Chapter 1209: Chapter 1209 Seeking Medical Advice 2

Tian Ling still had a bit of a secret hope, which was to bask in the joy of a group of children.

Upon hearing the good news of Bai Xue’s pregnancy, Tian Ling, who had been infertile for many years after the death of her child, felt a surge of hope.

She originally wanted to ask Feng Qingxue to take her pulse and check where the problem might be, to see if it could be adjusted so she could conceive a child, but when Zhuangzhuang was hospitalized and then Feng Qingxue fell ill herself, she did not mention it.

Whether it was a boy or a girl, she would treasure it just the same after it was born.

She could certainly seek others. The military had gynecologists; for instance, Wang Sanbao and Guo Xiuying were easy to talk to, but she was afraid of becoming the laughing stock if people found out, especially since she was already forty years old.

Now, Zhuangzhuang’s condition was improving day by day, and Feng Qingxue’s health was gradually recovering. As soon as she returned, Tian Ling would ask her to take her pulse.

With this thought in mind, Tian Ling, carrying the triplets’ birth certificates, walked briskly to the service center and cheerfully called out to the soldier selling goods, "Comrade Liu, do we have any baby formula today? There should be some, right? There are quite a few newborns this year. Get me three...no, four bags of formula, and two of those bags must be Feihe."

Dundun was easy to take care of, but Xiongxiong, that little ancestor, would drink nothing but Feihe.

Among the triplets, Dundun was always the easiest to care for, and Zhuangzhuang was always the most worrisome. Xiongxiong, the one in the middle, probably fearing being overlooked, thus became the most difficult baby to attend to.

This was Feng Qingxue’s own words. At the time she spoke, Xiongxiong was lying on the kang, drooling.

Xiaoliu did not even glance at the birth certificate; she took out four bags of Feihe formula, chuckled, and said, "Only Feihe. I know it’s for the sister-in-law from General Lu’s family. You don’t need to bring the birth certificate next time."

"No, I can’t do that. That’s the rule; having it gives you priority in purchasing." When there was a shortage of formula, the birth certificate really came in handy.

"Yes, yes, the sister-in-law is right!" Xiaoliu nodded quickly, accepted thirteen yuan, and was about to say something else when she saw Jiu Laidi coming in and abruptly changed what she was going to say, greeting instead, "Is Sister Jiu here to buy formula for Laidi?"

If I remember correctly, Jiu Hong and Jiu Laidi’s third daughter, Laidi, was five or six days younger than the triplets, and it was time for her to drink formula.

Jiu Hong would come to buy formula at the beginning of each month when he received his pay, so when Xiaoliu saw Jiu Laidi, she naturally assumed she was there to buy formula. Considering the days, the two bags from last month should have been finished by now and certainly would not have been enough.

Following the pattern, Jiu Hong should have come at the start of the month, but Xiaoliu hadn’t seen him, and now it was mid-April.

Although Xiaoliu was not clear on how much formula a child needed each month, she got an idea from the frequency and quantity of Tian Ling’s purchases; last month, she bought a total of twelve bags of formula, and today was her second time this month, getting four more bags. Everyone knew Zhuangzhuang didn’t drink formula, so Tian Ling’s purchase was definitely meant for two.

Guo Xiuying, who couldn’t stand Tian Ling and got angry just at the sight of her, heard Xiaoliu’s words and snapped, "Do I look like I’m buying formula? Who told me I’m not capable? All I have are money-losers, what formula would they drink! Give me a pound of soy sauce!"

She slammed the soy sauce bottle down on the counter, making a crisp clinking sound.

"Sorry, sorry, Sister Jiu, my mistake!" Xiaoliu immediately admitted her error and quickly grabbed the soy sauce ladle hanging on the edge of the soy sauce barrel, scooped up a full ladle of soy sauce, and poured it into the soy sauce bottle brought by Guo Xiuying, "Eight cents."

Guo Xiuying picked up the soy sauce bottle and turned around to leave.
