Chapter 47 Xiao Su & Dad~~Dad~~
Fu Zhengtu didn't show it on his face, but Su Taotao could see that he was also in a very low mood.
This man was very low-key and easily agreed to let Zhou Linglan stay. Perhaps he knew something or tacitly agreed to something.
Even if Su Taotao didn't believe in her own character, she believed in Zhou Linglan's character, so she had no worries about leaving her alone.
After the car drove out of the county town, all the scenery was strange and new, and the two children's attention was quickly attracted.
Especially Fu Yuanhang, who experienced many firsts today, including his first step on a long journey, his first time leaving his mother, his first time traveling far away, his first time riding in a car, his first time going to a zoo, his first time...
Anyway, there are still many firsts.
Su Taotao put Chen Chen on Fu Yuanhang's legs and told them not to stick their heads out to look, but only sit in the car and look outside.
Although there are not many cars these days, we must not develop bad habits.
Fu Zhengtu didn't look very energetic today. Su Taotao noticed it in the morning and he yawned silently several times along the way.
Su Taotao took out the water bottle she had prepared early in the morning, opened the lid and handed it to him: "Drink a few sips, it will refresh you."
Fu Zhengtu's eyes met hers in the rearview mirror, he reached out to take it, without even looking at it, he tilted his head back and took a sip. The light taste of green tea mixed with the fragrance of lemon and mint, with a hint of honey. It was slightly sweet, delicious and refreshing.
Fu Zhengtu drank several more sips before passing the drink back to Su Taotao.
"Xiao Su?"
Su Taotao had not yet recovered from the drop of water sliding across his Adam's apple.
“Ah?” Xiao Su...Okay, Mr. Fu, you call me Xiao Su in front of people and Tao Tao behind their backs, and you can tell the difference quite clearly.
This man is cold and abstinent in every way, except for his Adam's apple, which rolls as he swallows, which is very sexy.
Fu Zhengtu followed her line of sight through the rearview mirror and looked at his own Adam's apple——
"Do you like it here?"
"I like it, I like it..."
The corners of Fu Zhengtu's lips curved slightly, and it was obvious that he liked it very much.
Fu Zhengtu passed the water bottle to Su Taotao, who took it as if nothing had happened.
"Is it delicious?" Su Taotao met his gaze from the rearview mirror and asked with her big eyes narrowed, like a child waiting to be praised.
Anyway, I am not embarrassed, it is others who are embarrassed. As long as you are thick-skinned enough, nothing will be a problem.
Fu Zhengtu retracted his gaze, the curve of his lips never dropped, and nodded: "It tastes good."
Su Taotao was praised, her eyes curved into little crescents: "Of course it tastes good, early spring wild mountain tea, only the tip is picked." Su Taotao used her thumb and ring finger to indicate a very small section, "really just the tip, plus the mint and lemon planted by my mother, and the wild honey collected from the mountain, it would be strange if it doesn't taste good when added together."
Such a natural drink cannot be bought with money in the 21st century.
Su Taotao was fed up with what she said. She drank several sips before squinting her eyes and putting the lid back on.
The mouth of the bottle that he had just drunk from was now in her rosy little mouth. Fu Zhengtu's eyes deepened and deepened, and he took several deep breaths before he calmed himself and continued driving.
He decided not to look in the rearview mirror anymore.
Su Taotao had no idea that she and Fu Zhengtu had kissed indirectly.
The scenery on both sides of the national highway is just like that. The two kids found it fresh when they first saw it, but it was no longer fresh when they saw it later.
The two children woke up early in the morning. Su Taotao held Chen Chen and let him sleep for a while.
"Xiaohang, take a nap with your backpack. We still have a long way to go."
Su Taotao said to Fu Zhengtu again: "I'm going to take a nap too. You should be careful not to drive too fast. If you feel sleepy and want to drink some water, tell me."
Fu Zhengtu: "Use the straps to hold Chen Chen in your arms."
Su Taotao nodded: "I know, I won't fall asleep, don't worry."
She was even more nervous than Fu Zhengtu. Without child seats these days, how could she dare to sleep?
It took the car more than four hours to drive along the national highway to reach the city.
They set out early and arrived just before eleven o'clock.
The two children slept all the way and now they look quite energetic.
There were obvious bloodshot eyes in Fu Zhengtu's eyes, and Su Taotao was a little worried about him.
"Did you not sleep well last night? Can you make it through?"
Fu Zhengtu shook his head: "Nothing." When he was busy with work, it was common for him to not sleep for dozens of hours, so staying up late was nothing to him.
It's just that I have to concentrate very hard when driving, so I feel a little tired.
Su Taotao: "Let's find a state-owned hotel, have lunch first, and take a break."
Nowadays, even the most prosperous urban areas are just so-so in Su Taotao's eyes. However, the two little kids who had only seen four- or five-story buildings in the county town at most looked at the eight- or nine-story "high-rise buildings" in the urban areas like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden for the first time. Even the wide streets seemed particularly novel to them.
Little Chen Chen was lying on his father's shoulders. When he saw the boats on the river in the distance, he jumped a few times with his neck raised in excitement: "Daddy~~boat~~"
Chenchen had never seen a boat before, but he had folded one before. Fu Zhengtu taught him how to fold one. The smart boy identified the object as soon as he saw it.
Fu Zhengtu's focus was not on the boat. He held his son steady, lowered his head a little, and looked into his clear black and white eyes: "What did you call me just now?"
Chen Chen hugged Fu Zhengtu's neck, tilted his head, stared into his eyes and said, "Daddy~~"
Fu Zhengtu curled his lips and smiled.
This was the first time Su Taotao saw him smile in the true sense of the word. Because he didn't smile often, his slightly raised auspicious phoenix eyes were usually very reserved. If you didn't look closely, you wouldn't know that he actually had a pair of smiling eyes. At this moment, they also raised a little. He gently pinched the child's chubby cheeks: "Yes, I'm the father."
Chenchen blinked his big eyes blankly. Of course he knew he was the father. Maybe he felt that this father's IQ was a little low. Chenchen tilted his head to look at Su Taotao.
Su Taotao had to stand on her feet to touch the child's head: "This is the first time Chenchen has called me daddy. Daddy is so happy."
Chen Chen suddenly realized what was going on. He hugged Fu Zhengtu's neck again, looked him in the eyes seriously, and shouted at him: "Dad~~Dad~~"
Because of the call of "Dad", the relationship between the father and son became much closer. Even after they entered the hotel and had their meal, the curve at the corners of Fu Zhengtu's lips never faded, and he would even hold Chenchen while eating.
Chenchen was a little unhappy. Su Taotao ordered his favorite scrambled eggs with tomatoes. He took a bite but shook his head and didn't want to eat any more.
Children these days are never picky about food. They will eat anything you give them. They are very easy to raise. He was very happy to eat the food that Su Taotao brought back from the hotel in the county. Su Taotao asked him, "Don't you like fried eggs with tomatoes the most? Why don't you eat it?"
Chenchen shook his head: "It's not delicious~~ It's numb~~ It's delicious~~"
Fu Yuanhang felt that his taste buds were also spoiled by his sister-in-law. He actually thought that the tomato scrambled eggs were not tasty. He ate it with rice reluctantly and couldn't help saying, "This tomato scrambled eggs is not as delicious as the one made by my sister-in-law."
Su Taotao thought that scrambled eggs with tomatoes should not be unpalatable no matter how it was cooked. She took a bite and it was a bit unpalatable. It might be because there was not enough sugar to season it and too much salt was added. It was indeed sour, salty and astringent.
"Then eat eggs."
Zhou Linglan prepared enough eggs, so Su Taotao asked the waiter for some soy sauce, peeled a few eggs and put them in the soy sauce. A child as young as Chenchen might choke on egg yolks, so Su Taotao crushed them, added some soy sauce and mixed them with his rice, and ate the egg whites with the soy sauce.
"Xiaohang also eats eggs."
Fu Yuanhang shook his head and took a piece of tomato scrambled eggs with chopsticks: "I can eat this."
Fu Zhengtu silently brought the tomato scrambled eggs to himself: "Order another dish, I'll eat this."
In fact, the other dishes of this state-owned hotel were not very good either. The steamed fish was also very fishy, and Chen Chen was unwilling to eat it. Su Taotao even wanted to stay and give them technical guidance.
"No, Mom prepared more than enough eggs. I'll peel a few more and eat them together."
Food was hard to come by these days, and wasting food was a very shameful behavior. In the end, Fu Zhengtu and Fu Yuanhang shared the steamed fish and scrambled eggs with tomatoes, while Su Taotao and Chen Chen ate rice with egg yolk and soy sauce. All in all, they had a full meal.
