301 You came at the right time. I'll show you something.
Su Taotao rarely has the opportunity to take Fu Yuanhang out alone.
"Rarely a chance" is not accurate, it should be "the first time".
Every time they go out, Fu Yuanhang acts as Chenchen's "transportation tool", either carrying the child on his back or holding the child in his arms. It is rare for him to feel so relaxed.
Su Taotao finished her work at noon. As agreed in the morning, she would go to Mr. Tang's place to pick him up before lunch and take him for a good stroll.
"Why don't we have lunch before leaving?" Mr. Tang said reluctantly.
Su Taotao said: "Tomorrow is the weekend, I will take him out for a walk today."
Fu Yuanhang has been busy taking care of two children at home recently and has almost no time for himself.
Mr. Tang thought about it and said, "Will Chenchen come over tomorrow?"
Su Taotao said: "He probably won't come. He has to go to school."
Mr. Tang: "Isn't tomorrow the weekend? Do you have school on weekends?"
"The factory has been busy filling orders recently and has implemented a rotation system before the Chinese New Year, and the same applies to the Yuhong class," said Su Taotao.
When Chen Pingguo or Aunt Qin was on vacation, someone would be assigned from the factory to help look after the children.
When adults are resting, children can play at home or be sent to school.
If you send your children to school, the adults can also have a better rest. It depends on your personal opinion.
This is the temporary arrangement. Once the new factory is built, everything will return to normal.
Su Taotao took Fu Yuanhang to eat at a state-owned hotel.
Fu Yuanhang was already able to handle things on his own. He went into the hotel and found a seat for Su Taotao: "Sister-in-law, what do you want to eat? I'll go get it."
Su Taotao said, "Red braised pork, you can handle the rest."
Fu Yuanhang ordered a braised pork dish and a braised tofu and cabbage dish.
Nowadays everyone is thrifty, so one dish per person is already pretty good.
"You only ordered these two? It's a rare opportunity for you to come here, so order another one you want to eat." Su Taotao said.
Fu Yuanhang came closer and whispered, "What else do you want to eat? I think nothing they cook is as delicious as what you cook."
Su Taotao couldn't help but laugh: "Okay, what do you want to eat tonight? I'll make it for you."
Fu Yuanhang is no longer like he used to be, not daring to mention anything. He thought for a moment and said, "I haven't had the basil duck you made for a long time."
The braised duck with basil made by Su Taotao is also absolutely amazing, the kind you will never forget once you have tasted it.
In fact, there are quite a lot of ducks here. Some are raised by the sea and eat small fish and clams. The meat is very delicious. Duck Egg Mother used to be an employee of a duck farm.
Later, Su Taotao opened a food factory and I moved to work there.
"Okay," Su Taotao nodded, "We'll go buy some ducks later and ask Auntie Zhong to help kill them. You'll be responsible for plucking the feathers."
Su Taotao looked at the duck's hair follicles and felt so terrified that this was one of the reasons why she rarely did duck work.
Fu Yuanhang grinned: "Okay."
Although the braised pork was delicious, Su Taotao felt sick of it after eating only two or three pieces.
Su Taotao doesn't like fatty meat, so Fu Yuanhang picked out the lean meat for her and ate the greasy fatty meat with skin himself.
The slightly sweet braised pork bursts with juice as soon as you bite it, filling your mouth with sweetness and fragrance. Fu Yuanhang feels that he will never get tired of it no matter how much he eats.
Fu Yuanhang had suspected before that Su Taotao said she didn't like fatty meat because she wanted to leave the delicious fatty meat for them and eat the dry and tough lean meat herself.
Later I found out that it was not the case. Even after making a big pot of it, Su Taotao still refused to touch a piece of fat meat.
Fu Yuanhang then realized that she really didn't like eating fatty meat.
How can someone not like to eat fatty meat?
It’s so delicious.
Fu Yuanhang couldn't figure it out.
It must be said that the chef's skills in this state-owned hotel are quite good.
In the end, most of the bowl of braised pork went into Fu Yuanhang's stomach.
Su Taotao ate a lot of stewed tofu and cabbage.
Su Taotao put down her chopsticks after finishing her meal and asked: "Where do you want to go later?"
Fu Yuanhang was still sweeping the floor, scraping off the last grain of rice before he said, "Let's go to the bookstore. I want to buy some books."
Fu Yuanhang saved some money recently and hasn't spent much of it.
"Don't just think about reading all day long. Relax occasionally and combine work with rest," said Su Taotao.
Fu Zhengtu, his brother, felt that he was not enriched enough, so he arranged for him to listen to English tapes in the evening, and even Chenchen followed suit.
This morning when children wake up they no longer say “Good morning”, instead they say “Good morning”.
Su Taotao didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
But this uncle and nephew are also interesting. They can't tell the difference between studying and playing. To them, studying is also playing.
That should be a good thing.
Fu Yuanhang smiled and said, "Reading is not tiring. I have run out of stories in stock. I repeat the same broadcasts to Chenchen every day. I want to read some new stories and tell them to Chenchen."
Listen.
After Fu Yuanhang finished speaking, he added: "I want to see it myself."
Su Taotao had no objection: "Okay, let's go buy some books. School is about to start. Let's buy some stationery."
Fu Yuanhang: "Okay."
…
In addition to buying books, Fu Yuanhang also bought a lot of stationery, including various pens, pencil cases, notebooks, drawing paper... everything.
He not only bought things for Chenchen, but also for Pangpang, and insisted on paying with his own pocket money.
Su Taotao let him do what he wanted.
She was very hands-off in raising her children, and Fu Yuanhang and Chen Chen were used to making their own decisions.
Fu Yuanhang picked up an abacus and said, "Sister-in-law, I want to buy this for Chenchen."
Su Taotao: “…”
"Don't buy it yet. Your brother gave him a new toy today. Wait until he gets tired of it before buying it."
Chenchen is good in every way except that he is a little picky about toys. He can quickly master anything and gets bored easily.
It seems that there are no Rubik's Cubes these days, otherwise I could buy one for him to play with.
Fu Yuanhang thought about it and agreed. He thought that the radio Dust at home could be played with for a long time, so he decided to buy one next time.
"Buy another set of clothes for Pangpang." Li Qiuju is not completely inhumane yet. She won't treat Pangpang unfairly when it comes to clothes and shoes. She still knows how to put on some appearances.
But after abandoning Pangpang, he didn't even send his things to him.
The clothes that Pang Pang wears now are all hand-me-down clothes that were worn by other children of similar age.
Nowadays, it is normal to sew for three years and mend for three years, sew and mend for another three years, and let the eldest child wear the clothes first, then the second child, and continue to wear them until the clothes can no longer be worn.
But Su Taotao still bought him one.
Su Taotao's family really didn't have any extra cloth coupons, and these were given to her by Mo Jiazhe.
"Pangpang is growing very fast. I think I should buy a bigger size," said Fu Yuanhang.
Su Taotao thought about it and agreed. Summer would be over soon, and it would be a pity if the clothes didn't fit her next year, so she bought a size bigger.
Finally, they went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some food. Chenchen specifically asked to bring some delicious food, so today they bought some walnut cookies, which the children should like very much.
On the way, they met the lady who was selling watermelons last time. Su Taotao bought all of them from her and asked the lady to put the two full baskets in the trunk of the car.
On the way back, Su Taotao took Fu Yuanhang to take a look at the construction site first.
The foundation of the new factory has been laid and the current construction progress is normal, except that there is smoke and dust everywhere.
Su Taotao stuffed a bag of peach cakes into Lao Gao's pocket, and asked Fu Yuanhang to unload eight or ten large watermelons.
Lao Gao happily accepted it.
He has gotten used to it. Su Taotao always finds ways to be nice to the workers.
They built a shed and earthen stoves on the construction site to serve as a makeshift canteen. In addition to cooking normal meals, the chef also cooked green bean soup and various scented teas to relieve the heat.
Since the construction started in midsummer, no one on the construction site has suffered from heatstroke.
"You've come at the right time. Let me show you something." Lao Gao said mysteriously.
"What is it?" Su Taotao followed curiously.
