Chapter 1175: Chapter 1175: Heading to the Frontier 5

On the day the triplets turned one month old, Feng Qingxue was discharged from the hospital with the unanimous agreement of Doctor Liao and Doctor Zhang, and went directly to her new home.

Compared to the youngest and the fourth, who had plumped up like white steamed buns after a month, the frail Xiaowo had poor resistance and fell ill every few days, leaving Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue exhausted. Lu Jiang was still fine, able to withstand it all, but Feng Qingxue couldn’t, with her pale, yellowish face and serious deficiency in vital energy. Several doctors ordered her to observe postpartum confinement for at least two months.

Hearing the strong cries of the fourth, Feng Qingxue’s reaction was to pull up her quilt and cover her head.

This life was unbearable!

Tian Ling picked up the fourth child with a smile, while Yang’s mother had already prepared the formula, one bottle for each of the third and fourth. Yang’s mother held the third, who drank the formula quietly without any fuss, while the fourth in Tian Ling’s arms spat out the nipple only to take it again after quite a while and reluctantly began to suckle.

Even though she had been eating well during her confinement, Feng Qingxue’s breast milk was still insufficient, only enough for Xiaowo.

And so, the fourth’s nourishment was unmercifully deprived.

No sooner had Guan Cheng, Lu Tianzhi, and Guan Yu entered than they saw this scene, and then heard Xibao sighing and complaining, "When will it end? Why is brother so annoying? Crying every day."

"Am I better, right?" Fubao also propped up her little chin, frowning and looking distressed.

Lu Tianzhi couldn’t help but say, "How is brother annoying? Xibao, didn’t you want to play with your brother?"

"Ah, brother!" The siblings immediately jumped off their stools and pounced over.

Guan Cheng quickly put down his luggage and caught Fubao in an embrace, "Slow down, slow down, don’t fall over."

Xibao hugged Lu Tianzhi’s waist, "Did brother come to help me take care of them? I don’t want to do it anymore, they’re too naughty. They keep crying, day and night, it’s so annoying! Mom is annoyed too."

As she spoke, she pointed to the kang.

Hearing her nephews’ voices, Feng Qingxue belatedly remembered their arrival and sat up under the quilt, which covered just her waist, and reached out to tidy up her disheveled hair with a headscarf, "You all traveled by train for a long time, you must be tired. Sit down and rest. Help yourselves to anything you want to eat or drink from the cupboard, don’t wait for me to serve you."

Guan Cheng hastily said, "Auntie, please don’t get up. We’re not outsiders, there’s no need for you to go out of your way!"

Feng Qingxue propped her forehead with her hand, "I’ve been driven to a complete muddle lately."

"In the past, with Xibao and then Fubao, there was a gap of two or three years, and they were naturally easy to take care of. Now, with triplets all at once, things have naturally turned out like this. The three of us came to help look after your little brothers and sister, so my uncle and auntie can relax a bit," said Guan Cheng, concernedly looking at Feng Qingxue, and taking her wrist to check her pulse for a moment. His frown deepened, "Auntie, you look very unwell, deficient in qi and blood. You need to recuperate properly. We brought four old hens, and I will slaughter one right away to make soup for you. Do we have dates at home?"

Tian Ling hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, we have big red dates from the Northwest, already prepared by your auntie before she gave birth, stored in the cupboard in a big bag. We’ll add a few to the soup later. Your auntie had a red date and longan porridge this morning."

Guan Cheng nodded, "Thank you, comrade, for taking care of my auntie and my little brothers. Auntie, how should we address the two ladies?"

Feng Qingxue said, "The one talking to you is Tian Ling, and the other one is Mrs. Yang."

"Grandma Yang, Aunt Tian," Guan Cheng automatically gave them a seniority uplift, "With me and my two brothers here, we can take care of laundry and cooking. Grandma Yang and Aunt Tian can have a bit of a break."
