Chapter 7 Right before our eyes

People are visual animals, and they naturally like beautiful things.

This person, once he looks pleasing to the eye, he is happy to live and others are happy to see him, which is great.

Su Taotao poked Chenchen's little fat, and was satisfied with everything. It was great that such a well-behaved and good-looking baby was hers.

Chenchen's face was white after washing, and although it was a little tanned from the sun and there was not much flesh, his facial features were well-shaped, and he looked well-behaved and soft, which was really rare.

Su Taotao couldn't help but leaned over and kissed him on the cheek.

Chen Chen was confused and uncomfortable with her sudden approach. He puffed up his cheeks and rubbed the place where Su Taotao had just kissed him. He blinked at Su Taotao innocently and puzzledly, as if asking: What are you doing?

If Su Taotao hadn't been worried about scaring him, she would have wanted to kiss him a few more times.

She smiled and grabbed his little paw, put it in the washbasin and muttered:

"Mom kisses you because she likes you. Now let's wash our hands. Rub the palms and backs of your hands together to keep viruses and bacteria away from me. Chenchen, remember to brush your teeth and wash your face the first thing you do when you wake up every day. Remember to wash your hands before every meal."

Children in the country are brought up roughly. Compared with other children, Chenchen has been well taken care of by Zhou Linglan, but she is really too busy. In addition, children these days are raised in a free-range manner and are not so particular. They do not pay attention to hygiene like Su Taotao.

Chenchen's frown has never relaxed since Su Taotao forcibly carried him into the bathroom. This mother is really weird. She was never like this before, but he doesn't hate her, he just doesn't get used to it.

Fu Yuanhang's eyes have always been on Chenchen. The more he thought about it, the more panicked he became. His sister-in-law never cared about Chenchen's eating, drinking, defecating or urinating, but today she actually washed Chenchen herself. This is bad, this is bad, she must have washed Chenchen first so that she can sell him for a good price!

This must be the case. She kept nagging Chenchen about so many random things. She must be saying goodbye!

This must be the case!

While Su Taotao was still not out, Fu Yuanhang quickly threw away the shovel and ran into the kitchen.

"Mom, I suspect that my sister-in-law wants to sell Chenchen!"

Zhou Linglan was shocked by his incoherent words. She looked out quickly and saw Su Taotao was still in the bathroom. She patted her son's arm and said in a low voice: "What nonsense are you talking about so early in the morning? How could your sister-in-law sell her own son!"

Fu Yuanhang stamped his feet in anxiety: "Mom, didn't you see how nice she was to Chenchen today? She kept smiling at Chenchen, washed Chenchen cleanly, and told him a lot of things. Chenchen has never talked so much to him since she was born, which is very abnormal. Didn't she spend all the money that her eldest brother left for her? Two days ago, she scolded the food at home as pig food. How could she eat coarse grains and wild vegetables with us? She must be lowering our vigilance by suddenly changing into a different person. Take Chenchen to exchange money to return to the city. We must keep an eye on Chenchen!"

Zhou Linglan's heart began to beat fast. Thinking about the mess her daughter-in-law had done in the past, to be honest, she might be capable of doing such a thing.

At this time, Su Taotao had come in with Chen Chen, who had been washed clean,

and said, "Mom, Yuanhang, what shall we have for breakfast?" Zhou Linglan looked at her grandson, who had been washed clean, had his hair combed neatly, and was much more energetic than usual. Thinking of what her son said, her eyelids began to twitch.

She secretly took a deep breath, exhaled slowly to calm her heartbeat, and then said, "It's still sweet potato porridge and salted vegetables."

Su Taotao had just looked at the chicken coop. These days, every household has a fixed number of chickens, and at most they plan to raise two or three. In their chicken coop, there were two hens and three chicks with yellow feathers, which were estimated to have just hatched.

Su Taotao thought for a moment and asked, "Can the chickens at home lay two eggs a day?"

Zhou Linglan nodded and said, "Yes, Xiaohang digs earthworms every day to feed them. The eggs they lay are quite big, and the supply and marketing cooperative can give them eight cents each."

Zhou Linglan's inner uneasiness became stronger and stronger. She used to pick up the eggs and put them away before Su Taotao got up, one to exchange for money, and one to steam for her and her grandson.

Eggs were hard currency these days, and the supply and marketing cooperative was allowed to recycle them. Eggs of average size could only be exchanged for five or six cents, and eggs that could be exchanged for seven or eight cents were the best.

Su Taotao never cared about these things before.

Su Taotao said, "We can keep the eggs for ourselves in the future. Don't worry about the money. I'll find a way. By the way, I'll take Chenchen to the county to do some work later."

"Bang!" The aluminum plate in Fu Yuanhang's hand fell to the ground. Without saying a word, he rushed over with a dark face, grabbed Chenchen and held him in his arms, and shouted at Su Taotao, "If you want to go to the county, go by yourself. Even if you want to go back to the city, we can't control it, but you can't take Chenchen away! And you can't sell him..."

"Xiaohang!" Zhou Linglan stopped him in time.

Fu Yuanhang closed his mouth with red eyes, pursed his lips and stared at Su Taotao stubbornly.

Chenchen is the eldest brother's biological son and nephew, and he also helped to raise him. If Su Taotao wants to take Chenchen away, she has to kill him and step over his corpse! Zhou

Linglan thought about it and her face turned pale, as if what her youngest son said was really right. She was shocked and scared, and looked at Su Taotao pleadingly: "Taotao, Mom can agree to other things, but Chenchen is the only flesh and blood between you and Zhengtu, can you..."

"Mom, Xiaohang, what are you thinking about?" Su Taotao was simply at a loss whether to laugh or cry. She didn't need to listen to anything else. Just from Fu Yuanhang's last word "sell" and his reaction as if he were facing a powerful enemy, she knew that they had the wrong idea.

She loved this little cub so much, how could he do such a heartless thing? But it's really hard to say what the original owner said.

Su Taotao simply took out the IOU and showed it to them: "Look, this is something my father gave me before I went to the countryside. I plan to go to the county to find the person on the IOU to ask for money. What are you thinking? It seems that you didn't care what I said last night. No matter how crazy I am, I can't do what you think. I have made it so clear that we are a family. You have to give me basic trust and live a good life. You can't be so suspicious anymore."

Zhou Linglan and Fu Yuanhang can both read. They came over and read the IOU from beginning to end. They looked at each other and were a little overwhelmed.

Su Taotao handed the photo over again and pointed at Su Donghan: "This is my dad," and then pointed to Chenchen, "Chenchen, look, this is grandpa. I will take Chenchen back to the city to visit grandpa in the future, but not now."

Su Taotao pointed to another person, "This is Comrade Cao Guohua who borrowed money from our family. I want to take Chenchen to the county to ask him for money. Raising a child is not easy. If I take Chenchen with me, he won't default on the debt, and I can also take Chenchen to see the world."

Fu Yuanhang knew he had misunderstood her, his face turned red, and he lowered his head and said "I'm sorry" in a mosquito-like voice.

Chenchen tilted his head and looked for a long time, then suddenly clicked on the photo and pointed outside the kitchen window.

Zhou Linglan was thinking about something and forgot to feel embarrassed. She also stared at the person in the photo for a long time

. After a while, she asked Fu Yuanhang: "Xiaohang, do you think this person looks familiar? Does he look like..." Fu Yuanhang didn't look at it carefully at first. He thought Chenchen was pointing at something and was still looking out the window. This time, after seeing it clearly, he was stunned for a moment and pointed outside the small window of the kitchen like Chenchen: "Who? Teacher Cao?"
