383 Returning to my mother's home (7)

After Xu Jiadong left, Su Taotao's family was the only ones left in the small tube-shaped building, and the atmosphere was inexplicably awkward.

Fortunately, Su Wenhan, this funny guy, had seen enough of the show and finally came out to help.

It was a rare occasion for the young lady to come back, so Su's mother got up early in the morning and worked in the kitchen for a long time. She finally sent away all the irrelevant people, and the whole family could finally sit down and have a comfortable meal.

Father Su was so happy that he took out the good wine that he had treasured for many years and had been reluctant to drink.

Su's mother glared at Su's father in annoyance: "Why are you drinking in broad daylight? They have been on the bus for a long time, can't they have a good meal and rest?"

Dad Su smiled and stood up to pour wine for Fu Zhengtu. Just as Fu Zhengtu was about to stand up, Su Wenhan at the side took it over with great insight and filled Dad Su's glass first.

"It's rare that I'm so happy today. A few sips of this wine can help me sleep. Brother-in-law, isn't that right? Is it because my sister is very strict and doesn't allow me to drink normally? It's okay. When you get to my brother's house, my brother will protect you. I guarantee she won't even dare to breathe heavily."

As Su Wenhan spoke, he threw a wink at Su Taotao, suggesting "give your brother some face."

Su Taotao is simply too embarrassed to watch. It's definitely not a coincidence that this guy can't get married. It's because the girl is blind!

After Su Wenhan poured wine for Fu Zhengtu, he winked at Fu Yuanhang and said, "Brother, would you like some too?"

Before Su Taotao could say anything, her mother knocked Su Wenhan's hand with a chopstick: "Are you looking for death? That's enough. How old is Ah Hang?"

Chen Chen held his bowl and looked at Su Wenhan eagerly: "Second uncle, why don't you ask me? Why don't I have any?"

Su Wenhan laughed out loud: "Yes, yes, yes, how could I forget my eldest nephew? Come on, fill up my eldest nephew, we won't leave until we are drunk today!"

Father Su couldn't help but kick Su Wenhan on the calf: "Sit back!"

Then he looked at Chenchen with a friendly face and said, "Children can't drink alcohol. Chenchen should drink orange soda first. You can drink alcohol when you grow up."

Little Chen Chen looked at his mother.

Su Taotao: "Drinking alcohol won't make you taller. Even my uncle can't drink. What do you think?"

Chenchen looked at his father again.

Fu Zhengtu shook his head.

Chen Chen puffed up his cheeks and said, "Okay, I'll drink the soda then."

The whole family enjoyed this rare home-cooked meal happily.

Even though the two elders still had a lot to say to Su Taotao, seeing their tired faces they had no choice but to give up. It wouldn't matter a bit more time anyway.

The tube-shaped building of several dozen square meters was originally spacious enough for a family of three, but suddenly four more people moved in and it seemed much more crowded.

"I have cleaned up your room. You can stay in the same room as before. But the bed is a little small and I am afraid it will be crowded with dust."

Su Wenhan was full and in a good mood. He waved his hand and spoke in a human way: "I'll give up my room to my brother-in-law and his brother. Taotao and Chenchen will live there, and I'll live in the living room. Isn't that settled?"

Fu Zhengtu shook his head: "How can I let my second brother sleep in the living room? How about this, I will sleep in the living room, and you and Ah Hang will stay."

Fu Yuanhang also shook his head: "I'll sleep in the living room, you guys stay in one room."

"don't want!"

"don't want!"

Fu Zhengtu and Su Wenhan had a rare tacit understanding.

Su Wenhan touched the goose bumps on his arm and said: "I am still a virgin and I don't sleep with adult gay men!"

Everyone: ???

Su Taotao: “…” Is there anyone who can take care of this guy?

"Chenchen has been living with Ah Hang at home. How about this? Zhengtu and I will live in one room, Ah Hang and Chenchen will sleep in the second brother's room, and the second brother will have to sleep in the living room."

Su Taotao made the final decision with one blow.

Su Wenhan closed his eyes and waved his hands: "Anyway, the room is given to you, you can arrange it yourselves."

Mother Su also said, "Let's decide it. If I wasn't worried about blocking other people's way, I would have let him sleep in the corridor."

Su Wenhan opened one eye and pretended to be wronged: "Mom, how can you say that? Am I not your biological child? I was picked up, right?"

Mother Su didn't give him any face: "Yes, I picked it up from the trash can at the street corner. We don't have a lazy guy like you in our family. If you weren't afraid of hard work and fatigue, would Taotao have been able to go to the countryside?"

"Mom, you have no conscience for talking like that, do you? I didn't say I didn't want to go. It was Taotao and Xu... ahem, who insisted on going out of spite. When I came back, she had already signed up. I had a way to stay. We can't let another person go for nothing, right? I'm not that stupid.

But it’s true. If she hadn’t gone to the countryside, how could you have such a handsome son-in-law and grandson? This is called a blessing in disguise, otherwise she would have been with Xu... cough cough... Forget it, I’m going to sleep!"

Su Wenhan snorted, lay down on the sofa, turned around and faced the wall to reflect on his mistakes.

Mother Su was too lazy to pay attention to him. She brought over the quilt that she had just washed two days ago and led the couple into the room:

"Nothing in your room has been moved. Your eldest brother and his wife rarely stay overnight at home. When they occasionally come back to stay overnight, I let them sleep in your second brother's room, and your second brother sleeps in the living room."

For this reason, Su's eldest sister-in-law often scolded Su's mother, saying that Su's sister-in-law was a treasure and her sons were weeds, and that she, the daughter-in-law of the Su family, had no place to sleep when she came back.

In fact, apart from the fact that his children also have the same surname as Su, Brother Su is similar to Ru Yu in other aspects. In everything, Sister-in-law Su's family comes first.

It has been a long time since outsiders have laughed at Brother Su for being a gigolo.

Brother Su himself doesn't care. He just wants to live a life of luxury. Whoever's family has delicious food and can let him work less for a few decades, he will treat the daughter of the family like a treasure and be a good husband and son-in-law who is filial to his parents.

He can even say to outsiders with a smile, "There's nothing I can do. Who made me handsome and likable? My father-in-law and mother-in-law treat me like their own son. What can I do? Why don't you try it too? Although it's a bit difficult, try your best. What if a blind cat meets a dead rat? Right?"

I have seen people who live off their mistresses, but I have never seen one who does it so openly. He is speechless. What else can others say?

The two elders had nothing to complain about. They had not retired yet, so they could not help Big Brother Su take care of the children. They also did not expect Big Brother Su to support them in their old age. They could just think of it as helping their in-laws raise their son.

It's not true that Brother Su has any problems with his character or is unfilial to his parents.

He has a proper job, works diligently, treats his wife and children like treasures, and is well-known for loving his wife. It is indeed Su Dasao's family that takes the initiative to treat him well with all their heart.

He is good-looking, sweet-talking, gentle, and really likable.

In short, there is no stealing or robbing. When Zhou Yu fights Huang Gai, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to be beaten.

The two elders not only felt ashamed, but also had people gossiping behind their backs that they had a spineless son who lived off others, and they were not short of meat.

In short, none of the three Su brothers and sisters follow the beaten path, and none of them brings them honor. The two elders have long been accustomed to it.

Return to my mother's home (8)

This was the first time Fu Zhengtu entered Su Taotao's room.

How should I put it? It was a bit beyond his expectations.

In his eyes, Su Taotao is a very independent and opinionated lesbian, but he didn't expect her room to be so... childish?

"Do you like these things?" Fu Zhengtu picked up a little rabbit doll.

Then I thought of Chenchen’s little tiger doll, and guessed it was also made by my clever mother-in-law.

To be honest, this was the first time for Su Taotao to come to this room. None of the little toys in the room full of girlish things belonged to her, but she had no choice but to accept it.

She touched the small wind chime by the window, looked at the rows of spotless dolls neatly placed on the bed, and smiled:

"My mother thought I liked it, so she made one or two every year with scraps of cloth, and over the years she had so many."

Fu Zhengtu nodded. Among the two older brothers, the youngest one is always the pampered one.

Fu Zhengtu put the little doll back.

"Put it on the bed and put it in the closet."

Chenchen came in at some point and started to wow as he looked at the dolls on the bed: "The tiger's good friend! Mom, is your bed a zoo?"

Su Taotao: “…” Not to mention, there are tigers, elephants, lions, rabbits, hippos, turtles… everything. Su’s mother probably sewed all the animals she knew. It really was like she had sewed a zoo.

The craftsmanship also changed from being crude and unfamiliar at the beginning to being skilled and unique later on, and in Chenchen's hands the little tiger had become lifelike.

Every stitch and thread contains the love of a great mother for her children.

"Su Taotao" can be said to be a child who grew up in love. At least Su Taotao, who had little luck with her parents in her previous life, is very envious.

"If Chenchen likes it, can we take it away when we leave?" Su Taotao said.

Chen Chen blinked: "Is it okay?"

Su Taotao picked one up and squeezed it: "These are made by grandma for mom. We don't come back often, so it's better to take them back than to leave them here to gather dust."

Of course Chenchen wouldn't refuse. He could open a zoo if he took the baby back home. I wonder how many kids would be jealous of him.

"Yeah, yeah, Dongdong and Pangpang will definitely be jealous when they see it."

Su Taotao rubbed the child's head and said nothing more.

After a day and night of driving, everyone was tired. After taking a shower and changing into new clothes, the whole family started to catch up on their sleep.

Of course, Su's father and mother will not be idle, as it is almost time for them to prepare dinner.

In those days, tube-shaped buildings did not have independent kitchens, but only a large public kitchen. At mealtime, every household would gather there to cook.

"Hey, we had chicken for lunch and dinner too. Your son-in-law is not a country bumpkin. Weren't you dissatisfied with him in every way before and didn't allow him to visit you?"

"Yes, yes, is it possible that the mother-in-law is more and more satisfied with her son-in-law as soon as they arrive? She doesn't mind that they bring their families with them to beg for money, right?"

"Don't talk nonsense. I heard from the gatekeeper, Mr. Wang, that Miss Su is tall and handsome, with a dignified appearance. She looks more like a city girl than a city girl. How can she be a peasant?"

"Taotao is so lucky. She married a country bumpkin without saying a word and hasn't come back for a few years. I thought her husband was a shady man..."

"That's enough!" Mother Su was picking up old vegetables. As she heard the increasingly outrageous talk, she threw the vegetables back into the water and said in a sharp voice:

"Which of the rice in your pots and the vegetables in your bowls is not grown by farmers who work hard in the fields? You are just a peasant. If you have the ability, why don't you stop eating what others grow? Why don't you just drink dew and eat northwest wind?"

Everyone was stunned when the usually gentle Su Ma suddenly exploded.

Father Su also glanced around coldly: "You are so talkative. You should be more virtuous in your speech."

It would be fine for them to just hear this, but how would they feel if Fu Zhengtu heard it? Would they still be able to live as human beings?

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. The couple were usually the kindest people and never got angry when they often teased their son about being a gigolo. So why did they get angry over just a few words to their son-in-law?

Father Su is the most senior technician in the factory. He earns the highest salary in the factory due to his excellent skills. He has the skills in his hands and has trained many apprentices. Everyone has to respectfully call him Master Su.

If the men from the families who just spoke want to pursue technical jobs, they must be examined by Su's father. If he disagrees, there is basically no hope.

In fact, they didn't mean any harm, they just had nothing to do after eating, and they were used to talking about everyone's family affairs.

Everyone who hears it just treats it as a joke and rarely gets really angry.

"I'm sorry, Master Su, we didn't mean any harm, we were just saying it casually."

"Yes, yes, we are talking nonsense, that's not what we meant."

"I'm sorry, we're out of stock. We'll be leaving first. You guys can take your time and make some delicious food for my son-in-law..."

…

In an instant, everyone in the public kitchen left, leaving only Su Donghan and his wife.

"It's all your fault! You asked me to go to the countryside to see Taotao. I knew what kind of person Zhengtu was. Did I need to be framed like this?" Mother Su became angry when she spoke of this.

If Su Donghan hadn't stopped her, she would have gone to the countryside to visit a young lady long ago.

Later on, it wasn't that they didn't want to go. At the end of the year, their eldest grandson was born. Although they were not taking care of him, they still had to help out a lot. There were always things that kept them busy and unable to leave.

The second brother always wanted to go and take a look, but since he was not a regular employee, it was not easy for him to be away for so long. He was often sent on business trips to various places. Once, he was on a business trip near Qinglian County and bought a train ticket, but something went wrong and he couldn't go.

Later, Su Taotao went to the base with Fu Zhengtu and only returned now.

In fact, Su Donghan also had "spies" in Qinglian County to help keep an eye on her. Even if Su Taotao didn't write back, someone would report to them regularly that she was safe.

Both sides still have grievances and are unwilling to give in.

Even if the result is good now, Fu Zhengtu is still a very good son-in-law, but it is still hard to accept that he was framed like this.

She wasn't even that angry when her eldest son was framed as a gigolo.

"Okay, okay, it's all my fault. It's rare for the children to come back. Let's quickly make them something delicious. It's better to turn a blind eye to it."

Su's mother naturally knew this, so what else could she do? Take Fu Zhengtu to every household and show them what a good son-in-law is?

The more Su's mother thought about it, the more she felt that she had to find a way to let everyone know that Fu Zhengtu was a good son-in-law who was hard to find even with a lantern.

Return to my mother's home (9)

The next day was the weekend, and both of my parents didn’t have to go to work, so it was also a family day.

Every weekend, unless something unexpected happens, the eldest son Su Wenhao would bring his wife and children home to visit his parents.

Most of the time we cooked and ate at home. Sometimes, Mrs. Su thought the tube house was too crowded, so she took everyone out to eat.

Mrs. Su was indeed a girl who grew up being pampered in her family. She had some flaws in her character, but she was not a bad person.

Su's father and mother knew that they would be back today, so they did not inform them in advance that Su Taotao was coming back to visit.

So when Su Wenhao came back with his wife and children and the tall and handsome Fu Zhengtu came to open the door, he thought he had walked into the wrong door and looked at the house number several times.

He had no reaction until Su's mother came over and introduced it to him.

"Brother, sister-in-law." Fu Zhengtu greeted them respectfully and nodded in a friendly manner towards the child in his arms.

Su Wenhao was stunned and stared at Fu Zhengtu.

Mother Su cleared her throat and gave Su Wenhao an elbow: "What are you standing there for? Are you pretending to be a door god? Zhengtu is calling you."

“Oh oh oh… hello brother-in-law, hello brother-in-law…”

…

Brother Su came back early, and Su Taotao was still sleeping lazily.

Fu Yuanhang helped Su's father pick vegetables. Su's father especially liked this well-behaved and quiet child, especially after knowing that he had never seen his father since he was born, he felt even more pity for him.

Su Wenhao was holding his son, while little Chenchen and his second uncle were playing chess, and the game was very intense.

Su Wenhao was shocked again and asked Su Wenhan: "What are you doing?"

Su Wenhan had been driven to a dead end by the dust. He was scratching his ears and cheeks in annoyance, and waved his hand to ignore him.

Chen Chen was calm and composed. He looked at Su Wenhan with his big eyes and head raised. "Uncle, my second uncle and I are playing chess. He is about to lose."

Then Chen Chen waved his paw at the child in his arms: "Hello, brother."

Chenchen is not a very outgoing child. On the contrary, he is a little shy and doesn't pay much attention to strangers.

But he knew that these people were his mother's relatives. It was the first time in his life that he had seen so many relatives.

When people told him that he looked a lot like his father, he never thought so.

But he could see some of Su Taotao's shadow in his grandparents, his eldest uncle, his second uncle, and even his little cousin. He found it magical and it was the first time he had an intuitive understanding of "blood relationship".

"You, you, you are Chen Chen?" Su Wenhao couldn't even straighten his tongue.

Before meeting Chen Chen, Su Wenhao had the guts to say that he had never seen a child prettier than his son! Whenever he took his child out, people would compliment him by saying, "Hey, your child is very good-looking."

He looked at the dust, then looked at his son. He thought, there are always people better than you. He lost, he lost.

Wait, how old is Chen Chen? Younger than his son? Less than three years old? How could he kill Su Wenhan without leaving a single piece of armor? ?

It’s hard to say anything else about Su Wenhan, but he’s proficient in everything related to eating, drinking and having fun. Even if the whole family plays chess together, they can’t beat him. How could he lose? ?

If it were someone else, Su Wenhao would think that he might give in to the child, but who is Su Wenhan? He doesn't care whether you are three years old or three hundred years old. Respecting the old and loving the young is not in his dictionary. It is best to "skin the pig naked" and let it cry and beg for mercy from him!

But--

"I lost, Chenchen is so awesome!" Su Wenhan admitted defeat sincerely. It had been a long time since he had encountered such a strong opponent in chess. This game was very satisfying.

He didn't think there was anything wrong with losing to his three-year-old nephew, and even clasped his fists towards Chen Chen in a serious manner: "I admit defeat."

Chen Chen narrowed his eyes and gave him a greeting in return: "I admit it!"

Su Wenhan: “……!!!”

Shocking, extremely shocking!

Is this guy with a fawning face, who looks like an idiot who has been hungry for three days and suddenly sees a meat bun, or is he my little brother who always looks up to the sky and is so arrogant?

Shouldn't he have said, "Playing chess? I wouldn't dare say that everyone here is trash, but none of you are my match"?
