Zhou Yu was observing the triplets, "Mom, even the healthy ones were so hard to tell apart back then, how did you guys figure it out?"
"Just try your best! I've never seen a mother like you. You always can't tell your children apart. If it weren't for the two children's different personalities and temperaments later on, you still wouldn't be able to tell them apart."
"Who can still pull their ears and look for moles every day?"
Zhou's mother looked up at the sky in silence. Is this girl's heart honest?
Babies have short intestines and digest food quickly. Soon all three of them urinated, and then wanted to eat again. Even adjusting their diapers couldn't stop them from crying.
Zhou Yu became anxious and his hands became slower. Mother Zhou changed the two big diapers and gave the second child to Zhou Xiang to feed first, then came over to take over the work of the eldest daughter.
"Oh! I'm counting on you to help me. It's already dawn."
Zhou Yu released the two little feet in his hands and said, "I haven't done that for a long time. I won't do it again."
"How long? Yuanyuan is only a little over a year old, so it's only been a year."
Zhou Yu stepped back and made room, "When Yuanyuan was here, you almost never let me do it!"
"That's why I feed you so much that you become fatter and fatter."
"Mom, could you please not prick me where it hurts?"
"Okay, starting tomorrow you can help at home, so you don't have to come. I think it would be better to bring Xu Tong's wife with me instead of you!"
As she spoke, Zhou's mother finished her work and placed the two crying puppies next to her little girl. "Alright, don't feed them too much. I'll give them some milk powder, otherwise one of them won't be able to eat."
Zhou Yu quickly prepared the milk powder, which she knew how to do.
The food was forcibly taken away, and the second one started crying again. The three of them cried together, which was really a headache.
After picking up his daughters and feeding them, Zhou wanted to ask his second sister to help pick up the eldest daughter and let her eat the left one. This calmed both of them down, and the only sound left in the room was the second daughter's aggrieved crying. Perhaps because he had no company, he stopped crying.
With the pacifier to soothe the baby, the room finally became quiet and Zhou Xiang breathed a sigh of relief.
After the three of them fell asleep quietly, Zhou Xiang also hurried to eat. If she didn't eat hard, she would soon be unable to keep up with the appetite of the three babies.
Ling Ran and Dong Yunrong came back after dinner. Mother Zhou took two thermos buckets home and said, "I'll go back and heat up the soup and bring it back."
Ling Ran quickly followed, "Mom, please don't come. Just the two of you can keep watch at night. I'll go back and get the soup."
"Alright! I'll continue to make the soup at home. This soup needs to keep up as well."
After Ling Ran came back with the soup, the three little guys woke up again. Zhou Xiang thought of the time when Jiankangkang was fed well water by her and slept for five or six hours. She decided to do the same, otherwise she would not be able to sleep all night.
When wiping, she even wiped her fingers carefully, and while stroking the child's face, she dripped well water into the child's mouth. The upgraded well water should last longer than the initial one, right?
It was really long, from 9pm to 4am, that's seven hours! Their grandmother was so happy that she kept praising the grandchildren for being well-behaved and caring about their parents, which allowed them to have a good sleep.
Ling Ran didn't believe it, so he secretly asked his wife while his mother went to get hot water.
Zhou Xiang quickly told him about the previous experiment he had done with Jian Jian Kang.
Ling Ran thought of Yuanyuan's cleverness and said, "The essence-nourishing liquid is better. It will be more convenient when we get home. You can secretly give them some essence-nourishing liquid!"
Zhou Xiang nodded. "Let's go back and try which one works best. We need to let them get more sleep. Jiankangkang may not be as smart as Yuanyuan, but he's not bad at studying. Yuanyuan hasn't started school yet, so I don't know how she'll fare."
"Then use both."
"Okay! Go to the county supermarket later and buy two boxes of size S diapers. Use them at night. If you sleep through the night, you don't have to worry about the mattress."
"Yes! I'll go at eight o'clock."
Dong Yunrong brought some hot water, wiped the three babies' butts, applied some talcum powder on them, and then placed them next to her daughter-in-law one by one, because the three babies next to their mother only hummed but did not cry.
This time, Zhou Xiang decided to feed the second child first. She only fed him half full yesterday, but this morning her milk supply was plenty and should be enough for three children.
She asked Ling Ran to help feed her daughter, and Dong Yunrong could only coax the whining eldest daughter.
The second child and the daughter were full, but the eldest child had eaten two sides and was still a little short. Dong Yunrong quickly used the boiling water that had been left to cool, filled half the bottle with milk, and fed the eldest child.
The morning passed like a battle, and Dong Yunrong sighed. "Oh! Back then, I envied your two sisters so much when I went to see them every day. Now, I can really understand how hard it was."
Zhou Xiang was drinking soup from a bowl when he heard this and paused. "Mom, how about I be discharged from the hospital right now? It's convenient at home and there are plenty of people to help me. I'm in good health too and don't need injections or medication. There's no need for me to be hospitalized."
Dong Yunrong looked at her son, and Ling Ran nodded, "I'll ask the doctor. If the doctor says it's okay, we can discharge him. It will be more convenient at home."
"Well! Go and ask," Zhou Xiang urged him.
Ling Ran came back soon, "The doctor said you can be discharged from the hospital. He said your physical condition is very good."
"Then, hurry up and go through the discharge procedures."
At this moment, Zhou's mother came in carrying a thermos bucket. Upon hearing this, she asked, "Do you think you can be discharged from the hospital?"
"Yes, the doctor said it's okay."
"Great! It's more convenient to go home. Not to mention the trip back and forth to deliver soup, there's no place to hang the baby's diapers after washing them!"
Dong Yunrong took the thermos and poured the soup. "I didn't even have time to wash it! The mattress on the bed is also wet. The three children slept for seven hours in one night."
Dong Yunrong's tone was proud, but Zhou's mother looked at her little girl. When she was healthy as a child, she could sleep for a long time in her arms. She didn't understand it before, and she doesn't understand it now, but she has a guess.
However, Jiankang, Kangkang, Yuanyuan and all three children are very smart, which proves that the younger daughter's method is effective. The only thing is that the older daughter must never know that the younger daughter always uses her and her children for experiments.
Zhou Xiang smiled at her mother, and her mother smiled back, hoping her in-laws would think her grandson was well-behaved. "Then take everything home and wash and dry it. Ling Ran, go get the paperwork done quickly. Then call home and tell them not to come to the hospital. Ask Lu Zhaochong to drive over to pick them up."
"Okay! I'll go right away."
Zhou Xiang gave birth to two sons and a daughter. The four of them were safe and sound. Some people blessed them, while others cursed them secretly.
No matter what they thought, when they saw the Zhou and Ling families, they all smiled and congratulated them.
Naturally, the news reached the capital. Since the old leader could not come, they could only ask Professor Chu, who had already retired, to bring a gift.
Many people were jealous of the attention paid by the higher-ups to the Zhou family in Huaixian Town. However, once they learned about the details of the Zhou family in Town, they could only suppress their feelings secretly.
Ding Fengqin, in particular, used to feel sorry for the Zhou family, but now that Zhou wanted to single-handedly elevate the Zhou family above the Jiang family, she felt uncomfortable. Her husband's increasingly energetic appearance made her sigh in front of the mirror that the saying "time is unforgiving" seemed like a joke.
Looking at the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes in the mirror, and then at the teacup in front of her husband, she couldn't help but say, "Xing'an, can I have some of that fruit tea? Just a little, Zhou Xiang won't know."
