Chapter 112: Su Taotao is too accommodating to her children

Su Taotao has basically completed her tasks for today. While it is still early, she pushed Chenchen to the market to buy dinner.

The children still want to eat shrimp today. In fact, in this kind of weather, if you buy shrimp now and leave it in the afternoon, without a refrigerator, it will usually go bad, so Su Taotao cooks seafood at noon and basically does not cook at night.

Su Taotao discussed with the children: "Let's go to the cafeteria to eat shrimp later, okay? It will go bad if it is left in the evening."

Chenchen suddenly exclaimed "Wow~~" and pointed to a place not far away with great excitement on his short legs, "Mom~~Big shrimp~~"

Su Taotao looked over along his little fleshy hand and blinked. There were actually big lobsters today. This was the first time she had seen them since she came to the island.

Su Taotao pushed the kid over and asked, "Hello, how much is this lobster?"

The stall owner said, "The smaller ones are two yuan each, and the larger ones are three yuan each."

With these prices... Su Taotao wanted to take all the lobsters away!

These days, a chicken costs two or three yuan, but a lobster that weighs at least one pound only costs two or three yuan.

In the end, Su Taotao didn't dare to show off too much, and said to Chenchen, "Chenchen, this is called a lobster. You can keep it until the afternoon. Pick one you like."

Chenchen looked at this one and that one, and raised his head to look at his mother: "I like them all~~"

Su Taotao: "..." As expected, they are her biological children, she likes them all, but it's a pity that she can't buy so many.

It's a rare sight, and it's not something she eats often, so Su Taotao thought for a moment and said, "Then pick two."

A kind-hearted lady nearby couldn't help but remind her, "Don't count the price when you buy this one, it's just that the shell looks big, but there's actually not much meat on it. It's better to eat a chicken than a small shrimp, which is only 40 or 50 cents a pound, with a thin shell and lots of meat."

Su Taotao thought to herself, if you knew the price of large lobsters in the 21st century, you wouldn't say that.

But now she can only say: "The children like it, it's okay to buy it once in a while."

The grandmother waved her hands and said: "You young people are not good at managing the family. You are too indulgent to the children."

In fact, in the planned economy era, materials were scarce, and most people had money in their hands but no coupons to buy things. After a few years of reform and opening up, the economy was booming, and prices soared. The money in your hands would quickly depreciate.

In fact, Su Taotao thinks it is harmless to treat yourself and your family better within your ability while the money in your hands is valuable.

But her consumption concept is not accepted by most people in this hard and simple era.

She won't show off too much, and will try to live her own life, but she won't force others to agree with her or change their ideas.

In fact, the aunt just heard the voice and talked in a hurry, without even seeing who they were. Then she turned her head to look at Chenchen and took a breath of cool air: "Wow, your baby is really handsome."

When she saw Chenchen's unique "mount", the aunt reacted: "Are you Engineer Fu's baby?"

Chenchen blinked and looked at her innocently and helplessly.

The aunt raised her head and looked at Su Taotao, and took another breath of cool air: "Oh my goodness, Su, Director Su..."

Su Taotao: "..." Not yet, everyone!

Su Taotao could only smile politely: "Hello."

The aunt swallowed: "I, I was just saying casually, lobsters are good, lobsters are good, you buy them, you buy them..."

Su Taotao smiled at her again and said to Chenchen: "Chenchen, pick the lobsters."

Chenchen smiled and picked the two largest lobsters. He pinched its tentacles with his little fleshy hands. When the lobsters moved, he was so scared that he quickly retracted his hands.

He looked at Su Taotao aggrievedly: "Mom~~"

Su Taotao pinched the lobster's head and held it up to show Chenchen: "It's okay, the tentacles that Chenchen just touched are the lobster's tentacles. This way, it won't bite you if you hold its head or lift its head."

Su Taotao gently touched the lobster's big pliers and said to Chenchen: "It's okay to tie it like this, but you can't touch it when you loosen it. It will hurt if it pinches you." Chenchen

listened carefully and nodded continuously after listening: "Hello, Mom~~"

The uncle who sells seafood has been listening to their conversation, and he is secretly amazed in his heart. He has never seen a parent who is so used to his children and so patient with them, but he has also rarely seen such an obedient child.

It is said that the children of Mr. Fu's family are smart and can recite a book of Three Character Classic in one ride. In my opinion, it is actually the parents who teach them well.

Even so, the news that Su Taotao is too used to children and bought two large lobsters in one go to make the children happy spread throughout the family area.

When they arrived at the cafeteria, Aunt Zhong and Xia Zhiqiu finished their Q&A session.

Dongdong was very happy to see Chenchen coming, and he chattered with his friends about the good news that he would go to school with him tomorrow.

But Chenchen said, "No class tomorrow~~"

Dongdong was stunned and asked him, "Why?"

Chenchen said, "Sunday~~"

Don't ask how the smart child knew it, he just knew it.

Dongdong felt sorry: "What should I do? I want to go to class with you."

Chenchen took out his new toy conch and shared it with his friend. He said in a baby voice: "On Monday~~it's fine~~"

Dongdong asked again: "When is Monday?"

Chenchen: "The day after Sunday~~is~~Monday~~"

Chenchen put the conch on Dongdong's ear: "Listen~~the sound of the sea "Sound~~"

Dongdong was surprised: "Wow, it's true!"

Xia Zhiqiu, who was listening to the conversation between the two children, was stunned and asked Su Taotao: "How did you teach Chenchen? How does he know everything?"

Su Taotao smiled and said: "Xiaohang told him, and he remembered it himself."

The two uncles and nephews chatted before going to bed at night. They had to chat for a long time every night before they went to sleep. Fu Yuanhang told him everything.

Xia Zhiqiu: "Speaking of which, I haven't been to the beach yet. I will take Dongdong to pick up conchs some other day."

Su Taotao said: "The conchs were picked up by Fu Zhengtu when he took him swimming in the morning. He is so precious."

Xia Zhiqiu sighed, comparing himself to others makes people angry: "Our Lao Zhang gets up on time every day. Several times he almost couldn't catch the bus, let alone catch the sea."

Aunt Zhong said, "Our Lao Mo is the same. They are actually very tired at work. To be honest, only Zhengtu exercises every day. The previous base was not by the sea, so he went running every day. You can tell how self-disciplined he is by looking at his well-maintained body."

Su Taotao thought to herself, Engineer Fu's body is really good. Alas, I can't think about this in broad daylight.

"By the way, I have a candidate for the security guard position. If he can be confirmed, there is no need to recruit."

Aunt Zhong said, "There were also several people interested in this position this morning. One of them is a retired soldier."

Su Taotao said, "My candidate is a retired soldier who is missing an arm and has made first-class merit. I want to give him priority. If he doesn't want to come, let's talk about it later."

As soon as Su Taotao said this, Aunt Zhong, who knows everything about the base, knew who it was.

"The person you are talking about is Dong Shengping, right? He has not been on the island for long. He is very strong, tall and has a shaved head. He is clean and energetic, but he doesn't like to talk much. His character is impeccable. I once saw him helping Mr. Chen, who sells pancakes, push his cart uphill. It's a pity that such a good person is missing an arm."

Su Taotao thought for a while and asked Aunt Zhong: "Do you know where he lives?"

Aunt Zhong looked at her in surprise: "You haven't seen him? He lives in the same alley as you. His home is at the end of your row. By the way, the security guard at the elementary school is his uncle, and they live together."

Su Taotao: "..." Aunt Zhong, you know everything about this base. Is there anything else on the island that you don't know?
