Chapter 54 I guess Mr. Fu’s family will leave the island crying within a week
Su Taotao prided herself on being thick-skinned but couldn't stand so many eyes staring at her at the same time, but she still managed to hold on. She took Fu Yuanhang's hand and squeezed it, then walked forward with a smile, not looking around, as if she was in an empty space.
Both children were very uncomfortable, especially Chenchen. He was not an extroverted child to begin with, and when he saw so many people looking at him, he pursed his little mouth, turned his face away, buried his little head in his father's neck and refused to come out.
Fu Yuanhang felt that it was a close call. If his sister-in-law had not come with him, he would have lost face for his elder brother.
Fu Zhengtu's eyes turned cold. He raised his eyelids, looked around coldly, and patted Chen Chen's back gently, silently comforting him.
Wherever Fu Zhengtu's eyes went, the other party would avoid his gaze, pretending to cough or chat, dodging them all.
No one dared to come forward and greet.
After they had passed, some people dared to whisper:
Passerby A: "See? Xiao Lu is not kidding. Mr. Fu's family is so white that they glow. How can someone be so white?"
Passerby B: "Yes, she is as white as snow. I dare not look at her. Mr. Fu's eyes are too scary."
Passerby A looked down on him: "You talk as if you have seen snow before, but I only glanced at it and didn't dare to look closely."
Passerby C: "Those two babies are also very white and pretty. Birds of a feather flock together. The people in Mr. Fu's family are all very pretty."
Passerby Ding touched his chin and said, "You are too narrow-minded. What kind of person is Mr. Fu? Can this delicate lesbian and the little kid stand it? I guarantee that in a few days her family will leave the island with the little kid crying. Why don't we take a chance?"
Passersby A, B and C said in unison: "No bet, we think so too."
Passerby B suddenly interrupted: "By the way, does anyone know?"
Passerby Ding: "Who is it?"
Passerby B winked: "Who is that?"
Passersby A and C looked at each other and shut their mouths.
Passerby Ding suddenly realized: "Oh oh oh...tsk tsk, this is going to be interesting."
Passerby Ding stroked his chin and looked at the family of four: "I guess Mr. Fu's family will leave the island within a week."
The other three were silent.
…
Fu Zhengtu whispered to Su Taotao: "Do you want to eat here? Or should you guys wait for me outside and I'll fight back."
Su Taotao smiled and said, "Seafood tastes best when eaten hot. Since we're here, we'll eat it before leaving."
Su Taotao wiped the dust off her face and said, "Let's go, let's go with Dad to see if there's anything delicious. Mom is so hungry."
Little Fu Haochen pouted his lips, looking unhappy.
Fu Zhengtu walked towards the food window, and the people who were originally in line actually took the initiative to make way for him.
"Master Fu, you go first, don't let the child get too hungry."
"Yes, yes, you first, you first..."
…
Fu Zhengtu frowned, ignored them, and virtually gathered Su Taotao and Fu Yuanhang to protect him, then stood at the end of the team.
He doesn't like coming to the cafeteria. Usually his colleagues take food back with him. Every time he comes, he is surrounded by people, who stare at him. They all have two eyes and a nose, and they don't know what's so good about them.
Then again, Fu Zhengtu had saved himself a lot of pleasantries thanks to his well-known bad temper.
Everyone was afraid of him out of habit, and few dared to talk to him.
Indirectly, it also helped him keep away a lot of romantic opportunities.
Su Taotao bent down and whispered to Fu Yuanhang, "Xiaohang, these people have no ill intentions. They are just curious. Once the novelty wears off, they are too lazy to look at us. You should learn from your brother and pretend they don't exist."
Fu Yuanhang nodded: "I know my sister-in-law, but she is not used to it."
Fu Yuanhang used to be very inferior, but he has improved a lot in the past few months under Su Taotao's careful guidance, but he is still relatively shy.
Su Taotao touched his head and said nothing more.
Su Taotao teased Chenchen and said something similar to what she said to Fu Yuanhang. She also played the clapping game with him. The little guy gradually relaxed and was no longer so averse to other people's looks.
When it was their turn to get food, Chenchen had already let go of his father's neck and leaned his head out to see what delicious food was available.
The food in the base cafeteria was also better than Su Taotao thought.
In the days of material scarcity, there was no shortage of seafood on the island, but people would not eat and drink to excess. Today, there were four dishes in the cafeteria, and Su Taotao actually guessed a few of them. There was one shrimp, one shredded pork with green peppers, one cold shredded kelp, and one stir-fried vegetable.
Su Taotao took Chen Chen over, told him what the dishes were, and then ordered one of each.
These days you have to bring your own tableware when eating in the cafeteria. Fu Zhengtu confirmed the dining arrangement before going out and took his bowl and chopsticks with him.
The four dishes were packed into two lunch boxes, just enough for one vegetable and one meat.
Maybe the people at the base were tired of eating shrimps, as this dish was not as popular as shredded pork with green peppers. The auntie who served the food liked Chen Chen very much. She looked at him several times, then smiled and put a big spoonful of shrimps on their lunch boxes without shaking the spoon at all.
Chenchen and Fu Yuanhang were very interested in the bright red curved shrimps, especially Chenchen, whose big eyes were fixed on the shrimps in his father's lunch box and he had completely forgotten about being watched by others.
Su Taotao found a seat in a corner. There was no children's dining table here. Su Taotao held Chen Chen and Fu Yuanhang and sat facing the wall, while Fu Zhengtu sat facing outside.
Chen Chen pointed at the lunch box with a smile: "Mom, eat shrimp~~"
Su Taotao picked some shredded pork from the green pepper and pork dish and put it in his bowl: "Let dad peel it for you."
She likes eating seafood, but hates to peel the shell. She is usually too lazy to peel it and just puts the meat into her mouth and spits out the shell.
Fresh seafood tastes delicious no matter how you cook it. The method here is also the simplest. Blanch the ginger, scallions and salt water until cooked, and it will be delicious.
Fu Zhengtu had already picked up the shrimp before Su Taotao opened her mouth, and motioned Fu Yuanhang to take one as well.
The two brothers tacitly understood each other and kept silent. Fu Zhengtu broke off the shrimp head, and Fu Yuanhang followed him to break off the shrimp head. Fu Zhengtu started from the shrimp neck and peeled the shell layer by layer towards the shrimp tail. Finally, he broke off the tail and got a complete shrimp meat that was red with white color.
Although Fu Yuanhang's movements were a little unfamiliar, he was a good worker and had a strong learning ability. He was only a little slow, but he still got a whole shrimp.
The brothers had a very good understanding. Fu Zhengtu put the peeled shrimps in Su Taotao's bowl, while Fu Yuanhang put the peeled shrimps in the dust bowl.
"Wow~~" Little Fu Haochen opened his eyes wide.
Su Taotao stared at the shrimp in her bowl for a moment, then smiled: "No need to peel them for me, I can eat them directly, Xiaohang also peeled them himself and ate them."
As he said this, he put the shrimps in his bowl into Chenchen's bowl, lowered his head and whispered in his ear: "Chenchen, this is your first time eating shrimps, so don't eat too much. Do you remember your mother taught you to count?"
Chen Chen nodded: "Remember~~"
Su Taotao said: "Chenchen can eat five shrimps today. How many are here?"
Without thinking, Chenchen made a non-standard V sign with his other three fingers half raised: "Fuck~~"
Su Taotao then asked, "How many more should Dad help you peel?"
The boy lowered his head and pointed at his chubby fingers, making an even less standard 3: "Three~~"
Su Taotao touched his head and put the shrimp on his spoon: "Chenchen is really smart. Okay, start eating."
The kid was worried that the shrimp would fall, so he held the spoon with one hand and protected it with the other. He was so happy after taking a bite that his eyes narrowed: "Great~~"
