The couple made a living in the 1950s.

It is a blessing for the couple to have another son after all these years.

When Zhang Mei saw her son-in-law staring at her grandson in the cradle, the tension in her heart finally eased.

My daughter now has a son and will no longer be troubled by rumors from the outside world.

As a mother, she was happy.

Li Fanglei stayed in the hospital for a full week before she was ready to pack up and go home.

Today is Sunday, and Erbao just finished a late night shift the day before.

After getting off work at eight in the morning, I went straight to the obstetrics and gynecology ward.

Li Fanglei was the only pregnant woman in the ward. There were not many women coming to the hospital to give birth at that time.

It is even rarer for a woman in the family to be able to stay in the hospital for seven days.

Leilei had just given birth, and since the baby drank milk powder at night, she didn't need to wake up to take care of him.

She seemed to be in good spirits.

At this moment, looking at the nurse walking into the ward, a slight smile appeared on her face.

"Brother Qingxiang has gone to handle the discharge procedures. If you want to see him, you have to wait here for a while."

Lin Hanyu was packing his things with his back to the door.

She heard Lei Lei talking and turned to look at the person who came to hide the doubts in her heart.

In this day and age, isn't it possible for a nurse to find a doctor during his or her break unless it's an emergency?

This is something that is both important and not urgent.

Wang Juan noticed that Lin Manyu was looking at her and smiled sincerely.

"Are you Dr. Bai's sister-in-law? I've heard that Dr. Bai's sister-in-law is also a college student."

"Well, his wife is also a college student."

Lin Hanyu looked at the nurse standing in front of him, feeling a little depressed.

In this special period, are there women who dare to come and challenge the original wife?

This person may not look good, but he has beautiful thoughts.

She realized that this woman had ulterior motives, and there was an unconscious scrutiny in her eyes as she looked at her.

Wang Juan caught a glimpse of hostility in Lin Hanyu's eyes.

He looked puzzled.

Did he mistake Dr. Bai's wife for his own? The Bai family asked the woman who had just given birth to pack her own things?

That shouldn’t be the case, even though Dr. Bai’s wife doesn’t come to the hospital often.

But she wouldn't mistake the person for the wrong person. Over the years, whenever she came to the hospital, she would see Dr. Bai.

I just watched her from a distance and remembered her appearance.

She is a rare and beautiful woman, no matter how beautiful she is.

They have been married for so many years that Dr. Bai should be tired of seeing them.

Even if I am not as good as her in every aspect, I am still a newcomer.

Thinking of this, she turned to look at Lei Lei who was sitting on the hospital bed with a smile on her face.

Suddenly I felt that her smile was too eye-catching.

Lin Hanyu still doesn’t know what Wang Juan is thinking. If she knew, she would definitely be in tears.

It is true that no matter what era, there are always people with strange ideas.

Many remarks always take people by surprise.

"Mom, Leilei, let's go home."

Erbao lowered his head and looked at the bill in his hand while walking into the ward.

For a moment, I didn't notice that there was one more person in the ward.

The atmosphere in the ward did not improve after the second baby came into the room.

The whole room was filled with silence, which prompted Erbao to look up and around.

Lin Yuyu watched helplessly as her second son's face grew darker and darker.

I sighed secretly in my heart, but had to speak out to break the awkwardness.

"Come back, this nurse is looking for you."

Wang Juan came back to her senses when she heard Lin Manyu's voice.

She mistook Dr. Bai's mother for her sister-in-law.

I don't know whether this unintentional mistake will cause goodwill or disgust.

"Doctor Bai, you left in a hurry this morning."

"My scarf fell on the table, so I came to see if you wanted to go back and get it."

Wang Juan looked at Erbao's neck, and saw another scarf wrapped around it, with an embarrassed look on her face.

Lin Hanyu found what the nurse said boring.

He was the first to say goodbye to her with a smile and picked up his second grandson in his arms.

He got up and walked out of the ward.

When Li Fanglei saw her mother-in-law like this, a barely perceptible smile flashed across her eyes.

I quickly took the hand that Brother Qingxiang extended to me and followed him out of the ward.

He walked up to Wang Juan and said some polite words with a smile.

Erbao was in tears and laughed at the same time.

He looked up at his mother who was walking in front of him, and subconsciously reached out to touch his nose feeling guilty.

By tomorrow, most of the family members should know that I might be dependent on this woman soon.

Come to think of it, it's just bad luck. People like them are most afraid of leaving any handle behind.

There are no vacancies available for transfer recently, and I can't just change someone's job openly.

Even he himself was reluctant to leave Xiehe Hospital until the very last.

Here are the results of his years of hard work.

How could others be willing to be transferred?

Wang Juan and Niu Xiaoyun's families are not completely without people who can have a say in the health department.

Seeing that the people around her were a little dazed, Li Fanglei quietly stretched out her little hand and secretly twisted Erbao's waist.

"It hurts..."

"Wife, be careful of the impact."

The movements of the young couple made Lin Manyu look back.

Li Fanglei met her gaze and smiled ingratiatingly.

"Mom, we'll catch up."

Lin Hanyu smiled and nodded, then continued walking towards the hospital entrance.

Dabao was waiting there in a military vehicle.

It takes about 30 minutes by bike from my home to Xiehe Hospital.

Whether it is for a mother who has just given birth one week ago or a baby who has just been born one week ago, the time is too long.

Every time Leilei and Xiaoou were discharged from the hospital after giving birth, they would go home in a military vehicle.

Wait for the car to arrive at the entrance of the alley, then get off and walk back to the courtyard.

Since her eldest son was not in Beijing, she went to the military compound to borrow a car from her eldest cousin.

Even during this period, the Bai family never treated their daughter-in-law badly when it came to postpartum confinement.

After a while, they returned to the entrance of the Siheyuan Hutong.

Dabao went back to the army to return the car.

Lin Hanyu, holding her second grandson in her arms, hurried back home.

Erbao carried Li Fanglei on his back and walked home no slower than his mother.

When they arrived home, Meng Xiaoou had already lit the kang on the first floor of the main house.

Just like before, Li Fanglei was recuperating after giving birth in the south bedroom on the first floor of the main house.

This bedroom not only has a kang and a earthen heater, but also has a corridor outside the window.

Sitting on the kang, you can see the moon gate in the yard.

When she gave birth to her three babies, she stayed in this room to recuperate.

Both daughters-in-law gave birth and stayed in this room for the rest of their lives.

When the children in the family are older, this bedroom will be given to the granddaughters.

The north bedroom next door is reserved for the grandchildren. The south bedroom has slightly better lighting than the north bedroom.

The rest is not much different.

There is no condition at home now to allow children to have their own separate rooms.

Thinking of this, Lin Manyu couldn't help but recall the days when he lived in the old house in Yang City.

She didn't know what was wrong with her recently, and she kept thinking about her childhood from time to time.

In the living room, Bai Ye was sitting aside and saw that his wife was a little dazed.

Reach out and touch her little hand on her lap.

"Didn't you say last time that you wanted to go to the scrap collection station?"

"We were delayed before and never got there."

"We'll go take a look next week."

As expected, Lin Hanyu looked at Bai Ye with interest.

Some time ago, Wan Ling officially went to the ministry to start work.

She also officially took up the position of Chief of the Finance Section of the Beijing Public Security Bureau.

If nothing unexpected happens, I should be able to retire in this position.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel a little satisfied.

In this life, he could also become the section chief of the capital's Public Security Bureau.

This was something she could not even think of in her previous life.

Growing up in an orphanage, they are not suitable for such a peaceful and stable life.

"Aye, let's wait until our second grandson is one month old before going to the scrap collection station."

"It's better to go at the right time than to go early."

As she spoke, she slowly walked into the bedroom to see her second son and his wife.

Seeing that Li Fanglei was settled, Meng Xiaoou turned and went into the kitchen to make lunch.

At this moment, there were only two grandsons, the second son and his wife in the room.

Lin Manyu ignored his second son who was sitting next to his wife and whispering.

Instead, she walked over to her eldest grandson and second grandson. The two little brothers were sleeping side by side, which made her feel soft-hearted.

A'yun and Yiyi were sitting on the sofa, playing cat's tangle, when they saw their grandmother come into the room.

They looked at each other in tacit understanding, then stood up and walked into the living room.

Grandpa is so pitiful, staying alone in the living room.

Grandpa will definitely be happy to have them accompany him.

Bai Ye naturally couldn't guess the child's strange thoughts.

He watched them raising their calves and running towards him.

He stretched out his arms, smiled, caught them both, and held them in his arms.

"Are you hungry?"

"Not hungry."

When Bai Ye saw his two little granddaughters shaking their heads, he gave up the idea of ​​getting peach cakes for them.

Children should not miss three meals a day because of eating too many snacks.

After a while, there was a knock on the door outside the moon gate in the yard.

Bai Ye thought that it was his eldest son who forgot to take the key.

He opened the moon gate and saw Jiang's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, Ding Qiang's wife and second son standing outside the door.

"come on in."

Bai Ye turned sideways and let them all enter the yard.

They had just entered the yard when Lin Hanyu and Erbao came out with their two little girls.

Liu Meijia saw her friend coming out and stretched out her hand with a smile.

The two people's hands were naturally intertwined, without any sense of incongruity.

Ding Ruchen, who was standing next to his mother, blinked.

He followed his two younger sisters into the house with ease and played with them.

He is already in the second grade of primary school, so it is not difficult for him to play with two kids who are three years younger than him.

Lin Hanyu looked at the three children sitting at the round table and talking to themselves.

I took out peach cakes, glutinous rice noodles, and Huangyao canned food from the chest and gave them to eat.

Then he sat back on the sofa.

Both my grandmother and Meijia brought eggs for Leilei to use during her confinement period.

Now, only close relatives and friends will send such gifts.

Thanks to her little daughter, she gave birth to two grandsons safely for the Jiang family.

The second daughter-in-law gave birth to the second grandson.

Recently, the rumors about their three families in the courtyard were self-defeating.

There are people who are happy and people who are sad. In the living room of the Bai family, Lin Manyu and others sat together drinking tea and chatting.

There was a genuine smile on everyone's face.

It also highlights that some neighbors have different thoughts.

At this time, Dabao just walked into the back room.

Then I saw Wang Lai Di’s grandmother, Aunt Zhang, sitting under the window sill of their house.

"Boss of the Bai family, did that girl from the Li family really give birth to a son for your brother?"

Dabao originally thought that he would say hello politely to Aunt Zhang and then come back.

Unexpectedly, the old lady of the Wang family looked unhappy and spoke first, forcing him to stop for a while.

"Yes, the child is still too young. When he turns one year old, I can bring him out to bask in the sun with everyone."

As soon as Dabao finished speaking, he started walking back home.

Grandma Wang Lai Di is about the same age as Grandma Jiang.

Even at her age, it doesn't affect her at all to worry about other people's family affairs.

At night, Lin Hanyu lived in the north bedroom on the first floor as before.

Together with my second son, I took care of Leilei during her confinement.

Upstairs, Bai Ye lived his life alone in his empty room again.

He was still a little uncomfortable at first, just like the previous two times.

On the other side, Jiang Jiadong lit a kerosene lamp and sat at his desk, writing and drawing.

If you look closer, you will find that the paper is filled with densely packed names.

Lin Ai looked at him, because he was trying to come up with satisfactory names for his two grandsons.

She stayed up all night for several days in a row, suppressing her confusion in her heart without saying a word.

Although, she didn't know what kind of family her mother-in-law and husband grew up in.

But I saw that my husband put so much thought into naming his grandchildren.

She couldn't help but recall that when her two sons were just born, her mother-in-law and husband looked through many books before finally deciding on their names.

Mingbo, from "Gift to Huangfu Guest", means being upright, knowledgeable and talented.

Mingyu, from "Bo Zhenzekou", implies a bright and broad future and lofty ambitions.

She hasn't read any of these books.

Now, I don’t know where I asked my mother-in-law to keep all the miscellaneous books at home.

The husband just sat at the desk without reading any books.

He just sat there, writing the names one by one on paper.

I wrote for several nights, but still couldn't decide which names to give to my two grandsons.

It was just a title, and she really couldn't understand why her mother-in-law and husband took it so seriously.

What's more, as the old people have passed down, a humble name is easy to maintain.

At this moment, Lin Ai was silently thinking about these words in his heart.

She forgot that if the master had not given their family a name back then.

If she was called Cuihua, Guihua or various names containing "di".

Given Jiang Jiadong's personality, even if he still marries her, he will probably have to change her name.

The next day, Lin Yu took her two granddaughters to work as usual.

Next month, we will celebrate the Spring Festival of 1972.

They have to buy some easy-to-store New Year's goods for their homes one after another.

At this time of year every year, the supplies in department stores can no longer fully meet the needs of Beijing residents.

If you can't just focus on buying things, it's better to act first as before.

Lin Hanyu was the last one to come into the office.

Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Fang Jun sitting at his desk, studying hard.

I feel comfortable with it.

Meimei's two children are both very hardworking, and Fang Jun was admitted to their department as an accountant.

Immediately afterwards, Fang Xu was admitted and joined Ding Qiang's police station as a police officer.

Fang Jun is a serious learner, and it is worth my while to teach him the basic accounting skills.

Lin Hanyu is in high spirits as she celebrates the happy occasion, and her little daughter becomes a mother as she wished.

Leilei also got what she wished for.

Life at home was peaceful and beautiful, and she was naturally in a good mood.

The days passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye it was Sunday again.

Since the birth of their second grandson, Lin Manyu and Bai Ye no longer brought their two granddaughters to live in the family building.
