The couple made a living in the 1950s

In the back house of the main courtyard, Wang Youjia was lying on the bed, his nose and face were swollen, and his original appearance could no longer be seen.

"This man was really cruel. The doctor said that he would need at least four months before he could walk."

Zhang Daya sat on another bed, her face drooping, her eyes flickering.

"Son, if you think about it again, maybe you can still remember what that man looked like."

Wang Youjia looked impatient, "If I had seen his face, I would have asked him to pay for it long ago, why would I still need to recall it."

Zhang Daya opened her mouth and was about to speak, but when she saw her daughter-in-law Li Lanying push the door in, she rolled her eyes and said nothing more.

The courtyard was already lively during the day, and children always looked forward to the New Year the most.

Bai Ye heard the sound of children playing in the main courtyard as soon as he stepped over the moon gate.

He stopped at the door of Li Ze's house with a lunch box and knocked gently.

Li Ze opened the door and saw Bai Ye standing outside the door, and stepped aside to let him in.

Bai Ye went into the house and put the food box on the table. "My wife made canned apples for you to try."

"My daughter Meimei said before she left this morning that your wife would send her canned food today."

The two of them sat at the table, and Li Ze poured chrysanthemum tea for Bai Ye.

"Are you not afraid of being seen?"

Bai Ye looked at Li Ze, his eyes calm and smiling.

"He has already been beaten, and the police station will not let go of this matter."

Li Ze's elegant face was even more smiling, "Wang Youjia's wounds were clean and neat, and many of them were on the acupuncture points."

"In the past, few people in this city could do this, and those who could do it are basically not in Beijing now. You waited outside for more than 40 minutes last night. Wasn't it cold?"

"Hahahahahahaha"

Looking at Li Ze who was laughing so hard, Bai Ye also smiled.

At first, the two had the opportunity to get in touch because their wives liked to play together.

After such a long time together, Li Ze is a good person.

Bai Ye saw that he had laughed enough, "I didn't want to hide it from anyone."

"Yeah," Li Ze nodded, "I know, otherwise, why would you do it at the door."

"You moved in late, and there are a lot of family matters between neighbors in our yard, which are sometimes quite interesting."

When Bai Ye returned home, Lin Yu was playing with the three babies. They now like to look around following the sound.

"Li Ze's wife is on duty at the clinic and is not at home."

Bai Ye changed his shoes and put them in the shoe cabinet.

He went back to the bedroom to change his clothes, sat next to Lin Yu, and picked up the canned strawberries on the coffee table and ate them.

"Wait until spring, the two of us will take the three babies out for a walk."

"Yeah," Lin Yu kept touching the little mouth of the second baby. ”

During the New Year’s Eve dinner at the Bai family, the three babies were still sleeping soundly when Lin Manyu put them in a stroller and pushed them outside the restaurant.

This was the first time that Bai Ye and Lin Manyu had dinner in the family restaurant.

On the dining table, the “orchid charcoal” under the copper hot pot was burning vigorously.

In the boiling hot pot, Bai Ye picked up a piece of tumbling pork belly and put it into Lin Manyu’s sunflower plate.

“We haven’t burned orchid charcoal for many years.”

“Yeah,” Lin Manyu swallowed the meat in his mouth and nodded, “When I was a child, my family liked to use charcoal for heating.”

Bai Ye picked up another mushroom with chopsticks for Lin Manyu, “I will stock up some ordinary coal blocks to heat my home when I have the chance.”

Lin Manyu nodded, “In addition to eating hot pot, we will use as little charcoal as possible in the future. The more good things we use, the less we use them.” "

Bai Ye looked at the pickled cabbage, mushrooms, cabbage, potato chips, Chinese cabbage, rapeseed and cucumber on the table.

The vegetables collected by Yangjia Village in the space are almost finished.

"He has to buy some vegetable seeds in the spring, clean up the vegetable garden at home, and then find a way to get some saplings to plant in the yard."

After dinner, Lin Yuyu and the three treasures accompanied Bai Ye in the kitchen to wash dishes.

Not every household will buy firecrackers for the New Year at this time.

In many courtyards, everyone contributes money to buy a few firecrackers and then sets them off at the gate of the courtyard.

The dumplings on New Year's Eve in Laojing City are particular. Dumplings must be eaten at midnight.

That is, from eleven o'clock in the evening to one o'clock in the morning, which means to exchange the child and bid farewell to the old and welcome the new.

Generally, vegetarian dumplings are eaten, which also means to come. Nian Susu was quiet.

There are also particular ways to make dumplings. The vegetarian fillings are rich and contain at least nine kinds of ingredients.

Lin Yuyu and Bai Ye were still making dumplings at the round table when firecrackers rang out from all directions outside.

Fortunately, the three babies were sleeping soundly. She brought the dumplings into the kitchen and put them into the pot neatly.

When everything was cleaned up and the family of five entered the bedroom, it was just past twelve o'clock.

Bai Ye and Lin Yuyu looked at the three babies sleeping soundly on the kang, with smiles in their eyes, "Happy New Year, babies."

Heat kangOn the bed, Bai Ye lay on the kang and gently hugged Lin Wanyu from behind, rubbing her hair with his chin.

"Hanhan, Happy New Year."

Lin Wanyu turned back and kissed Bai Ye's chin, "Aye, Happy New Year."

The morning welcomed the year 1946, which belongs only to the Chinese, with its first ray of sunshine.

Today is the first day of the new year, a day for New Year's greetings.

In this courtyard, Bai Ye and Lin Hanyu only interact with the Li family.

They have not met many other people in the courtyard.

Considering that the Bai family has three babies, it is not convenient for Bai Ye and Lin Hanyu to go out.

Li Ze and Zhang Mei knocked on the moon door of the Bai family after breakfast.

In the living room of the Bai family, the four tripod plates on the coffee table were filled with peanuts, melon seeds, persimmon cakes and Guhua candy.

Lin Hanyu specially brewed Longjing before the rain for Zhang Mei and her husband today.

Zhang Mei picked up the Magnolia cup, took a sip of tea, and smiled with enjoyment.

She didn't stop her hand movements, "Most people in our yard can still interact as normal neighbors."

"Li Tiezhu, who knocked on your door last time to collect money for firecrackers, lives in the main house of the third courtyard of the main courtyard. Usually when there is something going on in the courtyard, he helps everyone to arrange it."

Lin Manyu looked at Bai Ye in confusion.

Bai Ye nodded, "Last time, we didn't have time to open the door, and then he went to find Li Ze."

Lin Manyu turned his head and looked at Zhang Mei, "The knocking methods I encountered these few times are quite unique."

"Hahaha" Zhang Mei couldn't help laughing when she heard Lin Manyu's words.

"You should pay more or less attention to these aunts in the yard. The ones I have met are all hard to describe."

"The people in the yard are not so fixed at ordinary times, especially the tenants, who come and go..."

Lin Yu nodded while listening to Zhang Mei.

Bai Ye and Li Ze sat aside and listened, and no one disturbed them.

Bai Ye looked at his young wife's face full of gossip and couldn't help but feel funny.

Turning around, he saw Li Ze, who was sitting aside leisurely drinking tea.

Li Ze saw Bai Ye looking at him, reached out to pick up the magic lamp pot, and smiled and poured himself another cup of tea.

"I'll take Meimei to my master's house later, that is, our family visits relatives and friends on the first day of the Chinese New Year."

People in this period still attach great importance to traditional customs and always pay attention to old etiquette.

"Yeah," Bai Ye nodded, "How is the progress of the case that came to my house for a visit and investigation before?"
