Chapter 227 Good Morning, Little Angel

Chapter 227 Good Morning, Little Angel

The little one rarely wanted to sleep with them, so Fu Zhengtu naturally couldn’t bring himself to send him away.

The little one even wanted to sleep right between his parents, with his left foot touching his dad and his right hand hugging his mom, feeling quite pleased with himself.

The little one felt especially happy and closed his eyes, saying, "Mommy, can I recite some poems for you?"

Su Taotao replied, "Of course!"

Chenchen started reciting from "At noon, we hoe the fields" to "Meeting you again amidst the falling flowers," reciting whatever came to mind, and no one kept count of how many poems he recited.

In any case, he fell asleep while reciting.

Su Taotao softly stroked the little one’s head and whispered, "Isn’t our little one amazing? He hasn’t recited poems in a long time, how does he still remember?"

Fu Zhengtu switched off the light, reached over Chenchen to take her hand, placed it on his chest, and covered it with his own hand, gently rubbing it. "He has a better memory than most people, so it’s normal for him to remember."

Su Taotao turned and gazed at the man’s chiseled jawline in the moonlight. "Are you like that too?"

Fu Zhengtu replied, "Almost, but not quite as good as him."

Compared to most people, he was pretty good, but compared to Chenchen, he seemed to be even better.

Su Taotao had done a great job raising him, and Chenchen’s nutrition was well-balanced, so he rarely got sick, and his brain developed very well.

Back in Fu Zhengtu’s day, life was tough, and he often didn’t have enough to eat, so his mental sharpness wasn’t nearly as good as Chenchen’s.

Su Taotao had been busy all day and was exhausted, so she fell asleep while talking.

Fu Zhengtu gently placed her hand back, kissed her forehead, and then kissed Chenchen’s forehead.

Then, with a smile, he drifted off to sleep.

The next day, Su Taotao woke up the earliest.

When she opened her eyes, both Fu Zhengtu and Chenchen were still asleep.

She rolled over and saw the father and son sleeping in identical positions, and couldn’t help but smile.

Genetics really is an amazing science.

She quietly slipped out of bed, and when she went downstairs, Fu Yuanhang was already cleaning the yard.

Bai Bai chased after the broom, playing a game of hide-and-seek.

Fu Yuanhang was careful not to hurt Bai Bai, so he swept slowly.

"Good morning, Xiao Hang."

"Good morning, sis."

"The yard was cleaned last night; once a day is enough, no need to overdo it," Su Taotao said.

Fu Yuanhang pointed to the towering tree at the entrance and said, "It’s too close to this big tree, so there are always some fallen leaves."

Alright, the men in the house are too diligent; they sweep the yard clean every day before she gets up, so she usually doesn’t see any fallen leaves.

"Yuanhang, go and preheat the oven for me first. I’ll bake a cake later."

"Sure," Fu Yuanhang put down the broom and went to light the oven.

At this time, Fu Zhengtu also came down.

He quickly finished sweeping the yard and went to the bathroom to ask Su Taotao, "What do you feel like eating today? I’ll go buy breakfast."

Su Taotao shook her head, "We’re eating at home today. I’m going to bake a cake. Go ahead and prepare some malted milk to cool. It’s better to drink it cool on such a hot day. Just make some milk for Chenchen."

Fu Zhengtu nodded, "Okay."

...

Everyone was busy with their own tasks, and a fulfilling, ordinary, yet busy day began in the small yard in the morning.

By the time Fu Yuanhang got the oven ready, little Chenchen was up too.

After everyone finished getting ready, Su Taotao’s cake was already in the oven.

Fu Zhengtu was planning to take the kids swimming today.

"You coming?" Fu Zhengtu asked Su Taotao.

Su Taotao shook her head, "I’ll pass. Take your time, it’s fine. Yuanhang doesn’t need to take the bus later; he can ride with me to Mr. Tang’s place; no rush."

Fu Zhengtu had the day off today, so he decided to take the kids out for some fun.

"Okay."

Fu Yuanhang opened the door, and Uncle Mu, who was about to knock, almost bumped in.

"You’re right on time. Starting today, I’m joining you for martial arts," Uncle Mu flexed his non-existent muscles.

Chenchen said, "We’re not doing martial arts today~~ we’re going swimming~~"

Uncle Mu was surprised, "Ah? You’re going swimming? My brother just finished watering the plants and said he’s going swimming too, asking if I wanted to come along."

As he spoke, Mo Jiazhe came down, showing his bright white teeth, "Morning everyone, you guys going swimming too?"

Chenchen nodded, "Yeah~~ Uncle Jiji~~ let’s go together~~"

Mo Jiazhe, with his bright white smile, was still grinning, "Okay, let’s go together."

Fu Zhengtu gave the kid a gentle pat on the head, "This way, go and tell your master."

Chenchen toddled ahead, "Okay~~"

The kid walked a few steps and suddenly stopped, turned around, and stretched out his small, chubby hand towards Fu Zhengtu, tilting his little head, "Daddy~~ carry me~~"

Fu Zhengtu bent down to pick up the kid, "Don’t you want to grow tall? How can you grow if you don’t like to exercise?"

Everyone followed Fu Zhengtu and Chenchen in unison.

Chenchen clearly stated, "Playing in the water will be tiring later~~ I’ll be soaking in water~~ and sunbathing~~ I’ll definitely grow tall today~~"

Chenchen leaned on his father’s shoulder, looking back at Mo Jiazhe, "Uncle Jiji~~ isn’t that right~~"

Although Mo Jiazhe didn’t know why he was singled out by the little angel, he felt very honored: "Yeah, you’re totally right."

Chenchen then asked, "Uncle Jiji, how much water do I need to soak in to grow as tall as you?"

Mo Jiazhe: "?" How was he supposed to answer that? He grew tall by eating, not by soaking in water.

Mo Jiazhe looked at Fu Zhengtu, who was a couple of centimeters taller than him, and had an idea: "Why don’t you ask your dad? He’s taller than me."

"Ah~~" The little one turned back, cupped his dad’s face to look at it, then turned back to look at Mo Jiazhe.

Looking troubled, he said, "Can't tell~~ but my daddy is more handsome~~"

Fu Zhengtu smirked and patted the kid’s head: "Be quiet for a while."

Mo Jiazhe: "..." He also has eyes.

Everyone knows Fu’s the best-looking guy at the base.

"The '100,000 Whys' Chenchen" left Mo Jiazhe speechless, so he quietly closed his mouth and fell to the back of the group.

It happened to be the weekend.

Everyone wanted to hit the beach while they had the chance.

Dong Shengping hadn’t been to the beach since he arrived here.

He used to avoid crowds, but since starting work, he’s opened up more.

He decided to go with them.

As they walked down, they bumped into a few more friends, both kids and adults.

The group grew larger and larger, eventually turning into a dozen people heading to the beach together...

The sight made Fu Zhengtu want to turn around.

He just wanted to quietly teach the two kids how to swim, not join the crowd.

Just as they hit the island road, Zhou Zheng showed up with his cousin Zhou Weining.

Zhou Weining thought she was seeing things—she actually saw Chenchen!

Zhou Weining even forgot how terrifying Fu was.

She skipped over to Chenchen, grinning ear to ear: "Good morning, little angel..."

Everyone: "..." Then, they all looked over.

Chenchen waved his little paw like a beckoning cat: "..."

Good morning, silly auntie.
