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

Su Jue only suffered a ruptured eardrum and severe hearing loss.

But the little trumpet spirit's cries were so penetrating that even his half-deaf second uncle could hear them in the ward.

After the needles were removed, Su Jue let out a breath and smiled, "Is Su Li outside?"

Deng Jing had written to him. Although Su Jue had not yet met him, he knew that they had another child named Su Li.

Lin Zhilan put away the needles and opened the door with a smile.

"Su Li, come here to Mommy."

Su Li glanced at her and hugged Lu Gang even tighter, as if retaliating against her for not taking her in with her earlier.

"Hurry up!" Lin Zhilan urged, her voice becoming a little louder.

There's a saying, "A loud drum doesn't need a heavy hammer." Well, my own brat is the kind of drum that needs a heavy hammer.

When her mother scolded her, Su Li would obediently reach out her hand to her mother.

Lin Zhilan picked him up and transformed into a gentle mother, carrying the child into the ward.

"Second Brother, this is Su Li," Lin Zhilan practically shouted as she introduced him.

He patted his son's bottom again, "Su Li, call him Second Uncle."

"like!"

Su Li was relaxed; that was her usual tone.

Su Jue smiled at Su Li, patted his pocket, and said apologetically, "Second Uncle didn't bring a gift, but I'll definitely prepare one for you next time."

Su Li didn't understand, and bit her finger as she looked him over.

Lin Zhilan disgustedly took his hand out and wiped it with a handkerchief.

Su Jue was still not in good spirits, so Lin Zhilan didn't let Su Li disturb him and carried him back to the Traditional Chinese Medicine department to brew medicine for Su Jue.

When Su Li got home that evening, as soon as she saw her grandparents, older brother, and older sister, she began to talk incoherently about her trip to the Traditional Chinese Medicine department that day.

He still speaks haltingly, only knowing a few words fluently.

Lin Zhilan had heard him say "love" several times, but apart from Su Lang who could guess what he meant, no one else knew what he was talking about.

After taking the two elderly people back to the village that evening, Lin Zhilan had already put the children to sleep.

The couple naturally started talking about Su Jue.

Su Jue will be undergoing surgery soon, and her body needs time to recover. Their work is not something the two of them can interfere with.

But my second sister-in-law must be heartbroken.

Su Jue was indeed a national hero, but he was always absent from his family life.

He was lucky this time; he was taken to the hospital in time and his life was saved.

No one had any reason to criticize or question him except Deng Jing and her two children.

In particular, Su Jue's job was confidential, and Deng Jing only knew that her husband's job was important, but she didn't even know the specifics.

Even when there was a possibility of sacrifice, Su Jue still chose to work.

In Deng Jing's mind, which was in a daze at the time, this was undoubtedly another abandonment of her and her daughter.

There must be a hurdle in Deng Jing's heart, and she doesn't know when she can get over it, or even if she can get over it at all.

Su Lang hugged his wife and suddenly asked her, "When I went on that mission, did you resent me?"

Lin Zhilan looked up and met his gaze. "Do you want to tell the truth?"

"certainly."

Lin Zhilan smiled slyly, "I complain when I'm tired, and I complain when I encounter troubles."

At times like this, I would think, "If only Su Lang were here."

However, it was through these repeated "resentments" that Lin Zhilan realized and faced her dependence on and feelings for Su Lang.

Su Lang felt a little ashamed and hugged his wife tightly, saying, "Thank you for your hard work."

Lin Zhilan pushed him away, "Why don't you ask me what I'm thinking at other times?"

Su Lang looked at her expectantly, "What are you thinking about?"

"I don't want to think about anything. Who cares about you when you're happy?"

Su Lang was furious and scratched the itchy spot on her waist.

Lin Zhilan chuckled, and the couple stared wide-eyed at the small bed next to them.

The trumpet spirit lay on the small bed, fast asleep.

The two of them breathed a sigh of relief.

Little Trumpet is full of energy; if you wake him up, neither of them will get a full night's sleep.

……

Deng Jing has received several letters from the island in recent months.

Some were written to her by Lin Zhilan, and some by Su Jue.

Su Jue underwent eardrum repair surgery, and after several months of recuperation, her body has largely recovered.

Lin Zhilan prepared medicinal meals for him every day, and finally he recovered and looked somewhat normal again. Only then did she tell Xu Yueyun and Su Bingcheng that Su Jue was hospitalized in the military hospital.

Not knowing what Su Jue had said to his parents, Xu Yueyun and Su Bingcheng remained silent for a long time before taking over the task of preparing traditional Chinese medicine for Su Jue.

In his letter to Deng Jing, Su Jue did not ask for her forgiveness; he simply recounted the events that had occurred at the military hospital.

My sister-in-law made him some kind of medicinal meal again today; it tasted strange.

Xiao Lang can style Lin Lin's hair in several different ways, so he can do a different look every day. He's been wanting to learn how to do it recently.

Jiang Chengzhou is growing too fast and is experiencing growing pains. Lin Zhilan is thinking about how to help him supplement his calcium intake.

Su Li is too mischievous and naughty; he's either causing trouble or getting beaten up.

……

He told Deng Jing everything, bits and pieces, but never mentioned his own affairs.

Deng Jing kept the letter, but only replied to Lin Zhilan.

He never wrote a single word for Su Jue.

Just as the children were about to start their winter break, Deng Jing received another letter from Su Jue.

This time, nothing else was written, just a simple sentence.

"I am ill in a foreign land, and I am filled with guilt and unease. All my thoughts are with you and our daughter. Please set off to relieve my lovesickness."

After reading it, Deng Jing sat in the living room in silence for a long time.

After Su Pei and Su Yao finished washing up, they saw Deng Jing sitting in the living room in a daze. They came over and looked at her worriedly, "Mom..."

The last time Su Pei and Su Yao were sent to their maternal grandmother's house, when they returned home, both children noticed that something was wrong with their mother.

But Deng Jing didn't say anything, and the two children didn't dare to ask.

I can only try my best to behave well so as not to worry my mother.

Deng Jing suddenly realized, and hugged her two daughters. "Winter vacation starts in a couple of days, and your aunt has invited you to spend the New Year on an island. Would you like to go?"

"Is Mom going too?" Su Pei asked, looking at her.

Deng Jing was still hesitating.

Su Pei rested her head on her shoulder. "If Mom goes, I'll go too."

Su Yao rested her head on her other shoulder and rubbed against her.

Deng Jing naturally knew that both children wanted to go.

Two summers ago, we went to an island, and the two kids always bring it up at home.

Even when Su Pei writes essays, she will bring up the island whenever she has the chance.

Deng Jing hesitated for a whole night, and then went back to her parents' home the next day.

She didn't tell her family about Su Jue, only saying that her younger siblings had invited them over, and that she probably wouldn't be able to spend the New Year at home this year.

Deng Jing's parents knew that their daughter got along well with her sister-in-law, and since Xu Yueyun and Su Bingcheng had stayed on the island this year and hadn't returned, they didn't think much of it and instead supported her going.

Su Pei and Su Yao, on the other hand, were so excited about going to the island that they couldn't sleep at night, chattering away about what gifts to bring for their aunt and sister.

Seeing her daughter so happy, Deng Jing finally felt some relief from the gloom in her heart.

Lin Zhilan knew that her second sister-in-law would be bringing her two nieces, and that Su Jue had a place to stay, so she still prepared a room for her second sister-in-law.
