Chapter 51 Base
After getting the marriage certificate, Fu Zhengtu took Su Taotao to go shopping, including various daily necessities, food, and food for Chenchen, milk candy, milk powder, maltose, etc. Fu
Zhengtu let Su Taotao decide what to buy, and he was only responsible for carrying things. The only thing he specified to buy was double wedding candy and double wedding cakes. The banquet was not set up at the base, but wedding candy and wedding cakes had to be distributed.
This was probably the time when Fu Gong understood the ways of the world the most.
The most important thing was that he bought the electric fan that Su Taotao had been thinking about!
It is said that money is not easy to spend these days. One hundred yuan can indeed buy a lot of food. A family of ten or eight people in Qinglian Commune spends less than one hundred yuan on food for a year.
Speaking of spending money, this small electric fan cost seventy or eighty yuan, including the industrial coupons.
Su Taotao felt very sad.
Before leaving the state-owned hotel, the big envelope that Chef Xu gave her contained a full hundred yuan. She thought it was a lot, but she didn't expect that this fan would cost most of it.
Add in the miscellaneous things that cost another eighty or ninety yuan, and it turned out that nearly two hundred yuan was spent in a short time.
As the saying goes, you don't know how expensive fuel and rice are until you are in charge of the household. It is too difficult to start a business without engaging in speculation these days, so she can only think of ways to save money.
It seems that she still has to find a job, otherwise she will be restricted when she wants to buy something.
"How much money is in our family passbook?" Su Taotao suddenly remembered to ask Fu Zhengtu.
Fu Zhengtu gave a number.
Su Taotao exclaimed, "So many?"
Is she holding on to a thick leg?
Fu Zhengtu looked at her strangely, didn't she open it and take a look? Did she forget it?
Su Taotao touched her nose, didn't she take a good look at it that day? Later she forgot to look at it.
There was a lot of savings at home, Su Taotao felt at ease to buy, and generously let Chenchen and Fu Yuanhang choose a gift each. Fu
Yuanhang shook his head to indicate that he didn't want it, it was not easy for an elder brother to support an elder sister-in-law, and it was quite expensive.
Chenchen fell in love with a pair of colorful slingshots at first sight. In fact, his uncle had given him a pair of black slingshots made by himself, but that one was too big and he couldn't pull it, so he liked this one more.
Su Taotao waved her hand and bought it.
The boy got the gift and smiled.
Su Taotao took out a dollar and handed it to Fu Yuanhang: "If you don't buy a gift now, you can cash it. I will give you a dollar of pocket money every month in the future. You can buy whatever you want."
"I, I don't want it!"
Fu Yuanhang was shocked and shook his head.
He had only saved a dime in his hands since he was a child. He had never touched a whole dollar and pushed the bill back as if his hand was burned.
Su Taotao stuffed it into his schoolbag without saying a word.
Fu Yuanhang looked at his brother for help.
Fu Zhengtu nodded and told him to listen to Su Taotao.
So Fu Yuanhang had the first "huge sum" in his life.
After getting on the car, Chenchen touched his slingshot, and Fu Yuanhang secretly took out the money from his schoolbag and put it in his trouser pocket to hold it tightly, touching it again and again.
The car drove along the coastline for a full hour, and Su Taotao finally saw the legendary base.
Fu Zhengtu said that the base was surrounded by the sea on three sides, and Su Taotao thought it would be far away from the mainland, and might even have to rely on ships to enter and exit.
It turned out not to be.
The island where the base is located is strictly surrounded by the sea on all sides, but there is a cross-sea bridge of 200 to 300 meters between the island and the mainland.
This bridge is not as majestic as the bridges built in later generations, and it can even be said to be a reinforced concrete structure bridge that is so ordinary that it cannot be more ordinary.
You have to know that the industry was not developed at that time, and there were no machines such as cranes and bulldozers. Such a cross-sea bridge was built by the hands of local soldiers, who went up the mountain to cut roads, went down to the sea to find rocks, carried bags of cement, pushed stones, and risked their lives to build it bit by bit.
Su Taotao looked at this ordinary-looking bridge and was in awe of the heroes who built it.
The base was militarized, and there was a checkpoint at the bridgehead. Only vehicles from the base could enter and exit freely, and other foreign vehicles and people were not allowed to enter the island. It was like one man guarding the pass against ten thousand men.
Fu Zhengtu's identity is very mysterious. The author of the original novel did not dwell on it. She still does not know what Fu Zhengtu is researching. She only knows that his work needs to be kept highly confidential. He is a key national scientific researcher and cannot be revealed even to his bedmates. He
did not even have a fixed place of work before. Not to mention his family accompanying him, he himself did not know where the next project would be carried out.
In later generations, Su Taotao has also read interview reports. Some nuclear weapons scientists involved in national security cannot even contact their families for decades. They truly fight for scientific research all their lives.
This base was obviously just completed not long ago. It took so much manpower and material resources to build a base that occupies the entire island, and it is also militarized. I believe that this stay will not be too short. lSince
you are here, you should make the best of it.
No matter what, no matter what Fu Zhengtu's job is, she will not explore it. It will not affect her life in the future. She will live her life as usual.
When she returns home, he is just her husband, with a certificate.
