The couple made a living in the 1950s.

When the two men arrived at the third courtyard of the main yard with flashlights, many neighbors were already gathered there.

The three-courtyard area in front of my house was allocated to the machinery factory, and the woman who was previously relocated from the Eight Great Hutongs lived there.

The remaining residents are all workers in the machinery factory.

On the west wing, the five rooms including the main house in the third courtyard and the back wing are private houses.

The other rooms belong to the cotton mill, where the factory workers live.

On the contrary, the five courtyards in the main courtyard are all houses bought by the families who moved in earlier years.

Li Guili's family has a private room in the third courtyard, which includes a west wing and a half rooms connected to the west wing.

Not only Li Guili and Wang Shufang live in this one and a half room.

The families of their eldest son and youngest son also live there. More than a dozen people, young and old, are squeezed into this one and a half rooms in the house.

Although the room area is larger than that of the traditional courtyard house.

But it can't withstand the large population.

Now that the educated youth have returned to the city, Li Guili's third daughter, Li Fangqiu, has divorced and returned from Lanzhou, Gansu Province with her son.

There were suddenly two more people in the family, and there wasn't enough living space, so quarrels occurred from time to time.

Zhang Mei and Liu Meijia saw Lin Manyu and pushed through the crowd to come to her side.

"What's going on? Why are you arguing at this time?"

"It seems to be because Fangqiu's son ate an extra piece of sweet potato."

"Have Fangqiu and the child been registered?"

"I heard from Lai Di that when they passed by the street office, she saw with her own eyes that the mother and son's household registration was completed."

"Then she can get her quota next month. Why is her sister-in-law so anxious?"

Liu Meijia saw that Lin Hanyu and Zhang Mei both looked puzzled.

Holding their hands, I walked to the other side where there were fewer people.

"Fang Qiu married a local farmer in the village where she went to work."

"She divorced her husband in the village so that she could return to Beijing and register as a resident."

"It's not that the relationship is bad."

"This one and a half rooms of Li Guili's family are private property. Li Zhijia and Zhang Cuiping, as the eldest sons, will inherit the house of their elders in the future."

"Li Zhiping and Sun Cui felt that since they both had sons, they should have half of the house."

"Over the years, the two brothers have been living together because they couldn't get a house in the factory."

"There is also the reason that I want to fight for the house of my elderly family members."

"They have four brothers and sisters. The second one, Li Fangchun, is married and lives in her own home."

"The third child, Li Fangqiu, is in the countryside."

"The only ones left at home are the eldest brother, Li Zhijia, and the youngest brother, Li Zhiping."

"There are suddenly two more people living in the house, and they may not want to accept it for a while."

"If the educated youth want to return to the city, they have to check the household registration of their entire family. How did Li Fangqiu get the household registration?"

Lin Hanyu was a little confused and looked at Liu Meijia.

"The whole family would quarrel every three to five days. I vaguely heard that it was Li Fangqiu who took advantage of their absence."

"Break the door lock, go in and find the household registration to apply for residence."

"During this period, there were more than one family in our alley that had fallen out because of the educated youth returning to the city."

"She does things cleanly and efficiently."

"It was also because they had no confidence in her family. When she went to the countryside in 69, Li Guili and Wang Shufang did nothing to help her."

"When her younger brother Li Zhiping graduates and faces going to the countryside, her mother will step down and let him take over."

As soon as Zhang Mei finished speaking, shouting and cursing came from Li Guili's house again.

The words this brother used to scold his sister and nephew were really unpleasant to hear.

It was getting darker and darker, and there was constant noise in Li Guili's house.

The temperature was low at night, and Lin Hanyu lost interest after watching for a while.

She saw Bai Ye still standing in the same place, so she walked towards him.

"Aye, I'm going home first."

"I'll go back with you."

Zhang Mei and Liu Meijia, seeing that Lin Manyu and his wife were about to go home, ignored them.

The two people stood together and watched with great interest.

"Is it possible that Li Ze and Ding Qiang are afraid to leave the house after get off work these days?"

Bai Ye looked at his wife's smiling eyes, smiled and reached out to hold her hand.

"They are two people, one is a section chief in the Public Security Bureau and the other is a director in the police station."

"If they really encounter a quarrel between two families in the alley, it would be awkward whether the two of them intervene or not."

"Neighborhood affairs, if there is a unit, should be mediated by their respective units. If there is no unit, report it to the street office."

"If we go straight to the police station, the situation will become very serious."

When the two of them came home, the children were watching the news in the living room.

"Your mother and I were thinking, why don't you all live in the house allocated by your company for the time being?"

"Most of the educated youth who have returned to the city now have no housing, and you don't often live in the houses you have been allocated."

"If time goes on for a long time, it will easily lead to gossip."

After hearing what their father said, Dabao and Erbao looked at each other.

"Dad, where's the health-preserving soup for the kids?"

Bai Ye raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard what his second son said.

Erbao is studying medicine, and you can feel that there is something different about it.

"After get off work, come to my and your mother's place for dinner before going home."

"When the time comes, it will be good to drink nourishing soup."

Meng Xiaoou and Li Fanglei don't know why their husband and parents-in-law attach so much importance to giving their children health-promoting soup.

Lin Hanyu saw that her two daughters-in-law found it troublesome, so she lowered her head and thought for a while.

Then he looked up at them again.

"Then leave all the children under the age of ten with me and your father."

"Let them study in the primary school and kindergarten of the design institute."

"Now that I'm retired, I live with your father in the house near the design institute, so it's convenient for me to pick up and drop off the little ones."

"Wait until the child is ten years old, then you can keep him with you."

"Ah Heng will be ten years old in February next year, so there is only one year left."

"What do you two think?"

Meng Xiaoou and Li Fanglei felt a little embarrassed for a moment when they heard that their mother-in-law was willing to help take care of the child.

They didn't expect that their slight hesitation would be noticed by their mother-in-law.

"Mom, I listen to you."

"Mom, I listen to you too."

When Li Fanglei heard her sister-in-law speak, she quickly agreed.

"Then Ayun and Yiyi will continue to study at the court's primary school."

"The other children will be temporarily transferred to the school near the design institute."

The next day, in the design institute’s staff quarters.

Lin Hanyu directed the movers to move the piano upstairs in her house.

She and Aye’s clothes and daily necessities are all in the house at the design institute.

Children need to practice piano regularly, and it is more convenient to practice in the house of the design institute.

Zhao Huandi was standing in front of her own window upstairs. She saw Lin Manyu and his men carrying things back and hurried downstairs.

Today is working hours and there are not many people in the family compound.

She met no one along the way.

At this moment, seeing Zhao Huandi standing in front of her with shining eyes, she subconsciously took a step back.

"Master Bai's family, why are you hiding?"

"Can I still eat you?"
