The couple made a living in the 1950s.

The 3rd and 5th of every month are the days when the people of Beijing buy their grain supplies.

During these two days, people start queuing up at the grain stores at 3 a.m.

All workplaces also assume that everyone can arrive at work a little later on these two days every month.

Today, Bai Ye, like usual, waited in front of the grain store early in the morning with Li Ze and Ding Qiang.

The tricycle at home can carry the rationed food for three families back home.

At this moment, Ding Qiang looked at the food in the car and breathed a sigh of relief.

Maybe it’s because New Year’s Eve is only three days away.

This time, the food supply was not all sweet potatoes like in the previous period.

Every household was supplied with some rice.

Bai Ye sent the food home, ate something and then hurried back to work because he still had a blueprint to finish.

The children at home are on winter vacation now, although they are already in college.

But in fact, he is less than 14 years old, which is the age for growing up.

He and Hanhan never asked them to get up early, because children would not grow tall if they did not get enough sleep.

It was already 10:20 when Sanbao went downstairs, and the house was quiet.

She was well raised by her parents and had never lacked nutrition since childhood. She has grown especially fast in the past two years.

He was already 1.65 meters tall when he was less than fourteen years old.

Her mother has been raising her carefully, and now she has grown into a grown-up girl.

She is as dazzlingly white as her mother and shines wherever she goes.

In the bathroom, Sanbao was standing in front of the basin washing his face.

She looked up at her fair little face in the mirror and blinked.

Her mother said that she had to wash her face with the cleansing soap she made for a long time, but she was not allowed to use beauty cream at school and could only use Pechoin for skin care.

Thinking of this, she quickly washed her face and ran upstairs to her bedroom.

She sat down in front of the dressing table, picked up the beauty cream, opened it, scooped out a large piece, and applied it on her face. She watched it absorb quickly, and her eyes were shining.

Downstairs, Dabao came out of the bedroom and looked at the wall clock in the living room suspiciously.

I just heard my sister coming downstairs. Is she going back to sleep?

At this time in the Beijing Public Security Bureau, it was not yet time for lunch.

Lin Hanyu was sitting in the office knitting a scarf for her second baby.

Compared with A-ye's job, her job does give her more free time.

Those accounts are recorded regularly every month, and wages are calculated and paid.

Practice makes perfect. She now spends nearly half a month a month sitting in the office.

Fortunately, everyone in the office is so idle, so she can feel at ease.

The accounting job in their government agencies is indeed easier than that in factories.

In the cafeteria, Lin Hanyu found a corner and sat down with his aluminum lunch box.

She looked at the steamed buns and cabbage in the lunch box, picked up the chopsticks and started eating seriously.

Compared to those families who are almost out of food, the food in their bureau is much better.

Lin Hanyu originally thought that she would drink tea, read the newspaper, knit a sweater and then go home after get off work this afternoon as usual.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she came out of the cafeteria, she saw Li Huiying and a woman walking towards her.

She and Li Huiying nodded politely without stopping.

"Wait a minute, comrade. Are you Bai Qingyi's mother?"

When Lin Hanyu heard her eldest son's name, she turned to look at the woman next to Li Huiying.

"I am Zhang Weian's mother, Li Huilan."

Lin Hanyu smiled and held her hand, "I am Bai Qingyi's mother, Lin Hanyu."

In the afternoon, in the Finance Department office.

Lin Hanyu felt that Li Huiying, who was sitting behind her, would look up at her from time to time.

I couldn't help but turn sideways and wait for her to look up again.

Li Huiying met Lin Manyu's gaze and smiled awkwardly.

"Yunyu, it turns out that your son and my eldest nephew are classmates and are both in college."

As soon as she finished speaking, the remaining two people in the office also turned their eyes to Lin Hanyu.

Lin Manyu nodded and looked at Li Huiying with a smile.

"I heard from my child that his classmate is from Shen City."

"I am from Shen City. My eldest brother-in-law is from Shen City. My eldest sister and her family have always lived in Shen City."

"They both recently transferred to Beijing for work."

Seeing that Lin Manyu was not interested in continuing the conversation, Li Huiying did not ask any more questions. She could go home and ask her sister.

However, Wan Ling, who was sitting in the small cubicle, looked up at Lin Manyu.

"How old is Accountant Lin's son?"

"14 is old."

After Lin Hanyu finished speaking, she turned around and continued knitting her scarf, making it clear that she didn't want to say more.

After finally waiting until the end of get off work, she packed her things, got on her bike and headed home.

Before entering her own courtyard, Lin Hanyu smelled the fragrance of her own wintersweet from afar, and her whole body became delighted.

When she entered the room, Dabao and Erbao were sitting at a round table playing Go.

"Mom, is it cold outside today?"

"It's okay. You didn't leave the house today."

Dabao put a chess piece on the board and looked up at his mother.

"Now that everyone is hungry, the three of us think we should try to stay out as little as possible."

Lin Hanyu glanced at the two sons sitting in front of him and nodded.

They are both about 1.78 meters tall and look very strong and healthy. They don't look like they are hungry.

"Where's your sister?"

"Sleeping upstairs."

Seeing that her two sons were playing chess seriously, Lin Yuyu stopped disturbing them.

When Bai Ye got home from get off work, it was already half past six.

The family sat around the dining table, eating and chatting.

Lin Hanyu thought about what happened this afternoon and glanced at her eldest son.

"I met Zhang Weian's mother at the bureau this afternoon."

"Is his mother involved?"

Lin Hanyu met the gaze of her eldest son and was a little unresponsive for a moment.

"Not involved in the case?" Dabao looked back at his father.

While the younger sister is talking to the younger brother, pay attention.

He reached out and took out the egg yolk from her salted egg and ate it.

Bai Ye looked at his childish eldest son and said nothing.

Most of the harmless things between siblings are done at their own will.

"I thought his mother went to the black market to buy food. The situation was serious and you caught her instead of taking her to the police station. You took her directly to the Public Security Bureau."

"You know a lot?"

Dabao heard the warning in his father's voice and raised his hand to touch his nose.

In the evening, at Liu Meijia’s home in the third courtyard of the main courtyard.

Liu Meijia sat on the sofa holding her son, looking at Lin Ai who kept talking in front of her.

He shook his head decisively, "Everyone is busy taking care of themselves right now. My Ruyang is only 5 years old."

"He started to starve before he had a chance to eat anything good."

"Where can I borrow food?"

"And today is the 3rd, the day for every household to buy food supplies."

"I also saw your family carrying food back on bicycles during the day."
