The couple made a living in the 1950s.

Chapter 40 Buying a Bicycle

In the second courtyard of the main courtyard, Zhang Mei's house, Li Fanglei swallowed the egg in her mouth and turned to look at Li Fangxu beside her.

"Brother, I'm going to middle school tomorrow."

"You have to listen to your parents at home and take good care of your little brother."

As soon as she finished speaking, Li Ze couldn't help laughing. Only Li Fangxu looked at his sister with a cute face.

Li Fanglei was so pleased that she turned around and gave her brother a big kiss on the face.

"Wow wow wow..."

After kissing her brother until he cried, she sat there with an innocent look on her face and ate her food obediently.

Li Ze smiled and picked up his eldest son, coaxing him for a long time before he finally calmed down.

Zhang Mei coaxed her little son to sleep and came out of the bedroom, "Aze, I only have a few days left on my maternity leave."

"After you take your daughter to register tomorrow, go to our hospital nursery and register your two sons."

"Okay," Li Ze nodded, "Time flies by so fast. I have 84 days of maternity leave, but now it seems like there are only a few days left."

"Yes, our youngest son is almost three months old," Zhang Mei continued to peel shrimps for her daughter.

"Dad got up early to buy these prawns. You need to eat more as you are growing."

At this moment, in the Bai family's courtyard, the three treasures finished their meal early and sat at the dining table, waiting for their parents.

It was just nine o'clock when Lin Hanyu and his family arrived at the Di'anmen Department Store.

This shopping mall just opened this year and this is their first time here.

The whole family went straight to the bicycle area, and all they saw were Forever brands. Lin Hanyu and Bai Ye didn't see any women's bicycles.

Just then a staff member came over and asked, "Sir, would you like to buy a bicycle?"

"Do you have women's bicycles?" Bai Ye asked

The staff laughed and said, "I heard that foreign products have it, but we don't have it yet."

In the end, Lin Manyu spent 163.35 million yuan to buy a men's bicycle and took it home.

Considering the current price situation where one kilogram of rice costs one thousand yuan, this bicycle is not cheap.

Bai Ye pushed the bicycle and the family of five walked home. Each of the three children carried a small bag containing the eight Beijing items.

He looked at the three treasures walking happily in front of him carrying bags, and the warmth that flashed across his eyes could not be hidden.

He and Hanhan's children are all doing well. The children in the family are moving forward slowly, little by little.

It is good that the older generation supports the younger generation, and this tradition is passed down from generation to generation.

At night, in Aunt Jiang's bedroom, she sat on the sofa and looked at Jiang Jiadong.

"Don't blame mom. She's still in charge of your salary."

"I don't care whether you wanted to marry Lin Ai because she was pretty or because of something else."

"The fact is, she is confused. If she could be clear-headed, I wouldn't care about your salary."

"I don't care about your salary now. Eventually, she will have to move back to her parents' home."

"When Mingbo and I lived in Shen City, I think you know where you spent your money and how much money you saved."

"Although your wages are handed over to me, I also take care of your food, clothing, housing and transportation. I also give you pocket money, and it doesn't hinder your future social activities."

"I take care of your wife's food, clothing, housing and transportation. I'm not that evil mother-in-law."

"I manage your salary for my two grandsons. I'm afraid that in the end, all the Jiang family's things will become the Lin family's, and my two grandsons will be left with nothing."

"That's it. Your wife still has half a month's salary for pocket money. I was thinking, which mother doesn't want to buy something for her child?"

"She came across something nice on the street and wanted to buy it for her sons, but she didn't have any money in her pocket, so it wasn't that easy."

"What was the result? What did she buy for her two sons over the years?"

"Or she could spend it herself. She didn't buy it herself. Then let me ask you, how much money did she save?"

"Go back and tell her that starting from next month, she will give three quarters of her salary to her family."

"We in the Jiang family married Lin Ai, not the entire Lin family."

"I've seen people treat their nephews well, and I've treated your cousin well, too. In a family, everyone prospers together and everyone suffers together."

"But your wife is the first mother I've ever met who treats her nephew better than her own son."

Jiang Jiadong sat there and sighed slightly, "I'll go back and tell her to pay three quarters of her salary next month."

Aunt Jiang looked at her son with helplessness in her eyes, "I know my own son, you are not a wicked person."

"But you cherish yourself too much and focus too much on your career."

"What happened with the Bai family at that time was very inappropriate."

"It's been so long since the incident happened, there's nothing much to say."

"From now on, just have normal dealings with the Bai family. I don't want to get involved in anything else."

"Hmm" A look of embarrassment flashed across Jiang Jiadong's handsome face.

"Mom, don't worry. I admit what I did back then and I won't do anything to repeat it."

The two were chatting so seriously that they didn't notice the two little heads at the bedroom door.

In the bedroom, Lin Ai looked unhappy after hearing what Jiang Jiadong said, "Mom said that there is not enough money at home?"

Jiang Jiadong nodded, "Mom is retired now, and her salary is not as high as before."

Hearing Jiang Jiadong say this, Lin Ai's face darkened.

"The food we eat at home is so good. Now there are a few families who eat like us."

"My sons are growing up, so why do you feel bad for them eating a little?"

When Jiang Jiadong heard Lin Ai say this, he got a little angry and stopped talking.

At this time, in the Wang family's house at the back of the main courtyard, Zhang Daya was lying on the bed, thinking about what happened during the day, and she felt uncomfortable.

Over the years, she always felt that the beating her son received was related to the Bai family.

Now that the Bai family is doing better and better, she feels so angry that her teeth are itching.

There are not many families in this courtyard who have a bicycle, and the Bai family bought another one today.

"Grandma, Mom asked me to ask you if you are going to make shoes tomorrow."

Zhang Daya stared at Wang Lai Di who came into the room and said, "No, tell your mother that I will take a day off tomorrow."

Seeing Wang Lai Di turn around and leave, Zhang Daya smiled.

"This girl is better at studying than my grandson. When she finishes her studies and finds a good job, let her give the job to my grandson."

"When her eldest grandson comes, he can also buy two bicycles."

Wang Lai Di had no idea what her grandmother was thinking, and was now surrounding Li Lanying.

"Mom, my grandma said she'll take a day off tomorrow."

Li Lanying nodded when she heard that and thought for a while before speaking.

"My daughter, look at those who live well in our courtyard, they are all scholars."

"Jiang Mingbo's family, Li Fanglei's family, and Bai Qingyi's family all live well and have nice names."

"When my mother was young, she didn't have the opportunity to read, but she would read and compare."

"Mom now hopes that you can study and live a good life in the future."

"Okay," Wang Laidie smiled and gently walked forward to hug Li Lanying.

Even many years later, she would still think of this night from time to time.

The house was dark at that time, and her mother was shining.

In early September, it was already a little chilly in the morning in Beijing.

When Lin Hanyu got up, Sanbao was still sleeping. Looking at her daughter's little face, she lowered her head and gave her a gentle kiss.
