Her foolish son only listens to his wife, and his wife only listens to Dr. Lin, so Aunt Hehua called Lin Zhilan.

Lin Zhilan comforted the old lady with a few words, explaining that the nanny was different from the previous maids.

There is no longer a landlord-slave relationship, but an equal employment relationship. Nannies earn money through their labor, which is recognized by the authorities.

Li Jiang told his mother many times, but Aunt Hehua didn't believe him.

After Lin Zhilan explained it to them, she was completely convinced.

Back home, Wang Rou was eating steamed buns made by the nanny when her mother-in-law called. She quickly helped her to the dining table, handed her a bun, and asked with a smile, "So? What did my sister Lin say?"

Aunt Lotus snorted, took a bite of the soft steamed bun, and said, "What else can she do? She only knows how to side with you, doesn't she?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Rou smiled smugly.

Su Li's scream interrupted Lin Zhilan's thoughts.

The ship has arrived.

In the distance, the flow of people at the ferry dock slowly surged. Jiang Chengzhou accompanied Lin Lin and Shen Man as they walked off the boat side by side with the crowd.

Linlin spotted her parents waiting at the dock at a glance. The longing she had been holding back for months surged up instantly. She rushed forward and buried her face in Lin Zhilan's arms.

Lin Zhilan's heart melted instantly, and she quickly hugged her.

Linlin clung to her mother, her eyes reddening.

Su Lang went around behind the mother and daughter and asked anxiously, "What's wrong? Why are you crying? Did you suffer some injustice in the capital?"

Linlin looked at her father with teary eyes, "No, I just miss you all so much."

Su Lang felt a pang of heartache. Her daughter was growing up, and she couldn't be too intimate with her, so she circled around her and gently comforted her.

Jiang Chengzhou stood behind, looking helpless.

Su Li looked up to comfort him, "Brother, don't be jealous, you'll get used to it."

Jiang Chengzhou found it amusing and pinched his cheek. "Aren't you jealous?"

Su Li gave her a "who are you looking down on?" look. "Heh, how old do you think I am? I'll be an adult in a few years."

Jiang Chengzhou burst into laughter, and Su Li also grinned foolishly.

Not far away, Shen Man was also talking with her parents whom she had not seen for a long time.

The two families greeted each other and prepared to go home.

Kong Baozhu's heart and eyes were filled with her daughter, and she only inadvertently caught a glimpse of Linlin crying in Dr. Lin's arms.

She suddenly seemed lost in thought.

Without prior comparison, Kong Baozhu suddenly realized that it seemed that since she recovered and regained consciousness, her Manman had never cried in front of her.

A sudden, inexplicable panic and bitterness welled up inside her. She gripped Shen Changshan's sleeve tightly. "Changshan, why isn't Manman crying?"

Shen Changshan was taken aback, then gave a wry smile.

Because of the family's misfortunes when she was young, my daughter has always been very sensible and strong. She has never caused them any worry about her studies and is very independent in her life.

As parents, they also hoped their daughter could grow up carefree, but it's impossible for parents to do that. Now... it seems their daughter doesn't need it anymore.

Shen Man suddenly turned around and asked in confusion, "Mom and Dad, why aren't you leaving?"

"Oh, okay, it's here."

The two quickly caught up. Shen Changshan took all the luggage from his daughter's hands, and Kong Baozhu held her daughter's hand, talking about what delicious food she had made for her.

Aunt and uncle led Linlin ahead, with Jiang Chengzhou following behind. He glanced in Shen Man's direction and a smile appeared on his lips.

No one noticed this scene...

Except for Su Li.

"Brother, what are you looking at?"

Jiang Chengzhou put away his smile and tried to fool Su Li, saying, "I just saw a snake on the road."

Su Li gave a fake smile. "Oh."

"What do you mean?"

Su Li: "Brother, it's winter now, snakes are all hibernating, there aren't any snakes on the road."

Jiang Chengzhou raised an eyebrow. "Then I must have misread it."

Su Li: "Can someone with poor eyesight join the army?"

Jiang Chengzhou was silent for a moment, then said, "...You didn't get perfect scores on your final exams because all you learned in school was how to do bar exercises?"

Su Li: "..."

Adults are so annoying; when they can't win an argument, they poke at people's sore spots.

When they got home, hot water had already been prepared for them to take a bath.

After taking a shower, the two ate a bowl of noodles and were then ushered to their room to rest.

Several seashell wind chimes that Yan Yuan had given her were still hanging in Linlin's room. She thought of Yan Yuan as soon as she entered the room.

Hate!

Linlin went out again and pulled her mother, insisting that she sleep with her.

Lin Zhilan readily agreed, took off her coat, and lay down on the bed with her daughter.

"Mom," Linlin hugged Lin Zhilan's hand, "I have a secret, do you want to know?"

"In no mood."

Linlin froze, then hugged her waist tightly, crying, "Mommy~"

"Okay, okay," Lin Zhilan hugged her and said affectionately, "Mommy really wants to know our baby's secret."

"Hmm..." Linlin blushed, "I don't want to tell you anymore."

Lin Zhilan was so angry that she tickled her, and the mother and daughter laughed together on the bed.

Su Lang was setting up shelves for flowerpots in the yard when she heard laughter coming from inside the house, and a smile naturally crept onto her face.

Jiang Chengzhou was laughing to himself, but still teased his uncle, "A henpecked husband?"

There's an old saying in the south: "A lifetime of debt to children, half a lifetime of being a slave to one's wife."

This saying is actually used to ridicule men who are afraid of their wives.

However, Jiang Chengzhou didn't think it was a bad thing. Love is fluid, and fortunately, his uncle loves his aunt, and his aunt loves his uncle.

Having lived in the south for so many years, Su Lang had naturally heard this saying before. He raised an eyebrow, looked up at his eldest nephew, and said, "What kind of slaves are there in the new society? Your ideological awareness needs improvement. Hurry up, you two go and bring me a few planks!"

The three of them spent the afternoon working in the yard.

I finally got the flowerpots on the shelf.

Su Li was pulled by Jiang Chengzhou to wash her hands, and muttered to herself, "There are slaves in the new society too. I am my father's slave."

"What are you saying?" Su Lang's voice came from the other end.

Su Li's face instantly broke into a perfect eight-tooth smile. "I was saying, Daddy's awesome, you put on such a great act!"

Jiang Chengzhou was taken aback by Su Li's move.

"Su Li".

"Um?"

"Come to my room with me, I need to give you a political lesson."

That afternoon, Su Li emerged from Jiang Chengzhou's room looking radiant, full of energy, glowing with health and vitality...

If it weren't for the fact that I was too young, I would have joined the army that very night.

For the next two days, Linlin and Jiang Chengzhou became the darlings of the family, and also had the privilege of eating whatever they wanted.

Su Li became her older siblings' errand boy, and her smile grew brighter every day.

Since Linlin started school, Su Li has realized the advantages of having older brothers and sisters at home.

Lin Zhilan and Su Lang are both very busy with work. It's okay when Su Li is at school, but once she's on vacation, no one takes care of her.

Lin Zhilan wanted him to do his homework in the TCM department office, but Su Li couldn't sit still, and after a while, he ran away.

Now that his older brother and sister are home, Su Li is overjoyed even if they have to order him around.
