The couple made a living in the 1950s.

"Okay, let's work together."

The next evening, Lin Manyu returned to Siheyuan later than usual after work because he took the bus.

Passing by the Jiang family's door, she deliberately restrained herself from looking inside.

"grandmother……"

When Lin Hanyu entered the house and saw the children surrounding her, she was filled with joy from the bottom of her heart.

She changed her coat and sat on the sofa. Aye had already poured tea for her.

It's cold outside, and a sip of hot tea really warms you up.

The four youngest children in the family vied for her to hold them.

She hugged each of them and touched their little faces.

"Mom, my sister and Mingbo just returned to the military compound."

"Are they back because of Mingyu's matter?"

"Well, Mingyu's university admission letter is still intact, but I heard from his sister that he wants a divorce."

Lin Manyu tilted her head and looked at her second son who was feeding applesauce to her grandson.

"Is it Mingyu who wants to leave?"

"From what my sister said, his whole family supports Mingyu's divorce, and Mingyu himself wants to divorce."

"That's good too. It may be a blessing for Mingyu. Your sister will have one less sister-in-law to worry about."

"Why doesn't your sister live in the courtyard? She's going back so late."

"The two of them came here in a hurry, so they put them at my uncle's house."

Lin Hanyu nodded upon hearing this.

My daughter and her husband, along with their three children, basically return to the courtyard every Sunday. Sometimes they come back on Saturday night, and sometimes they come back on Sunday morning.

Let’s just not meet this time.

Time slips away little by little.

It's Sunday in the blink of an eye.

Lin Hanyu and Bai Ye went out early with their two daughters-in-law and the children to the musical instrument factory.

When they arrived at the entrance of the musical instrument factory, the young girl and her husband were already standing there with their three children.

They didn't waste any time and walked inside when they met each other.

Lin Hanyu was a little surprised that she didn't see Li Lanyu here, and turned her head to look at her little girl.

"Jing Ruo and Jing Yan, have you decided what to study at the Children's Palace?"

"Jingnuo learns the guzheng, and Jingyan learns the piano."

"My aunt was about to go out, and my uncle's old subordinate happened to come to our house to see my uncle."

"Aunt's money is with me. I will buy the pipa and piano for Jingnuo and Jingyan."

Lin Hanyu nodded. Given her elder brother and his wife’s personalities, they would definitely not prevent their children from learning a hobby.

When she didn't see Li Lanyu, she thought something had gone wrong.

They wasted no time, three pianos, a pipa, a guzheng and two violins.

Among them, a guzheng and two pianos were sent to the military compound.

A piano was sent to the courtyard house on Yandaixie Street.

Jiang Mingbo took Yu Ming's violin and went back to the military compound with the vehicle transporting the musical instruments.

Bai Ye also took his eldest granddaughter and the pipa and violin of the sixth child, A Jin, and took the piano-carrying truck back to the courtyard.

Lin Hanyu took the bus home with her daughter, daughter-in-law and children.

As soon as they entered the Jiang family's yard, they heard a lot of people talking in their own yard.

Lin Hanyu thought that bringing the piano back might cause a sensation in the courtyard.

It has been more than 30 years since their family moved into the courtyard house.

Few people except my in-laws and Meijia's family come into this small courtyard.

Even if other neighbors had something to say, they would usually talk about it outside the Moon Gate.

She opened the moon gate and looked at the neighbors standing in the yard, feeling a little uncomfortable for a moment.

"You are back from the Bai family. Your piano is a bit too expensive."

"You are really willing to spend money on your children. All the dolls in your house are golden dolls."

Lin Hanyu looked at Zhang Pandi who was standing in front of him and smiled faintly without saying a word.

She let her two daughters-in-law talk with the neighbors in the yard, and she found an excuse to change her clothes to go into the house and take a look at the piano.

This black piano is placed in the main living room and you can see it as soon as you enter the door.

It looks out of place when placed next to the old furniture in the room.

When the house in Yard No. 21 is renovated, she and Aye will move there.

By then, it will be a truly private house with its own yard. With so many rooms in the house, it will be enough for each of the children to live in when they come back.

There were people in the yard, so she couldn't stay in the house for too long.

The temperature was not high at that time, and Lin Hanyu saw that they had no intention of leaving.

Politely invited them all to come in and sit down.

Liu Guixiang, Li Guiqin, Wang Xianggui, Zhang Pandi and her daughter-in-law Li Caifeng.

Following Lin Hanyu's words, they walked into the living room. This was their first time entering the Bai family's house.

Although the furniture looks old, the room is really large.

Liu Guixiang felt a little envious when she thought that her family only had a room in the middle of the main house in the four-courtyard house.

The last time my son Liu Qiang brought his daughter-in-law Fu Xiaomei back, they only stayed at home for a few days before returning to the army.

It’s because there’s not even enough space for a separate room for the couple at home.

Lin Hanyu prepared tea for them according to etiquette.

I also took some melon seeds, peanuts and sugar-roasted chestnuts, put them on the coffee table and asked everyone to feel free.

At that time, every household had a ration of food, and peanuts could be pressed to produce oil.

No one felt comfortable eating more.

Li Caifeng kept looking at the piano with curiosity, ever since her husband Ding Rujia passed away under unclear circumstances.

She has been leading a dull life these years, and now the Gang of Four has been crushed.

She always felt that there was some hope in life.

Normally, Lin Manyu did not have any dealings with these neighbors.

The chat was not dull either.

Sanbao looked at his two sons, who were gathered around the piano with their brothers and sisters.

He waved the two children to come to his side and whispered in their ears where to go.

After saying hello to her mother, she left for her husband's house.

When she entered the room, He Baojie was sitting on the sofa, leisurely eating an apple.

Sanbao still can't understand why a woman would choose to give birth to a child for her husband before divorcing him.

Ruo Ruo, she wanted to rely on the birth of the child to make Mingyu promise not to divorce.

In her opinion, it is unlikely.

Later, she will accompany her grandmother and mother-in-law to take He Baojie to Xiehe Hospital for examination.

There is a baby in the belly, it can't just happen if she says so.

The neighbors in the house did not go home together until lunch time.

After Lin Hanyu sent them away, she was finally able to relax and lie on the sofa.

Her two daughters-in-law were preparing meals in the kitchen, so she didn't have to worry about them.

I still feel a little tired. It is the first time for me to talk for such a long time with so many unfamiliar people.

Bai Ye sat nearby, watching his wife lying there lazily.

He reached out and massaged her shoulders.

After lunch, Lin Hanyu went back to her bedroom to take a nap. When she went downstairs, she saw her little daughter sitting in the living room.

"Why do you look unwell?"

"Mingyu's wife wants to give birth to the baby in her belly, and grandma is a little embarrassed."

"Brother Mingbo is also getting angry."

"Does she really want to give birth?"

Lin Yu sat down next to her youngest daughter, raised her hand, picked up the magic lamp pot and poured herself some Lu'an Guapian.

"My grandmother and father-in-law value offspring, so if she really gives birth to a child, it will be a happy event for the family."

"It's just that grandma feels that she is too old and is afraid that she can't raise the child, and she doesn't trust grandma to raise the child."
