Chapter 23 Fu Zhengtu's reputation is damaged

Su Taotao opened Fu Zhengtu's letter with uneasy mood.

I thought that since we hadn't seen each other for more than two years, even if I didn't write him a long essay, I should at least write a short essay of 1,000 to 1,800 words to express my true feelings, talk about recent events, and give an explanation or something.

The result was just four words: I'll be back soon.

Su Taotao's peach blossom eyes were bigger than copper bells. She turned such a thin piece of letter paper over and over again, pinching it, holding it to the kerosene lamp, and almost put it on the fire to burn. She even wanted to drop a candle on it or soak it in water to see if there was any secret code that required "fire reveal", "water reveal", "wax reveal" and so on to see the words.

But obviously, there is nothing, nothing at all, just these four words!

Su Taotao laughed angrily and threw the letter on the bed. Could this be a notice?!

She was such a stingy person, but she only sent seven words in a telegram to her family. His words were not charged. A husband, son, father, brother... a man with so many identities who had been missing for more than two years, only gave one word to each person, without even a basic greeting!

Su Taotao felt that it was a joke that she had brought Chenchen to take photos today, and she didn't even have the desire to reply. Maybe the other person didn't care about them as a family at all.

Yes, otherwise he wouldn't have disappeared for such a long time without any reason.

The little bit of enthusiasm and expectation that Su Taotao had for this cheap husband whom she had never met was completely killed by these four words.

She pounded the pillow a few times, and wanted to pound herself even more.

What are you thinking? This is an era where people can get married just by meeting each other, and some people may not even have met each other before getting married. What is there to look forward to in marriage under such circumstances?

Su Taotao thought she would be too angry to fall asleep, but unexpectedly she fell asleep after tossing and turning. Before falling asleep, she was thinking vaguely that God was indeed fair. He gave her an angel baby, so how could he be willing to give her a husband who was so filial to his parents? She should just live her life to the fullest.

Su Taotao had a dream the whole night afterwards. To be more precise, she had a nightmare. She dreamed that the cold and lovable Fu Zhengtu was chasing her with a 40-meter-long knife and was expressionless. He kept chasing her and she kept running...

When she heard the clucking of a rooster, Su Taotao suddenly jumped up from the bed, and was so frightened that she broke out in a cold sweat...

Su Taotao immediately looked at the letter that she had thrown aside, picked it up angrily and threw it on the ground, muttering: "You bastard Fu Zhengtu, you are not worthy of having a fair-skinned, beautiful, long-legged fairy like me and an angel baby like Chenchen!"

However, after tidying herself up, she returned to her room, picked up the letter and went to the kitchen.

Su Taotao knew how much Zhou Linglan and Fu Yuanhang wanted to know that Fu Zhengtu was safe.

She had a nightmare and overslept. At this time, Chenchen was eating egg custard obediently, Fu Yuanhang had already made goat milk tea, and Zhou Linglan just brought over the pancakes that had just come out of the pan.

When Zhou Linglan saw Su Taotao, she smiled lovingly and said, "Taotao, you must be exhausted yesterday. Why don't you get some more sleep?"

Su Taotao had a complicated look on her face. She waited until everyone was seated and before they started eating to make sure that no one would choke on their milk tea before she took out Fu Zhengtu's letter and put it on the table. She said calmly, "Mom, Zhengtu wrote to me yesterday."

Zhou Linglan thought she had heard wrongly: "Taotao, what did you say?"

Fu Yuanhang also looked at her nervously.

Only the "insider" Chenchen dangled his short legs, raised his head from the egg custard bowl and said calmly: "Dad~~I believe~~"

Zhou Linglan picked up the envelope on the table with shaking hands: "A letter from Zhengtu? Really? Thank God, thank God..."

Fu Yuanhang hurried over.

Su Taotao suddenly wanted to know whether the mother and son would have the same reaction as her when they saw the four big words "You'll be back soon".

However, after watching it——

"Thank God for blessing me. It's a journey, it's the word for a journey..."

Fu Yuanhang smiled happily, which was rare for him. He looked at the four characters over and over again, repeating: "It's Big Brother, it's Big Brother's character, it's Big Brother's character..."

Su Taotao: “…”

Two family members, do you have some secret recipe for reading letters that only reads the handwriting and not the content? You read the content! Why check the handwriting? ? ! !

Zhou Linglan held Su Taotao's hand, tears glistening in the corners of her eyes: "I know, I know that Taotao and Chenchen are blessed people. Zhengtu will definitely come back, he will definitely come back."

Only her husband remained at the frontier forever.

Su Taotao finally understood that this should be Fu Zhengtu's usual habit of writing letters. They should have been accustomed to Fu Zhengtu's style of writing letters like telegrams.

Only she, the "outsider", was not used to it and finally asked, "What time is it?" Brother, can you at least tell me a specific date? Why are you leaving such a big blank space and making a mystery out of it?

Zhou Linglan received the letter, but the smile on her face never faded. She explained, "The nature of the work on the journey is special. Once, we had already bought the train ticket, but something went wrong and the organization needed him to stay for a few more days. He didn't come back on time, and we were so anxious that we thought something had happened on the way. We were worried for several days in vain. Since then, he generally won't be too specific about the time."

Zhou Linglan looked at the time on the postmark again, touched her grandson's head and said, "In two weeks at the earliest, or a month at the latest, we Chenchen will be able to see Dad. Are you happy?"

Su Taotao had already given him a brief introduction to the family member "Dad" yesterday. Chenchen wrinkled his nose and thought for a long time, then shook his head: "No~~Heitantan~~hit~~"

Fu Yuanhang chuckled. His eldest brother was coming back soon, so he was naturally in a good mood today and talked more: "Not all fathers will hit people. Uncle Shugen hit Little Heitan because he was naughty. Our Chenchen is so well-behaved, your father must not be willing to hit you."

After Fu Yuanhang finished talking to Chen Chen, he explained to Su Taotao, "Chen Chen often saw Uncle Shu Gen chasing Xiao Heitan with a cane, and he probably has a psychological shadow on him."

Su Taotao thought, Chenchen's adoptive father is a ruthless man who doesn't talk much, so he must be a strict father, so beating Chenchen is not impossible.

"If Fu Zhengtu dares to fight Chen Chen, I will fight him to the death!"

Fu Yuanhang frowned: "How is that possible? My brother is a very good person, he wouldn't hit anyone."

Fu Zhengtu, who was far away at the base, had no idea that his reputation was damaged. He sneezed for no apparent reason. He was so busy that he had no time to touch the ground. In order to catch up with the final deadline, he even rushed to drink water and go to the toilet as if he was in a war. He could fall asleep even if he touched the ground, let alone the bed. In his busy schedule, he only had time to write a few words. Keeping things short is his usual style. He never expected that he would leave such a bad impression on Su Taotao.

Zhou Linglan suddenly thought of something, looked at Chenchen, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

When Fu Yuanhang took Chenchen to class, she stayed until the end and whispered to Su Taotao before leaving: "Taotao, Zhengtu doesn't know about Chenchen yet, you should write him a letter and tell him."

Su Taotao curled her lips, thinking that he was not worthy!

But he still nodded and said, "I will go to the county town on the next market day to write him a reply. I also took a photo with Chenchen and will send it to him when the time comes so that he can be mentally prepared."

Zhou Linglan nodded: "You are very thoughtful. Let's do it this way."

Su Taotao gritted her teeth and said, not only that, she had even thought about the content of the reply. Just wait and see, I guarantee you will be satisfied!
