The couple made a living in the 1950s

At this time, Wang Lai Di was lying on the bed in the back house of the main courtyard, unable to sleep.

She was one of the few girls in the courtyard who could go to junior high school.

Her mother said that the country would assign her a job after she graduated.

She would not have to rely on others to live in this life, and would live as well as Li Fanglei's mother.

Zhang Daya, who was sleeping on the other side, had not slept yet.

She was thinking about what happened during the day. The two boys of the Bai family were young, but a woman three years older would bring gold bricks.

It was not impossible to be with Lai Di, and there was also Jiang Mingbo from the Jiang family. The couple of the Bai family would also have good jobs in the future.

The Bai family and the Jiang family would definitely be able to come up with the betrothal money for her eldest grandson to marry a wife.

In the early morning, every household in the courtyard was busy.

In the living room, Bai Ye smiled at the three treasures sitting beside him.

"You are going to high school soon, and you are already ten years old."

"You should do your own things and formally participate in housework."

"Starting tomorrow, you have to wash your own clothes and clean your own room."

"Dad and you will take turns to clean other parts of the house."

"We will also take turns to wash the dishes."

Lin Yu, who was busy cooking in the kitchen, didn't know that Bai Ye had already assigned all the future housework at home.

Sanbao looked at Bai Ye with his eyes wide open, "Dad, I saw you washing clothes for Mom."

Bai Ye paused and thought for a while. "Mom is tired of cooking, so Dad will wash the clothes."

"Your mom is cooking in the kitchen, I'll go and see."

Bai Ye looked at the children, ready to continue asking why, and quickly got up and walked to the kitchen.

Sanbao blinked and turned to look at his brothers.

"I want to be the last one to wash dishes and clean the house."

Seeing her brothers nod in agreement, she got up and followed her father into the kitchen.

In the kitchen, Lin Hanyu smiled at the two children who came in one after another.

Sanbao met her mother's eyes and smiled and stepped forward to hold Lin Hanyu.

"Mom promised me that she would buy a radio when she passed the high school entrance examination."

In the living room, they saw their father coming downstairs with a radio.

They all surrounded him excitedly. At this time, people had few ways to entertain themselves. If anyone had a radio, it would definitely be a happy thing.

Time passed in a flash. Soon after the start of school, the state promulgated the "Interim Measures for the Printing of Municipal and Town Food Quantity Supply Certificates".

People officially began to use food coupons for rationing.

It stipulates that for special manual laborers, 50 to 60 kilograms, the average shall not exceed 55 kilograms.

For heavy manual laborers, 40 to 49 kilograms, the average shall not exceed 44 kilograms.

For light manual laborers, 29 to 39 jin, and the average should not exceed 35 jin.

For staff members of institutions and groups, employees of public and private enterprises, shop assistants and other mental workers, 27 to 32 jin, and the average should not exceed 31 jin.

For college and high school students, 29 to 36 jin, and the average should not exceed 35 jin.

The flour purchase certificates issued in 1953 were also officially replaced with flour coupons.

College students like Lin Yuyu and Bai Ye were rationed 34 jin per month.

The three treasures were rationed 32 jin per month.

Their family had 164 jin of food coupons per month, and each person ate 32.8 jin of food per month.

Like other families in the courtyard, Lin Yuyu also bought a scale from the store.

The children were growing up.

Every time she cooked, she used a scale to weigh the food and put it in the pot like everyone else.

After putting it in the pot, she secretly put some food in the pot from the space.

Time passed slowly. In the Beijing University campus, Lin Manyu was walking towards the teacher's office.

Now is the time when all social classes are in need of college students.

After graduation, they were assigned to work in the place where their household registration was located.

Bai Ye was assigned to work as a designer in the Design Institute of Beijing Urban Planning Administration Bureau.

She was assigned to work as an accountant in the Public Security Bureau where Li Ze worked.

At this moment, the teacher was busy saying goodbye to the students who were about to leave Beijing.

Lin Manyu got her work certificate and said hello to the teacher, then left the office directly.

She was in Beijing, and if she wanted to meet the teacher in the future, she could come to the school, and she would not stay to share the time of other students.

Lin Manyu saw her roommates waiting for her at the school gate from a distance.

They had made a special agreement in their dormitory to buy train tickets to leave Beijing on the same day.

She, Li Lanyu, Zhang Qiulan, Liu Guiying and others were going to send everyone on the train.

Watching his roommates leave one after another, Lin Yu stood on the platform, unable to come back to his senses for a long time.

The scene of everyone in the dormitory when school started that year is still vivid in my mind.

When Lin Yu got home, Bai Ye hadn't come back yet.

The three treasures were studying in the living room, as they would take the college entrance examination next year.

Bao saw Lin Manyu sitting next to them and came over, "Mom, where's Dad?"

Erbao and Sanbao also looked over curiously when they heard their brother's words. Usually, mom and dad would come back together.

In the evening, Bai Ye pushed his bicycle into the back room and saw Jiang Mingbo rushing in.

Jiang Mingbo stopped when he saw Bai Ye and said, "Uncle Bai, my brother and Fang Xu haven't come home since school."

Bai Ye's face changed when he heard this. He looked at his watch and it was almost six o'clock.

"Knock, knock," Lin Manyu of the Bai family was cooking dinner in the kitchen when she heard a knock on the moon door.

She opened the door and saw Lin Ai standing outside with red eyes.

"Hello, Mingyu and Fangxu didn't go home."

Hearing this, Lin Hello couldn't help but frowned, "Don't they usually go home with you?"

"I graded more papers today, so I let them go home by themselves. They used to come back by themselves and they always went home well."

"I just came back and found out that they didn't go home. My family thought they were with me."

The three children followed their mother out of the house when they saw that their mother didn't go back to the house.

For a while, every household in the courtyard stopped what they were doing and started to help find the children.

At this time, a family in Dongjiaomin Lane was having dinner.

Fang Xu sat at the dinner table, looking at Jiang Mingyu beside him, and whispered to him, "If we don't go back, our family will be worried."

Jiang Mingyu looked up and looked at the man opposite, "Uncle, my family doesn't know I'm at your house."

The man opposite nodded with an honest look on his face, "What are you afraid of at your uncle's house? Wait for your mother to pick you up."

"Then you send Fang Xu home. If he doesn't go back, his family will come to find him."

The man lowered his head and thought for a while, then looked at Jiang Mingyu, "His mother is on duty at the hospital, and his father took his sister to the nursery to pick up his brother."

"It's okay for him to go home late."

Fang Xu lowered his head when he heard this so that the man wouldn't see the fear in his eyes.

Jiang Mingyu lowered his face and stared at his uncle, "Uncle, you should go find your mother."

"You shouldn't have brought us home secretly."
