Chapter 306: Awakened
"I...I just want to cook a meal."
This was Xu Xun's first time cooking. He always thought cooking was not difficult, but after trying it today, he couldn't help but doubt his own IQ.
"go out."
Kang Zhimiao pushed Xu Xun out. She quickly cleaned up the mess left by Xu Xun, and then simply made two plates of mixed cold dishes and sesame noodles.
"The food my mother cooked is so delicious." After taking a big bite, Xu Rui gave Kang Zhimiao a thumbs up.
Kang Zhimiao rubbed Xu Rui's head and said, "It's delicious. Ruirui, eat more. When mom takes a day off on Sunday, I'll take you to the state-owned restaurant to eat meat pies."
"Really, Mom?" Xu Rui's eyes sparkled: "Can I ask Jiusi and Yaya to go with me?"
Kang Zhimiao nodded: "Sure."
"Then I'll call Yaya later and tell her in advance."
After Xu Rui finished speaking, he stood up and changed his mind: "I'd better call her now."
"Why is this kid so impetuous?"
Xu Xun wanted to talk to Kang Zhimiao, but Kang Zhimiao ignored him, lowered her head, finished her noodles, and took the bowl to the kitchen.
Xu Rui would also take the bowl to the kitchen after eating. Xu Xun always pushed the bowl away at home before, so this was the first time he noticed this detail.
"Rui Rui, come here."
Xu Xun waved to Xu Rui, and Xu Rui ran to Xu Xun: "Dad, what's the matter?"
"Why did you take the bowl to the kitchen?"
"Of course you have to take the dishes to the kitchen after you finish eating. That way, whoever washes them will have one less task to do."
Xu Rui took Xu Xun's hand and said, "Dad, Mom didn't wash the dishes today, so you can wash them."
"I...I wash?"
Xu Xun was now afraid of entering the kitchen, but Xu Rui did not give him a chance to regret and pulled him straight into the kitchen.
Completely different from before, after Kang Zhimiao cleaned up, the place was exceptionally clean and tidy, except for a burnt smell.
Xu Xun looked at the bowl in the sink, not knowing where to start. He turned to look at Xu Rui: "Rui Rui, how do we wash this?"
"Dad, you're so stupid that you can't even wash the dishes."
Xu Rui wrinkled his nose at Xu Xun: "I'll call your mother over for you and let her teach you."
"Don't……"
Xu Xun failed to stop Xu Rui, and Xu Rui had already run away. He changed his mind and thought that this was also a good opportunity to improve his relationship with Kang Zhimiao.
After Kang Zhimiao came over, he didn't teach Xu Xun, but rolled up his sleeves and washed the dishes himself.
Xu Xun watched from the side and thought that washing dishes was a simple task and he could do it well.
"Zhi Miao, let me wash the dishes from now on."
Xu Xun followed Kang Zhimiao into the house. After seeing Kang Zhimiao dancing, her figure kept lingering in his mind, making him fall in love with her again after a long time.
"Old Xu, just tell me what you want to do." Kang Zhimiao made it clear: "I can't quit my job."
"You can go ahead if you want."
Xu Xun's words made Kang Zhimiao think that he had misheard: "What did you say?"
"I said if you want to go to work, go ahead, as long as you are happy."
Xu Xun sat aside and looked at Kang Zhimiao: "I have thought carefully about what you said these days. I was wrong before. I was too stubborn. I considered Ruirui and my family, but I didn't consider you. I also want to understand why you are angry with me."
"You... have you figured it out?" Kang Zhimiao was very skeptical. She and Xu Xun had been married for several years. She couldn't say that she knew him very well, but she was still clear about his temperament.
Xu Xun touched his nose awkwardly: "Xiao Yue woke me up."
"Xiao Yue?" Kang Zhimiao's first thought was: "Yue Mingyuan?"
"Yes." Xu Xun did not hide it from Kang Zhimiao: "I went to a meeting the day before yesterday and happened to meet Xiao Yue. I thought you and Xiao Ye were getting along well, but I didn't know who to tell about this, so I just told Xiao Yue a few words."
"A bystander sees more clearly than an involved party. Xiao Yue saw the problem right away. I thought it was a little ridiculous at the time, but when I went to school to watch you dance today, I think he was right."
Kang Zhimiao asked Xu Xun: "So you also listened to Xiaoyue's advice when you thought about cooking?"
“Well…I guess so.”
Xu Xun was even more embarrassed when he talked about this: "Xiao Yue said that there were many complicated things to do at home. For so many years, you have been taking care of the family, but I don't see your value."
"After I came back, I thought about cooking. I'm not afraid of you laughing at me. I don't think cooking is difficult."
But who would have thought that he cut his hand while cutting vegetables, and then he almost burned down the kitchen when he tried to cook. Only then did he realize that he thought it was easy because Kang Zhimiao had always been doing this.
"No wonder you always scold me for talking without any pain in my waist."
Xu Xun grabbed Kang Zhimiao's hand and said, "Zhimiao, thank you for your contribution to our family over the years. I didn't do well in the past and ignored you."
"Also, I've always felt really guilty about Xu Wan hurting you last time."
Kang Zhimiao didn't ask for much. She just wanted Xu Xun to see what she did, and not think that it was easy for her to just do housework and take care of the children at home every day.
Kang Zhimiao's eyes were red from all the grievances she had suffered over the years. Xu Xun hugged her and said, "Zhimiao, let's live a good life in the future. Don't bring up divorce so easily, okay? I know now that I have done many things wrong. Tell me what I did wrong. "
"How come you can talk so well all of a sudden?" Kang Zhimiao gently hit Xu Xun on the chest.
"I'm afraid you'll divorce me."
Xu Xun was serious. He felt that Kang Zhimiao really wanted to divorce him.
When they first got married, they quarreled often. Later, Kang Zhimiao stopped quarreling with him. She was very happy and felt that Kang Zhimiao had finally grown up.
But now thinking about it, she was not sensible, but she was just too lazy to argue with him anymore.
She was doing better and better in all aspects, but she was becoming less and less happy.
He didn't notice all this.
Kang Zhimiao had never told him about divorce. This was the first time. Even though he insisted on getting a divorce, God knew he was actually very scared.
He didn't know why he felt scared, but he just didn't want to divorce Kang Zhimiao.
"Will you be with me and Ruirui on Sunday?" Kang Zhimiao cleverly changed the subject.
Xu Xun knew that the conflict between the two had been resolved, and quickly said: "Let's be together. We are a family, of course we have to be together."
On Sunday, Xu Xun and Kang Zhimiao were preparing to take Xu Rui out, but Xu Wan came back crying first.
"What's going on again?" Xu Xun felt a headache when he saw Xu Wan.
When Kang Zhimiao saw Xu Wan like this, she knew without a second thought that Chen Can must have found another woman.
Xu Xun didn't even bother to care about Xu Wan, and she wouldn't go out of her way to cause trouble.
"Old Xu, shall I take Ruirui with me to pick up Yaya and Jiusi first?"
Xu Xun sent Kang Zhimiao and Xu Rui to the gate of the courtyard and told them, "Be careful, I'll be there soon."
