"Mom, make some formula for my little sister," Wen Muxue said.
Xiao Biyun said, "What a waste of all the good food I was given, I still don't have any breast milk."
"It's okay, Mom. It's the same if you drink formula even if you don't have breast milk."
“This milk powder is hard to get. A bag will be gone in a few days, and we can’t supply it at all.”
The young couple wanted to say there was absolutely no need to worry, as there was plenty of milk powder in their space. However, the source of this milk powder was impossible to explain. A small quantity could be attributed to some effort in obtaining it. But if someone drank it every day, at every meal, even an old revolutionary like Grandpa Yu couldn't supply enough.
The triplets have been drinking milk for over a year, and the couple has been doing it secretly. But the youngest sister isn't their child, and it would be troublesome for them to secretly feed her milk while she's living with her parents.
Lu Yuan thought for a moment and said, "I'll go up the mountain later and bring back a wild ewe."
My little sister is too young to have breast milk, and it's not realistic for her to keep drinking formula. When the time comes, we'll go up the mountain and bring back a wild ewe from our space.
“That’s a good idea. Fresh goat milk is nutritious too,” Gao Weishan said.
"I'll go up the mountain with you."
Lu Yuan quickly refused, "Come on, I'm already too old for that. If you come up the mountain with me, I'll have to take care of you."
"Hey, how come I'm so old? Didn't you see my daughter was just born?" Gao Weishan retorted.
"Okay, you're not that old, you're only a father of two. I'm the one who's old, I'm a father of three."
"You brat, stop arguing with me." Gao Weishan was both amused and exasperated.
After joking around for a while, Gao Weishan finally remembered the triplets.
"What about Da Bao, Er Bao, and San Bao?"
“He’s sleeping inside,” Lu Yuan replied.
"The three kids are sleeping more and more; they spend most of their time sleeping all day long."
The couple exchanged a smile. They weren't sleeping inside; everyone was just too busy to look after the children, so they put them in the space and left them with the pets.
They had already told their family members that they couldn't come into the room to disturb the child while he was sleeping.
Before they couldn't walk, Grandpa Liu could help take care of them. Now that the three little ones can run around everywhere, they can't sit still at all. As soon as the adults let go, the little legs of the two kids are like wind-up springs, and Grandpa Liu can't keep up at all.
After leaving his parents' room, Lu Yuan went up the mountain.
By the time he returned from the mountain leading a plump female wild sheep, the news that Tang Fenglin from the cowshed had died from postpartum hemorrhage had already spread throughout the entire brigade.
"He even called for Dad, but it was too late. Dad said that when he got to the cowshed, the man had already passed away." Wen Moxue sighed for a long time.
"What about the child?" Lu Yuan asked.
"The baby was born, a girl. I heard she only weighed 5 pounds, very thin and small. But Dad helped check her out, and the baby is healthy. It's just that the mother died, there's no breast milk or formula, and we don't know if she can survive on just a little rice water."
After becoming a mother herself, Wen Moxue became especially soft-hearted when talking about children.
Thinking of the ewe he had brought back, Lu Yuan said, "I'll have Xiao Jun send some goat milk over later."
“That’s feasible. From now on, let them come and milk some goat milk for the children every day.”
Lu Yuan nodded, "Okay, I'll have Xiao Jun pass on a message later."
However, this means he has to avoid the villagers. Although they trust him and support him in everything he does, his excessive contact with the people in the cowshed is not a good thing.
Every day, many people come and go to his house to sell herbs, and Lu Yuan felt it was time to make some adjustments. Besides, his mother had just given birth, and his wife's belly was several sizes bigger.
With a new mother, a pregnant woman, and triplets to take care of at home, Lu Yuan didn't have much energy to collect herbs.
Lu Yuan summoned Xu Dong and Lu Yuanchao.
"You two have recently learned how to identify herbs and distinguish between good and bad ones, so the task of collecting herbs will be entrusted to you two from now on."
"No problem, we'll take care of it."
The two patted their chests and assured each other.
“My mother needs to rest after childbirth, and my wife is now in her late pregnancy and can’t stand a noisy environment. We both need to rest. From now on, we’ll go to a sanatorium to collect herbs.”
Gao Weishan also dried and processed the herbs at the sanatorium, which was convenient for everyone.
With the task of collecting herbs handed over, the house became much quieter, saving the couple a lot of trouble.
Lu Yuan then summoned Lu Xiaojun.
"Xiao Jun, I have a task for you. Can you complete it?"
Without asking what the mission was, Lu Xiaojun stood up straight and assured, "Big brother, I guarantee I'll complete the mission."
"Okay, I caught a wild goat from the mountain. It's a female goat that will produce milk. From now on, you'll be in charge of milking the goat and taking care of its hygiene."
Lu Xiaojun scratched his head. "Big brother, I'm fine with sanitation, but how do we milk the cows?"
Lu Yuan helped him wash his hands, then took a clean basin to the back of the house and began to teach him how to milk goats.
This wasn't difficult; Lu Xiaojun learned it very quickly.
Lu Yuan instructed, "You can't drink this goat milk directly after it's squeezed out. You have to boil it first, otherwise you'll easily get sick."
Lu Xiaojun licked his lips. "I'm not drinking this. It's for my little niece, Da Bao, Er Bao, and San Bao."
Lu Yuan said, "This sheep produces a lot of milk every day, and since you're growing, you can drink some."
If you want a horse to run, you have to feed it grass.
Lu Xiaojun was overjoyed, "Thank you, big brother."
"Also, later you can take a bowl of this goat milk to the Jia family in the cowshed and tell them to come and milk a bowl of goat milk every day when they have time, and ask them to avoid people."
"Understood, brother. I'll send it over to them right away."
