The couple made a living in the 1950s.

Chapter 249 Ordinary Days 4

"Last night, I had a stomachache and was in the toilet all the time."

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

He didn't pay attention to Bai Ye who was walking past him.

Bai Ye glanced at Wang Changjing, who had a smile on his face, and suppressed his doubts about Sun Jianguo.

As long as other people's affairs do not involve his own family, it has nothing to do with him.

When Lin Hanyu got home, she washed her hands and ate dinner directly as usual.

"grandfather."

"Ok?"

"Have we been living in this house for the past few days?"

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

He picked up another potato chip and put it in his mouth.

Now my two little granddaughters ask me a hundred thousand questions from time to time.

Sometimes when she is asked something and she doesn’t know what to say, she often doesn’t dare to initiate a conversation.

It would be best to leave the task of answering a hundred thousand whys to their grandfather.

"Well, does Ah Yun like living here?"

"Hmm... not bad."

When the little guy heard his grandfather asking him if he liked it, he fell into deep thought.

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

The two little sisters finally started talking to each other while eating.

Forget the previous problems.

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

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

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

He looked at his groggy wife in his arms and felt a little guilty.

Lin Hanyu noticed his gaze and closed her eyes in his arms, not wanting to open them.

This man, every time he did that, he felt sorry for her only after he had gone through all the trouble with her.

By the time the two of them finished washing up and returned to the master bedroom, half an hour had passed.

Lin Hanyu 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 has to come back to work, and our Jin is still working on the farm in the countryside."

"I don't know how Liu Chunqing is laughing at me in her heart this time."

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

"It's not like in a tube-shaped building, where toilets and kitchens are shared by everyone."

"The design institute also took on the construction of housing for high-level officials' families from several units."

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

“I feel great when I walk outside.”

"But here in the family compound, I am nothing."

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

"Watching their lives every day, I feel really depressed."

"That's how people live."

"Every day I see two neighbors whose parents are both working, and I feel frustrated."

When Zhao Huandi heard what he said, she sat up from the bed.

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

"Do you miss me so much? I was scolded out of my home by that woman Liu Chunqing because of Jia Jin's marriage."

"What kind of man are you if you don't even say a word?"

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

"I only ask you to take care of the family, and you keep nagging me every day."

"You just need to be dealt with."

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

Sun Jiabao and his wife, who lived in the second bedroom, heard the noise and came over.

All I saw was my mother with a bruised nose and eyes, and my father with his face covered with scratches from his fingernails.

Lin Manyu was in a daze, and when she heard the noise, she leaned into Bai Ye's arms again and continued to sleep.

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

Anyone with a discerning eye can tell what happened from the marks on my parents' faces.

Starting tomorrow, the neighbors in the housing estate will probably have to keep an eye on their family for a while.

Zhao Huandi felt uncomfortable when she saw her eldest son sitting next to her not speaking for her.

He glared at his eldest daughter-in-law Zhou Xiaomei.

"Can't you see that I'm in pain? Why don't you go get some hot water for me to wash my face?"

When Zhou Xiaomei heard what her mother-in-law said, she reluctantly stood up and walked towards the kitchen.

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

Now, she just wants to go to bed early.

"Boil some more hot water for me. You're the only one who can pour the water from the thermos, but I can't do it for myself?"

Zhou Xiaoyu put down the thermos in her hand and turned around to add another coal ball to the coal stove used for earth heating at home.

Her mother-in-law asked her to boil water, but she didn't let her use the kerosene stove.

If it weren't winter now, we would have to keep the coal stove burning to keep warm.

Her mother-in-law would rather wash her face with cold water than agree to "waste" kerosene.

Every time I think of the days when we had to wash clothes with cold water in the old house in winter before we moved into the staff housing complex.

She really wanted to beat up the old woman.

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

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

My father-in-law is not nice to my mother-in-law, but he can't stand the younger generations not listening to her.

To him, that was a challenge to his authority at home.

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

In the Sun family, women are supposed to listen to men.

Zhou Xiaoyu thought of her two older sisters-in-law who were already married at her husband’s side.

A trace of sarcasm flashed through her heart, thinking that the mother-in-law was using her married daughter to gain benefits for her husband.

She can be considered a beneficiary, and suddenly she feels inferior compared to her two elder sisters-in-law.

Now it’s not so unacceptable to do some housework by myself.

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

"You were laying eggs in the kitchen? What took you so long to boil water?"

"Come on, Mom."

It was an hour later when Sun Jianguo and Zhao Huandi lay back on the bed.

The two people slept soundly with their backs to each other, with a person's distance between them.

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

Only then did I feel relieved and lay back on the bed.

"Jiabao, I've run into Liu Chunqing, whom Mom just mentioned, a few times in the corridor."

"But the woman from Deputy Chief Engineer Bai's family, we haven't even met her once in such a long time 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 her father disliked her because she was not as educated and had a job as the neighbor's wife.

He also didn't want to deal with his wife.

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

It is said that the woman from the Bai family is even more rebellious than Liu Chunqing.

Relying on his education and good job, he acts bossy at home.

She also asked the man who was responsible for the family to go into the kitchen and cook for her.

I couldn't wait to see what she looked like.

In fact, she also looked down on such women.

Women are in charge of the home and men are in charge of the outside world. Women are supposed to suppress men at home.

The more I think about it, the more I feel that those people in the staff quarters who usually praise Deputy Chief Engineer Bai for his excellence also have poor vision.

Thinking that she had to go to work to work tomorrow, she forced herself to sleep.

The work in their cotton mill workshop is not easy. If they don't sleep well, they will not have the energy to work the next day.

At this moment, Lin Hanyu was sleeping soundly.

I don't know yet, some people look down on her.

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

Reluctantly he sat up.

"I'm going to make breakfast. You can sleep a little longer."

"it is good."

Lin Hanyu agreed verbally, then lay back down on the bed and continued to sleep.

"grandmother…"

"Ok?"

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

"grandmother……"

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

"Dad said that if you don't get up from the nursery, you're a lazy pig."

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

She looked at her two little granddaughters who were kissing her faces with saliva.

I tried hard to resist the urge to spank them.

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

After getting herself ready and having breakfast, she rode her tricycle to work with her two granddaughters.

Naturally, they did not notice the young woman who followed them and walked out of the corridor door quickly.

Zhou Xiaoyu looked at Lin Manyu's back with a bad expression on her face.

The factory workshops operate on a shift system, and the medical staff in the hospital also work in three shifts.

It's just that each of them has one full day off every week.

If I don’t have shifts on weekdays, I can leave the workshop and arrange my own time.

If she didn't go out of the house on purpose, it would be difficult for her to meet people who go to work at eight in the morning and get off work at four in the evening.

Zhou Xiaoyu was thinking about the broken tricycle that the Bai family often parked downstairs in the staff building.

He couldn't help showing disdain on his face.

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

She wouldn't ride that tattered tricycle.

At noon, Lin Manyu watched Li Ze and Fang Jun taking their two little granddaughters to the cafeteria for lunch.

She turned around with a smile and walked towards the office gate with Li Huiying.

In the past, it was always inconvenient when she, Li Ze and their children were the only ones eating together in the company cafeteria.

They are relatives and have been friends for many years.

Occasionally, it's okay to have a meal alone with my two little granddaughters.

If we always eat together, I'm afraid it will cause groundless rumors.

She felt more relaxed since Fang Jun came to work at the Public Security Bureau.

The two little granddaughters in the family would have lunch with their grandpa and uncle from time to time.

It was common for Li Ze and his department not to return to the bureau for lunch when on a mission.

Now that Fang Jun has come to work in the Finance Department, she can feel free to be lazy.

The two little granddaughters like to pester their little uncle to play with them.

"Hanyu, I heard that this newly opened small market has plenty of goods."

"We have to hurry up and go take a look after the two days of the new opening."

"I don't know yet, what will be the quantity of food provided?"

"I'm like before, I don't feel energetic enough to get up early in the morning to queue up in department stores."

"After all, he is not young."

"Then let's hurry up."

Lin Manyu took Li Huiying's hand and walked towards the carport at a quick pace.

Their family had no shortage of food, so she and Aye only had to go to the Dongdan vegetable market a few more times.

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

Every year, some seasonal vegetables, as well as potatoes and sweet potatoes, which are staple foods for satisfying hunger, are planted in the small flower beds at home.

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

They have been planted in flower beds over the years.

In addition, there are the Chinese cabbage, rapeseed, eggplants, peppers and tomatoes she planted on the second floor of the kitchen.

You have complete freedom over what you eat at home.

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

I followed her on the tricycle and rode towards the newly opened small vegetable market.

If an outsider who she has a good relationship with invites her to go to a department store or the vegetable market to "grab some goods".

She would actively follow everyone to "grab", even though she was not very active in grabbing supplies during this period.

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

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

Nowadays, everyone’s salary is based on salary level, and the salary is a fixed amount of money.

People around you can just do a simple calculation and they will know how much each other’s salary is.

Now the supply of materials is fixed, and even if you have money you can’t buy anything without tickets.

Sometimes supplies run low.

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

If anyone knows where to buy daily necessities without tickets.

Or there may be a large amount of new supplies in a department store or vegetable market.

They are afraid that if too many people know about it, they will not be able to get the daily necessities they need for their families.

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

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

Tonight, they returned to the courtyard.

She wanted to buy more meat, so she asked Meimei and Meijia if they wanted some.

The newly opened vegetable market is smaller than expected, and it is not far from their bureau.

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

All major construction projects in Beijing are carefully studied and approved by the City Planning Administration.

Then appoint a design institute to design and build.

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

In recent years, urban infrastructure has been completed.

Not only are the design institutes of all sizes in Beijing unable to take on any large-scale construction projects that look like they belong.

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

The most common thing we do every day is to hold ideological education meetings to study political ideas.

On the contrary, it is the management bureau that approves new projects that need to be constructed.

They will go to their own design institute to participate in the design and construction.

In recent years, Aye's design institute has not had a large workload.

Not really, we have to rely on holding meetings every day to make a living.

Many people know this vegetable market, and the two of them stood at the door looking at the bustling crowd inside.

After looking at each other, they turned around and went to find the food they wanted to buy.

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

She couldn't help but chuckle as she looked at Li Huiying, who was carrying several large and small bags and trying to squeeze towards the door.

Although, my relationship with Li Huiying is not as close as with Meimei and Meijia.

Over the past ten years at work, the two of them have been together often.

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

"Unfortunately, we found out a little late. The small yellow croaker came from Jinshi this morning and someone bought some at the dock."

"The remaining fish were transported to the market and were sold out within a short time of being put on display."

"I just saw the sign for the fish and squeezed through, and all I heard was this from the waiter."

Lin Hanyu walked out with her, smiling.

While walking, I listened to her carefully.
