Jiang Chengzhou wanted to say that he hadn't lied.
My aunt said the same thing as my uncle: she was a fairy.
More than a decade has passed, and my aunt still looks the same as before. Time seems to have been exceptionally kind to her, not diminishing her beauty at all.
Linlin is also beautiful, but she doesn't have the unique charm that her aunt has; that charm is something that time has bestowed upon Lin Zhilan.
After finishing her meal, Lin Zhilan glanced at her watch. "How many days off do you have? How many days can you stay home?"
"Return to the team tomorrow afternoon."
Lin Zhilan blinked, quickly suppressing her reluctance. "Is there anything you want to eat? Your aunt will make it for you."
Jiang Chengzhou thought for a moment, "Anyway, it shouldn't be anything from the water like fish, shrimp, or crabs."
I've really gotten sick of eating all this seafood over the past few years.
"Okay," Lin Zhilan stood up. "The waterway to the outside is open now. I'll go to the supply and marketing cooperative and see if there's anything new."
Jiang Chengzhou wanted to go with her, but Lin Zhilan refused, saying, "You stay at home; your uncle will be waking up soon."
Lin Zhilan misses her child, and she knows her husband misses her child too, but he just doesn't say it.
She changed her shoes, walked to the door, then came back and said to Jiang Chengzhou, "Don't teach Su Li to do her homework anymore. She's finally home for two days, let's make some happy memories."
Teaching Su Li to do her homework can be incredibly frustrating.
Linlin has a good temper, but she has been made to cry several times.
I was so annoyed by my brother's stupidity that I cried.
A family full of smart people, and only one of them is Su Li. If a smart person teaches a fool, it will only drive the smart person crazy.
Jiang Chengzhou glanced at his younger brother and smiled in agreement.
Lin Zhilan really understood Su Lang; Su Lang got up shortly after she left.
The first question he asked was about Jiang Chengzhou.
Where is your aunt?
Jiang Chengzhou hadn't been home for several years, but it felt as if he had never left.
My aunt is still that somewhat individualistic parent, and my uncle is still that man whose first priority is always my aunt.
Of course, he knew things were different now.
Once a person reaches adulthood, time becomes a little more generous and doesn't make them grow old so quickly.
But the changes in Linlin and Suli are too great, a reminder of the passage of time for adults.
Jiang Chengzhou smiled smugly, "My aunt went to buy me some food."
Su Lang raised an eyebrow but didn't retort.
Jiang Chengzhou still felt sorry for his uncle, so he brought out his breakfast as well.
Su Lang was eating when Su Li came over.
"What's wrong with you now?"
Su Li chuckled and pushed the workbook over, "I don't know how to do this problem."
Su Lang said in a low voice, "Go ask your brother."
Jiang Chengzhou, with his sharp ears, immediately glanced over. "Don't ask me. My aunt said I can't do dirty or strenuous work."
Su Lang choked for a moment, then explained the problem to her son.
We had a big dinner that evening, and afterwards the family enjoyed the cool air in the yard as usual.
Su Lang still asked Jiang Chengzhou about the future arrangements.
Jiang Chengzhou said that the mission has come to a temporary end, and he still needs to return to the capital for further studies for a period of time. He will follow the arrangements made by the military and the school.
Lin Zhilan breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.
Perhaps the families of soldiers are the ones who most desire world peace and an end to war.
Linlin will be taking the college entrance exam next year, and Jiang Chengzhou is also concerned about which school his younger sister wants to apply to.
Linlin's goal has always been clear: Capital Aviation Academy.
This is my country's first dedicated aerospace university, directly under the Ministry of Aviation Industry and the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense. Its laboratory wind tunnel and aircraft experimental equipment are unique in the country.
The cutoff score is extremely high, and the political background check and physical examination are both very strict.
But when Linlin said she wanted to take the exam, her family had no doubts about whether she could succeed.
The girl is smart and hardworking, and her grades will not disappoint her.
The next day, ordinary ships were able to pass through the island normally. Yan Yuan and his children, who had been waiting in Guangzhou for several days after hearing the news of the typhoon, were finally able to take a boat back.
They naturally went home first.
Hearing that Jiang Chengzhou had returned, a group of people gathered at Lin Zhilan's house again.
A group of people who hadn't seen each other for a long time chatted and laughed, having endless things to talk about.
When Lin Zhilan heard from Su Lang that Jiang Chengzhou liked Shen Man, she didn't interfere, but she was a little gossipy.
I often keep track of their activities.
However, today she began to doubt Su Lang's statement.
Jiang Chengzhou never showed any difference towards Shen Man from beginning to end, and Shen Man interacted with him naturally, just like with everyone else.
After everyone left, Lin Zhilan asked Jiang Chengzhou, "I heard that before you were transferred from the school, you went to see Shen Man and gave her a bag of plums?"
Jiang Chengzhou recalled for a moment, "It seems like that happened."
Lin Zhilan probed, "Then why did you only send it to her? Why not to Xiaoyuan and Xiaoxuan?"
Jiang Chengzhou scratched his head. "Maybe I forgot. I don't remember."
"Damn Su Lang," Lin Zhilan cursed under her breath, then laughed, "It's alright, go chop the meat, I'll make you a few more bottles of sauce to take with you."
Jiang Chengzhou raised an eyebrow, and as soon as she turned around, he patted his chest.
How could I not remember?
He went to deliver plums to Shen Man back then, saying that he had bought too many and couldn't finish them, so he was giving them to her.
Shen Man didn't think much of it and replied with a folk proverb.
"Peaches nourish, apricots harm, and the plum tree buries the dead."
I told him to eat fewer plums.
Jiang Chengzhou was depressed about this for several months, but then he thought Shen Man was quite nice.
It might not sound like something a good person would say, but Jiang Chengzhou likes Shen Man. However, he has no intention of being in a relationship with her; he simply likes her and doesn't want Shen Man to know.
He didn't tell anyone.
Even in his most righteous moments, he would think to himself that the noblest emotion is not possession, but protection.
While Shen Man was completely unaware of what was happening, Jiang Chengzhou had already written a multi-million-word tragic love story for himself in his mind.
He didn't dare tell his aunt, feeling like a pervert.
Jiang Chengzhou stayed at home for two days before heading back to school.
Before leaving, he said goodbye to his uncle, aunt, and sister. When it was Su Li's turn, Su Li hugged him and whispered in his ear, "Brother, you're finally gone. Dad, Mom, and my sister are all mine now."
During the two days Jiang Chengzhou was there, Linlin became his little shadow, following him everywhere she went.
Lin Zhilan and Su Lang also focused all their attention on him, showing him great care and obedience.
Su Li had never been treated like this before.
I'm a little jealous.
After hearing his words, Jiang Chengzhou put his arm around his younger brother's shoulder, his mouth practically stretched to his ears in a grin, and said, "You're jealous of me?"
"No way!" Su Li stubbornly insisted for a couple of seconds, then weakly added, "Even if I'm a little jealous, you're leaving soon anyway, so I'm not afraid."
"Hahahahaha..."
Jiang Chengzhou couldn't help but burst into laughter.
He's actually a bit petty and immature.
Li Xuan once said he was jealous of his aunt's unborn child, and now he dares to admit it. Even now, he likes his younger brother Su Li, but he doesn't deny that he still has a tiny bit of jealousy towards Su Li.
Now that Su Li is jealous of him, Jiang Chengzhou feels that they're even, and Su Li seems a little more pleasing to the eye.
