Zhang Yuxi's expression darkened slightly. However, the children were so happy they didn't notice. Lin Feng, on the other hand, appeared as calm as ever, seemingly oblivious. "Now we're going to buy vegetables and fruits," he said. "Let's get whatever you all want to eat!"

He had always been in charge of the cooking. Although the quadruplets had developed more discerning palates, they weren't particularly picky eaters. Staring at all the vegetables, they had no idea what to buy. They lacked the same enthusiasm they had for buying toys and just looked around aimlessly.

Soon, the little sprite, Si Bao, started up again. "Dad, Mom," Si Bao chimed in. "You two buy whatever you want to eat. We're not picky; we'll eat anything!"

Zhang Yuxi couldn't help but sigh. This child is just too clever these days, her mind works so fast.

Lin Feng bought some vegetables, fruit, and meat. "Alright, is there anything else to get? If not, we can go home."

The quadruplets had already gotten the toys they wanted and had no other requests.

Lin Feng gave Da Bao 300 yuan in cash. "Since you're little adults now, you can pay at the checkout!"

Zhang Yuxi glanced at the three hundred yuan and couldn't help but laugh to herself. The Barbie doll Er Bao had picked out alone cost far more than that!

After waiting in line, it was soon their turn. The four quadruplets were very enthusiastic, taking the items from the cart one by one and placing them on the counter to be scanned.

When Da Bao handed the 300 yuan to the cashier, the woman's smile faltered. If it weren't for the adorable children and their stunningly attractive parents, her expression probably would have been much worse. With a strained smile, the cashier said, "Little fella, 300 yuan isn't enough!"

The four of them froze on the spot.

"Dad, the money you gave us isn't enough!" Da Bao cried out.

Lin Feng feigned surprise. "But that's all the money Dad has right now!"

Zhang Yuxi chimed in, "We said we were coming to buy groceries, not toys. You bought so many toys all at once, so of course it's not enough! How about this? Each of you can only keep one toy. Then we'll have enough money!"

The quadruplets were very hesitant, finding it hard to part with their new toys. Just as Er Bao was about to say something, Lin Feng cut in. "We definitely have to buy these vegetables. Otherwise, what will we eat today and tomorrow? Are our little tummies going to go hungry? You all already have plenty of toys, so it's okay to buy a few less this time!"

Ultimately, persuaded by their parents, each of the quadruplets chose to keep just one of their favorite toys. While they weren't looking, Lin Feng discreetly paid with his phone.

On the way back, the quadruplets were a little bit down. But since each of them got to keep their absolute favorite toy, that little bit of unhappiness quickly vanished.

In the evening, Lin Feng was in the kitchen preparing dinner while the quadruplets went with their mother to take Da Bai for a walk nearby. Lin Feng had built a doghouse in the garden and had even made a special toilet area for the dog. Every evening, they would take Da Bai for a walk around the villa complex, always bringing a black plastic bag and a small shovel. That way, if Da Bai did his business outside, they could scoop it into the bag and dispose of it properly. Da Bai was very well-behaved and incredibly perceptive, and he got along wonderfully with the children. Their route was almost always the same, a circuit that took about forty minutes to complete. By the time they returned from their walk, dinner was ready.

After dinner, it was time for stories. "How about this," Zhang Yuxi suggested. "Each of you can tell Mom a story, okay? It can be one I've told you before, or you can use your imagination and make one up!"

At her words, the quadruplets were all eager to give it a try.

Da Bao went first. His story was about Transformers battling cosmic monsters. He acted it out with his whole body, his exaggerated expressions and gestures making it impossible not to laugh. Since it was her own son telling the story, she had to show her support, showering him with effusive praise.

Er Bao told a story about a mermaid. Her version, however, took a unique path with a cunning and sharp perspective. The mermaid in Er Bao's tale was essentially a Cinderella-mermaid hybrid. The gist of it was that the mermaid was born into a poor family and was disliked and often bullied by her stepsisters. Later, with her beauty, she became the queen of the Merman Kingdom.

Zhang Yuxi was a bit surprised; Er Bao was quite imaginative.

Next up was San Bao. "There was a Little Red Riding Hood who went to bring food to her grandmother in the forest. But when she got there, she found out that her grandmother had been eaten by the Big Bad Wolf. The Big Bad Wolf wanted to eat Little Red Riding Hood, too, so she fought back bravely, rescued her grandmother from the wolf's belly, and the two of them hugged and cried with joy."

Spoken just like San Bao—he finished the story in just a few sentences.

Then came Si Bao, who told a story about Ultraman battling space monsters!

All the children did a wonderful job.

"You all did a great job!" Zhang Yuxi said with a smile. "Alright, let's go to sleep!"

The quadruplets must have been exhausted. They hadn't been in bed for long before they all started snoring softly. Looking at their little faces, Lin Feng felt a surge of pride. His children were so well-behaved and sensible; they were truly exceptional little darlings.

「The next day.」

It was another day for the quadruplets to be in charge. Compared to their excitement from the day before, they felt a bit tired today.

The role of 'mom' was a relatively relaxed one for Erbao and Sanbao. They played the part of their vacationing mother, Zhang Yuxi, perfectly. Aside from washing dishes and occasionally helping with housework, they spent most of their time playing with their 'babies.'

Just then, Erbao and Sanbao were lying on the sofa, playing with their Barbie dolls. What to do when you want a snack? Erbao had a flash of inspiration. "Husband, do we have any fruit? I want some fruit!"

Her words shocked the room.

Zhang Yuxi was reading a book and writing lesson plans, while Lin Feng was playing with the children. Instantly, all eyes snapped towards Erbao.

Erbao found it hilarious and giggled, "Husband, do we have any fruit?"

Lin Feng was speechless.

Zhang Yuxi was speechless.

Da Bao and Si Bao, who were playing the 'dads,' were also speechless.

Si Bao was the first to react. "Are they calling us?" Si Bao asked Da Bao. "We're the 'dads' now."

"I think so!" Da Bao realized.

The diligent Si Bao turned to Lin Feng and asked, "What fruit do we have?"

Lin Feng blinked. "We have mandarins and strawberries!" He stood up. "I'll go wash them."

The strawberries needed to be soaked in salt water and washed carefully before they could be eaten. The mandarins were a gift from Jiang Ming, brought from his hometown. They didn't look pretty, but they were sweet and juicy, and the whole family loved them. Since they needed to be cut into pieces, the dusty mandarins had to be washed first.

Lin Feng finished slicing the mandarins and washing the strawberries and brought them out on a plate.

Erbao grinned, perfectly imitating Zhang Yuxi's tone. "Thank you, darling!"
