Chapter 126 What’s going on?

Before the sun completely set, the children had picked up their desired shells, because if they didn't go back, the cafeteria would close.

Su Taotao and the others had just come up from the beach when they ran into Fu Zhengtu and Zhang Chuncheng.

After Su Taotao was surprised, she asked Fu Zhengtu, "Why are you here? Didn't I tell you to wait for us in the cafeteria? If you don't go get some food first, what will we do if the cafeteria closes and we have nothing to eat?"

Zhang Chuncheng smiled and said, "Don't worry, we have asked the canteen to keep some food for you, so you can eat it when you get there. We just came to see you because you haven't been back for so long."

When Dong Dong saw his father, he immediately abandoned his Uncle Mumu and ran over to hug his father's thighs: "Dad, I need an oven! Go ask Uncle Fu!"

Zhang Chuncheng's smile froze on his lips: "What is an oven?"

Dong Dong had an expression that said "Dad you are so stupid": "An oven is not a thing, an oven is an oven!"

Zhang Chuncheng: "..."

Su Taotao and Fu Zhengtu looked at each other and couldn't help laughing out loud.

Xia Zhiqiu couldn't stand his stupid look and punched him: "Don't be stupid, you can go to Taotao's house and see for yourself."

Fu Zhengtu bent down and picked up Chen Chen. He missed the little guy very much after not seeing him for a day.

Chenchen showed his new baby to his father: "Daddy, it's new, just the same as before."

Fu Zhengtu asked: "What about the original one? Don't you like it anymore?"

Chen Chen pursed his lips and shook his head: "It fell to the ground~~It's broken~~"

Seeing that Chenchen was about to be unhappy again, Su Taotao said, "It was accidentally broken at school today. It's okay. Chenchen found it again, right? Let's go eat. Mom is starving."

The conversation did not continue and the group headed to the cafeteria amid the children's laughter.

Mumu refused to go to the cafeteria with them, saying that the food his elder brother cooked was better than that in the cafeteria and he wanted to go home to eat.

When Su Taotao and the others arrived at the cafeteria, there were not many people there. Xiao Lu and the cafeteria staff were already eating their staff meal.

In the end, the portion given to Su Taotao and the others was particularly large.

Xiao Lu came over with a bowl of rice in his hand: "Engineer Fu, Sister Su, I heard that someone in our base is taking the lead in opening another factory. Is this true?"

Fu Zhengtu was so busy today that he didn't even have time to go to the bathroom, let alone to deal with Zhou Zheng. How could he know these gossips? He usually heard gossips from Zhou Zheng.

He shook his head: "I don't know."

Su Taotao said, "I heard that I submitted the proposal, but I don't know whether it will be approved. What? Do you want to change jobs?"

Xiao Lu quickly shook his head and said, "No, no, I am very satisfied with my current job. My mother found out about this job from somewhere, but she was afraid that your factory would not accept me, so it gave me more options."

Su Taotao asked him, "How old is your mother? How is her health?"

Xiao Lu said, "She is 42 years old this year and in good health. She meets all the requirements except that she is not well educated. I helped her fill out the forms. She saw that there is a column for education in your forms. She was worried that she would not be admitted because she did not have enough education."

Su Taotao smiled and said: "Production workers do not require academic qualifications, because they have to come into direct contact with food, and the most important thing is to be able to endure hardship and stay healthy."

Xiao Lu said, "That's fine, thank you Sister Su."

Su Taotao thought he would take the opportunity to say a few good words for his mother, but that was not the case. He didn't say anything and just left with his bowl of rice!

Fu Zhengtu said, "The old lady is a very nice person. She cooked for us when the conditions were difficult in the past."

Su Taotao was stunned for a moment. If Engineer Fu personally said that the person was good, then he must be really good.

"What's your last name?"

Fu Zhengtu picked up a piece of fish with bones removed and gave her: "Xu."

Su Taotao: “…”

A guy who is very frugal with words.

Okay, 42-year-old Aunt Xu, Su Taotao remembered her.

The next day was the day for collecting forms. Aunt Zhong and Xia Zhiqiu were there again, and Dongdong also went. Su Taotao pushed Chenchen to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy two super-large watermelons.

The watermelons were so big that I had to put one on the bottom and one on the top, and it was so dusty that I had to walk.

"Captain Gao, how is the project going? Are there any problems?"

Lao Gao shook his head: "Don't worry, Director Su, everything will go well."

Su Taotao looked at this well-organized construction team. If this were put into the 21st century, there would be no worries about shoddy construction.

Su Taotao handed the big watermelon to Lao Gao: "Share it with everyone to cool down. I can only take two at a time, so I'll move two more later."

"Hey, let me do it," Lao Gao quickly took it over. "No, no, Director Su is really too polite. These two are enough. No need to buy more."

Su Taotao roughly calculated the number of people and thought that everyone should be able to eat one piece. She nodded and said, "Okay, I'll ask the cafeteria to make a pot of mung bean soup for you tomorrow. It's so hot today, so everyone must drink plenty of water and don't get heatstroke."

Lao Gao has been in this industry for more than ten or twenty years and has taken on many projects, big and small, but he has never met anyone like Su Taotao who cares so much about construction workers.

Lao Gao smiled and said, "You drink chrysanthemum tea, big watermelons, and mung bean soup every day, it's hard for you to get heatstroke."

Su Taotao said, "Anyway, there's enough chrysanthemum tea in the cafeteria, and there's also enough green bean soup tomorrow. It's not made of iron. If you're tired, just take a break. Our factory doesn't need a day or half a day."

Lao Gao almost couldn't hold back his excitement after hearing what Su Taotao said. They all knew that he was in charge of the project progress, and some people would say some polite words to him to please him, but they rarely took actual actions. On the contrary, Su Taotao, who seemed the most difficult to get along with at the beginning, was the best to the workers.

A worker who heard their conversation wiped the sweat from his forehead, stopped to drink some water, looked at Su Taotao, then at the big watermelon next to him, swallowed his saliva, and instantly became more energetic.

Su Taotao saw this and looked away silently. She turned around and sent Chenchen over to play with Dongdong, then she pushed the cart to buy two more big watermelons and sent them over.

Lao Gao didn't know what to say. This scene was seen by the workers who had been drooling before. He spread the news everywhere, and everyone knew that Director Su was a good man. He bought four big watermelons for them to eat, and also asked the canteen to make mung bean soup for them the next day.

Su Taotao's sincere hope that they would not work so hard actually had the opposite effect, and everyone worked even harder.

Aunt Zhong and Xia Zhiqiu worked like crazy, collecting seventy or eighty registration forms in less than one morning.

However, most of the forms had been collected. The ratio of men to women was just as unbalanced as Su Taotao had imagined. There were only a dozen or so forms from men, including Dong Shengping's.

When Su Taotao came back from the construction site after delivering the watermelons, she unexpectedly discovered two female comrades also distributing registration forms everywhere.

"This is our factory, which will open soon. Take it and have a look. Compare and choose more to know which one is more suitable for you."

Su Taotao blinked. What was going on? Stealing someone? How come Yang Liuyue and her factory got approved so quickly?
