355 Actually I know, but I want to hear it from you

Fu Zhengtu and his friends queued for half a day, but in the end each of them only bought four apples.

Apples cannot be grown in the south, so they are all shipped from the north. The quantity is limited, and each family is limited to purchasing four apples. The grain certificate must also be stamped to prevent anyone from taking advantage of the situation.

Fu Zhengtu never expected that four apples would take up so much of his precious time.

The year-end benefits of their unit were actually pretty good, and they also gave out a few apples and pears. If he had known they were so hard to buy, he would have exchanged some with a colleague who was back home for the New Year.

Fortunately, there was no purchase limit on local fruits such as tangerines, oranges and bananas, so he bought a few more.

Several gay men first moved the "trophies" to the car and then went to the state-owned hotel to meet up with the lesbians.

Su Taotao and her friends had already ordered the food and were waiting for the gay men.

The state-owned hotel opens at 11 o'clock, and people have been queuing up since early. Fortunately, Aunt Zhong had the foresight to come and queue up early, otherwise I don't know when I would have been able to eat.

There were so many of them that the waiter could only give them the largest table for eight people. Chenchen and Pangpang ate their entire meal in their father's arms.

I don’t know if the chef didn’t perform up to his standard today, or if the food in this restaurant is just not good. Even people like Pangpang and Mumu, who are not picky eaters, think the food is not tasty. We just barely filled our stomachs and prepared to go home.

After leaving the state-owned hotel, Li Shouwang said very embarrassedly: "I want to buy some clothes for Pangpang, why don't you go back first..."

"No problem," Su Taotao said, shaking her head. "I haven't been to the mall in the city either. It's still early, so I want to go shopping too."

Su Taotao said to the two children, "Chenchen and Pangpang, don't go. It's too crowded in there and you will be squashed. Why don't you stay in the car and rest?"

Both children have the habit of taking a nap at noon, and they feel a little sleepy after eating.

Naturally no comments.

"I'm not going..."

"I'm not going..."

Aunt Zhong and Zhou Linglan, each holding a child, said almost at the same time.

Aunt Zhong said, "Neither of us wants to go. Let's just stay in the car and watch over the children."

Dong Shengping said, "I won't squeeze them either."

The children's things had been prepared for half a year, and Hu Weiling's things were almost ready as well, so there was nothing missing in his family.

Su Taotao didn't really want to go, but just wanted to give Li Shouwang a chance, so she said, "Brother Li, you go in first. Even if we go in together, we'll be squeezed out in a little while. Let's buy our own things and come back here and wait."

Li Shouwang nodded, said nothing, and got up to go to the mall first.

Su Taotao reminded Fu Yuanhang and Mumu not to run around. She and Fu Zhengtu reached out their hands tacitly and held each other's hands as they walked forward.

Aunt Zhong looked at their backs and smiled, "They have such a good relationship. They are a perfect match made in heaven."

Zhou Linglan was also very relieved. She was a little worried before coming. After all, her eldest son's work was his life, and he was not talkative and didn't know how to make people happy.

She was really worried that Su Taotao wouldn't be able to stand him.

Now I am not worried at all.

They both have very stable personalities and are very compatible with each other. They never seem to quarrel or even have disagreements.

Su Taotao and Fu Zhengtu actually have very little time to themselves.

Not to mention Chenchen, that little light bulb, usually either he or she is busy, and it is a luxury for the two of them to take a walk hand in hand like they are doing now.

Su Taotao sometimes wonders what liking someone is and what being in love is.

At this moment, she suddenly realized that love means that even in a noisy crowd, just by holding the other person's hand, you can feel the other person's heartbeat.

No matter how many people there are or how noisy the crowd is, there may only be each other in your eyes.

Su Taotao suddenly pinched Fu Zhengtu's palm and looked up at him.

Fu Zhengtu lowered his eyes to look at her, frowned, and then pulled her in front of him: "Just keep going forward, I'll be behind you."

In the crowded crowd, Fu Zhengtu used his arms to carve out a small space for Su Taotao.

Su Taotao stopped and said, "Since there's nothing to buy, let's go back."

Fu Zhengtu didn't ask anything, just said "OK", then took her to the other side and walked out.

The couple finally left the crowd.

Su Taotao breathed in the fresh air and suddenly asked Fu Zhengtu softly, "Fu Zhengtu, I think I've never asked you before, whether you like me or not."

In the past, she thought it was unimportant and tried everything with the mentality of "just give it a try". Now that the New Year is approaching, people's emotions are somewhat volatile, and today she suddenly wants an answer.

Fu Zhengtu looked into Su Taotao's eyes for a while before he said seriously, "I thought you didn't need to ask this question."

The level of tacit understanding between them was far beyond his imagination, the kind of harmony from body to soul that needed no words at all.

Su Taotao said: "Actually I know, but I want to hear it from you today."

Fu Zhengtu looked at her deeply and led her to a more secluded place.

"Taotao, the word 'love' is too shallow. You are my love, my family, and an indispensable part of my life.

I'm just sorry that I don't have enough time to spend with you."

But in fact, compared to before she came to the base, the current working state is already the easiest for Fu Zhengtu. No matter how busy he is, he must go home every day, must see the child, and must hold her to sleep.

There was a time when work was all he cared about in his life, and a dormitory was not important to him because he often slept in the laboratory.

His toiletries and spare clothes were kept in the rest room of the laboratory, and it was common for him not to return to the dormitory for ten days or half a month.

Now he realizes that this is not possible. She and this family are also a very important part of his life, as important as his work.

"It's a lot," Su Taotao looked at him, "You are so busy at work, but I can see you every day except when you are on business trips. I eat the breakfast you buy every day. You also take time out to help me with the laundry and housework, and do so many things for Chenchen at home. You are involved in every step of Chenchen's growth.

You are a good husband and a good father."

The lesbians in the base all envy her, and the kids in the base all envy Chen Chen, which shows how successful he is in these two identities.

The couple looked at each other, and if the occasion was not wrong, Fu Zhengtu would have wanted to hug her.

Su Taotao is the same, but the situation is really wrong.

"It's a rare occasion for you to come out, so if you want a New Year's gift, let's go buy one." This was the first New Year they spent together.

Su Taotao shook her head and squeezed Fu Zhengtu's hand: "I have received the best New Year's gift."

The best New Year's gift is for you to say that the word "like" is too shallow. I am your lover, your family, and an indispensable part of your life.
