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

Zhuang Nuo parted her lips slightly, but did not utter a sound.

"I can come, but I can't have dinner in your room tomorrow, it would be impolite of me."

Just as Meng Lan was about to speak, Zhuang Yi gently pulled her wrist and shook his head at his wife.

Zhuang Nuo stared at him for a long time, then nodded slightly.

The next morning, there was a knock on the Zhuang family's door.

Meng Lan went to open the door.

"Good morning, Auntie. Have you eaten yet?"

Su Li was holding a large cardboard box in front of him and grinned.

"I've already eaten, have you eaten yet?" Meng Lan asked as she went to help take the boxes.

Su Li stepped aside to avoid it, "It's a bit heavy, I can do it."

Zhuang Yi came out of the kitchen. "Lili's here? Have you had breakfast?"

"I've already eaten, Uncle," Su Li put down the cardboard box. "You guys go about your business. I'll stay with Nuonuo today."

Zhuang Yi was pleasantly surprised to feel Su Li's familiar and outgoing personality, which he hadn't experienced in a long time.

It's summer vacation now. Although he attends night school, he also works day classes.

Meng Lan is the head nurse and works three shifts.

They have already arranged shifts with all their colleagues to ensure that either the couple is home with their child, whether it's day or night.

Today it just so happens that it's Zhuang Yi's turn to stay home with the children during the day.

"I won't bother you, I'll just stay home and cook for you."

Meng Lan interrupted, "Your uncle will leave after he finishes cooking for you. You and Nuonuo can have fun at home."

Zhuang Yi paused for a moment, then said, "Alright, fine."

Su Li didn't care about any of that. He picked up the cardboard box and said, "Uncle and Auntie, I'm going to find Nuonuo now."

"Go ahead, go ahead."

Meng Lan nodded with a smile, her eyes full of eagerness.

Su Li walked to Zhuang Nuo's room door, but couldn't free her hand to knock, so she called out, "Zhuang Nuo, I'm here. Are you dressed? I'm opening the door."

Zhuang Yi, sitting in the living room, twitched his lips, feeling a bit of a headache.

That kid, if only he could change his mouth someday, he'd be perfect.

Su Li, carrying the box, turned the doorknob and used her shoulder to push the door open.

Zhuang Nuo didn't lie in bed today, but sat at his desk.

When she saw Su Li carrying such a large box in, her eyes flickered slightly.

"Look what gift I brought you."

Su Li opened the box and poured out a large pile of parts, along with a blueprint.

"Model of Country A's F-14 fighter jet!"

Zhuang Nuo didn't understand any of this and looked at the pile of things with curiosity.

Su Li was excitedly talking to herself, "This is a rare item, you can't even buy it outside, my sister asked someone to bring it back from abroad."

Zhuang Nuo nodded silently.

Su Li sat down on the ground, spread out the blueprints, and without trying to find a topic to make him talk, she started assembling the model directly.

Zhuang Nuo sat in the chair, looking down at his focused expression.

She barely slept a wink last night, tossing and turning, both hoping that Su Li would come and fearing that Su Li would actually come.

Zhuang Nuo knew something was wrong with him.

Since she dropped out of school, her parents, grandparents, maternal grandparents... have taken turns helping her.

They treat themselves like porcelain dolls, even their words are spoken with extreme caution.

But she just couldn't muster the energy. The better they treated her, the heavier the burden on Zhuang Nuo's heart became. She always felt sorry for her family and that she had dragged them down.

But Su Li...

Su Li didn't seem to treat her like a patient at all, and this feeling made Zhuang Nuo feel a little lighter.

"Zhuang Nuo, do you have a screwdriver at home? The smallest Phillips head kind, could you find one for me?"

Su Li spoke as if it were the most natural thing in the world, without even uttering a single word of "please".

Zhuang Nuo let out a soft "Ah," stood up, and walked outside.

Zhuang Yi was chopping vegetables in the kitchen when he heard footsteps and turned around. He saw his daughter standing in the kitchen doorway, and his eyes lit up. He asked softly, "What's wrong, Nuonuo?"

Zhuang Nuo hesitated for a moment, then whispered, "Dad, the screwdriver..."

"You need a screwdriver, right? We have one at home, Dad will help you find one."

He put down the knife, wiped his hands on his apron, rummaged through the cabinet, took out his toolbox, found a screwdriver, and handed it to Zhuang Nuo.

Zhuang Nuo accepted it, said thank you, and turned to go back to her room.

Su Li took it and continued assembling the model.

Zhuang Nuo squatted down next to him, staring blankly at his movements.

Su Li glanced at her sideways and laughed, "Aren't you tired of squatting? Like me, you can sit on the ground."

Zhuang Nuo did as he was told.

She's so obedient, Su Li feels embarrassed to bully her.

Su Li was playing, and Zhuang Nuo watched him play. The two of them spent the morning quietly like this.

Finally, the model was assembled. Su Li stood up and stretched, while Zhuang Nuo gently stroked the assembled model with his fingers, not daring to exert any force.

Su Li held out a hand to her, "This plane is yours from now on. You can look at it for as long as you want. Get up first, I'll take you to eat."

Zhuang Nuo stared at his hand for a few seconds, then slowly placed her own hand on top of his.

Su Li tightened his grip and firmly pulled her up.

He placed the model on her bookshelf, stepped back a few paces to examine it, and said, "Alright, it fits perfectly here."

He naturally took Zhuang Nuo's hand and led her out of the room.

Zhuang Nuo looked down at their clasped hands and blinked slowly.

The living room was quiet; Zhuang Yi had already left.

Food was covered under a lid on the dining table: a plate of stir-fried green peppers and pork, and a bowl of tomato and egg drop soup, all still steaming.

Su Li didn't plan to eat at home with Zhuang Nuo. "Do you have any lunchboxes? I'd like two."

Zhuang Nuo didn't ask why, and went to the kitchen to find two aluminum lunch boxes for Su Li.

Su Li put the food in and put the lid on.

He found a bag to put the contents in, then used his other hand to take Zhuang Nuo's hand again. "Come on, I'll take you to eat something delicious today."

Zhuang Nuo was pulled out the door in a daze, without even having time to feel panicked or conflicted.

The bicycle crossed two streets, turned into a tree-lined avenue, and finally stopped at the Sixth Academy of Aviation.

There are also armed police sentries at the entrance of the research institute.

Su Li parked the car and led Zhuang Nuo to the gatehouse.

"Little Su is here again, bringing food to Engineer Lin again?" The gatekeeper greeted him with a smile, already remembering him.

"Yes," Su Li said with a smile, "Could you please inform my sister to come out and get the food?"

"Okay, wait."

This is a classified unit. Going in requires registering a lot of information, which is very troublesome. Usually, I have her sister come out to get it.

A moment later, Linlin came out from inside.

"Nono, hello there."

Linlin is even more beautiful than before, and she has an intellectual and elegant temperament that is very charming.

Zhuang Nuo was a little nervous and hid behind Su Li.

Su Li handed the lunchbox to Linlin and said casually, "Sis, don't scare her. She's more timid than an ant."

Linlin rolled her eyes at him, took out 100 yuan from her pocket, and said, "I'm busy. When you take Nuonuo out to play, be sure to pay attention to safety."

"Okay."

Linlin waved to Zhuang Nuo and went back to her office.

Su Li waved the hundred-yuan bill in front of Zhuang Nuo, "Impressive, isn't it? A bowl of rice for a hundred yuan."
