Chapter 135 The Great Rivers Are Coming
Midway through, the second child got hungry and cried a few times. Qin Yingxue quickly made two bottles of milk powder and gave one to each of the older and younger children.
The third brother stared quietly into the distance with his dark eyes.
Even after the two older children had finished their formula, Jiang Yueqiao still hadn't seen Qin Yingxue prepare formula for the third child. She grew anxious and hinted, "Xiaoshiqing is hungry..."
After all, he was her godson, and he was already thin and weak. The other two children had milk powder to drink, but the third one did not, which made Jiang Yueqiao feel extremely sorry for him.
"Xiao Shiqing has a weak appetite, so she eats small meals frequently." Qin Yingxue gently took Xiao Shiqing from her arms, turned slightly, and lifted the hem of her clothes to breastfeed Xiao Shiqing.
Jiang Yueqiao was taken aback, then quickly turned her head away, somewhat surprised, and asked, "You still breastfeed?"
“Breast milk contains antibodies and is the most nutritionally complete. I don’t have enough milk to feed one child, so I’ll have to feed the third one first.” After more than a month of practice, Qin Yingxue was already able to breastfeed skillfully. She held him in one arm and gently patted Xiao Shiqing’s back with the other to prevent him from hiccuping and spitting up…
Seeing this scene, Jiang Yueqiao's heart softened, and she couldn't help but reach out and touch Xiao Shiqing's head.
If only... she and Ouyang Jian had their own child...
Jiang Yueqiao then quickly shook her head.
I promised him two years, how can he have such wild thoughts?
Besides, Xiao Qing is so adorable, and as her godmother, she has a great responsibility.
After feeding him, Qin Yingxue did not put Xiao Shiqing on the bed. Instead, she carried him and walked around slowly, patting his back as she went. After twenty minutes, Qin Yingxue finally put him down and let him lie down with his two older brothers.
Jiang Yueqiao now understood why Xiao Qing was the last one to drink milk.
Because he wasn't as physically strong as his two older brothers, he needed to be cared for more meticulously.
In fact, she had already understood from the moment Qin Yingxue started feeding Xiao Shiqing milk alone.
"Taking care of three children must be very hard!" Jiang Yueqiao suddenly felt a bit of admiration for Qin Yingxue.
Qin Yingxue smiled gently, her face filled with tenderness as she looked at the three children: "They are my own children. Seeing them change every day makes all the hard work worthwhile. Besides, they are all very well-behaved, and my mother-in-law helps take care of them, so it's not hard work at all."
Jiang Yueqiao was even more envious.
Just then, hurried footsteps sounded outside. Song Yanchuan's voice came before he arrived: "Yingxue, Yingxue, look who's here?"
This was the first time Qin Yingxue had ever seen Song Yanchuan react so strongly since they met. She got up and walked to the door, and when she saw that familiar figure, she was immediately stunned.
"Little sister..."
The familiar smile, the familiar voice—Qin Yingxue's eyes instantly welled up with tears.
"Second Brother..." Qin Yingxue exclaimed excitedly, "Why are you here?"
“It’s a long way, so I’m here on behalf of the whole family to see you and the children.” As Qin Dajiang said this, he took out a piece of red cloth from his pocket. Underneath it were three longevity locks and three pairs of silver bracelets. “These are from Mom, who is now a grandmother, for her three grandchildren.”
Qin Yingxue looked down, reached out and took it, and asked, "How are Mom and Dad? How is everyone?"
"Good, all good!" Qin Dajiang looked at Qin Yingxue, who was noticeably fuller-figured, and asked with concern, "How are you? Mom heard you're pregnant with triplets and said that childbirth is like stepping into the gates of hell for a woman, and she's worried about you every day. This time, I brought six chickens, three ducks, and fifty eggs, all raised at home, which are the best for nourishing people."
"Second Brother, aren't you tired carrying so much stuff? Yan Chuan, quickly take Second Brother to the next room to rest..."
Qin Yingxue knew that Qin Dajiang definitely couldn't afford to buy a seat ticket. He must be very tired after sitting on the train for so long and carrying so much stuff.
"I'm not tired. I have another surprise for you," Qin Dajiang said, teasing Qin Yingxue.
"What surprise?" Qin Yingxue looked at Qin Dajiang with some confusion.
"Guess?" Qin Dajiang asked mysteriously.
Qin Yingxue rolled her eyes at him, then looked at Song Yanchuan.
Song Yanchuan stood to the side with a smile and shook his head at her.
"You two, if you don't tell me, I'll ask Mom." Qin Yingxue stomped her foot, feigning anger, and was about to go downstairs to find Zhu Huiwen.
Qin Dajiang tried to stop her, but Song Yanchuan stopped him.
Qin Yingxue had only taken two steps when she saw another familiar face and was immediately stunned, rubbing her eyes in disbelief.
"Little sister..." Qin Dahe grinned and showed a big smile, looking at her with a happy expression.
"Third Brother..." Qin Yingxue exclaimed excitedly.
When she met Qin Dajiang, she actually had a little expectation in her heart.
She chatted with Qin Dajiang for a couple of minutes, but Qin Dahe didn't show up, so she guessed that maybe only her second brother came this time.
Even after actually meeting Qin Dahe, Qin Yingxue still felt like she was dreaming.
"You and my second brother conspired to lie to me." Qin Yingxue gave him a playful glare.
"I wanted to give you a surprise!" Qin Dahe walked up to Qin Yingxue, looked her over carefully, and said, "You've gotten fairer and plumper. It's good to be a little plumper; you used to be too thin..."
"Third Brother, you'd better not say anything." Qin Yingxue was a little angry.
Even the most tolerant woman won't like to hear someone say she's gained weight.
"Then I'll go see my three little nephews." Qin Dahe scratched his head and chuckled sheepishly. "Little sister, the whole village is buzzing with excitement when they hear you've had three boys. Many people say you're lucky and will be living a life of luxury in the future..."
Qin Yingxue smiled but remained silent.
The two walked through the door and immediately saw Qin Dajiang surrounding the three little ones, marveling at them: "I've heard people say that twins look very alike, but this is the first time we've seen triplets. We can't even tell who's the eldest, second eldest, and youngest! They look almost exactly the same..."
"Let me see..." Qin Dahe quickly squeezed through the crowd, and upon seeing the three identical little faces, he burst into laughter, "My little nephews, your uncle has finally seen you..."
After finishing speaking, Qin Dahe rubbed his hands excitedly and looked at Qin Yingxue with anticipation: "Can I hug them?"
Qin Yingxue nodded, and Qin Dahe immediately became excited.
Just as he reached out, Qin Dajiang slapped his hand away: "Get out of the way, the child is so delicate, do you think a rough old man like you can hold him?"
Qin Dahe immediately deflated.
Although he has held his nephews and nieces many times, they are all thick-skinned and tough, so they fall down easily.
But looking at these three fair-skinned, tender, and fragrant little babies, my heart melted.
If you can't hold him and he falls...
bah bah...
Qin Dahe dared not think any further.
"It's alright, Third Brother, I'll teach you." Qin Yingxue saw Qin Dahe's predicament and smiled as she stepped forward to pick up the second brother: "This is the second brother, named Song Shiyao. He is also the most lively of the three brothers and looks a lot like his third uncle."
