Chapter 550: Adults Must Eat Too!
***AUTHOR NOTE AT END: HIATUS IN DECEMBER 2024!!!***
Neither child was a finicky eater. Xu Feng was glad he’d taken the few cans of formula that hadn’t expired. According to Feng Yujie, the formula that was a bit past the expiration date was still usable, and there were more in larger shops, but at the time, he didn’t want to risk it.
Watching as the two boys guzzled the milk that seemed to be flowing too slowly for their liking was almost hypnotizing. Maybe he should have taken a few more risks.
The formula even with a portion and a half mixed in the bottles wasn’t enough. The single container of apple sauce had to make an appearance.
Da Long still seemed like he wasn’t 100 percent full, but both Xu Feng and Lee Hua didn’t think it was wise to feed him more. With a little bit of distraction, Da Long seemed to accept that breakfast—well, second breakfast—was over.
As Xu San’s hand rubbed her belly discreetly, Xu Feng became aware of his own hunger. It was time for the adults to eat.
Lee Hua’s hands were indecisive. He seemed to want to take the two babies but then decided to leave them temporarily.
It was time for the residents to wake up. Both young and old, dogs and livestock, the bustling period had come.
"My children—" He seemed to be making an excuse, or maybe in his own ears, his words felt like an excuse. Either way, that wasn’t Xu Feng’s thought. Even before he had children, he was a landlord who was understanding!
Xu Feng quirked his lips up gently with a tinge of mischief from his own secret thoughts. "Xiao An and Xiao Mo should be awake now, no?"
Lee Hua nodded like a chicken pecking the ground. "Don’t feel burdened. You don’t need to remain here. Please bring the little ones over for breakfast I haven’t seen them in so long. It should be ready shortly, the girls and I will start cooking now."
Xu Feng understood the midwife likely had a morning routine at this point. Da Long and Xiao Long were important and needed at least one adult who knew what they were doing, but they were all novices in some way.
They would need to work together to come up with new routines and ways to care for the boys. And with all Xu Feng’s planning, he hadn’t left Lee Hua out.
"I’ll rely on you to help with the children. I am not fit to be a parent, but I will try my hardest to soak up all the wisdom you have to share." Xu Feng offered as a quick show of respect to the other ger.
Someone who understood children was worthy of respect. He didn’t have much contact with children in the past, but now he had two, and guidance was a necessity.
There weren’t any elders at home, so Lee Hua was a small treasure in their Nanshan Estate.
The small treasure’s face reddened visibly. He seemed to want to hide his face and run away, but he couldn’t just stay silent when the master of the household was praising him so openly.
"Thank you, Master Feng." Lee Hua rubbed Xiao Long’s back as he mustered up his courage to say what his heart truly felt. "We missed you. I missed you. Nanshan hasn’t been the same without you."
His children were likely awake, and their wandering around had been forbidden by Brother Min in the last few days. Lee Hua bowed his head quickly and attempted to get out of Xu Feng’s eye-line as swiftly as possible.
With a mission to retrieve Lee Mo and Lee An, the ger scurried away, but not before glancing back at Xu Feng several times. From there, he also didn’t hesitate to pick up the pile of laundry in the corner of the hall outside of Xu Feng’s rooms.
The soiled clothes, strange or not, needed to be cleaned up. Before leaving Blooming Courtyard, he thought about the three adults and two babies.
...
Yes, there were three able-bodied people left to cook, but two had babies, so there was maybe just one able-bodied person who was severely affected by the cuteness of the two new babies.
Xu Si didn’t want to put Xiao Long down, but watching Xu San and Xu Feng preparing to make breakfast without her was also troubling. In the end, she was going to head back to her room to retrieve a thick blanket when she noticed two large cushions outside the kitchen.
The girl smiled brightly. Lee Hua was very thoughtful, and caring for the young masters would be much smoother with him around.
Xu Si still retrieved the blanket from her room, but it was just a second measure against the cold. With Xu San’s help, setting up a cozy corner in the kitchen was done swiftly.
There were the large cushions layered with the warm blanket on top, and now, there were two round young masters sitting on them with some interesting cloth toys laid out for them to play with.
Xu Si was awed by Xu Feng again and again. There was always something new to see and learn when he was around, and the two cloth toys in addition to the chick and duckling young masters was a bright scene.
She had made toys for the children before, it may not compare to the ones Xu Feng brought for his sons, but she would still retrieve them later. More toys were good!
With the children settled Xu Feng’s eyes shone as he looked over his kitchen. He really was home!
The kitchen was clearly well-used and cleaned in his absence, but in the same way, his room felt empty, and so did the kitchen. He almost wanted to cook in the outside kitchen, but that required them to move the boys and their little sitting area.
He was home, and that was all that mattered. That and food. He didn’t need his stomach to continue singing like Xiao Long’s.
