My College Teacher is My Children's Mom-Chapter 785: Starting to Plan for a Baby

It was already ten o’clock, but Er Bao and Si Bao were still asleep, having missed breakfast. Lin Dashan and Zhou Cuilan were waiting downstairs for them to get up.

Zhou Cuilan was worried. "Our Er Bao is married already," she fretted. "What if she’s still this lazy after she has kids?"

"She’ll become more diligent once she has a child," Lin Dashan said, looking on the bright side. "Besides, with their financial situation, they can afford to hire a maternity nurse or a nanny."

Nowadays, Lin Dashan had the better temper of the two. Zhou Cuilan, on the other hand, was becoming increasingly irritable and would cause a scene at the drop of a hat. Her blood pressure was a bit high, so Lin Dashan never argued with her. He’d just advise her to manage her temper and take her medication. As their peers passed away one by one, they had come to cherish each other more. He was genuinely afraid that, with her high blood pressure, she might get angry enough to endanger her health.

However, his comforting words only made Zhou Cuilan angrier.

"Nannies are no good, and maternity nurses are even worse! Haven’t you seen the news? Many of them are heartless!" she snapped. "What if we get a bad one? What will happen to my great-grandchild then?"

Lin Dashan knew he couldn’t continue the topic and quickly agreed, "Right, right, you’re absolutely correct. We’ll talk to Er Bao and Si Bao about it when they get up."

Zhou Cuilan glared at him. "I ask you to solve one little thing, and you’re completely useless."

"Right, right, whatever you say is right," Lin Dashan placated her again.

At this, Zhou Cuilan rolled her eyes at him. "You’re insane."

Lin Feng found this amusing to watch, but when he turned his head, Zhou Cuilan’s glare shifted to him.

"And you’re laughing? You’re their father, you should say something. Look at the time..."

Lin Feng, ever the diplomat, said, "Mom, let the young people sleep a bit longer. They’re under a lot of pressure these days. We should be a little more tolerant as parents."

Her own son’s words softened Zhou Cuilan for a moment. She then asked, "It’s about time for Da Bao’s wedding, isn’t it?"

"Once this is over, I’ll discuss the wedding with the Cai family," Lin Feng replied. "Young people are busy and don’t understand these things; it’s up to us to worry about them."

Zhou Cuilan hummed in agreement. "Yes, we should pay attention to it. Look at your children, they’re not young anymore. And we haven’t heard any news from Er Bao or Si Bao... All I want is to hold my great-grandchild before I die. I just don’t know if that wish will come true."

As they were talking, Er Bao came downstairs, stretching lazily.

"Grandma, Grandpa, Dad..."

Zhou Cuilan immediately brushed her son aside and rushed over. "Er Bao, you and Si Bao are leaving at eight tonight? Can’t you stay a few more days?"

Er Bao smiled. "Grandma, this was all so sudden. I have a lot of work I haven’t arranged back home yet. I’ll come back as soon as I get it sorted out. Besides, Big Brother is getting married this New Year. It’s going to be a big, lively celebration."

Zhou Cuilan smiled along with her. "That’s right, that’s right. You and Qin have been married for a while now. When are you planning to have kids? You’re not getting any younger; it’s time. I saw on TV that your age is perfect right now. Any older and you’d be considered a high-risk pregnancy, which is bad for both the mother and the baby."

"We’re already planning for a baby," Er Bao said earnestly. "I’m even taking traditional Chinese medicine to prepare my body. I believe we’ll have good news soon."

At those words, Zhou Cuilan was overjoyed. "Then you two work hard at it! Good luck!"

Er Bao suppressed a laugh. "Don’t worry, Grandma. We’ll work hard."

In the living room, Lin Dashan pursed his lips. "Your mother becomes a completely different person around her grandchildren. With me, she finds fault in everything and is always on edge."

Lin Feng laughed. "That’s just grandparents doting on their grandchildren. Mom has adored them since they were little. No matter how old they get, they’re still just kids in her eyes."

A moment later, THUMP, THUMP, THUMP... there was no doubt it was Si Bao coming down the stairs.

He grinned. "Hey, everyone’s here. Great, great."

Such a sunny, brilliant smile would lift anyone’s mood.

But Lin Feng’s mood soured instantly. "I’m not trying to criticize you, but you’re at the age where you should be settling down. After your big brother gets married, it’ll be your turn. You need to start acting your age. Tell me, did you clean your room after getting up?"

The smile on Si Bao’s face froze. "No."

Lin Feng ordered him to go clean it up immediately before coming down for breakfast. He’s thirty years old and still so lazy. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

After Si Bao was sent back upstairs, Er Bao finished her breakfast and lay on the sofa, scrolling through her phone.

After San Bao returned from taking Xiao Bao home, Lin Feng began packing her things. Her flight was at three that afternoon, and he hated to see her go.

"Dad, this is too much..."

"Not at all, not at all. Dad made a lot this year. When your big brother’s wedding date is set, you and Shao Yang must come back."

"Of course. No matter how busy I am, I’ll drop everything for it."

With Xiao Bao, Da Bao, and Zhang Yuxi all away, it was a rare opportunity for the rest of the family to eat together. Lin Dashan and Zhou Cuilan planned to return to their hometown after the children left. The children all pleaded with them to stay, worried something might happen if they were alone, but the elderly couple’s minds were made up. They felt that life in the countryside was quite nice.

At one-thirty in the afternoon, Lin Feng drove his daughter to the airport. He carried both large suitcases himself without any trouble. "Dad can manage. Don’t worry about me."

Okay then, San Bao thought. Seeing Dad in such good spirits, there’s no way he’ll strain his back.

"Dad, I’m going."

"Go on. I’ll watch you leave."

San Bao looked back every five steps. Even when she reached the corner, she could still see Lin Feng standing there, waving at her.

Ah, my dad.

San Bao, too, had left, leaving Lin Feng with a hollow feeling inside.

That evening, Er Bao and Si Bao were also leaving.

When Lin Feng returned home, he saw them on the sofa, barefoot, playing PUBG and shouting insults at each other. He couldn’t help but face-palm. They should hurry up and leave. This is such a headache.

Although it was vexing, a father still had to provide for his children before they departed. As he was lamenting this, he heard Si Bao call out, "Dad, pack some extra for me!"

Eat, eat, eat, Lin Feng thought. That’s all he knows how to do. He was like this as a child, and he’s still like this at his age.

"Your daughter-in-law, Jia Yi, really loves your cooking."

"Alright then!"

Well, since my daughter-in-law loves it, I’ll pack a little extra! Haha!

After packing, he got busy making dinner. Since the two had a flight at eight, they needed to eat early. Going downstairs to get some help, Lin Feng glanced at the two still playing games on the sofa and chanted to himself silently.

Damn it. They’re my own flesh and blood, my own flesh and blood. Don’t get angry. They’ll be gone soon.

After they finished dinner, they rested for a while before he drove them to the airport. This was his third trip to the airport today.

As Er Bao and Si Bao were about to leave, they were incredibly reluctant to part with him. Lin Feng felt the same way.

But the tender moment was quickly shattered by the thoughtless Si Bao, who let out a fart.

Er Bao burst out laughing, and Lin Feng face-palmed.

Good grief, the man is over thirty. Can’t he act a little more dignified for my sake?

Lin Feng waved his hand dismissively. "Go, go, go. Just hurry up and go."

Er Bao laughed. "Hurry up. Can’t you see Dad is disgusted with you?"

He certainly is!

Watching the two of them leave, Lin Feng could only manage a wry sigh. When will that kid ever be reliable?
