The couple made a living in the 1950s

The 3rd and 5th of every month are the days for the people of Beijing to buy food supplies.

On these two days, people start queuing up at the food store at 3 a.m.

All work units also agree that people can go to work a little later on these two days of the month.

Today, Bai Ye, like usual, waited in front of the food store early in the morning with Li Ze and Ding Qiang.

The tricycle at home can carry the food of three families home at the same time.

At this moment, Ding Qiang looked at the food in the car and breathed a sigh of relief.

It may be because there are still three days until New Year's Eve.

This time, the food supply is not all sweet potatoes like before.

Every household is supplied with a little rice.

Bai Ye sent the food home, ate something, and hurried to the unit. He still had a drawing to draw.

The children at home are now on winter vacation, although they are already in college.

But in fact, they are less than 14 years old, which is the age of growing up.

He and Hanhan never asked them to get up early. Children who don't get enough sleep will not grow tall.

It was already 10:20 when Sanbao went downstairs. The house was quiet.

She was well raised by her parents. She had never lacked nutrition since she was a child. She grew up especially fast in the past two years.

She was already 1.65 meters tall before she was 14 years old.

Her mother had been raising her carefully. Now she looked like a big girl.

She was as white and dazzling as her mother. She was shining wherever she went.

In the bathroom, Sanbao stood in front of the basin to wash her face.

She looked up at her fair little face in the mirror and blinked.

Her mother said that she had to use the cleansing soap made by her mother to wash her face for a long time, but she couldn't use beauty cream at school. She could only use Pechoin for skin care.

Thinking of this, she quickly washed her face and ran upstairs to her bedroom.

Sitting in front of the dressing table, she took the beauty cream, opened it, scooped out a large piece, and applied it on her face. She watched it absorb quickly, and her eyes were full of sparkles.

Downstairs, Dabao came out of the bedroom and looked at the wall clock in the living room suspiciously.

I just heard my sister coming downstairs. Is she going back to sleep?

At this time, it was not time for lunch in the Beijing Public Security Bureau.

Lin Yuyu was sitting in the office knitting a scarf for Erbao.

Compared with Aye, her job does have more free time.

Every month, she records the accounts and calculates wages and pays them.

These are made with practice. She now sits in the office for nearly half a month a month.

Fortunately, everyone in the office is so idle, so she feels at ease.

Accountants in their government agencies are indeed easier than accountants in factories.

In the cafeteria, Lin Yuyu found a corner with an aluminum lunch box.

She looked at the steamed bread and Chinese cabbage in the lunch box, picked up the chopsticks and ate seriously.

Compared with those families who were almost out of food, the food in their bureau was much better.

Lin Yuyu originally thought that she would drink tea, read newspapers, knit sweaters and go home after get off work as usual this afternoon.

Who would have thought that as soon as she came out of the cafeteria, she saw Li Huiying and a woman coming towards her.

She and Li Huiying nodded politely without stopping.

"Comrade, wait a minute, are you Bai Qingyi's mother?"

Lin Yuyu heard the name of her eldest son and turned to look at the woman next to Li Huiying.

"I am Zhang Weian's mother, Li Huilan."

Lin Yuyu smiled and held her hand, "I am Bai Qingyi's mother, Lin Yuyu."

In the afternoon, in the office of the Finance Department.

Lin Yuyu felt that Li Huiying, who was sitting behind her, would look up at her from time to time.

I couldn't help but turn sideways and wait for her to look up again.

Li Huiying met Lin Manyu's gaze and smiled awkwardly.

"Manyu, it turns out that your son and my eldest nephew are classmates and are both in college."

As soon as she finished speaking, the remaining two people in the office also cast their eyes on Lin Manyu.

Lin Manyu nodded and smiled at Li Huiying.

"I heard from the child that his classmate is from Shen City."

"He is from Shen City. My eldest brother-in-law is from Shen City. My eldest sister's family has always lived in Shen City."

"They were recently transferred to Jing City for work."

Li Huiying saw that Lin Manyu was not interested in continuing the conversation, so she didn't ask any more questions. She could go home and ask her sister.

Wan Ling, who was sitting in the small compartment, looked up at Lin Manyu.

"How old is Accountant Lin's son?"

"14 years old."

After saying that, Lin Yu turned around and continued knitting her scarf, clearly not wanting to say more.

After finally waiting until the end of get off work, she packed up her things, rode her bicycle and headed home.

Before she even entered her own yard, Lin Yu could smell the scent of her own wintersweet from afar.The aroma made her feel happy.

When she entered the house, Dabao and Erbao were sitting at the round table playing Go.

"Mom, is it cold outside today?"

"It's OK. You didn't go out today."

Dabao put a chess piece on the chessboard and looked up at his mother.

"Now everyone is hungry. We three think we should try to go out less."

Lin Yuyu glanced at the two sons sitting in front of her and nodded.

They were both 1.78 meters tall and looked strong. They didn't look hungry.

"Where's your sister?"

"She's sleeping upstairs."

Seeing that her two sons were playing chess seriously, Lin Yuyu didn't disturb them anymore.

When Bai Ye got home from get off work, it was already half past six.

The family sat around the dining table, eating and chatting.

Lin Yuyu thought of what happened this afternoon and glanced at her eldest son.

"I met Zhang Weian's mother at the police station this afternoon."

"Is his mother involved in the case?"

Lin Yuyu met the gaze of her eldest son and was a little unresponsive for a while.

"Not involved in the case?" Dabao looked back at his father.

While his sister was talking to his brother, he focused his attention.

He reached out and took out the egg yolk from her salted egg and ate it.

Bai Ye looked at his childish eldest son and said nothing.

The harmless things between the siblings were mostly done by them at will.

"I thought his mother went to the black market to buy food, and the case was serious. You caught her and didn't go to the police station, but took her directly to the public security bureau."

"You know a lot?"

Dabao heard the warning in his father's voice and raised his hand to touch his nose.

In the evening, Liu Meijia's home in the third courtyard of the main courtyard.

Liu Meijia sat on the sofa with her son in her arms, looking at Lin Ai who kept talking in front of her.

He shook his head decisively, "Everyone is busy taking care of themselves now. My Ruyang is only 5 years old."

"He hasn't even had any good food yet, and he's already starving."

"Where can I borrow food?"

"And today is the 3rd, the day for every household to buy rations."

"I saw your family using bicycles to carry food back during the day."
