Chapter 45 Getting ready to start a new life

If you want to go back to the base, then go back to the base. Why are you suddenly talking about going back to her parents' home?

Su Taotao had thought before that one day in the future, Fu Zhengtu might go to meet her "parents", but she didn't expect it to happen so soon. She was not mentally prepared at all.

"Isn't it across the province? Is it on the way?"

Fu Zhengtu: "Leave at five o'clock tomorrow morning. It takes four hours from here to the city, and four hours from the city to City G. It will arrive before one o'clock in the afternoon. After lunch, you can catch the 10 o'clock train in the evening."

If you take a car back and forth, it will take a whole day, but you can get there in half a day.

But just as he finished speaking, Su Taotao rejected it immediately: "No, time is too tight. You have to drive for more than ten hours a day. It's too dangerous. Let's wait until the next opportunity. I will write them a letter to explain the situation in detail when I arrive at the base. They will understand. So many years have passed. This little time is not a big deal."

The speaker is unintentional, but the listener is intentional.

Fu Zhengtu knew that he was not qualified as a son, a husband, and a father. No matter what the reason was for marrying someone's daughter, he should not go to visit her for several years.

To be honest, he didn't have this plan before he came back. It was just a thought that came to his mind.

It was indeed his poor arrangement. He didn't go back for several years, and he would go back to have a meal and leave. It might be better not to go back.

Fu Zhengtu was calculating his work schedule for the next six months. He should be able to take a few days off during the Chinese New Year, but he didn't mention the uncertainties. He only said, "I didn't think it through enough and was a bit hasty."

Zhou Linglan said, "Then Taotao will send some more dry goods back home. We don't know when we can send again."

"Okay."

Su Taotao breathed a sigh of relief for some reason. During this time, she had tried her best to repair her relationship with her "family." She also sent back a copy of the photos she took with Chenchen last time, and wrote a letter trying to imitate the tone of "Su Taotao."

The family also replied, but it was just a few words, and they did not forgive "Su Taotao" for marrying in the countryside despite the family's opposition, but between the lines, it can be seen that they like Chen Chen very much.

In fact, after not seeing each other for a few years, it is understandable that "Su Taotao" has become what she wants, and she is not worried about exposing her true colors.

It's just that she is not mentally prepared to meet these "family members".

Fu Yuanhang had said goodbye to his teachers and classmates in the morning, and he would not go to class in the afternoon. Zhou Linglan did not go to work either, and they all stayed at home to pack up things with Su Taotao.

A mother worries when her son travels a thousand miles. Although she knew that her son and daughter-in-law were both opinionated and she didn't need to worry, Zhou Linglan still paid attention to every detail and couldn't help but give various instructions.

There was actually something Su Taotao had wanted to say for a long time:

"Mom, after we leave, you don't have to go to work anymore. The fine grains prepared at home are enough for you to eat for a long time. The coarse grains and vegetables in the private plots cannot be eaten up, and our family is not short of those work points. There is no need to work so hard."

Zhou Linglan smiled and folded clothes while saying, "Rural life is like this. I've been used to it for so many years. It's not tiring."

Su Taotao: "Mom, if you don't agree, then come with us. The point of you staying here is to experience a relaxed life, not to work as hard as before. That would be meaningless. You might as well come with us, and you take care of Chenchen while I find a job."

Zhou Linglan did not know whether to laugh or cry.

"Taotao, how can there be someone as young as me in the village who doesn't work in the fields? It doesn't make sense. People will laugh at me."

Su Taotao insisted: "Mom, our life is our own. What does it have to do with others? It doesn't make sense for the whole family in the village to leave and leave an old lady behind. If you say so, we are also afraid of being criticized. So you have to come with us."

Zhou Linglan couldn't convince Su Taotao, so she could only say: "The double robbery will happen in less than two months. We don't have enough manpower. Let's talk about it after the double robbery."

Su Taotao: "You can go to help during the double robbery. Whoever wants to farm the broken land in Daliangtou can go."

"Fu Zhengtu!" Su Taotao shouted towards the door.

Fu Zhengtu was repairing the chicken coop at home. It was the first time he heard Su Taotao calling his name. He was stunned for a long time before he reacted.

"What's the matter?"

"Go find uncle and tell him that mom is not feeling well and needs to rest. She will not go to work anymore in the future. You can go to help when there is a rush, but you won't do any heavy work."

Fu Zhengtu looked at her sparkling eyes and said without any doubt: "Okay, I'll go and tell him."

Zhou Linglan was really afraid of them. She hurried out and pulled her son: "Don't follow Taotao and make trouble. Do you need to tell her about such a small matter? What will happen if it gets out? I will handle it myself. Taotao, mom knows you are doing this for my own good. I am not that cowardly and I know what to do."

Su Taotao said: "I have spies in the village. If I find out that you are lying to me, I will come back and take you away at any time."

Su Taotao really likes this gentle and kind mother, and sincerely hopes that she can live a more comfortable life.

Zhou Linglan touched her head: "Okay, okay, mom knows."

Zhou Linglan had never given birth to a daughter, and she and Su Taotao became closer and closer unconsciously. Even a daughter was no different.

"Su Zhiqing, there's a package for you!"

It was the voice of the postman.

Fu Zhengtu put down his work and went to open the door to get the package.

"Who is it? Someone actually sent me a package?"

The package was not very big. Su Taotao looked at the address. Sure enough, she couldn't say anything during the day. He would come as soon as she said it.

It was a package from her mother's home in G City.

Su Taotao said as she opened the package: "This package came just in time. I wouldn't have received it if I was a day late."

Su Taotao looked through the package for a long time, but it was all things for Chenchen. She had nothing.

Su Taotao waved to Chenchen who was packing his schoolbag: "Chenchen, come here, grandma sent you something good."

Chenchen put down his schoolbag, ran over with his short legs, tilted his head to look at Su Taotao: "Grandma~~"

Su Taotao took out two sets of short-sleeved shirts, a pair of small leather shoes and a cloth tiger and handed them to Chenchen: "Grandma is Dad's mother, right? Grandma is Mom's mother, so this is "My mother, this is a little tiger from Chenchen's grandma. Do you like it?" Chenchen

's eyes widened and he hugged the little tiger tightly. He touched the little tiger's head, then nodded with his eyes raised: "I like it~~"

Su Taotao took out two more cans of milk powder and said: "This is milk powder, and it is also Chenchen's food. Grandma is so good to you. What do you want to say?"

Chenchen: "Thank you~~"

Su Taotao touched his head: "Then mom will write back to grandma later, and Chenchen will personally say thank you to grandma, okay?" Chenchen

nodded: "Okay~~"

The small clothes are made of soft cotton cloth, very suitable for children to wear. You can see that they are hand-sewn, washed very clean, and smell of soap.

The small leather shoes are probably bought a little bigger on purpose, which should be just right for winter.

The cloth tiger is sewn with various scraps of cloth. The colorful colors look very festive, but the craftsmanship is average, just for show. It's better to forget it if you look closely.

The so-called grandma is close to her grandson. These things reveal the grandma's love for her little grandson. She, the concubine, has nothing to do with it. I guess she is still angry.

Chenchen liked the stuffed tiger very much, and couldn't let it go. He played with it for a long time before putting it into his schoolbag.

Zhou Linglan looked at Chenchen's things and kept sighing: "My mother-in-law is so thoughtful."

At the same time, she was relieved. Blood is thicker than water, how could the in-laws really ignore their daughter?

The whole family worked hard for a whole afternoon to pack up the things.

Su Taotao was worried about the pile of things and asked Fu Zhengtu: "What should I do with so many things? I have tried my best to simplify them, but there are still so many."

Fu Zhengtu said: "Separate the things that are not urgent first, and I will take them to the post office to mail them later. You can also mail some dried goods and salted vegetables that you like to eat."

Su Taotao slapped her forehead and said: "Why am I so stupid? Yes, let's take some clothes and necessities first, and mail the rest. It doesn't matter if it arrives later."

Su Taotao adjusted the "strategy" and did it as she said. In the end, she packed only two large packages.

Fu Yuanhang's quilt was mailed, because it was not needed now anyway.

Su Taotao asked him and Chenchen to pack their things and carry them on their backs, and they had to take them by themselves.

Chenchen had many "treasures", such as small stones, a small slingshot, comic books, the chess set given to him by Fu Zhengtu, and of course the little tiger given to him by his grandmother... The little guy wanted to take everything with him, and he only stopped when his schoolbag was full and full.

In the end, the things he sent by mail were several times more than the things he brought with him, such as mushrooms, black fungus, dried bamboo shoots, dried day lilies, pickled cucumbers, pickled mustard greens, pickled bamboo shoots, pickled radishes... Su Taotao took everything with her, and of course there was also a portion for her mother's family. In the end, the trunk of the SUV was full.

Fu Zhengtu was also helpless when he saw the full trunk. In fact, he thought that the pickled vegetables and other things might not be expensive to buy there, but he said nothing. He would send whatever Su Taotao asked for.

The package sent to her mother's house in City G also included a letter from Su Taotao and Chenchen. Chenchen's "Thank you grandma" was written by Su Taotao holding his little hand. The letter was crooked and full of childishness.

Everyone is always full of yearning and expectation for a new life.

That night, except Chenchen, the whole family was very excited. They couldn't fall asleep for a long time, counting the minutes and seconds waiting for the arrival of a new life.
