishing boats of the collective brigade have a capacity of 6 to 12 people.

I only travel to the coastal areas near my home, going and returning on the same day.

Grandpa Yan walked over to the small, dilapidated boat, checked the engine, greeted the others, and then took the child away.

"Coo coo coo~~"

The crude, rusty engine began to emit thick smoke, and the small boat, its ropes untied, steered forward.

The sea breeze was salty, and the seawater was a clear, deep blue.

Several seagulls circled in the air, occasionally skimming across the water's surface, hoping to catch some fish swimming on the water's surface.

Jiang Chengzhou sat on a bench in the cabin, resting his chin on his hands and looking out.

An unusual quiet.

Soon the ship arrived at a deserted island.

The adults had to go back to casting their nets, so they put the children down, gave them a few of the usual instructions, and then sailed away.

This small island has a rocky reef area, densely covered with mussels, row after row, the small island is full of them.

The scientific name for mussels is Mussela spp. They have large, bright green shells and live year-round on the seabed or rocky reefs. Their meat is plump and delicious.

Yan Yuan took the iron hook and bucket, stood on the rock, and demonstrated for Jiang Chengzhou.

"Use the tip of the iron hook to pry it up. Once you've dug out one, the others will be much easier to dig out."

"I see."

Jiang Chengzhou walked to a slightly flat area and clumsily dug for mussels with an iron hook.

Just like Yan Yuan said, once you pry one out, the others become much easier.

Yan Yuan was much more agile than him. He used the iron hook to pry and dig, and after finishing one spot, he carried the bucket to the next.

After he had filled his two buckets, Jiang Chengzhou had only filled a small half-bucket.

Yan Yuan helped fill his bucket, and then the two found a flat rock to sit down and eat the peach shortbread they had brought that morning.

Two children accompanied them to the island, sitting on the other side eating coarse flour buns they had brought from home.

After finishing his peach shortbread, Jiang Chengzhou clapped his hands and announced, "My aunt is pregnant."

Yan Yuan tilted his head slightly. "It's a good thing."

The island is quite large, but Lin Zhilan is a celebrity on the island.

Gossip about celebrities is something many people love to hear.

Everyone knows that Lin Zhilan was married before, and Linlin is not Su Lang's biological daughter.

Some nosy people even "concerned" about Lin Zhilan's belly.
