Chen Lan immediately called out to stop Wen Rou Niang from going out, "Mom, Mom! No need to boil more rice soup. Look, I asked someone to get some milk powder from the Russians. Grandma Liu, please quickly wash these two milk bottles clean, and then steam or boil them in hot water for about half a cup of tea time."
"Alright! Lan'er!" Grandma Liu took the milk bottles and went to get busy.
"Lan'er, what should I do?" Wen Rou Niang had many questions in her heart, but knew this was not the time to ask.
Chen Lan saw this but didn't explain. Now was not the time for explanations. The immediate priority was to feed these two little masters before anything else.
"Mom, could you help me pour half a bowl of boiled water and let it cool first, so I can mix the milk powder later?"
"Okay! I'll go right away!" Wen Rou Niang also quickly went to get busy.
It was early in the morning, and finally, there was some quiet. Chen Lan felt a throbbing pain in her head, likely from receiving some memories from the original owner.
Looking at the two milky babies snuggled in her arms, they were still struggling. Perhaps the milk was running low, making it difficult to eat (truly giving it their all), and their little noses were sweating. Chen Lan couldn't help but chuckle.
The two babies, perhaps hearing Chen Lan's laughter, simultaneously released their mouths from the "grain tanks." Maybe they were full! Or maybe they were tired! The two babies twitched their lips, a smile that wasn't quite a smile, and started to doze off again. Were they sleepy again? It's normal for little milk babies to eat and sleep, and sleep and eat!
After wrapping the two babies in diapers and placing them on the inner side of the big bed, Chen Lan now had time to take a closer look at their features. The impatient one was the girl, with delicate eyebrows and a small pink mouth, looking as cute as a jade figurine. The gentler one was the boy, who looked very similar to the girl, not much different. If you didn't look closely, you wouldn't be able to tell them apart.
Taking advantage of the current free time, Chen Lan quickly browsed the shopping page. Diapers were a must. There were tissues, so no need to buy them from the warehouse for now. She also needed to buy some snacks. Women easily get hungry while breastfeeding. Right, buy some nutritious and easily digestible cakes, bread, milk biscuits, and White Rabbit milk candies. She wondered if White Rabbit milk candies had appeared in this era yet. For now, she'd let it go. If anyone asked, she'd say she got them from the Russians, a perfect excuse!
Hmm! Listening to Wen Rou Niang, there were two younger brothers at home. She should buy a few pounds of fruit candies and a few pounds of peach cookies for the brothers to sweeten their mouths. As for others, and Wen Rou Niang and her mother-in-law, she'd get to know their needs later.
She didn't know who else was in her husband's family. She'd have to sort through the original owner's memories carefully later, or it would be troublesome if she slipped up.
She'd order and buy them now. The items would be stored in the system warehouse first and retrieved when needed.
Just then, footsteps sounded outside the door again. Wen Rou Niang pushed the door open and said, "Lan'er, I've brought the freshly boiled hot water. Where should I put it?"
"Oh dear! Mom! Quickly put it down. Did you burn your hand? Mom, you really are something, carrying it like that with your hand. What if you get burned?"
"Heh heh! It's nothing! It's nothing! I was just in a hurry. I was afraid the children couldn't wait and would get hungry, my precious darlings. I was also afraid they would disturb you and give you a headache again."
"Mom, no matter how hurried you are, you need to be careful! Getting burned is no joke! Next time, remember to let the freshly boiled water cool down a bit before carrying it with a tray, okay?"
"Got it! Got it! You're more nagging than I am!"
"Ah! Haha! Mom, you finally admit you're nagging? Hahaha..."
