The carousel spun up and down, rising and falling, accompanied by the tinkling of bells, melodious music, and the silvery laughter of children.
Chen Lan stood beside the carousel, watching the three children play happily. Only now did she have the time to get a good look at the exterior of the carousel she had just bought.
The carousel was designed in the classic yurt style, with a canopy in alternating colors of red, white, and yellow. The red was vibrant and attractive, the gold was shimmering, beautiful, and grand, and the white was pure and flawless.
In the center of the yurt was a large, thick red pillar, surrounded by five slender golden pillars. Five white horses were fitted with child safety seats on their backs, continuously circling the red pillar while emitting crisp, melodious tinkling sounds and pleasant music.
While the children were happily playing, Chen Lan opened the system with her mind and chose a swing-style children's crib that could sleep four children at once. After carefully reading the customer reviews for this product, she decided to place an order. She also bought a considerable number of diapers and several new baby bottles, preparing for the arrival of several children the next day.
She then thought about it and bought several bags of second-stage infant formula, baby powder, and other items that might be needed tomorrow.
Turning back to ask her mother about something, she found that her mother was not in the living room. Chen Lan thought, "No wonder the three children were so quiet when they climbed over earlier. Mother didn't stop them? It turns out she wasn't in the living room!"
As she was pondering, she saw her mother walking out of the downstairs restroom, frowning and looking unwell. Chen Lan quickly called out, "Mother, are you feeling unwell? Please tell me where it hurts so I can help!"
Her mother's face blushed a little with embarrassment. This left Chen Lan a bit bewildered. Was her mother feeling shy? No, more accurately, she was embarrassed.
This made Chen Lan even more curious. What could have made her mother so embarrassed? She glanced at the place her mother had just come from and suddenly understood.
So, she asked softly and mysteriously, "Mother, is your stomach bothering you? I'll get you some granules to dissolve and drink. Three times a day, morning, noon, and night. If you keep drinking this every day, you won't feel uncomfortable when that time of the month comes around again."
Her mother looked equally bewildered and asked softly, "Lan'er, what are you talking about? Who is coming? I was just feeling a little uncomfortable in the restroom. It's not as serious as you say, requiring medicine!"
As she spoke, she suddenly seemed to realize something, and her fair face turned even redder.
At this point, Chen Lan also realized that she had made a big mistake and quickly explained, "Mother, even if you're just a little uncomfortable, you still need to take some medicine to relieve it. Otherwise, if it lingers, it could become a big problem!"
Her mother asked uncertainly in a low voice, "Lan'er, is it really as serious as you say?"
Chen Lan nodded with certainty and said softly, "Mother, this is considered an illness. If we are sick, we should treat it promptly. We can't let a minor ailment that could be cured with a few doses of medicine become a major problem by delaying it. By then, it will truly be a disaster!"
Her mother was taken aback by Chen Lan's explanation and immediately agreed, "Lan'er, quickly get me some medicine. You're right, we must treat illnesses promptly."
Chen Lan asked her mother to keep an eye on the children and then turned to go to the kitchen. She ordered herbal pills from the system to improve intestinal health and promote bowel movements. She also rehydrated some Linden honey and silver ear mushrooms. She poured a cup of warm water, holding it in one hand and the herbal pills in the other, and walked out of the kitchen. She handed the pills to her mother and told her to take them as prescribed.
At this moment, the carousel's ride time was up, and it stopped. Chen Lan quickly stepped forward and asked the three children with a smile, "Jia Yao, Jia Hui, Little Bean, do you want to ride again!"
The three children were probably dizzy from the spinning. They hadn't fully registered what was happening yet, but their little heads were nodding, which was incredibly cute!
Seeing their reactions, Chen Lan knew they were dizzy. She immediately discussed with them, "Jia Hui, Jia Yao, Little Bean, are your heads feeling a bit dizzy! How about we rest for a while, have a snack, and then ride the big horses?"
The three little heads were still nodding. They were likely still dizzy, as they were quite young.
Chen Lan first lifted Jia Hui down and sat her on the sofa. As soon as she let go, Jia Hui tilted over and fell onto the sofa. Jia Hui's little hands were still tightly gripping the sofa cover, which startled her mother standing nearby and Chen Lan as well.
Her mother was about to reach out to help Jia Hui sit up, but Chen Lan quickly stopped her, "Mother, please don't help Jia Hui yet. She's just dizzy from spinning. Let her lie on the sofa for a while, and she'll be fine."
Then, she lifted Jia Yao and Little Bean down one by one and sat them on the sofa. As soon as she let go, both of them slumped onto the sofa, their little hands still gripping the sofa cover tightly.
Chen Lan couldn't help but chuckle at their dizzy and adorable appearance.
Her mother lightly tapped Chen Lan's arm with a chiding expression and whispered, "What kind of mother are you? Look how dizzy the children are, and you can still laugh?"
After that, she leaned over to look at each of the three children and asked softly, "Lan'er, will they be alright? Look, they're not moving at all!" Sudan Novel Network
Hearing her mother's words, Chen Lan couldn't remain calm either. She leaned over to look at each of the three children. She couldn't help but laugh again. They were indeed not moving at all, but they were all snoring, having fallen asleep after playing.
Chen Lan thought that this was the perfect opportunity to try out the newly bought swing-style children's crib. So, she whispered to her mother, "Mother, please don't worry about them. Let them sleep for a while. Could you help me watch them so they don't fall off the sofa? I'm going upstairs to get them some blankets." With that, she quickly ran upstairs.
She soon returned downstairs with blankets and covered the three little ones. Chen Lan then opened the system with her mind and took out the children's crib from the system's warehouse, preparing to assemble it. Following the assembly instructions on the system's screen, she quickly put it together.
She carefully checked each joint and the power switch, adjusted the swing frequency, laid out bedding on the crib, and then removed their thick jackets one by one and placed the three children into the crib to sleep. She turned on the power switch, and the electric crib began to sway gently and silently.
