My College Teacher is My Children's Mom-Chapter 689 The Three Treasures’ Friend

At ten o’clock in the evening, Little Treasure finally finished her homework. After Lin Feng washed her face and feet, she immediately fell asleep.

When he checked her backpack and saw the homework, Lin Feng’s blood pressure shot up.

Forget it, forget it. I’m not looking anymore.

Every time Lin Feng looked at Little Treasure’s homework, his blood pressure would rise. He told himself not to be too harsh and usually just turned a blind eye. It’s not easy to educate kids these days; it was nothing like it was with the quadruplets. You can’t hit them, you can’t scold them, you can’t even speak to them sternly.

The next day, after dropping off Little Treasure, Lin Feng happened to see his second and third children, Second Treasure and Third Treasure, dining in the restaurant.

"From now on, Little Treasure’s homework is your responsibility..."

Hearing this sudden declaration, the two of them looked puzzled. What’s going on?

Lin Feng didn’t explain. He just asked if they were all free for the Chinese New Year, as he was planning a lively family get-together. Even Zhang Yuxi’s parents in Modu would be coming over.

"Your eldest brother has already promised me he’ll be back for the New Year. The whole family will definitely be together this time."

The two of them also promised they would put their work aside, no matter what, to celebrate a happy New Year with everyone.

This year, the New Year came a full half-month early. Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, it was January first.

Life went on as usual, except that Little Treasure’s final exam was scheduled for January 7th. Her vacation would begin on the 8th. She would get her report card on the 9th, her holiday would officially start on the 10th, and she was due back at school on February 26th.

Whichever of Second Treasure or Third Treasure was free would supervise Little Treasure’s review sessions. Little Treasure preferred Third Treasure’s gentleness and patience; he wasn’t like Second Sister, who would call her a little dummy.

"Third Treasure, you have a call!"

Third Treasure was taking a shower and didn’t hear her despite her repeated calls, so she hesitated for a moment before answering the phone. Little Treasure’s grades weren’t great, but she seemed to have a natural gift for languages and performing arts. At such a young age, she could already speak multiple languages; she just couldn’t read them.

"Hello? May I ask who this is?"

The person on the other end, likely not expecting an adorable child to answer, asked politely, "Is Third Treasure there? I’m his friend, Shao Yang."

"Oh, my third brother is busy right now. You should call back later."

"And who might you be, little one?"

"I’m his little sister, Little Treasure!"

"Wow, so you’re Little Treasure! I’ve heard your brother talk about you."

Curious, Little Treasure asked, "What did he say about me?"

When Third Treasure came out, he saw Little Treasure happily chatting on the phone. "Whose call is that?"

Little Treasure quickly spoke into the phone, "I have to go, my brother’s back!" She then turned to him. "He said his name is Shao Yang, a friend of yours."

Taking the phone, Third Treasure told her, "Go find your Second Sister. Have her get you ready for bed."

Little Treasure scampered off.

Second Treasure was in the middle of a work video call. When Little Treasure came in, she gave her a questioning look. Little Treasure pointed to her feet, and Second Treasure understood.

"Alright everyone, let’s take a ten-minute break!"

Turning off the video, Second Treasure got up with a resigned sigh to help Little Treasure wash up.

"You’re a big girl now. It’s time you learned to wash your own face and feet and take care of yourself."

Little Treasure tilted her head. "Second Sister, are you tired of me?"

Second Treasure playfully nibbled her little foot, making Little Treasure giggle.

"Yep. Your feet are too stinky."

Little Treasure pouted. "Then why did you bite them? Serves you right if you faint from the stink!"

Second Treasure finished making the bed. "Go to sleep, my little princess!"

At home, Little Treasure was truly treated like a princess. Aside from eating and using the bathroom, her older siblings took care of everything else for her.

「The day before her final exams.」

Little Treasure went around asking everyone, "If I get a perfect score in both Chinese and Math, will there be a reward?"

All her family members eagerly agreed, including Big Treasure and Fourth Treasure, who were far away in Jingcheng. They all said, "If you really get two perfect scores, we’ll buy you whatever you want!"

「When the exam was over.」

Little Treasure rushed out, shouting, "Wow, it’s finally vacation! No more studying!"

Lin Feng was speechless. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

Onlookers thought to themselves what a straightforward child she was.

For other families, a child on vacation was like a mythical beast let loose. But with three helpers at home, Lin Feng wasn’t worried in the slightest. Besides, his parents had already said that Little Treasure could stay with them for a while during her winter break. They missed her terribly.

Sure enough, Lin Feng packed Little Treasure’s luggage on the evening of the 7th. By noon on the 8th, he had driven her to his parents’ home.

Lin Dashan and Zhou Cuilan had been waiting eagerly. The moment they opened the door, they scooped the nearly five-foot-tall Little Treasure into their arms.

"Oh, Little Treasure! Grandma’s little darling! Let Grandma get a good look at you."

"Oh my, your little face has gotten so thin! Haven’t you been eating properly lately?"

"Hmm, you’ve grown so much! You need to eat well to grow even taller!"

As Lin Feng carried the luggage inside, he noticed the house was stocked with snacks and toys. "Mom, why did you buy so many snacks?"

"They’re for Little Treasure to eat," Lin Dashan said. "Don’t worry, we’ll keep an eye on her and won’t let her eat too many."

Lin Feng didn’t believe it for a second. As long as Little Treasure wheedled them, the old couple would grant her every wish.

Zhou Cuilan took Little Treasure to see the toys, and Lin Dashan hurried over as well. Both grandparents were in high spirits, their faces beaming with joy.

"Little Treasure, these are the toys Grandpa and Grandma bought for you. Take a look, do you like them?"

"This is a Barbie doll, and this is a Barbie doll... Here’s a little princess dress... and this crown..."

As she spoke, Zhou Cuilan turned to her son. "Look, Little Treasure is so much thinner! You need to make sure she eats more. This is when she’s supposed to be growing!"

Compared to other kids her age, Little Treasure is already tall, and she’s not thin at all—in fact, she’s a bit chubby. It’s just a grandparents’ perspective.

Lin Feng sat down and poured himself a cup of hot water. "I know, Mom."

Zhou Cuilan let Little Treasure play while she went to the kitchen to cook. "Grandma’s going to make something delicious for our Little Treasure! Then this afternoon, we’ll all go to the amusement park!"

Lin Feng got up to help, but Zhou Cuilan waved him away. "I don’t need your help. Go sit in the living room. You and Little Treasure can taste my cooking!"

Lin Feng didn’t leave. He squatted down to peel garlic, and the mother and son started chatting.

As they talked, Zhou Cuilan’s brow furrowed with worry. "The quadruplets have all grown up now. Have any of them started dating?"

Lin Feng replied, "I don’t know. I haven’t asked."

Zhou Cuilan put down her knife. "How could you not ask? This is a major life event. As their father, you should be more concerned. If it’s inconvenient for you to ask, let Yu Xi do it. It’s good to at least have an idea of what’s going on."

Lin Feng finished the garlic and started peeling some green onions. "I hinted around about it before, but the kids all said they want to let things happen naturally, so I didn’t push it."

"Our eldest is so busy with work she can hardly find time to rest. Where would she find time to date? Second Treasure’s company just went public. She has so much to do, working until one or two in the morning. She doesn’t have time to date either. Third Treasure is busy with his music studio. He’s planning to move it to Yangcheng to look for more opportunities. And as for Fourth Treasure, same story. They’re all busy!"

Zhou Cuilan picked up the knife again and began slicing the garlic. "Regardless, you need to take this matter seriously. Don’t you know? A lot of young people these days don’t want to get married... If they don’t marry, what will they do when they’re old and all alone?"

Lin Feng wasn’t too concerned. "Mom, times are different. Young people have their own ideas about how to live. We should respect their choices. You should worry less about this. I’m their father, and even I’m not worried. Why are you so anxious? Children will make their own way in life. You and Dad just need to take care of yourselves, live well, and stay healthy. That’s what’s most important."

Zhou Cuilan wasn’t happy to hear that. She was just concerned, after all.

Lin Feng added, "The way young people think these days is different from our generation, and especially from yours. These things, dating and marriage, have to happen in their own time. If I push them too hard, they might just decide not to get married at all. What could I do then?"

With information being so accessible nowadays, Zhou Cuilan wasn’t completely stuck in her old ways of thinking. Hearing this, she said with resignation, "They’ve never given you or Yu Xi any trouble, even when they were little. This... I suppose we’ll just have to let nature take its course."

If they were really pushed, they were stubborn enough to refuse to marry. Her grandchildren would actually do something like that.
