Chapter 88 So he brought his wife and children to work today?
The next morning, Su Taotao got up very early. She woke up almost as soon as Fu Zhengtu left the house.
This was the earliest day he got up since he came to the island, and the two children were still asleep.
Su Taotao started to prepare breakfast after washing up.
There was not much appetite in the early morning of summer. Su Taotao made slightly sweet pumpkin steamed cake and boiled a pot of kelp and mung bean soup.
The method of making pumpkin steamed cake is similar to that of cake. Steam the pumpkin in a pan and press it into a paste. Pour in an appropriate amount of flour and baking powder, then beat in two eggs and mix well. Finally, it should be in a batter state that sticks to your hands.
After covering the lid and letting it ferment for about 10 to 20 minutes, disperse the bubbles in the batter, and finally brush a layer of oil on the plate for steaming sausage vermicelli, pour the batter in, steam directly for 20 minutes, and simmer for a few minutes.
Su Taotao inserted a circle of red dates on it to make it look good.
The steamed effect is no worse than Chenchen’s birthday cake that day.
Now that the weather is hot, Su Taotao usually soaks some mung beans after dinner, so that it is easy to boil the mung bean soup the next day.
When Fu Zhengtu came back with a lot of bags, the two children and Baibai just went downstairs.
Fu Yuanhang went to make malted milk for Baibai first.
Chenchen doesn't have much milk powder, so Baibai can only drink milk powder one day and malted milk the next for breakfast. At other times, he usually drinks porridge. Baibai is a Chinese rural dog, not at all timid, and eats whatever is given to him. He adapts well.
Su Taotao came out with pumpkin steamed cake, and several "males" in the family, especially the youngest one, surrounded him and exclaimed in amazement.
Chenchen climbed up onto a stool to get a better look, clapped his little paws and said, "Mom~~Birthday cake~~It's Mom's birthday~~"
Su Taotao rubbed the little guy's smart head and said, "Chenchen is really smart, but it's not Mom's birthday. This is called pumpkin steamed cake. It's made based on the same principle as birthday cake, except that pumpkin is added, so the color looks better, right?"
"Yeah," Chenchen nodded and liked it more and more the more he looked at it, "It looks so beautiful~~"
Su Taotao: "So don't be reluctant to eat it, Mom can make it anytime."
The breakfast in the cafeteria is always the same. No matter how delicious it is, people will get tired of it. Even Fu Zhengtu and Fu Yuanhang were surprised to see this pumpkin steamed cake.
Su Taotao did not add any extra sugar, so the pumpkin itself tasted slightly sweet, and paired with a bowl of mung bean soup, it was perfect for such a hot summer day.
Su Taotao put eight red dates in the cake, and the steamed cake was divided into eight portions, just one red date could be cut into one portion.
Su Taotao and Chenchen were full after eating one eighth of the cake, and the rest was eaten by the two brothers.
Chenchen usually drinks milk instead of mung bean soup in the morning, and Su Taotao will let him drink a little at noon or in the afternoon.
Fu Yuanhang drinks soy milk, malted milk, and mung bean soup, whatever is available at home.
"Is it troublesome to make this?" Fu Zhengtu asked after silently eating the last bite.
It just so happened that there were three big pumpkins in the coarse grains he brought back today.
Su Taotao shook her head and said, "It's not a problem, it just takes some time to ferment."
Fu Zhengtu: "I bought three pumpkins today."
Su Taotao laughed, resisting the urge to touch his head in front of the children: "Mr. Fu wants to eat it tomorrow, right? Okay, I'll make it for you."
Fu Zhengtu looked at her and curled his lips: "I'll help you."
The oven has to speed up, she said it tastes better when baked.
It's rare that the whole family went out at the same time today, and it's even rarer that the whole family tacitly changed into white shirts and black pants. It 's so
cool to go out in such a neat and tidy manner.
Sure enough, at the door, they ran into Xia Zhiqiu's family, who also went out to work and buy groceries at the same time, and Aunt Zhong's family.
The three female comrades smiled at each other and said in unison: "What a coincidence?"
Aunt Zhong couldn't help but sigh: "Your family, I don't know how they grow up, the big ones are good-looking, the small ones are also good-looking, just looking at them makes people feel happy."
Su Taotao smiled politely and didn't respond.
Their family is good-looking, and she didn't want to be hypocritical, and she couldn't refute it.
Aunt Zhong nodded towards the vegetable garden: "Xiao Su, I have planted the vegetables, did you see it?"
Su Taotao then discovered that the vacant land was planted with seedlings, and there were branches taller than the seedlings next to each seedling, which could not be found without careful observation.
"What are the branches for?" Su Taotao asked.
Aunt Zhong pointed to the sky and said, "It's too hot to cover the sun. If you don't give it some shade, it will wilt in a short time."
Su Taotao nodded and said, "Fortunately, I planted it for you. I really can't get it."
Mumu jumped to find his good friend Fu Yuanhang.
Aunt Zhong called him, "Mumu, have you finished writing the letter to your brother? If you have, give it to me to mail."
"I have finished writing." Mumu gave the letter to his mother.
Aunt Zhong took it and put it in the basket without even reading it: "Did you ask him to come back as soon as possible?"
Mumu nodded and said, "Yes, I said you can't even eat if you don't see him."
Aunt Zhong stretched out her hand and hit him, "You kid."
Mumu ran away with a smile.
Aunt Zhong sighed and said to Su Taotao, "I'm so worried about my eldest son. He's such a good kid, but he's facing the big boiler every day and he doesn't want to find a partner. I don't know what to do. You know, we have such a big base, why is there so many people vying for even a job of cleaning the toilet?"
Su Taotao looked at Aunt Zhong thoughtfully, "What kind of job does he do now?"
Aunt Zhong said, "He's a boiler worker in the steel factory. It's very hard. If I had known that I would let him go to the countryside when he graduated from high school."
Su Taotao: "Did he tell you that it was hard?"
Aunt Zhong shook her head, "No, the child can endure hardships. I only report good news, not sorrow. In the early years, I followed Lao Mo and took Mumu to run around, and I didn't have time to take care of him. I felt bad."
Su Taotao knew what was going on and said nothing more.
Fu Zhengtu, holding Chenchen, and Zhang Chuncheng, holding Dongdong, had already walked to the road.
The two children struggled to get off the ground, and Dongdong smiled and took Chenchen's hand: "Let's go buy vegetables together today."
Chenchen shook his head: "No, I'm going to work with my dad~~"
Dong Dong blinked and turned to look at Zhang Chuncheng: "Dad, can I go to work with you?"
Zhang Chuncheng looked at Fu Zhengtu blankly. Why did he take his son to work again? Wasn't he visited enough last time?
Before he could say anything, Su Taotao had already walked to the bus. Fu Zhengtu bent down and picked up Chen Chen and got on the bus.
Zhang Chuncheng: "..." What does that mean? Is he taking his wife and children to work today?
Their laboratory must be very noisy today?
Xia Zhiqiu came over and took Dongdong's hand: "Dongdong, go to the supply and marketing cooperative with your mother. Don't you want to eat prawns? We have to go early to buy them, otherwise they will be sold out."
Dongdong looked at the bus eagerly: "But, Chenchen's father took Chenchen to work, and I want to go too."
Zhang Chuncheng had a heavy task today and looked at Xia Zhiqiu in embarrassment.
Xia Zhiqiu understood and said, "It's all mom's fault for not booking a seat in advance. Look, there are no seats on the bus. Let's go next time."
Dongdong was taken away by his mother.
Zhang Chuncheng got on the bus and felt a little depressed when he saw the pleasing family of three. What was going on?
Mo Gong thought about the conversation between Su Taotao and his wife just now.
Hearing the music, you can know the elegant meaning.
Aunt Zhong couldn't understand the meaning, but Mo Gong did.
If her business is to succeed, she will have to recruit workers.
The old man chatted with his wife, and his objective evaluation of his son may have accidentally caught Su Taotao's eyes.
Su Taotao's family of three sat diagonally opposite him. How could such a person who was the focus wherever he went not succeed?
Mo Gong calmed down, and the base might soon set off a wave of turmoil.
However, he did not intend to do anything, just let it go.
