Chapter 53: Attention Ceremony
No matter how clean a house is, it is still a new home, and cleaning it up is a huge project.
Fortunately, Su Taotao was well prepared, and even prepared cleaning supplies when she went shopping.
Fu Zhengtu was also a good worker, and he took Fu Yuanhang, a young boy, to do all the dirty and tiring work, and Su Taotao was only responsible for some delicate work.
Fu Haochen was responsible for making trouble, and he went to his father to "help" him move things. Fu Zhengtu moved more slowly, and he had to worry about bumping into him;
he went to his uncle to help sweep the floor, and made the place that Fu Yuanhang had finally swept clean dirty again, forcing him to clean it again.
These two people are very fond of Dust, and they will never get angry no matter how he makes trouble.
Of course, Dust's starting point is good, but he means well but ends up doing bad things.
Su Taotao is most satisfied with the tap water at home. She didn't expect to use such a "high-end" product as a faucet here. It is so convenient to wash things. However, the fresh water on the island is very precious and cannot be wasted easily.
In fact, there are many things missing at home, and they cannot be replenished all at once, so they can only make do with what they have.
Fortunately, Su Taotao had foresight and bought a full set of kitchen utensils such as pots, bowls, pans, spoons, and shovels before going to the island, otherwise eating would be a problem.
For lunch, they relied on them to eat a simple egg noodle.
When it was time for dinner, Fu Zhengtu said, "Can we eat in the cafeteria?"
When he was alone, he ate in the cafeteria every meal and thought it was not bad.
After rushing for two days without a good meal, Su Taotao actually wanted to cook a meal to reward everyone, but the only ingredients at home were eggs and noodles bought in town, bacon and a bottle of pickled vegetables brought from home. The village never needs to buy green vegetables, and she even forgot to buy fruits and vegetables.
A good cook cannot cook without rice. Even if she wanted to make delicious food, she had no ingredients.
"It's okay to try the food in the cafeteria. I'll steam a boiled egg. If Chenchen doesn't like it, he can still eat the boiled egg."
Fu Zhengtu washed both lunch boxes and took them with him. He asked Su Taotao, "Is there anything you want to eat?"
Su Taotao said, "The seafood on the island should be good. Shrimp or fish will do, and some kelp or some vegetarian dishes will do. Xiaohang and Chenchen have never eaten seafood."
Qinglian County is backed by mountains and is rich in mountain delicacies. You can hardly eat seafood.
Chenchen was helping Su Taotao clean up her chopsticks. When she heard that her father was going to the cafeteria to get food, her big eyes lit up, and she immediately put down her chopsticks, tilted her head back, and stretched out her two chubby little hands to her father.
Apart from anything else, the relationship between father and son has grown by leaps and bounds in the past two days on the road.
Children have the simplest thoughts, especially a smart kid like Chenchen, who is very sensitive to adults' emotions and knows clearly whether adults are sincere to him or not.
In the past, if Su Taotao and Fu Yuanhang were both at home, he would never go out with Fu Zhengtu, but now he trusts him very much.
"Why don't you take him out for a walk? He's been stuck in the car for the past two days and is bored." Su Taotao touched the little guy's head.
Fu Zhengtu bent down to hug him.
Chenchen was happy to hug his father's neck and twist around in his arms.
"Wait a minute."
Su Taotao twisted a clean towel, wiped her dusty face and hands, tidied his clothes, adjusted his hairstyle, stood two steps away to admire him, nodded and said, "My son is so handsome! He can go out!"
Su Taotao also took a look at Fu Zhengtu's expressionless face.
Well, my son's father is also handsome!
Then look at Fu Yuanhang.
Well, my son's uncle is also handsome!
Su Taotao lamented that the three "men" in the family occupied the top positions of the three different age groups.
She didn't know whether other men had a way to go, but she was very pleasing to the eye anyway.
Although Chenchen didn't know what "handsome" meant, he knew from his mother's expression that it was a compliment, and he was so happy that his big eyes curved into small crescents.
"Xiaohang, let's go out for a walk together."
Fu Yuanhang shook his head: "I'll clean up with you."
Su Taotao said: "It's not a big deal. It's inconvenient for your brother to hold Chenchen, so it's just right for you to take the lunch box."
Fu Zhengtu looked at Su Taotao's smiling eyes and said: "You can go with us and eat directly in the cafeteria."
Su Taotao shook her head: "I won't go. There are many things to do at home. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future."
After Fu Zhengtu suggested this, Chenchen stopped doing it and reached out to hug Su Taotao: "Mom~~Let's go~~"
Fu Yuanhang also looked at her expectantly, as if he would feel more at ease no matter what he did with his sister-in-law around.
Su Taotao couldn't stand the three handsome men looking at her expectantly at the same time, so she had to go back to her room, change into a clean white skirt, tie up her hair, and come out after she was done.
"Wow~~" Chenchen stared at his mother with wide eyes and gave high praise: "Mom~~ Piao Brew~~"
Su Taotao pinched his white face: "You also know what beauty is."
Chenchen nodded heavily in affirmation: "Mom, this is it~~ Piao Brew~~"
Fu Zhengtu looked at Su Taotao.
The female comrade in front of him had a face like peaches and plums, skin as white as snow, and her eyebrows were charming when she smiled, showing her charm. The simple and loose white skirt also set off her curvy figure, and her slender waist was not thick enough.
Fu Zhengtu retracted his gaze, frowning slightly. It seemed that the decision to take her to the cafeteria for dinner was not very wise.
The two children came to the island for the first time, and they were more excited than the first time they entered the zoo. Anyone who sees the vast and endless blue ocean will be in a good mood.
The sea breeze is gentle and refreshing. Every time the seagulls fly over the sea, Chen Chen will applaud excitedly.
Even a restrained child like Fu Yuanhang has a lighter step.
He regretted not bringing a notebook and pencil this time.
Su Taotao told him that he could come down whenever he wanted to paint in the future.
Such a unique sketching environment would be very popular in the 21st century.
Fu Zhengtu is not as talkative as Su Taotao and will not take the initiative to explain anything to children, but as long as the children ask, he will answer them patiently, even if Chenchen has asked a certain question more than once without realizing it.
It was mealtime, and many people went to the cafeteria to eat or get food. Families might cook at home, but there were mostly singles in the base, and from time to time, one or two people would greet Fu Zhengtu.
They all paid attention to Su Taotao, who was wearing a white dress of almost the same color as Fu Zhengtu's, and the two children. Some even bumped into the light pole and fell flat on their faces.
Su Taotao's skin color is unique on an island that is exposed to strong ultraviolet rays all year round.
Chenchen also inherited Su Taotao's cold white skin. Even in the village, he often followed his uncle out to bask in the sun. After gaining some weight, his skin color became very white and eye-catching.
Fu Yuanhang's skin color is a little whiter than that of ordinary people, which is considered very white on this island.
So even without Fu Zhengtu by his side, everyone can identify with the "beautiful family members with glowing white skin", "lovely snow balls" and "brother who looks as good as Fu Gong" mentioned by Xiaolu.
Maybe the "forward" spread the news, and the family of four just appeared at the entrance of the cafeteria, and they were greeted with countless stares...
