Chapter 64: 64: The Reward for the Physical Examination
Lin Yi, holding the prescription, took the whole family to get the medicine, aiming to do so before the maternal and child health clinic closed for the day.
By the time they retrieved the medicine, a familiar system notification sound rang out in Lin Yi's mind.
"Ding, congratulations, Host. You've earned a reward for taking the babies for a health checkup, one million yuan for each baby."
Lin Yi was no longer greatly surprised by the system's rewards; everything was as expected. Besides, he now had at least tens of millions in savings—there was no need to worry about food and clothing for the rest of his life!
After collecting the medicines, they returned home. When they arrived, it was already twelve in the afternoon. Han Xuewei's mother and Lin Yi's mother were both readying lunch.
Today, Han Xuewei's mother took the initiative to cook. After preparing several dishes, she said with a smile to everyone, "My cooking skills aren't the best; I just stir-fried a few dishes. The meals are ready for everyone, but it seems there was no time to make Vivi's."
After consoling the babies, Lin Yi went to the kitchen: "Mom, let me cook for Vivi! You go ahead and eat. I'm not very hungry right now. I can just have the nutritional meal I make for Vivi later."
Even when they had a maternity matron, Han Xuewei's daily meals were prepared by Lin Yi, as his culinary skills were certainly much better than the maternity matrons'. But since the maternity matron's departure, it had been a bit too much for him, and sometimes the responsibility of cooking had fallen on Aunt Wang.
Lin Yi also realized it had been days since he last made a nutritional meal for his wife. Today was a good day to cook.
Although his wife had already come out of her confinement period, most people's lives would return to normal after it was over. Lin Yi, however, continued to carefully prepare nutritional meals for her, as she needed more time to recover from the birth of triplets.
He prepared a very lavish meal for his wife. By the time he finished, everyone had just finished eating, and Lin Yi served himself and Han Xuewei a bowl each, then took them upstairs together.
Gently pushing open the bedroom door, he found Han Xuewei still sound asleep. Lin Yi couldn't bear to wake her up, especially since she really hadn't rested well last night, and the little ones had another health checkup during the day—they might fuss again tonight!
To ensure Han Xuewei got enough sleep, Lin Yi decided not to wake her for the time being. Unexpectedly, just as he put down the food on the table, she woke up on her own.
She rubbed her sleepy eyes, her voice hoarse, and asked bewilderedly, "Honey, did you finish the baby's checkup so soon?"
"Yes, wife. How did you sleep today?" Lin Yi was about to come forward to help her when suddenly, the sound of crying came from the nursery.
Han Xuewei's mother and Aunt Wang were right there in the room. Han Xuewei hurried out of bed and ran with Lin Yi towards the nursery.
"Mom, did the babies get a scare today?" Han Xuewei asked with concern.
"Nothing to worry about, they are probably hungry by now. We left early today and they haven't had their milk since. It's noon now; they must be starving."
"Yeah, we've been out with the babies non-stop, and even we adults are this hungry, let alone the kids," Lin Yi said.
Even if the babies had been fed before leaving the house, that was a long time ago, so they must be crying now because of hunger.
Han Xuewei quickly picked up Da Bao, who was crying the loudest, and said, "Today, I'll breastfeed my brother. Lin Yi, you prepare the formula milk for the younger brother and sister."
Lin Yi was momentarily taken aback upon hearing this, because mixing formula was something others had done before; she had only breastfed the babies and had never made formula milk. Now that it was her turn, she didn't quite know how to proceed.
"Um... I'll give it a try," Lin Yi replied without giving it much thought and agreed at once.
```
No, we can learn again.
Han Xuewei carried her eldest son back to the bedroom while Lin Yi turned to ask his mother-in-law and Aunt Wang, "I've never made formula before, how do I do it?"
Aunt Wang quickly explained, "Here, you hold little Mengmeng, and I'll handle the formula. You just watch from the side, you'll learn after seeing it once."
However, Lin Yi stated plainly, "It's fine, Aunt Wang, leave making the formula to me. You can guide me from the side, that way I'll learn faster."
At that moment, Lin Yi was also calculating in his mind, he had never prepared formula for the baby before, and if he were to do it himself today, he would definitely get a reward from the system.
Furthermore, it wasn't a difficult task, and once he had learned, he would have to make more formula for the baby in the future.
"The water in the baby's special warmer kettle is always kept at a constant temperature. Water at 45 degrees can be used directly to make the formula. For every scoop of formula, add 40 milliliters of water. The little brother and sister don't eat much each day, 120 milliliters is completely enough. But since the baby is very hungry today, make 160 milliliters!"
Lin Yi listened very carefully and started to do as Aunt Wang had instructed, even placing the bottle on the table and reading the measurements to get exactly 160 milliliters.
Seeing the water was about right, Lin Yi added four scoops of formula.
Han Xuewei's mother, seeing Lin Yi's serious demeanor, was also very satisfied.
Such a good son-in-law, you couldn't find one even if you searched with a lantern! She liked the look of him more and more.
After Lin Yi finished adding the formula, he screwed on the bottle cap and picked up the bottle to start shaking it.
But after just one shake, both Han Xuewei's mother and Aunt Wang hurriedly stopped him, "No, that's not the right way to shake it."
Lin Yi was also taken aback by the two of them speaking up at the same time, saying, "Don't worry, I won't let it get foamy inside, I've done my homework and won't make a mistake."
Lin Yi first stirred it a couple of times and then slowly began to shake it. Only after being sure that both bottles of formula were ready did he smile and say to them, "All good now! Though I've never made formula myself before, I've read quite a few informative books on it!"
Lin Yi's actions also satisfied them both, clearly nothing had gone wrong.
Han Xuewei's mother came forward to take the bottle, finally at ease, "Yes, it's ready to be eaten."
After all the hustle and bustle from the three of them, the two little ones finished the 160 milliliters of milk in no time. The little brother and sister had better routines than their older brother; they fell asleep soon after their feed.
Just as Lin Yi was putting away the bottles, the prompt in his mind rang out on time.
"Ding, congratulations to the host for successfully making formula for the babies, reward: two hundred thousand!"
After hearing this, Lin Yi also revealed a hint of a smile on his face, this was all part of being a dad!
After washing the babies' bottles, he placed them in the sterilizer cabinet and finally had some free time, so he went back to the bedroom.
