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

It's eight o'clock!

The ferry to the island departs at 8:30 this morning, which is a bit late.

Lin Zhilan quickly changed her clothes, but Su Lang was nowhere to be seen outside.

On the table were cooked corn and white porridge, with a note placed next to them.

Lin Zhilan picked up the paper; the handwriting was familiar to the man.

"I've already gone out to pick up the kids. Remember to eat breakfast, and then you can take a nap."

A gentle smile unconsciously appeared on Lin Zhilan's face as she slowly began to eat her breakfast.

This time, Chen Dongfeng brought the children back. Su Lang wanted to invite him to stay on the island for a few days, but Chen Dongfeng couldn't take too much leave and had to go back that day.

Su Lang had no choice but to treat him to a meal at the Yangcheng State-run Hotel and then send him back.

Before leaving, Chen Dongfeng sighed, "Please tell my sister that Miao Yue and I both want to visit her, but we don't have time. Please tell her not to blame us."

"No," Su Lang said with a smile. "After your sister and I retire, we'll go back to visit our godparents."

Chen Dongfeng smiled and agreed, greeted the children, and turned to walk towards the train station.

The children couldn't wait to go home.

Su Li grabbed Su Lang anxiously, "Where's Mom? Why didn't Mom come to pick me up?"

Su Lang laughed and said, "Who do you think you are? Do you need your mother to come pick you up in person?"

"The third one!"

Su Lang tapped the third child on the head, "Mom is waiting for you at home. She said she's going to cook you a big meal."

Upon hearing this, Su Li cheered.

Su Lang looked at her daughter and nephew, "How was it? Did you have fun in Zhouxin County?"

Linlin smiled sweetly, "It's fun, but I miss my mom and dad so much."

Su Lang's lips instantly curled up. "Mom and Dad miss you too. We'll go out and play together next time we have time."

Su Lang and Jiang Chengzhou exchanged a glance.

Jiang Chengzhou nodded to his uncle.

Su Lang was relieved.

It seems nothing went wrong in Zhouxin County, at least it didn't affect Linlin's mood.

Su Lang and her three children caught the last ship back to the island.

The setting sun pressed heavily on the sea, and the shimmering waves spread across the sky and the earth like scattered gold. The stern of the boat left a long white trail in the water, bringing them to the familiar dock.

As soon as they reached the alley entrance, Su Li shouted at the top of her lungs, "Mom, we're back!"

Hearing the noise, Lin Zhilan quickly came out of the house.

"Mom!" Su Li rushed over like a little cannonball and hugged her waist.

Linlin ran over and hugged Lin Zhilan's other arm, pressing her two little faces against her body, rubbing against her affectionately.

Lin Zhilan was held tightly by the two children, unable to move. She touched Linlin's face with her left hand and pinched Su Li's arm with her right, asking repeatedly, "Was Zhouxin County fun? Did you eat well?"

Lin Zhilan wanted to say "You've lost weight" like the older generation, but looking at Su Li's rounder face, she couldn't bring herself to ask.

Linlin is currently in the growth spurt stage. Although she hasn't gained weight, she has a rosy complexion, bright eyes, and looks very energetic.

The two little ones chattered incessantly around Lin Zhilan, as if trying to make up for all the things they hadn't said in the past few days.

After finally calming the two children down, Lin Zhilan's gaze fell on Jiang Chengzhou, who was striding over.

After not seeing her for more than a month, Lin Zhilan looked at her eldest nephew and was momentarily dazed, as if she were seeing Su Lang, a young man who had walked out of the old days.

"Auntie!" Jiang Chengzhou grinned and hugged her. "Don't you recognize me?"

"Hmm, I really didn't recognize him at first," Lin Zhilan said with a smile. "I was just wondering, where did this handsome young man come from? He's so good-looking!"

Jiang Chengzhou's ears turned slightly red from the praise, and he coughed lightly, covering his mouth with his right fist.

Su Lang also liked to do this.

Looking at them from this angle, the uncle and nephew look even more alike.

"We're having barbecue tonight. I'll have your uncle set up the grill. There's some water that's been sitting in the sun in the yard all day, so you guys should take a shower and enjoy your meal."

In the sweltering summer heat, the children could only wipe their hands and feet with water on the train, and they couldn't stand it any longer.

Su Lang set up a curtain in the courtyard for the boys so they could bathe directly there.

Lin Zhilan took her daughter into the bathroom.

Linlin sat on a small wooden stool, obediently tilting her head back as her mother washed her hair.

Lin Zhilan massaged her head and pressed acupoints on her head, and Linlin comfortably squinted her eyes.

After washing her daughter's hair, Lin Zhilan's clothes were also wet.

Linlin patted the bathtub, "Mom, come in too. It's been so long since you've taken a bath with me."

When Linlin was younger, the mother and daughter often washed their hair and took baths together.

Lin Zhilan had no choice but to take a shower since her clothes were already wet.

The bathroom was filled with steam. Linlin looked at her mother, her cheeks flushed, and asked, "Is Mommy a fairy?"

Lin Zhilan gently pinched her cheek, "Our baby is the real fairy."

Linlin shook her head. "Mom is the most beautiful person in the world. My mom is the most beautiful person in the world."

Lin Zhilan picked up a towel to wipe her back and couldn't help but laugh, "You've become so sweet-talking since you went out."

Linlin, enjoying her mother's love, suddenly remembered something and asked, "Mom, do you know Zhou Yue?"

Lin Zhilan paused in rubbing Zhou Yue's back, then resumed her movements, asking in a normal tone, "Zhou Yue? A new friend you met in Zhouxin County?"

Linlin shook her head. "No, but she seemed to know me. She called me Zhou Lin as soon as we met, and she even knew your and my brother's names."

She paused, then added, "She also knows Gu Zhiyuan, a classmate of ours."

"What did you say?"

"I didn't say anything to her, but my brother talked to her for a long time without telling me."

Lin Zhilan stopped moving, looked down at the whorl of hair on her daughter's head, and countless thoughts surged through her mind.

Water droplets fell from her hand, splashing up tiny water droplets.

Lin Zhilan suddenly remembered the second phone call Jiang Chengzhou made that day, which must be related to this Zhou Yue.

"Mom?" Linlin felt the hand behind her stop moving, turned around to look at her, her eyes filled with confusion.

Lin Zhilan cursed the heavens in her heart, and helped her daughter turn her head away, saying, "It's okay, Mom just suddenly remembered who Zhou Yue is."

"Hmm?" Linlin turned around curiously.

Lin Zhilan then recounted the story of Zhou Jianjun and Song Fang, and also told her daughter about the feud between the two families.

"These are things that happened to the previous generation and have nothing to do with you. You two will not have any contact in the future, so baby, you don't need to take this to heart."

Linlin seemed to be deep in thought, closed her eyes, and looked obediently at her mother's mercy.

Looking at her fair face and long, curled eyelashes, Lin Zhilan's turbulent emotions gradually calmed down.
