Su Li has a loud voice, is outgoing, and needs attention.

He got upset as soon as Zhou Chen stopped looking at him for a moment.

Su Lang looked over and said, "Director Zhou, just put him on the ground and ignore him."

Zhou Chen wanted to put her down, but Su Li kept her arms around his neck and wouldn't let go.

Jiang Chengzhou walked over, pried open Su Li's little hands, lifted the boy off Zhou Chen's arms, and put him on the ground.

Zhou Chen was worried that Su Li would cry, but as soon as she got down on all fours, she crawled off to play with her older brother and sister.

Jiang Chengzhou was impatient with him, and as soon as Su Li came to his side, he pulled her aside.

Su Li was completely unaware of his brother's disdain for him, and after a while, he crawled over again.

Lin Zhilan and Su Lang were in the kitchen the whole time, completely oblivious to the interaction between the three children.

Zhou Chen stayed here for more than a week, and Linlin gradually got to know him and regarded him as a trustworthy elder.

Although Zhou Chen tried his best to hide it, Jiang Chengzhou had already noticed that Uncle Zhou's eyes were always following Linlin.

Jiang Chengzhou was somewhat wary, but since his uncle and aunt hadn't said anything, he couldn't be disrespectful to his elders.

But every time Zhou Chen took Linlin to the supply and marketing cooperative or out to play, he would stay close to his sister.

Zhou Chen didn't say anything, but instead felt gratified.

It's a good thing that Linlin has an older brother to accompany her as she grows up.

Just before Zhou Chen left, he took Jiang Chengzhou and Linlin to the Southern Building in Guangzhou to buy clothes, snacks, and toys for Linlin.

If Linlin glances at something more than a few times, Zhou Chen will think about buying it for her.

In the end, Linlin didn't dare to say anything or ask for anything, saying that her parents would buy it for her.

Jiang Chengzhou noticed a hint of disappointment in Zhou Chen's eyes and found it somewhat inexplicable.

What's even stranger is that the uncle and aunt actually accepted it.

He didn't stand on ceremony with Zhou Chen at all.

Jiang Chengzhou realized that something was wrong.

He decided to talk to his aunt.

Lin Zhilan was writing at her desk when she heard the knock on the door. Without even looking up, she said, "Come in."

"Aunt, it's me."

Lin Zhilan put down her pen, turned around with a smile, and asked, "What's wrong? Is there something you want to tell me?"

Jiang Chengzhou, with a serious expression, closed the door and walked up to Lin Zhilan.

"Aunt, who exactly is Uncle Zhou?"

Lin Zhilan raised an eyebrow slightly. "Why are you suddenly asking this? Didn't I tell you before? He's the police station chief."

"That's not what I'm asking," Jiang Chengzhou paused for a moment, "He just popped up out of nowhere and suddenly became Su Li's godfather. You're definitely hiding something from me."

Lin Zhilan sighed and asked him to sit in the chair next to her.

"Chengzhou, you know I was married once before, right?"

"Um."

Jiang Chengzhou certainly knew.

When Lin Zhilan came to the island, he was already old enough to understand things. He knew that his aunt had been married before, and he also knew that Linlin was not his uncle's biological daughter.

"Director Zhou is Linlin's biological father."

Jiang Chengzhou was startled, his eyes fixed intently on his aunt. "Will he take Linlin away?"

"No, neither your uncle nor I will agree to it."

Jiang Chengzhou lowered his eyes. "I won't agree either."

Lin Zhilan patted his head and smiled, "Auntie wants to thank you. Thank you for being so good to your sister and brother."

Jiang Chengzhou opened his mouth awkwardly, "I'm the older brother, it's only right."

Jiang Chengzhou cleared up his confusion, talked with Lin Zhilan for a while, and was about to go out when he hesitated by the door.

"Auntie, do you like my uncle?"

Lin Zhilan paused for a moment, then gave a gentle smile. "I like it."

"What do you like?"

Su Lang carried Su Li, who had just finished bathing, in, only to hear Lin Zhilan's last words.

Jiang Chengzhou pinched his younger brother's chubby cheek and said to his uncle, "You better try to be more capable."

Don't drive my aunt away.

Su Lang was baffled. Looking at Jiang Chengzhou's retreating figure, she asked, "Zhilan, what's wrong with that kid?"

"Ah!" Su Li shouted at his father.

Su Lang frowned and threw the loudmouth onto the bed.

Not to be outdone, the trumpet spirit rolled over and tried to get up, but Su Lang subdued it with one hand.

"Ah!" Su Li struggled but couldn't break free, so he could only use his traditional skill and scream.

Lin Zhilan covered her ears. "Su Lang, your son Zhang Fei is reincarnated!"

Su Lang kept calling his son "the loudmouth" in his heart, but he was afraid of being scolded if he said it out loud, so he never dared to tell Lin Zhilan.

His wife was even more sarcastic, saying their son was the reincarnation of Zhang Fei.

Su Lang couldn't help but chuckle, picked up Su Li and walked outside, "Let's go, Zhang Fei, Dad will take you to fight off Cao Cao's army."

"They're so irresponsible," Lin Zhilan sniffed, cursing the father and son in her heart.

Zhou Chen came and went quickly, but he would often send things over so that the children wouldn't forget him.

Once Su Li was completely weaned, Lin Zhilan resumed her work of shuttling between the hospital and the school.

Apart from Su Li, that little rascal, causing some trouble, everything seems to be on the right track.

Until Lin Zhilan received a call from Deng Jing.

Deng Jing cried on the other end of the phone, saying that Su Jue had returned, but he had to be carried back.

When Deng Jing learned the news, she immediately told her to go to the hospital to sign a critical condition notice.

Hearing how panicked she was, Lin Zhilan quickly comforted her, "Second sister-in-law, don't worry, tell me about second brother's situation."

Deng Jing sniffed. "I can't explain it clearly right now. The doctor said it's pulmonary edema caused by lack of oxygen, and she's still being treated."

Deng Jing was terribly panicked.

There were two armed soldiers guarding the entrance to the operating room, so we couldn't get anything out of them.

She had no idea what had happened and could only anxiously wait outside.

It was only when the doctor saw how panicked she was and asked if she had any other family members that Deng Jing remembered to call Lin Zhilan.

Lin Zhilan glanced at her watch and reassured her, "Second sister-in-law, don't worry, I'll go ask for leave right now. You wait for me at the hospital."

Deng Jing burst into tears on the other end of the phone.

Lin Zhilan hung up the phone, returned to the Traditional Chinese Medicine department, took off her white coat, greeted Ye Congshan, and immediately ran home.

Linlin and Jiang Chengzhou hadn't finished school yet, while Xu Yueyun and Su Bingcheng stayed home with Su Li.

Xu Yueyun is much better now, but Lin Zhilan still doesn't dare to tell her such a big thing rashly, only saying that she has an urgent business trip to attend to.

Xu Yueyun quickly went to help her pack her things.

"Mom!" Su Li staggered over and hugged her leg.

Lin Zhilan squatted down and kissed him on the cheek. "Lili, listen to your grandparents and your older siblings at home. Mom will be back in a few days."

Su Li nodded blankly, leaning against the bedpost as she watched her pack her clothes.

There is another ferry leaving the island at night.

Lin Zhilan was in a hurry to leave, and she couldn't wait for Su Lang to return.

"Mom, if Su Lang asks, tell him to wait for me in the phone booth. I'll call him as soon as I arrive at Guangzhou Railway Station."
