It was twelve o'clock noon when the bell signaling the end of school rang.

"Jie, what's with you today?"

"It feels like I've cleared my governor and conception vessels or something."

Lin Jie thought for a moment. "I don't know, either. Maybe it was the milk tea my brother gave me."

The three of them were astounded.

"Jie, are you sure you understand what milk tea is?"

"You know, milk tea might really have that effect. Haven't you seen how much those girls love drinking it?"

"Yeah, yeah! I've noticed that all the top female students seem to love drinking milk tea!"

"But... that's just too unbelievable, right? Should we go buy some and try it?"

The four of them stood on the side of the street, gulping down their milk teas.

Lin Jie felt nothing, and needless to say, neither did the others. They had to admit, however, that the milk tea was delicious. No wonder it was so popular.

The group decided to wait and see what would happen in the afternoon.

At this time of year for high school seniors, the most parents could do was stay at home, stewing soups or chickens without disturbing them. Many parents even rented apartments near the school to deliver meals every day, ensuring their children could replenish their energy with proper nutrition. This way, their studies wouldn't interfere with their growth.

When Zhou Cuilan returned home, Lin Feng was already up and busy stewing a chicken in the kitchen.

This time, Lin Feng had brought back five free-range chickens and one free-range duck, all of which had been gifts from Liu Bo.

By the time Zhou Cuilan returned, Lin Feng had already blanched the chicken and was getting the clay pot ready to stew it.

Zhou Cuilan felt touched as she watched him make all of Lin Jie's favorite dishes.

"Let me take over," she offered. "The kids are probably waking up about now."

In reality, there wasn't much left to prepare. The chicken was already stewing in the pot, the rice was steaming, and the vegetables had all been chopped. By the time the chicken soup was ready, it would be nearly noon.

"Mom, just keep an eye on the flame. After half an hour, add the side dishes to the clay pot."

"Alright, I'll remember."

Lin Feng went upstairs. Zhang Yuxi was already awake and changing the quadruplets' diapers.

Lin Feng prepared some hot water and set it aside, then went to dress First Treasure. The morning was still chilly, so after putting on the babies' outerwear, he added a vest for another layer. One shouldn't assume that babies feel the cold less than adults just because they're small. In fact, a baby's inner vitality is even more vigorous than an adult's.

After First Treasure had been cleaned up, Lin Feng flipped him over onto his lap, wiped his bottom, and put on a fresh diaper. He was a sweet-smelling little baby once more.

By the time all four babies were settled, an hour had passed.

The kitchen was filled with the fragrant aroma of stewing chicken.

Lin Dashan, who had just woken up, exclaimed, "Wow, that smells amazing!"

"Your son's friend gave us these free-range chickens. He gave us five of them," Zhou Cuilan said. "I'm going to call your third sister-in-law and tell her to come get one when she's free. Wang Lu could use it to build up her strength."

Lin Dashan nodded. "It's not easy to raise free-range chickens these days. That friend of his is very considerate. It was Liu Bo, right?"

Zhou Cuilan nodded. "Are you busy today? You should spend some time with your son; they only come home once every few months."

"I am," Lin Dashan replied, eating his breakfast. "I have to go discuss a business deal. I'll spend time with them tonight."

"Besides, isn't Lin Feng taking the babies to their early education class today?"

"And you're here, aren't you?"

Zhou Cuilan rolled her eyes. "What about me? Jie's college entrance exam is in a month. Don't I have to take care of him?"

Seeing that Zhou Cuilan was annoyed, Lin Dashan quickly smiled apologetically.

"Alright, alright. Tomorrow, I won't do anything else. I'll just spend time with them, okay?"

Zhou Cuilan nodded, finally satisfied.

Lin Feng and Zhang Yuxi came downstairs, carrying the babies.

Zhou Cuilan hesitated for a moment before asking, "Should we call Wen Wen down for breakfast?"

Zhang Yuxi smiled. "I asked her when I came down. She said she wanted to sleep a little longer."

"Okay then."

Lin Feng quickly finished his breakfast and began to feed the babies their solid food. He planned to bake cookies for them later as a small snack.

After breakfast, Lin Feng asked Zhang Yuxi to watch the babies while he got busy in the kitchen. Zhou Cuilan stood by, looking for anything she could help with.

Lin Feng made two types of cookies for the babies: one was a sugar-free milk flavor, and the other was vegetable-flavored. Zhou Cuilan marveled at his cooking skills. Lin Feng also baked some small, lightly sweet milk-bread rolls for Lin Jie that weren't greasy at all. He even made a fruit salad for him, packed neatly in a small box.

Lin Feng handled these tasks all by himself, leaving Zhou Cuilan with nothing to do. So, she went to join Zhang Yuxi in watching her grandchildren. Several hours passed in the blink of an eye, and soon it was time to prepare lunch.

Lin Feng gave the small cookies to the babies. They were very appreciative and ate every last one.

Fourth Treasure, a true little foodie, cried out for more.

"Mommy, eat, eat..." he babbled, pointing at himself to show he wanted more.

Zhang Yuxi asked, "Who wants to eat? Fourth Treasure?"

Fourth Treasure pointed at himself again. "Eat, eat, Mommy..."

Then he pointed at the busy Lin Feng in the kitchen. "Daddy, Daddy has..."

Zhang Yuxi was torn between laughter and tears. "Alright then, let's go find Daddy."

She carried Fourth Treasure over to Lin Feng, who glanced at them. He had heard their entire conversation loud and clear.

Fourth Treasure leaned over, signaling for Lin Feng to hold him. "Daddy, Daddy, hold, hold!"

Lin Feng dried his hands and took Fourth Treasure into his arms. "What brings Fourth Treasure over here? Did you miss Daddy?"

Fourth Treasure likely forgot he was hungry as he stared at the dishes in the pot with wide-eyed wonder.

Just then, Second Treasure toddled over. She always trailed after Fourth Treasure like a loyal follower. Moreover, Second Treasure insisted on walking by herself; she didn't want Zhou Cuilan or Zhang Yuxi to carry her. Zhang Yuxi could only follow her, hovering a hand protectively behind her.

"Honey, we need to buy a baby walker."

Lin Feng turned off the stove and shifted Fourth Treasure in his arms. "We'll buy one after their early education class today."

Fourth Treasure snapped out of it and remembered that he wanted to eat.

"Daddy, eat, eat..."

Lin Feng smiled. "Eat what? Cookies?"

Fourth Treasure nodded eagerly.

Lin Feng took a cookie from a sealed container and gave it to Fourth Treasure, who was overjoyed.

Suddenly, Second Treasure let out a loud shout. "Daddy!"

The volume of her voice startled everyone.

"Eat, cookies! Want!"

Her demanding tone was quite impressive.

Lin Feng gave some to Second Treasure; of course, he couldn't show favoritism.

When they turned around, First Treasure had also toddled over. Leaning against the wall, he looked at Lin Feng pitifully. "Daddy..."

As for Third Treasure, she simply stood in the playpen, looking perfectly content and not competing for attention.
