355 Actually I know, but I want to hear it from you

Fu Zhengtu and his friends queued for half a day, and in the end each of them only bought four apples.

Apples cannot be grown in the south, so they are shipped from the north. The quantity is limited, and each family can only buy four apples. They also need to stamp their food bills to prevent others from taking advantage of the situation.

Fu Zhengtu did not expect that four apples would take up so much of his precious time.

The year-end benefits of their unit were actually not bad, and they also distributed a few apples and pears. If he had known that it would be so difficult to buy them, he would have exchanged

some with his colleagues who went back home for the New Year. Fortunately, there was no limit on the purchase of local fruits such as tangerines, oranges, and bananas, so he bought a few more.

Several male comrades first moved the "trophies" to the car and then went to the state-owned hotel to meet up with the female comrades.

Su Taotao and her friends had already ordered the dishes and were waiting for the male comrades.

The state-owned hotel opened at 11 o'clock, and people were lining up early. Fortunately, Aunt Zhong had the foresight to come and line up early, otherwise, who knows when they would have to wait to eat.

There were so many of them that the waiter could only give them the largest table for eight people. Chenchen and Pangpang ate the whole meal in their father's arms.

I don't know if the chef didn't perform well today, or if the food in this restaurant is not good. Even people like Pangpang and Mumu who are not picky eaters think it is not good. Everyone barely filled their stomachs and prepared to go home.

After leaving the state-owned hotel, Li Shouwang said very embarrassedly: "I want to buy some clothes for Pang Pang, why don't you go back first..."

"No problem," Su Taotao shook her head and said, "I haven't been to the mall in the city either. It's still early, and I want to go shopping."

Su Taotao said to the two children: "Chenchen and Pang Pang won't go. It's too crowded inside and you will be squeezed flat. Can you stay in the car and rest?"

The two children have the habit of taking a nap at noon, and they are a little drowsy after eating.

Naturally, they have no objection.

"I won't go..."

"I won't go..."

Aunt Zhong and Zhou Linglan, each holding a child, said almost at the same time.

Aunt Zhong said, "Neither of us wants to go. Let's watch the children in the car."

Dong Shengping said, "I won't go either."

The children's things have been prepared for more than half a year, and Hu Weiling's things are almost ready. His family doesn't lack anything.

Su Taotao didn't want to go, but just wanted to give Li Shouwang a step, so she said, "Brother Li, you go in first. Even if we go in together, we will be squeezed out in a while. Let's go back here and wait after we buy our own things."

Li Shouwang nodded, said nothing, and got up to go to the mall first.

Su Taotao also reminded Fu Yuanhang and Mumu not to run around. She and Fu Zhengtu reached out their hands tacitly and walked forward holding each other.

Aunt Zhong looked at their backs and smiled, "They have such a good relationship. They are a perfect match made in heaven."

Zhou Linglan was also very pleased. She was a little worried before coming. After all, her eldest son's life was work, and he was not talkative and didn't know how to make people happy.

She was really worried that Su Taotao would not be able to stand him.

Now she is not worried at all.

Both of them have stable personalities and are very compatible. Let alone quarrels, they don't even seem to have different opinions.

Su Taotao and Fu Zhengtu actually have very little time to be alone.

Not to mention Chenchen, the little light bulb, usually he is either busy or she is busy, and it is a luxury for the two of them to take a walk hand in hand like now.

Su Taotao sometimes wonders what love is and what love is.

At this moment, she suddenly realized that love means that even in a noisy crowd, just holding the other person's hand, you can feel the other person's heartbeat.

No matter how many people there are or how noisy the crowd is, there may only be each other in your eyes.

Su Taotao suddenly pinched Fu Zhengtu's palm and looked up at him.

Fu Zhengtu lowered his eyes to look at her, frowned, and then pulled her in front of him: "Just go forward, I'll be behind you."

In the crowded crowd, Fu Zhengtu used his arms to circle a small space for Su Taotao that belonged to her.

Su Taotao stopped: "Since there is nothing to buy, let's go back."

Fu Zhengtu didn't ask anything, replied "OK", and took her to the other side and walked out.

The couple finally left the crowd.

Su Taotao breathed in the fresh air and suddenly asked Fu Zhengtu softly: "Fu Zhengtu, I seem to have never asked you whether you like me or not."

She used to think it was unimportant and tried it with the mentality of "just give it a try". As the New Year is coming to an end, people's emotions are somewhat volatile. Today, she suddenly wants an answer.

Fu Zhengtu looked into Su Taotao's eyes and said seriously after a while: "I thought you didn't need to ask this question."

The tacit understanding between them far exceeded his imagination. The kind of fit from body to soul does not need to be expressed in words.

Su Taotao said: "Actually, I know, but I want to hear you say it in person today."

Fu Zhengtu looked at her deeply and led her to a more secluded place.

"Taotao, the word 'like' is too shallow. You are my lover, my family, and an indispensable part of my life.

I'm just sorry that I have too little time to spend with you."

But in fact, compared to before she came to the base, the current working state is already the easiest for Fu Zhengtu. No matter how busy he is, he must go home every day, must see the child, and must hold her to sleep. There

used to be only work in his life, and the dormitory was dispensable to him because he often slept in the laboratory.

The rest room in the laboratory has his toiletries and change of clothes. It is common for him not to go back to the dormitory for ten days or half a month.

Now he finds that it is not possible. She and this family are also a very important part of his life, and have become as important as his work.

"It's a lot," Su Taotao looked at him. "You are so busy at work, but I can see you every day except when you are on business trips. I eat the breakfast you buy every day. You also take time to help me with the laundry and housework, and do so many things for Chenchen at home. You are involved in every step of Chenchen's growth.

You are a good husband and an even better father."

The female comrades at the base envy her, and the children at the base envy Chenchen, which shows how successful he is in these two identities.

The couple looked at each other. If the occasion was not wrong, Fu Zhengtu would really like to hug her.

Su Taotao felt the same way, but the occasion was really wrong.

"It's rare for you to come out. What kind of New Year's gift do you want? Let's go buy one." This was their first New Year together.

Su Taotao shook her head and squeezed Fu Zhengtu's hand: "I have received the best New Year's gift."

The best New Year's gift is that you said that the word "like" is too shallow. I am your lover, your family, and an indispensable part of your life.
