By now, the quadruplets had all started their freshman year of high school. They were able to handle many things on their own.

Even when Sanbao, the third quadruplet, went to Modu, Lin Feng was the one who took her there before flying back to be with Zhang Yuxi.

On their last day at the hospital, after getting the baby's birth certificate, they completed Zhang Yuxi's discharge paperwork. To outsiders, Lin Feng and Zhang Yuxi looked just like new parents, giving the impression that this was their first child. They were just so young!

When people learned this was their second birth, and that their first had been quadruplets who were now in high school, they were shocked. The news shattered so many people's perception of reality that they were left speechless. At the same time, the couple became somewhat famous.

When Zhang Yuxi was discharged, the quadruplets were particularly noticeable among the group of people seeing her off. Even after they left, people were still buzzing with discussion.

The older generation always insists on observing the postpartum confinement period. Luckily, she was discharged at noon, and the sun was shining brightly. Zhang Yuxi wore a knit hat and thick pajamas, and Zhou Cuilan had wrapped her up tightly.

Lin Feng drove home, where the room was already set up, complete with a crib. The maternity matron slept in the adjacent room. Lin Feng was the primary caregiver for the baby, with the matron assisting. After all, he still had Zhang Yuxi and the quadruplets to look after at home. They couldn't neglect the quadruplets just because of the newborn.

The day after Zhang Yuxi gave birth, An Lan came over with her two children, green with envy.

"You know what I was thinking? What if this baby of yours had been a boy?"

"Alright, I admit it. Jealousy is making me ugly."

Zhang Yuxi didn't know whether she should laugh, because An Lan's expression was genuinely tragic.

It wasn't just An Lan who was jealous; Lin Jiajun and Lin Rui were too. They had two sons and often talked about having a third child—a daughter—but never made any real effort. Now that Zhang Yuxi had given birth to her little treasure, they thought it might be worth a try. A life without a daughter was incomplete! It was too much to bear. How wonderful, how heartwarming a daughter would be…

Zhang Yuxi had a natural birth, so she didn't have to lie down all day and could move around. As long as she was careful, she could move around the house freely. Moreover, she was producing more than enough milk for the little treasure.

The maternity matron assisted with general care, while Lin Feng handled the main responsibilities. Zhou Cuilan and the others stayed for two days, then left, planning to return when the child was a month old.

The quadruplets wanted to see their little sister before school and again as soon as they got home. At noon, the children still ate their meals at school, only having breakfast and dinner at home. Lin Feng was concerned about their nutrition, so he prepared balanced breakfasts and dinners. He also carefully prepared all of Zhang Yuxi's postpartum meals, ensuring a different menu every day.

This was the most relaxing job the maternity matron had ever had; she hardly had to do anything herself.

The family's pets, Big White and Fatty, were getting on in years and spent most of their days lying beside the crib. Lin Feng didn't know their exact age. But since the quadruplets were already in high school, the pets couldn't be young either.

"Once the little treasure is a month old, we should take Big White and Fatty for a full check-up," Zhang Yuxi said while eating.

Lin Feng was thinking the same thing. After all, they were old members of the family.

The baby changed with each passing day. The little treasure grew cuter, and her nursing strength increased steadily. She was a good sleeper and didn't mix up her days and nights, so there was no crying after dark. Her eating, sleeping, and even her bowel movements were all healthy. Every day, the maternity matron gave the little treasure a full-body massage. Lin Feng watched and learned, as this type of massage was suitable for babies just a few months old.

THUMP, THUMP, THUMP, THUMP.

The quadruplets were home. Lin Feng had already started making dinner.

"Go wash your hands and change your clothes before you see the little treasure."

Sibao spun the basketball on his finger. "Got it, Dad!"

Lin Feng sighed. "Especially you, Sibao. Can you please take a shower as soon as you get back next time?"

Erbao, standing to the side, looked incredibly moved. Oh my God, he finally said it.

"That's right, Sibao. Take a shower first when you get back," Erbao added. "You exercise a lot, and your sweat might bother Xiaobao."

Sibao sniffed himself. "Really?"

The other four, including Lin Feng, all nodded solemnly.

Sibao just laughed obliviously. "Alright then, I'm off to shower!"

Sibao attended a sports-focused high school and was extremely active. At home, he also loved to play basketball and soccer. In the summer, it wasn't so bad because he showered every day. But now? He was lazy. Yes, Sibao was very lazy these days. His room was the messiest of the four, and his clothes were the dirtiest. They had reminded him about this, but for Sibao, it went in one ear and out the other; he never took it seriously.

They had given up. Besides, they were afraid that if they mentioned it too often, he would think they disliked him. So they had to be tactful. This time, however, Lin Feng was not pleased. This was because when Sibao came home yesterday afternoon, the smell of his sweat had been so strong it overwhelmed Zhang Yuxi, almost suffocating her. Even though he was her own son, she was repulsed.

Lin Feng handled all the laundry and cooking. Cleaning their own rooms was the children's responsibility. Sibao's room was the messiest, followed by Erbao's, then Dabao's, and finally Sanbao's.

At this point, Lin Feng didn't even want to go into Sibao's room. It was such a mess there was nowhere to stand.

After his shower, Sibao came out looking refreshed. "Now can I go see Xiaobao?"

"Go ahead."

Erbao and the others had already seen the baby. She was tiny, not a toy, and she slept nearly twenty-four hours a day. They would say hello and then leave. They wanted to hold her but didn't dare, as she was just too small.

Sibao, however, would chatter away at the crib every day. But it didn't bother Xiaobao's sleep in the slightest. In fact, she slept wonderfully through it all.

After dinner, whoever's turn it was to do the dishes did them without being told. The children returned to their rooms to do their homework. When Lin Feng wasn't busy, he would prepare a fruit platter for them. When he was busy, he'd just wash an apple or some strawberries to bring to them—something simple that didn't require much effort.

The children were all well-behaved and focused on their homework without needing supervision. As for Sibao... well, as a student athlete, the academic standards for him weren't as high.

Sure enough, when Lin Feng went to his room, he found Sibao juggling a soccer ball and humming a tune.

Lin Feng stood at the door, his face expressionless.

Sibao kicked the soccer ball to the side. "Hey, Dad!"

"Have you finished your homework?"

"Not yet! But I'm about to start."

"Can you clean your room?"

"No problem, Dad. I'll start cleaning on Saturday."

"That's what you said last week."

"I did clean it."

"...And you call that cleaning?"

"I think so."

Lin Feng rubbed his forehead and set the fruit down. "If your room stays this messy, you can come downstairs and get your own fruit from now on."

"Also, if your room is too messy, I don't think Xiaobao will want to visit."

"Xiaobao is a little girl, and little girls like things to be clean."

This struck Sibao like a bolt from the blue. "No, that can't be..."

Lin Feng set down the fruit platter. "I'm leaving now. Remember to do your homework and throw your trash in the trash can."
