The couple made a living in the 1950s.

The previous few times, they both found the pearls and hairpins in the wood and furniture compartments.

The scrap collection station is not very large, and I had already looked through the furniture and wood in the three rooms at lunch time.

Lin Hanyu glanced at Bai Ye with a smile, and he met the gaze of his wife.

He stood up and walked with her to where the broken porcelain was placed.

Wait for them to come out with a pile of waste paper to weigh it, just like they did before.

It's already two o'clock in the afternoon.

Lin Yu touched his hungry stomach and didn't know what to eat when he got home in the evening.

The two of them walked out of the scrapyard and found a dead end a little way away.

While there was no one around, they went into the space together and put on the clothes they had taken off on the way here.

Then I took the bus to the department store.

Most people have a day off today, so there are quite a few people shopping in the department stores.

As soon as Lin Hanyu and Bai Ye entered the door, they went straight to the bicycle counter on the second floor.

The counters on the second floor selling bicycles, watches, sewing machines, radios and men's and women's ready-made wardrobes are much quieter than those on the first floor.

When the two of them went upstairs, they saw a few people scattered in front of the counter, chatting with the salesperson behind the counter.

Most of the salespeople were gathered together talking.

Lin Hanyu walked to the place where bicycles were sold, where women's bicycles of the Forever and Phoenix brands were placed next to each other.

As she was looking at the cars and thinking about which one to choose, a young woman in her thirties came over and stood next to her.

"Look at the bicycles."

"Ah."

Lin Hanyu looked up at her, only to find that her eyes were looking through her at A Ye who was standing next to her.

Bai Ye noticed the gaze on his face and looked down at his wife.

Which brand do you like?

"how much is this?"

The saleswoman herself felt a little embarrassed when she saw that Lin Manyu was referring to Forever brand bicycles.

Turning to look at her, "This Forever card is 160 yuan and a bicycle ticket."

"What about this?"

"This Phoenix brand is 170 yuan, plus a bicycle ticket."

"I want this Phoenix brand."

As Lin Hanyu was speaking, she took out 170 yuan and a bicycle ticket from her handbag (actually her space) and handed them to the saleswoman.

"Let's go home and eat. We're all a little hungry since we didn't eat lunch."

Bai Ye carried the bicycle and walked behind Lin Manyu, and the two went downstairs.

Lin Hanyu ran towards the grocery area, whispering to Bai Ye who was pushing a bicycle beside her.

"Let's buy four bottles of canned yellow peaches and two bags of White Rabbit milk candies."

"The little ones at home will be unhappy if they know that we didn't buy them any snacks when we went to the department store."

"okay."

Bai Ye stood still and did not follow Lin Hanyu to the supplementary food area.

He was pushing a bicycle and it was inconvenient for him to go any further.

At this moment, near evening, there are far fewer people in the department store than before.

Otherwise, he should have waited outside with the cart.

Bai Ye stood there, and everyone's eyes seemed to be looking at the bicycle in his hand.

At this time, it was difficult to find the receipts for the three major items.

For each unit, it would be great if they could achieve one or two bill targets every year.

Everyone has to wait in line.

Now, there are quite a few staff members in government agencies and state-owned units.

Especially many large state-owned factories, which have thousands of employees.

For some people, the three major bills are not paid until they retire.

The bicycles my family bought before were never used with bicycle tickets.

Now, Bai Ye felt the gazes from people around him and just wanted to go home quickly.

Over the years, even though we know that no one in Beijing knows them.

Deep down in his heart, he was still cautious.

Bai Ye was riding a 26-frame ladies' bicycle and was a little constrained from stretching her legs.

Lin Manyu sat in the back seat, looking at the sunset sky.

The rich colors illuminate the horizon, with a gorgeous transition from light pink to bright pink.

The Beijing city in April is always fascinating.

She tilted her head slightly to look at the man riding the bike carrying her, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

At this time, I couldn't even hug his waist.

When Lin Hanyu and Bai Ye returned to the courtyard, every household was preparing dinner.

Originally, Zhang Mei was sitting on a small stool at the door washing diapers.

I saw the two of them pushing a ladies' bicycle in and washed my hands again.

Walk towards them.

When Lin Hanyu saw her, he took a few quick steps forward and held her hand.

Over the years, I, my sister-in-law, Qiulan and Guiying have gotten together every month.

No one was absent unless there was something special.

She kept in touch with her college roommates who worked in other provinces.

Every year we send each other New Year gifts by mail.

On the contrary, they see Meimei and Meijia, who are closest to them, almost every day.

However, there is not much time to sit together and talk and drink tea.

"Who told me and Mika last time that this day has changed so suddenly?"

"You can still ride that old bicycle of yours for another ten years."

"You said it was a broken bicycle, but I can still ride it."

Zhang Mei looked at her friend who was in high spirits in front of her.

I couldn't help but raise my hand and touch her face.

Her little face has remained as beautiful as ever ten years ago.

This friend's beauty has always been quite aggressive.

Everyone was wearing gray clothes, but she was always the first one to be spotted in the crowd, bright and dazzling.

Ever since she and Meijia started using the vanishing cream made by Hanyu, her skin looks seven or eight years younger than her peers.

Now, it is not time to take out the vanishing cream every month.

She and Meijia prepared two yuan early and gave it to Hanyu.

Spending two yuan a month can make themselves eight years younger than women of the same age, which is a great fortune for them.

"Go home early to eat."

"Well, let's go."

Lin Hanyu gently patted Zhang Mei's hand that was touching her face, turned around and walked home with Bai Ye.

What Zhang Mei didn't know was that the reason why Lin Manyu remained as young as ever for ten years was because of this.

Not only does she use skin care products she makes herself, but also the secret recipes of health-preserving soups passed down from her ancestors.

Lin Yu drank this nourishing soup every day from the age of two until she was ten.

Her son-in-law and his two siblings also drank the health-promoting soup until they were ten years old.

Now, her two little granddaughters have been drinking the health-preserving soup every day for almost five years.

No one could figure out the great use of this soup, and they just thought it was an ordinary secret recipe passed down in the family for maintaining good health.

When they returned to their own yard, the eldest daughter-in-law and the second daughter-in-law were cooking dinner together in the kitchen.

Lin Hanyu pushed her bicycle into the living room and her two little granddaughters surrounded her.

"Grandpa and grandma, please buy something delicious for me, my sister and my brother."

"Well, take a look."

Bai Ye put the handbag she was carrying on the round table.

The two little guys climbed onto the round stool, opened their handbags and saw canned yellow peaches and White Rabbit milk candies inside.

Smiling with tiny teeth showing.

Lin Hanyu glanced at his eldest son who was sitting on the sofa and showed no interest in his newly bought bicycle.

Walk over and sit next to him.

"Mom, you haven't washed your hands yet."

"Didn't you tell us since we were little that the first thing to do when we come home is to wash our hands?"

When Lin Hanyu saw his eldest son like this, he raised his hand and hit him hard twice.

This guy did it on purpose.

"Mom, mom, mom, let's talk nicely."

A'yun and Yiyi saw their uncle holding their grandmother's hand and smiling.

Clap your hands happily.

When Bai Ye came out of the bathroom after washing his hands, he saw a commotion in the living room.

"Where's your brother?"

"Sleep in his room."

Dabao stretched out his hand to block his mother's hand and turned to look at his father.

Bai Ye nodded when he heard this and glanced at his granddaughters who were walking towards the kitchen to get bowls of canned yellow peaches.

Sit next to your wife.

Now my second son works the night shift and cannot sleep on the small bed in the clinic.

I can only sleep on the table.

In the kitchen on the other side, Li Fanglei placed two bent bowls in the hands of her daughters.

"Go wake up dad to eat first."

"Is it okay to eat canned food after dinner?"

"okay."

A'yun and Yiyi took another look at the sweet and sour pork that their aunt was making in the pot next to them.

Then they happily walked out, holding their bowls.

Lin Hanyu looked at her granddaughter and walked towards the east wing while planning to tickle her father later.

She withdrew her gaze and looked at the bent-waist bowl that the two little ones had placed on the coffee table.

He reached out and piled them together, then stood up and put them on the round table.

After dinner, Lin Manyu took advantage of the fact that her children and grandchildren were sitting under the awning in the yard to talk.

A man went upstairs to the bedroom and closed the curtains.

He turned on the light next to the desk and took out the ingredients and herbs he wanted to use to make a nourishing soup for his eldest grandson.

There are precious medicinal materials as well as affordable food ingredients here.

Some of them were left to them by their parents, while others were stored in large quantities in the space by themselves during the Republic of China period.

There are a total of seventy-two medicinal ingredients, some of which are in conflict with each other and some are not, some are mutually restraining and some are not.

The subtlety of this is such that it is not an ancient prescription that can be prescribed by an ordinary top-notch traditional Chinese medicine practitioner.

The health-preserving soup passed down from my mother's family has different recipes for men and women.

Ever since her three children were two years old, she would always make a large pot of soup, one for boys and one for girls, and secretly store them in her space.

Feed them three every day, and after they finish a big pot, boil it again.

She had started making the recipe for the girls when her two granddaughters were two years old and gave it to them to drink every day.

Now, when her two sons have turned ten years old, she no longer prepares health-preserving soup for boys.

Starting tonight, I will brew it again and give it to my eldest grandson until he turns ten.

When she went downstairs to the kitchen with the herbs, Bai Ye had already washed a large casserole and was waiting for her.

Lin Hanyu placed the 72 medicinal ingredients and mineral water in the space according to the proportions.

He glanced down at the watch on his wrist to check the time.

This health-preserving soup needs to be cooked for half an hour longer than the one for girls.

It will take two hours to cook.

Outside under the awning, Erbao and Li Fanglei were holding a bowl of nourishing soup for their two daughters respectively.

Feed them one spoonful at a time.

Ah Heng looked at the warm water his sisters were drinking, then looked at the warm water he was drinking.

There was confusion in his big eyes.

Dabao looked at his son's cute appearance and reached out to touch his little head.

"Don't worry, Grandpa and grandma will also make soup for us Ah Heng."

"Wow wow wow..."

He had just withdrawn his big hand from touching his son when his nephew lying in the stroller next to him woke up and started crying.

Dabao glanced at his younger brother who was unable to open his hands, walked over, picked up his nephew and coaxed him.

"Ajin, I'm your great uncle."

He held the soft little ball in his arms and reached out to touch his little hand.

In the evening, Lin Manyu and his family sat in the living room.

Dabao felt anxious as he looked at his son who looked sleepy.

There was still one third of the health-preserving soup left in the bowl in his hand.

The health-preserving soup cooked by their parents tastes delicious, and they and their siblings have been drinking it since they were young.

Wait, this little guy won’t be too sleepy and won’t want to continue drinking.

The whole family watched the two-year-old baby drink up the nourishing soup in a daze.

Then they washed up and went back to sleep.

In the bedroom on the second floor, Lin Manyu continued applying the beauty cream on her hands as she turned around and looked at Bai Ye who was leaning against the head of the bed reading a manuscript.

"I will live in the courtyard from now on, and I will continue to be the same as before."

"After get off work, I used the coal stove on the second floor of the east wing to pretend to make nourishing soup for the children."

"We started brewing it too late today, and by the end, Ah Heng was so sleepy that he didn't want to drink it."

"Also, we'll stay at the family compound tomorrow and the night after tomorrow."

"Remember to remind me to leave a day's worth of nourishing soup tomorrow morning."

"okay."

Bai Ye looked up and saw that his wife was in a daze.

He gently put down the manuscript and looked at her.

"Hanhan?"

Lin Hanyu raised her eyes and looked into his.

"When A-Yun and Yi-Yi didn't live with us, the weather was still very cold."

"We can freeze the health-promoting soup outside and let our sons heat it up for them when they get home from get off work."

"In the past two months, the health-preserving soup has barely kept its quality even if it is placed in cold water for a short period of time."

"It's getting hotter and hotter."

"The children's health-preserving soup can only be taken out of the space and drunk directly."

"Otherwise, it will definitely go bad."

"I thought that we would stay in the family building for a day and then come back the day after tomorrow."

"After that, I fed the three children health soup every Sunday morning."

"Let's stay at the family building for one night."

"I'll go back to the courtyard after get off work on Monday."

"At other times, we don't live in the family building."

"No matter what, the children in the family should not stop eating this nourishing soup for a single day before they are ten years old."

"After they are ten years old, other common health-preserving recipes will be given."

"We should also feed them nourishing food from time to time, just like their father and aunt did when they were young."

"The comrades in your unit also know that Jin was born not long ago."

"It's normal for the two of us to live in a crowded house in order to take care of our grandson."

The more Lin Hanyu talked about it, the more feasible it seemed to him.

Now when each unit registers the housing situation of its employees, they only register the number of houses under their name.

No unit will dig deep into the housing area.

People in A Ye's design institute thought that his family lived in a slum just like most other families when they heard that their family lived in a slum.

The whole family lives together.

I wish you all a happy Mid-Autumn Festival, family reunion and happiness.

Author: My dear friends, thank you for reading my novel.

I don't have permission to post pictures.

Because I am not familiar with the Tomato system, I didn’t think of posting pictures in the comments before.

Now, the structural diagrams of the male and female protagonists’ homes are published in the chapter reviews of Chapter 5, Chapter 6, Chapter 7, and Chapter 8 respectively.

Readers who are interested can go back and take a look.
