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

So after raising her own child, Lin Zhilan wanted to give her child what she had never had.

Jiang Chengzhou loves playing basketball, so he is the first child on the island to own his own basketball.

When Linlin was little, she practiced calligraphy with her grandmother and learned painting from Wang Rou. Later, she also learned to play the violin.

Su Li, too, has been learning the trumpet.

Lin Zhilan and Su Lang wanted him to try other things, but he was very opinionated and only wanted to learn how to play the trumpet; he didn't want anything else.

Seeing Linlin and Yaoyao painting together, Lin Zhilan felt as if she was healing her own past lack.

Su Lang kept an eye on Su Li while shielding his wife from the sun.

Su Li was already tanned dark, so he didn't care about getting tanned and stayed by the boat.

Because he rushed to pull the line up early several times, he ended up with an empty hook each time.

This time he learned his lesson and waited a little longer.

No one had any hope, but the silver thread moved.

Su Li thought she had misjudged again, so she placed her hand on the silver thread and waited to see what would happen.

Suddenly, the silver thread in his hand taut and trembled violently.

"Dad, the fish are here!"

Su Li grinned and pulled hard forward.

Hearing this, the others quickly followed.

Su Lang grabbed his clothes to prevent him from being dragged down by the fish. "Do you need help?"

"don't want!"

Su Li refused without saying a word, and kept pulling back the fishing line with both hands.

Not far away, a silvery-white fish was forced to surface. It struggled but was still pulled forward.

"Come on up!"

Su Li suddenly lifted the fish, which was then flung onto the wooden board on the bed, where it was still thrashing violently.

Su Lang squatted down, picked it up, and removed the fishhook.

This is a yellow croaker with a large, laterally compressed head. Its dorsal and caudal fins are grayish-yellow, its pelvic and anal fins are yellow, and the rest of its body is silvery-white.

Su Lang weighed it in his hand a few times; it should weigh a little over two pounds.

At state-run aquatic product stations, large yellow croaker weighing over two pounds costs six cents per pound, so this one would cost more than a dollar.

"Lili, you have your fishing rod."

Su Li shook her head, "We'll eat this ourselves. I want to catch an even bigger one."

Once the bait was taken, Su Li immediately gained confidence.

Then a few more small eels came up, but they were too small. Su Li already knew the "rules," so he unhooked the fish and threw the small eels back into the sea. "Go back now. Remember to eat fatter next time."

Everyone else laughed.

Su Yao looked at her younger cousin and quickly drew a simple sketch on a piece of paper.

Next, he caught another ribbonfish. Su Lang checked the time and realized it was almost time to haul in the net, otherwise it would be dark by the time he got back.

Su Li was still somewhat unsatisfied, but Lin Zhilan promised to take him out to sea at least once a month before he stopped.

Having found the buoy, Su Lang bent down and reached out to pull it.

Pulling the net was hard work, and Su Li stood at the front, pulling the net up with all his might.

Su Lang only used half his strength so that he wouldn't be too strained.

Halfway through the net, the prawns finally started to appear, and they were quite big. Su Li became even more excited and quickly pulled the net up.

I posted a lot of pictures of prawns and crabs online.

Linlin and Suyao came over to help, taking them down from the net and putting them into the bucket.

There were more than ten prawns, three swimming crabs, and some other miscellaneous small seafood items.

Everyone is already very happy with these results.

Next, we need to rush back to the dock.

It was already past 4 p.m., and the sun was no longer so scorching.

A gentle sea breeze blew, and seabirds circled in the air. Su Li tossed a small fish up to the seabird, which immediately snatched it.

Su Li freed one hand and gave it a thumbs up.

Su Yao kept working with her hands and had already drawn several simple sketches.

Linlin leaned closer to take a look. "Sister Yaoyao, are you drawing Su Li?"

"Draw me? I want to see it too!"

Su Li wiped her hands and walked over quickly.

Su Yao handed him a few simple line drawings.

In the painting, Su Li is squatting by the boat, holding the fishing line with her small hands, her body leaning slightly forward. Next to her is a small bamboo fishing basket, with a few small fish peeking out of the mouth of the basket. With just a few strokes of shadow, the painting has a vivid sense of movement.

Su Yao asked, "Have you read 'The Old Man and the Sea'?"

Su Li shook her head.

Su Yao smiled and said, "Lili, I'd like to use you as the model for a book called 'The Child and the Sea,' is that alright?"

Su Li's eyes lit up. "Okay! But... Sister Yao Yao, I don't have any money to give you."

Su Yao painted Li Li so lifelike that it differed from the photo, but some features were easily recognizable as Su Li's.

There was a camera at home, and Su Li knew it was a gift from his brother to his mother, but film was expensive, and he didn't know if Su Yao's paintings of him were expensive.

Su Yao laughed, "I don't need you to pay me. If I, your sister Yao Yao, make money, I'll give you half of it."

"No need, no need," Su Li waved her hand shyly, "Just make me look handsome."

Su Yao was amused by her cousin.

The children discussed it among themselves, and Lin Zhilan and Su Lang didn't interfere much.

When the ship arrived at the dock, Su Lang led his wife, daughter, and niece off the ship one by one. Only Su Li shook off his father's hand and jumped off the ship.

Su Lang chuckled and clicked his tongue.

Su Lang picked up the fish basket and went straight home.

"Dad," Su Li hesitated, "how about we sell this ribbonfish and get a new fishing rod?"

Su Lang smiled and said, "Don't you want to eat pan-fried ribbonfish anymore?"

"I do want one," Su Li sighed, "but right now I want a fishing rod more."

Lin Zhilan beckoned her son over, "Your dad's just teasing you. He made the fishing rod himself. Go to the bamboo grove and cut a small bamboo pole later so he can make it for you."

Su Li cheered, then calmed down, "Will my dad agree?"

Lin Zhilan taught him, "You caught the big yellow croaker and ribbonfish today. If he won't cook them for you, then don't give them to him."

Su Li turned around, made a face at his dad, and happily ran home.

Linlin and Su Yao had a wonderful time on the island.

I'm woken up by the reveille every day, have breakfast, and then do my homework with Su Li at home. At noon, we can play in the water in the yard, and in the evening, there's a super dreamy sunset at the beach.

Lin Zhilan and Su Lang are parents, but they don't treat them completely like children. They respect their thoughts and opinions, sometimes play with them, and even give them ideas to have fun.

They used to be children and couldn't do these things, but now Lin Zhilan encourages them to do them.

For example, going out to sea to go beachcombing, or going fishing with fishermen at night to set crab traps.

I also took them to the fishery port supply and marketing cooperative and the dock to set up stalls and sell seafood.

Su Yao stayed on the island for a month, and thanks to the beauty cream made by her aunt, she didn't get tanned at all.

Not only that, she also painted many, many paintings here and gained a lot of inspiration.

On the way back to the capital, Su Yao clung to Lin Zhilan and wouldn't let go. "Auntie, I want to come again next time. I'll bring my mom and my sister too, and Dad... he'll come too."
