Chapter 3 Is he a genius?

"What is this?" Su Taotao asked knowingly as she picked up an origami airplane made from old newspapers.

Chen Chen naturally ignored her.

He pursed his lips, his big eyes focused on the old newspaper in his hand, and his small hands deftly folded the old and yellowed newspaper into several squares, then a rectangle, and rolled up a "stick" the size of a pencil. Then, I don't know how he did it, but he flipped the squares back and forth a few times to make the "body". Finally, he passed the "pencil" through, and after a few more shakes, a perfect origami pistol came out.

Su Taotao was stunned. If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she would never have believed that a child under two years old could fold such a thing. She, a handicapped person, couldn't even see it clearly, and he had already folded it?

Chenchen put the origami pistol aside without even looking up, and used the remaining old newspapers to make a few paper boats of different sizes and shapes. Seeing that there were still some scraps of paper left, he also folded in a few small stars. In the end, not even a single scrap of paper was wasted.

Su Taotao was so shocked that she couldn't even describe it.

How is this possible?! Could Chen Chen be a child genius?

Su Taotao, who was of "mediocre qualifications", had mixed feelings. Thinking of her cheap husband's profession, she thought that his genes must be stronger. She turned over and lay on her stomach, propped up her upper body with her elbows, looked straight into the child's eyes, picked up a paper airplane and made a flying motion, and asked softly, "Chenchen, why are you so good? Who taught you?"

Chenchen tilted his little head, with big eyes full of doubts. Perhaps his mother would never talk to him in this attitude and tone before. He noticed that his "mother" was abnormal, and looked at Su Taotao seriously with a puzzled look. Although he still didn't say anything, his eyes were focused and even inquiring.

This discovery made Su Taotao breathe a sigh of relief. If Chenchen was completely unable to perceive the emotions of the outside world and did not respond to her at all, she might have been suffering from autism. He was so good at folding paper, which showed that his IQ was definitely not a problem. Now he could respond to what she said, which showed that there were no problems with his comprehension and hearing. Even if he didn't speak and was a little withdrawn, at least it showed that the situation was not too serious. He was still so young, and it would be easy to correct him.

Su Taotao wanted to say something when Zhou Linglan pushed the door open, holding a bowl or something, followed by a teenager who was as tall as her shoulder.

"Is Taotao awake?" Zhou Linglan put the bowl on the bedside table and looked at her carefully. "Huang Liu checked and said that you are fine. Just take a good rest for a few days and keep warm."

Su Taotao didn't know what to say. She was worried that she would scare her by saying something polite, so she simply sat up and nodded at her.

Zhou Linglan heaved a sigh of relief, pointed to the bowl on the bedside table and said, "Ah Hang caught a few small fish, and I made you a bowl of fish paste porridge. I removed the fish bones and added ginger and pepper. It doesn't smell fishy. Eat it while it's hot."

The tone was still cautious. In an era of material scarcity, he even emphasized that the fish bones had been removed and that ginger and pepper had been added to the fish. Without asking, one knew that the original owner must have been very picky and had made things difficult for them because of things like this.

How did she end up wearing such a perfect outfit? I can't think too much about it. If I do, I'll want to slap her.

Su Taotao looked at the silky white rice porridge that was greasy and couldn't help asking, "How about you guys? Have you eaten yet?"

Not to mention Zhou Linglan, even Fu Yuanhang was flattered. The mother and son looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes.

Zhou Linglan took a breath and nodded, "I've eaten."

They had eaten before, but the meal was different. The fish were not big to begin with, and there were only a few small fish the size of two fingers, and there was not much fish meat. The fine grains at home were all for Su Taotao and Chen Chen. Zhou Linglan's meal was to use the remaining fish heads, tails, and bones to make soup. Half of it was used to make porridge for Su Taotao, and the other half was added to some coarse grains for her and Fu Yuanhang to eat with pickled vegetables. This was already a very rare and delicious meal for them.

Su Taotao sighed secretly. She knew what was going on. If he had married a daughter-in-law who was good at housekeeping, with the money and tickets left by Fu Zhengtu, the whole family would have had no problem eating and clothing. It was a pity that the original owner was such a poor person.

Take it slow, life will get by.

Su Taotao got off the bed and sat on a small stool. She held Chenchen in her arms, scraped a spoonful of fish paste porridge along the edge of the bowl, brought it to her lips and blew gently. When she felt the temperature was about right, she passed it to Chenchen: "Let's eat first, Chenchen."

Chen Chen's big round eyes were still full of question marks, and he even frowned to express his confusion, and tilted his head to look at Zhou Linglan.

Zhou Linglan rubbed her hands and said nervously, "I, I left a small bowl for Chenchen. How about you give the child to me and you eat first."

Su Taotao didn't respond. She touched Chenchen's mouth with the spoon and squeezed a little bit of food in from his lips: "Eat it, it's delicious."

Chenchen opened his mouth subconsciously, took the porridge in, and swallowed it before he could react.

Su Taotao smiled with satisfaction and went to scrape the second spoonful.

Perhaps because he felt the delicious taste that he had not eaten for a long time, Chenchen let down his guard and ate half a bowl of fish porridge from Su Taotao's hand before shaking his head to indicate that he was full.

Su Taotao found a clean handkerchief with satisfaction and wiped the little cub's mouth. The more she looked at him, the more she liked this unbelievably well-behaved little fellow. She put him back on the bed and said, "Chenchen, now that you've eaten, it's Mom's turn to eat. You can play by yourself for a while first."

Su Taotao took care of her cousin's nephew in her previous life, so she is quite experienced in raising children. Now she just wants to raise the baby as healthy and plump as her cousin's nephew in her previous life.

However, the mother and son who were watching Su Taotao were already stunned, their mouths opened so wide that an egg could be stuffed in.

If she hadn't just been examined by the barefoot doctor, Zhou Linglan would have wanted to ask him to examine her again. How could she have changed so much after just falling into the water? She was like a completely different person.

Su Taotao didn't know what to say when she saw the shocked expressions of her mother-in-law and brother-in-law. Feeding her child was the most basic duty of a mother, but their expressions were as if she had done something incredible.

Anyway, Su Taotao has already accepted her image in the eyes of others. There is no way she can become as perfect as the original owner. She can only let them adapt to her "change".

She slowly finished the remaining half bowl of porridge, wiped her mouth, and then said solemnly:

"Mom, Yuanhang, Fu Zhengtu's death was a big blow to me, and he has not been heard from since. I was alone from pregnancy to childbirth. My thoughts in the past few years were very distorted. I did a lot of things that let everyone down. After I fell into the water, I thought a lot. I will be good to Chenchen in the future and will not think about returning to the city. We will live a good life as a family. We will no longer cook two meals a day. We just need to take care of Chenchen. When Fu Zhengtu comes back, our lives will be better."

Su Taotao figured out that the backbone of this family should be her adopted husband Fu Zhengtu. They were old and young, and none of them had any opinions of their own. When he left, the family fell into chaos, so it was easy for the original owner to lead them by the nose and bully them. In this case, this family could only rely on her in the future.

She had to think of a reasonable excuse for her transformation, otherwise she couldn't stand their expressions of surprise. Anyway, she couldn't explain why she, Su Taotao, ended up in the body of that Su Taotao.

In short, even if the king of heaven comes, she is Su Taotao, so they can only adapt to the current Su Taotao as soon as possible.

Zhou Linglan's eyes were red after hearing what she said, and she kept nodding: "Okay, okay, mom knows your hardship. You haven't let us down, it's our Zhengtu who has let you down. From now on, our family will live a good life and everything will be fine."

Fu Yuanhang was not so easy to fool. He half believed and half doubted, thinking that this troubled sister-in-law would change her tricks again? What was she trying to do this time?
