193 Su Taotao said, and resolutely walked towards the gate.
Su Taotao came back very quickly, and deliberately slowed down when passing by the banyan tree, so that the gossiping aunts and uncles could see her going to the commune to buy watermelons.
"Su Zhiqing, I heard that a little ancestor came to your house, and wanted to eat watermelon, braised pork, and cold potatoes, is that right?"
Su Taotao smiled and said, "Don't say that, the child is fine, we want to buy him, it's a rare trip, and we want him to eat better."
Mumu, I can only help you here.
The aunt curled her lips: "That's a nice thing to say, city kids are just coquettish."
"Yes, I heard that they are still picking sweet potatoes in their private plots."
"By the way, they've been gone for a while, why haven't they come back? Did they go to the river to catch fish again?"
...
Su Taotao's heart sank, hoping nothing would go wrong.
She didn't show it on her face: "Haven't they come back yet? I'll go to the private plot to take a look."
Su Taotao said, and quickly pedaled her bicycle towards the private plot.
The private plot was not far from the banyan tree, and it only took a few minutes to ride a bicycle.
After lunch break, the members started to go to work one after another, and Su Taotao met many people on the way.
But Su Taotao has always been aloof, and everyone is used to it, and they don't mind whether they say hello or not.
Su Taotao arrived at the roadside and saw that no one was in her family's private plot. She parked her bike and walked towards the mountain.
At this time, everyone was busy going to work and would not go to the private plot. In such a small space, it was clear that there was no trace of the two children.
"Xiaohang, Mumu..."
In the air-raid shelter, Fu Yuanhang and Mumu looked at each other.
"My sister-in-law is here. I'll go out and check."
"Don't worry, my sister-in-law called me. There must be no one else around."
After Fu Yuanhang finished speaking, he and Mumu went out of the air-raid shelter together.
"Sister-in-law/Sister-in-law Taozi..."
Su Taotao breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the two children were safe. She rubbed their heads on the left and right, and raised her chin towards the direction of the air-raid shelter:
"Is that where he is hiding?"
The backbone was here, and the two children were much calmer.
Fu Yuanhang nodded and lowered his voice: "Yes, we caught another bad guy."
Su Taotao pursed her lips: "This is not a place to talk, you come back with us first."
Fu Yuanhang shook his head: "I'm worried that they have accomplices. Uncle Li has a broken leg and can't beat him. When will the police come?"
Su Taotao shook her head: "I don't know. If we stay here, our targets will be too obvious. The police also need time to deploy. We can't make a fuss before the police arrive. You stay here too long, and so many eyes in the village are watching you."
"What should we do now?" Mumu asked.
Su Taotao said: "Untie the watermelon and carry it up, take it to the stream to soak, and then you pretend to catch fish while keeping an eye on them."
The two children looked at each other, nodded, and understood.
They quickly went down to the roadside and untied the watermelons on the bicycles. A member who was not much older than them passed by and said, "Tsk tsk!" "Such a big watermelon? Where did you take it?"
"The stream water near the mountain is cool, so it tastes better after it is soaked in the stream." Mumu said.
The member said happily, "You city people know how to eat it. We usually take it home and soak it in the well water. The well water at home is also cool."
Mumu said, "I saw there were fish in the stream, so I caught some fish."
The member gave Mumu a thumbs up and said, "You know what I'm talking about. I'll tell you a secret. There are also stone snails in the stream, which are much more delicious than field snails."
Mumu blinked her big eyes and looked at him, "Really?"
"Of course it's true."
"Okay, I'll go and feel it. Thanks, brother. I'll give you a piece when we open the watermelon later."
The member said happily, "I guess we won't be able to eat it. I have to wait until the sun goes down before I finish work."
Mumu dug and dug, and took out a piece of coconut candy produced by the Su Taotao Factory and gave it to him: "Our local specialty, this factory is very famous, and the candies produced are very delicious. This is coconut candy, which is hard to find in our area. I wouldn't be willing to give it to ordinary people."
The member was flattered and took it with both hands, "Here, for me? Thank you."
Mumu waved his hands: "No big deal, it won't delay your work."
...
Before long, everyone in the production team knew that the little ancestor from the city in Su Taotao's family was going to soak watermelons in the stream and catch fish and snails!
In addition, the "xx Base Affiliated Food Factory" is a well-known leading enterprise in their area. The coconut candy produced there is so good that you can't buy it even if you have money. It's so delicious that you can swallow it with your tongue!
The member showed off the coconut candy everywhere like a tribute. Not to mention the entire production team, the whole village knew about it at once.
Mumu is worthy of being Aunt Zhong's biological son. Ten Fu Yuanhangs can't catch up with his social skills.
Su Taotao took off her shoes, soaked her snow-white little feet in the cold stream, and the heat in her body dissipated instantly.
The two children originally planned to play catch fish and snails, but they didn't expect that "the fake became real". Fu Yuanhang built a small dam with straw and mud to block the stream.
He opened a small hole on the side to let the stream flow out, and then found a broken dustpan to block it. Unexpectedly, some stupid fish really fell into the trap.
Fu Yuanhang caught one, and Mu Mu took it to the "small fish pond" surrounded by sand and had a lot of fun.
He completely forgot about the surveillance.
Unknowingly, the sun was almost setting. Su Taotao watched for so long, but didn't find anything unusual. It was about time, so she called the two children to go home.
"It's almost time, let's go home."
Mumu and Fu Yuanhang were touching the snails and were still not satisfied: "Sister Taozi, why don't you go back first and we'll watch for a while."
Su Taotao shook her head: "No, after the sun goes down, no matter what happens outside, you can't come out."
Mumu understood Su Taotao. She was not strong, but she always kept her word.
One after another, members of the cooperative began to come to water the crops in their private plots or pick vegetables to cook for dinner. When they saw Fu Yuanhang and Mumu catch so many small fish and snails, they all looked at them with envy.
Especially when they saw Mumu holding up the big watermelon that had been soaked in water, they were extremely envious.
So, the whole village soon knew that Su Taotao had taken the two children to play by the stream for the whole afternoon.
Alas, people who don't have to work are just bored.
When Su Taotao returned home, Zhou Linglan had already prepared the pig's trotters and frogs, and even the side dishes and rice.
Chen Chen hadn't seen them for a long time, and when he came back, he was like a little tail, hugging this and rubbing that.
"Mom~~ I have taken good care of the house~~"
Su Taotao hugged the child and kissed her: "Mom knows, Chenchen is the best. After dinner, Chenchen, little uncle and uncle Mumu will take a bath and go into the room to play. Mom is going out to do something and may be back late."
Fu Yuanhang and Mumu said in unison: "Sister-in-law/Sister-in-law Taozi, we also want to help."
Su Taotao shook her head: "This kind of help can only be done when you grow up. Going now will only make things worse. Xiaohang and Chenchen should remember when they go back. Learn martial arts from Uncle Dong. Mumu can also learn if he is interested. When he becomes strong, he can despise any enemy. "
Fu Yuanhang nodded: "I will, sister-in-law." Fu Yuanhang took out the map he had drawn in advance, "Sister-in-law, this is the map of the mountain, let me explain it to you..."
After Su Taotao was completely familiar with the terrain and the entrances and exits, Fu Yuanhang said: "Uncle Li said they were carrying goods, so there is only one way down the mountain, which is here."
Su Taotao marked it.
Fu Yuanhang said again: "In fact, it is best for me to follow."
Su Taotao shook her head: "You forgot what I just said again."
Fu Yuanhang shook his head: "I didn't forget."
Mumu didn't know what they were talking about.
While Su Taotao was cooking, Fu Yuanhang began to popularize martial arts to Mumu.
Mumu said he wanted to join and must practice his skills to beat the bad guys in the future.
Speaking of which, his brother is also very powerful.
Su Taotao's ginger pork knuckle and stir-fried frog were very delicious. When they were served, the sun had already set.
The whole family took advantage of the last afterglow to eat, and the two children who didn't eat enough at noon ate especially happily.
When they were halfway through the meal, there was a knock on the door.
Su Taotao stood up slowly and said to them: "You guys should do whatever you need to do as usual. I will take good care of myself. Don't worry about me, Mom. The house is left to you. I'll be back soon."
Su Taotao said, and resolutely walked towards the door...
