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

"Can."

Lin Zhilan washed her face under the tap in the yard, changed her shoes, and went into the living room.

Multi-socket power strips are not yet available; there is only a simple single-socket power strip in the living room.

The only fan that could be used in the living room was aimed at Linlin by the two boys.

Linlin was probably stumped by a question, racking her brains to think about it, and her draft paper was full of notes.

Lin Zhilan whispered, "It's too hot this summer. You two wash your faces and go back to your room to use the fan. Don't get heatstroke."

Jiang Chengzhou nodded and led Su Li to take a shower.

Lin Zhilan didn't disturb Linlin and went straight to the kitchen.

The gong in the bucket was probably delivered not long ago and is still alive.

Lin Zhilan added ginger slices and salt to cold water, threw the snails in, and scooped them out as soon as the water began to boil.

The meat from the gong is difficult to obtain.

Lin Zhilan tried using chopsticks, but ultimately switched to using a knife.

She was preoccupied with Linlin's matter, and without noticing, the blade veered slightly and sliced ​​towards her finger.

A hand reached out from behind and gripped the hilt of the knife.

"He was distracted while holding a knife."

Lin Zhilan turned her head; Su Lang had returned at some point.

He had probably just washed his face; there were still water droplets on his hair and face, dripping down his hair and landing on her shoulder, feeling cool.

He'll be forty in a few years, and probably because he often uses Lin Zhilan's beauty cream, Su Lang's features still look as handsome and relaxed as when he was young.

It could also be due to his profession. The term "middle-aged weight gain" is far from Su Lang's experience. He is tall and composed, with well-proportioned and firm muscles. At most, he has gained a bit more maturity and composure, but his appearance has hardly changed.

"When did you get back?" Lin Zhilan asked.

"Just got back," Su Lang took the knife, helped him move aside, and then began to unscrew it. "What were you thinking about just now?"

Lin Zhilan glanced outside the kitchen. "Linlin will be starting junior high this winter. I'm thinking about how to tell him about Zhou Chen."

Su Lang didn't look up, continuing to slice the snail meat with the knife in his hand. "Let's just say it directly, I think Linlin is much stronger than we thought."

Linlin was practically raised by Su Lang. The little girl grew from a spoiled baby into a bright and intelligent young woman. Like Lin Zhilan, Su Lang was extremely proud of his daughter.

Unlike most traditional fathers today, he is not stern and distant from his children at home.

Su Lang would learn from his wife and show affection to the children, often playing games and doing crafts with them.

Linlin is a child who grew up in love and trusts her parents. Su Lang feels that as parents, they should also trust her.

Lin Zhilan instructed him to slice the snail meat thinly, then tilted her head and stared at him, "Do you want to come with me?"

Su Lang stopped wielding his sword, turned around, and said, "Sure, if you two start fighting, I can break it up."

Lin Zhilan scoffed, "My baby and I would never argue."

In the summer on the island, it gets dark very late.

Lin Zhilan sent two boys to buy ice cream and pulled Linlin to the yard to cool off.

Su Lang fanned the mother and daughter from the side.

Linlin looked at Lin Zhilan, who was hesitant, and asked, "Mom, what do you want to tell me?"

"Well……"

Linlin's shoulders slumped. "Are you going on another business trip? Can you take me with you this time?"

As the reputation of the island pharmaceutical factory grew, Cheng Qingshan made her another big promise, and Lin Zhilan did indeed travel more frequently for work in recent years.

With Lin Zhilan away from home, Su Lang and the children became the husband and children left behind.

The atmosphere at home is different when Mom is home and when she's not.

Linlin knew she couldn't interfere with her mother's work, but she wanted to go on the business trip with her.

Lin Zhilan smoothed her freshly washed hair. "This isn't about a business trip. There's something else very important I need to tell you."

"Tell me," Linlin said, resting her head on Lin Zhilan's lap.

Lin Zhilan spoke with slight nervousness, "My mother was divorced before."

"Hmm," Linlin responded, playing with Lin Zhilan's fingers.

"Aren't you surprised?" Lin Zhilan asked, somewhat astonished.

"I already knew that. I also know I'm not my dad's biological child."

Su Lang frowned. "Who told you that?"

Linlin stood up. "Everyone knows, my classmates know too."

Su Lang sat closer and said seriously, "Has anyone at school bullied you? Said unpleasant things to you?"

Linlin thought about it seriously, "It happened before. He deliberately came over and said that Captain Su was my stepfather. I said that my stepfather is a hundred times better than your biological father, and his biological father should feel ashamed. Then he stopped talking."

Su Lang chuckled, "Good job, baby!"

Lin Zhilan patted her daughter's head. "Why didn't you tell your mom and dad before?"

Linlin proudly raised her chin, "I can handle it myself, and I go to school to learn, so their opinions of me don't matter at all."

"Sister Shen Man and Sister Nannan are my friends, as are my older brothers and sisters, my younger brother, Brother Yan Yuan, Brother Li Xuan, and my parents. I don't lack friends. So if they want to be my friends, they should behave well in front of me."

Linlin has a conspicuous younger brother named Su Li.

Whenever Su Li wanted to gain attention from her older sister, she would deliberately act mischievously.

Linlin knew that her parents loved her very much, so she didn't feel anything about the attack and malice in the other person's words. She just felt that he was deliberately trying to get attention in front of her and wanted to play with her.

But Linlin didn't want to play with him.

childish!

boring!

Lin Zhilan thought her daughter was amazing and couldn't help but kiss her on the cheek.

Linlin was a little shy, and tried her best to keep a straight face and suppress the upturned corners of her mouth.

Even though she's so old, her parents still call her "baby."

When Linlin was in third grade, her classmates, who were no longer considered "little babies," thought it was too mushy for Linlin's parents to call her "baby" and laughed at her for being childish.

Children's instinctive tendency to conform makes Linlin somewhat resistant to the term "baby".

Linlin seriously told her parents that they could no longer call her "baby" but had to call her by her name.

Later, during the final exams, many parents came to the school's awards ceremony.

Linlin then realized that her classmates' parents didn't call them by their names either, but by their nicknames.

Some classmates have funny nicknames; their class even has people with nicknames like "Iron Egg," "Dog Egg," and "Second Egg."

Everyone else laughed at the "eggs" in the class, but Linlin laughed at herself in her heart.

It's really foolish to change yourself because of other people's opinions.

When Linlin got home that day, she asked her parents to call her "baby" again.

"Mom, I know you and Dad love me very much." Linlin affectionately rubbed against Lin Zhilan's hand.
