The couple made a living in the 1950s.

At this time, in Wang Lai Di's home in the back house of the main courtyard, she was lying on the bed unable to sleep.

She was one of the few girls in the school who could go to junior high school.

My mother said that the government will assign her a job when she graduates.

She won't have to rely on others for her life and will live as well as Li Fanglei's mother.

Zhang Daya, who was sleeping on the other side, hadn't fallen asleep yet either.

Just thinking about what happened during the day, the two boys of the Bai family are younger, but the girl is three years older and has a lot of money.

It's not impossible to be with Lai Di, and there's also Jiang Mingbo from the Jiang family and the couple from the Bai family, they will also have good jobs in the future.

The Bai family and the Jiang family can definitely afford the bride price to help her eldest grandson get married.

Early in the morning, every household in the courtyard was busy.

In the living room, Bai Ye smiled as he looked at the three treasures sitting beside him.

"You will be entering high school soon. You will be big kids of ten years old already."

“You should do your own things and also formally participate in household chores.”

"Starting tomorrow, you will have to wash your own clothes and clean your own rooms."

"Dad and you will take turns cleaning the rest of the house."

"We four take turns washing the dishes."

Lin Hanyu, who was busy cooking in the kitchen, didn't know that Bai Ye had already assigned all the housework for the future.

Hearing this, Sanbao looked at Bai Ye with his eyes wide open, "Dad, I saw you washing clothes for Mom."

Bai Ye paused and thought for a while. "Mom is busy cooking, so Dad does the laundry."

"Your mother is cooking in the kitchen. I'll go check it out."

Bai Ye looked at the children and was about to continue asking why, so he quickly got up and walked towards the kitchen.

Sanbao blinked and turned to look at his brothers.

“I want to be last in line for both washing dishes and cleaning.”

Only when she saw her brothers nod in agreement did she stand up and follow her father into the kitchen.

In the kitchen, Lin Hanyu smiled as she watched the two people, one big and one small, come in one after another.

Sanbao met his mother's gaze, smiled and walked forward to hold Lin Manyu's arm.

"My mother promised me that she would buy me a radio if I passed high school."

In the living room, they saw Dad coming downstairs with a radio.

They all gathered around excitedly. At that time, people had a lack of entertainment options, so if a family had a radio, it would definitely be a happy thing.

Time flies. Soon after the school started, the state promulgated the "Interim Measures for the Printing of Grain Ration Supply Certificates in Towns and Cities".

People officially began to use food rationing stamps.

It stipulates that for special manual laborers, the weight should be 50 to 60 kilograms, and the average weight should not exceed 55 kilograms.

For those who do heavy manual labor, 40 to 49 kilograms, and the average should not exceed 44 kilograms.

For those who do light physical labor, 29 to 39 kilograms, and the average should not exceed 35 kilograms.

For staff members of institutions and organizations, employees of public and private enterprises, shop assistants and other mental workers, the weight should be 27 to 32 kilograms, and the average should not exceed 31 kilograms.

For college and high school students, the weight should be between 29 and 36 catties, and the average weight should not exceed 35 catties.

The flour purchase certificates issued in 1953 were also officially replaced with flour tickets.

College students like Lin Hanyu and Bai Ye have a monthly ration of 34 kilograms.

The monthly ration for the three babies is 32 kilograms.

Their whole family received 164 kilograms of food coupons per month, and each person ate 32.8 kilograms of food per month.

Lin Hanyu, like other families in the courtyard, bought a scale from the store.

Children are in the period of growth.

Every time she cooks, she measures the food with a scale before putting it into the pot, just like everyone else.

After putting the food into the pot, she secretly put some food into the pot from the space.

Time passed slowly. On the campus of Peking University, Lin Manyu was walking towards the teacher's office.

Now is the time when all social classes and units are in short supply of college students.

After graduation, they were all assigned jobs in the place where their household registration was located.

Bai Ye works as a designer in the Design Institute of Beijing Urban Planning Administration Bureau.

She was assigned to work as an accountant in Li Ze's Public Security Bureau.

At this moment, the teacher is busy saying goodbye to the students who are about to leave Beijing.

Lin Hanyu got his work certificate, said hello to the teacher, and left the office directly.

She is in Beijing. If she wants to meet the teacher in the future, she can come to the school and she doesn't have to stay and take up other students' time.

From a distance, Lin Hanyu saw her roommates waiting for her at the school gate.

They had made a special agreement in their dormitory to buy train tickets to leave Beijing on the same day.

She and Li Lanyu, Zhang Qiulan, Liu Guiying and others wanted to send everyone on the train.

Watching his roommates leave one after another, Lin Manyu stood on the platform, unable to come back to his senses for a long time.

The scene of everyone in the dormitory when school started that year is still vivid in my mind.

When Lin Hanyu got home, Bai Ye had not returned yet.

The three children are studying in the living room as they will be taking the college entrance exam next year.

Dabao saw Lin Hanyu sitting next to them and came over, "Mom, where's Dad?"

When Erbao and Sanbao heard what their brother said, they looked over curiously. Usually, dad and mom come back together.

In the evening, Bai Ye just pushed his bicycle into the back house and saw Jiang Mingbo coming in hurriedly.

Jiang Mingbo stopped when he saw Bai Ye, "Uncle Bai, my brother and Fang Xu haven't returned home since school."

Bai Ye's face changed when he heard this. He looked at his watch and it was almost six o'clock.

"Knock, knock, knock," Lin Manyu of the Bai family was cooking dinner in the kitchen when she heard a knock on the moon door.

She opened the door and saw Lin Ai standing outside with red eyes.

"Hanyu, Mingyu and Fangxu didn't come home."

Hearing this, Lin Yu couldn't help but frowned, "Don't they usually go home with you?"

"I graded the papers for a little longer today, so I let them go back by themselves. They often came back by themselves before, and they always went home well."

"I just came back and found out that they didn't go home. My family thought they were with me."

Seeing that their mother had not returned to the house for a long time, the three babies followed her out.

For a moment, every household in the courtyard stopped what they were doing and started helping to look for the child.

At this time, a family in Dongjiaomin Lane was having dinner.

Fang Xu sat at the dinner table, looking at Jiang Mingyu beside him, and whispered in his ear, "If we don't go back, our family will be worried."

Jiang Mingyu raised his head and looked at the man opposite him, "Uncle, no one in my family knows I'm at your house."

The honest-looking man on the opposite side nodded and said, "What are you afraid of at your uncle's house? Wait for your mother to pick you up."

"Then send Fang Xu home. If you don't go back, his family will come looking for him."

The man lowered his head and thought for a while, then looked at Jiang Mingyu, "His mother is on duty at the hospital, and his father is taking his sister to the nursery to pick up his brother."

"It's okay for him to come home later."

When Fang Xu heard this, he lowered his head so that the man would not see the fear in his eyes.

Jiang Mingyu's face darkened and he stared at his uncle, "Uncle, you should go find mom."

"We shouldn't have been sneaked home."
