Chapter 70 A chill ran from the soles of Su Taotao's feet to her head
The bus to the island departs downstairs at 8 o'clock on time.
For convenience, Su Taotao wore a white shirt and black pants today. The weather was really too hot, so her long hair was tied into a bun without any bangs.
In this era when everyone wears a braid or grows a bangs and has thick bangs, Su Taotao's style is unique.
Her facial features are already beautiful, and she has the appearance of a great beauty with a skull, bones and skin that are all very superior. Now her bangs are all tied up, revealing her perfect forehead and facial features. In addition, after being in the island for so many days in the sun, her whole body is still glowing white. Standing under the sun, she is so dazzling that others dare not look directly at her.
Chenchen, a beauty-obsessed girl, hugged her mother's legs, raised her little face and said in a baby voice: "Mommy~~Beautiful~~"
Su Taotao bent down and pinched his white baby fat, imitating his baby voice: "Son~~ handsome~~"
The mother and son laughed together.
Fu Zhengtu picked up a straw hat and put it on Su Taotao's head: "The sun is too strong."
Su Taotao: “…”
Who would have thought that the rustic and rough straw hat on Su Taotao's head not only did not diminish her beauty, but instead added another kind of charm.
Fu Zhengtu was silent.
The strange feeling of wanting to hide her at home so that no one else could see her surged up again, but he knew it was wrong to think like that and quickly suppressed it.
Except for Su Taotao who was wearing a white shirt and black pants, the three "men" in the Fu family, who were at the top of three age groups, were all wearing the same green military uniform.
The oldest one was tall and stern, holding a cute little baby in one hand and a big bag in the other.
Fu Yuanhang followed behind them, carrying his schoolbag. Su Taotao was walking leisurely beside him. She held the brim of her hat with both hands to prevent it from being blown away by the sea breeze.
One can imagine the visual impact of this family of four walking on the street.
People who know Su Taotao and those who don't envy her are extremely jealous of her.
The driver naturally knew Fu Zhengtu and respectfully called him "Engineer Fu". He took his pass and looked at it. When registering the number of people, he couldn't help but look at his family members a few more times.
I was stunned when I saw this. Mr. Fu’s family is so pleasing to the eyes.
Everyone in the car looked in their direction, but no one dared to approach them.
Chenchen likes to listen to his mother telling him about what he saw on the road while riding in the car. When he is happy, he claps his hands and occasionally asks questions.
The mother and son chatted in low voices all the way.
Today's water bottles were filled with coconut water. When they were talking excitedly, Fu Zhengtu handed the water bottle to them so they could drink a few sips. After they finished drinking, he took it back and screwed the lid on.
After more than half an hour, the car stopped at the central square.
The time to return to the island is 4:30 pm. If you miss the time, the bus will not wait for you and you will have to find a way to go back by yourself.
In fact, no matter what era it is, a family of four like this will always attract people’s attention when walking on the street.
Fortunately, they don't care much about other people's eyes.
Visitors had to buy some gifts first, so their first stop was the supply and marketing cooperative.
In the era of planned economy and shortage of goods, supply and marketing cooperatives were already crowded on weekdays, and there are even more people today on weekends.
Su Taotao had already made a list and asked Fu Zhengtu to pick the items according to the list.
She saw some local specialties outside and asked Fu Zhengtu, "By the way, have you let mom know you're safe?"
Fu Zhengtu nodded: "I called the commune on my first day at work."
Su Taotao pointed at the dried shrimps and kelp and said, "We can't buy these over there. Let's buy some and send them back to mom."
Fu Zhengtu felt very ashamed after hearing this, he had never thought about these things before and spent his weekends in the laboratory. This was the first weekend off for him in all these years.
But now it's different from before. The base has been fixed and everything is on track. It will never be the same again.
Otherwise there is no way to take them all.
Fu Zhengtu nodded: "Just do whatever you think is appropriate."
Su Taotao said, "Then let's split up. You take Xiaohang inside to get the things on the list, and Chenchen and I will stay outside to see what to send to Mom."
Fu Yuanhang shook his head: "Sister-in-law, I'll follow you and help you carry your things."
Fu Zhengtu also thought this arrangement was better. He patted his brother's head and said, "Take good care of them. If you have any problems, come find me inside."
After Fu Zhengtu finished speaking, he disappeared into the crowd.
Su Taotao: “…” You’re really awesome, Fu Zhengtu, you’re so nice to have a child take care of her.
This was not the first time Su Taotao had taken her two children shopping, and she was already very familiar with the process.
The residents of the city did not know the family, but they dared to talk to them enthusiastically.
Su Taotao smiled and responded with a few words, but didn't say much else.
A mother holding a baby kept staring at Chen Chen and said, "Hey, comrade, your baby is so handsome."
Su Taotao nodded lightly and glanced at the baby she was holding: "Thank you." She was not prepared to talk more.
"By the way, comrade, judging from your accent, you don't sound like a local. Where are you from?"
Su Taotao smiled and said, "No." She continued to pick out dried goods.
Su Taotao asked Chenchen: "Chenchen, can we buy this for grandma? This is the small shrimp we put in the seaweed soup and winter melon soup."
Chen Chen thought about it for a moment, and nodded with a smile: "Good~~Good~~for grandma~~"
The lady came closer and closer, and then she started to chat with me: "So your name is Chenchen? How old are you? Why are there only two of you? Don't you live with grandma?"
As she spoke, the aunt took out a candy from her pocket. The candy's wrapper was wrinkled, as if it had been opened and put back again. "Chenchen, auntie will treat you to some candy, okay?"
Chenchen shook her head and dodged, fluttering her long eyelashes, and crawled into her mother's arms.
Su Taotao pulled Chen Chen to the side, away from her, and winked at Fu Yuanhang to follow.
The old lady followed silently.
Wherever Su Taotao went, the aunt followed her, and she also vaguely said something to the other aunt beside her.
This time she did not continue talking to Su Taotao and the others, but just followed them secretly.
The way the old lady looked at Su Taotao and Chen Chen made Fu Yuanhang, who had been silently guarding Su Taotao, feel a chill in his heart.
Su Taotao sensed something was wrong, picked up Chen Chen, and whispered to Fu Yuanhang behind her, "Go call your brother out."
Fu Yuanhang just turned around and went inside to look for Fu Zhengtu.
Su Taotao, who was holding Chen Chen, was stopped by a burly man with unusually developed biceps and a dark face:
"You, a bitch, stole the money from home and bought things from the supply and marketing cooperative to pay back your parents, didn't you? Didn't you just send seafood back last week? Why did you sneak out again after I said a few words to you? There's not that much money at home, don't buy anything, come home with me first!"
As he said this, he was about to pull Su Taotao.
Su Taotao took two steps back to avoid him and looked at him coldly.
The mother who just held the child now appeared on the stage:
"Yes, Mom Chenchen, Chenchen just said last night that shrimp and seaweed soup was delicious, and you insisted on buying it for his grandma today. Even if Dad Chenchen had a gold mine at home, it wouldn't be enough for you to do this. Don't buy it, go back quickly!"
A chill ran from the soles of Su Taotao's feet to the top of her head...
