The couple made a living in the 1950s.

Bai Ye checked the door lock before lying down next to his wife.

"Let's put the martyr certificates in the space first."

"We'll take it out after liberation when the class divisions are made."

"Now is the time of power transition, and it is normal for the population of each city to move around a lot."

Upon hearing this, Lin Manyu snuggled into Bai Ye's arms.

“We are the children of martyrs and the children of capitalists.”

"When grandpa was alive, there were distant relatives who came to our house every year to celebrate his birthday. It would be troublesome if they couldn't figure it out during special periods."

Bai Ye gently hugged the person in his arms.

“This is what might happen to us in 20 years.”

"The worst-case scenario is that our whole family enters the space first."

“I’ll find an opportunity to come out and live somewhere where there’s no one.

“The children are related to both of us and can be brought into the space.”

“By 1977, we were already in our s.”

"In this life, you can't choose to spend the best years of your life in frustration."

Lin Hanyu listened to Bai Ye's deep voice and nestled in his arms with peace of mind.

Close your eyes.

"I don't know if the rest of the family will be safe by then."

Bai Ye felt his wife's emotions.

He lowered his head slightly and kissed her gently again and again.

"You just worry too much during pregnancy. I'm responsible for everything."

Lin Hanyu and Bai Ye were holding a cloth bag in their hands to cover up the space.

There are not many people who can afford to live in sleeper berths nowadays.

The two of them got on the train smoothly.

At this moment, the two of them were sitting in a compartment on the Pinghan Line train.

They ate dumplings while staring at each other.

A middle-aged couple lived on the upper bunk.

It's more or less inconvenient.

Everything went smoothly on the train and we should have arrived in Beijing in 48 hours.

However, even if it was an hour late, it did not affect Lin Manyu's good mood.

The sky is crystal blue. This is the old city that has never been polluted by chemical industry.

Lin Hanyu happily took Bai Ye's arm and strolled along the street looking for a hotel.

As the two walked, Bai Ye noticed that the expression on his wife's face gradually became stiff.

He tried hard to suppress his smile, and Lin Hanyu saw that there were not many people around.

She quickly jumped into Bai Ye's arms and let Bai Ye hold her and jog through the garbage dump.

She looked at Bai Ye who was trying to hold back his laughter, and pinched his waist angrily.

"Why didn't you remind me that there are still garbage dumps everywhere in Sijiu City?"

Bai Ye, holding his wife's hand, explained in a low voice.

"I was also shocked just now, although I knew there was a garbage dump in the city at this time.

"But I certainly didn't expect that the streets would be filled with garbage."

After Bai Ye finished speaking, he couldn't help but smile bitterly and raised his hand to rub his forehead.

Lin Hanyu is in a bad mood at the moment.

Along the way, there is the joy of settling down.

Let her ignore the sanitary environment of Beijing during this period.

The layout of the old Sijiu City was originally "inner nine, outer seven, and imperial city four".

This number refers to the city gate.

There are nine gates in the inner city and seven gates in the outer city, which are well planned and each has its own function.

After the people of small towns took over Beijing, the bad habit of "dumping garbage along the city walls" was formed.

The Yuan Party, which will soon take over Beijing, will also continue this bad habit.

In the hotel, Lin Hanyu was the same as before.

After closing the door and entering the house, he took out his own sheets and quilts from the space and made the bed.

This time, the hotel they stayed in was better than before.

There is a separate bathroom in the house.

She waved her hand, and the leek and meat dumplings that had been prepared in the space appeared on the table, steaming hot.

After the two of them had finished their meal, Bai Ye walked with her around the house for a while before they rested.

Bai Ye was lying on the bed, and couldn't help but lower his head and gently kiss his wife's white and delicate forehead.

Then he looked up at her.

"Hanhan, now we can still buy a fish for 100 French francs."

“By next year, one hundred French francs will only be able to buy one egg.”

"Aye, then we have to spend the French currency quickly."

Lin Hanyu was feeling sleepy at the moment, and his voice was soft.

Her eyes were wide open.

"Aye, before Xiaozi completely leaves Beijing, you must take me with you when you go out."

"I will panic if I can't see you."

Bai Ye looked at his young wife who rarely showed her strong side in front of him.

He hugged her tighter, "Okay, I'll take you wherever I go."

The next day, the two went out early.

Follow the address of the housing management office that I got from the hotel front desk.

At this time, most of the residences in Beijing were courtyard houses.

The Housing Management Office is also in the alley.

When they arrived at the Housing Authority, there were two staff members in the office.

Bai Ye took out two silver dollars from his pocket.

Placed on one of their desks.

"Want to buy a house."

The staff member looked up at Bai Ye before putting away the silver dollars on the table.

Look at Bai Ye.

“Now, there are three houses for sale near Houhai.”

"There are two on Yandaixie Street and one on Yaer Hutong. Which one do you want to see?"

As he spoke, he stood up and walked out.

When Lin Hanyu and Bai Ye heard the address of the house, they looked at each other silently.

Follow the staff out.

Bai Ye smiled and looked at the staff, "We want to look at the single-family homes first."

The staff member bowed his head and thought for a while.

Then he looked up at Bai Ye.

"There is a building at the back of the east side of the courtyard. Once a door is installed, it can be used as a separate courtyard."

"Except for this one, all other houses registered with the Housing Authority are single rooms in courtyard houses."

Bai Ye nodded slightly when he heard that.

"Well, let's take a look at the building behind the east wing first."

The three people walked towards Yandaixie Street while talking.

The staff of the Housing Management Office turned and looked at Bai Ye.

"This house was originally the property of a prince of the previous dynasty."

"In the past, the royal family liked to come to Houhai to escape the heat in the summer."

"The whole courtyard has five courtyards and east and west cross courtyards. After the fall of the previous dynasty, the house passed through several owners."

"There are more than 200 people living there now, some are homeowners and some are tenants."

Having said that, he looked at the notebook in his hand again and continued.

“When this house was built, there was no special back garden.”

"The rear building of the east wing was not built according to tradition like the rear buildings of the main courtyard and the west wing."

"Instead, it was built into a small garden, and a rear building was built in the small garden."

When Lin Hanyu heard this, she couldn't help but secretly hold Bai Ye's hand.

Feeling her little movement, Bai Ye slightly raised the corners of his lips.

As the three of them were talking, they came to Yandaixie Street.

The first thing you see is the Guangliang gate. This is a courtyard house facing north and south.

Even now, one can still vaguely see the grandeur and exquisiteness of that time.

The gate of the courtyard opens to the southeast-southeast. The wind in the city is northwest in winter and southeast in summer.

It's most comfortable to live here with the door open.

In summer, the southeast wind blows, which makes the room cool and airy. The northwest is closed, so the northwest wind cannot blow in in winter, which keeps the room warm.

This is the practical experience passed down by generations.

The three of them didn't say anything else and walked straight into the yard. As they entered the door, they saw the back house of the main courtyard of the quadrangle.

Passing through the hanging flower gates leading to each courtyard of the main courtyard, you will arrive at the back room of the main courtyard.

The staff of the Housing Management Office took Bai Ye and his wife and continued to walk east.

Pass through the moon gate and enter the small garden.

"This rear building and small garden occupy the area of ​​two courtyards in the east wing."

"The three courtyards in front of the east wing are one family. People around here said that after Xiao Ri surrendered, his family members never showed up again."

Bai Ye looked at the scene in front of him. There was a dilapidated two-story building sitting in the bare yard.

He walked around the second floor and turned to look at the staff of the Housing Management Office.

"The roof is leaking, the walls are leaking, this house is uninhabitable now."
