Chapter 97: Life in the Courtyard 8

"Brother Mingbo, come here for lunch too."

When everyone heard Fang Jun speak, they also looked up at the door.

At this moment, Jiang Mingbo had just walked in and was followed by three men of about his age.

"You guys eat here too."

"Well, my sister, Qingshu and I are out playing."

Fang Jun looked at Jiang Mingbo who was walking towards them and smiled.

Brother Mingbo is the first child in their courtyard to be admitted to university.

He was attending the best military academy in China, and all the boys in the academy admired him to some extent.

"I'm going back to the army on Monday, and I'm going to have dinner here with a few friends today."

It seemed that Jiang Mingbo was talking to Li Fangjun, but actually his eyes were always on Sanbao.

He looked at Sanbao eating happily with his little mouth, and a hint of doting flashed across his eyes.

Then, he hid it out of habit.

Jiang Mingbo and Sanbao Li Fanglei said hello to each other and turned back to look for his own friends.

Li Wenjie looked at Jiang Mingbo's back as he left, thoughtfully.

She turned around and looked at Sanbao affectionately, "Qingshu, is this the neighbor brother you grew up with?"

"Yeah." Sanbao met her eager eyes and subconsciously frowned slightly on his pretty little brows, then relaxed them.

"In our yard, children of similar ages basically grow up playing together."

Li Wenjie wanted to ask something more, but Liu Huiyan interrupted her and changed the subject.

Except for Li Fanglei and her brother, everyone had their own thoughts on the meal.

In the afternoon, Sanbao and his four roommates went to visit the imperial palace before returning home.

In the Bai family's courtyard, Sanbao was lying on a rocking chair under the arbour, rocking himself.

They walked a lot today, and instead of feeling tired when they were strolling outside just now, they seemed to be in high spirits.

Now, I feel a little sleepy.

When Lin Hanyu came home from get off work, she didn't find her little daughter in the house.

As soon as she approached the pergola, she saw her little daughter sleeping soundly on a rocking chair surrounded by a round bamboo table.

"Sanbao, go back to your room and sleep. There will be more and more mosquitoes later."

Lin Hanyu gently pressed her daughter's forehead a few times, hoping to wake her up.

When Bai Ye got home, Lin Hanyu was cooking dinner in the kitchen and Sanbao was still asleep in his bedroom.

He went back to his room, changed his clothes, and then went downstairs to the kitchen.

In the kitchen, Lin Hanyu's eyes gradually filled with smiles when she saw Bai Ye coming in.

"Are you busy today?"

"I'm fast at drawing blueprints, and I don't have to work too many hours with my current workload."

Bai Ye smiled and brought the eggplant in front of his wife to himself, then raised his hand and started to break it open skillfully.

"Hello, how do you cook this eggplant tonight?"

"how do you want to do it?"

He met his wife's smiling eyes and started smiling too.

"Wait a minute, I'll peel some potatoes and we'll have eggplant and potato stew."

Sanbao was woken up by hunger. She touched her belly and stretched.

He reached for the kerosene lamp on the bedside table, sat up and lit it.

She was holding a kerosene lamp and had just walked to the first floor when she heard the wall clock ringing.

It's already half past eight in the evening.

There are two clocks on the wall in their house, which read six o'clock and six-thirty every morning.

It rings once at 7 o'clock and 8:30 in the evening.

In the kitchen, Sanbao lifted the lid of the aluminum pot.

She saw her parents warming up the pot for her with eggplant stewed with potatoes, scrambled eggs and millet porridge.

She sat down at the dining table with a smile on her face and started eating dinner.

In the bedroom on the second floor, Bai Ye touched his wife's long hair in his arms.

"Hello, my daughter has already gotten up to eat dinner."

"Let's go to sleep too. We have to go to work tomorrow."

"Okay," Lin Hanyu lay in Bai Ye's arms with her eyes slightly open.

"I don't have to wake my daughter up for dinner later."

At this time, in the girls' dormitory of Kyoto University.

Li Wenjie lay on her bed, unable to fall asleep.

Today, the man she met was really nice.

He is tall and big.

His handsome and delicate appearance coupled with his strong body makes him look very powerful.

The neatly cut hair and the posture made him look like a soldier.

She is already 25 years old. If she hadn't been in college, her family would have let her get married long ago.

If she could marry into Beijing, her job would also be assigned to Beijing.

This is the capital, a city filled with nobles and aristocrats both in the past and now.

Who wouldn't want to live here?

It’s Sunday in a blink of an eye, and today Dabao and Erbao are also on holiday at home.

After lunch, Lin Manyu and his family went out and walked towards the bus stop.

At that time, movie tickets were mostly 1.5 cents each.

One and a half cents could be used to buy a pound of rice during that period.

Nowadays, most families are still reluctant to eat refined grains regularly.

Even so, you still have to wait in line for a long time to buy movie tickets.

Ultimately, it’s because there are too many people and too few movie tickets.

Many people who wanted to see a movie queued for half a day to buy tickets.

By the time it was his turn, all the seats in the cinema were sold out.

You will have to wait and queue up again next time.

It was already two o'clock in the afternoon when Lin Hanyu and his friends arrived at the entrance of the cinema.

The movie starts in half an hour.

At this moment, Bai Ye was holding the food box he brought from home.

It's filled with raisins and peeled peanuts.

This was a habit they developed when they went to the theater to listen to plays.

There is a small shop next to the cinema that sells Arctic Ocean soda.

Sanbao took the money she got from her eldest brother and turned to walk into the small shop.

Now Beibingyang soda costs 3 cents a bottle.

If you can return the empty bottle, you can get a 2 cent refund.

Movies from this period were generally war films.

In the cinema, Lin Hanyu took advantage of the fact that it was difficult to see people inside.

He raised his hand and secretly fed the raisins in his hand into Bai Ye's mouth.

Bai Ye raised his eyebrows slightly, smiled, lowered his head and put the raisins into his mouth.

At this moment, there are three treasures sitting next to them.

I was eating and watching a movie seriously.

It was exactly 3:30 in the afternoon when they came out of the cinema.

Wait for Sanbao, take five empty bottles of Beibingyang soda to the small shop and exchange one yuan for it.

The whole family then walked leisurely towards the bus stop.

In the courtyard, as soon as Lin Hanyu and his friends entered the back room, they ran into Wang Laidie who came out from her mother's house.

"Uncle Bai, Aunt Lin, did you just come back?"

Lin Hanyu smiled at Wang Lai Di and nodded, "You are not on duty this week."

"Well, I'm on duty next Sunday."

"Auntie Lin, if you have anything to say, just come to the neighborhood office and find me."

"When I have nothing else to do, I stay at work all the time."

Upon hearing this, Lin Hanyu and Bai Ye looked at each other tacitly. This girl is quite polite.

In the fourth courtyard, Wang Xianggui was sitting at the door chatting with Wang Laidie and her mother-in-law Li Guiqin.

She saw Lin Manyu and his family coming back and looked at Lin Manyu with a smile.

"Bai's wife, aren't your children supposed to graduate from college next year?"
