Chapter 119 Wait for me at night

Old Wu quickly stepped forward and took the big watermelon.

"Uncle Wu, please soak the watermelon in water so we can cut it and eat it later."

Old Wu looked at Old Tang.

After Mr. Tang made a gesture, Mr. Wu took one of the big watermelons in to soak in the cool water.

"Take this back and eat it later. Old Wu and I can't eat so many cold things." said Mr. Tang.

Su Taotao originally thought so, as her master Fu hadn't even had the watermelon yet, so she nodded, "Okay."

Mr. Tang likes Su Taotao's personality the most. She is straightforward and never acts coyly. He doesn't like socializing with those empty-headed people because it makes him exhausted.

Time was tight, so Su Taotao took the time to talk to Mr. Tang about Fu Yuanhang's study situation. Mr. Tang was very satisfied with Fu Yuanhang and decided on his future study time and progress.

Anyway, Mr. Tang goes out for morning exercises every day. No matter whether Su Taotao comes or not, he just goes to the central square at the same time on weekend mornings to wait for the first bus from the island.

The watermelon that Su Taotao bought was so big that the two elderly people and Chen Chen couldn't eat too much. The main force was Su Taotao and Fu Yuanhang, but they couldn't eat it all either. In the end, they only ate about half of it.

Su Taotao told the two elderly people to eat the remaining half today. If they couldn’t finish it, they could give some to their neighbors and never leave it for tomorrow.

After eating watermelon, Su Taotao and her family had to go back, otherwise they would miss the last bus back to the island.

The watermelon was so heavy that Mr. Wu insisted on sending them over to the bus, as he also wanted to stay with the two children for a while longer.

As soon as they left, the whole yard fell silent. Mr. Tang always liked quietness, otherwise he would not have remained single until now. But now, looking at their backs, he suddenly felt a sense of loneliness and hoped that the next Sunday would come soon.

Or, what if he told Su Taotao that he was willing to go to the island to enlighten the children in the Yuhong class?

Let him think about it.

At this time, Chenchen, who was lying on his uncle's back, suddenly turned around and saw that Old Tang was still standing at the door. The little boy grinned, showing his tiny teeth, and waved his little hands at Old Tang.

Old Tang raised his skinny hand, waved it like Chen Chen, then turned around and went back to the house.

When I returned to the living room, I saw two food coupons on the dining table.

Old Tang picked up the food coupon and looked at it, then sighed. Perhaps only parents like this could raise such good children.

When he returned to the island, the first thing Chenchen thought of was that his brother Baibai was still at Dongdong's house. He went to pick up Baibai without even entering the house.

Su Taotao said, "Go inside and put your things down first, and then mom will cut some watermelon for you."

The two children went upstairs to put down their things. Su Taotao went into the kitchen and cut the watermelon into two halves, big and small. She kept the small half for herself and divided the big half into two, giving one to Xia Zhiqiu and one to Aunt Zhong.

The watermelon was so big that Fu Yuanhang had a hard time carrying it with one hand, but luckily it was only a few steps away.

Chenchen held Baibai's special small basket in one hand and led his uncle to pick up Baibai with the other hand.

Su Taotao first cut the rind of the remaining half of the watermelon, cut the watermelon flesh into pieces and put it in a bowl, keeping the rind for later use.

Start preparing dinner. No vegetables were bought at home today. Su Taotao soaked some dried black fungus and dried day lily brought from the village in hot water, and then soaked some bean curd in cold water. She planned to make a cold mixed vegetable. She also boiled some vermicelli, rinsed it in water, and mixed it. Eating such refreshing food in summer makes people feel much more comfortable.

The highlight is actually the watermelon. It tastes like an old watermelon, with sandy and sweet flesh, but the rind is a bit thick. Su Taotao liked the rind at the time and planned to use it to make a cold dish.

Scrape off the green peel and cut the white part into shreds. Add a little salt to kill off some of the water, then wash and use for cold salad. This way, no water will come out when mixing, and the cold salad watermelon peel will be crispy and refreshing.

This is when the importance of growing onions, ginger and garlic at your doorstep becomes apparent. If you have them planted at your doorstep, you can just go out and pick a handful. Without these side dishes, the cold salad will lose a lot of flavor.

She could only prepare a non-spicy dish for Chen Chen and Fu Yuanhang, and a dish with dried peppers and dried chili peppers for her and Fu Zhengtu.

When Fu Zhengtu got home, the two children had not returned yet.

He walked into the kitchen carrying a box, and Su Taotao just poured a little hot oil on the peppercorns, chili peppers and minced garlic, completing the last step.

When these spices collided, the aroma stimulated by the high temperature attacked Fu Zhengtu's sense of smell. No matter how strong his willpower was, he couldn't help swallowing his saliva.

"What is this?" Su Taotao asked.

"Oysters, don't you want to grill them?" Fu Zhengtu replied.

Su Taotao was planning to have a vegetarian meal tonight, but unexpectedly Fu Zhengtu brought back a box of oysters. She flipped through them and found that they were particularly large, each weighing probably more than half a pound.

Su Taotao couldn't help but stand on tiptoe, hold Fu Zhengtu's face, and kiss him hard on the lips, and then she started to act coquettishly unconsciously:

"Fu Zhengtu, you are awesome. I only had a bite of steamed bread at noon, and now I am so hungry that I could eat a cow. I could only have a vegetarian meal at night, but you actually brought my favorite oysters. How could you be so kind?"

Fu Zhengtu frowned and put down the oysters. He then held her waist and rubbed it, kissed her back, and asked, "Why did you only eat one bite of the steamed bun?"

Su Taotao said: "The training ground is too hot, I can't eat anything."

Fu Zhengtu was worried that the children might come in at any time, so he kissed her on the corner of her lips again and let go of her waist. He didn't say anything like "it's too hard to practice driving". He knew that if she decided to do something, she would complete it no matter how hard or tiring it was. There was no need to say anything about these scenes.

"Go and take a rest. You give the orders and I'll do it." Fu Zhengtu's cooking skills are at the level of being able to cook until the food is edible. Without Su Taotao's orders, if the food is not to her liking, she will probably only eat a few bites.

Su Taotao took a piece of watermelon and fed it to him: "It's very sweet, taste it."

Fu Zhengtu took a bite of her hand.

"Is it sweet?" Su Taotao asked.

Fu Zhengtu nodded: "Sweet."

Su Taotao took a bite of the place he had just bitten and nodded: "It's very sweet, sweeter than the one that bloomed in Tang's hometown."

Su Taotao's skin was glowing white. After a day of sunbathing at the training ground, her cheeks were slightly red, making her face look even more rosy.

Su Taotao's lips, which were almost the same color as the watermelon flesh, were stained with a little red watermelon juice, a drop of which playfully spilled from the corner of her mouth. Fu Zhengtu approached, pinched her chin and left jawline with his palms, and bowed his head: "How sweet is it? Let me taste it again."

The voice was so low that it was almost a whisper.

A warm breath came, and the lips and tongue that fell on the corner of Su Taotao's lips were also hot. They left after a light touch, and the drop of watermelon juice had already reached someone's mouth.

Fu Zhengtu looked at Su Taotao deeply with his deep and narrow eyes: "Yeah, very sweet."

The voice was so low and hoarse that it was very suggestive.

Su Taotao's ears turned red after she realized what was happening. She bit her lip and glared at Fu Zhengtu. Just as she was thinking about how to get back at him, she heard the sound of a door being pushed open.

"Mom, your Chenchen and Uncle Baibai are back."

Su Taotao: “…”

She pointed at Fu Zhengtu and said angrily, "Wait for me tonight."

Fu Zhengtu raised his lips slightly and replied: "Well, I'll wait."
