Chapter 425 Full Moon Banquet

We will wait until Liu Yinyin and the kids come to the island to hold the full moon party. Now...

Gu Cheng nodded and said, "Of course we will do it."

He wanted to have a big party and invite people to his house to liven up the party.

Who wouldn't envy him when he suddenly had three more sons?

Jiang Cuihua smiled and said, "It's only two days away. I'll go and make arrangements tomorrow. There are no other relatives on the island, just your eldest brother, second brother and his family..."

There are also Liu Yinyin and Gu Cheng’s friends and colleagues.

Jiang Cuihua added: "You two should think about it this evening and see how many people will come to your house so I can buy food."

Gu Cheng hurriedly said, "Mom, I'll take care of these things."

Jiang Cuihua had to take care of the children and had no time to prepare a full-month banquet.

Liu Yinyin interrupted, "Yes, mother, just let Gu Cheng take care of it."

Jiang Cuihua smiled and said, "I can't be idle anyway."

It's better to be busy. As long as she is idle, she will feel unfocused.

Liu Yinyin had just returned to the island, so other people didn’t know about it yet.

Living next door, Zheng Qiangwei knew they were back when she heard the noise.

In the afternoon, he couldn't wait to bring his daughter over to visit.

He came in a hurry and only brought twenty eggs, a bag of brown sugar, a bag of brown sugar, and a bag of apples.

"Tomorrow I will ask Aunt Wang to buy me a hen to supplement your diet."

Liu Yinyin smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if I can't buy it. I'm almost done with my confinement and I've been drinking a lot of soup."

"That won't do." Zheng Qiangwei changed the subject and said, "I heard that you gave birth to three sons?"

It was Yang Yiming who told her about this. The news that Gu Cheng had three sons at once spread throughout the army.

Liu Yinyin nodded and took Zheng Qiangwei to the room to see the children.

"Oh my god, this is the first time I've seen triplets." Zheng Qiangwei's eyes widened. "They don't look much alike."

She had always thought that twins should look exactly the same, and triplets... were three identical children.

Liu Yinyin's three sons looked very similar when they were born.

However, after raising them for about a month, the three little guys have grown up a bit and look quite different.

Liu Yinyin was not quite sure about the situation: "It's better if they don't look alike, otherwise we won't be able to tell them apart in the future."

"I really envy you. You have three more children all of a sudden. You must be suffering a lot, right?"

She was indeed envious, but she really didn't dare to ask Zheng Qiangwei to give birth to three children.

Liu Yinyin said casually: "It's all in the past."

To be honest, giving birth to triplets is indeed a life-threatening undertaking, but when it comes to having children, Liu Yinyin can't just give birth to as many children as she wants.

Zheng Qiangwei did not mention the matter of having children again. Then she remembered something and said, "Did your Gu Cheng tell you that he seems to be getting promoted again?"

Liu Yinyin said in surprise: "...No way?"

Promotions in the military are slow to begin with, and Gu Chengcai was promoted to deputy brigade commander not long ago. At this juncture, it is unlikely that he will be promoted further.

"Not necessarily." Zheng Yanwei also heard from Yang Yiming, "The higher-ups haven't arranged for a leader to come down yet. Isn't it just to train Deputy Brigade Commander Gu so that he can directly accept the position of Brigade Commander?"

"I heard from someone that when Brigade Commander Wei left, he recommended Gu Cheng to his superiors, intending to have him take over the position of Brigade Commander..."

"That means it's still uncertain." Liu Yinyin didn't dare to acknowledge something that hadn't been decided yet.

It's fine for Gu Cheng the way he is now, and as for promotion, just let it take its course.

"Your Gu Cheng is the best..." Zheng Qiangwei muttered softly, "It's not so easy for my Yiming to get promoted."

Liu Yinyin didn't know what to say: "There will be a chance."

Zheng Qiangwei sighed, "You don't know, Yiming was originally going to be promoted, but when the time came, the higher-ups said that Yiming's family background was complicated, so they withheld his transfer order."

In fact, Yang Yiming had long wanted to return to the Capital Military Region, and came to the island just to gain some experience.

However, the world is changing.

Yang Yiming's originally good family background has now become an obstacle to his promotion and even his military career.

Yang Yiming's family conditions were really good. His uncles and aunts were all wealthy people with large families and businesses.

Unfortunately...

Zheng Qiangwei was quite scared when she thought about it, so she changed her words and said, "It doesn't matter if I can't get promoted, as long as my family is safe and sound."

Liu Yinyin: “…”

She didn't know why, but she always felt that Zheng Qiangwei now was completely different from the one she just met, with a hint of sadness in her eyes.

Liu Yinyin didn't ask any more questions: "By the way, Rose, we are going to hold a full-month banquet for the children in a couple of days. Then, will you and Captain Yang come over for dinner?"

Zheng Qiangwei smiled and said, "I will definitely come."

Gu Cheng had something to do in the afternoon, so he went back to the army after lunch.

Jiang Cuihua also went out to buy some vegetables from the supply and marketing cooperative and cooked for herself in the evening.

Because she had triplets, Jiang Cuihua was always worried about the pressure on her daughter's family and tried every way to help them save money.

No matter how Liu Yinyin tried to persuade him, it was useless.

Zheng Qiangwei sat at home for a long time. When she left, Jiang Cuihua had not returned yet.

The children fell asleep, and Liu Yinyin cleaned up the kitchen.

Gu Cheng was alone at home and always ate in the cafeteria.

There wasn't much food left in the kitchen. Apart from the rice and flour that Gu Cheng brought back today, the rice and flour jars at home were almost empty.

There were only some sundry grains like soybeans, red beans, sesame seeds, and dried goods.

There was also a basket of eggs, which were picked by Mrs. Liu.

There was nothing else left. For fear that the food would go bad, most of it was sent to Qing City by someone else.

Liu Yinyin thought that after she was out of confinement, she would have to find an opportunity to stock up on some food...

The kitchen is not messy, but a little dusty.

Liu Yinyin poured a basin of water and was just about to mop the kitchen.

Jiang Cuihua came back and hurriedly took over the work from Liu Yinyin.

"I told you, you are still in confinement, so you can't touch cold water. If you don't pay attention, you will develop a chronic disease in the future."

Liu Yinyin smiled and said, "I mixed it with hot water..."

Jiang Cuihua put down the basket and said, "That won't work either. You go out and look after the kids. I'll take care of the kitchen."

Liu Yinyin didn't leave immediately: "Mom, what did you buy? Why did you take so long?"

She used to work in a supply and marketing cooperative, and at this time of day, there were usually few people buying things in the cooperative.

Of course, there aren’t many dishes to buy.

Jiang Cuihua sighed and said, "I only bought a bunch of celery leaves that others had left over and a few potatoes. Your former colleague knew me and gave me a bunch of fresh rapeseed and a few eggplants."

"Your colleagues talked to me for a long time. They were all very surprised to hear that you gave birth to triplets. They said they would come to see you tomorrow."
