The couple made a living in the 1950s.

At this moment, the Jiang family is in the back yard of the main courtyard.

Aunt Jiang was also cooking dinner in the kitchen.

The kitchen door was closed and Jiang Mingbo was inside helping his grandmother light the fire.

Aunt Jiang turned around and looked at her eldest grandson who was sitting there with his head down and not saying anything, her eyes full of heartache.

She gently covered the pot, bent down, picked up the small stool and sat next to her eldest grandson.

"Grandma knows that you like Qingshu, and I like her too."

"That girl was very popular when she was little, with fair skin and tender breasts."

"She has grown up to be a good person in every aspect. In the past, she would have looked like the mistress of a large family."

"Grandma knows you are young and handsome."

"But if one knows how to be lustful, then he will admire young girls; if one has a wife, then he will admire his wife."

Aunt Jiang met her eldest grandson's aggrieved eyes and gently held his hand.

"Grandma knows that you like Qingshu not just because you are lustful."

"You like it from the bottom of your heart, and you have been trying hard to hide your feelings over the years."

"What grandma wants to tell you is the latter sentence. If you have a wife, you will admire her."

"You can make Qingshu's child your wife."

Aunt Jiang sighed softly and looked at her outstanding grandson with heartache.

How could the Bai family's wife easily let her little girl have a confused mother-in-law like Lin Ai?

She watched as the light in her eldest grandson's eyes dimmed little by little.

Aunt Jiang closed her eyes gently. Her eldest grandson was an excellent child with a strong character and hard work.

Everything has been going smoothly along the way, but the only thing I can't get is the most important person.

"Grandma, if Qingshu is willing to marry me."

"Then Uncle Bai and Aunt Yu won't disagree with our marriage."

Aunt Jiang met the eyes of her eldest grandson and shook her head reluctantly.

"Mingbo, you can ask Qingshu if she is willing to marry you."

"Your Uncle Bai and Auntie Yu will definitely make things difficult for you, but they don't want to make things difficult for Qingshu."

"Although this matter sounds like it goes against the parents' wishes and the matchmaker's words."

"It doesn't contradict the freedom of marriage that young people talk about nowadays."

"It's just that what your mother has done in the past few years has made Qingshu's parents look down on her."

"It's obviously a good marriage, but it doesn't seem so open to deliberately bypass the girl's parents."

"But, if you can be good to Qingshu for the rest of your life, that's another matter."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Mingbo lowered his head to hide the tears in his eyes.

"Grandma, a gentleman is open and honest. If Qingshu just doesn't like me in the end, then forget it."

"Dad, you're back."

Bai Ye had just entered his yard pushing his bicycle when he saw his daughter coming out of the house.

Looking at his daughter's face that looked 80% like Hanhan, his heart softened.

"What do you do at home today?"

"There's nothing to do, so I just read a book, drink tea, and bask in the sun."

Sanbao took the briefcase from his father and followed his father into the house.

"It's Sunday off, Dad will take you and Mom to the movies."

"Dad, can I really buy a ticket?"

Bai Ye heard the surprise in his daughter's tone and turned around to look at her lovingly.

"can!"

"Dad, how long did you queue up to buy the movie tickets? Does your company allow you to waste your time here?"

"I have a colleague at work whose relative works at a movie theater, so he helped me reserve the tickets."

Upon hearing this, Sanbao nodded with a smile and followed his father into the house.

Lin Manyu was sitting on the sofa in the living room and had heard the conversation between the father and daughter in the yard a long time ago.

At this moment, he was looking at Bai Ye with a smile.

"Hurry up and wash your hands and eat. Your little girl made dinner all by herself."

At night, in Sanbao’s bedroom on the second floor.

Sanbao was sitting in front of the dressing table, taking care of her skin and hair.

Her dressing table, like her mother's, was filled with creams and ointments for skin and hair care.

These things are all made by my mother herself.

"dong dong dong"

When Sanbao heard the knock on the door, she happily got up to open it. Her mother said she would teach her how to make incense beads using the traditional method tonight.

It was almost 9:30 when Lin Hanyu returned to the bedroom. Bai Ye saw her push the door open.

Then he put the notes in his hand on the corner table and sat up from the sofa.

"Didn't I tell you to go to bed first?"

Lin Hanyu sat next to Bai Ye and hugged the pillow on the sofa in her arms.

"If you don't come back, I can't sleep by myself."

The next day, when Lin Hanyu and Bai Ye went downstairs, Sanbao was fiddling with the incense beads in front of the round table.

Lin Hanyu smiled and looked at Bai Ye.

Bai Ye turned his head and looked at the clock on the wall. It was only six o'clock in the morning.

Sanbao looked up and saw his father and mother coming down the stairs together, with smiles in their eyes.

"Mom and Dad, I've already prepared breakfast and put it in the kitchen."

Bai Ye met his daughter's bright eyes and a look of helplessness flashed in his eyes.

"You got up so early? You like making incense so much?"

"My mother said that the traditional method of mixing incense can keep its fragrance for a hundred years."

"I want to make it quickly to see how delicious it is."

"it is good"

Bai Ye took his wife's hand and walked towards the kitchen.

In the restaurant, Bai Ye peeled the boiled eggs and put them into Lin Manyu's sunflower plate with a smile.

"Wife, what kind of incense did you teach our daughter to make last night?"

Lin Yu swallowed the millet porridge in his mouth and said, "Jiang Zhenxiang."

"Take your time, there's no rush. I have to teach my daughter the recipes one by one."

"There are so many incense recipes handed down in the family that it's okay if the children can't learn all of them."

"After the reform and opening up, our family opened a perfume shop and used ancient recipes passed down thousands of years ago."

"Sanbao will be able to understand the mystery of the prescription by then."

"Just don't let the experienced masters hired by the incense shop fool you."

"Anyway, the recipe will always be in the hands of our family."

Bai Ye nodded, said nothing more, and ate the egg cake in the bowl.

Lin Hanyu looked at Bai Ye who was eating with his head down, as if thinking about something.

With her current physical condition, she should be able to have another child, as there are still few daughters in her family.

Bai Ye felt his wife's gaze and raised his head with a curled lip.

He met his wife's smiling eyes and his mood improved.

Seeing that Bai Ye was in a good mood, Lin Hanyu had an idea.

"Aye, many of our family's inheritances are indeed gender-selective."

"Just like the recipe for mixing incense, we asked our two sons but neither of them wanted to learn it."

"In the end, it was left to our little girl to learn on her own."

When Bai Ye heard what his wife said, his expression gradually became serious.

"Do you want to have another daughter?"

"Well, Ah Ye, do you think it's okay for us to have another daughter?"

Bai Ye looked at his wife seriously.

"When a mother has many children, she suffers."

"Don't think about having another child anymore."

When Lin Hanyu heard this, her face darkened.

Bai Ye saw that his wife was really angry and rubbed his forehead helplessly.

"Hanhan, you are almost forty years old now."

"If you damage your body by giving birth, what's the point of living in this life?"

"If we don't have another baby, don't we still have Dabao and Erbao?"

"After the reform and opening up, we will stock up on more courtyard houses in Beijing. Whichever of them gives birth to a granddaughter will get one."

"Give me several courtyard houses for every number of granddaughters I have."
