The couple made a living in the 1950s.

Chapter 16 Happy New Year 2

The next day, when Lin Hanyu opened her eyes, the three babies were still asleep.

She wanted to quietly get up and put on her clothes, but as soon as she sat up, Bai Ye pulled her back and held her in his arms.

"What time did you agree to meet? Why are you getting up so early?" Bai Ye said with his eyes closed.

Lin Hanyu rubbed his eyes and said, "Half past eight."

"Uh-huh"

Bai Ye turned around and picked up the watch on the kang, then picked up the kerosene lamp on the dressing table.

Light it up and use the dim light to see the time clearly.

"It's six o'clock now," Bai Ye lay back down and hugged the person in his arms again.

Lin Hanyu was drawing circles on Bai Ye's chest out of boredom.

"Three treasures, wake up around seven o'clock. I have to go out today, so I have to get up now to cook."

"Yeah, you sleep a little longer, I'll make breakfast today." Bai Ye

Lin Hanyu saw Bai Ye get up and did not get up again.

Lin Manyu was very satisfied with the boiled eggs, millet porridge, braised spareribs and garlic sauce.

"Wow...wow...wow..."

The sound of children crying came from the bedroom. Lin Manyu and Bai Ye walked towards the bedroom while swallowing what they had in their mouths.

By the time the two of them fed the children and put them to sleep, it was almost eight o'clock.

Lin Hanyu went up to the second floor and came to her and Aye's bedroom.

Because it is safer and more convenient to take care of the child downstairs, she and Aye have never slept in this bedroom.

She opened the bedroom door and on the right hand side, there was a triangular cabinet in the northwest corner of the bedroom.

On the left hand side, there are two top box cabinets placed side by side, close to the north wall and the east wall. One was originally built to store clothes. It is three meters long, two meters high and sixty centimeters deep.

One was made later to hold cloth. It is one meter long, two meters high, and sixty centimeters deep.

Next to the top box cabinet is a double bed, with a bedside table on each side, occupying 2.4 meters of the east wall.

Between the bed and the window is a double sofa that is 1.3 meters long and a dressing table that is 1.3 meters long. There is also a corner table in front of the sofa that serves as a coffee table.

Opposite the double sofa and dressing table is a four-meter-long radiator, which is installed on the west wall against the south wall.

Opposite the top box cabinet are the chest of drawers, bookcase, desk and clothes rack.

The clothing that people in Beijing wear today is still passed down from the Republic of China period. Men wear long gowns with buttons on the side, and women wear cheongsams.

Before she and Aye came to Beijing, the lining of their winter clothes were still fur. It was only after they arrived in Beijing that they started making pure cotton winter clothes.

Lin Manyu opened the top cabinet to choose clothes. Most of the cheongsams in her wardrobe were Beijing style cheongsams.

She picked out a black brocade cheongsam with a Yuanbao collar and changed into it, then hurried downstairs.

Bai Ye sat at the round table and watched Lin Manyu changing into cotton-leather shoes in front of the shoe cabinet.

Lin Hanyu changed her shoes, stood up and looked at Bai Ye mischievously.

"Aye, aren't you worried that I won't look like a working class person if I go out wearing brocade?"

Bai Ye stood up, walked forward and gently kissed Lin Manyu's forehead.

He was so angry that he laughed. This little woman didn't have so many ideas every day.

"As long as you don't take out the Xiangyunsha, Hongyunsha and Yunjin left by the mothers in the space and make them into cheongsams to wear out, everything else will be fine."

Lin Hanyu stood at the door holding a cowhide bag.

"Aye, come here and let me hug you. This is the first friend I feel like I can talk to since I left my old house in Yang City."

Bai Ye's eyes flashed with helplessness, and he walked forward to let her hug him tightly, "Wife, will you come back for lunch at noon?"

"I don't know. I don't know if shopping in Jing City is fun."

Lin Yuyu took off her leather gloves and stretched out her white hand to Bai Ye, "Give me money."

"Hehehe, wait." Bai Ye went back to the south bedroom on the first floor where they lived now to get the money from Lin Manyu.

Since the last time the two of them agreed to use as little space as possible, they started to live like they did when they lived with their parents.

Use a small wooden box to hold money, and then place the small wooden box on the top shelf of the cabinet.

The small cloth wallet that Lin Hanyu made herself could not hold anything else after it contained three million French francs and five silver dollars.

She put her wallet into her cowhide bag, turned back and kissed Bai Ye before leaving.

It was still early, his wife was not at home, and the children were sleeping. Bai Ye was sitting on the sofa alone, bored.

Thinking that the New Year was approaching, he got up and went to the kitchen to get a rag, then walked to the bedroom on the second floor, intending to wipe all the furniture.

In the north bedroom on the west side of the second floor, Bai Ye opened the door and saw the top box cabinet on the east wall on the right hand side was against the north wall.

On the left hand side, in the southeast corner of the bedroom is a triangular cabinet. The radiator is installed in the middle of the west wall.

The head of the bed in the bedroom is in the middle of the south wall, with a bedside table on each side.

There is a desk between the bed and the west wall, opposite the desk is a double sofa, and in front of the sofa is a corner table.

There is a dressing table between the bed and the triangle cabinet, and opposite the dressing table are the chest of drawers and the clothes rack.

The furniture placement in the adjacent south bedroom is the same as in the north bedroom, just in a different direction.

The tenant of the back room of the main courtyard moved out some time ago, and Lin Hanyu entered the fourth courtyard.

Only then did I feel the lively atmosphere of old Beijing people as they prepared for the New Year, and there was joy everywhere.

She had never met most of the people in the courtyard, so she didn't need to greet anyone along the way and soon arrived at the second courtyard.

Zhang Mei saw Lin Hanyu coming, picked up her cowhide bag, and walked towards her. The two of them walked out of the courtyard hand in hand.

Zhang Mei is wearing an apricot-yellow satin cheongsam today.

Two women, one charming and delicate, the other gentle and pretty, both dressed in high-quality and beautiful clothes. They were two beautiful scenery when walking on the street.

"What are you buying today?" Lin Hanyu

Zhang Mei: "I want to go to the silk shop to look at fabrics and buy two sauerkraut jars because the ones I have now are too small."

"In winter, there is nothing else to eat except sauerkraut, radish and cabbage."

"What do you want to buy?" Zhang Mei

"I need to take a look first," Lin Yuyu said, "Let's go to the silk shop first."

At home, Bai Ye finished wiping the furniture on the second floor and walked to the north bedroom on the first floor.

The door of the north bedroom is on the south wall, four meters away from the west wall.

Open the bedroom door, and on the left is a four-meter-high radiator installed on the south wall.

The kang in the bedroom is five meters long and two meters wide, with the width connected to the west wall and the length connected to the north wall.

The dressing table was placed against the west wall against the kang, next to it was a clothes rack, and a wardrobe for storing bedding was placed at the end of the kang.

The triangular cabinet is in the northeast corner of the bedroom, the desk is placed against the north wall against the kang, and between the desk and the triangular cabinet is a chest of drawers.

Opposite the chest of drawers is a top-box cabinet, which is placed against the south wall and close to the east wall.

A double sofa is placed against the east wall between the triangle cabinet and the top box cabinet, with a corner table in front serving as a coffee table.

The south bedroom on the first floor has a door on the north wall, three meters away from the east wall.

Opening the bedroom door, you will see a four-meter radiator installed on the north wall, close to the west wall.

The kang in the south bedroom is also five meters long and two meters wide, but its width is connected to the west wall and its length is connected to the south wall.

The upright cabinet for storing bedding is also placed at the end of the kang.

The dressing table was placed against the west wall against the kang, with a clothes rack next to it.

On the left side of the door is a top-box cabinet placed on the south wall, and the cabinet is close to the east wall.

The triangular cabinet is in the southeast corner of the bedroom, next to the triangular cabinet is a desk, and next to the desk is a chest of drawers.

The double sofa is placed against the east wall, between the top cabinet and the triangular cabinet, with a corner table in front of it.

"Wow...wow...wow..." Bai Ye was wiping the sofa when the three treasures on the kang woke up.

He quickly ran to the kitchen to wash his hands, then came back to make the milk powder.
