The couple made a living in the 1950s.

At this time, Sanbao and Jiang Mingbo, who were far away in Ning City, also took the opportunity to take their children to the department store on Sunday.

Usually, they take their children to buy things at the military service center.

I don't go to the department store in the city very often.

Sanbao held one son's hand while Jiang Mingbo held their little daughter Jiang Yuan, who would be three years old in two months.

Their family of five was standing at the grocery counter waiting for the salesperson to bring them plum cakes.

This plum blossom cake is a traditional dessert in Ning City. It has a beautiful appearance and a soft and non-greasy texture.

Sanbao fell in love with eating it not long after he came to Ning City.

Yu Bai, who was standing on the left side of his mother, seemed to suddenly think of something.

She stretched out her hand and touched the small bag on her body, but did not feel the envelope inside.

He tilted his head and looked at his brother who was standing on the other side of his mother.

My brother and I forgot to bring the letters we wrote to our grandparents.

Yuming met his brother's gaze and blinked, not understanding what was going on.

He tilted his head and thought for a while, then spoke in a baby voice.

"Brother, Mom just promised to buy Jinling soup dumplings and bring them home for us to eat."

When Yubai heard his brother say this, he reached out and held his hand.

"Brother, I forgot to bring the letter you wrote to grandma and grandpa."

After listening to his brother's words, Yuming nodded his head gently and sighed silently.

Looking at his brother's eyes, there was helplessness.

"Then we can only ask Dad to help us mail the letter to grandma's house."

Sanbao and Jiang Mingbo stood by and listened to their two sons talking.

No one said anything.

When these two children were two years old, they liked to speak one word at a time or two.

When he was a little over two and a half years old, he started to speak in long sentences.

Since then, they have had a lot of problems.

I have a lot of questions to ask them every day, and I am curious and worried about things at home.

Fortunately, most of these questions were also asked by Sanbao and his brothers to their parents when they were young.

Now her answer was logical and easy to give.

Because I wanted to find something for my two sons to do.

Jiang Mingbo started teaching them calligraphy at the age of four. He asked the brothers to write a diary every day and draw the words they didn't know.

When our family sends packages and letters to Beijing every month, we mail them together to show their grandparents.

This month, I mailed bedding and clothes for my home to Beijing.

My family did not mail the letters to Beijing as usual.

The diaries of these two little guys will be mailed to Beijing separately.

Now the eldest son forgot to bring the envelope containing his diary when he came to the city.

Just standing there with an unhappy look on his face.

"dad."

"Ok?"

When Jiang Mingbo heard his second son calling him dad, he shifted his gaze away from his eldest son.

He squatted down to look his two sons at eye level.

"Dad, please help me and my brother mail letters to grandma and grandpa."

"it is good."

Sanbao took the plum cake and turned around, and saw the four of them, father and son, gathered together and talking.

She took a few steps and came over to them.

"Go buy Jinling soup dumplings and come back."

"We still need to clean up the house. We will be returning to Beijing next month."

"Ah."

When Yubai and Yuming heard that they were going to buy Jinling soup dumplings, they had no time to think about anything else.

They took the lead and walked in front.

Jiang Mingbo held his little daughter in his arms, but his eyes were often on his two sons who were holding hands.

He heard the cheerfulness in his wife's voice, and he became happy too.

He had just received a transfer order to serve as the political commissar of a division in the Beijing Military Region.

From now on, Qingshu and I will live in the Beijing Military District compound.

I live in the same compound with my uncle's family.

A few days passed slowly like this.

Aunt Jiang was at home and received bedding and clothes mailed back by her eldest grandson and his wife.

I was so happy that I personally helped them tidy up the bedroom and hang out the bedding to dry.

They can move in directly when their family returns to Beijing.

Mingyu has been married for all these years but has not been able to have a child.

This time, the only three grandchildren in the family are finally going back to Beijing to live with her.

She felt indescribably happy.

When her granddaughter Yu'an was born, she was the one who decided on her name.

"Yu'an" comes from "Xie Zhang Zhige Shi Nanhu Bian" by Xiang Anshi, a poet of the Song Dynasty.

"Words are more stable when they are fresh, and they become more surprising when they are ordinary."

It means that when you encounter difficulties and challenges, you should maintain a stable mentality and firm belief, so that you can overcome the difficulties smoothly.

As for that little girl, until now, the family has only seen her photo.

She was a pretty, lovely little girl, just like her mother.

Every time Aunt Jiang thought of her grandchildren, she couldn't help but worry about her second grandson.

The boy has been married for several years but still hasn't had a child. As a grandmother, she is really anxious.

She is already seventy-three years old. Half a year ago, Li Lanying's mother-in-law Zhang Daya, who lived in the back house, passed away.

I am the oldest person in this courtyard.

Sometimes, she was afraid of falling asleep and never waking up.

I didn’t have time to see my second grandson have offspring.

Aunt Jiang was thinking about her second grandson's wife, who had been trying to stand out in the family in recent years.

He was also a little disappointed, because it wasn't all bad for his second grandson to not have children.

Seeing that society is becoming more and more clear, she doesn't want to be too obsessed with many things.

Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren.

Today is Sunday, and Lin Hanyu and Bai Ye did not go to the scrap collection station as usual.

Instead, he went out early and walked towards the street office.

When they entered the room and saw Wang Lai Di on duty, they didn't feel comfortable enough to just leave.

"Uncle Bai, Auntie Yu."

"How did you get here?"

When Wang Lai Di saw Lin Hanyu and Bai Ye coming over, she smiled and asked them to sit on the sofa, then stood up and poured them jasmine tea.

Their street office doesn't have much good tea, but they can have as much of the high-foam tea that old Beijingers like.

She graduated that year, thanks to Auntie Yu's advice.

Her mother mustered up the courage to send some food to the leader in charge of allocating work.

Soon after, she surpassed many high school graduates of the same year to get a job at the street office.

She and her mother have always been grateful for this incident.

But over the years, no one in Aunt Yu's family has asked for my help.

"Auntie Yu, why did you want to come to the neighborhood office?"

"Now that private housing transactions are allowed, your uncle Bai and I want to buy a few houses."

"I thought if someone comes to the street office to register the sale of a house, you can show us the house."

"It doesn't matter what room it is."

"It would be best if it were a courtyard house or a storefront facing the street."

"Other houses will do."

After hearing this, Wang Lai Di couldn't help but look relieved.

This is not a difficult matter for her, she just needs to follow the procedures.

"Auntie Yu, Uncle Bai, please wait a moment."

"I'll go get the register."

"it is good."

Lin Hanyu watched her turn around and walk into the inner room, then looked away and leisurely sat on a chair with Bai Ye, drinking jasmine tea.

No one said much.

Another person on duty at the street office was sitting at a desk not far from them.

I think I can hear them talking clearly, but Aye and I don’t care about it right now.

At present, the policy allows private individuals to buy and sell houses freely without any purchase restrictions.

When it comes to buying a house, she doesn't care what others think.
