Marrying a childless superior, she became pregnant and lived a carefree life in the 1970s.

Chapter 380 Siheyuan

Gu Jianing listened from the side, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, but she didn't go up to interrupt.

My daughter is naturally beautiful, and at only three years old, she already exudes a very attractive personality.

She believes that Yueyue will grow up gradually over time.

More and more people will like her.

She probably has quite a few boys pursuing her.

At that time, her husband, Xi Ge, will have a lot to worry about.

However, she decided not to reveal it for now.

Otherwise, her husband Xi Ge, that old father, would definitely cry!
"This is the courtyard house I awarded as a prize back then."

Gu Jianing looked at the huge and perfectly preserved courtyard house in front of her, and was slightly surprised.

Although Gu Jianing had visited Beijing in previous years, she had never had time to see the courtyard house that had been awarded to her.

This is the first time I've seen it today, and I must say, it looks very appealing from the outside. The blue bricks and gray tiles seem to gleam with a warm luster under the sunlight, revealing the charm of Beijing.

This is a three-courtyard house with countless rooms.

Moreover, it's clear that it was well-maintained before. Walking in, you can see a straight path paved with blue bricks in the center of the courtyard, with flower beds on both sides, where peonies are in full bloom.

There were also rows of green pillars in the corner.

There was also a well in the courtyard. I lifted the lid and looked inside. The water was crystal clear and sparkling.

"Look, there's even a pool here!" Gu Jianing exclaimed in surprise.

Not only is there a pool, but small fish are also swimming in it.

"After I awarded you this house, didn't you hand it over to your grandmother to help manage?"

Sheng Zexi explained, "Grandma hired someone to manage it, and look how it is now, isn't it?"

Gu Jianing nodded, "That's quite good."

When we got to the backyard, we saw a grape trellis in front of the porch that provided shade, and bunches of purple grapes hanging from it.

"And there are grapes, right? We can eat them."

"of course can."

Without Gu Jianing having to say anything, Sheng Zexi stepped forward and picked a bunch of grapes.

Then I washed it with water from the well.

The cool well water, even just for washing the grapes, made them feel refreshed.

Gu Jianing found it delicious, with a great texture, and very sweet.

“Yueyue will definitely like these grapes,” Gu Jianing said.

"Grandma knew that Yueyue and you liked to eat grapes, so she specially had them transplanted here."

"Once we move in and the grapes grow, you can sit in rocking chairs under the grape trellis, basking in the sun and eating grapes."

Gu Jianing's eyes lit up; this was a good scene.

Before long, Gu Jianing and Sheng Zexi saw Grandma Sang come over to see Chen Ma, whom she had specially hired to take care of the courtyard house.

From Grandma Sang, Gu Jianing learned that Chen Ma was a pitiful person.

She is from Beijing. When she was young, her husband ran away with another woman, and she raised her children with great difficulty.

But his son died young.

Her daughter also passed away recently, leaving behind several grandchildren to live with her.

Therefore, life was quite difficult.

By chance, Grandma Sang met Chen Ma. After getting to know Chen Ma's character, Grandma Sang also had some thoughts of helping her.

So, they hired her to help manage Gu Jianing's courtyard house.

Chen Ma was very grateful to Grandma Sang and cherished her job.

Therefore, the courtyard house has always been well maintained.

When Chen Ma met Gu Jianing, she was somewhat cautious. She knew that the beautiful lady in front of her was the true owner of this courtyard house.

Whether she can continue working here depends on this beautiful lady.

Gu Jianing was very satisfied with Chen Ma.

After starting her job at a university and hospital in Beijing, she became even busier.

She couldn't possibly manage all the work in this huge courtyard house.

So it's fine to keep Chen Ma employed.

When Chen Ma learned that the mistress of the house was very satisfied with her and was willing to let her continue to manage the courtyard house, she was very grateful.

He kept saying thank you.

"Dr. Gu, you can move in here anytime." After learning that the lady of the house was a doctor, Chen Ma also started calling her Dr. Gu.

“Okay, I’ll move over sometime today,” Gu Jianing said.

So, after returning to the Sang family home, Gu Jianing told them about moving.

“You can stay there if you want; Aunt Chen takes good care of it.”

"Moreover, it's not far from this compound, so we can come and go at any time."

“However, soon Ningning, you will be going to Beijing University for classes and Beijing Hospital for work. Axi will be reporting to the military region. What will happen to the other children?” Grandma Sang asked.

"As for Xingxing and Yueyue, I plan to send them to kindergarten; they're three years old now."

"Then we'll enroll them in classes based on their strengths."

"Xingxing likes airplanes and physics, while Yueyue likes drawing."

Upon hearing this, Grandpa Sang immediately said, "Xingxing likes airplanes? Then just learn from me."

Gu Jianing's eyes lit up when she heard that.

Yes, Grandpa Sang was a top scientist in weapons design. No matter who Xingxing learns from, it can't compare to learning from Grandpa Sang.

"Grandpa, do you have time?"

"Yes, of course there is!"

Through Grandma Sang's explanation, Gu Jianing learned that Grandpa Sang was now quite old and semi-retired.

He should have retired long ago, but the weapons research institute couldn't do without him.

Therefore, we hope he can stay for a few years and mentor others.

"That's good. Then Xingxing will stay with Grandpa during her free time."

"Alright, come here, Xingxing, come with Grandpa. Grandpa has a lot of good things for you to see."

When Xingxing came before, Grandpa Sang noticed that Xingxing liked weapon-related things.

However, at the time, he did not think about the stars in that direction.

Now that Xingxing is interested, he will test Xingxing's talent in this area.

Let's see if I can inherit his mantle.

"Then Yueyue can learn to paint with me, and you won't have to bother anyone else," Grandma Sang said.

Gu Jianing: ?

Sheng Zexi put his arm around Gu Jianing and explained, "You don't know? Your grandmother is a master of traditional Chinese painting and classical Chinese studies."

Gu Jianing: !! Is she that amazing?
It seems this family truly harbors hidden talents.

"Okay, then Xingxing and Yueyue will be left to Grandpa and Grandma."

Gu Jianing felt completely at ease leaving the matter to them.

"As for Tuantuan..."

“I’ll move into your courtyard house. I’ll help you take care of Tuantuan. Aunt Chen is there too. Even if I can’t take care of her all the time, Aunt Chen can lend a hand. I can give her a raise,” Grandma Sang suggested.

"Okay, that would be perfect." Gu Jianing readily agreed.
