The couple made a living in the 1950s.

Chapter 290 Memory Collision 3

Sanbao came out of the kitchen with his two children and saw Jiang Mingbo sitting on the sofa without saying a word.

The little girl sitting next to him saw her mother coming and stretched out her little hands to jump into her arms.

Sanbao walked over to pick up the little girl, then sat down next to Jiang Mingbo and tilted his head to look at him.

"You asked grandma to go to the courtyard to look for my parents?"

"My parents have to know about this."

"My dad must not know about this now, otherwise he wouldn't have told me, grandma, and my brother."

"Well, I wonder if my parents are okay on the train? If it's not late, we can reach Yang City at six tomorrow morning."

Sanbao leaned gently on Jiang Mingbo's shoulder and expressed his thoughts.

At this moment, Lin Manyu and Bai Ye, who were lying on the train berths, were dozing with their eyes closed.

There were not only the couple in the compartment, but also people sleeping on the middle and upper bunks on both sides.

In 1977, trains could travel at about 80 kilometers per hour, which was faster than before the founding of the People's Republic of China.

It had already darkened outside, and there was no light at all in the cubicle.

Lin Hanyu fell asleep while lying there.

When she woke up again, all she could hear was the noise of the train.

"The train is not late. It will arrive in Yang City in about half an hour."

Bai Ye watched his wife open her eyes before he spoke in a low voice.

Lin Hanyu turned sideways to look at the man leaning on the bed, raised the corners of his mouth slightly and nodded.

She had just woken up and was still a little sleepy.

"Are you going to Yang City?"

"Yes, you are going to Yang City too."

Lin Hanyu heard the middle-aged woman lying on Bai Ye’s upper bunk talking, and raised her head and looked at her with a smile.

"Big sister, I'm from Yang City."

"This time I am back from visiting my parents' home"

Lin Hanyu felt a little embarrassed when she heard this.

As a man in his fifties, I really don't deserve to be called "sister" by her.

She turned her head to look at Bai Ye who stood up and quietly packed his things, then fixed her gaze on the middle-aged woman who was speaking.

"Have many private residences been returned in Yang City during this period?"

As soon as Lin Hanyu finished speaking, the atmosphere in the compartment instantly froze.

Zhang Shoufang couldn't help but look closely at the woman in front of him. This woman exuded exquisiteness from head to toe.

Could it be that one of the descendants of the five black categories returned to Yangzhou to ask for a house?

She was wondering in her mind which families in the unit had no one looking for their houses.

Recently, people have been coming to their housing management office to handle the formalities for houses that meet the return conditions.

Bai Ye felt the atmosphere in the compartment and gently put down the cloth bag in his hand.

He turned around and sat next to his wife.

Zhang Shoufang withdrew his gaze from them and looked at Bai Ye.

"Which house are you looking for?"

"We just ask casually."

Seeing that Bai Ye didn't want to say more, Zhang Shoufang lowered his head slightly and spoke in a calm voice after a while.

"With the previous property certificate, you can go to the housing management office to check the property information."

"If you want to go through the procedures for a new property, you have to see if the house meets the return conditions..."

Seeing that she didn't want to reveal too much, Lin Hanyu didn't force her.

He reached into the cloth bag on the bedside, took out an apple and placed it in her hand.

Zhang Shoufang looked at the big red apple in his hand and felt a little embarrassed.

This apple is of good quality, so it must be expensive.

The information she just told me, which was not difficult to find out, was really not worth this apple.

She opened her mouth, but thought of her little grandson at home and ultimately made no sound.

At this time, the train slowly stopped.

The conductor's station announcements echoed throughout the carriage.

Lin Hanyu and Bai Ye only left a small cloth bag outside, and they got out of the car easily.

After a while, we found a hotel near Yangzhou Railway Station.

The two walked out of the hotel room and tried to find traces of the past in the streets and alleys.

This ancient city, which has always been a prosperous city, was occupied by invaders in December 1937.

The alleys of Beijing and the lanes of Yangzhou.

Lin Hanyu and Bai Ye were shuttling between small alleys.

Before I knew it, I arrived at Guangling Road, and the Bai family's old house was on this road.

They looked at the dilapidated gate of the old house from afar. The door to the courtyard was closed, and it seemed that someone was living there.

Su-style architecture is mostly surrounded by gardens and forests, mountains and rivers, and winding paths that are hidden but not exposed. "There are circuitous twists and turns in the straight and exposed, and ups and downs in the relaxed places."

It has its own beauty, the symmetrical beauty and solemnity of Beijing-style architecture and the elegance of the green tiles and white walls of Anhui-style architecture.

Most Su-style buildings are two-story, with a horse-head wall and flying eaves on the roof, which is both beautiful and can prevent rain erosion.

The Bai family's old house covers an area of ​​1,200 square meters. In the memories of the two people, there are rockery and fish ponds at the entrance of the house, lush flowers and trees, and secluded paths leading to the buildings.

Their family has been salt merchants for generations and have been sailing at sea for many years.

At that time, they were one of the richest families in the whole Jiangsu Province.

Now Bai Ye was looking at the dilapidated gate of the mansion, but he and Hanhan were standing outside the door and unable to move forward.

Slowly clench your fists in your sleeves.

Lin Hanyu noticed his emotions and reached out to pull his arm.

"Let's go to Dongguan Street first to see what our house is like. My eldest brother said that if the old house is successfully found, it will be registered in my name first."

"When he has time to come to Yangzhou, we will go through the property change procedures."

"Brother is right. We need to return the house first to avoid any more trouble."

As Bai Ye spoke, he took his wife's hand and walked towards Dongguan Street.

Looking from outside the wall of the Lin family's old house, one can still vaguely see some of the past scenery.

The sycamore tree at the door seemed to still be guiding the golden phoenix to fly towards the Lin family as it did in the past.

Lin Hanyu and Bai Ye did not stay near the two houses for long.

We will have to wait until we go to the Housing Management Office in the afternoon to find out the specific regulations for the old house.

Yang Hua and Gu Yue, a couple, just transferred to Yangzhou some time ago.

Yang Hua was assigned to work in the government, and Gu Yue worked as a nurse in Yangzhou People's Hospital.

At this moment, they were going to the city government to find Yang Hua and go to the Housing Management Office together in the afternoon.

It's better to have someone trustworthy who is familiar with Yang City than just the two of them.

By the time the two of them arrived at the city government gate, it was already lunch time.

Here and there, a few people wearing Zhongshan suits riding bicycles came out.

After a while, Bai Ye saw Yang Hua riding a bicycle towards them.

A smile involuntarily appeared on his stern face.

Yang Hua is the younger brother of his good friend Yang Huai, and he always treats him as his own brother in his heart.

If Yang Hua hadn’t been injured during a rescue operation, and his old injury had not been involved.

He would not choose to change his career.

Children who come from military families are more or less attached to the army.

"Brother, sister, welcome here!"

"How are you? Are you used to the climate in Yang City?"

The three of them hadn't seen each other for a while, but they didn't seem strange at all when they met again.

As they talked, they walked towards the nearest state-owned restaurant.

Lin Yuyu looked at the small blackboard in the state-owned restaurant and saw the words Yangshi fried rice, crab meat lion head and boiled dried shredded vegetables.

There was a gleam of sparkle in her eyes, and the familiar names of Huaiyang dishes made her feel at home.
