The couple made a living in the 1950s.

Seeing her daughter-in-law keeping her head down and not saying anything, Aunt Jiang stood up and walked towards the kitchen.

In the bedroom, Jiang Mingyu leaned in Jiang Mingbo's arms and swallowed the strawberry his brother fed him.

"Brother, Mom likes my older cousin, not me."

Jiang Mingbo stopped eating strawberries and waited for his brother to continue.

Jiang Mingyu said in a baby voice, "Brother, I don't like going to grandma's house. Mom always takes me there."

"Today my oldest cousin tore up the picture book you bought for me, but mom said it was okay."

"My oldest cousin pushed me to the ground, and my mom said it was okay."

After saying that, he pulled up his pants and showed Jiang Mingbo the scratches on his legs.

Jiang Mingbo felt a pang in his heart when he saw this.

This little brother of his is still more than half a month away from turning three.

Jiang Mingbo reached out and held his brother in his arms.

"Brother tells you that next time mom wants to take you out, you go find grandma."

"If you're with grandma, you don't have to go to grandma's house."

Jiang Mingbo glanced at his younger brother who was eating strawberries on his bed.

He got out of bed and went to the desk drawer to take out the ointment that his grandmother bought for him when he was injured playing ball last time.

Gently wipe my brother's wound.

He once thought that his mother just loved his younger brother more and that people are always biased.

He didn't grow up with his parents, so he can try to accept the fact that his mother loves his younger brother more.

But later he discovered that his mother didn't seem to love his younger brother either.

He lived with his grandmother in Shen City since he was a child. When his family moved into the courtyard house, he and his grandmother had just arrived in Beijing.

His grandmother took good care of him when he was a child, and she still does until now.

Watching his younger brother grow up in recent years, he gradually realized that growing up with his mother was not as happy as he thought.

In the evening, in the Bai family’s courtyard, Lin Manyu and his family were having dinner under the arbour.

Tonight we have fried pork ribs with green onions and fried potato chips with cowpeas at home.

Scrambled eggs with leeks, braised prawns, spinach and egg soup, mapo tofu and white rice.

Tofu is high in calcium and is suitable for children to eat when they are growing.

Lin Hanyu gave each child some tofu.

When she cooks, she prefers to make more types of dishes and smaller quantities.

Bai Ye put the peeled shrimps into Lin Manyu's flower-shaped plate.

Yin Sanbao blinked his two big eyes and kept looking at him, "Dad..."

It was not until he peeled a shrimp for each of the three treasures and put it into their flower-shaped plates that the three treasures lowered their heads and started eating obediently.

"Mom, we also want to visit your university the day after tomorrow."

After Erbao finished speaking, he picked up the shrimp meat that his father peeled for him and started eating.

Lin Yu nodded and said, "I will go to the middle school to register with you the day after tomorrow, and then we will go to our school together."

Bai Ye swallowed the shrimp in his mouth and turned his head to look at his wife.

"Hanhan, let's go buy you a women's bicycle tomorrow."

"From now on, it will take us about an hour to ride our bikes from home to school."

At night, Lin Hanyu and Bai Ye looked at the three treasures who were lying on their bed and refused to leave, and looked at each other helplessly.

Bai Ye held Dabao and Erbao in his arms, "Didn't you two say you wanted to live in the same room? Which bedroom did you choose?"

Dabao hugged his father's shoulders like his younger brother, "We also drew a ball of paper, and finally drew my younger brother's bedroom."

"Okay." Bai Ye let the two little guys sit on his arms, "Then let's go to your room and sleep together."

Upon hearing this, Dabao and Erbao looked at each other and nodded.

Sanbao saw his father carrying his two brothers downstairs, and turned around to look at his mother.

Lin Yuyu was so adorable that she came over and kissed her on the cheek, "Let's go to your room and sleep together, okay?"

Seeing Sanbao nod, Lin Hanyu carried her to her bedroom.

In the south bedroom on the first floor, Bai Ye was holding a baby in one arm and telling a bedtime story.

Erbao stretched out his little hand and tugged at Bai Ye's pajamas sleeve.

"Dad, please don't leave in the middle of the night. I want to see you when I wake up in the morning."

Bai Ye's expression was gentle, "Dad does have an idea and wants to leave in the middle of the night."

"But since you said that, you should be good and sleep well. Daddy won't leave."

After saying that, Bai Ye stood up and kissed Dabao and Erbao on the forehead.

"Sleep well, my dears. You will definitely see me tomorrow morning."

Dabao and Erbao's eyes were shining with joy. In their memory, their father would kiss them, but very rarely.

Dad likes to kiss Mom the most, and he will only kiss my sister when she acts like a spoiled child.

This was the first time that Dad kissed them so many times at once.

The two babies closed their eyes obediently.

On the second floor, in Sanbao's bedroom, Lin Manyu gently held the little baby in her arms and told him a bedtime story.

Sanbao put his little arm on Lin Yu's shoulder and said, "Mom, will you run away in the middle of the night?

"Do you want your mother to leave?" After saying that, Lin Manyu kissed Sanbao's little face.

Sanbao quickly shook his little head, "Mom, I want to see you when I open my eyes tomorrow morning."

"Okay, if you say so, Mom will promise you that I won't leave. Just go to sleep peacefully, and you will see Mom when you open your eyes tomorrow."

Seeing Sanbao close her eyes, Lin Yu stood up, gently kissed her forehead, and then closed her eyes and fell asleep.

The next morning, the wall clock at home rang.

Lin Hanyu and Bai Ye promised the children last night that they would see them when they woke up.

Neither of them was in any hurry to get up at this moment.

Lin Manyu was sleeping soundly when she felt two small hands drawing on her face.

She pretended not to wake up yet, turned over, pressed Sanbao in her arms, and began to tickle her itch.

“Ahahahaha…Mom mom…Help…”

In the south bedroom on the first floor, Dabao and Erbao opened their eyes and saw their father. They happily hugged their father’s arms.

He moved further into his father's arms.

Early in the morning in the Jiang family's living room, Aunt Jiang was sitting on the sofa, helping Jiang Mingbo knit a sweater.

She was born in July 1902. She previously worked in the Education Bureau of Shen City and was later transferred to the Education Bureau of Beijing City.

The country had just promulgated the Labor Insurance Regulations in 1951.

It stipulates that male workers and employees retire at the age of 60, and female workers and employees retire at the age of 50.

At this moment, she has just retired and stayed at home for a month.

It is summer vacation now, and Jiang Jiadong is the only one in the family who needs to go out to work.

In the kitchen, Lin Ai was making breakfast. Her mood was affected when she thought about how her youngest son refused to go back to his room to sleep with her last night.

Other children are close to their mothers, but these two sons, one is close to their grandmother and the other is close to his older brother.

Lin Ai looked at the scrambled eggs with cucumber slices, stewed potatoes with green beans, stir-fried cabbage with meat, corn tortillas and rice porridge on her breakfast table.

I feel so sad. The food is too good. Her parents only eat the same dish every day.

The mother-in-law keeps both her husband's and her mother-in-law's wages, and she has to give half of her salary to her mother-in-law every month.
