Chapter 32 A Short Separation Makes You Happy
Fu Zhengtu and Zhou Linglan had just finished talking, and Su Taotao had just finished cooking.
Fu Zhengtu walked into the kitchen and saw three smiling cat faces.
Chenchen raised his two little black paws and asked his uncle to take him to wash his hands.
Zhou Linglan said, "Taotao, go wash your face too. I'll start cooking."
Su Taotao took off her apron and said, "Mom, the rice in the pot needs to be simmered for a while. First, serve everyone a bowl of tomato soup. Chenchen likes tomatoes, so put two more pieces for him."
"Okay, I know." Zhou Linglan took her apron and hung it on the wall.
Fu Zhengtu looked at Su Taotao's dirty smile and sparkling eyes, and suddenly understood why his mother suddenly liked her so much.
Su Taotao not only washed her face, but also went back to her room to change into clean clothes. She was sweating after cooking and was covered in dust. She was so dirty that she couldn't even look at it.
The kitchen at home is very big. It's warm to eat in the kitchen in winter. In summer, if it doesn't rain, the dining table is moved to the yard to eat.
Su Taotao also likes to eat in the yard. Before eating, she rinses the floor of the small yard with well water, which is refreshing and cool. Then she lights a handful of wormwood, and even mosquitoes dare not come.
In such a farmyard, eating dinner in the sunset, listening to the sound of frogs and insects, is the happiest leisure time for the family.
Fu Zhengtu is not a male chauvinist who doesn't know the difference between grains and won't help when the oil bottle falls.
On the contrary, he was also very diligent. He rolled up his shirt sleeves to reveal his strong and sturdy light wheat arms. He easily moved the table that usually required two people to carry together.
Su Taotao came back after changing her clothes and saw Fu Zhengtu sitting next to Chenchen. The father and son lowered their heads and did not speak. They just touched their heads and did not know what strange things they were playing.
Zhou Linglan saw Su Taotao coming back and smiled at Chenchen, "Let's eat first, and then play after dinner."
Fu Zhengtu raised his head and saw a female comrade in a white shirt and with picturesque eyebrows walking towards him in the sunset. The golden glow sprinkled on her pure and jade-like smile, and she was as beautiful as a fairy who had come down to earth to transcend the tribulation and accidentally broke into a farmer's yard.
Fu Zhengtu is devoted to scientific research and has a strong mind. He is rarely distracted by anything other than scientific research. Marrying a wife is an accident, and having a child is an accident. It seems that he saw his wife's face clearly for the first time.
Before, when Zhou Linglan said that Su Taotao deliberately painted her face black with soot to avoid trouble, he didn't care much.
It turned out that after more than two years of not seeing her, his wife has become so beautiful.
Fu Zhengtu retracted his gaze.
She deserves the four words "beauty brings disaster".
The dinner was very rich. Su Taotao mentioned that Chenchen loved to eat pig skulls, so Chef Xu reserved a portion for him today. Su Taotao also bought a fish from Anhui. She originally planned to eat only the pig skull and stir-fry some vegetables for dinner, and save the fish for tomorrow. However, in order to welcome Fu Zhengtu, Su Taotao made the fish into pickled fish and added a tomato and egg soup. Such a rich dinner is already a New Year's Eve dinner these days.
Fu Zhengtu didn't have much appetite. In the past, food was only for filling his stomach and replenishing his energy. He didn't have much concept of whether it was delicious or not, as long as he was full.
Until he ate the meal tonight, he was surprised at the huge difference between the food. He thought of the pride on Zhou Linglan's face when she said that Su Taotao got a job as a worker in a state-owned hotel with her cooking skills, and only needed to work ten days a month to get a full month's salary for others.
She really had the capital to be proud. Not to mention the state-owned hotel, even the taste of the state banquet was not as good as hers.
Especially the pickled fish, it was the first time he had seen this cooking method, the Anhui fish bones were fried to make the soup base, the fish soup was milky white, the fish slices were as thin as cicada wings, and it was paired with Laotan pickled cabbage, it was sour and delicious, probably considering Chenchen's appetite, only a few red dried chilies were sprinkled on the top to decorate, and it was splashed with oil to increase the aroma and flavor, it was not spicy in fact, he had eaten a lot of fish, but never once did he have such a big appetite as today.
Su Taotao, as usual, left the whole fish belly for Chenchen, and even crushed it to make sure there was no fish bone before putting it in Chenchen's bowl, the little guy had a big appetite, the little person ate a bowl of soup, a bowl of rice, and a bunch of vegetables, his little belly was bulging like a ball.
Su Taotao didn't dare to let Chenchen eat anymore, so she let him go down to the ground and play with a small ball to help digest the food.
Fu Zhengtu began to understand why Chenchen had grown into a small meatball, and even he himself had added two more meals without realizing it. Fu Yuanhang even held the pot in the rice pot and used the vegetable juice to clean the bottom.
The family finished this filling dinner before the last rays of the setting sun sank into the west mountain.
Fu Yuanhang rushed to wash the dishes, Zhou Linglan wiped the table and put away the chairs, Fu Zheng moved the table, and Su Taotao became the most idle one. She sat on a small recliner and watched Chenchen play with a ball, and looked at the distant sunset from time to time. After traveling for
so long, she seemed to feel for the first time what a peaceful time was like.
Regardless of whether there is an emotional foundation between her and Fu Zhengtu, husband is husband, husband of one man, he is her husband of one man, the head of this family, and when he comes back, her backbone is also back. This feeling is extremely clear at this moment.
Or, she can try to trust this man.
After dinner, Fu Zhengtu took Chenchen to play origami. Su Taotao originally thought that Chenchen was very good at it, but when she saw a few ordinary old newspapers turned into a tank in Fu Zhengtu's hands, she didn't want to say anything.
There is no need to drop blood to recognize relatives, nor to test DNA, they are definitely father and son.
"This is a tank." Fu Zhengtu handed the folded tank to Chenchen.
Chenchen frowned for a rare moment, and said to Fu Zhengtu in a childish tone: "Lying down~~"
"It's tank, not lying down." Fu Zhengtu corrected him.
Chenchen: "Lying down~~"
Fu Zhengtu: "..." Forget it, the kid is still young.
As a result, Fu Zhengtu watched the kid dismantle the "lying down" in a few seconds.
Fu Zhengtu frowned, thinking about how to communicate with the kid and tell him that this is wrong behavior.
Then, he watched the kid restore the "Dangke" that he had just taken apart in a few moves, returning it to its original state. He suddenly realized something and said "Ah~~". His wrinkled brows also relaxed. He walked to Fu Zhengtu and tilted his head and said in a childish voice: "Dangke~~"
Fu Zhengtu: "..."
Is the two-year-old kid so good now? He has been praised for his intelligence since he was a child, but he couldn't play origami to this extent when he was two years old.
Before he knew it, it was Chenchen's bedtime. Su Taotao assigned Fu Yuanhang a bedtime task: read a bedtime book to Chenchen every day. It was not limited to fairy tales, but classics, poems, and even quotations were all fine, but it had to be in standard Mandarin.
At first, Fu Yuanhang read it very stiffly, and his pronunciation was not standard. Later, he followed Su Taotao to read to Chenchen several times, asked her when he encountered a word he didn't understand, and read along with the radio broadcast. It took him several months to practice it little by little.
Now he can read any book clearly, with intonation and rhythm, not inferior to the broadcasting voice, but not much worse. Chenchen is also used to falling asleep listening to the voice of his uncle telling stories, and Su Taotao will stay to listen to the stories that interest her.
Fu Zhengtu stood at his brother's door with his arms folded across his chest and listened for a long time, not knowing what he was thinking.
When it was late at night and everyone in the family went back to their rooms to sleep, Su Taotao also took a shower and walked into the bedroom to see a handsome man in pajamas leaning against the head of the bed reading a book, unbuttoning the top two buttons of his shirt, and the strong honey-colored muscle texture was clearly visible. Su Taotao pinched the collar and her heartbeat almost stopped!
She almost forgot that she and Fu Zhengtu were husband and wife, real husband and wife who were expecting a child together. As the saying goes, a short separation makes a new marriage better. It was legal and reasonable to do things like turning off the lights, drawing the curtains, and covering the quilt
. The problem was that Su Taotao had been a virgin all her life. In this life, she didn't even remember how she gave birth to a child, so how could she remember the wedding night? The point was that she and Fu Zhengtu didn't know each other at all!
How could two strangers do such a thing?
"Come here." The man's clear voice was particularly clear in this rural night with only the croaking of frogs and the chirping of insects, like a furry ear pick reaching into her ears, bringing out a tingling sensation.
Su Taotao prided herself on her thick skin, but she couldn't help blushing. She grabbed her collar and walked over slowly: "What, what are you doing?"
Fu Zhengtu suddenly put down the book, stood up and stretched out his hand to her. Su Taotao froze in place, her breathing suddenly stagnated...
