The couple made a living in the 1950s.

It can be seen that Li Huiying is very satisfied with her harvest in the new vegetable market.

Two people were riding side by side.

The slight chill left in Beijing's late winter did not affect her mood for speaking at all.

Along the way, Lin Hanyu listened quietly to her talking about what dishes she would ask her daughters-in-law to cook with the newly bought meat and vegetables when she got home.

Only after the two of them rode into the office gate did Li Huiying stop with a feeling of unfulfilled desire.

Lin Hanyu first went back to his office and put away the ribs, pork belly and pig's trotters.

Wash your hands in a public toilet.

She returned to the office and took out the trough cake she had kept in the drawer and started eating it.

She didn't have lunch, so she was really hungry now.

Today, she had finished all the work she had to do in the morning.

After eating the caozi cake, make yourself a cup of jasmine tea.

Lin Hanyu stood up, locked the office door, and turned to enter the space.

She was promoted to section chief, and her retirement salary will be higher than that of a clerk.

The thing that makes her happiest is to have an office all by herself.

There was no bed for rest in the office, so she went back to lie down on the big bed in the master bedroom.

In the space, you can hear and see what's happening outside, if someone knocks on the door.

It would be good if she could come out and open the door. Besides, it would be best if everyone had finished their work in the morning.

It is basically impossible for someone to knock on her office door in the afternoon.

Lin Manyu took off his police uniform and lay quietly on the big bed in the master bedroom.

She was flipping through the Lin family tree in her hand. As soon as she thought of a name for her second grandson, she recorded his information in the tree herself.

Her father's branch of the clan has one more child.

In this life, she enjoys the parental love that she never had in her previous life.

I always hope that this branch of her family will prosper.

She put the family tree back into the safe and turned to walk towards the kitchen.

The appearance of the space has not changed much over the years.

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Aye and I rarely enter the space.

Just use consciousness to take some food out of the space.

On the contrary, it was after Lin Manyu took office as section chief that she entered the space more frequently.

There is no water or electricity here, so she poured mineral water into a stainless steel basin, put the peaches in and started washing them.

The peaches were big and sweet, and she and A-ye often hid in the house to eat them.

But the peach pits have to be placed in a space, waiting to be thrown into the public toilet.

After eating the peach, Lin Hanyu went back to bed to sleep.

She spent the entire afternoon in the space.

It was not until half past three that I heard the alarm clock on the desk outside ringing from the space.

She put on her uniform again, left the space, sat down at her desk and prepared to go off work.

Tonight, they returned to the courtyard.

The two little granddaughters miss their parents a little.

I also need to spend more time with my younger brothers. If it weren't for my second daughter-in-law and her husband, I really wouldn't have the energy to take care of three children.

She would not allow the siblings to have some time apart.

If brothers and sisters do not spend time together often when they are young to enhance their relationship.

When they grow up and each have their own career and family, there will be no chance for them to develop feelings.

Lin Hanyu rode Fang Jun's new bicycle and watched him pedaling the broken tricycle in front of him with his two little granddaughters on board.

He couldn't help but smile, as he was a young, unmarried man.

He wore a police uniform and often rode a broken tricycle with two children.

Families who wanted to go on a blind date with him had to make careful inquiries before they dared to invite a matchmaker to their home.

The two little girls were sitting in the tricycle, unaware that their grandmother was worried about their uncle's marriage.

In the Bai family's living room, Grandma Jiang, Zhang Mei and Liu Meijia were looking at the spare ribs, pork belly and pig's trotters on the round table with smiles on their faces.

"You are well-informed."

Zhang Mei weighed the pork belly, thinking that her eldest daughter-in-law was due to give birth next month.

The family hadn't bought pork for a long time, and this time, Yu helped her out of her urgent need.

Finally, Lin Hanyu kept the ribs for herself to eat at home.

The remaining pork belly and pig's trotters were bought for them.

It was not until Zhang Mei and Liu Meijia entered the fourth courtyard that she raised her hand to close the moon door of her house.

He returned to the living room and collected the money and meat coupons that the three of them had placed on the coffee table.

"Mother…"

"Mother…"

In the kitchen on the other side, Li Fanglei was frying pork ribs in front of the stove.

She has taken good care of herself during the confinement period and her maternity leave has not yet ended.

Now, when everyone in the family is at work, she is basically the one who prepares dinner.

Tonight, my mother-in-law brought back some ribs again.

She added another dish to the family.

Li Fanglei looked at the two little girls who were hugging her legs.

A smile appeared on her face. She also missed her child these days.

"Be good, both of you go get a small stool over there and sit for a while."

"Mom, I'll play with you guys after the ribs are fried."

She looked back and saw her two little granddaughters sitting obediently on the small square stools.

Turn around and put some more coriander into the big iron pot.

It would be good to add some coriander to the stir-fried pork ribs with green onions at the end to enhance the flavor. More green will also make the dish look more pleasing to the eye.

When Bai Ye came back, dinner was already ready at home.

My daughter-in-law was sitting on the sofa in the living room, holding her second grandson.

Lin Hanyu looked up to meet his gaze and smiled as she watched him change his coat.

Wait until he is in the bathroom, washes his hands and sits next to you.

He stuffed his second grandson into his arms.

"Let's let grandpa hug us."

Bai Ye took the child and gently touched his chubby little hands.

The little fat on this child's body is so cute.

After a while, the eldest son, the second son and the eldest daughter-in-law came home one after another.

The eldest daughter-in-law came in with her child on her back and a large package in her hands.

"Mom and Dad, Qingshu's letter for this month has been mailed."

When Bai Ye heard the letter from his little girl, he was about to say, "Let's go have dinner."

He was forced to press it back.

He opened the package and took out the letter directly to read it with his wife.

Every time Sanbao received a letter, the family would sit on the sofa in the living room and read it together.

At this moment, A'yun and Yiyi saw that the package sent by their aunt seemed to contain food they had never seen before.

Two pairs of curious eyes opened wide and looked at their father.

Erbao couldn't stand the pitiful looks of the two little girls.

He smiled and reached out, taking out the remaining items from the package.

When Dabao saw that the package contained not only milk powder but also beef jerky, his eyes flashed with understanding.

My sister has no classmates or friends working in Meng City, so this beef jerky was most likely obtained by Mingbo.

Beef jerky can still be found in cities near Mengshi, but the conditions for transporting supplies are poor.

In cities farther away, it is not easy to eat beef jerky.

The last time he ate beef jerky was when he was on a business trip in Mengshi.

Unfortunately at that time, they were not able to mail and receive packages during the study.

When leaving Meng City, you are only allowed to take away the items you brought with you.

Erbao looked at the beef jerky in his hand and was also a little surprised.

He had only eaten this once at his father-in-law's house during the Chinese New Year.

It was an old comrade-in-arms of my father-in-law who worked in Meng City who mailed him a New Year gift.

I heard that my mother-in-law made the return gift with pure white flour.

Nowadays, cows are used to plow the fields. If a village has a cow, it is considered a valuable asset to the villagers.

Normally, it would be a blessing for several villages to have a cow to plow the land.

Normally, people can only eat beef when the cow dies naturally or accidentally.

The only places where you can still eat beef jerky at this time are probably Meng City and its surrounding cities.

"This beef jerky was a New Year gift mailed to him by his roommate at Mingbo University."

"Your sister should also mail ten kilograms of beef jerky to the Jiang family. There is no need to distribute the beef jerky at home."

"Usually, everyone should eat at home and not bring food to work."

Only after seeing the children nod their heads did Bai Ye hand the letter from his younger daughter to his eldest son.

Dabao took the letter and looked at it carefully.

When family members write letters to their little daughter, they write down everything they want to say together.

Every time the little girl received a letter from home, it was written in everyone's handwriting.

When the little girl wrote back, she would write down everything she wanted to say to her brother and sister-in-law in one letter.

Although, most of the talk was about trivial daily life and greetings.

Lin Hanyu and Bai Ye also let the children watch it by themselves.

She didn't care when her two sons would finish reading the letter.

Just put the last letter into the wooden box and keep it for her.

Lin Hanyu opened the beef jerky on the coffee table, which was sealed tightly with butter paper.

I don’t know if this is a unique way of packaging and storing things that only the people of Mengshi have.

This beef jerky is very fresh.

She opened a packet and shared it with the older and younger children in the family.

Everyone saw two little girls sitting on the sofa, biting beef jerky hard.

Recently, the sisters started to change their teeth, and their new teeth have not yet grown in.

The little baby teeth I used to have were not very powerful.

The family was worried that the beef jerky was too hard and would affect the alignment of their two granddaughters’ new teeth.

He quickly stopped them from biting the beef jerky.

Lin Hanyu reached out and took the beef jerky from their hands and handed it to his second daughter-in-law.

"Let mom cut the beef jerky into small pieces, and we'll eat it obediently."

The two little girls also obeyed and waited until they saw a plate of chopped beef jerky on the dining table.

Two identical pairs of beautiful big eyes, both with heart-warming smiles.

The two of them looked at the stewed pork in the eldest brother's bowl and felt that it didn't taste good.

At night, in the bedroom on the second floor.

Lin Manyu nestled in Bai Ye's arms, playing with his slender white fingers.

While talking about her, I relaxed in my space in the afternoon.

As she spoke, her hand movements gradually slowed down.

"Aye, if your unit is not busy."

“We can meet in the space while we’re at work.”

"Okay, I'll come into the space to find you tomorrow after I finish the work at hand."

Bai Ye held the person in his arms and kissed the restless little hand to his mouth.

There are very few large-scale construction projects in their design institute now.

Most design drawings do not take up too much time.

Sometimes, he, the deputy chief engineer, doesn't even need to draw the blueprints himself.

The following architectural designers can do it well.

Usually he sits in his own independent office, reading newspapers and drinking tea.

Now, Hanhan works alone in an office just like himself.

She also gradually became familiar with the section chief's daily work content.

It’s also nice for them to chat in space when they are not busy with work.

On the other side, Meng Xiaoou snuggled up to Dabao and reached out to touch her belly with anticipation.

Here, I don’t know how long it will take to conceive another child.

Now they don't use birth control products and are fully focused on having another child.

Hopefully this little guy will come sooner rather than later.

Dabao habitually strokes his wife's slender and fair waist.

He lowered his head and kissed the corner of her mouth.

"Wife, what are you thinking about?"

"Thinking about the housing allocation in our unit."

Meng Xiaoou came back to her senses and talked about the recent housing allocation in their unit.

She turned sideways and hugged Dabao's arm.

Find a comfortable position for yourself.

"Nowadays, no one will be easily transferred from their post. We work in an organization that values ​​seniority over others."

"It can't be compared with your research institute."

"This year marks the tenth year that our section chief has served as section chief."

"He transferred to our department in 1962, and it has been exactly ten years now."

"No one in the financial management department of the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications has retired or been transferred out of Beijing."

“It’s very difficult for him to get promoted.”

“It is even more impossible to transfer positions across departments.”

"Besides, even if I have the opportunity to be promoted in the future."

"When I get promoted, the company may not allocate housing to me."

"I see there isn't much vacant space in our unit's family compound."

"Last time we had dinner, I asked Dad about the usage of vacant land in Beijing."

"Dad said that it would be great if the existing land in each unit could be used well to benefit the employees."

"There are very few vacant lots left in our city, and their Urban Planning Administration Bureau can no longer approve land for companies to build houses."

"Our bureau is distributing housing this time, and I want to sign up."

"The housing for the bureau's cadres was designed and built by my father's design institute."

"It's the same house that Dad got."

"For section officers like me, housing will only be considered if there are vacancies for cadres."

"In order to provide housing for more people, the bureau also built several tube-shaped buildings."

"I will most likely be assigned one room, and I will have to share the kitchen and bathroom at home with everyone else."

"If you want to sign up, just sign up. Having one is better than having none."

"If we can really get a house, we will be like our parents now."

"Occasionally, I'll go and stay for a day or two. It's better than nothing."

"it is good."

When Meng Xiaoou heard Dabao say this, he felt relieved.

Many people in her workplace suggested that she wait a little longer, saying that she was a college graduate.

There will be many job opportunities in the future.

"Instead of being assigned to live in a tube-shaped building this time, it is better to wait a little longer."

Even her second sister looked down on the tube-shaped building.

I feel that by applying for a separate house this time, she is giving up the opportunity to get a bigger house in the future.

She thought about it and added to her father-in-law's words.

I still feel that I may not be able to get a big house in the future as I expect.

Most of the people around her have been working in the same position for more than ten years.

The water will only fluctuate when there are changes in the people above.

Except for meritorious military personnel or the top leaders of each department, there will be horizontal transfers between them.

It is not easy for the employees in the government agencies under them to achieve their wish of promotion.

The government is also more willing to employ some military officers who have retired and returned to the local area and have cultural knowledge.

As Meng Xiaoou thought about it, she became so sleepy that she couldn't open her eyes.

Before falling asleep completely, she reminded herself to submit her housing application to the bureau tomorrow.
