The couple made a living in the 1950s

"Last night, I had a stomachache and stayed in the toilet."

Sun Jianguo's attention was on the section chief who asked him questions.

He didn't notice Bai Ye who walked by him.

Bai Ye glanced at Wang Changjing, who was smiling, and suppressed his doubts about Sun Jianguo.

Other people's affairs had nothing to do with him as long as they didn't involve his own family.

When Lin Yu got home, she washed her hands and went straight to dinner as usual.

"Grandpa."

"Hmm?"

"Have we been living in this house these days?"

She listened to her eldest granddaughter and swallowed the cabbage in her mouth.

She picked up another piece of potato chips and put it in her mouth.

Now the two little granddaughters have to ask a hundred thousand questions from time to time.

Sometimes she doesn't know what to say when asked, and she often doesn't dare to take the initiative to talk.

It's best to leave the answer to a hundred thousand questions to their grandfather.

"Well, does Ah Yun like living here?"

"Well... it's okay."

The little girl fell into thinking when she heard her grandfather asking her if she liked it.

No one disturbed her until her sister wanted to talk to her for the second time.

The two sisters finally talked together while eating.

Forget the previous questions.

Lin Yuyu and Bai Ye looked at each other tacitly, and saw smiles in each other's eyes.

At night, every household in the family compound turned off the lights.

In the second bedroom of the Bai family, Bai Ye picked up the sweaty person in his arms and got out of bed, and went to the bathroom to wash again.

He looked at his drowsy wife in his arms, feeling a little guilty.

Lin Yuyu noticed his gaze and closed her eyes in his arms and didn't want to open them.

This man always felt sorry for her after tossing her around.

Half an hour had passed when the two of them washed up and returned to the master bedroom.

Lin Yu glanced at her sleeping granddaughters before closing her eyes and continuing to sleep.

At this moment, Zhao Huandi and Sun Jianguo were still lying on the bed and talking.

"Liu Chunqing's Wang Yujuan is coming back to work, while our Jin is still working on the farm in the countryside."

"I don't know how Liu Chunqing, that woman, will laugh at me in her heart this time."

"The family compound of your unit is well built, with a reasonable and practical layout."

"Unlike the tube-shaped building, the toilet and kitchen are shared by everyone."

"The design institute has also taken on the construction of family compounds for high-level cadres from several units."

"In these units in Beijing, our housing conditions are as good as those of cadres in other units."

"I feel proud when I walk outside."

"But in this family compound, I am nothing."

"On our floor, except for you, everyone is an architect with a high salary level."

"Every day, I feel really depressed when I see their lives."

"That's how they live."

"Every day, I see that both of my neighbors have working parents, and I feel depressed too."

When Zhao Huandi heard him say this, she sat up from the bed.

"You heartless man, I gave birth to two eldest sons, Jiabao and Jiajin, for your family."

"Do you miss me so much? I was scolded out of the house by that woman Liu Chunqing because of Jiajin's marriage."

"You don't even say a word, what kind of man are you?"

"You dead woman, you are not satisfied with eating and drinking from me every day."

"I only let you take care of the family, but you keep nagging every day."

"You just deserve to be punished."

"You have no conscience, I will fight with you."

Waiting for Sun Jiabao and his wife who lived in the second bedroom to hear the sound and come over.

What they saw was the mother with swollen nose and eyes, and the father with nail scratches all over his face.

Lin Yuyu was dazed, and when she heard the noise, she leaned into Bai Ye's arms again and continued to sleep.

On the other side, Sun Jiabao and his wife Zhou Xiaomei in the living room of the Sun family looked ugly.

The marks on the parents' faces, anyone with a discerning eye could see what was going on.

Starting tomorrow, the neighbors in the family building will probably keep an eye on their family for a while.

Zhao Huandi felt a little uncomfortable watching her eldest son sitting next to her not speaking for her.

She glared at her eldest daughter-in-law Zhou Xiaomei.

"Can't you see that I'm upset? Why don't you go and prepare some hot water for me to wash my face?"

Zhou Xiaomei stood up reluctantly and walked to the kitchen when she heard her mother-in-law say that.

There is hot water in the thermos, so give it to her mother-in-law first.

Now, she just wants to go to bed earlier.

"Boil me some more hot water, you can pour the water in the thermos, but I can't do it myself?"

Zhou Xiaoyu put down the thermos in her hand and turned to add another piece of coal to the coal stove that burned the earth heating at home.

Her mother-in-law asked her to boil water, not to use the kerosene stove.

If it weren't winter now, she would have to keep the coal stove burning for heating.

Her mother-in-law would definitely prefer to wash her face with cold water, and would not agree to "waste" kerosene.

Every time she thought of the days when she had to wash clothes with cold water in the old house in winter before moving to the family building.

She wanted to beat up the old woman in her heart.

It seems that all the big and small things in this family are handled by the mother-in-law.

In fact, it is the father-in-law who makes the decision.

The father-in-law himself is not good to the mother-in-law, but he can't stand the younger generation not listening to the mother-in-law.

In his opinion, it is a challenge to his authority at home.

The man she married has always followed his father's requirements.

In their old Sun family, women have to listen to men.

Zhou Xiaoyu thought of the two married sisters-in-law in her husband's family.

A trace of sarcasm flashed in her heart, the mother-in-law used the married daughter to seek benefits for her husband.

She was also a beneficiary, and suddenly felt that compared with the two sisters-in-law.

Now it is not so unacceptable to do some housework by herself.

Wait until this old woman falls into her hands in the future, and see how she will deal with her.

"Are you laying eggs in the kitchen? Why does it take so long to boil water?"

"It's almost time, Mom."

It was an hour later when Sun Jianguo and Zhao Huandi returned to bed.

The two of them slept soundly with their backs to each other, separated by a person's distance.

Zhou Xiaoyu returned to the second bedroom and saw that her son and daughter were both sleeping soundly.

She was relieved and returned to bed.

"Jiabao, I have met Liu Chunqing, whom Mom just mentioned, several times in the corridor."

"But the woman from Deputy Chief Engineer Bai's family, we haven't even met her once since we moved here."

Sun Jiabao was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes. He was thinking about his mother crying and complaining in the living room just now.

She said that Dad disliked her because she was not as educated and employed as the neighbor's daughter-in-law.

He didn't want to deal with his own daughter-in-law either.

Zhou Xiaoyu didn't get a reply and didn't worry. She just lay there thinking about what her mother-in-law said.

She said that the woman from the Bai family was even more rebellious than Liu Chunqing.

Relying on her education and good job, she bosses people around at home.

She also asks the man who is responsible for the family to cook for her.

She can't wait to see what she looks like.

In fact, she doesn't like such a woman.

The woman is in charge of the home and the man is in charge of the outside. How can a woman suppress a man at home?

The more she thinks about it, the more she feels that those people in the family compound who usually say that Deputy Chief Engineer Bai is excellent are not good-looking.

Thinking that she has to go to work tomorrow, she forces herself to sleep.

The tasks in their cotton mill workshop are not easy. If she doesn't sleep well, she will not have the energy to work tomorrow.

At this moment, Lin Manyu is sleeping soundly.

She doesn't know that someone looks down on her.

The next day, Lin Manyu opened her eyes in Bai Ye's arms.

She sat up reluctantly.

"I'll go make breakfast, you sleep a little longer."

"Okay."

Lin Manyu agreed with her mouth, and then lay back on the bed and continued to sleep.

"Grandma..."

"Hmm?"

"Grandpa said that you have to get up to eat and go to work."

"Grandma..."

"Get up, do you want to be a lazy pig?"

"Dad said that if you don't get up, you will be a lazy pig in the nursery."

Lin Manyu felt the wetness on her face and had to open her eyes.

She looked at her two granddaughters who kissed her face with saliva.

She resisted the urge to spank them.

The morning schedule was tight, so she stayed in bed for a while.

After getting herself ready and having breakfast, she rode her tricycle to take her two granddaughters to the office.

Of course, she didn't notice the young woman who walked out of the corridor door quickly behind them.

Zhou Xiaoyu looked at Lin Manyu's back, her face a little bad.

The factory workshop is a shift system, and the medical staff in the hospital also work in three shifts.

However, each of them has one day off every week.

If she doesn't have a shift, she will leave the workshop and allocate her own time.

If she doesn't go out of the house on purpose, it's really hard to meet people who go to work at 8 am and get off work at 4 pm.

Zhou Xiaoyu thought about the broken tricycle that the Bai family often parked downstairs in the family building.

She couldn't help showing disgust on her face.

If her husband could get as much salary as Deputy Chief Engineer Bai every month.

She wouldn't ride that broken tricycle.

At noon, Lin Yuyu looked at Li Ze and Fang Jun who were taking their two little granddaughters to the cafeteria for dinner.

She turned around with a smile and walked to the gate of the unit with Li Huiying.

In the past, it was always inconvenient for her and Li Ze to eat with their children in the unit cafeteria.

They are relatives and have been friends for many years.

Occasionally, it's reasonable to eat alone with the two little granddaughters.

If they always eat together, I'm afraid it will cause false rumors.

Since Fang Jun came to the Public Security BureauShe felt relaxed after leaving work.

The two little granddaughters at home would have lunch with their grandpa and uncle from time to time.

It was common for Li Ze and his department not to go back to the bureau for lunch when they were on a mission.

Fang Jun came to work in the Finance Department, so she could be lazy without worry.

The two little granddaughters liked to play with their uncle.

"Hanyu, I heard that this newly opened small vegetable market has sufficient supplies."

"We must hurry up and take a look. Let's go there in the first two days of the new opening."

"I don't know yet how much food is available?"

"I'm like before. I feel exhausted when I get up early in the morning to queue up in the department store."

"After all, I'm not young anymore."

"Then let's go faster."

Lin Hanyu took Li Huiying's hand and walked faster towards the carport.

They didn't lack food at home. She and Aye just had to go to Dongdan Vegetable Market a few more times.

There is a reason to take food out of the space refrigerator.

Every year, some seasonal vegetables are planted in the small flowerbed at home, as well as potatoes and sweet potatoes, which are staple foods that can help people resist hunger.

The second son and the youngest daughter made a wish to plant watermelons and strawberries on their birthdays.

They have been planting in the flowerbeds for many years.

In addition, she planted the cabbage, rapeseed, eggplant, peppers and tomatoes on the second floor of the kitchen.

The family is completely free to eat.

Lin Yuyu looked at Li Huiying, whose eyes were shining.

She rode a tricycle behind her and rode to the newly opened small vegetable market.

If outsiders who usually have a good relationship with her invite her to go to the department store or the vegetable market to "grab goods" together.

She will actively follow everyone to "grab", and she is not active in grabbing supplies during this period.

In everyone's eyes, she is not a normal person.

Especially, for families like them who are not short of money.

Now everyone is paid according to their salary level, and the salary is a fixed amount of money.

People around you can easily calculate how much each other's salary is.

Now the supply of materials is fixed, not only can you not buy things without tickets, but also have money.

Sometimes, the supply of materials is insufficient.

Even if you have money and tickets, you can't grab the daily necessities you need.

If someone knows where there are daily necessities that don't require tickets.

Or which department store or vegetable market has a large amount of new materials.

They are afraid that too many people will know and they will not be able to grab the daily necessities they need at home.

People who can tell each other such news have a good relationship.

Lin Yuyu rode a tricycle and followed Li Huiying and stopped at the entrance of the vegetable market.

Tonight, they will return to the courtyard to live.

She wanted to buy more meat, so she could ask Meimei and Meijia if they wanted it.

The space of the newly opened vegetable market is smaller than expected, and this vegetable market is not far from their bureau.

I don't know why Aye and his Urban Planning Management Bureau suddenly approved the opening of a vegetable market at this location.

All the large construction projects in Beijing are approved by the Urban Planning Administration after research.

Then the design institute is assigned to design and build.

Aye’s design institute is a design institute under the Urban Planning Administration.

In recent years, the city’s infrastructure has been built.

All the design institutes in Beijing, big and small, not only cannot receive any large construction projects.

Some design institutes are even in a semi-suspended state.

The most common thing they do every day is to hold ideological education meetings to learn political thoughts.

On the contrary, the Administration has new projects that need to be built.

They will closely follow their own design institute and participate in the design and construction.

In recent years, although the workload of Aye’s design institute is not large,

It’s not that they have to rely on holding meetings every day to make a living.

There are many people who know this vegetable market. The two of them stood at the door and looked at the bustling crowd inside.

They looked at each other, turned around tacitly, and each went to find the food they wanted to buy.

When they met at the entrance of the vegetable market, Lin Yuyu was carrying two kilograms of spare ribs, two kilograms of pork belly and four pig's trotters.

She looked at Li Huiying, who was carrying several large and small bags and trying to squeeze towards the entrance, and couldn't help laughing softly.

Although her relationship with Li Huiying was not as close as that with Meimei and Meijia.

In the past ten years at the company, the two of them were often together.

"Yuyu, there are small yellow croakers over there."

"It's a pity that we knew it a little late. The small yellow croakers came from Jinshi this morning and people bought some at the dock."

"The remaining fish were transported to the vegetable market and sold out soon after they were put on the market."

"I just saw the sign for the fish and squeezed through with great effort, but I only heard this from the waiter."

Lin Yuyu walked out with her, laughing.

As he walked, he listened to her carefully.
