The Reborn Aristocrat's Daughter-Chapter 843 - 803: Hard Work (2)

"Huh, why did they suddenly stop crying?" Xiao Muli asked in surprise. After he spoke, he leaned over to the crib to look inside at the two little babies, and what he saw amazed him even more: "Eh, they’ve been crying for such a long time, how come there are no tears? It seems they’re just wailing without shedding any tears."

After having contact with these three little babies, Xiao Muli would find that these three little guys could certainly be cunning. Since they couldn’t talk, whenever they wanted something, their only means of alerting adults was crying. But they never had tears when they cried, only when they were truly sad or hurt themselves did they actually cry tears. Of course, that was a story for later.

At this moment, Situ Xin was too preoccupied to care about what Xiao Muli was saying. She had just undone her clothes when the baby in her arms eagerly opened his mouth and latched on to her, and the bite hurt so much that Situ Xin couldn’t help but cry out: "Ah, that hurts."

"What’s wrong? What happened?" Hearing Situ Xin cry out in pain, Xiao Muli could no longer concern himself with why the other two babies were crying without tears. When he turned his head, he felt a twinge of jealousy. That was his territory, after all, and now his territory had been invaded.

"It’s nothing, nothing. It’s just this little guy, he bit down too hard, it hurts. I couldn’t help but cry out," said Situ Xin. When she cried out, the baby in her arms seemed to sense her discomfort and slightly eased the pressure. Nonetheless, since he was very hungry, he was voraciously sucking and still wanted milk, so the area where Situ Xin was bitten still felt a bit of a sting. But this kind of pain was still bearable for Situ Xin.

"This little guy has quite the grip," said Xiao Muli, a bit enviously, yet he couldn’t just go and take the little guy away from his wife’s arms.

"Children are all like this. I think when the books talk about using the strength to suckle, they must mean something like this," Situ Xin felt her baby in her arms finally start sucking out milk. Now he was smacking his lips and enjoying his meal.

When Situ Xin felt the baby in her arms was about 70 to 80 percent full, she moved his mouth away from her breast. This left the still hungry baby dissatisfied, causing him to struggle a bit, but luckily, he didn’t start crying out loud.

Sensing the discontent of the baby in her arms, Situ Xin hurriedly said: "Baby, there’s no hurry, we’ll drink formula milk in a bit. Now we have to let your younger brother and sister have some." Situ Xin knew she had given birth to triplets, and there were still two more babies waiting to be fed. If the first two babies were fully fed, the third would probably end up with an empty stomach.

Thus, she could closely and precisely control it, making sure all three babies got some breast milk.

After speaking, Situ Xin handed the baby in her arms to Xiao Muli, who smoothly took the child and placed him in the crib, then picked up the second baby from the other crib to hand to Situ Xin. He asked, "Was that one the eldest?"

"Yes, that was the eldest, the brother. I’m holding the second one, also a boy, and the youngest is a girl," replied Situ Xin as she adjusted her posture holding the baby in her hands.

"Our daughter is the youngest, huh," Xiao Muli softened upon hearing that his daughter was the one lying in the crib, sucking on her little fist. He leaned down and gently lifted his daughter up.

After the three little treasures were about seven or eight tenths full, Situ Xin’s milk was already gone. Xiao Muli watched as his daughter was sucking hard, but couldn’t draw any milk, and her little face turned red from the exertion. This pained his heart. He took his daughter from the embrace of his wife Situ Xin. Gently patting her, he said, "Wife, let’s let our daughter eat first next time. As her older brothers, they should be more considerate of their little sister."

Situ Xin glanced at Xiao Muli, who was obviously biased towards his daughter to an extreme, and didn’t say a word. However, she privately agreed with her husband Xiao Muli’s sentiment.

The door creaked open, and poking in was a tiger-headed boy. "Wow, the baby is awake." Loo Yu had been schooled by the adults at home before coming to the hospital. They told him that his favorite sister had given birth to two little nephews and a niece, and that he should behave himself in the hospital, not to make too much noise, otherwise, if he disturbed the babies’ rest, he would have to answer to his grandfather and father.

And so, the well-schooled Loo Yu quietly pushed the door open. Carefully, he poked his head in first to survey the situation inside the ward.

Seeing her brother standing at the door, Situ Xin beckoned him to come in: "Xiao Yu is here, come in quickly, come to your sister."

"Sister." Upon hearing Situ Xin’s words, Loo Yu opened the door and dashed towards Situ Xin. His mother Lu Juan’s voice followed from behind: "Loo Yu, slow down, your sister has just given birth."

But now, Loo Yu, as if he had found his support, wasn’t afraid of his mother at all and completely disregarded her words. He ran to Situ Xin’s side, grabbed her arm, and began to act like a spoiled child. "Sister, sister, listen to me. Grandpa, grandma, and my parents, they’re terrible, they threatened me saying if I disturbed you and the baby, they would never bring me to see you again."

In Loo Yu’s heart, his sister Situ Xin’s place was very significant. To these nieces and nephews who were about to take his place, Loo Yu wasn’t very welcoming of them at all. His feelings were similar to those children whose mothers were expecting a second child, experiencing an almost identical sense of rejection, as if his own share of love was being taken away.

Therefore, Loo Yu clung to Situ Xin’s arm and didn’t let go, and when his eyes glanced over to the three little babies, he quickly shifted his gaze elsewhere.

Following Loo Yu came the kin of the three big families; except for those serving in the military, or out of town for visits, all others had arrived. The ward, which originally appeared quite spacious, suddenly became crowded.

"Baby, how are you feeling?" Old Madam Situ came in and saw Situ Xin, then asked with concern.

"I feel okay. I just finished feeding milk to these little ones, but, grandma, their grandmother, I don’t have enough breast milk for the three of them, you need to prepare some formula for them." Situ Xin said, and thinking about the problematic baby formula from her previous life, felt somewhat uneasy. She actually wanted to feed these three little ones the milk produced by her own space, but they were so small, and their digestive systems were not fully developed; they couldn’t absorb the cow’s milk yet.

"Oh, that I have already thought of. I asked a friend of mine who’s abroad to buy their best formula for me and send it over. Look, I brought the formula with me today." Lu Juan had the experience of not having enough breast milk when she gave birth to her son Loo Yu, so she had her friend buy imported formula from abroad. With this experience, Lu Juan had prepared baby formula even before Situ Xin gave birth.
