The couple made a living in the 1950s

Maybe she stayed up too late and missed her usual bedtime.

Or maybe Lin Yu was happy that the children were finally home.

At this moment, she was lying in bed and couldn't fall asleep.

She raised her head slightly and heard Bai Ye's clearer and more even breathing.

Lin Yu raised her hand and gently removed Bai Ye's arm around her waist.

She got up and got out of bed, holding the kerosene lamp and sitting on the sofa.

She poured herself jasmine tea and drank it.

The earthen heating at home was too hot, and her throat would occasionally feel dry at night.

She usually put a glass of water on the bedside table before going to bed to moisten her throat.

Lin Yu curled up on the sofa and flipped through her family tree.

The first half of the family tree was still written in beautiful hairpin flower small regular script.

Later, it gradually became a free and easy running script.

Until now, whenever Lin Yuyu thinks of Ah Ye sitting at the desk and helping her copy the family tree, she can't help but want to smile.

The family tree of her eldest brother's family had long been sent back to the military compound by her.

In the future, the newly copied family tree in her hand will be left to her second son.

Thinking of this, Lin Yuyu raised her hand and turned the family tree back to her page.

Lei Lei's information had been written in the family tree by herself as early as the day she and her second son got their marriage certificate.

When they were in the old house, the family followed the rules in "Book of Rites. Quli".

"Men are crowned at the age of 20 and given a name", and "women are given a name at the age of 15".

Boys in the family have to perform the ceremony of crowning at the age of 20, and girls have to perform the ceremony of hairpin at the age of 15.

At that time, the family will invite a respected person to give the child a name.

The name cannot be given by the father, but must be given by the invited person.

Neither she nor Aye had a given name. When the three babies were young, she had thought about waiting until the children were old enough to give them a given name.

Aye gave the children a good name and quietly recorded it in the family tree.

Now that I think about it, the old etiquette can no longer be fulfilled.

The purpose of giving a name is to make people respect you and to be called by others.

If the children have to wait until they are in their thirties.

to know that they have a name, what is the meaning of giving it if it is not called by others.

On the first day of the new year, every household in the courtyard got up early to pay New Year's greetings.

Lin Yuyu was not very energetic today because she slept late yesterday.

Fortunately, during the New Year, the family only interacted with the eldest brother, the eldest sister and the two in-laws.

Now she doesn't have to cook every day.

Aye and the second son had bought all the ingredients for the family before the New Year.

She had a relaxing day on the first day of the new year.

When she came back from her eldest brother's house in the afternoon, she went upstairs to catch up on some sleep.

Here in Beijing, the second day of the Lunar New Year is the day for married women to return to their parents' home.

At this time, Zhang Mei's home in the main courtyard.

Erbao gently picked up the jasmine tea that his mother-in-law had poured for him and took a sip.

This was his first time to visit his parents-in-law as a son-in-law.

He didn't see any difference between his father-in-law and his mother-in-law.

He and Lei Lei felt that the feeling was quite different.

Before he got engaged to Lei Lei, he never had to bring New Year gifts when he went to his father-in-law's house.

Even if he usually sent things to his father-in-law's house, he would help his parents to send them.

The money used to buy New Year gifts in the year of engagement was his own salary.

This year, these New Year gifts for his father-in-law and mother-in-law are the wages of him and Lei Lei.

This is the first gift given by his and Lei Lei's small family.

In the living room, Li Ze looked at the Maotai, malted milk, canned fruit and White Rabbit milk candy sent by his son-in-law.

A trace of relief flashed through his eyes, seeing that the New Year gift from Erbao was not perfunctory.

He was temporarily relieved, because his daughter had liked Erbao since she was a child.

He was always afraid that his daughter would be in a place where he could not see.

His daughter was not cherished and was wronged.

Erbao worked the night shift in the second year of the Chinese New Year.

He returned home early in the third year of the Chinese New Year, ready to take a family photo with his family.

Because the daughter-in-law of the second year of the Chinese New Year would have to go back to her parents' home in the future.

Lin Yuyu and Bai Ye decided to take a family photo on the third day of the Chinese New Year.

In the early morning, Lin Yuyu and Bai Ye were sitting on the sofa in the living room together.

She looked at her second son who greeted them and turned to go into the kitchen to find his wife and curled her lips slightly.

The second son did not come home so early just because he had to go to the photo studio today.

In the past, when he worked the night shift, he would sleep in the dormitory until almost noon the next day before going home.

Since getting married, the second son always comes back early in the morning on his bicycle.

Bai Ye couldn't help but chuckle when he saw his wife being jealous of his daughter-in-law.

Lin Yu stared at him without saying anything.

He had no choice but to sit next to his wife and said with a smile.

"Our second son,There were many more things to learn and do when I just graduated than now."

"It's not that he didn't miss you or didn't like going home before."

Lin Yuyu met Bai Ye's eyes, nodded and said with a smile.

"I know"

After breakfast, Lin Yuyu and his family went to the bus station.

Waiting to take the bus to the photo studio.

The children have grown up and no longer have the excitement they had when they were young playing on the street.

As in previous years, their family took photos in the photo studio and went home.

When they got home, it was exactly 10:30 in the morning.

Li Fanglei accompanied Erbao back to the east wing to catch up on sleep.

Dong Dongdong...

In the living room of the main house, Dabao was listening to the radio with his father, mother and sister.

Then they heard a knock on the door outside the moon door.

Dabao looked at his sister and turned his head, pretending not to hear the knock on the door, smiled and shook his head, got up and walked out of the house Go open the door.

When he opened the moon gate, he saw Meng Xiaoou standing outside the door.

And Uncle Erbao, who was in charge of strangers entering and leaving their courtyard.

Li Erbao saw that the one who opened the door was the eldest son of the Bai family.

He smiled at Dabao, turned around and left without saying a word.

Dabao was puzzled.

He looked at Meng Xiaoou standing in front of him, staring at him with a smile.

He sighed softly in his heart and turned sideways to let her in.

She looked like a gentle and beautiful girl.

Why was she so brave in front of him.

Lin Hanyu and Bai Ye saw their eldest son bringing in a girl.

They turned their heads to look at each other at the same time, and then quickly looked away.

"Xiaoou, how did you find my house? "

Lin Yu was about to speak when she heard her daughter's voice.

She turned her head to look at her daughter.

But at this moment, Sanbao was still thinking.

When did she leave her home address to Xiaoou?

She didn't see her mother's look.

Lin Yu looked at her daughter and it was obvious that she knew the girl in front of her.

She was not sure for a moment whether the girl came to the house to look for the eldest son or the daughter.

But the way Dabao looked at her just now, it seemed that the two of them didn't know each other.

When Meng Xiaoou first saw Sanbao, he was also a little confused.

Then he thought of her name.

A trace of understanding flashed through his heart. Why didn't he think of this before?

Bai Qingyi and Bai Qingshu, these two people can be seen as a pair of siblings from their names.
