364 Take the father and son to call "Su Taotao's" parents to wish them a happy new year
Although it is a holiday, Su Taotao and Fu Zhengtu are still busy. They occupy one end of the desk and are busy with their own work.
They smile at each other when stretching, and refill each other's cup when pouring water.
This is the first New Year for the couple.
If Chenchen had not come back, they would have continued to work.
No killing is allowed on the first day of the New Year. Everyone eats vegetarian food. Zhou Linglan grinds beans and orders tofu.
"Chenchen, do you want sweet tofu pudding or salty tofu pudding?" Su Taotao asked.
Chenchen was telling Baibai that his mother gave him a brother and sister. When he heard Su Taotao ask this, he let go of Baibai and ran over with his short legs: "I want to eat sweet~~"
Su Taotao asked Fu Yuanhang: "Where's Ah Hang?"
"I want to eat salty, I'll make it myself." Fu Yuanhang likes to add soy sauce and chili rings soaked by Zhou Linglan to the tofu pudding.
The factional dispute over salty and sweet tofu pudding was still a controversial topic until the 21st century.
Su Taotao herself can eat salty or sweet food, and has a high tolerance for food flavors. As long as the tofu pudding is good, anything is delicious.
Anyway, salty and sweet are acceptable. It depends on whether you want to eat salty or sweet on that day.
She also wants to eat salty today.
Fu Zhengtu didn't like sweets and also liked salty food.
So only Chenchen ate the sweet tofu pudding.
Su Taotao fried the remaining tofu pudding in a pan, beat a few eggs, and garnished it with some green onions. After it was set, she simmered it in a sauce made of salt, sugar and soy sauce for a few minutes. When the sauce was reduced, it was a delicacy that was worth even meat.
After lunch, the whole family gathered together to listen to the radio and play poker. There were
only a few days of leisure time throughout the year, and the whole family cherished it and had a lot of fun.
Dong Shengping's family did have a big fat boy on the first day of the Chinese New Year. The next morning, Dong Shengping and Hu Weiling's mother distributed red eggs to familiar neighbors to announce the good news.
After so many years of marriage, they finally welcomed their first child. Everyone was really happy for them.
They were especially grateful to Su Taotao. If Su Taotao hadn't provided Dong Shengping with a job and untied his knot, he wouldn't be where he is today.
"Do you plan to stay here permanently in the future, or do you want to go to the new factory?" Su Taotao originally planned to transfer him to the new factory.
The new factory is much busier than here, and it is difficult to take care of the family. He may not be able to go home every day. Considering that his child is still so young, Su Taotao thinks it may be more appropriate for him to stay here.
"I was just about to tell you about this. I'm sorry, Director Su, I want to apply to stay and can't go to the new factory with you to work hard."
He was really sorry. He had no way to repay Su Taotao for her kindness in recognizing him.
He once thought of fighting side by side with her, going to the new factory to be a pioneer, and working hard together. After the birth of the child, his state of mind changed dramatically, and the responsibilities that a father should shoulder suddenly became concrete.
He didn't want his wife to work so hard, nor did he want to miss every moment of his child's growth. Compared with making achievements, he found that he was more willing to be with his wife and children.
Su Taotao smiled and nodded: "It's okay, don't feel sorry, this place is suitable for retirement, life will be very stable, but the space is limited, you should understand what I mean."
Dong Shengping nodded: "I understand, I will be responsible for my choice, and I sincerely thank you."
If it weren't for Su Taotao's kindness, he might still be hiding in the small yard, dealing with bamboo every day, and might even have given up his marriage and his family.
It wouldn't be the situation today.
Su Taotao shook her head: "It's all work. If it's not you, it would be someone else. I should thank you for joining me and making my life easier."
They are all sensible people, so there is no need to say more about the occasion.
Chenchen and Fu Yuanhang received two red envelopes at once.
Chenchen was naturally very happy, but Fu Yuanhang was a little embarrassed, thinking that he was too old to accept red envelopes.
Su Taotao told him that he didn't ask for it actively, and if the elders gave it to him, he should just accept it like Mumu did.
Fu Yuanhang's psychological burden was not so heavy then.
On the second day of the Chinese New Year, the lion dance begins the new year.
The barbecue dinner was postponed to the fourth day of the Chinese New Year.
Today, the streets are deserted, and adults and children all gathered in the square to watch the lion dance performance.
Su Taotao actually likes this kind of traditional folk art, but she is disgusted by the fact that some towns in the 21st century would throw firecrackers into the lion's head to blow off the ears or eyes of the lion dancers. This is simply a bad habit, and she is very disgusted.
This is a pure artistic performance. Watching the lion dance jump onto the wooden stakes step by step, climb to the highest point, eat the red envelopes in one bite, and spit out the New Year's couplets, the whole audience applauded.
Chen Chen's palms were almost red from clapping, and he was still not satisfied after the performance.
Su Taotao still sweats for them.
It is not easy for people to make a living by selling art, or to say that it is not easy to have enough food and clothing these days.
She strives to make the factory bigger and stronger, and try to let more people have a stable job and eat a bowl of comfortable tea and rice.
After the lion dance performance, Su Taotao looked at the factory gate thoughtfully, and suddenly pinched the little hand of the child sitting on Fu Zhengtu's shoulder and said:
"Chenchen, let's call grandpa and grandma and wish them a happy new year."
Su Taotao had a shallow relationship with her parents in her previous life, and she didn't know how to get along with her parents.
For her, living in different places and doing well is actually the best model.
But she has replaced the body of the original owner after all, and her body and skin are given by others, so she should fulfill the basic filial piety.
Chenchen has no concept of grandpa and grandma, but he remembers that they gave him a gift, and he liked the cloth tiger very much. Now he takes it out from time to time to look at it.
"You can suck it, but I don't know what to say to them~~" the child said honestly.
Su Taotao pinched his little hand again:
"Chenchen, you don't need to say anything. Just call them grandpa and grandma, say Happy New Year to them, and treat them as elders like grandma."
Speaking of this, Fu Zhengtu felt even more guilty. They have been married for so many years, and Chenchen has grown up so much, but he has never visited Su Taotao's parents.
"This summer vacation, no matter how busy we are, we must take some time out and take Chenchen back to see the two elders." Fu Zhengtu said.
Su Taotao nodded: "Okay, the factory should be running smoothly by then, and it should be okay to go away for a week. The key is you, can you take some time out?"
Fu Zhengtu: "Chenchen, hold daddy tight."
Chenchen's little fleshy hands tightly hugged his father's head.
Fu Zhengtu freed one hand to hold Su Taotao's hand, and looked at Su Taotao with almost pious eyes: "I will arrange it, don't worry."
Su Taotao looked at him, then curved her eyebrows, smiled sweetly, and nodded: "Okay, then I'll wait for Fu Gong to arrange it." After
Su Taotao finished speaking, she took the father and son to call "Su Taotao's" parents to wish them a happy new year.
