My College Teacher is My Children's Mom

This shopping trip was quite fruitful for the quadruplets, as they bought many fun and interesting things.

The others also had a lot of fun, and if Lin Feng hadn't called, there's no telling how long they would have shopped. Upon exiting the building, they saw that it was already dark. Before they knew it, they had spent the whole afternoon shopping and hurried home.

It was the peak of rush hour, and traffic was severe, but thankfully, the children were riding Fatty.

When they got home, the whole family was waiting for them for dinner.

Zhou Cuilan's tone was slightly reproachful. "Why are you only getting back now? I called several times and no one answered."

The quadruplets quickly apologized, "It was inconvenient to answer the phone while we were riding."

Lin Feng had them wash their hands and get ready for dinner.

Zhou Cuilan muttered, "Honestly, I was so worried."

Lin Dashan persuaded his wife to hold her tongue. "They were riding their bikes, how could they answer the phone? Are they supposed to grow a third hand?" he reasoned. "That's enough now. Don't upset the children."

Zhou Cuilan nodded and said no more.

After dinner, the tasks of putting up couplets, hanging lanterns, and decorating with festive lights were all left to the children. Zhang Yuxi held Little Treasure while Lin Feng helped. Lin Dashan and his wife went back to tidy up their own house as well. When they left, they took half of the New Year's melon seeds and fruit candies, since the quadruplets had originally bought them to share.

With six people working, the house was beautifully decorated and brimming with New Year's spirit after just a few hours. The several-hundred-square-meter villa twinkled with colorful lights and was adorned with high-hanging red lanterns, creating a joyous and festive atmosphere.

Little Treasure was very excited in Zhang Yuxi's arms. She was always reaching for the shiny things, and when she couldn't touch them, she would even try to stand up. Lin Feng lifted her high, bringing her closer to the colorful lights to play with her. The feeling of wanting to grab something just out of reach made Little Treasure giggle.

Most of the new items belonged to Second Treasure. After taking a bath, she went to her room to arrange them by herself. She enjoyed admiring what she considered to be beautiful things in a quiet environment.

Finally, she turned her gaze to the antique-style headdress she had bought. After examining it carefully, she took it to her workshop for cleaning and restoration. Her intuition told her it was going to be very beautiful.

With her own special cleaning solution, she scrubbed it bit by bit. After some time, its true form was revealed. You could feel its age-old, yet still dazzling splendor. Delighted, Second Treasure's hands moved even faster.

Lin Feng sliced some fruit and delivered it to each of his children.

Fourth Treasure was playing basketball, while Eldest Treasure was doing chemistry problems.

"After the New Year, Dad will have someone renovate the lab for you," Lin Feng said.

Eldest Treasure smiled. "Thank you, Dad!"

Third Treasure was playing the drum set, her entire demeanor completely different from when she played the violin. Lin Feng didn't disturb her, just gently placed the fruit on the table and left.

If Second Treasure wasn't in her room, she had to be in the workshop. Lin Feng found her there, tools in hand, happily wiping the items she bought today under a lamp, her expression full of intense concentration. He didn't disturb her either, simply placing the fruit on her table before leaving.

Back with Zhang Yuxi, she had nearly finished her fruit.

"Little Treasure wanted a taste earlier, so I let her have a little lick. Now she's clinging to me, insisting she wants more," she said. Zhang Yuxi handed the baby to Lin Feng. "Honey, I'm at my wit's end. You take her."

Lin Feng soothed the anxious Little Treasure. "You want to eat something, huh? Come on, Daddy will let you have a taste!"

He chose a piece of cantaloupe.

The moment he brought it over, Little Treasure wriggled with all her might, stretching her neck to get a bite. You wouldn't believe how hard she was trying.

"Don't rush, take it slow!"

Little Treasure smacked her lips as she licked it, making quite a racket. It was clear she was going to be a foodie.

"Honey, you'd better eat the rest quickly before Little Treasure sees it."

"Alright."

And so, Little Treasure spent a long time licking that one piece of cantaloupe.

"Okay, no more eating, time for sleepy-bye!"

As soon as Lin Feng took the melon away, Little Treasure began to wail.

Zhang Yuxi couldn't help but be impressed. "Little Treasure, you're amazing! You've been licking that for so long and you're not even tired!"

"Honey, you can already tell Little Treasure is going to be a huge foodie when she grows up."

Lin Feng gave the cantaloupe back to Little Treasure. "Honey, I think we might need to start her on solids earlier than planned!"

Perhaps the cantaloupe had lost its flavor from all the licking, because Little Treasure suddenly discarded it without a second thought.

Lin Feng didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He got up to wash Little Treasure's face and hands, then cleaned her bottom and got her tidied up. She finally settled back into Zhang Yuxi's arms, nursing until she fell asleep.

After she finished her milk, Lin Feng burped her, then took a peek to see if she was teething. Sure enough, two tiny rice-grain-sized teeth had sprouted. No wonder she had been putting everything in her mouth lately.

"Honey, Little Treasure's teething! She has two of them."

Zhang Yuxi perked up. "Really? She's only five months old. Isn't that a bit early?"

Lin Feng shook his head. "I called the doctor to ask. He said that for a healthy, well-nourished baby, it's possible to start teething at five months."

The quadruplets had also started teething early, just not *this* early.

Lying in bed, Lin Feng began to ponder what sort of baby food he should prepare for Little Treasure and what new toys to buy her.

At five o'clock in the morning, Second Treasure finally finished cleaning the entire set of jewelry. Her only regret was that an earring was missing. Otherwise, the set would have been complete.

Second Treasure admired her work, feeling as if she had discovered a real treasure. She absolutely adored the set. She enjoyed handcrafting but was also fickle, always on a creative journey of continuous innovation. There were very few things that could hold her affection for long.

She carefully stored the set and then texted Lin Feng.

"Daddy, don't wake me for breakfast tomorrow morning. Mwah! [smooch.jpg]"

When Lin Feng got up and saw Second Treasure's message, he paused for a moment.

Second Treasure didn't get up until noon, at which point she showed off her previous night's work to everyone.

Eldest Treasure and Fourth Treasure weren't particularly impressed, only noting that the pieces looked like antiques.

Third Treasure rarely cared for such things, but she fell in love at first sight. "Wow, it's so beautiful!" she exclaimed.

Zhang Yuxi nodded. "It is really pretty, and the craftsmanship is very intricate."

Lin Feng said with a smile, "It looks like Second Treasure really found a treasure this time. It looks like a well-preserved antique."

Whether it was an antique or not didn't matter to Second Treasure. As long as she liked it, that was all that mattered.

At six o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Jie's plane arrived.

Zhou Cuilan had already booked a table at a high-end restaurant in Meicheng. The prices there were considered upper-mid-range for the city—not too extravagant, but not too simple either.

Zhou Cuilan had offered to pick them up from the airport, but Lin Jie declined, saying they would just take a taxi. A hotel was also booked for them; everything was arranged.

When Lin Feng's family arrived at the family home, Lin Jie and the others still hadn't returned. Lin Feng asked his mother, "Did you call them?"

"I did," Zhou Cuilan replied. "They're on the way. It should be about ten more minutes."

Ten minutes later, there was a noise at the door. Zhou Cuilan straightened her clothes and went to open it.

Indeed, it was Lin Jie. He was followed by a petite young woman—his girlfriend, Wen Xiaoya. Standing behind them were Wen Xiaoya's parents. Her mother had a certain scholarly air, and Wen Xiaoya had inherited her mother's petite build. Her father, in contrast, was stern-faced and powerfully built.
