Chapter 1300 The Affection in Adversity 4
Feng Qingxue stripped off the damp mattress pad and bed sheets, thankfully she had the foresight to lay a thin mattress pad on top of the bedding.
The damp mattress pad was draped over the fumigation basket to dry, while the bed sheets were tossed into the laundry basket. After washing her hands, Feng Qingxue finally prepared baby formula for the triplets. Although the bottles were identical, the formulas were different: Xiongxiong had Feihe, Zhuangzhuang had imported formula, and Dundun, not being fussy, drank the same imported formula as Zhuangzhuang, endearingly obedient, making Feng Qingxue feel both heartache and guilt.
Out of the five children, Dundun was the most neglected.
Xibao was Feng Qingxue’s first child, lavished with love and affection from a young age.
Fubao was the only girl in the Lu Family, delicate and exquisite. With only Xibao ahead of her, she was indulged in every way. She had never faced the slightest grievance until the triplets were born, when the adults’ attention shifted to them. By then, she had grown a bit older. Fortunately, despite her petulance, she was very sensible and took the initiative to help her mother care for her brothers.
When the triplets were born, Zhuangzhuang was the frailest and thus was particularly cherished. Feng Qingxue’s thoughts and concerns were constantly on him. She didn’t even breastfeed Dundun and Xiongxiong; the two children were essentially raised with the help of everyone else.
Among them, Xiongxiong was mischievous and trouble-making, driving everyone to monitor him closely to prevent any harm to his siblings born in the same litter.
Only Dundun lacked an elder brother’s abundant affection, a sister’s uniqueness, wasn’t bad enough like Xiongxiong to keep everyone on their toes, and wasn’t as fragile as Zhuangzhuang to stir empathy.
He was like an invisible child, slowly growing up on his own resilience.
Feng Qingxue felt a prickling in her eyes, feeling very sorry for her son, and couldn’t help squatting down in front of him, "Dundun, what do you want to eat tonight? Shall Mom make it for you?"
