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

Wang Xiuzhi only half understood, and opened her mouth, "So we're just going to ignore him? Let him do whatever he wants?"

Lin Zhilan laughed and said, "You want to manage things, but you can't. So don't make things difficult for yourself or the child."

Wang Xiuzhi pondered for a moment, then said, "Okay, I'll listen to you. I won't mention this matter when Liang Ping comes back next time."

Lin Zhilan smiled and praised her, saying that she was an enlightened mother.

Having been neighbors for so many years, Wang Xiuzhi still felt a little uncomfortable with Lin Zhilan's straightforward praise.

She sat for a while, then made an excuse to go back.

At 6:30, Su Lang turned on the radio, and the Central People's Broadcasting Station was broadcasting the news.

Without the children's chatter, the couple brewed a pot of tea and sat in the courtyard, drinking it alone.

A steady male voice came from the radio, with the distinctive tone of a news reporter.

"Xinhua News Agency, August 21: The State Council approved the Ministry of Education's 'Opinions on the 1977 College Enrollment Work,' which will bring about a major reform to the college entrance examination system, and will reinstate the college entrance examination system effective immediately..."

The broadcast continued, and Su Lang and Lin Zhilan both held their breath.

"Zhilan..."

Lin Zhilan's eyes widened. "I heard it."

Even though she already knew that the college entrance examination would be restarted, she finally felt relieved when she heard the official announcement.

Su Lang stood up and paced a few steps. "The policy won't be implemented for just one year. Chengzhou is lucky; he'll finish two years of high school next year and be ready for the second college entrance examination."

Lin Zhilan gently pushed him, "Don't just be happy. Go to Commander Qin's house and ask if we should also urge the propaganda department to spread the news as soon as possible so that those who intend to take the exam can prepare in advance."

As mentioned on the radio, the first National College Entrance Examination (Gaokao) will be held this winter, and you only have a few months left.

Su Lang nodded in agreement and went out to run the errand.

The radio had already switched to the next news item, and Lin Zhilan was pondering how to tell Jiang Chengzhou this joyous news when footsteps sounded outside the door.

Jiang Chengzhou pushed open the door and walked in.

Aunt.

"Chengzhou."

They both spoke at the same time, "I have something to tell you."

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhilan assumed he had already heard the news outside, and her eyebrows curved into a smile. "Then let's talk about it together."

"The college entrance examination has been reinstated."

"Lili is dating someone."

"what?"

"what?"

Both of them wondered if there was something wrong with their ears.

Lin Zhilan blinked, paused for two seconds, and said, "The news just now said that universities have resumed enrollment, and the college entrance examination will be held in December."

"Really?" Jiang Chengzhou was overjoyed.

Su Lang is a college student.

Chengzhou has always looked up to his uncle Su Lang as a role model. Although he had already planned his future, being able to take the college entrance exam now gives him more options.

"Of course it's true," Lin Zhilan said with a smile. "You can read it yourself when the postman brings the newspaper tomorrow."

"However," Lin Zhilan changed the subject, "what's the situation with Lili dating? How old is he? Just a little kid."

Just now, Wang Xiuzhi was complaining to her that Liang Ping was unwilling to go on blind dates, but now her son, who is only in first grade, is already dating.

Lin Zhilan covered her face, feeling utterly bewildered.

Jiang Chengzhou chuckled and recounted the whole story.

Jiang Chengzhou had already sensed something was wrong when Su Li had been saving money and hoarding cash.

But then I thought about it again, and he had done the same thing when he was a kid.

He didn't tell anyone at the time that he was saving money to buy a camera for his aunt.

So Jiang Chengzhou subconsciously assumed that Su Li had become more sensible this time and probably wanted to save money to buy a gift for her family.

Just now, he took his younger siblings to deliver bracelets to various households, and Su Li disappeared as soon as he turned around.

Linlin grabbed her older sister Shen Man, and the two had endless things to talk about.

Jiang Chengzhou entrusted his younger sister to Shen Man for help, and secretly followed Su Li after her.

Su Li walked to a small courtyard with bougainvillea planted at the entrance, leaned against the door frame, and called out inside.

Not long after, a little girl with two braids ran out.

"Su Li, you're back."

"Yes, have you missed me?"

"I've been thinking about it, why did you take so long to go on this trip?"

"Hey, keep my brother and sister company." Su Li took out a bracelet made of Job's tears from his pocket and handed it to the little girl. "This is for you. When you grow up, remember to marry me."

The little girl took it and said, "Okay."

Su Li nodded in satisfaction, "It's a deal. You wait, I'll come find you again tomorrow, and I'll treat you to milk popsicles."

"good!"

Jiang Chengzhou leaned against the wall, completely bewildered.

Who taught Su Li all of this?!

After listening to what Jiang Chengzhou said, Lin Zhilan's head was buzzing with pain.

Just then, Su Lang returned. Lin Zhilan glared at him and stormed into the house.

Su Lang looked at Jiang Chengzhou, puzzled, "Did you make your aunt angry?"

"..." Jiang Chengzhou was speechless. "Your son caused this."

"My son?" Su Lang exclaimed in realization. "What trouble has Su Li gotten into this time?"

Jiang Chengzhou suppressed a laugh, "He's in a relationship."

Su Lang: "..."

Lin Zhilan had already changed her clothes and came out, carrying a box of pastries in her hand. She glanced at Su Lang in the yard with a sullen expression and said, "Alright, let's go and clean up the mess your son made."

Su Lang touched his nose and obediently followed his wife out the door.

Jiang Chengzhou led the way.

After walking for more than ten minutes, turning several corners, they stopped in front of a courtyard house.

Su Lang pointed to the courtyard gate and asked, "This one?"

Jiang Chengzhou nodded.

"It's over," Su Lang said with a subtle expression. "Zhilan, this is the home of Political Commissar Zhuang's youngest son."

Lin Zhilan paused for a moment, then turned to look at him.

Su Lang continued, "Commissar Zhuang has four sons and nine grandsons, but his youngest son only has one daughter. She's the apple of the family's eye, and Su Li's legs are probably going to be broken."

In the years since Lin Zhilan came to the island, apart from the first few years when she treated Su Lang's subordinates to a few meals.

Later, she got busy with work, and Su Lang was also transferred to Goose City. She really didn't know much about the interpersonal relationships in the family compound.

Hearing Su Lang say this, Lin Zhilan felt utterly hopeless.

Jiang Chengzhou also felt a chill run down his spine. "Uncle, what's Grandpa Zhuang's youngest son's name?"

"Zhuang Yi".

"..." Jiang Chengzhou smiled wryly, "Auntie, Zhuang Yi is my current homeroom teacher."

Lin Zhilan: "..."

Su Lang: "..."

Just then, the courtyard gate was pulled open from the inside.

A man in a white shirt and glasses stood inside the doorway, holding an enamel mug. He paused for a moment upon seeing the three people standing there, then fixed his gaze on Jiang Chengzhou. "Jiang Chengzhou, what are you doing here?"

"teacher……"

Lin Zhilan took a deep breath and faced the challenge head-on. "Hello, Teacher Zhuang, I am Jiang Chengzhou's aunt, and this is his uncle."
