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

Su Li's words pulled everyone out of their sad mood, leaving everyone both amused and exasperated.

Lin Zhilan covered her face, no longer daring to look.

Su Jue: "..."

Su Lang pulled her son back, "Can't you behave yourself for once?"

Su Li reached out and strained towards her second uncle, "I need to stamp it."

Su Lang lifted him up, "You've overdone it, son. Your second uncle is only good for his brain; don't hurt him."

Su Jue: "..."

Their family members are the worst at bullying people, young and old alike.

After the joke, Lin Zhilan still had to keep her promise to her second brother.

If you say you'll cook him a delicious meal, then you have to cook a delicious meal.

A fresh sea urchin the size of a fist was cut open with scissors, the black intestines and viscera inside were removed, the yellow roe was rinsed with a gentle stream of water, a few drops of lemon juice were squeezed to remove the fishy smell, and some soy sauce was added. Lin Zhilan ate a whole sashimi on its own.

Deng Jing asked in surprise, "This can be eaten raw?"

"It's so delicious! It's sweet and fresh, and has a milky aroma," Lin Zhilan said softly. "Would you like to try some?"

Deng Jing was somewhat tempted.

Lin Zhilan ordered Su Lang and Su Jue to stand at the kitchen door as door gods, and then quickly processed a sea urchin and fed it to her second sister-in-law.

"How is it?"

Deng Jing's eyes lit up. "It's delicious!"

Su Lang stood at the door and called out, "Wife, I want to eat too."

Su Jue glared at him, "Can't you be normal for once? Don't talk so mushy."

Su Lang glanced at his second brother and clicked his tongue, "Sour grapes."

"I..." Su Jue was speechless with anger.

Lin Zhilan treated another one for Su Lang, but Su Lang refused to help and insisted that Lin Zhilan feed him.

Su Jue turned her face away, refusing to look at the shameless couple, but her eyes inadvertently met Deng Jing's.

However, Deng Jing quickly looked away.

Su Jue's eyes dimmed.

After feeding Su Lang, Lin Zhilan asked Su Jue, "Second Brother, would you like to try some?"

Su Jue suddenly realized, "Then let's try it."

After handling several, Lin Zhilan became increasingly skilled at opening sea urchins, finishing one in no time.

Lin Zhilan handed the prepared sea urchins to Deng Jing, "Second sister-in-law, you go and feed them to Second Brother. It's inconvenient for me, as a sister-in-law, to do this."

Deng Jing lowered her eyes, washing the vegetables in the basin somewhat flusteredly. "Isn't Xiao Lang here? You can just give it to him."

Su Langqing coughed twice, "I can't, my hands hurt, I can't lift the sea urchin."

Deng Jing splashed water and glared angrily at Su Lang.

Su Lang smiled at her, and Deng Jing seemed to see a reflection of Li Li's playful and mischievous self in him.

Deng Jing was caught between anger and laughter. "No wonder Mom said Lili looks like you when you were little. You and your father are both very naughty."

Su Lang firmly denied it and quickly tried to prove himself, "Second sister-in-law, don't be angry. My hand hurts and I can't carry it. Second brother has his own hands, doesn't he? Let him carry it himself."

Su Jue opened her mouth, "...I, my hand hurts too."

Help!

Lin Zhilan had her back to them, and her shoulders shook with laughter.

Su Lang was also on high alert, afraid of laughing out loud, otherwise the couple would be even less likely to make a move.

"dad!"

Su Li suddenly appeared and hugged Su Lang's leg.

Lin Zhilan quickly stuffed the sea urchin into Deng Jing's hand, "Second sister-in-law, hurry, hurry, let second brother eat it quickly, don't let Su Li see it."

Deng Jing was also flustered by her and didn't even have time to feel ashamed before she quickly took it and fed it to Su Jue.

Su Jue opened his mouth to catch it, staring intently at Deng Jing's face.

Deng Jing blushed and quickly put the sea urchin shell down after feeding it.

Su Lang then picked up Su Li, who was blocking the way, and asked, "Weren't you playing with your older brother and sister? Why did you come over?"

"eat."

Su Lang said, "The food isn't ready yet. Are you hungry?"

Su Li shook her head, "Daddy eats."

"Good son, Dad isn't hungry yet. We'll eat together later." Su Lang deliberately misunderstood his meaning.

Su Li got anxious and reached out to pry open his father's mouth.

Su Lang quickly grabbed his hand and opened her mouth to show him.

Seeing that there was really nothing in her mouth, Su Li was somewhat discouraged.

Su Lang smiled and asked, "Are you hungry?"

Su Li wasn't hungry, she was just craving something.

Lin Zhilan didn't dare let the children eat raw food, so she quickly took a plate of dried sweet potatoes and let him grind his teeth with his older brother and sister.

The plate was made of porcelain, and Su Lang carried it to the living room to calm Su Li down.

Today's meal was almost as lavish as the one we had on New Year's Day.

Steamed sea urchin with egg is soft, sweet, and savory; crispy sea cucumber is thick, gelatinous, and delicious; pan-fried fish maw has a rich texture and its umami flavor is enhanced to the extreme, making it impossible for people to stop eating.

Another dish that adults love is braised beef tendon.

The beef tendon is stewed in a pot until it is soft and tender, then taken out and chopped into thick slices. It is then rolled in the prepared seasonings and fried directly in the pot.

The already cooked beef tendon only needs to be lightly fried to release a rich aroma unique to beef. Paired with Lin Zhilan's own secret seasoning, the aroma alone is enough to make your mouth water.

The beef tendon is as chewy as the best glutinous rice flour pastry, soft yet resilient, and easily absorbs flavors. With a little preparation, it can fully absorb the rich aroma of the seasonings.

The sweet and savory flavor of the steamed sea urchin with egg won over the children, while the braised beef tendon dish completely won over the adults.

Su Bingcheng tentatively said, "This dish is good; it's perfect for pairing with drinks."

Lin Zhilan glanced at him and smiled, "Dad, we have some wine at home, shall we have a drink?"

Su Bingcheng immediately beamed, "That's great!"

Lin Zhilan took out a bottle of fine wine from the cabinet, which Cheng Qingshan had asked someone to bring over.

She had Su Lang unpack the wine, then hurriedly went to find a wine glass, muttering, "Mom can't drink, and Second Brother can't drink either because he's taking medicine, so..."

Su Lang volunteered, "I have to keep an eye on the child, so I won't drink anymore."

"You're so kind!" Lin Zhilan gave him an approving look, then asked Lu Gang, who was barely noticeable beside her, "Comrade Lu, would you like some?"

Lu Gang was engrossed in his meal when he heard this and looked up. "No, I can't drink alcohol during the mission."

Lin Zhilan took out three wine glasses and poured a small amount into Su Bingcheng's glass, saying, "Dad, just try this wine, don't overindulge."

Su Bingcheng is getting old. Not only can Xu Yueyun keep him in check, but his son and daughter-in-law can now also control him.

He sighed helplessly and took a precious sip of the wine in his glass.

Lin Zhilan was stingy when pouring wine for Su Bingcheng, but she was very generous when pouring wine for herself and Deng Jing, filling half a glass.

Su Li has her own small table and stool.

Seeing her mother pouring wine, she slipped over and squeezed to the table, standing on tiptoe, gripping the edge of the table with her chubby little hands, her chin just touching the surface. "Lili wants some too."

Lin Zhilan gave him a cup and poured him a glass of water to appease him.

Su Li was quite shrewd; pointing at the wine bottle, she said, "I want this one."

However, experience counts, and Su Lang took the water from him, saying, "If you don't want it, Dad will drink it."

"No, no!" Su Li cried out, reaching out to hug Su Lang's arm. "Li Li's!"
