The couple made a living in the 1950s.

After breakfast, Sanbao cleaned the kitchen and the house.

From the sideboard in the restaurant, he took out a set of palace lantern pot and narrow-mouthed cup for sour plum soup.

After filling the bowls with sour plum soup, they were placed on a tray and brought to the round bamboo table under the arbour in the yard.

In their house, the pots and cups used for sour plum soup, jasmine tea, Tieguanyin and Biluochun are not mixed together.

The sour plum soup my mother makes is especially delicious and much better than the ones sold outside.

Knowing that she and her brothers like to drink it, they can have it in the morning when they are at home as long as they are not in a hurry.

Mom would prepare some sour plum soup and put it on the dining table for them to drink.

In the yard, Sanbao was sitting under the arbour, leisurely drinking sour plum soup.

There were strawberries and watermelons on the lotus petal plate and crabapple plate on the bamboo table respectively.

She reached out, picked up a strawberry, put it in her mouth, and squinted her eyes because of the sweetness.

These strawberries and watermelons were birthday gifts for her and her brother when they were children.

During the three years of natural disasters, most of the flower beds were planted with sweet potatoes, white potatoes and potatoes.

But my parents never told me not to plant strawberries and watermelons in the flower beds.

dong dong dong...

Sanbao was lost in thought when he heard someone knocking on the Moon Gate door.

She stood up and opened the moon door, and saw a young man who looked familiar standing outside the door.

He is about the same height as his two brothers, but not as fair as them.

Jiang Mingbo looked at the girl standing in front of him with eyes full of confusion, and lowered his head to hide the self-mockery in his eyes.

When he looked up again, his eyes were still full of smiles as when he came.

"Qingshu, I heard from grandma yesterday that you were on vacation at home, so I came to see you."

When Sanbao heard the low voice coming from his ear, his eyes lit up.

"You are Brother Mingbo. I didn't even dare to recognize you just now."

"come on in"

Sanbao turned sideways to let Jiang Mingbo enter the yard.

In the Bai family's living room, Jiang Mingbo sat on the sofa and looked at Sanbao who was helping him pour tea with a smile in his eyes.

They hadn't seen each other since the year he went to Harbin to study.

"Brother Mingbo, how long will you stay at home this time?"

Sanbao raised his hand and pushed the Magnolia cup filled with Biluochun towards Jiang Mingbo, signaling him to taste his cooking skills.

Jiang Mingbo obediently picked up the magnolia cup, took a sip of tea, smiled and nodded.

"I will return to the military area next Monday."

"Which military region is Brother Mingbo assigned to?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Mingbo paused holding the Magnolia Cup.

"I'm assigned to the Yang City Military District, which is not close to Jing City."

After he finished speaking, he couldn't help but probe into the emotions in Sanbao's eyes.

Sanbao was confused and could only smile sweetly at him.

At noon, in the Finance Department of the Municipal Public Security Bureau.

"Sister Yu, shall we have lunch together?"

Lin Hanyu was just about to get up and go to the cafeteria.

Then they heard the voice of Zhang Liyan, a female college student who had just been assigned to their department the day before yesterday.

The desk next to the door that she used to use is now used by Zhang Liyan.

When Zhang Liyan saw Lin Hanyu nod, she happily walked up to her, took her arm, and they walked out of the office together.

Li Huiying followed behind the two of them and shook her head secretly.

"The calculation in Zhang Liyan's eyes is too obvious, she can see it."

Thinking of this, she took a few quick steps forward and walked on the other side of Lin Hanyu.

In the cafeteria, Zhang Liyan secretly swallowed her saliva as she looked at the braised pork in Lin Manyu's aluminum lunch box.

The food in the cafeteria was delicious today. Li Huiying put the money into Lin Manyu's hand and shook her hand playfully.

Smiling, he picked up two meals, left the cafeteria and went to eat with his youngest son at his school.

Her eldest son, second son and third son have graduated and been assigned jobs.

Now only the youngest son is in the second grade of primary school, and their family’s living conditions are getting better and better.

Zhang Liyan looked at Li Huiying's cheerful back, turned her head and looked at Lin Manyu with a smile.

"Sister Yu and Sister Ying have such a good relationship, it's really enviable."

Lin Hanyu held back her laughter and nodded at her, then picked up her chopsticks and started eating.

Seeing that Lin Hanyu had already started eating, Zhang Liyan also picked up the stir-fried cabbage from her aluminum lunch box and started eating.

In fact, the first time she met Lin Hanyu was not on the day she reported to the bureau, but earlier than this time.

Her aunt's family and Lin Hanyu lived in the same courtyard. Her uncle was Li Zezheng and her aunt was Wang Xianggui.

They lived in the room to the east of the main house in the fourth courtyard of the main courtyard.

She had heard of Lin Hanyu when she went to the courtyard to visit her aunt.

She also knew that the Bai family had two sons, who were good-looking, good at studying and came from a well-off family.

It was indeed thanks to her family’s efforts that she was assigned to work at the Public Security Bureau after graduation.

But the family was able to make such arrangements for the sisters not because the parents loved their daughters.

It is to enable the daughters in the family to find good husbands and give back to their parents in the future.

She would rather wait at home like she did when she was seeing her sisters.

Go and show her those old men whose original wives have died and still have children.

It would be better for her to find a young and promising partner for herself.

Lin Hanyu looked at Zhang Liyan, who was still in a daze while eating, and a sneer flashed in his eyes.

Although she looks harmless, she is not someone who is easy to bully.

Why on earth did Zhang Liyan have the courage to stick to her?

After lunch, Lin Hanyu walked to the office as usual.

However, this time, Zhang Liyan was beside her.

In the evening, when Lin Hanyu returned to the courtyard, it had already started to become lively.

This is the time when every household prepares dinner.

"Just got off work at the Bai family? You came back pretty early today."

Lin Hanyu looked at him and smiled, and Wang Xianggui, who was washing vegetables at the door of her house, nodded.

"I just got back from get off work. Sister-in-law Li is still busy and I'm going home to cook."

She didn't stop walking, but there was a hint of doubt in her eyes.

Wang Xianggui is in a good mood today? Seeing her come back so enthusiastically.

Normally, they hardly ever talk to each other.

When Lin Hanyu entered the house, Sanbao was still cooking dinner in the kitchen.

She looked at her mother who pushed the door open and walked forward with a smile.

"Mom, I bought some pig's trotters and pig's ears today."

"In the evening, we had braised pig's trotters, mixed pig ears and scrambled eggs with cucumber."

Lin Hanyu looked at the little girls who were surrounding her and waiting to be praised, and a smile flashed across her eyes.

No matter how old you are, you are still a child in front of your mother.

She raised her hand and gently tapped her daughter's nose.

"It's hard to buy pig's trotters and pig's ears in the market now. We three have to go to the meat processing factory to queue up."

After saying that, Lin Manyu turned around and went back to the bedroom to change clothes.

She didn't notice that her little girl behind her seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Sanbao sat back on the small square stool, thinking about what happened in the afternoon.

This afternoon, she didn't queue up for the pig's trotters and pig's ears.

The father of Mingbo's comrade-in-arms worked in a meat processing factory and had reserved some pig's trotters and ears for him early on.

Brother Mingbo gave her some of them, and she had paid for these things.

Thinking of this, she blinked her eyes and said that it was okay not to tell her mother about this.
