The wife of two taels of silver

The sweet potato starch was finally dried, and Lin Haitang jumped up excitedly.

Lin Haitang prepared the necessary tools and tried hard to recall the steps of making sweet potato vermicelli in a short video she had watched before.

She had never done this before, and she couldn't ruin the powder she had worked so hard to make. She had to try a little first to see if it would work.

Thicken the starch with hot water, then pour in the dry powder and stir. Lin Haitang rolled up his sleeves and worked in the kitchen until he was sweating profusely.

"Madam, do you want me to help you?" Zhao Xiangjun asked, watching Lin Haitang's actions.

Lin Haitang looked intently at the mixed powder, which had already become a white ball, and said, "Wait a minute, sister-in-law, I will definitely need you to help me later."

Put the dough into a special wooden spoon, Lin Haitang held the spoon in his right hand, and punched the dough in the spoon with his left hand. Lin Haitang looked at the bottom of the spoon intently, and the vermicelli came out and flowed into the pot of boiling water.

It worked!

"Sister-in-law! Sister-in-law, look! The vermicelli is formed!" Lin Haitang said excitedly to Zhao Xiangjun.

Zhao Xiangjun looked into the pot and saw that the originally white vermicelli had turned transparent. It was the first time she had seen vermicelli and her eyes were full of curiosity: "Really? She has become my wife!"

"Sister-in-law, please use chopsticks to scoop out the vermicelli and put it in the cold water next to you." Lin Haitang quickly said to Zhao Xiangjun.

"Oh oh oh." Zhao Xiangjun nodded quickly, and her hands moved quickly, scooping all the cooked vermicelli into the cold water.

The two people cooperated well and soon they had beaten all the dough in the wooden spoon, and the entire bottom of the basin was filled with vermicelli.

Lin Haitang looked at the vermicelli with shining eyes and said, "Sister-in-law, hang these vermicelli outside to dry. They can be kept for a long time after drying. I'll call Liu Sanyou and Brother Zhang to come over and help!"

After bringing two strong people over, the work progressed significantly faster. About an hour later, all the sweet potato starch was made into vermicelli.

Lin Haitang looked at the vermicelli drying all over the yard and laughed out loud. "Just wait and see to eat them tonight! I promise, after you try them once, you'll be begging me to make them again!"

Liu Sanyou poured cold water on Lin Haitang and said, "Madam, please do it first and stop talking big."

Liu Wanwan hit Liu Sanyou and said, "Why are you such a spoiler?"

Lin Haitang said, "Hey, Liu San, you've gotta wait. If I make it tonight, don't eat a second bowl."

It was almost time, so Lin Haitang went to prepare dinner. She couldn't just eat hot and sour noodles, she also wanted to eat lamb ribs and roasted lamb legs, so she had to prepare it quickly.

"Brother Zhang, sister-in-law, you two go buy a lamb. We're having a lamb feast today!" Lin Haitang was drooling just thinking about it. "I'll go prepare the side dishes, you two go buy the lamb."

Liu Wanwan asked: "Sister, do you need my help?"

Lin Haitang thought for a moment and said, "Wanwan, you go look after that kid Gu Chen. I'm afraid the nanny can't coax him by herself."

"Brother Sanyou, go chop wood. We're going to use up a lot of firewood today, and this isn't enough." Lin Haitang arranged everyone's whereabouts, then ran into the space and picked a large basket full of side dishes that he could hear.

We made some hearty dishes today, so we ate a little late.

Lin Haitang found a copper basin, made a hole in the table, set up a small stove underneath, and made a simple version of mutton spine hot pot. She also roasted lamb legs, made hand-held lamb chops, and stewed lamb soup with the lamb shanks. The lamb head and hooves were still exposed in the pot.

Such a big table is just for the hot and sour noodles as a side dish.

Not only Xiaobai, but everyone was drooling, it was so delicious.

Lin Haitang took off her apron, sat on the stool, and roared with all her might, "Eat!"

Everyone's hands were so quick that half of the lamb chops piled high on the plate were gone in a blink of an eye.

Lin Haitang picked up a piece of lamb ribs and started to eat it, her eyes narrowed as she ate.

It’s so delicious. This person lives for this mouth.

"Aw! Aww!"

Xiaobai circled around Lin Haitang anxiously.

And me! Mom, and me! You forgot about Xiaobai!

"Sorry, sorry, I forgot you have no hands. Let me get some for you." Lin Haitang picked up a lot of each dish for Xiaobai, filling up the whole bowl. Some of the dishes were too spicy, so she rinsed them with water for Xiaobai.

Putting a bowl full of meat in front of Xiaobai, Lin Haitang said, "Eat it, dear. Call me again if it's not enough."

Lin Haitang took a sip of the hot and sour noodles and tears were about to come out.

It’s really not easy. She hasn’t eaten hot and sour noodles for almost a year since she came to this damn Kang Dynasty!

If you want to eat it, you have to make it yourself. Just make it. You have to start from grinding the flour and turning the sweet potatoes into vermicelli. It is really not easy for her.

For a moment, the table was filled with the sound of powder being sucked in.

Gu Mo and Gu Zhilan's mouths were red from the spicy food, and sweat was coming out of their noses and foreheads, but they still ate happily.

Lin Haitang leaned back in the chair, touching her stomach. She felt like her stomach was about to burst. She really wanted to sleep after eating. Or maybe she ate too much. Lin Haitang felt like she couldn't open her eyes.

Most people at the table are in this state.

Except for the sheep's head and sheep's feet braised in the pot, nothing was left on the table.

"Mom," Gu Zhilan smacked her lips and said childishly, "Can we eat like this every day?"

Lin Haitang shook her head and said, "No, baby, you can't eat it every day. If you eat it every day, I will be exhausted."

"Okay, then it would be great if we can eat it once in a while." Gu Zhilan thought for a while and decided that it would be better not to let her mother get too tired.

Liu Sanyou was so full that it was difficult for him to change his sitting position. He felt that if he moved, the meat he had eaten would come out of his throat. He said, "Madam, I want to be your thug for the rest of my life. Please don't abandon me and my wife."

"If you say another word of this nonsense, I will really abandon you. Wanwan stays and you go." Lin Haitang replied with her eyes closed.

Liu Wanwan mocked her husband without hesitation: "I don't know who it is, he was still making sarcastic remarks during the day."

Liu Sanyou took Liu Wanwan's hand and shook it, sighing: "My wife, I was wrong, please spare my life."

Everyone was silent for a while, no one moved.

Lin Haitang was afraid that everyone would fall asleep on the stools, so she said, "Everyone go to bed quickly. We can wash the dishes tomorrow."

Everyone stood up yawning, greeted each other and went back to their rooms.

Gu Chen had already fallen asleep in bed. Lin Haitang also fell asleep after smelling the milky scent on his body.

The dream was all white, and Lin Haitang was still holding Gu Chen in her arms. The little guy looked left and right curiously, grabbing his mother's hair with one hand and grabbing around with the other hand, trying to catch the white mist.

Lin Haitang pressed Gu Chen's head against her chest, protecting his head, and walked forward carefully.

Is this a dream? Why is it so strange? Lin Haitang secretly complained.

Wow, wow, wow—

Lin Haitang heard the sound of gurgling water and walked forward following the sound. The white mist gradually dissipated.

There is a green meadow around and a stream not far away. An old lady with white hair is standing by the stream.

"Wow~" Gu Chen turned his head to look at the old lady, exclaimed, and twisted his little hands.

"Xiaobao, you are good." Lin Haitang kissed his little face and stood there without moving.

Maybe it was because of Gu Chen, even in her dream, Lin Haitang was still cautious and didn't dare to take any risks.

Who knows whether that old lady is a human or a ghost? What if she snatches a bite of Gu Chen away and eats him? Even in a dream, I will still be scared and angry.

The old lady turned around and tilted her head to look at Lin Haitang. Seeing that her face was full of vigilance and she had no intention of coming over, she took the initiative to walk over.

"What's wrong? Have you become smarter? Don't you recognize me?" The old lady's voice was quite pleasant and she was pretty. Even though she was old, she was still elegant and generous.

Lin Haitang was completely bewildered and asked, "Should I know you?"

"I'm your mother-in-law." The old lady never stopped saying shocking things, and scared Lin Haitang so much that she took two steps back.

Lin Haitang stared with round eyes, shocked: "No, you, you are not..."

No, what does this mean? How can there be such a thing as dreams?

The old lady looked at Lin Haitang seriously, then smiled and said, "It's really different from before. I said that old woman Meng Po was lying to me."

"Ah!"

Gu Chen waved his arms and turned to look at his grandmother.

Lin Haitang smiled awkwardly and said, "Is there something wrong?"

The old lady reached out her hand, took Gu Chen, and shook him up, "Oh, my little grandson is growing up so well, so white and plump."

Lin Haitang smiled awkwardly beside him, not knowing how to respond.

Lin Haitang never expected that in the Kang Dynasty, even though her original mother-in-law had passed away, she would still have the chance to see her "mother-in-law" one day.

"Don't be nervous, I just came to see you. I haven't met little Gu Chen yet." The old lady said to Lin Haitang with a smile in her eyes.

"Gu An was devastated after that incident. In desperation, I chose you to be my daughter-in-law. I wasn't happy, but I had no better choice," the old lady recounted. "Even after my death, I still worried about you. I never drank Meng Po soup, chatted with that old woman Meng Po, or reincarnated, hoping to have a chance to see you once a year."

"Meng Po told me that you would be fine and that you would give birth to a third child," the old lady patted Gu An, who was lying on her, and spoke slowly, "She said you would come back. Sure enough, the old woman didn't lie to me."

Lin Haitang felt it was ridiculous, and her tone was a little excited. "Old man, you should know that I am not the original Lin Haitang, I am not your daughter-in-law, I came here out of necessity, how can I be called back? How can I be called back?"

The old lady was still very gentle and said, "Child, you have always been you."

The old lady placed Gu Chen in the arms of the visibly stunned Lin Haitang and said, "Haitang, it wasn't until I reached the underworld that I realized you were my destined daughter-in-law."

"My time is up, I have to go back. Thank you for your hard work. You have to support this family alone without Gu An."

The old lady gradually turned into a spot of light and gradually disappeared, leaving only her last voice around.

"Come back! What do you mean?!"

Lin Haitang shouted to the sky.

"What do you mean I am me? This body doesn't belong to me, Lin Haitang. No!"

Lin Haitang felt that these people were really ridiculous. Why were they telling her one by one that she should have come to Kang Dynasty? No one asked her what she thought in her heart. Everyone thought it was natural!

It's so disgusting.

It was true that Lin Haitang accepted these three children, but there was nothing she could do about it. If she had not traveled through time, she should not have considered these issues. This was a forced acceptance, a compromise, not something she should have done.

Lin Haitang woke up suddenly. It was already dawn outside, but Gu was still sleeping soundly, showing no signs of waking up.

Thinking of the dream he just had, Lin Haitang's face darkened.

Lin Haitang walked back and forth in the room.

She had to see the old lady again and ask clearly.

I have to go back to the village today to burn some paper for the old lady and tell her that I will see her again tonight.

During breakfast, Lin Haitang said to everyone, "Let's go back to the village and burn some paper for Gu An's mother. She appeared in my dream last night."

Lin Haitang had just finished speaking when she suddenly thought of something and lowered her head in annoyance.

"Madam, what's wrong with you?" Zhao Xiangjun asked Lin Haitang.

Lin Haitang raised her head, a look of despair on her face, and said, "I forgot the old lady's death anniversary and didn't burn paper for her this year."

Really, no wonder she came to me in my dream, maybe it was just a reminder for me to burn paper for her, Lin Haitang thought to herself.

"The old lady passed away on April 12, but I was in Yancheng at that time and forgot about it so much that I was eight hundred miles away. I didn't remember it." Lin Haitang slapped his head in annoyance.

It's really not her fault. Her original body was stupid and she was very afraid of her mother-in-law. It was already good enough that Lin Haitang could remember the good old days.

Zhao Xiangjun opened her mouth, not knowing how to comfort him for a moment. After thinking for a moment, she said, "It's okay, it's okay. As an old man, it's satisfying to see the younger generation living well. Let's go make up for it today and bring the young master and the young lady with us so that the old man can meet his grandchildren."

"Okay." Lin Haitang nodded and said, "Sister-in-law, take me to buy the things for the sacrifice. I really don't understand."

"Okay, Madam, don't think too much and eat quickly." Zhao Xiangjun pushed the dishes in front of Lin Haitang.

Gu Mo and Gu Zhilan woke up late and never ate with them. When they got up to eat, Lin Haitang told them the news: "Mo Mo, Lan Lan, let's go back to the village today to see if grandma is okay. Mother asked Uncle Zhang to go to your academy and ask for leave for you."

Gu Zhilan nodded obediently, her obsidian eyes particularly beautiful, and she said softly, "Okay, Mom, Lanlan hasn't seen grandma for a long time."

"Mom, will my brother go with us?" Gu Mo ate faster than Lan Lan. He had already finished eating and was playing with Xiao Bai.

Lin Haitang shook her head and said, "My younger brother won't go. He's too young. Let's wait until he's a little older, then we can take him with us, okay?"

Gu Mo hugged Xiaobai's neck, nodded, and said, "Okay."

Zhao Xiangjun took Lin Haitang to buy things and asked Liu Sanyou to drive the carriage. After about an hour, they arrived at Shang'anhe Village.
