The couple made a living in the 1950s.

In the dormitory, everyone looked over when they saw Bai Ye putting the bedding on the bed.

With a smile in her eyes, Lin Hanyu gently took Bai Ye's arm and moved forward.

"I'm Lin Manyu, 27 years old, Class , Year , Accounting, and this is my husband Bai Ye."

She smiled and looked at the three treasures, "This is my eldest son, my second son and my youngest daughter."

Girls who could go to school at that time all came from well-off families.

When they saw Lin Manyu's graceful and confident manner, they all stood up and introduced themselves.

In the dormitory, besides Lin Manyu, there were Liu Guiying, Zhang Qiulan and Li Lanyu, who all lived in Beijing.

Wang Lanlan is from Shen City.

Liu Yanan and Wang Ying are from Yang City.

Zhao Guilan is from Jinshi.

Bai Ye helped Lin Hanyu make her bed. Lin Hanyu greeted everyone and said she would not sleep in the dormitory tonight.

The whole family left the dormitory and walked towards Huazhong University.

Huaqing University and Jingshi University are built next to each other.

At this moment, Lin Manyu and his family were standing at the gate of Hua University.

This is a three-arch "archway" style building with blue bricks, white columns and black paint.

The three big characters "Huaqing Garden" are engraved on the lintel, which is classical, elegant and heavy.

Bai Ye's dormitory also accommodates eight people, and the environment inside is better than Lin Manyu's.

They arrived late and the bed was on the upper bunk behind the door.

It was almost half past four when Lin Hanyu and Bai Ye took the children back home.

There were no street lights at that time, so they didn't dare to waste time and hurried home with their three treasures.

In the evening, the sun shone obliquely into the alley, shining right on Lin Manyu's family.

In the courtyard, this time is when every household finishes their meal and comes out to chat.

Bai Ye's family of five attracted a lot of attention as soon as they walked to the hanging flower gate of the second courtyard.

In the second courtyard, Li Fanglei was playing with her older brother and Jiang Mingyu at the door of her house.

Seeing Sanbao coming in, Dadada ran towards her and hugged her, "Sister Qingshu"

Old Beijingers always like to move a stool and sit together with their neighbors to chat in their spare time.

At this moment, Zhang Mei and her husband, Xu Zhaodi, Li Lanying who lived in the back house, Aunt Jiang, and Li Tiezhu and his wife who lived in the main house in the third courtyard were all gathered in the second courtyard.

Bai Ye greeted Li Ze with a smile, then took Lin Manyu and the three treasures and walked towards the east wing.

In the living room, the three babies were lying on the sofa, not wanting to move.

They had been walking around with their parents all day and were already exhausted.

Sanbao rubbed his big eyes and looked at Dabao, "Brother, I'm really hungry."

Dabao turned to look at Erbao and met his pitiful eyes.

He resigned himself to his fate and got up, took out the peach cakes and trough cakes from the cupboard and placed them on the coffee table.

In the kitchen, Lin Hanyu kept cooking.

She took out the pork she had bought in the morning from the porcelain bowl and cut it into slices.

He turned around and took out ten eggs from the porcelain bowl on the third shelf of the round corner cabinet.

At this time, Bai Ye came in with a bamboo basket, "Wife, the cucumbers and beans have been picked."

He washed the vegetables he picked with quick hands and feet.

At the dining table, Erbao swallowed the piece of meat in his mouth and looked at his father.

"Dad, tomorrow morning, my brother, sister and I will also go to school at 8 o'clock.

"Well, Dad has already made an agreement with your Uncle Ze that I will send you to their house in the morning to go to school with Fang Lei."

Bai Ye put the peeled salted duck eggs into Lin Manyu's flower-shaped plate.

When Sanbao heard this, he turned to look at Bai Ye and asked, "What about lunch?"

Bai Ye reached out and rubbed his daughter's head. "You are not allowed to go home for lunch in middle school. I will bring you a bag of cakes every day. You can eat after class if you are hungry."

"But you have to promise dad that you will finish your lunch every day. Food is hard to come by."

"Yeah," Sanbao nodded.

"I know. I've learned it. When I was hoeing the field at noon, my sweat dripped down to the ground. Who knows that every grain of rice on the table is the result of hard work?"

After dinner, Lin Yuyu took the three treasures to the bathroom and pointed at the six porcelain basins on the wooden rack.

"You are already junior high school students now. You can take care of your own things."

"Everyone in our family has a washbasin and a footbath"

"My father just bought these six porcelain basins a few days ago. They are new. There are only these six styles in the department store, and my father picked them all out for me."

Lin Hanyu stretched out her hand and showed the three treasures the six paper balls in her palm.

Begonia flowers with white background, peony flowers with white background, azalea flowers with white background, lotus flowers with white background, pomegranate flowers with white background, and forsythia flowers with white background are written on these six paper balls respectively.

It’s still the same as before, rock-paper-scissors, whoever wins gets to choose first.

Choose two paper balls at a time and decide which one to use as a washbasin and which to use as a footbasin. It’s up to you.

In the living room, Bai Ye saw Sanbao standing beside him holding two porcelain basins. He stopped wrapping the books and looked at his daughter with a smile.

Sanbao put down the porcelain basin and hugged Bai Ye's arm.

"Dad, can you ask Grandpa Zhao to make me a new washbasin stand? I want to put it in my room."

After that, she showed Bai Ye her porcelain basin, "Dad, I drew a porcelain basin with pomegranate and peony flowers."

"Mom said I can take care of my own things in the future. I want to use the peony porcelain basin as a wash basin."

Bai Ye looked at his little girl's happy expression and nodded.

"I will go find your Grandpa Zhao tomorrow and make you a wash basin stand. Now go find your mother to wash up. You should go to bed."

When Sanbao heard his father's agreement, he happily went to find his mother with the porcelain basin in his arms.

Bai Ye wrapped a book cover and just looked up when he saw his two sons coming out of the bedroom holding porcelain basins.

There was a smile flickering in his deep eyes.

Looking at his two sons sitting next to him, Bai Ye leaned back on the sofa and asked, "What kind of pattern did you draw?"

Erbao looked at his brother and motioned for him to speak first.

A smile flashed across Dabao's cold and handsome face. "I am a forsythia and a crabapple. I want to use a crabapple porcelain basin as a wash basin."

After Erbao heard what his brother said, he smiled and said, "I want to use the lotus porcelain basin as a wash basin."

Bai Ye reached out and touched their little heads. "Tomorrow I'll make a washbasin stand for each of you and put it in your own room."

Looking at the happy faces of his two sons, a flash of warmth flashed across Bai Ye's eyes and spread out.

Children are happy for the sense of ritual in their growth

At night, the three treasures had already washed up and gone to bed. Lin Manyu and Bai Ye were sitting on the sofa wrapping their books.

After wrapping the last book, Lin Hanyu rubbed his sore eyes and leaned back on the sofa.

Watching Bai Ye write the names of the three treasures on their books.

And put the books in their respective backpacks.

The school bags she made for the children were in the style of backpacks of later generations.

It is more suitable for children's physical growth and development than the popular shoulder bags of this period.

The fabric for the schoolbag was dark blue cotton that she and Zhang Mei bought at a silk shop.

Bai Ye packed the three children's schoolbags, then picked up Lin Manyu and walked to the bathroom, and the two of them went to wash up together.
