    Chapter 268: Airplane Oh~~ Flying in the Sky Oh~~

    Auntie Zhong and Xiao Lu had finished their investigation by quitting time.

    Su Taotao hadn't made lunch for the kids in a long time. Before leaving in the morning, she asked Fu Yuanhang to buy groceries, and she would pick up Chenchen on her way back at noon.

    Zhang Chuncheng was coming home for lunch today. Xia Zhiqiu had left before Su Taotao and already picked up Dongdong.

    When Su Taotao arrived at the school, poor Pangpang was being yanked out of the classroom by his mother, who had him by the ear.

    Pangpang was wailing loudly, "Why, why can't I play with Chenchen? I want to go to school! I want to play with Chenchen, waaah waaah..."

    Pangpang's mother dragged him away fiercely, "What school? Mom lost her job; how are we supposed to pay for your school?

    I told you not to play with them, who is their mom? Who is your mom? Do you think you're good enough?

    Come on, hurry home, if you don't leave now, you won't have a home to come back to, I don't care if you starve out there!"

    "Waaah waaah..." No matter how chubby Pangpang was, he was just a little over four years old, naturally not as strong as an adult. His ear hurting from his mother's grip, he could only cry loudly.

    While crying, he kept calling out "Chenchen."

    This left little Chenchen completely baffled.

    Who was Su Taotao? Hearing what Pangpang's mother said, she didn't need Auntie Zhong's report to figure out who was behind the rumor storm.

    When Pangpang's mother passed by Su Taotao, she deliberately bumped into her arm and gave her a cold look, "Don't get too smug! You won't be this lucky forever!"

    Su Taotao smiled faintly and replied, "But you'll always be stuck with your bad luck."

    After saying that, she ignored her and went in to pick up Chenchen.

    Chenchen was leaning on the windowsill, his chin resting on his small, chubby hand, watching Pangpang eagerly:

    "Mommy~~ What's going on with Pangpang~~"

    Su Taotao pushed Chenchen's ride over and lifted the child onto it:

    "Probably had a fight with his mom, let's go home, mommy will make you something delicious."

    Chenchen swung his little short legs and said with a smile, "Mommy~~ You're a perfect mommy too~~"

    Mommy always smiled at him, never spoke loudly to him like Pangpang's mom, and never pulled or scolded him...

    Su Taotao gently ruffled Chenchen's hair:

    "Because our little Chenchen is a perfect child, never giving mommy and daddy any worries."

    Chenchen smiled and kicked his little short legs, "Our whole family is perfect~~"

    Su Taotao: "Yes, daddy, little uncle, and grandma are all perfect."

    Chenchen: "Yeah~~"

    ...

    Auntie Zhong knew Su Taotao went to pick up Chenchen first and had been waiting at the door.

    Seeing her come out, she quickly approached, "I just saw Pangpang's mom's face turn grim, she was pulling and hitting Pangpang, you guessed it was her, right? Did you have it out with her?"

    Auntie Zhong knew just how clever Su Taotao was.

    Su Taotao: "I guessed it. She probably couldn't do anything to me, so she took it out on her own child."

    A mother with such emotional instability would really harm her child.

    Auntie Zhong sighed: "There are all kinds of people. I never realized she was like this before."

    Su Taotao said: "Many couples spend a lifetime together without really knowing who the other person is. It's normal not to have noticed."

    Auntie Zhong nodded: "That's true. Do you need me to fill you in on the details?"

    Su Taotao shook her head: "This isn't the place to talk, and it's not worth wasting time on her. You handle it."

    Auntie Zhong nodded again: "Taotao, I really admire your knack for picking the right people. Xiao Lu also impressed me today. His future... well, let's just say his future is bright."

    Su Taotao smiled: "It's not that I have a good eye for people, but that our Fu has a good eye for people. Anyone he personally trains is bound to be good."

    Auntie Zhong was stunned for a moment, then laughed:

    "Of course! One of the reasons Fu became well-known at the base was that he frequently changed assistants. None of them could stick around for long under him.

    Zhengtu never fired anyone; they all quit on their own, saying they couldn't handle it.

    Our Old Mo's current assistant worked under Zhengtu for a few months and still brags about it to this day.

    Old Mo often says that people trained by Zhengtu are in a league of their own.

    Xiao Lu was the assistant who lasted the longest with Zhengtu. It was only after Zhengtu changed positions and no longer needed field work that Xiao Lu became a flexible staff member.

    Then he ended up following you and became a key player in our factory. What a twist of fate!"

    Su Taotao suddenly remembered the first time she went to the train station to pick up Xiao Lu, who was adamant about working with her, and couldn't help but smile.

    "Actually, it's more accurate to say that Xiao Lu has a good eye for choosing superiors. Whether it's me or Fu, he actively chose us and stuck with us."

    Auntie Zhong: "You're right, Xiao Lu has a good eye too.

    That's why I'm even more upset. We're all working hard and honestly for the factory, yet we're being talked about so badly. Such people really deserve to be fired multiple times over."

    "Auntie Zhong..." Su Taotao shook her head at her, "Factory issues should stay within the factory."

    Auntie Zhong glanced around; luckily, no one was nearby, and she whispered, "I'll be more careful next time."

    ...

    When Su Taotao got home, Fu Yuanhang had already cooked the rice and prepped the veggies, waiting for her to come back and stir-fry them.

    "Sis, Chenchen, you're back? I'll go start the fire."

    "Our Yuanhang is so capable; it saves me a lot of trouble," Su Taotao said.

    Chenchen squinted his eyes: "Uncle Shu gets a perfect score~~ awesome~~"

    Fu Yuanhang ruffled Chenchen's hair: "You're the best."

    Chenchen: "Yeah~~ I'm also a perfect little angel~~"

    Both Su Taotao and Fu Yuanhang couldn't help laughing.

    Su Taotao was about to start cooking when Fu Zhengtu came home.

    "Why are you back at this time? Not busy today?"

    Fu Zhengtu said apologetically, "I have to go on a last-minute business trip, at least a week, maybe ten days."

    Su Taotao was surprised, "So sudden? Is it urgent? If it's urgent, I can whip up some noodles for you."

    Fu Zhengtu shook his head, "There's no time, I have to leave as soon as I get my clothes."

    Su Taotao said, "Go pack, I'll make you an egg pancake, it won't take long."

    Fu Zhengtu nodded, "Okay."

    Chenchen followed Fu Zhengtu like a little shadow, "Daddy, where are you going?"

    Fu Zhengtu picked up the child, patted his head, and as they went upstairs, he said,

    "I need to fly to a faraway place, stay home and be good, listen to mommy and your uncle."

    Chenchen chewed on his small, chubby hand, "Airplane, flying in the sky! Daddy, can you take me with you? I want to fly too!"
