In the blink of an eye, a day passed.
In the evening, Lin Feng had dinner with An Lan before driving home. Once there, he washed up and got the babies settled for the night. By the time Lin Feng came out of the bathroom, Zhang Yuxi was already fast asleep. He tucked her in and then went to check if the babies were sleeping soundly.
Da Bao seemed a bit uncomfortable with his shaved head, rubbing it against the pillow. Lin Feng covered it with a small towel, and only then did Da Bao settle down and sleep.
As the babies gradually grew, their cribs were starting to seem too small. It looks like I'll need to find time to widen and raise the cribs soon.
After lying down, Lin Feng suddenly remembered the Weeble-Wobble Skill he had acquired a few days ago. He applied it to the babies, then snuggled up with his wife to sleep.
During the night, Lin Feng was changing the babies' diapers when Si Bao woke up groggily. Lin Feng kissed him. "Go back to sleep, baby!"
Waking up the next day meant a fresh start. Ever since Da Bao had nearly fallen, Lin Feng made sure the babies were within his line of sight, no matter what he was doing. So for lunch today, Lin Feng chose to make a stew or steamed dishes, which only required him to keep an eye on the time.
After lunch, Lin Feng took the babies outside to bask in the sun and get some calcium. He had fenced in the pavilion and spread mats on the floor, making it their midday resting spot. The cat always took this time to sunbathe as well. Lin Feng played with the babies, taking out flashcards to teach them the names of things. In their daily life, he would also tirelessly point things out. "This is a sofa, this is a TV, this is an apple..."
Seeing the babies playing happily, Lin Feng figured he could slip away to the bathroom; he would be back in less than a minute. The babies shouldn't get into any trouble. While in the bathroom, he pulled up the security monitor on his phone. Seeing them all sleeping peacefully, he decided to cut up some fruit for them. In the end, Lin Feng grabbed a banana and a small spoon to scoop out the flesh for the babies.
The pavilion was enclosed by a wall 1.2 meters high, with only a single gate for entry. As Lin Feng walked over, he saw Si Bao climbing over that wall. In fact, he had already successfully made it to the other side. But on this side, there was a sheer drop, and Si Bao's little feet searched in vain for a foothold. His hand slipped, and just as he was about to fall, Lin Feng instantly used the Weeble-Wobble Skill.
Then, as if performing a stunt, Si Bao landed steadily on the ground and grinned at Lin Feng. By now, all the babies could stand on their own for a short while, and Da Bao and Er Bao could even take a few steps.
Lin Feng picked up Si Bao and went to check on the pavilion. Good heavens, Er Bao was starting to follow his brother's example and was about to climb the wall. Lin Feng just stood at the gate, but Er Bao ignored him, continuing his grand escape plan. Apart from the indifferent San Bao, Da Bao also started trying to climb. It was obvious Si Bao must have used a toy to get over, since the others couldn't even reach the top of the fence.
Seeing that their attempts were futile, Lin Feng didn't intervene. Instead, he started scooping banana to feed Si Bao.
Da Bao was the first to give up, pitter-pattering over while holding onto the fence for support.
Lin Feng raised an eyebrow. Quick, aren't you, kiddo!
Si Bao wasn't particularly interested in the banana; he was still trying to figure out how to scale the wall. Er Bao couldn't hold on any longer and followed Da Bao over.
After they finished the banana, Lin Feng stood aside. "Alright, you're all full and energized. Let the show begin!"
Less than a minute later, Si Bao was the first to start again, trying persistently. Er Bao was the type who loved to join in the fun, always heading right to where the action was. As expected, Da Bao was the type to quietly follow the leader. San Bao remained the indifferent one. In short, they were a busy bunch!
Lin Feng was so exasperated he had to laugh, standing aside with his arms crossed as he watched them. Sometimes, you have to put yourself in their shoes. Isn't this just how babies are, slowly growing through exploration?
He watched them, observing each baby. Compared to the others, San Bao was particularly well-behaved and calm. He was content playing with his toys, exploring their mysteries.
Finally, the babies grew tired. Lin Feng took them back inside for a nap. Lying in the play area, Lin Feng slept beside his babies with Fatty curled up next to him. At that moment, sunlight poured in, creating an exceptionally warm and cozy atmosphere.
「Elsewhere.」
After finishing her class, Zhang Yuxi returned to her office and turned on the security monitor. The heartwarming scene made her heart soften.
"Ms. Zhang, what are your plans for the May Day holiday?"
"I'm thinking of taking the babies to the zoo. What about you?"
Teacher Han Wen tilted her head. "I don't know. I just don't want to stay home. My parents will definitely make me go on blind dates again."
Tang Xiufen also had a headache. "It's bound to be crowded on May Day. I'm not sure what to do." There was no helping it; too many people traveled during the holidays, and they didn't want the hassle.
Zhang Yuxi started to say something but ultimately remained silent. After school, Tang Xiufen spoke with her privately for a moment.
"I heard the school is planning to select you for advanced training."
"The timing should be around the end of this semester."
Zhang Yuxi was a bit surprised. "Well, that's not certain, is it?"
Tang Xiufen didn't press the matter. "Whether it's true or not, just keep up the good work!"
Teacher Tang isn't the type to spread baseless rumors, Zhang Yuxi mused. It's almost certainly true. However, she was quite open-minded about it. All she could do was work hard; success or failure shouldn't be taken too seriously.
Time to go home!
That evening, Zhang Yuxi asked Lin Feng about their plans. "What about the long May Day holiday? Why don't we go back home for a visit?"
"Go back home? That's not a bad idea. We could take the waterway, go by yacht." The waterways won't have traffic jams, right? Besides, his parents had been mentioning it for a long time. It was about time for a visit.
"An Lan probably can't make it. I asked her before, but she can join us at the zoo," Lin Feng said. "An Lan is working really hard now, spending most of her time at the shop…"
The couple took turns helping the babies use the potty.
The day after tomorrow was May Day, but school let out in the afternoon. Coincidentally, Zhang Yuxi's afternoon class was canceled. The couple discussed it and decided to go to the zoo tomorrow.
This was the first time either Lin Feng or Zhang Yuxi had been to the Yangcheng Zoo. They decided to arrive early in the morning to avoid the afternoon crowds. They had booked the safari park tickets, priced at 220 yuan, the previous night.
The next morning, after breakfast, they packed their things and set off!
The weather was starting to get warm, but thankfully, the morning was still cool. The quadruplets immediately drew the attention of those around them.
"Wow, look, quadruplets!"
"She's so fertile, that's impressive!"
"The parents are so good-looking. No wonder they have such cute babies."
"I hope the baby I have will be this cute!"
Lin Feng didn't need to pick up tickets; he simply scanned a code to enter. Visiting the zoo for the first time, the couple was filled with curiosity.
An Lan called them. "Where are you guys?"
"Come on in, we're at the entrance!"
When An Lan finally met up with them, she was apologetic. "Sorry, I overslept."
Zhang Yuxi was already used to it and wasn't surprised at all. "It's fine, let's go."
The task of carrying the backpack fell to An Lan. The safari park was genuinely huge, and you could get up close and personal with the animals.
"Look, babies, that's a black swan!"
"It's black, but there are white ones over there, too."
They had the entire day, so they weren't in a rush and could visit every section. An Lan, however, wasn't very interested in the zoo. She had already decided she was going out for drinks tonight. It was a shame her best friend was married now and couldn't go to the bar with her anymore.
