Chapter 78 Chenchen is two years old

On the way home, the two short-legged children could not walk at all. The two mothers could only carry the vegetables on their backs and hold the short-legged children in their arms.

They held them for a while and then let them walk for a while. It took almost half an hour to reach the stairs.

The two great mothers were already sweating profusely and could only carry the children up the stairs.

Xia Zhiqiu's hometown is in the north, and she has never seen such a hot summer.

Su Taotao was a little worried that she would get heat stroke.

Xia Zhiqiu wiped his sweat and said, "Fortunately I listened to you and didn't buy coconuts, otherwise I really couldn't carry them. It's so hot just after the beginning of summer. What will it be like in another month or two?"

Su Taotao said, "You'll get used to it. You can go back and make some mung bean soup. You can put some kelp in it. If you don't have any, get some from me first, or take a coconut back to relieve the heat."

Xia Zhiqiu smiled and said, "Not really. I drank coconut water from you this morning and I didn't feel uncomfortable."

When they got home, Su Taotao still insisted that she take some mung beans and kelp back to make water, and gave her two coconuts.

Xia Zhiqiu didn't be polite to her. In these days of material shortages, it is normal for neighbors to borrow things. Just return them next time.

When they got home, Su Taotao wiped the sweat off Chen Chen's body and changed her clothes.

The white shirt that Fu Zhengtu bought yesterday had been washed and hung out to dry last night, and it was already completely dry.

The little boy with red lips and chubby white teeth changed into a white shirt and shorts, and combed his bangs neatly to one side. He instantly turned into a delicate and elegant young gentleman. Su Taotao kissed his rosy little face: "Chenchen is so handsome."

Chenchen smiled and said: "Daddy said~~Mommy compares~~Chenchen is beautiful~~"

Su Taotao was stunned for a moment, and remembered what Fu Zhengtu said when he was giving the little guy a bath yesterday evening, and then smiled: "Well, mom is beautiful, Chenchen is handsome, we look good together."

The little guy immediately smiled.

Su Taotao made a cup of salty sugar water for the child, adding a little salt and a little more sugar, and asked him to drink it while sitting on a small stool. She began to prepare lunch.

The cake base had already fermented. Compared with steaming it in a pot, Su Taotao would rather bake it. She was wondering if it was possible to ask Fu Zhengtu to make her an earthen oven.

Just build one with bricks in the corner, burn charcoal underneath, and put things in to bake when it is hot. Not to mention baking cakes, it can also be used to bake seafood, chicken, sweet potatoes... They are all very practical.

The more she thought about it

, the more she thought it was feasible. Anyway, Fu Zhengtu would not refute her ideas. No matter how big or small the matter was, she would do whatever she said.

There was no other way, she could only steam it first.

Anyway, it has to be steamed. Su Taotao opened two more coconuts and steamed them together with the cake.

When the cake was ready, she added two eggs to the coconut water and mixed them evenly. She continued to steam for four or five minutes, and a simple coconut dessert was ready.

Chen Chen surrounded the cake, and his big eyes never left the cake: "Mom~~ The cake is so delicious~~"

Su Taotao was cutting mangoes. There was a very large mango orchard on the island, and the most common fruit in the family area was mangoes. Su Taotao was thinking about whether to plant two trees at the door.

"Yes, this is called a birthday cake. It's a birthday gift from mom to Chenchen for his two-year-old birthday."

Chenchen didn't expect that the ugly dough could turn into a golden cake. He was so happy. There

was no cream in those days, so Su Taotao had to put the cut mango on the cake and made it into the shape of a flower. It looked pretty.

"Wow~~~" Chenchen clapped his hands, "Mom~~ so delicious~~"

Su Taotao put the remaining mango and some unformed scraps into the coconut steamed egg, without wasting anything.

"As long as Chenchen likes it, wait for dad and uncle to come back and eat together, and give some to Dongdong and Mumu, okay?"

Chenchen nodded with big eyes: "Okay~~"

Su Taotao looked at the time and made seafood noodles according to the time.

Today's shrimps are particularly large, and there are not many shrimps in a pound. Su Taotao peeled the shrimp heads and shrimp shells, put the shrimp heads in the oil pan first to fry the shrimp oil, add ginger slices and green onions, and then put the shrimp shells in and stir-fry. When the shrimp shells all turn red, add boiling water to make seafood soup.

When it is almost done, filter out the soup residue, then add wakame, scallop meat and tofu, and the nutritious and delicious seafood soup is ready and set aside.

Soon, Fu Zhengtu and Fu Yuanhang arrived home on time.

Su Taotao then put the noodles and vegetables into the pot and boiled them.

Fu Zhengtu came in to help after washing his hands.

Su Taotao asked him to divide the noodles into everyone's bowls: "Just give me a small bowl like Chenchen's, I will eat more coconut egg stew later.

The shrimps are a bit big today, just give Chenchen two, and give him two scallops, and I will only have one, and give me more vegetables." There

are actually only five scallops in a pound, and if they are cut in half, there should be ten in the pot.

Fu Zhengtu frowned and looked at her: "Why do you eat less than Chenchen? Are you feeling unwell somewhere?"

Su Taotao shook her head: "No, I still have coconut stew and cake, I have to save my stomach for food."

Fu Zhengtu: "Did you go out to buy vegetables and get sunburned in the hot sun? Don't cook tomorrow, I'll call back at noon."

Su Taotao looked at him speechlessly. She was very afraid of heat and liked air conditioning, but she was not that coquettish.

"How can you be so squeamish? It's good for your body to get some sun in the morning to detoxify. It's too sunny in the afternoon. I'm worried that Xiaohang will get a heat stroke when he walks so far to school. Oh, I have to make some mung bean soup. You can take it back this afternoon."

Fu Zhengtu stopped her, "I'm not that squeamish. Stop working and eat first."

The golden seafood soup base, paired with red prawns and snow-white scallops, and green vegetables and wakame, even someone like Fu Zhengtu who doesn't care about food is tempted by the delicious seafood noodles.

Not to mention the two kids.

Fu Yuanhang couldn't help drooling when he came in to help serve the noodles.

In the middle of the table, there was mango cake and coconut custard, which, along with the seafood noodles, was Fu Haochen's second birthday dinner.

"This is the birthday dinner that mommy prepared for Chenchen. Mommy hopes that Fu Haochen will be happy every day and grow up quickly." Su Taotao said, patting Chenchen's little face.

Chenchen was so happy that he bent his eyes and shook his short legs: "Thank you, Mommy~~"

Fu Yuanhang gave Chenchen a painting. The painting showed the scene of Chenchen sitting on his "mount" in the early morning and being pushed by him, grinning from ear to ear. It was also accompanied by Chenchen raising his little fleshy hands and saying "Go, go, go..."

Chenchen couldn't put it down: "Wow~~ Little uncle is so greedy~~"

Su Taotao also said: "Xiaohang's painting is very good. I'll take it to the town to have it plastic-sealed and mounted some other day."

Then Su Taotao looked at Fu Zhengtu, and the meaning was very clear -

where is your gift?

Fu Zhengtu took out a small tank that was not much bigger than his palm and put it in front of Chenchen: "Grandpa gave it to Dad, and now Dad gives it to you."

To be more precise, it was a tank model, made of particles-bullet heads. The surface of the tank model was polished very smooth. Maybe its owner often held it in his hands and rubbed it.

Chenchen blinked and opened his pink little mouth. The tank was a bit heavy. Chenchen did not pick it up, but touched it gently: "Daddy~~ It's not origami~~"

Fu Zhengtu shook his head: "No, Grandpa made it with particles and bullet shells."

Chenchen looked at the tank in his hand, tilted his head and asked Fu Zhengtu: "Daddy~~ Where is Grandpa~~"
