Chapter 26 You have successfully offended me

Su Taotao really can't stand the word "letter". When she hears this word, she thinks of Chenchen's irritating cheap father.

"Chenchen wants to ask if mom has received Dad's letter when she went to the county town today?"

Chenchen shook his head and raised his little paw high: "To~~Daddy~~letter~~"

Su Taotao grabbed the little guy's paw and took a look, and even pulled it to her nose and smelled it: "What is this?"

Chenchen tilted his little head: "Ni Ni~~"

Zhou Linglan and Fu Yuanhang knew that they could not hide it anymore, looked at each other, and decided to tell the truth.

"Taotao, I asked Ah Hang to write a letter to his elder brother today, asking him to give a definite answer as to when he can come back."

Su Taotao was stunned for a moment, let go of the boy's hand and turned back to the room.

Zhou Linglan and Fu Yuanhang looked at each other and saw the tension in each other's eyes. What did it mean? Was he angry?

After a while, Su Taotao took out the letter and stood in front of them: "No need to ask, I received it in the middle of the month, and he said that he would return to the house to be determined." Zhou

Linglan picked it up and took a look, confirming that it was the handwriting of her eldest son. She looked at Su Taotao's face again and frowned for the first time: "Taotao, don't be angry. Mom will definitely scold him when he comes back this time. He didn't come back, and he didn't even want to write two more words. I don't know who he inherited this temper from."

Fu Yuanhang looked at the two words and wanted to defend his eldest brother, but what should he say? Should he say that his eldest brother was used to being frugal with words and kept it short? Or should he say that his eldest brother was so busy that he could only spare a few seconds to write two words? No matter which reason he gave, it was not valid. In the end, he pinched the corner of his clothes and said nothing.

After such a long time, Su Taotao was no longer angry. What was she angry about? What can two people who have no emotional foundation say? Moreover, they have never even met each other, so why force it.

"It's okay, Mom, you don't have to send the letter, just wait until he comes back." What Su Taotao wanted to say was that it was useless to send it, at most she would just receive a reply with a few more words. She was angry that he knew about Chenchen's existence but refused to ask more questions, and she was furious for Chenchen.

After Su Taotao finished speaking, she went to tease Chenchen again. Others didn't care about Chenchen, but she cared about him even more.

Zhou Linglan and Fu Yuanhang looked at each other worriedly.

After all, the letter was not sent, and Fu Zhengtu was out of contact again.

The villagers were extremely curious when they saw Su Taotao go to the county every market day. Not to mention other people, even Uncle Niu was extremely curious. However, Su Taotao smiled all day long. Today she stuffed him with some candies, tomorrow she gave him some fruits, and once he even received a handful of twisted dough sticks from Su Taotao. As the saying goes,

if someone makes up a story about Su Taotao, Niu would have to step forward to refute her, saying that she had been to the county many times before, not just recently.

The key point is that every time she came back from the county, her house would smell so fragrant that the kids next door would cry. It was not like this before, and no matter how Uncle Niu refuted it, it was useless.

Is there any wall in the world that is impenetrable? These days, everyone eats a lot of vegetables and grains, and it's rare to see meat in a month. But your Fu family stews meat every few days. Apart from other things, the fact that Chenchen has gained weight at a visible speed is the best proof.

Chenchen used to be dark and thin, but now he is plump and white, wearing new and clean clothes. He has become the most beautiful kid in the village. Who wouldn't want to take a second look at him?

So someone reported to the team leader, Fu Zhengtu's uncle, that Su Taotao was cutting off the tail of capitalism, going to the county to cut meat every market day, and everyone in the family wore new clothes and lived a luxurious life.

Uncle Fu had no choice but to go to Su Taotao's house to understand the situation.

At this moment, Su Taotao is still collecting dried goods from her fellow villagers.

The first dish she provided to the hotel on the last market day was bamboo shoots and braised pig skull.

It is a common dish from Su Taotao's grandmother's hometown in her previous life. The meat in the pig skull has a special aroma. It tastes better than mutton after being braised. The key point is that it is many times cheaper than mutton, so it is sold out as soon as it is put on the market.

Chef Xu joked that she was planning to cook all the leftovers of the pig, either the pig tail, pig ears or pig skull, and whether it was time to cook pig offal next time.

Chef Xu really came to the point. The new dish that Su Taotao is preparing next month is cold-boiled pork tripe. She really likes to eat a cold dish.

But that's all next month. The side dishes of the pig skull can be replaced with other dishes. The bamboo shoots and bamboo shoots were chosen for selfish reasons. As the name suggests, Qinglian Commune is rich in agricultural products related to the word "lotus", such as lotus seeds and lotus roots. However, these two things are very seasonal and are only available in autumn. As for the past spring, the most seasonal thing is naturally the fresh spring bamboo shoots that have just been dried in every household.

As the saying goes, "live by the mountain and eat the mountain", another unique specialty of the First Brigade is the bamboo and bamboo shoots that are all over the mountain. It is a large green area at a glance.

Zhou Linglan dried a lot of them, but except for the little left for her family, the bamboo shoots were all sold out by the bamboo shoots.

"Good mother-in-law, this is enough. There is no place to dry them in the restaurant. If you buy too much at once, it will easily go moldy. You keep the rest and take them out to dry in the sun every now and then. I will come to buy them next time."

Good mother-in-law was quite regretful. This landlord's dish was too oil-consuming. Although members of several nearby brigades would dry some every year, they could not eat it very often. She did not expect that someone would buy this thing that every household had.

"Su Zhiqing, how did you find this job?" Good mother-in-law asked her.

Su Taotao glanced at the little girl next to her and smiled and said, "I have thin arms and legs, and I can't earn a few centimeters by working in the fields, but I am a high school student after all. I saw that the state-owned hotel was recruiting, so I went to try, and that's how I found it."

Su Taotao's reputation was too bad. Although it has improved recently, her image of being lazy and idle is still deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Haopo didn't agree to sell it to her at first, worried that she would take it to the black market to sell it, and then she would be caught and implicated. Later, Su Taotao took out the purchasing certificate and found out that she was helping the state-owned hotel to do purchasing.

Haopo's granddaughter Xiaomeizi is only nine years old and in the second grade of elementary school. She doesn't know many words, but she can still barely understand the purchasing certificate.

Haopo was relieved to sell the dried bamboo shoots to her.

Su Taotao asked Zhou Linglan in advance that there were several families in the team whose living conditions were relatively difficult. Although every family was not rich these days, it was more difficult for a family like Haopo who had to raise a granddaughter alone. Su Taotao gave priority to purchasing from these families.

Su Taotao gave all the remaining candies in her pocket to Xiaomeizi, and reminded her to study hard, saying that knowledge could definitely change her destiny. Then she smiled and carried a large bag of bamboo shoots home. Haopo

stared at Su Taotao's back for a long time with her dim old eyes, and finally touched her granddaughter's head and said, "Reading is still useful. Even Su, a lazy educated youth, can find such a good job because he can read and write."

Xiao Meizi nodded, peeled off the candy wrapper and stuffed a candy into her mouth: "Grandma, eat candy, Su Zhiqing is so nice, I will definitely study hard and buy you more candy in the future."

The good mother-in-law felt sweet from her mouth to her heart, and touched her granddaughter's head again, smiling and said: "You eat it, grandma doesn't like to eat candy."

Everyone in the team said that Xiao Meizi was a little girl, and didn't understand why they insisted on sending her to school when her family was so difficult. Wouldn't it be better to let her work in the fields for a few years and then get married to earn some dowry? No matter how much she studied, it would be cheap for her husband's family in the future.

Haopo has never been educated, but she knows that the only way out of this mountain is to study. Xiaomeizi has no support from her parents, and she doesn't know how her in-laws will treat her after she leaves. The only way she can think of to help her granddaughter stand up is to read more books than others. Haopo

met Su Taotao today, and she is more determined to at least support her granddaughter to graduate from high school. The money left by her son should be enough.

Su Taotao came home with bamboo shoots on her back. Fu Yuanhang and Chen Chen were there. They should have just returned from school. She unexpectedly found that Uncle Fu was in her house. She put down the sack and asked Uncle Fu who was staring at his sack: "Uncle, are you here to see me?"

If she was looking for Zhou Linglan, she shouldn't have chosen this time.

Uncle Fu then shifted his gaze from the sack in her hand to her, and said sternly: "It seems that the person who reported it was right. Are you really engaged in speculation? Tell me the truth, what is this thing and what are you going to do?"

Su Taotao blinked. What does that mean? She was reported? Who would have nothing to do when they have nothing to do?

When Fu Yuanhang heard this, he immediately stood up to explain for Su Taotao: "Uncle, don't listen to what others say. It's not true. My sister-in-law would not do such a thing!" It would have been

fine if Fu Yuanhang didn't say anything. As soon as he spoke, Uncle Fu's gaze shifted from Su Taotao to him. He sneered, pointed at his clothes and shoes and asked: "It's not true? Then tell me, you always dress like a beggar, how did you get these new clothes and shoes? Did they fall from the sky?"

Uncle Fu's words "You always dress like a beggar" really hurt the boy's self-esteem. Fu Yuanhang lowered his eyes, and his eyes suddenly turned red.

Su Taotao squinted, very good, Uncle Fu, right, you have successfully offended me!
