221 She gave me an advance of five dollars without saying a word!
When the couple returned home, the two children were already awake.
Fu Yuanhang was cleaning the yard. Chenchen was chasing Baibai for fun. When he heard the door open, he decisively gave up chasing Baibai and rushed over.
Chen Chen was moving too fast, and the kid, who didn't know how to control his speed, would have crashed into Fu Zhengtu's legs and fallen flat on his face if Fu Zhengtu hadn't been quick enough to pull him back.
"Dad and Mom~~Where have you been~~Why don't you ask Chenchen to go with you~~"
Fu Zhengtu carried all the things. Su Taotao, who had nothing in her hands, picked up the child and kissed him:
"I'm going to buy breakfast for our lovely little friend Chenchen~~" Su Taotao imitated Chenchen's tone and touched the little boy's forehead with her own.
Chenchen pressed his head against his mother's forehead and twisted his body: "What good things did you buy for Chenchen~~"
Su Taotao: "Pancakes~~"
Chen Chen laughed out loud with joy.
Su Taotao kissed his face again before letting him go to play.
Fu Zhengtu is setting the table for breakfast.
Su Taotao said, "Go make a fire and make a bowl of longevity noodles for Xiaohang."
Fu Zhengtu said, "Don't we eat pancakes for breakfast?"
Su Taotao said: "With the appetites of the two of you brothers, can't you finish just a bowl of longevity noodles?"
Fu Zhengtu: "..." Isn't it because of your good cooking skills? They can't eat so much outside.
In a short while, Su Taotao prepared four bowls of longevity noodles.
Among the four bowls of noodles, her bowl only had a few noodles and a poached egg, Chenchen had half a bowl with a poached egg, and Fu Zhengtu and Fu Yuanhang had a full bowl with a poached egg.
Chenchen looked at the four golden poached eggs and exclaimed “Wow~~”:
"Mom~~ So many times today~~ Didn't you buy some fruit~~"
Su Taotao said, "Last time on Chenchen's birthday, we also had longevity noodles. Today is your uncle's birthday, so we have to eat longevity noodles as well."
"Ah~~" Chenchen remembered, "What about Mama~~ Cake~~"
Su Taotao said, "There's not enough time in the morning. Mom will do it when she comes back at noon."
Fu Yuanhang said: "Sister-in-law, forget it if you are too busy. You don't have to eat the cake. You can just eat longevity noodles."
He felt very happy having his whole family eat longevity noodles with him.
Su Taotao said, "It's a quick one. Oh, there's salt in the pot. It will be almost done when the charcoal is burned. I'll make it for Mr. Tang and the others tomorrow morning."
Fu Yuanhang looked guilty again: "No need, sister-in-law, you finally get a day off, this is too tiring."
Su Taotao sighed, "I can't rest. I have to go to town to do some work tomorrow."
Chenchen raised his little fleshy hand and asked, "Mom, what about me? I'm swollen, what should I do?"
Su Taotao deliberately made an expression of "sudden enlightenment": "Oh, yes, we Chenchen also have a day off tomorrow, what should we do?"
Chenchen pouts.
Su Taotao pinched his little fat:
"I'm just kidding. You have two choices tomorrow. One is to follow your uncle to learn painting, and the other is to follow your dad to work."
Chenchen looked up at her, her face full of hope: "Why not just three people~~ Can't you just follow mommy~~"
Su Taotao suddenly remembered that Chenchen’s “safety seat” was already ready, so she could take Chenchen with her. Xiaolu would also go with her, and he would probably be happy to help with the “hard work” and carry Chenchen on his back.
Su Taotao nodded and said, "That's fine, but following mom will be harder than following uncle and dad."
Chenchen shook his head and said: "Chenchen is not afraid~~ I just want to follow Mommy~~ Chenchen used to follow Mommy every day~~"
Su Taotao touched the child's head and said, "I'm sorry, Chenchen. Mommy has much less time to spend with you now."
Chenchen shook his head again: "Everyone's parents are going to work~~ Other children also go to school like~~ Uncle Chenchen~~"
Su Taotao smiled with relief, picked up her bowl and clinked it with Chenchen's bowl: "Chenchen is right, Chenchen is smarter than mom. Cheers."
Chen Chen picked up his own bowl and clinked it with Fu Yuanhang's bowl, imitating Su Taotao's example: "Happy birthday, little uncle~~Grow up quickly~~Cheers~~"
Fu Yuanhang smiled and touched his bowl back: "Thank you, Chenchen."
Chen Chen raised a bowl that was bigger than his face and said to Fu Zhengtu: "Daddy~~"
Chen Chen’s bowl of noodles was not hot and there was no soup, otherwise Fu Zhengtu would be worried that he would spill it all over himself.
I had no choice but to stand up, pick up the bowl and clink it with him: "Be good."
Chen Chen was satisfied and put down his bowl: "I'm very good~~"
After saying that, he started eating noodles with big mouthfuls.
…
After the whole family had breakfast, Fu Zhengtu was the first to go out.
Fu Yuanhang was washing dishes in the kitchen when Mumu came downstairs and knocked on the door, holding a new basketball in his hand.
Mumu gave Su Taotao a big smile: "Good morning, Sister Taozi, where is Ah Hang?"
Su Taotao pointed to the kitchen and said, "Wash the dishes inside."
Mumu hid the basketball behind him and said, "I'll go find him."
Then Mumu tiptoed into the kitchen, ready to tap him on the shoulder to scare him.
As a result, Fu Yuanhang turned around first and looked at Mumu who raised his right hand.
"I heard your voice from a long distance away, and then you suddenly became quiet, intending to do something bad."
Mumu still patted Fu Yuanhang's back: "You are worthy of being my brother, as smart as me."
Fu Yuanhang looked behind him: "What are you hiding?"
Mumu handed him the basketball obediently: "This is for you, a birthday present."
Fu Yuanhang was stunned for a moment: "Didn't we agree that we don't need to give each other gifts and just buy whatever we like?"
Mumu stuffed the brand new basketball into his arms: "I don't trust you. You keep touching my basketball every day and you don't want to buy one yourself. I'm generous and I'm giving it to you."
Fu Yuanhang took it subconsciously: "Where did you get the money?"
Mumu straightened his back and said confidently, "Of course I earned it by working part-time!"
Fu Yuanhang: "Besides the one in the factory, do you have any other part-time jobs to earn money for your studies?"
Mumu nodded: "Of course, speaking of which, I still have to thank Sister Taozi. Miss Zhong has become Director Zhong now and is extremely busy.
I couldn't take care of the housework, so when she asked me to do something, I asked her for labor fees, saying that I wanted to save money to buy her a basketball.
Guess what happened? She gave me an advance of five dollars without even saying a word!
Mumu slapped her in the face. That was a stingy girl named Zhong Nutu. She actually spent five dollars at once!
He was almost scared to death.
In addition, he told Ms. Zhong about his "adventures" in Qinglian Village, acknowledged Fu Yuanhang's mother as his godmother, and gave her a pair of two-yuan sandals as a gift.
Ms. Zhong didn't feel sorry at all, and even praised him for doing the right thing. She told him to be nice to her godmother when she came in the future!
Mumu almost thought that her mother had been replaced by someone else.
Now he understood that Miss Zhong really liked Sister Taozi and her family and would make exceptions for anything.
