The meal was a lively one. Some old people ran to see the three little ones before they finished eating. Four white-haired old people gathered around the cradle, touching their heads to play with the three little ones.

"Oh, they all look the same. How can I tell the eldest, the second and the third?" Grandpa Rong took a closer look at the triplets. From their noses to their eyes to their mouths, they all looked like they were printed from the same mold.

"The thinner one is the third child, the one with rounder eyes is the daughter, and the one with a tuft of hair on his head is the eldest child." Sister Sun introduced.

"Oh, this is the third child? I heard that you were playing hide-and-seek in your mother's belly and hid it from all of us!" Grandpa Gu reached out and touched the third child's nose. The third child waved his little fist and grinned.

This smile melted Mr. Gu's heart.

At the dinner table, Gu Huaijing asked Gu Ye: "When are you going to report?"

"tomorrow!"

Gu Huaijing nodded, "You guys stay at home first, and you can move in whenever you want after your house is ready!"

Gu Ye was transferred back to the capital this time and had to report to the military region first. He had not been informed of the subsequent arrangements, but Gu Ye had already told Jiang Yue privately that Gu Yuanzhang and Gu Huaijing wanted him to be the commander of the newly established independent field regiment.

He is still considering it.

As for the house that Gu Huaijing mentioned, it happened when Jiang Yue and Gu Ye came to Beijing before the Chinese New Year, and she dragged Gu Ye to accompany her for a stroll in the alleys.

At that time, Gu Ye thought Jiang Yue was only interested in hutong culture, but he didn't expect that her purpose was to buy a courtyard house.

After returning home, she asked Rongyin to find someone to help her find out if there were any courtyard houses for sale near Beijing University.

A few months ago, a family wanted to sell their courtyard house. Rong Yin sent someone to see it. The location was good and the house was good. She called Jiang Yue to tell her about it, and Jiang Yue immediately decided to buy it.

Jiang Yue spent three thousand yuan to buy the courtyard house, which is considered a sky-high price nowadays. In this era, as long as you become a formal employee of an organization, the organization will provide you with housing, so few people have the idea of ​​buying a house. Most people think that buying a house is a waste of money.

Who would spend money to buy a house when there are free public housing to live in? It’s not like you have too much money and nowhere to spend it!

Gu Huaijing didn't quite understand at first, but Rongyin told him that his daughter-in-law had her own ideas and that she must have her reasons for spending three thousand to buy a house, so he had no objection.

Rongyin arranged for someone to handle the transfer of the house. Jiang Yue was pregnant at that time and it was inconvenient for her to come to Beijing, so the decoration was handed over to Rongyin, as she trusted her mother-in-law's vision.

Jiang Yue plans to take some time to visit the Siheyuan with Gu Ye tomorrow.

In order to welcome the arrival of the three little ones, Gu Huaijing and Rong Yin cleaned up two rooms and bought three small cradles for the house. Grandpa Rong and Grandma Rong also specially sent a nanny to take care of the three little ones together with Sister Sun.

Nothing happened that night. The next morning, Gu Ye got up, washed up, put on his military uniform, came in and said to Jiang Yue, "I'm going to report. I should be back early today. Let's go see the courtyard together when I come back."

"Yeah." Jiang Yue was still sleepy and responded vaguely.

She sensed Gu Ye's breath approaching, so she raised her face, put her hands around his neck, and said lazily, "Come back soon!"

Gu Ye looked at his little wife's sleepy and innocent appearance, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.

Jiang Yue slept for a while. After all, she was a little uncomfortable with the new environment, so she got up soon.

There was a sound coming from downstairs. It was Rong Yin playing with the triplets. Seeing Jiang Yue coming downstairs, she smiled and said, "We are free today. Let's go register the babies!"

"OK!"

The names of the triplets were finalized not long ago. The eldest is called Gu Chu, the second is Gu Qing, and the youngest is Gu Yan. They are just waiting to return to Beijing to register their household registration.

After breakfast, Jiang Yue fed the three children one by one, then went out with Rong Yin. It was just after nine o'clock when they finished registering their household registration.

School is about to start in a few days, and Jiang Yue has to buy some daily necessities.

It was already late August and the weather was still hot. Jiang Yue had not been out for long. When she returned home, she heard people crying loudly at home from a distance.

"Baby, don't cry. Look, mommy is back!" Sister Sun was holding one, and the other two were lying in the cradle. The three little ones were crying together. Jiang Yue knew the feeling of that devilish sound piercing her brain better than anyone else.

Her three babies all have good tempers. They are not the noisy ones. Even the most pretentious little one, the third one, seldom cries as long as he is not hungry.

But the three little ones are very attached to her. Whenever she goes out for a while, they will come to find her.

As soon as Jiang Yue came back, she coaxed the three little ones one by one, and finally calmed them down. They were drinking milk and smiling happily.

After a while, Gu Ye came back. He took off his military cap and hung it on the rack at the door. He went to wash his hands first, and then came to see his son and daughter.

"Gu Ye, let's go out now!" Jiang Yue asked, "We have to hurry up, we just fed the baby!"

She had to take care of her work while the three little ones were asleep, otherwise they would come looking for her again when they woke up.

"Okay, let's go!" Gu Ye went upstairs, changed into casual clothes, and went out with Jiang Yue.

Gu Ye had just reported to the army and had not been assigned a car yet. Rong Yin had a car, but after she sent Jiang Yue back, she went to the Chamber of Commerce, so the two had to walk to catch the bus.

When Jiang Yue came to the military compound before the Chinese New Year, she didn't know she was pregnant. During that period, she just felt uncomfortable, had no energy and wanted to sleep, and she hardly walked around the compound.

When she came back this time, she was already a mother of three babies.

Walking on the tree-lined avenue of the military compound, Jiang Yue met soldiers in green uniforms and family members of soldiers wearing Dacron and plastic sandals. Suddenly, she had an illusion that she had not left the military family compound in Qingshan County.

After getting on the bus, Jiang Yue told Gu Ye about her illusion, and Gu Ye was amused.

"The military compound is also a family compound. It looks like you'll get used to it soon!"

The two got off the bus and walked into the alley. Gu Ye seemed very familiar with the place.

"My grandpa's house is not far from here. I came here when I was a kid and ran around everywhere!" Gu Ye held Jiang Yue's hand, walked through the alley, and arrived in front of a courtyard.

"Here it is!" Gu Ye looked up and took out the key to unlock it.

This courtyard house is not very big and is very well preserved. Rongyin said that the owner of this courtyard house was an official in the Qing Dynasty and had a rich family fortune, with several courtyard houses like this one.

A few years ago, this family was criticized and their property was confiscated. It was not until last year that they were rehabilitated and their property was returned. However, this family was probably afraid of being imprisoned and was paranoid, fearing that such a campaign would happen again and they would lose both their money and their lives, so they wanted to sell the courtyard house.

Three thousand yuan is a considerable sum of money for people of that era. An ordinary person would have to work hard for ten years and not eat or drink to save three thousand yuan.

Rongyin said that after the family sold the courtyard house, they did not buy a house, but rented a tube-shaped building. A family of seven or eight people lived in a small house of less than 50 square meters.

Hearing about this family's situation, Jiang Yue could only sigh.

If this family insists on not selling the courtyard house, it may be sold for hundreds of millions of yuan in a few decades.
