The couple made a living in the 1950s.

Chapter 17 Happy New Year 3

Lin Hanyu did not return home alone, five transport workers who were working as truck drivers came back with her.

Their car was loaded with four large tanks that were one meter in diameter and one and a half meters high.

Four water tanks with a diameter of half a meter and a height of one meter and four small jars.

When Lin Hanyu entered the courtyard, Bai Ye was playing with the three babies in the living room.

He heard some noise in the yard, and when he came out he saw Lin Hanyu asking Ban Ye to move the jar into the living room of the east wing.

After seeing off Ban Ye, Lin Manyu locked the moon door and walked towards Bai Ye happily.

"Aye, I bought two pickled cabbage jars, four water jars and four small jars."

"We have two more large tanks that we will put in the yard next winter. They will serve as natural refrigerators."

"I will learn how to pickle sauerkraut with Meimei when the Chinese New Year comes, and then we will cook pork with sauerkraut."

Seeing how happy Lin Manyu was, Bai Ye knew that she had a good time shopping today.

"The four water tanks will be put away when the time comes. If the two water tanks at home cannot be used in the future, they will be replaced with the new ones bought today."

"The small jar will be used to pickle goose and duck eggs later."

Bai Ye's gentle eyes flashed with a smile, "Can you pickle goose eggs and duck eggs?"

"Let's learn together when I go to learn how to pickle sauerkraut," Lin Yu pouted as she walked towards the east wing. The jar was still in the living room.

In the living room of the east wing, Lin Hanyu waved her hand and put a jar of pickled cabbage into the space.

She had limited space, so she had to move them into the kitchen one by one.

In the kitchen, Lin Hanyu looked at the piles of coal, firewood and corn stalks on the ground.

She squinted her nose and turned to walk towards the main room. "She wants to go back to find Ah Ye."

In the main living room, Lin Hanyu washed her hands and sat next to Bai Ye, hugging his arm.

"Aye, I thought it would be convenient to put coal in the kitchen when I need it."

"But when I looked at the kitchen just now, I suddenly felt that if it was arranged like this, our home would not look classy at all."

"Yeah," Bai Ye nodded slightly.

"Play with the kids for a while. They just woke up and need to wait a while before they can go to sleep. I'll go to the kitchen in the east wing to clean up."

"Let's not collect the ones in the main kitchen for now. Otherwise, if someone comes to our house and finds that there is no fuel for the fire, they might start to pay attention to us."

"I can build an annex myself. When spring comes and the soil thaws, I will build an annex to store coal, firewood and corn stalks at home."

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Lin Yuyu turned and walked to the second floor. "I'll go upstairs to change clothes first and come down soon."

In the kitchen of the east wing, Bai Ye put all the coal, firewood, and corn stalks stored upstairs and downstairs into the space.

Pick up the broom and clean the kitchen carefully.

The two sauerkraut jars in the living room were placed against the north wall on the first floor of the kitchen, and the remaining small jars were placed against the south wall.

When Bai Ye returned to the main room, Lin Manyu had already prepared dinner.

"Is the child still asleep?" Bai Ye

Lin Yu continued to serve the rice. "In the bedroom, these three little guys can sleep for eighteen hours a day."

At night, the children are all asleep.

Lin Hanyu lay in Bai Ye's arms, sweating profusely and breathing softly. This man really wanted to do everything except the last step.

Bai Ye gently stroked Lin Manyu's beautiful back.

"Wife, I will be back later tomorrow to pick up the two red pine kitchen countertops I ordered from Master Zhao."

Lin Hanyu was feeling sleepy and confused.

"Well, the kitchen in the east wing is not needed. We put one in the space and keep it for replacement when needed in the future."

Bai Ye gently kissed Lin Manyu's forehead again and again, "Go to sleep later, I'll carry you to take a bath."

In a blink of an eye, it is the 27th day of the twelfth lunar month. Today is the last day that Baiye Grocery Store is open before the New Year.

In the evening, he came back from outside carrying five pounds of pork belly and four pig's trotters, which was considered the family's New Year's meat.

When Bai Ye arrived home, Lin Manyu was lying on the sofa in the living room. When she saw Bai Ye come in, she immediately looked at him with an accusing look.

"Aye, I'm tired and bored at home, and my three babies can't talk, they just cry."

Bai Ye was about to step forward, but then he remembered that he had just come back from outside and was cold all over, "I'll go back to the bedroom and change clothes first."

At this time, in one of the rooms in the back building of the main courtyard of the quadrangle.

A family of five was eating around a small table on the kang. Apart from a plate of pickled vegetables in the middle, there were five bowls of porridge that looked like rice.

The young man took a bite of the multi-grain steamed bun in his hand.

"What does the new family that moved in do? Today I followed him back and he was carrying five or six kilograms of meat."

"Ah, five or six kilograms. Whose woman is this? She is so spendthrift. I have to see her." The old lady spoke with a sarcastic look on her face.

The young man didn't say anything. The woman next to him looked at the man, seemed to want to say something but stopped herself, and finally lowered her head.

There were two children, the boy was chubby, holding the only two multi-grain steamed buns on the table.

The girl is not very old and her eyes are lively and alert.

When Bai Ye came out after changing his clothes, Lin Hanyu had already put the food on the round table.

At the dinner table, Lin Manyu swallowed the food in his mouth.

"Aye, I want to stock up on some Chinese medicine. The ancient recipes my mother left behind contain many formulas for beauty and hair care."

"My mother used to make it for me when she was around, but later I became too lazy to make it myself."

"I'm bored now. My children are still young and there are still several years before the college entrance examination. I have to find something to do. I'll keep this for myself after I finish it."

Bai Ye: "Just give me the list of herbs you need, and I'll find a few more herbal medicine dealers."

"We don't know what the specific situation of traditional Chinese medicine will be in the next ten years. This time we will try to make sure you have enough to use for the next ten or twenty years."

At this point, Bai Ye paused and said, "I came back today, followed by a man who lives in the back house of the main courtyard."

"At first, I thought he was following me, but later I found out that he was indeed living in this hospital."

"There are always troublemakers in every dynasty and every place. From now on, when I'm not at home, don't open the moon door to any strangers."

"Yeah." Lin Hanyu nodded vigorously, as if she was afraid that Bai Ye would be worried.

Over the years, Bai Ye and Lin Manyu have long been accustomed to the current schedule and feed the children and put them to sleep at night.

At eight o'clock, the two of them finished washing up and prepared to go to bed.

On the kang, there were five members of the family, and three little ones were sleeping soundly like pigs.

Lin Yuyu, "Aye, do you want to give our three babies nicknames, Dabao, Erbao, and Sanbao, and keep using them until they are old enough to be given a given name?"

"Well," Bai Ye reached out and extinguished the kerosene lamp, "We will also follow the old etiquette."

Lin Hanyu's face was vaguely conflicted in the darkness.

"I know, I just think the nickname is a bit hasty. At the time, we just said it directly for the convenience of distinguishing it, without thinking it through seriously."

"Hahaha, it's good that he's not called Gousheng. I can accept that. Three treasures means the treasures of the family, which is good." Bai Ye

Lin Hanyu nodded, and after thinking about it carefully, she also felt that the nickname was not unacceptable.

Thinking that Bai Ye couldn't see her nod now, she spoke again, "Okay"

Lin Manyu moved his body slightly and changed into a comfortable sleeping position.

"Now I have three babies. I have to take care of them every day. Meimei works and can't always come home to play with me."

Bai Ye stood up and kissed Lin Manyu on the forehead.

"I feel like the grocery store will be closed after the Chinese New Year, and then I'll be back to be with you and the kids."

"I went there late today and didn't buy any vegetables. I'll get up early tomorrow morning to buy some pickled vegetables."

"Let's see if there are any other dishes to buy. We don't have any dishes suitable for hot pot at home. I will write the Spring Festival couplets after I get back from buying food."

"Okay, then I'll make osmanthus cake tomorrow, and I'll also steam some sticky bean curd..."

As Lin Hanyu spoke, her voice gradually became lower.

Bai Ye heard her even breathing and closed his eyes.
