170 Hey, here comes the eggplant

Finally, little Fu Haochen was forcibly carried into the bathroom by his father to be washed from head to toe, even the gaps between the toes were not spared. He was washed thoroughly and made sure to smell good before coming out of the bathroom.

Chenchen flew into his mother's arms, but Fu Zhengtu ignored him and took the cherries he bought back to wash them before putting them in front of Su Taotao.

I went into the bathroom again to wash the clothes I had just changed.

Whether it was the 1970s or the 21st century, these might actually be the jobs that most mothers do, but as long as Fu Zhengtu was there, he would do it all and Su Taotao wouldn't have to do anything.

Fu Zhengtu is always like this. His gentlemanliness is engraved in his bones. He doesn't say extra words. His kindness to her and his family is always quietly hidden in every detail of life.

"Come and eat some cherries before washing them." said Su Taotao.

Fu Zhengtu said without even turning his head: "You guys eat first, it will be quick."

Su Taotao held her fragrant son in her arms and helped him dry his hair before starting to eat cherries.

Chenchen has never seen this fruit before: "Mom~ Such a small fruit~"

Su Taotao: "This is called cherry. It is more common in the north and less common in the south. There is a very small pit inside. Be careful when eating it. Don't eat it or bite it."

The fragrant little kid nodded slowly: "It tastes good~~ Mommy~~"

Chenchen ate one and kept nodding his head: "Wow~~ so good~~ sour and sweet~~"

Su Taotao also likes to eat cherries. She thought Fu Zhengtu would buy apples, pears or something, but she didn't expect him to buy cherries. It was also an unexpected surprise for her.

“Mom thinks it’s delicious too.”

Chenchen ate another one: "Mom, I'll give some to Uncle Xiaoshu and Uncle Mumu."

"Okay." Su Taotao took half.

They were only two rooms apart. Su Taotao stood at the door and watched them open the door for Chenchen. Chenchen walked in. She was about to close the door when she heard Chenchen shout:

"Wow~~ You guys are so smelly~~ Go take a shower~~"

Su Taotao: “…”

But it is true that after I wash myself clean, I will think others stink.

Su Taotao closed the door only after making sure that the dust had not been brought back.

Fu Zhengtu finished washing the dusty clothes and came out to look for a clothes hanger.

Su Taotao took a few cherries in her hand, walked over barefoot, stood on tiptoe, and put her hands on Fu Zhengtu's shoulders: "Mr. Fu, do you want to eat cherries?"

Fu Zhengtu held her waist and pecked her lips, tasting a bit of cherry flavor: "I got it."

Su Taotao put a cherry in her mouth, moved it to Fu Zhengtu's lips, and looked straight into his eyes.

Fu Zhengtu understood, and held her lips and the cherry together, kissing them carefully. Just as he was about to take the cherry from her, the sound of dust and knocking on the door came.

"Mom~Open the door~"

The couple smiled at each other, the little light bulb came back, and their brief moment of being alone ended.

Fu Zhengtu still took the cherry from her, held her waist and kissed her hard before reluctantly letting her go.

Participants were issued meal tickets, and if they could not finish the food, it would be forfeited and there would be no refund. Everyone usually ate in the cafeteria.

But Su Taotao's family had two more children who didn't have meal tickets, and they had used up their evening meal tickets at noon, so they decided to go out to eat and take in the night view of the capital.

The situation was the same for Mumu. Only one meal ticket was issued to Engineer Mo, and they also had to solve one meal on their own every day.

So the two families set out together again to look for food.

Fu Zhengtu has been to the capital many times, but he always stayed in a guesthouse where he ate and slept, and his route was always between the railway station, the guesthouse and the conference venue. It can be said that he knew nothing about the situation outside.

Unlike Mr. Mo, Mumu has more or less inherited his and Aunt Zhong's "social bull" qualities and can chat with anyone.

"I asked the locals in the capital, and there's an authentic fried noodles nearby. I'll lead the way, and we can go and try it."

Su Taotao knew that although it was forbidden to do business openly these days, it was still possible to sell snacks secretly, or if one lived in a busy alley with a unique geographical location, one could sell snacks in one's own home. As long as it was not too excessive or was not reported by others, there would generally be no problem.

Some people have even seen people with red armbands eating at these fly restaurants.

But everyone was cautious. If you wanted to go in to eat, you had to give secret signals, such as knocking on the door three long and one short, or chanting the slogan "天王盖地虎", etc. There were all kinds of signals.

Su Taotao's family are all good citizens who abide by the law. They don't even go to the black market to buy things. Now they follow Mo Gong in twists and turns, and just having a meal is like being the head of an underground organization. The kids are really excited.

Chen Chen lay on Fu Zhengtu's shoulder, staring at the alley with curiosity: "Mom, are we going to beat up Auntie?"

Su Taotao laughed and stood on tiptoe to pinch his face: "Where do so many bad aunts come from? Didn't we say that we are going to eat fried noodles?"

Chen Chen was puzzled: "Why did Sen have to be so sneaky this time?" Well, sneaky is a new word he learned from his uncle telling bedtime stories two days ago. So it should be correct to use it like this, right?

This time even Mo Gong couldn't help laughing, and said: "Good wine is not afraid of a remote alley, because the food is delicious, so it is hidden deep."

It was clearly his first time here, but he talked as if he had eaten there before.

"Ah~ It's so sweet~" Chen Chen believed it to be true.

Mumu couldn't help but ask, "Dad, how long are we going to walk? I'm starving."

"We're here." Engineer Mo pointed ahead. "Your uncle Zhao said that when you see the crooked locust tree, turn right and it's the first house. Isn't that it?"

A group of people walked over, and Engineer Mo knocked on the door like it was Morse code.

Not long after, the door opened with a creak, and a small dark head popped out. It looked around, and when it saw Su Taotao and her group, the boy exclaimed "Oh my god!" and slammed the door shut.

Su Taotao and the others: "..." and Mo Gong looked at each other, "What do you mean?"

Before Mr. Mo could say anything, the door opened again. This time, a lady wearing a floral dacron skirt, holding a spatula and wearing a rag apron opened the door. She called out, "Hey, here we come. Why are there so many people? Come on, come in first."

After all of them had gone in, she carefully looked around and only closed the door after seeing that there was nothing unusual.
