The couple made a living in the 1950s.

If Bai Ye was here, he would definitely recognize the two people. One of them was the strange man he met in the yard that day.

One is Aunt Liu who lives in the west wing.

Aunt Liu came up to the man and said, "Third brother, do you want to get rid of it?"

"No need. He's a smart guy. We should get less trouble than more. Besides, he's a martial artist. You can't handle him."

"Starting tomorrow, I will move back to the courtyard. You should be a good Aunt Liu and don't provoke people who shouldn't be provoked, otherwise it will only cause trouble."

After the man finished speaking, he took a few steps forward and flipped over the back wall of the main courtyard.

Aunt Liu was left walking back alone. If someone saw her now, they would realize that she was not an old lady at all.

The Bai family's living room. The wall clock used in the house now was brought from Yangjia Village. It doesn't look out of place when hung on the east wall of the living room.

It was already half past eight in the evening. When Bai Ye came back from washing up, he saw his little woman sleeping soundly.

The children were also lying in a row on the kang, sleeping soundly. He looked at his wife and the children, his heart burning with joy.

He didn't want to wake Lin Hanyu up, so he quietly got into bed.

After Manman was one month old, he took his three children back to the south bedroom on the first floor to sleep, and the whole family slept together.

He had some guesses about what happened tonight, and he saw familiar traces in their previous eye contact.

Now I just hope that the other person is also sensible.

The moon gate leading to the front yard at home has long since turned into a wall, so we can't meet often.

If he dared to hurt his wife and children, thinking of this, Bai Ye could not hide the coldness in his eyes.

He habitually touched his left little finger with his right hand, but did not touch the family ring that was supposed to be worn there.

Perhaps sensing Bai Ye's presence, Lin Hanyu turned over and snuggled into Bai Ye's arms.

He held the little woman tightly in his arms and fell asleep peacefully.

The curtains in the house are made of dark green satin, which is thick and high-end. Today, Bai Ye and his wife were awakened by the crying of their three babies again.

Just like before, Lin Hanyu first changed the children's diapers into diapers and then fed them breast milk.

After Bai Ye came back from making the milk powder, he started feeding the three babies one by one.

Seeing that they were all full and lying there obediently, he took the changed diapers to Lin Hanyu's space and burned them.

Then take the garbage out and throw it in the outside toilet.

Time passed quickly, and New Year's Eve in 1946 was February st in the Gregorian calendar.

Although many people at that time lived a hard life, they were not at all vague about the traditional etiquette.

Tomorrow is the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month. Lin Hanyu pulled Bai Ye to sit on the sofa.

She was holding a list of etiquette for the New Year's Eve dinner from the previous dynasty's Ministry of Rites and wanted to discuss it with Bai Ye.

This was seen in the wooden box where her mother kept ancient prescriptions.

Lin Hanyu opened it and looked at the densely written words on it, rubbed his forehead, and with a wave of his little hand, put it back into the wooden box in the space.

Lin Hanyu turned to look at Bai Ye who was sitting leisurely beside him, and took out a piece of paper from his pocket.

"Aye, you said, on the twenty-third day of the twelfth lunar month: sacrifice to the God of Wealth, on the twenty-fourth day of the twelfth lunar month: dust and sweep the house, on the twenty-fifth day of the twelfth lunar month: grind the mill and make tofu."

"On the 26th day of the twelfth lunar month: slaughter pigs and cut up the meat for the New Year; on the 27th day of the twelfth lunar month: slaughter roosters and go to the big market; on the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month: make rice cakes and steam buns and paste flowers on them."

"On the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, we visit the graves and offer sacrifices to our ancestors. On the 30th day of the twelfth lunar month, we stay up all night on New Year's Eve."

"On the first day of the Lunar New Year: New Year's greetings; on the second day of the Lunar New Year: Go back to my parents' home; on the third day of the Lunar New Year: Sleep well and get up late."

"On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year: welcome the Kitchen God; on the fifth day: welcome the God of Wealth; on the sixth day: send away poverty."

"The seventh day of the Lunar New Year is for people's birthdays; the eighth day is for releasing animals and praying for blessings; the ninth day is for offering sacrifices to the heavens; the tenth day is for offering sacrifices to stones on their birthdays."

"On the 14th day of the first lunar month: try out lanterns, on the 15th day of the first lunar month: Lantern Festival."

“Which customs are better for our family to pass on?”

Bai Ye looked at the contents on the paper with confusion on his face.

"After our elders passed away, haven't we always just been celebrating the New Year in a simple way? We have been very happy all these years."

Lin Hanyu shook her head, "That was before when it was just the two of us, so of course we felt happy."

"Now we have children, and they need to be happy too."

Bai Ye nodded, leaned back on the sofa, and took Lin Yu into his arms, "Then I'll listen to you."

At this point, Lin Manyu became excited, holding the paper in his hand and talking confidently.

"Then we will dust the house on the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month, go to the street to buy meat on the 26th day of the twelfth lunar month, and take the children shopping on the 27th day of the twelfth lunar month."

"On the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, you write and post Spring Festival couplets while I make cakes. On the 30th day of the twelfth lunar month, we eat New Year's Eve dinner and watch the New Year's Eve. On the 15th day of the first lunar month, we eat Yuanxiao and visit the lantern festival."

Bai Ye tapped Lin Manyu's forehead lightly.

"On the 26th day of the twelfth lunar month, I went to buy meat by myself, not us. There must be a lot of people buying meat that day, so I went early to queue up."

"Also, we eat hotpot at home for the New Year's Eve dinner. This is simple and not tiring. It's too hard to prepare a table of New Year's Eve dinner. We don't lack food at home on weekdays."

Lin Yu thought for a moment and leaned on Bai Ye. "We don't have to buy meat on the 26th. It's fine to buy it at a different time. I don't want you to be tired."

"I also want to take my children to take photos every year to record their growth and changes." Lin Yu

Bai Ye, "Okay, there are only three days until the twenty-sixth."

Bai Ye sensitively noticed that Lin Yuyu's body stiffened for a moment, "What's wrong?"

Lin Hanyu raised her head and looked left and right, but she didn't look at Bai Ye. Bai Ye saw that she looked a little guilty, so what was there that she didn't understand?

I patted her little butt gently, "Why aren't you talking?"

Lin Hanyu put her little head back on Bai Ye’s chest.

"The children are still babies who can't crawl. Let's keep it simple like before, otherwise we will be very tired."

"Find some time before the New Year to go shopping for New Year goods, and clean the house on the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month. You can write and post Spring Festival couplets, and I'll make some osmanthus cakes as snacks. We'll have hot pot shabu-shabu for New Year's Eve dinner."

Bai Ye suppressed the smile on his face and reached out to stroke Lin Yu's long hair. "So when do we start the rituals you mentioned just now?"

"When our three babies are over five years old," Lin Hanyu said and stretched out five fingers to compare in front of Bai Ye.

Looking at the delicate little woman in front of him, Bai Ye's eyes darkened.

After giving birth, his wife didn't change at all except that she became a little plumper.

The two put their foreheads together, "Wife, it will take another four months."

Lin Manyu looked at Bai Ye who looked a little aggrieved and sighed softly, feeling a little distressed and a little proud.

The ancestor of the Bai family was a very wise man, and all the children in the family were well-educated.

Imperial and military examinations were never a problem in every dynasty, and many members of his family served as officials in the court.

Before the previous dynasty banned the sea, the Bai family had been doing business at sea for generations.

Later, the family lived in Jiangsu and Zhejiang all year round and became involved in the salt trade until the end of the previous dynasty.

In the past, merchants were the lowest class of people. The heads of the Bai family never cared about this, but instead encouraged their children to go into business.

Everyone performed their duties and together created the Bai family's business that lasted for hundreds of years.

Her man is very outstanding. He started learning martial arts at the age of four and six. He can stand out among so many outstanding children in the Bai family.

Such an excellent man belongs to her.

Bai Ye gently kissed Lin Manyu's forehead again.

"We are also first-time parents. If what we just said can be realized every year, our children will be happy children."

"Hmm" Lin Manyu "Aye"

Bai Ye: "Hmm?"

Lin Yuyu didn't look up, her hands were still playing with Bai Ye's clothes buttons seriously, "Meimei asked me to go shopping tomorrow."

"Then I'll stay at home with the kids."

Bai Ye pursed his lips and said, "My wife and Li Ze's wife are getting along better and better. She used to call me Sister Mei, but now she calls me Meimei."
