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

Fang Wenwen walked in from outside, carrying large and small bags, panting as she said, "Quickly, help me with these."

Lin Zijun snorted, but still stepped forward and took the things from her hands.

"Thank you." Fang Wenwen handed him a milk candy, then excitedly showed her face to Lin Zhilan.

"Dr. Lin, look at my face, it's completely healed!"

Fang Wenwen went back to her hometown during the Spring Festival and just returned today. She rushed over to share the good news.

She has undergone a complete transformation since last year.

Her previously thick bangs were tied up, revealing a cute round face.

The pimples and acne on my face have all disappeared, and my skin has become delicate and smooth. Although there are still a few acne marks that have not completely disappeared, you can't see them at all unless you look closely.

My skin has improved, and my overall condition has improved. I feel like I've become several years younger.

Lin Zhilan smiled and said, "Very good, it seems you have been consistent in applying the medicine."

"I haven't missed a single day." Fang Wenwen watched her face improve day by day, and now her whole demeanor was completely different.

She went on and on about how proud and triumphant she and her mother were during the Chinese New Year this year.

Even her former classmates were shocked when they saw her.

"Dr. Lin, these are all New Year's gifts that my mother asked me to give you."

Du Hongmei had questioned Lin Zhilan in person before, so she was too embarrassed to come over and could only ask Fang Wenwen to express her gratitude on her behalf.

Lin Zijun glanced at it briefly and remarked, "Such a generous gesture, Comrade Fang Wenwen, you're really extravagant."

Lin Zhilan glanced at them and saw that they were all rare items such as milk powder and honey.

"Wenwen, you paid your medical fees when you went to the doctor. Take all these things back; I won't accept them."

Lin Zijun: "Teacher, why aren't you accepting it?"

Lin Zhilan raised an eyebrow. "Xiao Lin, with your medical ethics, don't go out and say you learned it from me."

Lin Zijun chuckled and handed the things back to Fang Wenwen, saying, "My master doesn't want them."

Fang Wenwen clapped her hands, "I told you Dr. Lin wouldn't accept it, but my mom insisted I bring it. However, I prepared gifts for you, Linlin, and Chengzhou myself."

She took out a box of crayons and a thick stack of grid notebooks from the military green bag she was carrying.

What was given to Lin Zhilan was a complete set of silver needles.

Lin Zhilan's eyes lit up, and she carefully took out the silver needles to examine them.

She doesn't have her own silver needles yet; she's always been using Ye Congshan's.

There's only this one set of prescriptions in the entire Traditional Chinese Medicine department.

The technique of applying silver needles is highly skilled, and there are simply no artisans on the island who can make silver needles. Lin Zhilan is not someone who is easily swayed by needles.

"Wenwen, where did you get this?"

Fang Wenwen was overjoyed to see that she liked it. "My grandfather has an acquaintance who is in charge of the medicinal herb station. When I went to pay my New Year's visit to him, I asked him about it. I didn't expect that he actually had it."

Without saying a word, Lin Zhilan accepted the needle. "Wenwen, I'll take the crayons and notebook. How much is this needle? I'll pay you back."

"Dr. Lin," Fang Wenwen drew circles on the ground with her toes, "I don't want money, could you make me some more ointment? I'm almost out."

"Okay." Lin Zhilan agreed without hesitation.

"However, this ointment is different from the previous one; it's for whitening and nourishing the skin. Do you want it?"

"Yes!" Fang Wenwen was still a young lesbian, how could she not be tempted by such a thing?

Lin Zijun originally wanted to argue with her, but when he saw Yinzhen, his words softened.

"Comrade Fang Wenwen, is it possible to get these silver needles again?"

Fang Wenwen crossed her arms. "You know acupuncture?"

"I know a little bit," Lin Zijun said, feigning profundity.

"I won't do it for you, hehehe."

"You..."

The two clashed from the very beginning and argued for a long time before finally calming down.

After the argument was over, Fang Wenwen got down to business.

"Dr. Lin, school starts in a few days. Remember to have Jiang Chengzhou and Yan Yuan register."

"Okay, I understand."

Speaking of this, Fang Wenwen was a little worried. "It's the school's first year of enrollment. Starting tomorrow, I'll be going around with the principal to promote the school. I'm so afraid that not many people will come to school."

The school's enrollment is divided into two parts: one is for the children of military personnel residing in the family compound, and the other is for local children from the island.

Children of military personnel are generally well-off; they usually send their children to school. However, this is not necessarily the case for local residents of the island.

Children as young as Yan Yuan are already able to work at the beach to earn income for their families, and they see studying as a waste of time.

Lin Zijun is a local from the island, so he has experience with this. "If you want to persuade them to go to school, you have to let them know the benefits of education, otherwise they definitely won't go."

"Do we need to explain the benefits of reading?" Fang Wenwen asked, puzzled.

Fang Wenwen is clearly a child raised in a family where she has no worries about food and clothing, and she has no understanding of human suffering.

Lin Zijun shook his head and sighed, "Comrade Fang Wenwen, fishermen rely on fishing for a living. Will reading more books help them catch more fish when they go out to sea?"

Fang Wenwen: "I..."

She sighed, clearly understanding this principle as well.

Lin Zijun whispered, "If you help me persuade Teacher Lin to take on a disciple, how about I give you an idea?"

Fang Wenwen snorted, "The principal is the one who worries the most about student recruitment. I'm not worried, so I'm not going to speak up for you."

"I didn't provoke you, why did you ruin my plans?" Lin Zijun said unhappily.

Even Lin Zhilan and Ye Congshan looked over, curious as to why Fang Wenwen wouldn't let him become an apprentice.

Fang Wenwen blushed and said, "Dr. Lin is so young and has such good medical skills, but the TCM department is so small. What if the apprentice teaches the apprentice but the master starves? What should we do?"

"I..." Lin Zijun was speechless, he never expected it to be this reason.

Lin Zhilan laughed too, "Teacher Fang, do you teach only half the material and leave the other half untaught?"

"Of course not."

Lin Zhilan chuckled, "Aren't you afraid that teaching the students will lead to the teachers starving?"

Traditional Chinese medicine is profound and extensive, and Lin Zhilan herself is still learning. She is not someone who keeps her knowledge to herself; on the contrary, she hopes to see more people learn and study traditional Chinese medicine.

Fang Wenwen pursed her lips, realizing that she had spoken without thinking again.

Lin Zijun chuckled: "Master, does this mean you're accepting me as your disciple?"

Since she was treating him like a student anyway, Lin Zhilan simply went along with it, "I'll take it, but I won't take the bicycle."

Su Lang was a military officer, and Lin Zhilan was very cautious about giving and receiving gifts.

Lin Zijun: "That won't do. The bicycle is a gift from me to you."

Filial piety...

Lin Zhilan sighed, "How about this, I was planning to buy a bicycle anyway. You can transfer this one to me, and I'll give you the bicycle ticket and the money. This will save me a hassle, and consider it a token of my respect, okay?"

Su Lang's two sisters-in-law sent her the same bicycle tickets, and she was thinking of buying one.

Seeing that she was adamant about not accepting it, Lin Zijun had no choice but to agree.

Fang Wenwen said, "Congratulations on successfully becoming an apprentice. Dr. Lin, could you please give me some pointers on how to recruit students?"
