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.
It was heartbreaking to see such a tiny baby cry. The quadruplets followed An Lan, trying to comfort their baby brother.
"Don't cry, little brother Guo Guo. Your big sister will give you some candy, okay?"
"No more hurt, be a good boy!"
"Pain, pain, go away!"
Seeing Guo Guo cry made the children feel sad, too; they empathized with his distress.
Lin Feng came out of the restroom. "What's wrong?"
With a pained and worried frown, An Lan said, "It's colic!"
Lin Feng held out his hands. "Give him to me. Let me see."
An Lan had no other choice, so she handed the baby to Lin Feng, hoping the super-dad could figure something out.
Lin Feng laid Guo Guo flat and began to massage his little tummy.
Before long, Guo Guo stopped crying and let out a surprisingly loud FART!
Everyone froze in surprise.
Guo Guo looked startled himself, his little face a mask of pure confusion.
The sight made everyone burst out laughing.
"Guo Guo should feel much better now," Lin Feng said as he showed An Lan his massage technique. "If he starts crying again, just do this."
An Lan realized his method was slightly different from what the doctor had taught her, but it was much more effective.
She was incredibly grateful. "Oh, Director Lin... Daddy Lin, I don't even know how to thank you!"
In her excitement, An Lan had a slip of the tongue.
Lin Feng just chuckled and shook his head. "No need to call me 'daddy'!"
「That night」
An Lan called to report that the baby wasn't in pain anymore. After that, Guo Guo didn't seem to have any more episodes of colic.
「In the blink of an eye, the day of the balance bike competition arrived.」
The night before, the teacher had sent the competition rules to the parents' group chat.
**Contestant Requirements:** Participants must bring their own balance bikes with a wheel diameter of 12 inches or less. The vehicles must have 3C safety certification. No transmission modifications are allowed, and all accessories such as bells, lights, and brakes must be removed. Other parts, including tires, wheelsets, handlebars, stems, and seats, may be modified, but parents must ensure the vehicle is safe before the competition.
**Required Safety Gear:** All contestants must properly wear a helmet, knee pads, and elbow pads. The gear must be the correct size to prevent it from falling off during the race. Full-face helmets and gloves are highly recommended. Any child not wearing the required protective gear will be barred from entering the competition area.
**Guardian Responsibilities and Disclaimers:** Contestants and their accompanying guardians are responsible for their own personal belongings; the event organizers are not liable for any loss or damage. Guardians must ensure their child is in good health. If a pre-existing medical condition is concealed, the organizers will not be held responsible for any consequences. If staff discover a child competing while ill, the organizers reserve the right to disqualify them. The organizers will purchase relevant insurance for all registered contestants before the event begins. In the event of an accident within the competition area, the insurance company will handle all subsequent procedures. Guardians and their families pledge not to hold other contestants, the organizers, the venue management, or related personnel legally responsible.
The organizers have the right to use any videos and photos from the event for broadcast and promotional purposes. In case of severe weather like heavy rain or strong winds, the organizers reserve the right to postpone or relocate the competition.
Guardians must supervise their children at all times. Riding balance bikes on any path or road outside the designated racetrack is strictly forbidden. The guardian will be held fully responsible for any risks or consequences arising from such actions.
The parents in the group replied one by one, "Received!"
The venue was bustling with excitement when they arrived. The three Huskies could barely contain their eagerness to get going. Zhang Yuxi watched them while Lin Feng went to sign the participation agreement. Its contents were more or less the same as the rules the teacher had sent out the previous night.
The competition was divided into age groups, and the quadruplets were in the three-year-old division. There were fifty-five contestants in their group.
After signing, the teacher in charge of the three-year-old division spoke into a microphone.
"To all the parents accompanying our competitors, I have a few instructions for you! Please listen carefully. We will explain the rules to the children shortly, but you parents also need to abide by certain rules, so please pay close attention! Your improper actions could render your child's hard work meaningless! I'll say it again—it's very crowded here, so please listen carefully!
"First, when the race starts, parents are not to help. The contestants must start on their own. You must stay behind the starting platform; you are not allowed on it with your child. We strictly prohibit any physical contact from parents at the start, such as pushing your child or their bike. Pay very close attention to this!
"Second, regarding guidance during the race. Parents in the two-year-old division are allowed to guide their children, but this is not permitted for any other age group. Remember, you are in the three-year-old division! Parents may walk along the outside of the track to guide their child, but you are forbidden from running onto the track itself. Actions like screaming, loud shouting, or frantic waving are also prohibited, as they can interfere with a child's judgment and endanger their safety. Any parent who enters the track to run alongside their child will be considered to have voluntarily forfeited their child's result for that race.
"Third, if a contestant falls or stops moving during the race, our staff will handle the situation promptly. Parents must not enter the track on their own initiative. If your assistance is truly needed, you may only enter the track after being invited by a staff member. Remember that! Furthermore, if a contestant is proceeding extremely slowly or exhibiting negative behavior like crying, crashing into others, or riding in the wrong direction, our staff have the right to help the child finish the race quickly or signal a parent to remove them from the track to avoid disrupting the event.
"If a parent enters the track without permission and affects the race, the referee has the right to issue penalties based on the situation, including disqualifying the contestant or scheduling a rerun later."
The teacher covered a lot of points. Some of the parents had been to competitions before and already knew the rules, but this was new to Lin Feng, so he listened with extra focus.
Holding a megaphone, the teacher asked, "For the new parents, was all of that clear?"
The new parents shouted back, "Yes, crystal clear!"
The teacher nodded, satisfied. "Good. Now I'll hand out the race numbers. When I call your child's name, please come forward to collect it."
"Lin Zhenxuan, number 3001! Lin Zhenxuan, number 3001! Parent, please come get the number!"
"Zuo Xia, number 3002! Zuo Xia, number 3002! Parent, please come get the number!"
"Lin Pingping (Big Treasure), number 3004."
"Lin Yuanyuan (Third Treasure), number 3007. Lin Tuantuan (Second Treasure), number 3014. Lin Anan (Fourth Treasure), number 3021!"
