I transmigrated to the 1970s and became the female lead's vicious stepsister.

In the early morning, the birds in the trees chirped and chattered.

Fu Linchuan got up and put on his clothes.

Seeing Su Lingwu asleep, Fu Linchuan had a warm smile on his lips.

He reached out and brushed the stray hairs from his forehead and temples, his hot breath spraying onto his forehead, and slowly pressed a kiss to his lips.

Seeing that the person in their sleep had been disturbed, he frowned, patted them gently with his large hand, again and again, "Go back to sleep."

Fu Linchuan came out of the house and saw his mother-in-law quietly cooking in the kitchen. "Mom, you don't need to get up so early. It's the same if I eat at the cafeteria."

"How can that be? The cafeteria can't have as many dishes as home-cooked food. Xiao Wu'er and I want to eat too. Besides, Mom is getting old and can't sleep. It's good for her to get up and cook. Here, Mom has already packed everything."

Xu Meili specially got up early to steam flower rolls and boil tea eggs. Last night, her daughter said she wanted to eat them, so Xu Meili boiled ten eggs in advance and soaked them in various broths overnight. They were just the right amount of flavorful today.

Xu Meili packed six steamed buns, four tea eggs, a side dish, and some porridge for her son-in-law, filling two lunchboxes to the brim.

"Thank you, Mom."

Even through the lunchbox, Fu Linchuan could smell the aroma.

"Brother-in-law, I'm all ready too." Zhao Guoyao glanced at his sister's room, knowing she was sleeping, and didn't dare to speak loudly. His big eyes were wide open, full of anticipation.

Fu Linchuan smiled and ruffled his brother-in-law's hair. "I hope you'll still be this happy when you come back."

"By the way, Mom, I noticed last night that Lingwu's belly has gotten quite big. We suspect it might be twins. I'll take her to the hospital for a check-up in a while."

"Really?"

Xu Meili was also very happy to hear the news. It would be great if her daughter could have twins. In her heart, Xu Meili did not want her daughter to suffer so much pain during childbirth. If possible, she would only have one child.

Giving birth is like passing through the gates of hell for a woman; it's risky, and she couldn't bear to see her daughter suffer.

"Rinchuan, Mom thinks..."

When Fu Linchuan saw that his mother-in-law stopped halfway through her sentence, he guessed that there were some things she might be too embarrassed to say.

"Mom, please feel free to tell me anything. Don't be shy. You are my mother too. Although we are not related by blood, you hold a place in my heart that is no less important than my own mother."

"To be honest, my mom has hardly ever cooked for me."

Fu Linchuan was very grateful for the sacrifices and contributions his mother-in-law had made to the family.

"Mom knows that your family is hoping you two will have more children, but I want to say that if this pregnancy is really twins, then don't have a second child. Raising these two children well is more important than anything else."

Xu Meili knew that her son-in-law might be unhappy with what she said.

But first and foremost, she is a mother and doesn't want her daughter to suffer so much during childbirth.

Hearing his mother-in-law's words, Fu Linchuan was not angry. On the contrary, he shared the same thoughts as his mother-in-law.

"Mom, I promise you, we'll only have this one child. Whether it's a boy or a girl, whether it's one or two, this one child is enough. I can't bear to see her suffer."

He is already very content to have married Su Lingwu and had his own bloodline in this lifetime.

"Oh, my good child, Mom... I really don't know what to say."

Hearing her son-in-law's words, Xu Meili felt a warmth in her heart and was happy for her daughter to have met such a considerate partner.

"You two should leave now."

"Guoyao, come home for dinner after your workout. Mom has saved some for you."

My son-in-law has to train all morning and burn a lot of energy, so he can't do it without eating enough.

"I see!"

At this moment, Zhao Guoyao was filled with excitement.

Su Lingwu woke up at 8:30.

In modern times, this time might not seem too late, but in the 1970s, people in rural areas got up around 4 a.m. Even in family compounds, the reveille would sound at 5:30 a.m., and almost everyone would be up and working.

"You're awake. Let's eat. Didn't you want tea eggs? Mom has already peeled them for you."

On the table were a plate of steamed buns, a plate of mixed vegetables, a small bowl of porridge, and a small bowl containing two peeled tea eggs.

"Mmm, delicious!"

Seeing her daughter enjoying her meal, Xu Meili felt very satisfied.

"What do you want to eat for lunch? Mom will make it for you."

It was August, and the weather was still very hot. Su Lingwu suddenly missed the food from modern times.

People tend to crave something more when they can't get it.

"Mom, let's have some liangpi (cold skin noodles)!"

"Liangpi (cold skin noodles)?"

"Is it... Liangfen?" Xu Meili was a little confused. She seemed to have heard of Liangfen, but she really didn't know how Liangpi was made.

"I can do it, Mom, I'll make it!" Su Lingwu had learned how to make liangpi (cold skin noodles) online.

Liangpi (cold skin noodles) and gluten are easy to make; the most important thing is the seasoning.

Just thinking about liangpi (cold skin noodles) made Su Lingwu's mouth water.

A big, satisfying bite of sweet, sour, spicy cold noodles must be quite enjoyable.

After finishing breakfast, Su Lingwu went into the kitchen to tinker.

Start by kneading and washing the dough, repeating the process five or six times. Set the gluten aside and steam it later. Let the flour water from the washing process sit for a few hours.

Next, prepare the seasonings. Sugar, sesame paste, garlic water, and vinegar water are all easy to make. Dilute the sesame paste with water, dilute the vinegar with water, and peel and crush the garlic cloves, add salt, and pour in boiled water to make garlic water.

Add the spices, Sichuan peppercorns, fennel seeds, star anise, cinnamon, bay leaves, ginger slices, and scallion segments to water and bring to a boil over high heat. Then reduce the heat to low and simmer for ten minutes. Let it sit for a while and let it cool before removing the spice residue.

The most difficult part is making chili oil. Put scallions, ginger, garlic, cilantro, onions, and chilies into the pot and cook until they turn golden brown. Then take them out. Soak Sichuan peppercorns, star anise, fennel seeds, cinnamon, bay leaves, and other spices in water for ten minutes. Take them out and add them to the pot. Once they change color, take them out. Add white sesame seeds, fine chili powder, and coarse chili powder. Also add some vinegar and white wine.

The ones bought from outside also have some other secret seasonings added, but Su Lingwu felt that was enough for her family.

"Xiao Su, we have too much food at home, so it's perfect for you..."

"What are you making? It smells so good!"

The political commissar's wife walked into the yard carrying a large vegetable basket. She knew that Fu Linchuan's family had just joined the army and didn't grow vegetables at home, so she brought some vegetables from her own garden.

"Sister Yu, you've come at the right time. I'm about to make liangpi (cold skin noodles), so I'll make you a portion. Take it home and try it."

"This...this is too much trouble. You should keep it for yourselves. This stuff looks very expensive."

Putting everything else aside, just look at this row of various seasonings; they're anything but ordinary.

"Sister Yu, please don't be so polite with me. The vegetables you brought are just what I needed right away. I was really short of cucumbers, and you brought them over."

Su Lingwu took a few daylilies from Yu Chunhua's vegetable basket and shredded them.

Yu Chunhua cut a sheet of cold skin noodles, added a handful of gluten, some daylily buds and cilantro, and a little of each seasoning. Before she even finished mixing it, her mouth was already watering.

Su Lingwu mixed three portions, one for each person. Xu Meili and Yu Chunhua were eating it for the first time and couldn't stop eating.

"Little Wu'er, your cold noodles are really good."

"Little Su, I've really learned something new today! This is so delicious!"

"Sister Yu, let me make another batch for you to take home so your family can try it." Su Lingwu made a lot of cold noodles, and the seasonings were plentiful.

"Well... then I won't stand on ceremony with you. Let my husband, Lao Liu, try this new thing too."

Su Lingwu wasn't stingy; she took out three sheets, mixed a large portion, and asked Sister Yu to take it home for her family to eat.

"Teach Mom, then you won't have to do it yourself, Mom will make it." Xu Meili has also come to like liangpi (cold skin noodles).

Su Lingwu told Xu Meili how to make it. Xu Meili thought to herself, no wonder it tastes so good, it's made with good ingredients.

White flour, white sugar, sesame paste, so much oil, and all sorts of seasonings.

No need to cook lunch, we can just have cold noodles, and we also have leftover steamed buns and tea eggs from breakfast.

Su Lingwu tidied herself up briefly in the bathroom at home, then returned to her room and took a shower in her spatial dimension.

I went outside, changed my clothes, and sat down to read a book.

"Su Lingwu, come out here! What did you make? My child got food poisoning!"

Su Lingwu and Xu Meili quickly went out.

It turned out to be Fang Hongying and Gao Yufen, with several pale-faced children standing beside them, clutching their stomachs and groaning.

"I haven't fed them anything, are you sure you haven't made a mistake?"
