The couple made a living in the 1950s.

At night, the Wang family, a family of five, squeezed into a house at the back of the main courtyard.

Wang Laidie couldn't fall asleep despite listening to her father's snoring.

She was born in July 1942, one month younger than Jiang Mingbo.

She had always thought that Jiang Mingbo was smart enough to go to junior high school.

She is in the fourth grade of primary school, which is a normal reading speed.

Today at school, she saw that the three children of the Bai family and Li Fanglei were in the second grade of senior primary school, and she felt bad.

At this time, in the Bai family courtyard, the three treasures were sleeping soundly in the south bedroom on the first floor.

In the north bedroom next door, Lin Hanyu finished taking a shower and lay drowsily in Bai Ye's arms, letting him help her wipe her hair.

"Wife, when are we going to sleep in separate rooms from the three treasures?"

"They're turning seven soon."

Lin Hanyu secretly glared at him where Bai Ye couldn't see.

"We should ask them to sleep in separate rooms, but they are almost seven years old, and there is still more than half a year left."

Bai Ye didn't hear any more echo. He looked down and found that his young wife was sleeping soundly.

He gently carried her back to the south bedroom, put her in the quilt, and then lay down himself.

"Ding ding ding" At 5:30 in the morning, the new wall clock hanging on the north wall of the south bedroom on the first floor rang on time.

Lin Hanyu stretched with her eyes closed. She had to get up and cook as her three children had to go to school at eight o'clock.

Bai Ye looked at Lin Manyu lying lazily in his arms, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth and kiss her on the forehead.

"You sleep a little longer, I'll make breakfast."

"Okay," Lin Hanyu giggled and closed his eyes obediently.

When she woke up again, the three children had already finished breakfast and were sitting in the living room getting ready to go to school.

Every morning their father takes them to school, and their mother sometimes likes to stay in bed.

"Mom" The three babies saw Lin Manyu coming out of the bedroom door and happily surrounded her.

They each received a kiss from their mother before going out to school with their father.

Li Ze was in the living room at home. When he saw Bai Ye coming with his three babies, he brought his daughter out.

The two of them usually take their children to school together.

After watching Bai Ye and the three treasures go out, Lin Manyu went to the bathroom to wash up.

In the kitchen, Lin Manyu picked up the aluminum pot lid and saw the boiled eggs, millet porridge and braised beef in the pot, all still steaming.

At the classroom door, Bai Ye and Li Ze watched the four children sit obediently in their seats before turning around and leaving.

The two separated at the school gate. Li Ze was in a hurry to go to work, while Bai Ye strolled back home.

When Bai Ye got home, Lin Hanyu was eating breakfast in the restaurant.

She saw Bai Ye sitting down next to her, so she reached out and picked up the kettle on the dining table and poured Bai Ye a cup of tea she had just brewed.

"Try this Lu'an Guapian that Meimei gave me."

Bai Ye took a sip from the cup and nodded, "Wife, when are we going to let the children sleep in separate rooms?"

"Aye, are you serious?" Lin Manyu looked at Bai Ye.

"Yeah." Bai Ye put down the cup and looked at Lin Manyu.

Lin Hanyu held Bai Ye's hand and nodded, "Then let's divide the rooms for them first?"

At noon, at the Xisi District Central Primary School in Beijing, Sanbao and Li Fanglei were queuing up to get their meals with their aluminum lunch boxes.

At this time, students all eat lunch at school, and each person needs to bring 25 kilograms of food to school every month.

In the classroom, Sanbao stared at the lunch she brought back in a daze. Today she had steamed corn bread and stewed cabbage for lunch again. The cabbage at school tasted different from the one her mother made.

Since she started school, she has had these dishes for lunch every day. She found them fresh in the first few days, but now she really can’t eat them.

Sanbao thought about how his parents had repeatedly warned them not to tell anyone what they usually eat at home.

At this moment, she obediently picked up the chopsticks, picked up the cabbage and put it into her mouth. She turned around and saw Lei Lei sitting next to her, eating steamed bread with tears in her eyes.

Her mood suddenly improved.

Sanbao reached out and touched Li Fanglei's little head, imitating the way his brothers usually rubbed her hair.

This caused Li Fanglei to stare at her blankly with her big eyes.

Dabao and Erbao, who were sitting nearby, laughed as they watched.

In the Bai family's kitchen, Lin Hanyu looked at the peanut oil and lard in the lotus leaf jar and lotus seed jar, which were almost empty.

He raised his hand and took out a bucket of peanut oil from the space and filled the lotus leaf lid jar.

In the living room, Bai Ye was sitting on the sofa reading political knowledge and saw Lin Manyu sitting next to him.

He put the book down, put his arm around her and leaned against the sofa.

"Don't want to make lunch?" Bai Ye raised his hand and looked at the watch on his wrist. "It's already this time, how about we go out to eat?"

"If you want to eat shabu-shabu tripe, let's go to Donglaishun Restaurant." Lin Manyu hugged Bai Ye's waist.

"After dinner, let's go to Dongdan Market to buy some fat meat to make oil. We just ran out of lard at home."

In the evening, as soon as the three babies entered the house, they smelled the aroma of meat coming from the kitchen.

They quickly changed their clothes and shoes and handed them to their father.

Dadada, and then he ran to the kitchen.

When I opened the kitchen door, I saw my mother making lard.

When Lin Hanyu saw them come in, he turned around and took out three heart-shaped bowls from the round corner cabinet, put oil shuttles in the bowls, and poured soy sauce on them.

In the restaurant, three little kids were eating fried dough sticks with chopsticks, one after another.

For dinner, we had braised fish, pork ribs stewed with dried cowpeas, stir-fried rapeseed and white rice.

The three babies ate happily. Lin Hanyu and Bai Ye looked at each other silently.

"What are we having for lunch at school today?"

Dabao swallowed the braised fish in his mouth and said, "Mom, we have always eaten stewed cabbage and stewed potatoes alternately."

Sanbao listened to her eldest brother and nodded her head, "The staple food is steamed corn bread or steamed potatoes."

Bai Ye sighed secretly in his heart when he heard this.

"Mom, serve the rice."

Lin Hanyu took the bowl of rice handed over by Erbao, silently opened the big covered bowl, and filled it with rice.

After dinner, Bai Ye took Dabao and Erbao to the kitchen to wash dishes.

Sanbao was chatting with his mother in the living room.

Lin Hanyu hugged Sanbao into her arms and asked, "Are you happy at school?"

"Happy. My brother and I have studied those questions before. The four of us play together every day."

As if he had thought of something, Sanbao put his little head on his mother's chest.

"Mom, I just can't eat at noon every day. I feel very hungry in the afternoon. Today, Leilei was so hungry that she cried."

At this moment, Li Ze's family in the second courtyard of the main courtyard were having dinner.

Their family eats braised pork, sauerkraut and pork, Chinese cabbage stewed with tofu and sorghum rice.

Li Fanglei sat at the dining table, looking at the food on the table with tearful eyes, and waited for her parents to come out of the kitchen before eating.

Li Fangxu, who was sitting next to her, stared at his sister blankly. Li Fanglei noticed and glared at him.

Li Ze, looking at his daughter who was eating mouthful after mouthful in front of him, sighed slightly.

"My daughter, when Daddy picks you up tomorrow, he will definitely bring you some cookies. Eat slowly. Eating fast is bad for your stomach."

Seeing that her daughter only ate the braised pork, Zhang Mei reached out and picked up a piece of bok choy for her with chopsticks.

"Mom and your auntie Yu have learned to grow vegetables indoors in the winter, so we don't lack fresh vegetables to eat during this season. You should eat more vegetables to have a balanced diet."
