The couple made a living in the 1950s

At night, the Wang family, a family of five, squeezed into a house in the back house of the main courtyard.

Wang Lai Di couldn't fall asleep no matter how hard she listened to her father's snoring.

She was born in July 1942, one month younger than Jiang Mingbo.

She had always thought that Jiang Mingbo was smart enough to go to junior high school.

She was in the fourth grade of primary school, which was a normal reading speed.

Today, she saw the three treasures of the Bai family and Li Fanglei in the second grade of high primary school at school, and she felt bad.

At this time, the three treasures were sleeping soundly in the south bedroom on the first floor of the Bai family's courtyard.

In the north bedroom next door, Lin Manyu had just finished taking a bath and was lying in Bai Ye's arms in a daze, letting him help her wipe her hair.

"Wife, when will we sleep in separate rooms from the three treasures?"

"They will be seven years old soon."

Lin Manyu glared at him quietly in a place where Bai Ye couldn't see.

"It's time to ask them to sleep in separate rooms, but she's almost seven years old, and there's still more than half a year to go."

Bai Ye didn't hear any more echoes, and when he looked down, he found that his young wife was sleeping soundly.

He gently carried her back to the south bedroom, put her in the quilt, and then lay down himself.

"Ding ding ding" At 5:30 in the morning, the new wall clock hanging on the north wall of the south bedroom on the first floor rang on time.

Lin Yu stretched with her eyes closed. She had to get up and cook. The three children had to go to school at 8 o'clock.

Bai Ye looked at the lazy Lin Yu in his arms, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth and kiss her on the forehead.

"You sleep a little longer, I'll go make breakfast."

"Okay," Lin Yu smiled and closed her eyes obediently.

When she woke up again, the three children had already finished breakfast and were preparing to leave for school in the living room.

Every morning, their father sends them to school, and their mother sometimes likes to stay in bed.

"Mom" The three children saw Lin Manyu coming out of the bedroom door and happily surrounded her.

They each got a kiss from their mother before going out to school with their father.

Li Ze was in the living room at home. When he saw Bai Ye bringing the three children over, he took his daughter out.

The two of them usually pick up and drop off their children to school together.

After watching Bai Ye and the three children go out, Lin Manyu went to the bathroom to wash up.

In the kitchen, Lin Manyu picked up the aluminum pot lid and saw the boiled eggs, millet porridge and braised beef in the pot, all of which were still steaming.

At the door of the classroom, Bai Ye and Li Ze watched the four children sit down obediently in their seats before turning around and leaving.

The two separated at the school gate. Li Ze was anxious to go to work, and Bai Ye was walking back home.

When Bai Ye got home, Lin Manyu was eating breakfast in the restaurant.

She saw Bai Ye sitting down next to her, reached out to pick up the kettle on the dining table, and poured Bai Ye a cup of tea she had just brewed.

"Try it, Meimei gave me Lu'an Guapian."

Bai Ye took a sip from the cup and nodded, "Wife, when are we going to let the children sleep in separate rooms?"

"Aye, are you serious?" Lin Yu looked at Bai Ye.

"Yeah" Bai Ye put down the cup and looked at Lin Yu.

Lin Yu held Bai Ye's hand and nodded, "Then let's divide the rooms for them first?"

At noon, in the Central Primary School of Xisi District, Beijing, the three treasures and Li Fanglei were queuing up with their aluminum lunch boxes to get food.

At this time, students are eating lunch at school, and each person needs to take 25 kilograms of food to school every month.

In the classroom, Sanbao was staring at the lunch she had brought back. They had steamed bread and stewed cabbage again for lunch today. The cabbage in school tasted different from the one her mother cooked.

From school to now, these dishes have been served every day for lunch. She ate them freshly in the first few days, but now she can't eat them anymore.

Sanbao thought about how her parents had repeatedly told them not to tell anyone what they usually eat at home.

At this moment, she obediently picked up the chopsticks, picked up the cabbage and put it in her mouth. She turned around and saw Leilei sitting next to her, eating the steamed bread with tears in her eyes.

Her mood suddenly improved.

Sanbao imitated her brothers and reached out to touch Li Fanglei's little head.

Li Fanglei stared at her blankly with her big eyes.

Dabao and Erbao sat next to her and laughed.

In the kitchen of the Bai family, Lin Hanyu looked at the peanut oil and lard in the lotus leaf lid jar and lotus seed jar.

He raised his hand and took out a bucket of peanut oil from the space, filling the lotus leaf lid jar.

In the living room, Bai Ye was sitting on the sofa reading political knowledge, and saw Lin Yu sitting next to him.

He put down the book, hugged her and leaned on the sofa.

"Don't want to make lunch?" Bai Ye raised his hand to look at the watch on his wrist, "It's already this time, how about we go out to eat?"

"If you want to eat shabu-shabu tripe, let's go to Donglaishun Restaurant." Lin Yu hugged Bai Ye's waist.

"After dinner, let's go to Dongdan Vegetable Market to buy some fat meat to make oil., the lard at home has just been used up. "

In the evening, the three treasures smelled the meaty aroma coming from the kitchen as soon as they entered the house.

They quickly changed their clothes and shoes and handed them to their father.

They ran to the kitchen.

When they opened the kitchen door, they saw their mother refining lard.

Lin Yuyu saw them coming in, turned around and took out three chicken heart bowls from the round corner cabinet, put oil shuttles in the bowls, and poured soy sauce on them.

In the dining room, the three treasures took chopsticks in their little hands and put oil shuttles into their mouths, one after another.

For dinner, they had braised fish, braised pork ribs with dried cowpeas, stir-fried rapeseed and white rice.

The three treasures ate happily, and Lin Yuyu and Bai Ye looked at each other silently.

"What are we having for lunch at school today?"

The eldest treasure swallowed the braised fish in his mouth, "Mom, we have always eaten stewed cabbage and stewed potatoes alternately. "

After listening to her elder brother, Sanbao nodded her head, "The staple food is steamed bread or steamed potatoes."

Bai Ye sighed secretly in his heart.

"Mom, serve the rice."

Lin Yuyu took the rice bowl handed over by Erbao, silently opened the big covered bowl, and filled him with rice.

After the meal, Bai Ye took Dabao and Erbao to wash the dishes in the kitchen.

Sanbao chatted with her mother in the living room.

Lin Yuyu hugged Sanbao in her arms, "Are you happy in school?"

"Happy, my brother and I have learned those questions before, and the four of us play together every day."

As if thinking of something, Sanbao put his little head on his mother's chest.

"Mom, I can't eat at noon every day, and I'm very hungry in the afternoon. Today, Leilei was so hungry that she cried. "

At this moment, Li Ze's family in the second courtyard of the main courtyard was having dinner.

They were eating braised pork, pork with pickled cabbage, Chinese cabbage stewed with tofu, and sorghum rice.

Li Fanglei sat at the dining table, looking at the food on the table with tears in her eyes, waiting for her parents to come out of the kitchen before eating.

Li Fangxu, who was sitting next to her, stared at his sister blankly. When Li Fanglei found out, he glared at him.

Li Ze, looking at his daughter who was eating mouthful after mouthful, sighed slightly.

"My daughter, when Daddy picks you up tomorrow, he will definitely not forget to bring you some biscuits. Eat slowly. Eating fast is not good for your stomach."

Zhang Mei saw that her daughter only ate braised pork, so she reached out and picked up a piece of Chinese cabbage for her.

"Mom and your aunt Yu have learned to grow vegetables in the house in winter, so our family has no shortage of fresh vegetables to eat in this season. You should eat more vegetables to have a balanced nutrition."
