Chapter 1142: Chapter 1142: Chaos With Chickens Flying and Dogs Jumping 3 Chapter 1142: Chapter 1142: Chaos With Chickens Flying and Dogs Jumping 3 Lu Jiang glanced at his watch, the hands pointed just past five o’clock.
In another two or three hours, it would be almost dawn.
He tucked his wife in, placing her arm under the blanket, then stood up to check on their eldest son and daughter, arranging the military coats wrapped around them, and then observed the triplets, his gaze lingering on Xiaowo the longest. He confird Xiaowo’s breathing was weaker than his brother’s but stable before he gently exhaled, letting go of the worry that had been hanging in the air.
How to take care of a baby was bewildering enough for Lu Jiang, let alone three at the sa ti.
Although Tian Ling had been hired to help and Yang Fengying had said her mother would assist with taking care of Qingxue in her postpartum recovery, Lu Jiang just couldn’t feel at ease. There were three babies, which ant washing three tis as many diapers!
If the three babies’ sleep schedules were consistent, it would be manageable, but he feared if one was asleep and two were awake, or two were asleep and one was awake, or if each baby had different sleeping tis, what would Qingxue do? It would be fine when he was around, but what about when he wasn’t? Would Qingxue have to constantly watch over the three babies without rest? And not to ntion the incoming challenge of feeding.
The housing issue… A small ho with just one bed could be overlooked, but with the standards for family housing having been further raised, now that he and his wife had five children, they could apply for the largest house in the family quarters.
Yes, while his wife and children were temporarily in the hospital, he should apply for a new house imdiately and ask his comrades to help move!
Just as Lu Jiang made up his mind, he heard footsteps outside and went to open the door without waiting for a knock. It was Doctor Liao, “I’ve co to check on Comrade Qingxue’s postpartum condition and the babies’ health.”
“Didn’t Comrade Liao just leave not too long ago?” Why hadn’t he conducted the check and then left?
Doctor Liao looked speechlessly at Lu Jiang and pointed at the IWC on his wrist, “Please check the ti.”
Lu Jiang looked down, and it was actually seven o’clock. He couldn’t help but smile awkwardly and quickly stepped aside to let him in.
Feng Qingxue, with her mind on her children, slept lightly. Hearing the conversation between Lu Jiang and Doctor Liao, she imdiately opened her eyes. Despite the severe lack of sleep, a few hours had been enough for her to regain so energy.
“Doctor Liao, how long have I slept? Is it ti to feed the babies?” Feng Qingxue struggled to sit up, and Lu Jiang hurried over to assist her.
“Let check your condition first, we will feed them when they cry.”
Before Doctor Liao could finish his sentence, one of the babies started to cry with a loud ‘wah’. It was uncertain if it was the third or fourth baby, but as its cries started, the other two joined in, their cries varying in pitch and strength.
“These three are too clever; just as we talk about feeding, they wake up.” Doctor Liao first handed Xiaowo to Feng Qingxue’s arms.
Seeing the pitiful Xiaowo, Feng Qingxue’s heart ached badly, and she quickly opened her blouse to feed him.
The little one, though he had been born just a few hours ago, was driven by instinct to suckle with effort, but he was too weak and couldn’t get the milk, his little face turning red as he cried helplessly.
“What do we do now?” Lu Jiang fretted, drenched in sweat.
Feng Qingxue quickly snapped to a solution, “Bring over the one crying the loudest; he must be strong. Let him have a few sucks to get the milk flowing, then we can feed Xiaowo.”
Doctor Liao was there, so it was not appropriate for Lu Jiang to help.
Doctor Liao quickly brought over the third or fourth baby, and as soon as the little one was close to his food source, he began to suck and swallow eagerly, causing Feng Qingxue to shiver from the force of his sucking, it was painful, the strength was just too much.
