The next day, Zhou Cuilan prepared breakfast and sent the four of them off to school.
"Last night, I slept straight through till morning. I feel fantastic," Yang Zheng said.
"Me too," Meng Liang added. "I'm completely refreshed."
"I didn't even feel like staying in bed today," said Chen Miaomiao.
Compared to them, Lin Jie felt his entire body surging with energy; his spirits were exceptionally high.
Zhou Cuilan dropped them off at school. "I'll bring you lunch at noon. What do you want to eat?"
"Anything is fine."
After a full morning of studying, Lin Jie felt like he had become much smarter. The other three felt the change even more keenly. They had always felt like their minds were muddled. When the teacher went over a problem, they'd find themselves in a strange state. It felt like they understood, but at the same time, they didn't. They weren't completely lost, but it was as if they only half-grasped the concepts. Their minds were in such a state they couldn't even tell what they were thinking.
But now, they found their minds were much clearer than before. They actually understood the complex problems the teacher explained today, and it wasn't a superficial or partial understanding.
"Bro Jie, that milk tea your brother gave us is magical!"
Chen Miaomiao added with a sheepish smile, "I've never tasted milk tea like that before."
Lin Jie smiled. "Whatever it is, as long as it makes you feel good, that's all that matters."
"There are still five minutes before class. Let's do two more problems."
"Okay."
「At noon, Lin Feng was the one who cooked.」
Today, Lin Dashan didn't go to work; he had made plans to go fishing with Lin Daan and Lin Dahu.
Zhou Cuilan said with dissatisfaction, "Didn't you say you were going to spend time with your son today?"
Lin Dashan looked innocent. "They have their early education class this afternoon. What am I supposed to do?"
"Useless. Just get out of my sight, you're annoying me." After a pause, she added, "Here's the plan: you take lunch to Xiao Jie, then you can go fishing."
"...Okay."
Was he in a position to argue? Of course not!
In the afternoon, Zhou Cuilan attended the early education class. Seeing all the parents and their babies, she couldn't help but click her tongue in wonder. Today's interactive game involved parents holding their babies and pretending to be airplanes. Next, they had to identify differences between toys and sort them into categories. Playing these games expanded the babies' cognitive and learning abilities. The triplets were doing much better than before, having met some familiar playmates. By the end, Zhou Cuilan felt the early education class was an excellent idea.
「Two days later, the holiday was about to end.」
Lin Feng and Zhang Yuxi were preparing to return to Yangcheng, and Zhou Cuilan was sad to see them go.
"After Xiao Jie graduates, and Lin Feng graduates from college, our whole family can go on a trip together."
「Back in Yangcheng, it was already five in the afternoon.」
After resting for a while, Lin Feng began to prepare dinner. This time, Zhou Cuilan had also sent back the babies' walkers. The house was plenty big enough to store them. She had also packed some cured meat made during the New Year; all it needed was to be boiled and stewed. Zhang Yuxi had to go back to work tomorrow and was reluctant for the holiday to be over.
Lin Feng made the baby food first, while he and Zhang Yuxi had beef noodles. After feeding the babies, all the little ones were staring intently at the noodles in his bowl.
Quadbaby wiggled his bottom and stood up, ready to climb the playpen fence, which now seemed purely decorative. He moved with astonishing speed, his steps as swift as the wind. Lin Feng hurriedly picked him up. The little doughy Second Baby and Big Baby followed suit. And bringing up the rear, as always, was Sanbao, who was determined to be part of the group!
Quadbaby squeezed in, trying to see what Lin Feng was eating.
Lin Feng didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Daddy's already finished..."
He held out an empty bowl he had prepared earlier for the babies to see. "Look, babies, Daddy finished... it's all gone..."
Quadbaby gestured toward the kitchen.
Lin Feng: "..."
In the kitchen, there were eggs, beef sauce, and other things. Quadbaby was very interested in the eggs and reached for one. Lin Feng told him he couldn't have it and carried him away. However, he forgot just how persistent his little boy was; Quadbaby was determined to get an egg.
Lin Feng tried to distract him. "Fei Fei is gone! Fei Fei is missing! Oh dear, should we go find Fei Fei?"
After placing the babies in their walkers, Zhang Yuxi, who had sneakily finished her noodles, appeared.
"Honey, you go eat. I'll watch the babies."
I guess from now on, we'll have to eat in secret.
Lin Feng tried to eat with his back to the babies, never imagining there would be one who slipped through the net... Sanbao.
Sanbao watched him. Lin Feng slurped a mouthful of noodles, his eyes locked on Sanbao. The moment he realized he'd been caught, he started wolfing down the rest!
Sanbao blinked. "Dada, nood-noods... eat nood-noods..."
Alerted by the sound, Quadbaby turned his head but saw that his Dada had disappeared. He immediately began to search.
Lin Feng quickly placed the noodle bowl on a high shelf. Sure enough, the whirring sound of a walker was right beside him.
Quadbaby stared at him. Or more precisely, at his mouth.
Lin Feng hastily opened his mouth, his expression clearly saying: Son, look closely. Your dad hasn't eaten a thing!
But Lin Feng had underestimated his son's foodie nature. Quadbaby reached out for a hug, and Lin Feng didn't suspect his motive. Just as he picked him up, Quadbaby plunged a chubby little finger into Lin Feng's mouth with lightning speed.
Lin Feng quickly turned his head away. Damn it, I forgot this little guy can smell things.
He hurriedly opened his mouth again. "See, Quadbaby? Daddy didn't eat anything."
Quadbaby opened his own mouth, then turned his head, spotted the nearby bowl, and lunged for it.
My little glutton! There are still noodles in there.
Lin Feng quickly gave Quadbaby some homemade cookies. Only when both his little hands were full was Quadbaby satisfied.
Of course, he couldn't play favorites. Otherwise, Erbao would protest and try to snatch them! True to his troublemaking nature, it would be strange if Erbao didn't try to grab some cookies upon seeing them.
"Don't snatch, don't snatch! Erbao, you get some too," Lin Feng said quickly, filling each baby's hands with cookies.
While Quadbaby was distracted, Lin Feng stealthily finished the last of his noodles.
Zhang Yuxi was exasperated but amused. "Honey, what are we going to do in the future?"
As first-time parents, they often felt helpless.
Lin Feng thought for a moment. "As long as we keep our wits about us, there will always be more solutions than problems."
Lin Feng washed the dishes while Zhang Yuxi took the babies into the yard to play. Less than half a minute later, she rushed them back inside, accompanied by their whimpering and whining. Quadbaby's sobs were particularly distinct.
Lin Feng hurried over. "What's wrong? Did someone fall?"
Zhang Yuxi was on the verge of tears. "There are mosquitoes outside! The babies are covered in bites."
