The third day proceeded just like the others.
Zhang Yuxi had left on the afternoon of the second day. Little Treasure, oblivious to everything, was still waving goodbye to her mother. Zhang Yuxi hugged her again and again, clearly reluctant to let go. She had declined several work trips from her school before, knowing that Little Treasure couldn't bear to be without her. There were still the four older children at home needing care. This time, however, there was no way to decline.
Upon returning from this study trip, she would be promoted to vice principal. Barring any surprises, she would become principal within a year. The timing coincided perfectly with weaning Little Treasure.
Meanwhile, the children had officially started their holiday.
That evening, Operation Wean began!
When Little Treasure wasn't nursing, she barely thought of Zhang Yuxi. With four older siblings at home to play with, her attention was easily diverted. Everything was normal until it was time for her to sleep.
Only then did she remember she had a mother. She looked everywhere for Zhang Yuxi, and when she couldn't find her, she started crawling around to search. By now, nothing the older children tried could distract Little Treasure. She wanted her food; she wanted her mommy!
Seeing Little Treasure so persistent, the children were both moved and heartbroken. They carried her and pretended to look for Zhang Yuxi.
Fourth Treasure said, "That feeling from the other night is back..."
The memory of being overwhelmed by Little Treasure's crying once again filled the children with dread. The manor was huge. After searching everywhere for half an hour, Little Treasure finally broke down. Calling for her mommy, she began to cry her heart out. Even Xing Yun couldn't help but start crying too.
The others felt terrible too and could only try various tricks to cheer Little Treasure up. But she paid them no mind; she just wanted her mommy and her milk.
Lin Feng sighed. "Let me try."
He took Little Treasure from Xing Yun's arms, comforting her and trying to feed her formula. Little Treasure slapped the bottle away and continued to cry. She cried until she was drenched in sweat, her hair damp and matted, and she started hiccuping from her sobs. The family tried to comfort her, using every method they could think of to distract her.
Finally, exhausted from crying, Little Treasure fell asleep.
Lin Feng changed her into a set of clean pajamas. "You all go to sleep now."
The older children were worried, as Little Treasure had cried so hard. "Dad, let's just sleep here tonight."
Lin Feng knew there would be another round in the middle of the night, so he nodded. Little Treasure alone was more of a handful than all four of her siblings combined had been when they were young; he was starting to feel overwhelmed.
Sure enough, in the middle of the night, Little Treasure woke up crying again when she couldn't find her milk.
It was then that Fourth Treasure suggested, "What if we get a steamed bun, stick the bottle inside, and try to fake it?"
Princess nodded. "That could work. The disguise would be perfect."
Xing Yun said, "I have something that looks like a steamed bun! I'll go get it."
But Prince kept a clear head. "Our main goal is to wean her. What's the point of doing this?"
His words were a reality check for the others.
That's right, this is Operation Wean... If we let her get her milk fix, what's the point?
Seeing Little Treasure wailing until her voice was nearly hoarse, the older children felt terribly sad. Lin Feng kissed Little Treasure's forehead to soothe her, then carried her downstairs to the living room to continue comforting her. Little Treasure cried and cried on her father's shoulder, while her siblings followed close behind, still trying to make her laugh.
Finally, Little Treasure cried herself to sleep for the second time. Lin Feng checked the time.
Barring any surprises, she should sleep until morning. Then, come dawn, we'll have another battle.
He told the children to go to sleep, explaining that the first two or three days were the hardest and they just had to persevere. After Little Treasure was asleep, Lin Feng picked up his phone. He saw he had many missed calls and WeChat messages, all about Little Treasure. Zhang Yuxi was probably asleep by now, so Lin Feng sent her a message telling her everything was fine. Putting down the phone, he looked at Little Treasure's small face, still streaked with tears, and felt a pang of both heartache and helplessness.
「The next morning.」
Little Treasure woke up and started throwing a tantrum again, crying because she couldn't find Zhang Yuxi or get her milk. Thankfully, Lin Feng had prepared some baby food. To try and cheer her up, he had even prepared a slice of cantaloupe.
Little Treasure cried, and Lin Feng comforted her. When the older children came downstairs, they saw their father carrying Little Treasure, pacing helplessly around the room. They immediately joined the team trying to soothe her.
But Little Treasure was stubborn. She refused to eat or drink and just kept crying, which broke their hearts.
Xing Yun suggested, "Dad, why don't we take her out somewhere? It might distract her."
Lin Feng smacked his forehead.
Of course! Why didn't I think of that?
They quickly gathered everything they needed for an outing. Fourth Treasure put on the baby carrier, and they put a sun hat on Little Treasure. Once ready, they carried the whimpering Little Treasure out the door.
Sure enough, the bustling world outside captured her attention. She only let out a few sobs when she occasionally remembered her troubles.
The group went to the zoo.
Lin Feng held Little Treasure while they looked at the animals, and Xing Yun coaxed her into eating some baby food. The porridge was packed with extra nutrients to make sure she was well-fed.
Lin Feng cooed, "Look, wow, that's an elephant! Isn't it big?"
While Little Treasure was distracted, Xing Yun quickly spoon-fed her a bite. Before long, she had eaten more than half of the porridge in the insulated food jar, leaving the rest for the afternoon. They would have some fruit later. Once Little Treasure had finished eating, Lin Feng's help was barely needed, as the older siblings took turns carrying her.
Bystanders couldn't help but stare in envy. A pretty young woman approached Fourth Treasure. "Um, can I ask, are you all this little baby's older brothers and sisters?"
Fourth Treasure grinned. "We are!"
Holy crap, everyone thought. Did this little girl save the Milky Way in her past life? To have such gorgeous older brothers and sisters... she's so blessed!
The Lin family's good looks were undeniable, but now people's attention was drawn not only to them but also to Little Treasure. Since the three-child policy had been introduced, many families had younger babies, sometimes with a ten or even twenty-year age gap between the oldest and youngest siblings. Such sights were no longer uncommon. Some people were envious of these situations, while others didn't see the point; everyone had their own opinion.
Can you imagine the scene? A tiny baby surrounded by four stunningly attractive siblings, each with their own distinct style. The two young men were both tall and slim, around 1.8 meters. One was mature and composed, like a refined prince. The other was tall and handsome, the very picture of a sunny, cheerful boy. The two young women were breathtakingly beautiful. One was elegant and graceful, looking every bit the gentle princess. The other had a bright, hearty smile, exuding a cool and confident aura.
The way they looked at the baby was overflowing with tenderness. Honestly, who wouldn't want to be that baby? It was like a scene from a novel brought to life! Having just one brother or sister like that would be a blessing. But to have four of them at once!!!
Someone snapped a photo and posted it to their Moments.
