The couple made a living in the 1950s

In the living room of the Bai family, Sanbao looked at Bai Ye who was changing his outer clothes and came to him.

"Dad, Mom said you came home late because you had dinner with Uncle Fu Jia and others."

Bai Ye raised his hand and touched his little girl's head, "Mom is right, Dad will take you to dinner next time."

After that, he turned to look at Lin Manyu, "Man, I'm going out to help find the children."

"You stay at home with the children, don't go out."

Seeing Lin Manyu nod, Bai Ye left with peace of mind.

After Bai Ye left, the atmosphere at home was a little solemn, and Lin Manyu sat on the sofa with the children.

Dabao sighed softly and let himself lean on the back of the sofa.

Erbao lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.

Sanbao leaned on Lin Manyu, "Mom, I don't know if Leilei has come home."

At this moment, at the third entrance of the main courtyard, Li Ze supported Zhang Mei, who had started to walk weakly since she confirmed that her son was indeed not at home.

"We have to send Leilei and Xiaojun to Bai Ye's house."

"Fang Xu... Mingyu... Where are you?"

"Mingyu... Fang Xu..."

At the gate of the courtyard, Bai Ye was holding a kerosene lamp, waiting for Li Ze and his wife.

He kept hearing the sound of people helping to find the children.

The neighbors had not returned home, and they were looking for them in the alleys around the courtyard.

The police were also checking every house.

He and Li Ze were going to look for the two children around the school.

Nowadays, bicycles have no lights, which is extremely inconvenient to use at night.

Bai Ye and Li Ze separated, holding kerosene lamps while walking and calling the names of the two children.

At the gate of the elementary school, Zhang Mei saw Bai Ye coming back alone, and finally couldn't control herself and squatted down and cried loudly.

Li Ze quickly reached out and held her, his eyes full of anxiety.

The children were out of school at five o'clock, and it had been almost four hours since they left school.

Bai Ye lowered his head and didn't look at Zhang Mei's gaffe. "Is it possible that the child went to a relative's house?"

"We don't have any relatives in Beijing." Li Ze said hoarsely.

"Does the Jiang family have any?"

As soon as Bai Ye finished speaking, Zhang Mei excitedly grabbed Li Ze's hand.

"Aze, maybe Mingyu took Xiaoxu to play with relatives."

Bai Ye heard Zhang Mei's hopeful voice and remained silent.

It's always good to let her see hope at this time. The two children have to continue looking.

Li Ze lowered his head in the night to hide the emotions in his eyes so that his wife wouldn't see it.

"His Xiaoxu is not an ignorant child. Even if he is greedy for fun, he won't stay out so late and make them worry."

Li Ze held Zhang Mei's hand, and Bai Ye walked beside Li Ze. The three of them walked quickly to the courtyard. They had to go back to ask if the Jiang family's relatives lived nearby.

At this time, most of the people around Dongjiaomin Lane had turned off the lights and went to bed.

Fang Xu lay on the bed, trying to keep his eyes open, not letting himself fall asleep, and trying to stay away from Mingyu's cousins.

Jiang Mingyu, who was lying next to him, had a swollen face, and he turned his back to him and cried silently.

Just now, Jiang Mingyu wanted to sneak back home with Fang Xu, but when his uncle found out, he slapped him hard.

In the next room, Mingyu's aunt Li Erya's triangular eyes were full of calculations.

"Boss, we can't keep waiting like this."

"Otherwise, we should go find my sister-in-law now and ask her to pick up the child."

Lin Sen turned over impatiently with his back to Li Erya.

"Why are you in such a hurry? I need to let my sister know how powerful she is, so that she can give us money and tickets like before."

"Do you think our son's uncle will call the police?"

Lin Sen was half asleep. "If we really call the police, my elder sister will help us. We are just a family matter."

"What about the child from the Li family?"

"He fell asleep on the street, and we picked him up and brought him home. His parents should thank us."

"The people's police serve the people, and his father can't bully us by relying on his police status."

Li Erya thought about it and it was right. Since the grain rationing began, her sister-in-law's family has never seen her money again.

In the past, the family could occasionally see a few cloth tickets from her.

Now there are no tickets at all.

Bai Ye and the other three entered the courtyard and went straight to the Jiang family.

At this moment, the door of the Jiang family was wide open, and the whole family was sitting on the sofa in the living room. They had just come back from looking for the children.

The police had already checked the area around the courtyard, but no one found the children, and no one saw the two children.

When the Jiang family saw Bai Ye and his friends coming in, they stood up and walked forward excitedly.

"How is it, do you have any clues?"

Bai Ye suppressed his emotions and said nothing.

Before Li Ze could speak, Zhang Mei came forward and held Aunt Jiang's hand. She was no longer as excited as usual.'s indifferent look.

"Aunt, is it possible that the two children went to play at a relative's house?"

Aunt Jiang looked at Lin Ai after hearing this, "We don't have any relatives in Beijing."

"Only my in-laws."

When the group arrived at Lin Ai's mother's house, Zhang Mei saw that it was pitch black around, without any light, and her heart sank. Xiaoxu should not be here.

"Her Xiaoxu, she has told me more than once that he can sleep at other places besides Yu's."

"If you want to sleep at other people's houses, you have to ask your parents for permission."

Lin Ai stood at the gate of the courtyard, feeling a little complicated at the moment. She was too anxious just now and didn't think about her mother's house.

What if the child is really at the eldest brother's house?

Bai Ye saw that Lin Ai was reluctant to knock on the door, turned his head and looked at Li Ze, just in time to meet his gaze.

He quietly withdrew from the crowd and turned to the outer wall of the courtyard.

He stood up and climbed over the wall into the courtyard, his movements were clean and neat.

Bai Ye didn't know which house Lin Ai's parents lived in.

In this courtyard with two entrances, he had to stop at the window for a while every time he passed a house.

Until he walked to the window of the second courtyard's west wing, he heard intermittent sobbing inside.

Bai Ye's originally cold eyes flashed with cold light.

At this time, at the gate of the courtyard, the gatekeeper heard Jiang Jiadong's violent knocking on the door and was awakened.

"Who is it? You come back so late."

As soon as he opened the door, he saw several people standing outside the gate with kerosene lamps in their hands.

Two of them were the daughters and sons-in-law of the Lin family in the second courtyard.

"Lin Ai, come back to your parents' home so late?"

Aunt Jiang walked forward anxiously without waiting for Lin Ai to speak.

"Have you seen two eight-year-old boys come to this yard today?"

The gatekeeper heard this, and his eyes flashed with surprise, "There are two boys, they were brought back by Lin Sen and Li Erya."

"The two children were sleeping at the time, and one of the boys is Lin Sen's nephew."

"I didn't think too much about it. Did something happen?"

No one had time to answer his question now.

Aunt Jiang and Zhang Mei ran directly around the gatekeeper and ran into the yard.

Li Ze, Jiang Jiadong and Jiang Mingbo followed closely behind.

Lin Ai was feeling very nervous at this moment. She followed into the yard last, and her eldest brother would not harm her children.

But the Li family might not be easy to talk about this matter.

When everyone arrived at the door of Lin Ai's mother's house, they saw the two children in the house standing behind Bai Ye.

Lin Sen put his hands on the stool and looked at Bai Ye with a defensive face.
