The couple made a living in the 1950s

"Sister and sister-in-law are here."

When Li Fanglei and Meng Xiaoou saw her, Fan Xiaojuan also noticed them coming.

"Yes, yes."

This department store is not a place to talk, so the four of them simply said hello.

Fan Xiaojuan took Li Fanglei and Meng Xiaoou and followed her elder sister downstairs to the warehouse.

Fang Xu had not been married for long, and Meng Xiaoou and Fan Xiaojuan had just known each other for a short time.

They usually had no time to spend time together.

At this moment, they gradually became closer.

The warehouse of the Qianmen Street Department Store is in the backyard of the store.

Li Fanglei looked at her elder sister-in-law, took the key from her trouser pocket and opened the warehouse door.

What came into view were piles of cloth placed together.

Fan Xiaojuan took the two of them in.

She stood beside her elder sister and watched her elder sister-in-law and her elder sister-in-law select cloth together.

Yesterday morning, this batch of defective cloth had just been put into storage.

At noon, my elder sister took the opportunity of her break to go home and inform my mother.

My mother went to her workplace to tell her that the street office was not busy at that time.

She did not dare to leave her post without permission, and it was my mother who helped her buy the cloth.

Usually, my elder sister-in-law was busy and had no time.

She asked my sister to help keep these cloths last night.

Otherwise, they would have been divided up by others.

If they did not come to pick cloths today, my sister would not be able to close the warehouse.

The warehouse in front was cleared out as soon as the department store opened this morning.

All these people in the store have relatives and friends at home.

Cloth coupons are in short supply now, and defective cloth without coupons is a treasure.

She knew in her heart that if it were not for the movement.

Her husband and herself would not have any intersection.

Her parents-in-law and elder sister-in-law are all college students, and their jobs are okay.

She married into a scholarly family, and her husband listens to her father-in-law.

She usually rests at home and flips through books from time to time.

She really likes her husband, and her elder sister-in-law gets along well with her.

Whenever there is something good, she thinks of her.

At this moment, there is a defective cloth that can be bought without a ticket.

Of course, she has to inform her elder sister-in-law.

Otherwise, she will not be able to get past her husband, let alone her parents-in-law.

Li Fanglei and Meng Xiaoou did not feel comfortable choosing more.

Each of them picked a piece of cloth with minor defects, and went back to the department store to pay and go home.

At this time, it is really not suitable for relatives to greet each other.

Although, the internal staff and relatives in the department store will have priority to buy some good things.

Everyone knows this.

However, no one will be seen blatantly, and they all do it in a cover-up.

Lin Yuyu and Bai Ye sat on the sofa and saw the two daughters-in-law coming back.

She smiled and raised her hand, and poured hawthorn water for both of them and put it on the dining table.

The hawthorn water had just been boiled and was still hot.

Knock, knock, knock...

Lin Yuyu reached out and picked up the magnolia cup to drink hawthorn water.

She heard someone knocking on her door.

She tilted her head slightly and smiled at Bai Ye.

Bai Ye met his wife's gaze, raised his eyebrows slightly and couldn't help sighing.

He stood up to open the door.

Lin Yuyu saw him stand up, put down the magnolia cup in her hand and stood up.

Bai Ye opened the door and saw Liu Chunqing standing outside with a bun.

"Hanyu, come here quickly."

"This is Engineer Wang's wife, Comrade Liu Chunqing"

Liu Chunqing looked at the couple standing in front of him, and a light flashed in his eyes.

The couple are both good-looking, and it is the first time he has seen Deputy Chief Engineer Bai's wife.

"Deputy Chief Engineer Bai, here are some steamed buns that have just been steamed at home."

As she spoke, she handed the enamel bowl with buns in her hand to Lin Yuyu who was standing next to Bai Ye.

"I heard that your family moved in today, so I brought it over for the children to try."

"Thank you, I am Bai Ye's lover Lin Yuyu."

Lin Yuyu reached out to take the enamel bowl and smiled at the woman at the door.

The woman looked to be in her forties, neatly dressed and clean.

Her eyes were calm, giving a good impression.

The two of them watched Liu Chunqing turn around and go home before closing the door.

Lin Yuyu came to the kitchen with the enamel bowl and put six buns into her own sunflower-shaped plate.

She raised her hand and gently stroked the plum blossom pattern on it, with a smile on her face.

Back then, these pots and pans were placed in the space.

She still likes them now.

When she eats these years, she feels happy every time she sees this beautiful plum blossom pattern.

Lin Yu looked at the six buns on the sunflower-shaped plate and thought about what gift to give back to the Wang family.

At this time, six buns were a great gesture of sincerity.

She put the buns away and came out to see that only the two daughters-in-law were in the living room.

She pushed open the door of the master bedroom and saw that Bai Ye was sitting at the desk drawing a blueprint.

Lin Yu walked gently to the bedside and sat down without disturbing him.

She and A Ye graduated from college and have been13 years have passed.

In the past ten years, I have been a deputy section chief.

Aye was just promoted to deputy chief engineer last year and gets a second-level technical salary.

278.5 yuan per month, 179.5 yuan more than me.

Government agencies are based on seniority, and Wan Ling will not be promoted unless she makes mistakes.

I have always been a deputy section chief.

Aye's unit also relies on seniority, but it still depends more on ability.

Although Aye studied architecture in both of his lives.

The architectural knowledge in the previous life is very important for the newly established New China.

However, he really worked hard to build this country.

He never stopped learning humbly because he had experienced more lives.

He often said that sentence, "The ancient architectural culture of China is exquisite and contains the great wisdom of the ancients."

Bai Ye felt the gaze of his wife and did not look back.

He had to finish the drawings in his hand quickly and wait for the children to return to the courtyard.

So that he could stay with Hanhan.

It was exactly eleven o'clock when Dabao and his brother came back from shopping.

Meng Xiaoou had already made the white rice.

In the kitchen, Li Fanglei saw that there was only a kerosene stove on the operating table.

There was also a small stove for burning earth heating on the ground.

For a moment, she was a little hesitant.

At home, at least four big pots were used to prepare meals together.

It was really unusual for them to cook with only one stove and one furnace.

Erbao saw his wife standing there in a daze when he entered the kitchen.

He took a look at the cramped space in the kitchen and quietly withdrew.

The kitchen on the family building side could only accommodate two people to turn around and move around.

Because the kitchen was small and crowded, Lin Hanyu decided to cook less.

She took a look at the pork belly, pig ears and cabbage bought by her two sons.

And Aye, the rapeseed and eggs brought from the courtyard.

For lunch, I made braised pork, cold-mixed pig ears and stir-fried rapeseed with Chinese cabbage.

And I made egg custard for the children.

It was already 1:30 p.m. when they finished lunch.

Lin Yuyu and Bai Ye sent the children to the gate of the family compound, and watched them leave before turning around and walking back together.

"Aye."

"Hmm?"

"My little girl, the last letter said that Mingyu will get married next month."

"Mingbo can't take a vacation, so he can't come back."

Lin Yuyu's voice became lower and lower, revealing a hint of depression.

Bai Ye felt very uncomfortable.

Their little girl lived a safe and carefree life in the army.

There was just one thing that was difficult to be complete, that he and Yuyu couldn't see her all the time.

All the family members work in government agencies, so it is not easy to take a long vacation.

If you want to see your little girl often, you have to see if your son-in-law can be transferred to the Beijing Military Region.

The family compound of the design institute does not have the service center in the military compound.

Lin Yuyu and Bai Ye just walked a few steps and saw a few female comrades riding bicycles.

Carrying things, they came in from the gate.

She didn't look at them, and they would live in the same courtyard in the future.

Who can get along well with whom, or long-term contact is required.

Lin Yuyu looked at Bai Ye's face, and the doubt flashed across her face.

Smiled slightly in her heart.

Ye didn't know these people either.

The two of them were not in a hurry to go home, and walked downstairs to the family building.

They saw a slightly fat middle-aged woman who was unfamiliar, walking out of the building.

When she saw them, her steps paused slightly.

She raised her feet and walked away quickly.

Lin Hanyu and Bai Ye didn't take it seriously. They were neighbors in the building.

They would get to know each other slowly in the future.

Because it was a newly built family building, Bai Ye was one of the main architects.

Many of his ideas were adopted into the building.

Lin Hanyu walked in the clean corridor, and her mood became cheerful.

As soon as they went upstairs, they saw Sun Jianguo opening the door and coming out.

"Deputy Chief Engineer Bai, you've moved in too."

"Well, you're going out."

"Yes, I'm going back to my mother's house with Jiabao's mother."

"See you later, Deputy Chief Engineer Bai."

He went downstairs while talking.

Lin Hanyu turned around and took out the key to open the door, but didn't see Bai Ye's slightly gloomy face.

Sun Jianguo has always had a mediocre reputation in the unit.

Bai Ye saw Lin Hanyu open the door and didn't think much about it, so he followed her into the house.

The children had all left, leaving only the two of them.

Lin Hanyu was still a little uncomfortable for a while, she sat on the sofa in a daze

Bai Ye raised his lips slightly and walked forward.

He picked her up and put her on the bed in the master bedroom, and then he lay down on it.

"Hanhan, take a nap."

Lin HanyuHe tilted his head slightly and looked at Bai Ye who had closed his eyes.

There was nothing to do now, so he could take a nap.

It was already forty minutes later when Dabao and the others returned to the courtyard.

As soon as they pushed the tricycle into the back house, they saw Wang Lai Di's grandmother arguing with Grandma Jiang.

A circle of neighbors surrounded them.

"You are so great just because you have a pension, what is there to brag about."

"My eldest grandson Bao Zu has a son."

"Do you have one?"

"What's the point of finding an equally powerful relative."

"Look at whose men and women are almost thirty years old and still don't have children?"

"It's not that they can't have children."

"So what if you, Zhu Yun, have a pension, who will you leave the money to spend?"

"Don't let no one spend it in the end."

When Erbao heard this, he turned his head and looked at his brother.

The two brothers saw anger in each other's eyes.

Does this old lady mean that their sister can't have children?

There were no other members of the Jiang family in the crowd, and no one knew where they were at the moment.

Only Zhang Daya and Grandma Jiang from the Wang family were throwing a tantrum.

It seemed that the others were not at home, but Wang Lai Di's mother could control her mother-in-law.

She didn't come out at the moment, so it seemed that she was not at home.

Dabao and Erbao both turned their heads to look at their wives.

Meng Xiaoou and Li Fanglei received their husbands' signals and stepped forward through the crowd.

Let everyone see them.

The neighbors gradually quieted down.

Zhang Daya saw Li Fanglei and the others coming over, and her voice became smaller and smaller.

She lowered her head silently, not letting others see her expression.

She had been displeased with the old lady of the Jiang family for a long time.

The old lady of the Jiang family was one year younger than herself.

In such a large courtyard, she was the only one of their age who could receive a pension.

She had a good son, powerful and rich.

She didn't dare to provoke her before, but it was different now.

No matter how powerful her son is, he still dares to abuse his power for personal gain.

If the Jiang family dares to do this, I will report them.

Moreover, the Bai family went out in the morning, and the rest of the Jiang family was not at home.

She doesn't have to be afraid of anyone.

Dabao and the others don't know what Zhang Daya is thinking.

At this moment, she is still unhappy to see her calm down.

Li Fanglei stood in front of Zhang Daya and looked at her, "Aunt Zhang, why do you say bad things about Qingshu."

"Whenever we want to have the next generation, we can have it."

"Aunt Zhang, you worry too much."

They saw that Zhang Daya didn't look up or speak.

Meng Xiaoou and Li Fanglei stepped forward and helped Aunt Jiang walk to the back room.

For Aunt Zhang, a 68-year-old old lady, they really didn't have a good solution for the time being.

"Grandma, my Grandpa Jiadong and Grandma Ai are not at home?"

Aunt Jiang looked at Yiyi, who was jumping in front of her.

The smile on her face became even bigger.

"Your grandfather Jiadong and grandmother Ai have gone to the department store to buy fabrics and haven't come back yet."

While she was talking, she looked at Li Fanglei.

"I have to thank Leilei for this. Please also say thank you to Xiaojuan and me."

"Grandma, you're welcome."

Li Fanglei met Aunt Jiang's gaze and smiled.

She wouldn't tell many people about such good things as selling defective fabrics.

Qingshu is Grandma Jiang's granddaughter-in-law, so she naturally has to give face to her sister-in-law.

"The wintersweet in your yard is fragrant. I still like it after smelling it for so many years."

"It's fragrant and refreshing."

"Yeah, I like to smell it too."

Meng Xiaoou listened to Aunt Jiang's words and nodded with a smile.

As soon as they walked into the fourth courtyard, they smelled the fragrance of wintersweet coming from their own yard.

I still remember when I just married Qingyi.

Looking at the small courtyard at home, flowers bloom all year round, and vegetables and fruits are not left behind.

She knew that her mother-in-law was a delicate person.

As expected, her quality of life after marriage is better than when she was a girl at home.

Because of her good life, her second sister who was confused from time to time.

always said sour words to her.

Dabao and his family separated from Aunt Jiang at the door of Jiang's house.

A few steps further is the door of their own courtyard.

Erbao took out the key to open the moon door, and raised his hand to lock the door after everyone came in.

Since the children in the family could walk, the moon door of their family has been locked.

For fear that the children would open the door and go out when they were not looking.

The parents-in-law always take good care of their children.

The mother-in-law once told her son and two little nieces that they were the most precious babies.

People around her often express their feelings in a subtle way.

That was the first time I heard an elder express his cherishment for the younger generation so directly.
