The couple made a living in the 1950s.

"Over the years, our three families haven't had a meal together."

"Now, when I think about how Lin Ai's brother took Fang Xu and Ming Yu away without their consent, I still find it a little unbelievable."

"Fortunately, they are just Uncle Mingbo's family. Mingbo is not a stupid kid."

"Mingbo's grandmother and father both know how to protect their son."

"Otherwise, considering Lin Ai's confused behavior back then, I really wouldn't feel comfortable letting our little girl marry into their family."

Bai Ye sat there, listening carefully to what his wife said.

After she finished speaking, he took her hand and went to the bathroom to wash up.

While washing her face, Lin Hanyu was thinking about what they should bring to the Jiang family on Sunday.

It can’t be too outstanding, nor can the Lin family be outshined by the He family.

Thinking of the Jiang family, she couldn't help but think of the gold bricks in her space.

Mingbo's grandmother didn't mention this matter, and her youngest daughter and son-in-law didn't mention the gold bricks either.

The special period has passed, and she has been holding the property passed down from her son-in-law's family.

I always feel a little awkward.

"Hanhan, wait for your daughter to report to the city government and start working."

"Let's go back to Yang City and see if we can get the old house back."

Lin Hanyu was lost in thought. When she heard this, she tilted her head slightly and looked at the man next to her.

“If the old house can be returned, our old house should be able to come back as well.”

"My family is in the country, and there are only two families left, my brother and sister."

"If the old house can really be returned, it will be a memory for us."

The two of them were in the bedroom, talking while changing into pajamas as usual.

"There has been no news about the house in the past few days."

“I don’t know when I can buy three more courtyard houses.”

"No rush, we'll buy a house in Beijing when we get back from Yang City."

"Yes, when I retire next year, I will go to Shen City to see if I can buy a few old houses."

"In the future, our family will have a place to stay in Shen City."

"Okay, I'll do whatever you want."

Bai Ye thought that he still had eight years before retirement, and felt a little regretful that he couldn't go out with his wife.

"Then on the nights when you're not home, we can sleep together in the space."

Lin Hanyu lay on the bed with her eyes closed, not knowing why he brought up this.

Nodding in confusion,

She sleeps very well at night now and falls asleep after lying down for a while.

On the other side, Lin Ai's parents' home was not as calm as hers. Lin Sen had a dark face.

Ever since he was fired from the Dahonglou Restaurant that year, he has been working as a temporary worker in a cotton mill.

It was only after Jiang Jiadong helped to pass on the message that this temporary worker went to work in the factory.

He also understood the Jiang family's thoughts. They were simply afraid that since he had no job, his sister would secretly support him and spend the Jiang family's money.

Lin Sen turned sideways and looked at the woman lying next to him. Li Erya was a noisy person.

Who knows, one day in the future, this may become their family’s luck.

Before that, he asked his sister to let Mingyu give his job in the state-owned hotel to his eldest son Baosheng.

The two families began to have some contact again.

My sister had been teaching students in an elementary school. At that time, he was so horrible that he brought trouble to his family.

After their family and the Jiang family completed the work handover procedures for Mingyu and their eldest son, the idea of ​​frequent contact gradually faded.

Since 1966, their family has never taken advantage of the Jiang family.

Their family members all have Beijing household registration and are provided with rationed food.

Life at home is not difficult.

Now, Jiang Jiadong personally invited them to his home for dinner on Sunday.

He had to think some more.

At this moment, at the Jiang family's courtyard on Yandaixie Street.

Sanbao and Jiang Mingbo have not gone to bed yet.

Jiang Mingbo held his little daughter in his arms, who he had just coaxed to sleep, and gently placed her on the crib.

He turned around and saw his wife, staring at the mutton-fat white jade bracelet on her wrist.

He stood up, walked over quietly, sat next to her and looked at her.

"What are you thinking about?"

"This bracelet is so beautiful. My grandma gave it to my mom and now she gives it to me."

"After all the twists and turns, it's still on my wrist."

Jiang Mingbo was happy to see that she liked the bracelet. He put his arm around her and they lay on the bed together.

The three children were all asleep, so it was a good time for the couple to talk.

"Where are we going to play tomorrow?"

"Brother, I still have one day to rest. I want to take the kids to eat at Donglaishun and then come back."

"Yuan is too young and always needs to be carried when we go outside."

"It would be tiring to go to a place farther away."

"You might as well take a good rest at home."

“Once I get to work, I’ll be busy with work.”

"Um…"

Sanbao listened to his words, turned sideways and snuggled into his arms, closed his eyes and said nothing more.

In a few days, she will go back to the military compound to go to work.

The three children in the family were sent to military kindergartens and nurseries as before.

Let them play with other kids of the same age in the army.

As for the incident in the living room just now where my sister-in-law kept glancing at the bracelet on her wrist.

Just keep it in mind.

As the night deepened, every household in the courtyard had turned off the lights and gone to sleep.

The entire courtyard became increasingly quiet.

I don’t know whose new rooster was raised in the front yard, but it started crowing at just five o’clock.

Lin Hanyu reluctantly turned over and continued to sleep.

Bai Ye noticed that she was leaving him, so he stretched out his arms and pulled her into his arms.

The corner of his lips was pressed against her ear.

"It's still early, don't worry and sleep a little longer..."

Time flies, today is Sunday.

At this time, Lin Hanyu and Bai Ye were sitting in the living room at home watching their eldest son pack food into a cloth bag to take to Mingbo's house.

Two pounds of White Rabbit milk candy, two bottles of canned yellow peaches, two cans of milk powder and two pounds of taro cake.

These delicacies are not fancy but they show your thoughtfulness.

Before this, their family had never had a meal together with the He family and the Lin family.

Today is the first time.

There are 23 people in their family and the Jiang family, plus the old lady of the Lin family, Lin Sen and Li Erya, their two sons, their wives, and the children at home.

Plus the He family.

This time, the Jiang family will host a dinner for forty or fifty people.

They lived nearby, so after tidying up the house, Lin Hanyu and Bai Ye came over with the children early.

When Li Fanglei and Meng Xiaoou arrived at Jiang's house, they took the initiative to go into the kitchen to help.

In the kitchen, there were Lin Ai, her little daughter, her two daughters-in-law, and Mingyu's wife, all cooking together.

Lin Manyu stayed in the living room on her own initiative and played with her grandson and granddaughter.

She sat on the sofa, tilted her head to look at Aunt Jiang sitting next to her and slightly raised the corner of her mouth.

Grandma Mingbo is seventy-three years old this year, and she is still in good health.

He is considered a long-lived person in this courtyard.

"Hanyu, I heard from Jiadong that he will be able to process your retirement procedures next year."

"In our quadrangle, quite a few people are going to step down this time."

"After the college entrance examination, all the educated youth from the countryside who didn't get into college in Beijing will have to think about how to get home."

"By then, it will be difficult for everyone to arrange their work."

"Yes, to be honest, I am reluctant to take off that military uniform."
