Lin Haitang's house was at the back, while Lin Qiaoxia's was at the front, so the ox cart went to Lin Qiaoxia's house first.

The carriage stopped in front of Lin Qiaoxia's house, leaving long ruts.

On the way back, after entering the village, they met a lot of people. They pointed at Lin Haitang and Lin Qiaoxia. The ox cart was full, and Lin Haitang and Lin Qiaoxia were sitting in the pile of things.

The brother pulling the ox cart was kind-hearted and helped carry things down.

Lin Qiaoxia's daughter was home alone, as Li Erzhu had gone up the mountain to hunt again. Lin Qiaoxia's daughter was named Li Yatou, a name her grandmother had given her. When she was born, she was said to be a girl, so she called her "Yatou." Li Erzhu was a foolishly filial son, and Lin Qiaoxia had no recourse. At the time, she wasn't a particularly aggressive person, so she could only swallow her anger.

Lin Qiaoxia said to the girl, "Girl, call me auntie."

The girl was a little scared and hid behind her mother, saying timidly, "Auntie."

Yatou, Gu Mo, and Gu Zhilan used to be three poor little kids, often bullied by other children in the village. They huddled together for warmth and played together, but if their original self, Lin Haitang, saw them, they would be scolded. So Yatou is more afraid of Lin Haitang now. She thinks Lin Haitang looks different, gentler and more beautiful than before, but she still remembers the old look of Lin Haitang. It's too deeply rooted in her mind, and she is still afraid.

Lin Qiaoxia touched the girl's hair helplessly and lovingly: "This child is quite shy."

The girl wasn't very fair, but her big eyes were very lively, twinkling as if filled with stars. The more Lin Haitang looked at her, the more she liked her. She took the Ruyi cake, squatted down and said to the girl, "Come here, girl. Auntie will give you some cake. It's sweet."

The girl looked at the white pastries in Lin Haitang's hand, which exuded a sweet aroma that rushed straight into her nose. In the end, she could not resist the temptation of the pastries. She slowly walked in front of Lin Haitang, looked at her, wanting to take it but not daring to.

Lin Haitang took a piece and handed it to her mouth, smiling and said, "Girl, would you like to have a piece?"

The girl carefully took it in her hands, held it with both hands, looked at it with surprise, and tasted it carefully. As soon as she ate it, Lin Haitang felt her eyes lit up.

Lin Haitang said, "Auntie, can I give you the whole bag? Remember to give some to your parents, too."

"Oh, Haitang, you don't have to..." Lin Qiaoxia was interrupted before she finished speaking: "Sister Qiaoxia, look how much the children like to eat it, just take it. I bought it for Momo and Lanlan. Thanks to you for taking me shopping today, otherwise I wouldn't even be able to find the way."

Lin Haitang is a person with poor directionality and has never been able to tell the directions since she was a child. Although she can find the way by herself, it will definitely waste a lot of time and it will be impossible for her to come back so quickly. Lin Qiaoxia really helped Lin Haitang a lot.

After Lin Haitang said this, Lin Qiaoxia felt embarrassed to refuse.

Lin Haitang left the cloth for making clothes for the children, and also gave the cloth for making quilts to Lin Qiaoxia. Lin Haitang first gave a deposit of 100 wen and said that she would bring the two children over later to measure their sizes.

Lin Haitang got back on the ox cart and headed towards her home.

Lin Haitang moved the grains, flour, and seasonings to the kitchen. The rice and flour were too heavy for Lin Haitang to carry, so she asked the older brother who was pulling the ox cart to help.

Lin Haitang put the food into the house, folded the clothes in the closet, then picked up a bag of Ruyi cakes and went to the village chief's house to pick up the children.

When Lin Haitang arrived, Gu Mo and Gu Zhilan were playing with Xiaobai in the woodshed.

Xiaobai is very smart. It seems to know Gu Mo and Gu Zhilan. After eating and drinking, it keeps humming at them.

"Momo, Lanlan, let's go home."

"mother!"

The two children were very happy and came over to hug Lin Haitang's thighs.

Mrs. Duan smiled and said, "The two children are so well behaved today. I hope the baby in Jiahe's belly can be as well behaved as Momo and Lanlan."

Li Jing and Song Jiahe have been married for several years. Li Jing is older than Gu An and has never been able to get pregnant. She has been taking medicine for a long time. Now she is finally pregnant. The whole family is very happy, but they are also afraid that Song Jiahe will suffer.

Lin Haitang also smiled, "Okay, let Jiahe also give birth to twins, a boy and a girl."

When Duan heard this, she almost smiled from ear to ear: "That's great."

Lin Haitang handed over the cake in her hand: "Auntie, this is Ruyi cake, Jiahe must love it."

Duan slapped her thigh and said, "Look at you, girl, you're taking something again. Take it away. Jiahe doesn't like it!"

Duan looked at Lin Haitang angrily. She even said that Jiahe didn't like to eat. It was so cute.

Lin Haitang said, "Aunt! This is what I gave to my nephews and nieces. Why are you pushing it away? Jiahe is pregnant now and has no taste in her mouth. This Ruyi cake is sweet but not greasy, perfect for Jiahe. Hurry up and give it to Jiahe. I have more at home." Lin Haitang put the thing in her hand into Duan's hand, "Hurry up and take it, so I can take Momo and Lanlan back to eat. I'm not being polite to you, aunt."

When Duan was sending Lin Haitang out, she kept muttering to her, "You are too polite, girl. Don't bring anything next time, otherwise I will feel embarrassed. I didn't do anything wrong."

Lin Haitang finally brought Gu Mo and Gu Zhilan back home.

"Momo, Lanlan, look at what's on the table, go eat it."

Gu Mo and Gu Zhilan looked at the sesame cakes, buns and Ruyi cakes on the table, and their eyes lit up: "Wow——"

Lin Haitang patted the two little heads, one on each side: "Eat quickly, mom has already eaten."

Gu Mo took a sesame seed bun and Gu Zhilan took a meat bun. They took a bite of each and a light of "It's so delicious" flashed in their eyes. Then they fed their brother or sister a bite of their sesame seed bun or meat bun respectively. The two children enjoyed the meal very much.

Lin Haitang went to the kitchen and quickly made some egg drop soup. She boiled some water, added a little lard, poured the egg liquid in, added salt, and finally sprinkled in chopped green onions. She used a mixture of well water and spiritual spring water.

The fragrant egg soup is ready.

The two children had their mouths full of food residue. Lin Haitang brought in the egg soup and wiped the mouths of the two little cats.

As soon as Lin Haitang sat down, the two children each took a piece of Ruyi cake and put it to Lin Haitang's mouth.

Lin Haitang suddenly felt very comforted, and her physical fatigue was relieved a lot: "Momo and Lanlan are so sensible, can mother give them one each?"

After saying that, Lin Haitang took a bite from each of the two cakes. "Momo and Lanlan, eat yourselves. Mom has finished her meal and isn't hungry yet. If you want to eat, just get some, okay? After we finish eating, I'll take you to buy some."

"Okay, next time I want to go with mom," said Gu Mo.

"Yes, Lanlan wants to go too."

"Okay, next time mom will take you with her." Lin Haitang touched the two children's heads.

"After you finish eating, Mom will take you to Sister Yatou's house, okay? Let Aunt Qiaoxia take your measurements and make new clothes for you, okay?" Lin Haitang discussed with the two children.

The two children agreed obediently.

After the two children finished their afternoon tea, Lin Haitang cleaned up the things and was extremely tired. She felt as if she was about to fall apart. She let the two children play by themselves for a while and did not allow them to go out. Lin Haitang was worried, so she locked the door and gave them careful instructions again.

After everything was done, Lin Haitang was so tired that she couldn't open her eyes after lying down on the bed.

Lin Haitang slept for an hour.

Lin Haitang felt like she had a dream, which seemed to be a beautiful dream, but she couldn't remember it clearly. She seemed to dream about her home in the 21st century.

When Lin Haitang woke up, it was already Shenshi, which was around four in the afternoon. Lin Haitang simply washed up and took the two children to Lin Qiaoxia's house to measure their sizes.

The two children were very well behaved and had been playing the Nine Linked Rings game in Gu An's study. Gu An had brought one for each of them during the Chinese New Year.

Fortunately, this body has the original body's memory and muscle memory, otherwise Lin Haitang wouldn't even be able to comb her hair in the style of this dynasty.

The weather was still cold. After taking Gu Mo and Gu Zhilan to Lin Qiaoxia's house to measure their sizes, it was already getting dark. The sun was setting in the west, and the sky was filled with orange sunset glow. The red sun was hiding like a shy girl, and only her silhouette could be seen. The sky was already getting dark.

Lin Haitang walked home with Gu Mo and Gu Zhilan, heading west, where the sun was setting. The remaining light of the sunset fell on the three of them. The two children jumped and skipped, holding their mother's hands. Lin Haitang was smiling as she spoke to the two little people, but her eyes were fixed on the silhouette of the setting sun.

Lin Haitang didn't know what she was thinking.

Why am I here? It doesn't make sense.

Do I really have to stay here forever? A life without any family or friends?

What is my home in the twenty-first century?

What are the past twenty years of my life?

I can't find the meaning of coming here and staying here.

Finally arrived home.

It's already You hour.

Lin Haitang was not idle. She boiled water and cooked egg custard for the two children. She was still very tired and could not do anything too complicated. She had a lot of work to do today. In addition to cooking for Gu Mo and Gu Zhilan, she also had to bathe the two children and herself. So she had to boil a lot of water.

After the egg custard was steamed, Lin Haitang just took it out of the pot, and her stomach churned. Lin Haitang ran out and held onto the door frame, retching.

I didn't vomit anything, but it was definitely uncomfortable.

Lin Haitang didn't take it seriously, thinking that she was too tired today, so she just drank some water.

Lin Haitang was not hungry at all, nor did she really want to smell the smell of egg custard. While Gu Mo and Gu Zhilan were eating, Lin Haitang went to the kitchen to boil water. By the time the two children finished eating and Lin Haitang finished washing the dishes, the water had boiled.

In the past, the Gu family had some money, and Gu's mother loved her children, so she hired a carpenter to make a bathtub. After Gu Mo and Gu Zhilan were born, she also made a small bathtub for the children. This saved Lin Haitang a lot of trouble, otherwise bathing would have been difficult.

Lin Haitang bathed Gu Zhilan first. Gu Zhilan was very happy. The last time she took a bath was when Gu An was around. It was Gu An who asked Lin Haitang to bathe Gu Zhilan. It was Gu An who bathed Gu Mo.

Gu Zhilan was very well behaved and didn't make any noise when taking a bath. The mother and daughter finished the bath happily.

When waiting to wash Gu Mo, a funny thing happened. Gu Mo was shy and refused to let Lin Haitang take off his clothes, which made Lin Haitang laugh and cry.

Lin Haitang said, "Momo, turn your back and take off your clothes by yourself, then get into the tub, okay? Once you're in, I'll turn around."

Gu Mo blushed: "Okay, then turn around quickly, mother."

Lin Haitang turned around, listening to the rustling sounds behind her and the splashing of water. She said, "Mom has turned around, can you please be quiet?"

"Okay, Mom, turn around." Gu Mo said.

Lin Haitang turned around and said, "Momo, I know you're shy, but you can't wash your own back. Can I rub your back for you? Then I'll let you wash it yourself."

Gu Mo's face was still red. He looked at Lin Haitang with bright eyes and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Lin Haitang rubbed Gu Mo's back, then took a stool and placed it next to the bathtub. She put the towel on the stool, making sure Gu Mo could reach it, and then Lin Haitang went out.

Lin Haitang went to the east room to check on Gu Zhilan, made a quilt for her, and put two pieces of firewood on the kang.

From today on, Lin Haitang will not sleep with the two children. It is a bit crowded and not very convenient for three people to sleep in one bed.

The east room was where Gu An returned to live. He had always slept in separate beds from Lin Haitang, except for that one night when Gu An seemed drunk and violent. Lin Haitang was frightened and even cried. The next day, Gu An didn't say anything, but that day, he felt awkward seeing his original self. He wanted to explain something but couldn't. Lin Haitang, who had never liked Gu An in the first place, grew to fear and loathe him.

Lin Haitang felt that the time was almost up, so she walked into the kitchen and knocked on the door, "Have you finished washing Mo Mo? Mom is going in, is that ok?"

Gu Mo shouted in a childish voice: "Mom, Mo Mo is fine."

Lin Haitang went in and saw Gu Mo had already wrapped himself in a towel. Lin Haitang asked, "Have you wiped the water clean, Mo Mo? Do you still need me to wipe you again?"

Gu Mo said: "No need, mother, Mo Mo has already wiped it."

"Okay, then let's put on our underwear. Mom will turn around and not look at you, but you have to move quickly, otherwise you will get sick. It's too cold." Lin Haitang brought the underwear over.

Lin Haitang turned her back, and Gu Mo obediently put it on quickly.

Lin Haitang wrapped Gu Mo with a small quilt, picked him up and walked to the east room, and quickly stuffed Gu Mo into the warm quilt.

"Shh, sister is asleep, Momo should go to sleep quickly too." Lin Haitang covered Gu Mo tightly. The two siblings each had a quilt and slept in a side row. Their little faces were all red from the warmth, which was very cute.

Gu Mo nodded gently, closed his eyes and went to sleep.

Lin Haitang watched over the two children for a while, and when she was sure they were both asleep, she blew out the candles and went to the kitchen.

She herself hadn't showered yet.

After arriving in the kitchen, the water was just boiling. Lin Haitang scooped the hot water into a large bathtub, mixed it with cold water, and finally added a spoonful of spiritual spring water. Lin Haitang then took a comfortable bath.

The hot water flowed over her body, and Lin Haitang let out a comfortable sigh.

The original body was really dirty. He hadn't taken a bath since Gu An left, and Lin Haitang could even rub out mud.

Fortunately, it’s not summer, otherwise my body would stink.

After finally washing clean, Lin Haitang lay on the bed.

Lin Haitang was very tired, but she couldn't sleep. She kept her eyes open and looked at the roof.

I want to eat cherry tomatoes.

This idea came out of nowhere, but Lin Haitang really wanted it.

There might not be cherry tomatoes in this dynasty; they weren't in the original body's memory. Lin Haitang quickly entered the space and walked towards the crops, searching one by one, hoping to find cherry tomatoes.

Lettuce, wheat, spinach, rapeseed, cabbage, radish, potato, cauliflower, broccoli, peanuts, soybeans, long beans, lentils, eggplant, etc. Lin Haitang walked over to them one by one, but there was nothing, no cherry tomatoes, not even tomatoes.

Lin Haitang walked to the stone bench in a daze and sat down.

Lin Haitang's tears fell silently.

From silence to sobbing, and then to crying loudly.

Lin Haitang covered her face and cried: "Mom, I want to eat cherry tomatoes——"

Tears streamed down my face.

How long has it been since I cried so hard? I can't remember.

How long has it been since I felt this bad? I can't remember.

Mom, I want to go home.

I miss you.

Mom, how are you and Dad?

Do you miss me?

The daughter is unfilial.
