The couple made a living in the 1950s

It was almost 7:40 when Bai Ye rode his bicycle to the Design Institute of the Beijing Urban Planning Administration.

About 85% of the staff in this design institute are architectural designers.

The current Beijing Design Institute is responsible for the construction of Beijing.

From 1949 to the present, the projects of Beijing Design Institute include: Xinqiao Hotel, Friendship Store, Qianmen Hotel.

Beijing Gymnasium, "Four Ministries and One Council" Office Building, Beijing Children's Hospital, Beijing Friendship Hotel.

The "Eight Colleges" in the Cultural and Educational District of Beijing Colleges and Universities, the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference Auditorium and Beijing Department Store.

The working hours in the institute were very tight, and after a brief acquaintance with Bai Ye, everyone returned to their respective posts and became busy.

Throughout the morning, Bai Ye did whatever work the designers in the group assigned him, and never said much.

When he was asked professional questions, every word he said was thought-provoking.

The work handed over to him was not difficult, but it was not easy to imagine that he could do it quickly and well.

In just one morning, other architects in their group were impressed by him.

At this time, there were many projects in the institute, and excellent architects were in short supply.

After Bai Ye went to the canteen with everyone to have lunch and came back.

He had already started to work on the project of their group.

Compared with Bai Ye's smooth progress, Lin Yu's morning was a bit awkward.

At this moment, she was waiting in line in the canteen with an aluminum lunch box for lunch.

The food in their unit was not bad, and meat and vegetables had not yet officially started to use tickets.

For units like their Public Security Bureau, as long as they paid 0.04 yuan per meal, plus four taels of food coupons or flour coupons, they could have lunch in the canteen.

Compared with the current prices of 0.13 yuan per pound of rice, 0.64 yuan per pound of pork, and 2 cents per pound of cabbage, the canteen in the bureau took good care of them by collecting these money and tickets.

After lunch, Lin Manyu found a corner in the canteen and sat down to eat.

The lunch break in the bureau is from 11:30 to 1:00.

In their section, Lin Manyu and Wan Ling are accountants, and Li Huiying and Wang Baosheng are cashiers.

Just before lunch break, Wan Ling brought out a stack of account books from the section chief's office and said that she would continue to sort out the accounts in the afternoon.

She had to hurry back to the office to start working after lunch.

Lin Manyu happily ate the rape stew and white rice in her aluminum lunch box. Fortunately, the chef in the unit canteen cooked delicious food.

At this time, Wan Ling and Li Huiying also sat together on the other side of the canteen to eat lunch.

Li Huiying watched Deputy Section Chief Wan Ling not speak all the time, so she ate her meal silently.

She graduated from high school and had been working in the finance department of the police station under the municipal bureau. In 1953, the municipal bureau was short of people.

At that time, it was the section chief Wang Chengxiang who advocated internal selection, so she came to work in the bureau.

Before their section chief retired from the army, he was the quartermaster in the army and was a comrade-in-arms with Wan Ling.

Wan Ling looked up at Li Huiying and looked at her.

"Lin Yuyu saw in her file that she was born in 1925, one year younger than you."

"She is in her thirties, but looks like she is twenty."

Li Huiying heard the displeasure in her tone and did not speak.

There were rumors in the bureau that her husband was her comrade-in-arms and was injured on the battlefield that year.

He was transferred to the field hospital for treatment and recuperation, and later he fell in love with a beautiful and educated female nurse.

Wan Ling is still single and lives with her daughter.

Since that incident, she has disliked beautiful and educated women.

When Lin Hanyu returned to the office after lunch, only Wang Baosheng was in the room.

He looked to be in his thirties. When he saw Lin Hanyu enter the room, they nodded and said hello.

At this moment, everyone had not returned from lunch yet. Lin Hanyu sat at her desk and couldn't help thinking of her roommates.

Her roommates in Beijing, Li Lanyu was assigned to the municipal government as an accountant, Liu Guiying was assigned to the Civil Affairs Department as an accountant, and Zhang Qiulan was assigned to the Municipal Finance Bureau as an accountant.

Their class happened to be when the various government departments of the country were short of college students, and everyone's work units were good.

Although Lin Hanyu could feel the inexplicable dislike from Wan Ling, fortunately she was not a person who did not distinguish between public and private.

The work in the afternoon went smoothly.

At this time, government departments will not work overtime unless there are special circumstances. If the workload is so heavy that they need to work overtime frequently.

The department will apply for a report to recruit new people.

Lin Yuyu pushed her bicycle into the main courtyard and just heard the noise coming from the Jiang family in the back room.

She understood and took a few quick steps to see Lin Sen and Li Erya sitting at the door of the Jiang family and making a scene.

Jiang Jiadong hadn't come back from get off work yet, and now only Aunt Jiang and her two children were standing at the door.Lin Ai was squatting next to her brother and talking.

She was too far away to hear what she said, but from her brother's expression, it was not something that made him happy.

Most of the people who worked in the courtyard had not returned yet, and most of the neighbors who gathered at the door of the Jiang family were unemployed or retired.

Old Master Zhu was also here to join in the fun, with a guard beside him.

When he saw Lin Yu coming over, a smile flashed in his eyes. This girl was good at studying and was assigned to work in the Public Security Bureau, which was also a contribution to national construction.

No one expected that Lin Sen would stand up and shake off Lin Ai at this time and look at her viciously.

"It's because of you that I received a dismissal certificate from my company when I got home from the police station yesterday."

"I used to work well in the kitchen of Dahonglou Restaurant."

"If you keep bringing money home, will I bring your son home and the Li family's child home?"

"Our family depends on my salary, and now I've lost my job because of you."

"You have to be responsible for raising your two nephews."

"From now on, I will go to the school to collect your monthly salary for you."

When the people in the courtyard heard this, they all whispered to each other.

Lin Yu was watching at the side, and she felt a gaze looking at her.

She looked over and saw Mr. Zhu standing not far from her.

Lin Yu smiled and nodded to him. This old man had made great contributions on the battlefield and deserved her respect.

When Mr. Zhu saw Lin Yu looking at him, he raised his foot and walked to her side.

"Xiao Lin, I heard that you are assigned to work in the Public Security Bureau, and my Lili works as a data keeper in the hospital."

"We don't have to worry about anything now, but you are about to turn 25 and you still don't have a partner."

"Is there a suitable young man in your bureau? Please introduce him to our Lili."

Hearing what Mr. Zhu said, Lin Manyu was stunned for a moment and then smiled and nodded.

At this time, Zhu Jianjun was walking home with Zhu Lili. He worked in the Ministry of Water Resources.

Today, he happened to go to his sister's unit to do business, and they would go home together after get off work.

At this moment, he looked at his sister riding a bicycle in front of him, sighed softly, and helpless flashed in his eyes.

He originally thought that it would not be difficult for his sister to marry Bai Ye. Although he had a family, he and Lin Manyu were both orphans.

In the future, they will have to fight for their own careers. Which man doesn't love power? If Bai Ye chooses to marry his sister, he will have the political resources of the Zhu family.

When he first moved into this courtyard, he thought Bai Ye would agree without his sister saying much.

The hardest thing would be his grandfather.

Over the years, as they all lived in the same courtyard, he became less and less clear about the man Bai Ye was.

He was a man who wanted women instead of a career.

Later, he tried to persuade his sister many times but it was useless. Now he could only introduce more people to his sister, hoping that she would like someone else.
