After Guo Guo finished his milk, An Lan patted his back to burp him. Once that was done, she handed the baby to Zhang Yuxi. "Yu Xi, could you hold him for a bit? I'm going to eat another peach!"
Zhang Yuxi played with Guo Guo while the quadruplets gathered around, chattering to him.
"Guo Guo, our peach tree at home grew lots and lots of peaches!"
"When you get bigger, I'll take you to pick them, okay?"
"You're growing so slowly. Can you grow up faster? Then you can play with me..."
Just as they were talking, Guo Guo started to cry! An Lan quickly put down her peach and took the baby from Zhang Yuxi's arms.
"Oh, there, there. Mommy's got you, Mommy's got you!" she cooed. "Does your little tummy hurt again? Let Mommy give it a rub!"
An Lan soothed him while gently massaging his stomach with the technique a doctor had taught her. It helped a little, but the crying didn't stop.
