Chapter 119 Wait for me tonight
Old Wu hurried forward to take the big watermelon.
"Grandpa Wu, please soak the watermelon in water, we will cut it and eat it later."
Old Wu looked at Old Tang.
Old Tang made a gesture, and Old Wu took one of the big watermelons in to soak it in cool water.
"You can take this back to eat later. Old Wu and I can't eat so many cold things." Old Tang said.
Su Taotao originally thought so. Her master Fu hadn't eaten the watermelon yet, so she nodded: "Okay."
Old Tang liked Su Taotao's temperament the most. One is one, two is two, open and honest, never shy. He didn't like to entertain those empty-headed people, which made him exhausted.
Time was very tight, Su Taotao took the time to talk to Mr. Tang about Fu Yuanhang's study. Mr. Tang was very satisfied with Fu Yuanhang and decided on his study time and progress.
Anyway, Mr. Tang had to go out for morning exercise every day. No matter whether Su Taotao came or not, he would go to the central square on time on weekend mornings to wait for the first bus from the island.
The watermelon that Su Taotao bought was too big. The two old people and Chen Chen couldn't eat too much. The main force was Su Taotao and Fu Yuanhang, but they couldn't eat all of it. In the end, they only ate about half of it.
Su Taotao told the two old people to eat the remaining half today. If they couldn't finish it, they could give some to their neighbors. They must not leave it for tomorrow.
After eating the watermelon, Su Taotao's family had to go back, otherwise they would miss the last bus back to the island.
The watermelon was too heavy, so Old Wu insisted on sending them over to take the bus, and he also wanted to stay with the two children for a while. As
soon as they left, the whole yard became quiet. Old Tang always liked quietness, otherwise he would not be single until now, but now looking at their backs, he suddenly felt a kind of loneliness, and hoped that next Sunday would come soon.
Or, what if he told Su Taotao that he was willing to go to the island to enlighten the children in the Yuhong class?
Let him think about it carefully.
At this time, Chenchen, who was lying on his uncle's back, suddenly turned around and saw that Old Tang was still standing at the door. The child grinned with his millet teeth showing, and waved his little fleshy hand to Old Tang.
Old Tang raised his skinny hand, waved it like Chenchen did, and turned back to the house.
Back in the living room, there were two food coupons on the dining table.
Old Tang picked up the food coupons and looked at them, then sighed. Perhaps only parents like this could raise such good children.
Back on the island, Chenchen first thought of his brother Baibai who was still at Dongdong's house. He went to pick up Baibai without even entering the house.
Su Taotao said, "Go into the house and put your things down first. Mom will cut some watermelon for you to take back."
The two children went upstairs to put their things down. Su Taotao went into the kitchen and cut the watermelon into two halves, big and small. She kept the small half for herself, and divided the big half into two, giving one to Xia Zhiqiu and one to Aunt Zhong.
The watermelon was so big that Fu Yuanhang had a hard time carrying it with one hand, but luckily it was only a few steps away.
Chenchen carried Baibai's special small basket in one hand and led his uncle to pick up Baibai with the other hand.
Su Taotao first cut the rind of the remaining half of the watermelon, cut the watermelon flesh into pieces and put it in a bowl, and kept the rind for later use
. They started to prepare dinner. The family didn't buy vegetables today. Su Taotao soaked some dried black fungus and dried day lily brought from the village in hot water, and soaked some bean curd in cold water. She planned to make a mixed salad, boil some vermicelli, let it cool, and mix it. Eating such refreshing food in summer makes people feel much more comfortable.
The point is actually the watermelon. It tastes like an old watermelon, with a sandy and sweet flesh, but the skin is a bit thick. Su Taotao liked the watermelon skin at the time and planned to use it to make a salad.
The green skin was scraped clean, leaving the white part to be shredded, and a little salt was added to kill some of the water, and then washed and used for salad. In this way, no water will come out when mixing, and the salad skin will be crispy and refreshing.
At this time, the importance of growing green onions, ginger and garlic at the doorstep is reflected. If you grow them at the doorstep, just go out and pick a handful. Without these side dishes, the salad will lose a lot of flavor.
I could only mix a non-spicy one for Chenchen and Fu Yuanhang, and she and Fu Zhengtu mixed one with dried peppers and dried chilies.
When Fu Zhengtu got home, the two children had not returned yet.
He walked into the kitchen carrying a box, and Su Taotao just poured a little hot oil on the peppercorns, chili peppers and minced garlic to complete the last step.
The collision of these spices and the aroma stimulated by the high temperature attacked Fu Zhengtu's sense of smell. No matter how strong his willpower was, he couldn't help swallowing his saliva.
"What is this?" Su Taotao asked.
"Oysters, don't you want to grill them?" Fu Zhengtu replied.
Su Taotao planned to have a vegetarian meal tonight, but she didn't expect Fu Zhengtu to bring back a box of oysters. She flipped through it and found that they were particularly large, and each one was estimated to be more than half a pound.
Su Taotao couldn't help but stand on tiptoe, holding Fu Zhengtu's face, and kissed him hard on the lips, and her little mouth started to act coquettishly unconsciously:
"Fu Zhengtu, you are so awesome. I only had a bite of steamed bun at noon, and now I'm so hungry that I can eat a cow. I could only eat vegetarian food at night, and you actually brought my favorite oysters. How could you be so nice?"
Fu Zhengtu frowned and put down the oysters, then held her waist and caressed her, kissed her back, and asked, "Why did you only eat a bite of steamed bun?"
Su Taotao said, "The training ground is too hot, and I can't eat anything."
Fu Zhengtu was worried that the children would come in at any time, so he kissed her on the corner of her lips again, and let go of her waist. He didn't say anything like "it's too hard to practice driving". She would complete whatever she decided to do no matter how hard or tiring it was. There was no need to say these scenes.
"Go and take a rest. You direct and I'll do it." Fu Zhengtu's cooking skills are at the level of being able to cook food that is edible. Without Su Taotao's direction, if the food is not to her liking, she will probably only eat a few bites.
Su Taotao took a piece of watermelon and fed it to him: "It's very sweet, try it."
Fu Zhengtu took a bite from her hand.
"Is it sweet?" Su Taotao asked. Fu Zhengtu
nodded: "Sweet."
Su Taotao took a bite at the place he had just bitten and nodded: "It is very sweet, sweeter than the one opened in Tang's hometown."
Su Taotao's skin was white and glowing. After a day of sunbathing at the training ground, her cheeks were slightly red, which made her look even more beautiful.
Su Taotao's lips, which were almost the same color as the watermelon flesh, were stained with some bright red watermelon juice, a drop of which playfully overflowed from the corner of her mouth. Fu Zhengtu approached, pinched her chin and left jawline with his palms, and lowered his head: "How sweet is it? Let me taste it again."
His voice was so low that it was almost a whisper.
A warm breath came, and the lips and tongue that fell on the corner of Su Taotao's lips were also hot. They left after a light touch, and the drop of watermelon juice had already reached someone's mouth.
Fu Zhengtu looked at Su Taotao deeply with his deep and narrow eyes: "Well, very sweet."
His voice was so hoarse that it made people think about it.
After Su Taotao reacted, her ears turned red. She bit her lip and glared at Fu Zhengtu. She was thinking about how to return the favor when the sound of the door being pushed open came -
"Mom~~ your Chenchen~~ and the little uncle~~ went to pick up Baibai~~ and came back~~"
Su Taotao: "..."
She pointed at Fu Zhengtu and said in a whisper: "Wait for me at night."
Fu Zhengtu raised the corner of his lips slightly and replied to her: "Well, I'll wait."
