Chapter 161 Strange Woman (1)
When Song Zhi heard that Taotao had given birth to another son, he would be lying if he said he wasn't disappointed.
He wanted a little girl as pretty and cute as Taotao.
However, the child has already been born, no matter whether it is a boy or a girl, it is his and Taotao's child...
Rather than feeling sorry that the second child was not a little girl, he felt more distressed about Taotao.
So Song Zhi took care of Taotao with all his heart.
Now Taotao needs his endless spiritual power the most. So Taotao especially likes him to massage her head. Firstly, it is comfortable, and secondly, the physical contact can allow her to absorb spiritual power... and then she can fall asleep comfortably.
During the day, Song Zhi always gave Taotao a massage, and after Taotao fell asleep, he would go out to work. At night, he asked Tang Liren and Aunt Hu to have a good rest, and he took care of Taotao and Xiao Chimo alone.
Yes, Song Zhihe Taotao’s second son is called Song Chimo.
He had discussed the child's name with Taotao before. If it's a girl, she'll be named Song Xianxian. If it's a boy, he'll be named Song Chimo after the eldest brother Song Feibai.
Xiao Chimo is as well-behaved as Xiao Feibai, and is also a child who doesn't cry or make a fuss during the confinement period. Most of the time, he just slept peacefully. When he is hungry or feels uncomfortable because of peeing or defecating, he will just hum a few times and twist his body... When his grandmother or father changes his diaper and takes him to his mother to feed, he falls asleep again.
Originally, Taotao's family of three slept in one room, but now with the addition of Xiao Chimo, the big bed was not big enough. In addition, during the confinement period, Taotao disliked the smell of sweat on her body and was afraid that it would disturb Xiao Feibai, so she let Xiao Feibai temporarily sleep in the next room with Tang Liren until she was out of confinement.
During this period, Song Zhi took care of Taotao during the day and also started making small beds suitable for his two sons.
In order to save space, he planned to build an L-shaped small bed in the corner, one for Feibai and one for Chimo. Feibai is already three years old, and his crib is just an ordinary crib. When Chi Mo was still young, Song Zhi used the green vines he found from the oasis to dry and harden them, then weaved them into a fence-like frame. He also heated the bottom over fire and bent it to make a base frame that could be inserted under the bed.
Considering that Chi Mo's skin was very tender, Song Zhi took apart an old bed sheet, made it into a cloth cover, and put it on the fence frame, which became a bed guard.
In this way, even if Chi Mo grows up and can roll over, when he rolls to the edge of the bed, he will be blocked by the bed guard and will not fall off the bed, nor will his delicate skin be hurt by the rough fence.
Song Zhi was very proactive and built the crib in just a few days. Little Feibai liked it very much. He lay in his little bed all day long... and he kept asking his father when he could sleep in his own little bed.
Song Zhi told him that his mother was currently in confinement after giving birth and needed to recuperate. When his younger brother grew up a little, he would be able to use the two small beds. So he could only build the bed frames outside first and wait until Taotao finished her confinement before doing anything else.
Little Feibai counted on his fingers every day, wondering when his little brother would be one month old...
Taotao once again had to endure the painful confinement life.
For Taotao, giving birth to her second child was much more painful than giving birth to little Feibai.
Oh no, it should be said that the process of giving birth to Xiao Feibai was very painful, but she just had to endure it. She was still very comfortable during the confinement period because her sister-in-law Tan Fenghui was taking care of her at that time, and they were at home in Kyoto. Although the weather was hot, she was in confinement upstairs, and if she didn't want to eat, she would force Song Zhi to eat it. Every night, Song Zhi could still help her bathe and wipe her body.
In short, my sister-in-law is easy to fool.
Now?
Tang Liren is not Tan Fenghui. She is not easy to fool and she keeps a close eye on Taotao.
But now it is early August, the hottest time of the year!
Tang Liren required Taotao to wear long sleeves and long pants, and she was not allowed to take a bath or wash her hair. Apart from that, all her food and drink had to be hot...
She killed a chicken every other day and stewed it until it was tender. Eighty percent of the chicken meat and chicken soup were left for Taotao, while Xiao Feibai and Aunt Hu each got 10%. She and Song Zhi ate ordinary meals, of course, they also had some meaty dishes such as stir-fried chicken offal with chopped peppers.
But how could Taotao finish... half a chicken in one day?
What’s more, each of the chickens Tang Liren bought was an old hen weighing three or four pounds!
More than a pound of chicken and a pot of greasy chicken soup every day... Taotao can't finish it even if she eats it three times a day. She was so fed up, and the weather was so hot, Tang Liren insisted that Taotao eat fresh and hot...
In short, Tang Liren and Song Zhi could always eat Taotao’s leftover chicken and chicken soup for three meals a day.
For Taotao, eating is not the most difficult thing.
——The most uncomfortable thing is that Taotao can’t take a bath now.
Now Tang Liren and Taotao live across from each other and share a bathroom. Even if Song Zhi favors Taotao, he can't find many opportunities to secretly let Taotao take a bath and wipe her body.
So Song Zhi could only sneak into the room with a pot of boiling water while Tang Liren was asleep in the middle of the night, and wipe Taotao from head to toe with a hot towel...
The rest is simply impossible.
Even when Taotao felt that she was in dire straits——
Suddenly an uninvited guest came.
It was Fang Ying, the wife of Song Zhi’s colleague Liu Xiaoxuan.
She came here on the satellite city's water delivery team.
In fact, no matter where you are, there is an unwritten convention: when there are postpartum women and newborns in other people's homes, no one is welcome to visit.
Because the mother needs to rest and the newborn is weak.
Going to someone else's house as a guest at this critical moment... unless they are close relatives, would be foolish. Because the woman who has just given birth has to meet visitors, isn't that a hassle?
But considering that Fang Ying was the wife of Song Zhi's colleague, Tang Liren still received her and let her in.
When Taotao heard that Fang Ying came to visit her, she was also very surprised.
Her relationship with Fang Ying was not very good, so why did Fang Ying suddenly come to see her?
Besides, there was something not quite right about Fang Ying.
As soon as she arrived, she looked around Taotao's research station...
Of course, Taotao was lying on the big bed in the room, unable to come out and unable to see what Fang Ying was doing.
But Song Zhi saw it.
——Fang Ying even looked through Taotao’s scientific research diary on her desk? ! Not only did I look through it, I also studied it very seriously for a while. However, most of the words in Taotao's diary are replaced by phrases of professional terms, and even more are data numbers, which even Song Zhi may not be able to understand. So Fang Ying stared at the diary, muttered to herself for a while, and then gave up.
After Fang Yingzhi had thoroughly studied the office of the research station, she staggered to Taotao's room.
She stood at the door of the room and looked around Bai Taotao's room.
The furniture and decorations in the house were simple, but kept extremely clean and tidy.
There are several pots of ordinary-looking green plants on the windowsill and the table, as well as four or five handmade photo frames. In the frames are photos of Taotao's family, photos of Taotao alone, and photos of her and Song Zhi, Xiao Feibai and their family of three.
The curtains and tablecloths are light blue with small white flowers. In this midsummer season, such light and fresh colors appear particularly refreshing and cool.
Then there are all kinds of books piled up in the bookcases and on the desks...
It looks like a scholar's house.
Fang Ying's gaze fell on Bai Taotao who was half lying on the bed.
I haven't seen her for almost half a year, and Bai Taotao has changed again.
Probably because she ate well during the confinement period and didn't go out much, Bai Taotao looked a little plumper, fair and tender, with snow-white skin and black hair. Her skin was so smooth and delicate that she looked like a fairy.
Tao Tao looked at Fang Ying with a smile and said, "Fang Ying is here? Why are you so polite? Since you are here... why bother to spend money to buy things to see me?"
Hearing this, Fang Ying blushed - she came here empty-handed.
“I, I…”
Fang Ying wanted to explain, but she couldn't utter a word.
Taotao, "What do you want to talk to me about?"
Fang Ying took a deep breath, "…Nothing much, I just feel annoyed seeing Liu Xiaoxuan, so I came out to relax!"
Tao Tao bluntly exposed, "If you don't want to see him, why bother to travel thousands of miles from your hometown to his workplace? Besides, he's at work at this time, right? Even if you stay in the dormitory, you won't be able to see him."
Fang Ying: …
"Well, I was just too bored staying in the satellite town, so I came out for a walk." Fang Ying said.
Taotao, "When are you going back?"
Fang Ying's voice was as thin as a mosquito. "I left him a note, saying he wanted to come to your place to relax and stay for a few days before leaving."
Tao Tao frowned, "I'm sorry, it's not convenient for me to entertain guests here. You can go back with the water delivery team later!"
Fang Ying looked at Taotao in surprise, "Bai Taotao, you..."
She never expected that Bai Taotao would be so rude to her? During the Chinese New Year, Bai Taotao lived with her as a family member in the satellite city. She was so kind and gentle at that time!
But now——
"If you and your husband want to quarrel, I can't interfere. But we are not familiar with each other, and the relationship between Song Zhi and Liu Xiaoxuan in our family is also ordinary. It's not to the extent that you can come to my place and eat and sleep for free just because you have a quarrel with your husband, right?" Taotao said bluntly.
Fang Ying's face turned red instantly.
She opened her mouth, wanting to say something in defense.
Tao Tao continued, "Look, you know I just had a baby and need to rest. But you just want to take advantage of me... You don't even want to pretend to come to visit me with some eggs and milk powder. How do you think I will see you?"
"Who gave you the illusion that I was a sucker? Just because you came, I have to treat you well, give you good food and drink, and let you live in my house?" Taotao asked her word by word.
Fang Ying felt ashamed.
At this time, Tang Liren brought over two bowls of sugar-water eggs.
According to the rules in my hometown, a woman who has just given birth must eat at least six meals a day during the confinement period. In addition to three meals a day, she must also have one more meal in the morning, afternoon and midnight snack.
Tang Li had arranged everything: Taotao's morning snack was sugar-water eggs, in the afternoon she had black sesame, walnut and peanut paste, and in the evening she had a small bowl of scrambled eggs with ginger and sesame oil, with some dough balls.
It's morning now, and Taotao is ready for a snack. Thinking that Fang Ying was there too, Tang Liren brought over two bowls.
Sugar-water eggs are made with regular dry goods such as longan, wolfberry, red dates and lotus seeds that are used to replenish qi and nourish the body, and a whole peeled egg. They are cooked after half an hour. All the nutrients are dissolved in the soup, making it golden and fragrant.
Fang Ying couldn't help but licking her lips.
Tang Liren had never heard Taotao and Song Zhi mention Fang Ying before.
However, the atmosphere in the room between Taotao and Fang Ying was not right. Song Zhi was standing at the door of Taotao's room with a strange look on his face too?
Tang Liren's expression remained unchanged. She still smiled and sent two bowls of sugar water in. Then she heard Taotao say, "Mom, let Song Zhi take Fang Ying back to Oasis and take the water truck back to Satellite City. Her lover is still waiting for her in Satellite City!"
Tang Liren understood.
——My daughter didn’t even want to stay for dinner, so this Fang Ying is here to cause trouble?
So Tang Liren only put down one bowl of sugar water for Taotao, and picked up another bowl of sugar water, and said with a smile: "Fei Fei didn't sleep well last night, so I specially cooked two bowls of sugar water. That bowl is for you, and this bowl is for Fei Fei." After that, she took the bowl of sugar water and went out.
Fang Ying was stunned.
She watched Tang Liren bring out the fragrant sugared eggs again.
After a while, Tang Liren brought another glass of boiled water and handed it to Fang Ying, saying kindly: "You've been driving all morning, you must be tired? Drink some water and go home early, don't delay the car!"
Fang Ying: …
Taotao held the sugar-water egg and drank it slowly.
The sweetness of the longan, wolfberry and red dates in the bowl is cooked out, so it tastes warm and sweet.
Fang Ying listened to Taotao's subtle chewing and swallowing sounds, smelled the rich sweet aroma of longan and red dates, and looked at the bland boiled water in the enamel cup in her hand...
She couldn't drink it at all.
When Taotao finished eating the sugar-water eggs, she shouted, "Song Zhi, you..."
She originally wanted Song Zhi to take Fang Ying to the Oasis to take the water truck from the satellite city, but then she changed her mind and felt that this arrangement would not work, and Song Zhi would not be able to do anything to Fang Ying.
"You...call Niu Niu over!" Taotao said.
Song Zhi went to call Niu Niu over.
As soon as Niu Niu came, Xiao Feibai followed.
Tao Tao ordered: "Niuniu, go and call your mother."
Niu Niu nodded, turned around and ran away.
When Xiao Feibai saw Fang Ying, his eyes lit up and he quickly greeted her, "Hello, Mommy!"
"Hello." Fang Ying forced a smile.
She never expected that the person who was most friendly to her here would be Xiao Feibai.
Xiao Feibai quickly ran around the research center, but he really couldn't find Mingming, so he ran back and asked Fang Ying, "Mingming's mom, where is Mingming?"
Fang Ying, "Obviously he...he is in his hometown!"
Hearing that Ming Ming didn't come, Xiao Feibai was disappointed.
Tao Tao asked Fang Ying, "So you came here alone? When did you come?"
Fang Ying replied: "I have been here for two or three days, and Liu Xiaoxuan's mother has been urging us to have another child."
Having said that, she couldn't help but look at Bai Taotao, feeling both envious and jealous.
——Bai Taotao is so lucky! She is so beautiful and her husband is also very capable. Song Zhi is the youngest doctoral student in the team! Not only his academic qualifications, experience and rank are all higher than Liu Xiaoxuan's. His salary and allowances are far higher than Liu Xiaoxuan's!
The most important thing is that Song Zhi still dotes on Bai Taotao so much! Bai Taotao's luck is so good that she won the first prize in the New Year's lottery! In addition, Bai Taotao's belly was also very good and she gave birth to two sons in a row!
Thinking of this, Fang Ying still felt a little angry.
Liu Xiaoxuan was also a very good student, so how come he became mediocre when compared with Song Zhi? She is also a famous beauty in her hometown, but compared with Bai Taotao's beauty... she looks dull and plain, not outstanding at all.
After a while, Xiao Qingjuan ran over and said, "Fei Fei's mom, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Tao Tao pointed at Fang Ying and said to Xiao Qingjuan with a smile, "Her name is Fang Ying, and she is the lover of Song Zhi's colleague. Qingjuan, please take her to Oasis and take the water truck from Satellite City back."
Xiao Qingjuan thought Fang Ying was here to visit Tao Tao, so she didn't say anything and just pulled Fang Ying up, "Comrade Fang, let's go. I'll take you to catch the bus!"
It's getting a bit late now, and the water delivery truck from the satellite city might have already left.
Xiao Qingjuan was a little anxious, so she grabbed Fang Ying and ran!
Taotao smiled.
Xiao Qingjuan and Fang Ying just left——
Song Zhi and Tang Liren walked into Taotao's room and said in unison:
Tang Liren, "Who is this person?"
Song Zhi, "Taotao, she was looking through your diary outside just now, and she read it for a long time."
Taotao fell into deep thought.
Song Zhi briefly explained Fang Ying's basic situation to Tang Liren, who frowned when she heard it.
Tao Tao said, "Song Zhi, don't worry about anything. Hurry up and write a note to Liu Xiaoxuan and ask the driver of the water truck to take it back. Tell Liu Xiaoxuan to come in person tomorrow morning to take his wife back."
Song Zhi was stunned. "You mean——"
Tao Tao sneered, "Didn't she just say that when she came, she left a note for Liu Xiaoxuan, saying that she would stay at my place for a few days... Although I don't know what her real purpose is, given the tense relationship between her and Liu Xiaoxuan, if she left a note in the morning and went back at noon... then how can she still act so arrogantly in front of Liu Xiaoxuan?"
Tang Liren understood, "So, Xiao Qingjuan will bring her back soon!" She is old and has recently been working in the Women's Federation, dealing with trivial and chaotic matters, and is accustomed to all kinds of bizarre methods.
So Tang Liren said, "Come on, place your bet! I bet she drank our water and said she had a stomachache, so she couldn't catch the bus back to Satellite City. I bet one dollar!"
Taotao smiled and said, "Then I bet that she accidentally fell and sprained her ankle so that she couldn't walk, so she missed the bus and came back. I also bet one dollar!"
Song Zhi: ...
He had no choice but to say, "Whoever guesses correctly gets this dollar." After saying that, he left the room, immediately wrote a note and personally delivered it to the water delivery team.
Taotao and Tang Liren burst into laughter.
Tao Tao then instructed Tang Liren, "Mom, pack some things later and let Niuniu's mom take them away. She doesn't know about this and will definitely suffer at the hands of Fang Ying. Let's give her some money!"
"Okay!" Tang Liren thought for a moment and discussed with Tao Tao, "We just killed a chicken this morning and got some chicken offal... Song Zhi and I are tired of eating chicken offal these days, so why not give that offal to Niuniu's mother, and I'll give her a bag of dried black fungus, what do you think?"
Taotao praised: "My mom is really good at doing favors!"
Tang Liren was coaxed into smiling by her daughter.
Then the mother and daughter started whispering to each other again, discussing how to deal with Fang Ying who was about to return.
Soon, the answer was revealed.
Xiao Qingjuan panted and carried Fang Ying back on her back, saying with a guilty look on her face, "I'm sorry, Feifei's mother. Comrade Fang didn't cooperate, so I... had to bring her back again!"
Fang Ying: …
What Xiao Qingjuan said was really a thorn in her side!
But Fang Ying thought about the fight between her and Xiao Qingjuan just now, and felt that she had neither the face to refute nor the words to say anything, so she lowered her head.
Xiao Qingjuan rolled her eyes at Fang Ying and said to Tao Tao, "It's like this. I took Comrade Fang to the oasis, but after walking a few steps outside, she fell and said she sprained her ankle! I looked... her feet were fine at all, without even a single red mark! But she just said that her feet hurt so much that she couldn't walk."
"I said, Comrade Fang, can I carry you there? She said yes, and I carried her to the lake. But after I ran two steps, she fell to the side! Yes, Comrade Fang is not fat, but she must weigh at least 100 pounds, right? She fell with me... Comrade Fang immediately comforted me and said it was okay, we can go back to the research station to rest together."
"Unfortunately, I didn't understand what Comrade Fang meant at that time. If I had said that, I would have missed your company's car! Then I got up, carried Comrade Fang on my back, and continued to run to the lake. Tsk tsk tsk tsk, I have walked that road for many years. I know how to walk with my eyes closed. But why did I fall seven or eight times on this short road after carrying Comrade Fang on my back?"
"Fortunately, there was dense grass on the hillside, so it didn't hurt when I fell... But after falling so many times, I think Comrade Fang must have felt more pain than me. At the end of the fall, I watched the water truck from Satellite City leave... Comrade Fang laughed out loud and said she couldn't go back to Satellite City today."
"Then I asked, what should you do if you can't go back to the satellite city? Comrade Fang said of course you should live in the research station, the house in the research station is tall and big. I said, but the research station doesn't have any extra house for you to live in, Comrade Fang, why don't you live in my house? My house was also a new house built this year, and only my daughter and I live there. I have an empty room and bed..."
"As a result, Comrade Fang didn't say anything, but as soon as I carried her on my back and walked towards my home, she would lie down behind me and fall to the side! She fell several times... We were about to walk out of the hillside, so I didn't dare to continue carrying her towards my home. What if she fell again, and fell into the mud? Falling won't kill you, but it will definitely hurt a lot."
"I had no choice but to say, Comrade Fang, let me take you back to the research station. Hey, it's so magical! When I carried Comrade Fang on my back to the research station, I was very steady and I really didn't fall once! Feifei's mother, don't you think it's weird?"
Xiao Qingjuan glared at Fang Ying coldly and told Taotao the whole story.
Fang Ying lowered her head and said nothing, twisting the corners of her clothes with her hands.
Tao Tao asked Xiao Qingjuan with concern, "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine! Really nothing happened!" Xiao Qingjuan said.
Taotao shouted loudly, "Mom! Mom!"
"Here I come!" Tang Liren hurried over, holding an enamel bowl with a lid in her hand.
She handed the enamel bowl to Xiao Qingjuan and said affectionately, "Juanzi, you've worked so hard today. You fell so many times... Is it hurting? Do you want Doctor Hu to take a look?"
"Aunt, I'm really fine!"
Xiao Qingjuan didn't know what was in the bowl, but she knew that it must be the good intention of Tang Liren and Taotao, so she refused to take the bowl and said to Taotao, "Fei Fei's mom, I, I have something else to do! I'll go and do it first! If you need me for anything else, please ask Niuniu to call me."
Xiao Qingjuan ran away.
Tang Liren chased after her with a bowl in hand, "Juanzi, don't run! Don't run... Listen to me..."
Xiao Qingjuan and Tang Liren ran out of the research station one after another.
Song Zhi came back after delivering the letter.
Tao Tao was delighted when she saw him, and said to Song Zhi, "One dollar!"
Song Zhi looked at Fang Ying in surprise and asked Tao Tao, "Did you guess it right?"
Taotao smiled and nodded.
Fang Ying looked at Song Zhi and then at Tao Tao, and felt that something was not right.
Tang Liren finally forced the bowl of chicken offal and black fungus into Xiao Qingjuan's hands, and asked her to return the bowl tomorrow...
Then he stepped into the house, and said to Fang Ying with a look of disappointment: "Didn't you just drink a glass of boiled water here? You could have just said that you felt uncomfortable in your stomach after drinking the boiled water, so you wouldn't have to trouble Niuniu's mother! You even pretended to fall several times! You're really stupid, what if you really got hurt..."
"Well! Even if you die from the fall, it's your own fault! But it would be terrible if Niu Niu's mother was hurt!" Tang Liren said bluntly.
Tao Tao found it more and more funny, and said, "It even caused my mom to lose a dollar in a bet!"
Fang Ying was stunned.
She was not stupid. From the conversation between Tang Liren and Bai Taotao, she realized that the mother and daughter had already seen through her little tricks. Even Tang Liren and Bai Taotao guessed her thoughts. Did the mother and daughter make a bet?
Fang Ying could not help but feel extremely embarrassed. She tried her best to save face and stammered, "I, I didn't... I, I really..."
Tang Liren glanced at Fang Ying and sneered, "Young man, I advise you to stop lying! Because Taotao is going to give birth, Song Zhi specially hired a retired doctor to stay at our house! As long as you dare to say that your foot is really sprained, then I will ask Doctor Hu to take a look at you! If Doctor Hu diagnoses that your foot is not sprained...then do you walk back to Satellite City from here now?"
Fang Ying shut up immediately.
But I felt jealous inside - what? Bai Taotao just gave birth to a child, not her first one, but Song Zhi actually hired a doctor at home for her? How much will this cost? ? ? Liu Xiaoxuan didn't have this intention, and it was impossible for him to spoil her like this!
Fang Ying bit her lower lip tightly.
But she wouldn't be stupid enough to offend her master on someone else's territory.
So she lowered her head and said nothing.
It seems like "I'm staying here anyway, what can you do to me?"
Tao Tao ignored Fang Ying and just told Song Zhi, "Lock all the documents and materials I left outside in the drawer! To prevent them from being damaged by irrelevant people."
Song Zhi went out to pack up the documents.
Fang Ying blushed, and she knew that Taotao's words were directed at her, but she said nothing.
Taotao ignored her. She was tired after all this trouble. Just then, little Chi Mo woke up, so Tao Tao called Song Zhi in and asked him to change the child's diaper and wash his butt. Then Tao Tao fed the child and then she lay down and fell asleep.
Song Zhi held the child and patted the burp out of him, then coaxed the child to sleep, and then carefully placed the child next to Taotao.
Fang Ying saw the whole thing and was stunned.
She never expected that Song Zhi would actually... take care of Bai Taotao and the child personally!
For a moment, she became even more jealous of Bai Taotao.
Finally it was lunch time and Bai Taotao woke up.
Fang Ying smelled the rich aroma of braised chicken and kept swallowing her saliva.
She thought to herself: Song Zhi has a high salary, so he is willing to spend money to hire a doctor to stay at home to look after Bai Taotao, so Bai Taotao's food will not be bad either. No matter what, Fang Ying is also a customer after all, so she can at least have a few bites... Ah, this braised chicken is so delicious!
This is also the reason why she has been forbearing.
Dinner will be served soon.
Tang Liren is responsible for cooking.
Normally, dishes and soup are served in bowls, and rice or noodles are served in bowls. Whatever dishes you want to eat, you can order them...
Considering that Fang Ying was here today, Tang Liren prepared the meal like in the company cafeteria, with each person having a large enamel bowl and adding the rice and dishes together.
Taotao always eats alone in the house, and the presentation of her meals is still the same as before: a large bowl of chicken and chicken soup, a small bowl of rice, and a few dishes piled on the top of the rice.
As for the others, Aunt Hu, Xiao Feibai and Niu Niu had pieces of stewed chicken dipped in sauce in their bowls; Tang Liren, Song Zhi and Fang Ying had no stewed chicken in their bowls.
Of course, the food cooked by Tang Liren is not bad either: braised eggplant with soybean sauce, black fungus with chicken oil, and ice grass with chili sauce and vinegar.
Taotao likes light food, and she always skims out the chicken fat when drinking chicken soup. Tang Liren was reluctant to waste the chicken oil, so she used it to cook black fungus today. So although black fungus is a vegetarian dish, it has absorbed the sweetness of the chicken oil and is very delicious!
Braised eggplant with soy sauce is Song Zhi's favorite; hot and sour ice grass is the most appetizing...
The food was still delicious.
But Fang Ying just couldn't figure it out...
She is a guest!
Is it too much for Tang Liren to do this? ? ?
But she didn't have the courage to find fault. After all, this was Bai Taotao's territory, and in the fight just now, she had already realized that Bai Taotao's mother was even more powerful than Bai Taotao...
Fang Ying had no choice but to eat the vegetarian dishes with a sense of resentment amid the rich aroma of chicken soup.
After a while, Taotao called Song Zhi from inside the house, saying that she couldn't eat any more chicken and chicken soup, and asked him to take it out and share it...
Fang Ying suddenly became a little excited again.
The neck is stretched long——
When she saw Song Zhi take out half a bowl of yellow chicken soup and chicken from the house, she even involuntarily prepared to pick up the chicken.
Unexpectedly, Tang Liren said with a half-smile: "Fang Ying, this bowl is all Taotao's leftovers, and it's stained with Taotao's saliva. I guess you are also a picky person. You definitely don't like to eat other people's leftovers, and you definitely don't want to eat other people's saliva, right?"
Fang Ying's chopsticks paused.
Then Tang Liren politely pushed the bowl towards Aunt Hu, "Old sister, come, come and eat!"
Fang Ying: Don’t you mind that the chicken is stained with Bai Taotao’s saliva this time? ? ?
Aunt Hu said, "No, no! Share it with Song Zhi and Xiao Feifei! I already have several pieces of chicken in my bowl..."
Tang Liren asked Niu Niu again if she wanted it.
Niu Niu had been warned by her mother Xiao Qingjuan, so she protected her bowl and refused to let Tang Liren give her any chicken nuggets. She also said, "Thank you, Grandma Feifei. Niu Niu has already eaten several pieces of chicken. That's enough!"
Tang Liren glanced at Fang Ying with a smile.
Fang Ying saw the sarcasm and ridicule in Tang Liren's eyes, and then watched Tang Liren deftly take the half bowl of chicken soup and the chicken, giving most of the soup to Xiao Feifei, most of the chicken to Song Zhi, and the remaining small portion... including the soup and the meat, poured it all into her own bowl.
After the meal, Fang Ying was the only one who didn't know what chicken tasted like!
I'm very angry.
After dinner, Fang Ying stood up silently and went out for a walk.
Tang Liren stared at Fang Ying's back for a while, and whispered to Niuniu, "Don't worry about Feifei at noon. I'll watch Feifei take a nap...you go follow her."
As she spoke, Tang Liren pouted at Fang Ying's back.
Niu Niu nodded, stood up and prepared to go out.
Tang Liren quickly ran back to her room, grabbed a handful of White Rabbit milk candies, and stuffed them into Niu Niu's pocket.
Niuniu wanted to cover her pocket, "Grandma Feifei, I don't want it..."
“Here!”
Tang Liren scolded, "If you don't take it, mother-in-law will be angry! Okay, hurry up and follow!"
Niu Niu had no choice but to run away quickly.
Aunt Hu felt a little strange and asked "what's wrong?"
Tang Liren explained a few words.
Aunt Hu also thought that Fang Ying was a strange person, so she decided to distance herself from her.
After lunch, Taotao called Xiao Feibai and Song Zhi into the house, and the family stayed together and chatted for a while. After Tang Liren finished washing the dishes and doing housework, she called Xiao Feibai over to take a nap.
Tao Tao quickly suggested that Tang Liren also take a nap with Xiao Feibai...
Tang Liren thought about it and felt that she should take a good rest while Xiao Niuniu was still helping to keep an eye on Fang Ying. After Xiao Niuniu comes home after dinner, she will have to keep an eye on Fang Ying herself!
So Tang Liren took Xiao Feibai to the next room to take a nap.
Taotao quickly asked Song Zhi to boil a large pot of water, and then closed the door of the research station. While Tang Liren was taking a nap, she washed herself thoroughly.
After taking a bath, Taotao felt refreshed and took a comfortable nap while hugging Song Zhi.
It was not until before dinner that she was woken up by Song Zhi.
Of course, it was impossible for Song Zhi to accompany Taotao to sleep for the whole afternoon. In fact, he just stayed with her until she fell asleep, and then he got up.
Niu Niu followed Fang Ying all the time and didn't come back until after three o'clock. Then Niu Niu told Song Zhi everything about Fang Ying's whereabouts and actions.
At this moment, Song Zhi lowered his voice and said to Tao Tao: "Niuniu said that Fang Ying was always wandering around the greenhouse at noon. Aren't there record sheets hanging at the door of your greenhouse? She was flipping through them one by one..."
Tao Tao was stunned. "What does Fang Ying do for a living?"
Song Zhi thought for a long time, "If I remember correctly, she seems to be a salesperson at the supply and marketing cooperative in their hometown?"
Tao Tao, "A salesperson at a supply and marketing cooperative is so curious about my research station? Does she think that I am... unworthy of my position?"
——Is it because Bai Taotao is too beautiful and not qualified to be a researcher? ? ?
Tang Liren shouted from outside: "Taotao is ready to eat! Song Zhi, come out and help Taotao with the meal!"
Song Zhi went out to get the food and brought it back in.
Taotao took a bath at noon and took a nap in the afternoon. She felt very relaxed and comfortable. Although it was still the same old chicken soup and chicken, but the appetite was good. He called Song Zhi to bring a small bowl to skim off the yellow chicken fat in the chicken soup, and then he gulped down most of the light and delicious chicken soup...
She also asked Song Zhi to take away the leftover chicken soup and chicken, and then asked him to bring the food he had eaten into the house to show her... Because she was jealous of the food Song Zhi was eating, she asked him to take more and bring it into the house for her to eat.
Tang Liren couldn't help but yell at Taotao in this room: You can't eat this, you can't eat that, a woman in confinement can only eat chicken and drink chicken soup!
Taotao shouted back in the room without showing any weakness: It's not her who wants to eat, it's the baby who wants to eat carrot milk and eggplant milk!
In the end, Song Zhi was scolded by Tang Liren, but he still endured the tremendous pressure and sent some rice and noodle soup to Taotao.
To the onlookers, Niuniu and Xiao Feibai had no reaction, and Aunt Hu was laughing silently while holding the bowl...
But Fang Ying wondered why.
——Bai Taotao is totally useless! So just because she is beautiful, she can do whatever she wants? ? ?
Fang Ying felt even more uncomfortable.
Fang Ying lowered her head and ate her meal in silence.
For dinner today, she was the only one who ate a completely vegetarian meal - it was noodle soup with a few slices of spinach, a handful of stir-fried pickled vegetables, a dozen fried peanuts, and a spoonful of chicken oil poured into it. It actually tasted very delicious.
Just watching Tang Liren share the chicken soup but she didn't get any...
This feeling is a bit uncomfortable
