The couple made a living in the 1950s

After breakfast, Sanbao cleaned up the kitchen and the house.

From the dining sideboard in the dining room, she took out a set of palace lantern pots and cups for sour plum soup.

After filling the sour plum soup, she put them on a tray and brought them to the bamboo round table under the courtyard awning.

In their family, the pots and cups used for sour plum soup, jasmine tea, Tieguanyin, and Biluochun tea will not be mixed together.

The sour plum soup made by her mother is very delicious, much better than the ones sold outside.

Knowing that she and her brothers like to drink it, as long as they are not in a hurry in the morning when they are at home.

Mom will make sour plum soup and put it on the dining table waiting for them to pour it out.

In the courtyard, Sanbao is now sitting under the awning and drinking sour plum soup leisurely.

On the bamboo table, there are strawberries and watermelons in the lotus petal plate and crabapple plate respectively.

She reached out and took a strawberry and put it in her mouth, squinting her eyes with sweetness.

These strawberries and watermelons were birthday gifts for her and her brother when they were young.

During the three years of natural disasters, most of the flower beds were planted with sweet potatoes, white potatoes and potatoes.

But my parents never said that they would not plant strawberries and watermelons in the flower beds.

Knock, knock, knock…

Sanbao was lost in thought when she heard someone knocking on the moon door.

She got up and opened the moon door, and saw a young man standing outside who looked familiar.

He was about the same height as his two brothers, but not as fair-skinned as them.

Jiang Mingbo looked at the girl standing in front of him with doubts in her eyes, and lowered his head to hide the self-mockery in his eyes.

When he looked up again, his eyes were still full of smiles as when he came.

"Qingshu, I heard from grandma yesterday that you were at home on vacation, so I came to see you."

Sanbao's eyes lit up when he heard the low voice in his ear.

"You are Brother Mingbo, I didn't dare to recognize you just now."

"Come in quickly"

Sanbao turned sideways and let Jiang Mingbo enter the yard.

In the living room of the Bai family, Jiang Mingbo sat on the sofa and looked at Sanbao who was helping him pour tea with a smile.

They had not seen each other since the year he went to Harbin to study.

"Brother Mingbo, how long will you stay at home this time?"

Sanbao raised his hand and pushed the Magnolia Cup with Biluochun already poured in front of Jiang Mingbo, indicating that he should taste his craftsmanship.

Jiang Mingbo obediently picked up the Magnolia Cup, took a sip of tea and nodded with a smile.

"I will return to the military region next Monday."

"Which military region is Brother Mingbo assigned to?"

Jiang Mingbo paused holding the Magnolia Cup when he heard this.

"I am assigned to the Yangshi Military Region, which is not close to Beijing."

After he finished speaking, he could not help but explore the emotions in Sanbao's eyes.

Sanbao was puzzled and had to smile sweetly at him.

At noon, in the Finance Department of the Municipal Public Security Bureau.

"Sister Yu, shall we have lunch together?"

Lin Yu was about to get up and go to the cafeteria.

She heard the voice of Zhang Liyan, a female college student who had just been assigned to their department the day before yesterday.

The desk she used to use by the door was now used by Zhang Liyan.

Zhang Liyan saw Lin Yu nod, and happily stepped forward to hold her arm and the two walked out of the office together.

Li Huiying followed behind them and shook her head secretly.

"The calculation in Zhang Liyan's eyes is too obvious, she can see it."

Thinking of this, she took a few quick steps forward and walked on the other side of Lin Yu.

In the cafeteria, Zhang Liyan looked at the braised pork in Lin Yu's aluminum lunch box and secretly swallowed her saliva.

The food in the cafeteria was good today. Li Huiying put the money in Lin Yu's hand and shook her hand mischievously.

She smiled and picked up two meals, left the cafeteria and went to eat with her youngest son at his school.

Her eldest son, second son and third son have graduated and been assigned to work.

Now only the youngest son is in the second grade of senior primary school, and their family's living conditions are getting better and better.

Zhang Liyan looked at Li Huiying's cheerful back, turned her head and looked at Lin Manyu with a smile.

"Sister Yu and Sister Ying have a really good relationship, which makes people envious."

Lin Manyu nodded at her with a smile, picked up the chopsticks and started eating.

Zhang Liyan saw that Lin Manyu had already started eating, so she also picked up the stir-fried cabbage in her aluminum lunch box and started eating.

In fact, the first time she met Lin Manyu was not the day she reported to the bureau, but earlier than this time.

Her aunt's family and Lin Manyu lived in the same courtyard. Her uncle was Li Zezheng and her aunt was Wang Xianggui.

They lived in the room to the east of the main house in the fourth courtyard of the main courtyard.

She had heard of Lin Manyu when she went to the courtyard to find her aunt before.

She also knew that the Bai family had two sons, who were good-looking, good at studying, and well-off.

She was assigned to work at the Public Security Bureau after graduation, which was indeed due to the help of her family.

But the family was able to make such plans for her sisters, not because the parents loved their daughters.

It was to help the daughters in the family find a good husband and give back to their parents in the future.

Instead of waiting for her family to...

She went to look for old men who had lost their original wives and had children.

It would be better for her to find a young and promising partner for herself.

Lin Hanyu looked at Zhang Liyan, who was still in a daze while eating, and a sneer flashed in her eyes.

Although she looked harmless, she was not easy to bully.

Why did Zhang Liyan have the courage to stick to her.

After lunch, Lin Hanyu walked to the office as usual.

However, this time, Zhang Liyan was with her.

In the evening, when Lin Hanyu returned to the courtyard, the courtyard had already become lively.

This time was when each household was preparing dinner.

"Did the Bai family just get off work? They came back early today."

Lin Hanyu smiled and took a look, and Wang Xianggui, who was washing vegetables at the door of her house, nodded.

"I just got back from get off work. Sister-in-law Li is still busy. I'm going home to cook."

She didn't stop walking, and there was a hint of doubt in her eyes.

Wang Xianggui is in a good mood today? Seeing her come back so enthusiastic.

Usually, the two of them didn't even talk to each other a few times.

When Lin Yuyu entered the house, Sanbao was still cooking dinner in the kitchen.

She looked at her mother who pushed the door in and walked forward with a smile.

"Mom, I bought some pig's trotters and pig's ears today."

"In the evening, we will eat braised pig's trotters, cold pig's ears and scrambled eggs with cucumbers."

Lin Yuyu looked at her little girl who was waiting to be praised around her, and a smile flashed in her eyes.

No matter how old you are, you are a child in front of your mother.

She raised her hand and gently tapped her daughter's little nose.

"It's not easy to buy pig's trotters and pig's ears in the market now. It's hard for our Sanbao to queue up at the meat processing factory."

After speaking, Lin Yuyu turned back to the bedroom to change clothes.

She didn't notice her little girl's hesitation behind her.

Sanbao sat back on the small square stool, thinking about the afternoon.

This afternoon, she didn't line up for the pig's trotters and pig's ears.

The father of Mingbo's comrade-in-arms worked in the meat processing factory, and he had left some pig's trotters and pig's ears for him early.

Mingbo gave her some, and she had paid for these things.

Thinking of this, she blinked her eyes. It didn't matter if she didn't tell her mother about this.
