The Northern Stories of Chef Lao Tan

Chapter 395 Understanding
When she got up in the morning, Zhou Xiaomei made breakfast for the three children, and after they finished eating, she led them downstairs and drove them to school.

Xiaoying and Xiaolong are in the second grade of elementary school, and they are sent to school first, and then to Xiaojun in junior high school.

"Mom, can my dad go to work again?" Xiaojun asked.

"Yes, but Mom doesn't want him to go to work, and wants him to take care of the three of you at home." Zhou Xiaomei said.

"Oh." Xiaojun thought for a while and said, "Mom, let my dad go to work. He can't stay at home. Even if he doesn't go to work, he can go out to find work."

"Mom earns enough money to spend." Zhou Xiaomei said.

"You don't know mom, my dad won't let you go to work alone to earn money."

"What?"

"He's a man."

Zhou Xiaomei was taken aback for a moment, she thought that Cao Jiadong would not be idle at home, but she didn't expect Xiaojun to say this, he was just fourteen.

She glanced at Xiao Jun who was sitting in the co-pilot. The child's face had an expression that didn't match his age, a bit-adult-like.

She looked back at the road ahead, and the scene when she saw Xiaojun for the first time appeared in her mind.At that time, the child was just a young adult, and the picture of registering with his sister on his back was painful to think about.

"My Xiaojun has grown up and is a man." Zhou Xiaomei couldn't help but said with a sincere smile.

"Men, add men!"

When sending Xiaojun off and driving back, Zhou Xiaomei was thinking about what Xiaojun said.It's not how important this sentence is, but it reminds her of herself, her three children and her family.

I've been married to Cao Jiadong for half a year, and to be honest, I haven't taken care of my children and family much, it's Jiadong who is in charge of it.As a woman, at the same time as a wife, mother of three children and daughter of two elderly people, it is dereliction of duty.

She loves her husband, her children more, and of course her parents.She did not regard Xiaojun and Xiaoying as children brought by her husband, nor did she treat them that way.She likes these two children as much as Xiaolong, especially Xiaoying, who is her own daughter.

However, it seems that I haven't eaten with the children for a long time, and I haven't taken them out to play. I haven't done anything that a mother should do normally, such as sending the children to school.It seems to be busy all the time, leaving early and returning late, spending far more time outside than at home.

It was after ten o'clock every night when I got home, and the children were asleep.The next morning, the whole family was alone. Cao Jiadong made breakfast for the children and sent them to school after eating.

When I was not married, my mother did these things, but when I was married, my husband did it. How happy I am.

Now that the husband has injured his hand and is missing two fingers, it is time for him to fulfill his duties as a wife and learn how to be a mother.

Thinking of Zhou Xiaomei's smile this week, she smiled happily and contentedly.

When he got home, Cao Jiadong had already got up and dressed, and washed his face with a hand in the bathroom.It looks like I have finished washing, and I turn around to get a towel.

Zhou Xiaomei took the towel first and said to him, "Come on, I'll wipe it for you."

"I can do it myself." Cao Jiadong was still a little embarrassed.

Zhou Xiaomei supported Jiadong's face with one hand, and wiped him with a towel in the other.She is one centimeter shorter than Jiadong, and the woman looks taller. Standing together, it seems that Jiadong is shorter than her.

After being treated like this, Cao Jiadong was a little moved for a moment, and stood there motionless like a good boy.

After wiping his face, seeing that Jiadong's face was flushed, Zhou Xiaomei joked, "I'm sorry, Hei Tianjie hasn't seen you, I'm sorry, I'm tossing hard."

Jiadong felt a little embarrassed, blushed up to the neck, and dared not look at his wife.

Seeing her husband's embarrassment, Zhou Xiaomei smiled, with a hint of sweetness in her heart, she couldn't help stretching out her hands to turn her husband's face towards her, and kissed her lips lightly.

Warm and happy.

She asked Jiadong to sit on the sofa to rest, walked into the kitchen and put on an apron, heated porridge and steamed buns, fried a small salted fish, boiled eggs, and filled the plate with the leftover side dishes from the three children. , Then bring everything to the dinner table, and call her husband to eat.

During the meal, Jiadong said: "I have nothing to do, you don't need to delay, go to work after dinner."

"I won't go today, I'll take care of you at home. Besides, I also have a rest, and I haven't rested for half a year." Zhou Xiaomei said.

"Where don't you go?"

"It's okay, there are Mulan and Yang Jianjun, they can call me if there is something to do, and it's okay, they will take care of it after they come and go."

"The freezer in the Jinqiao store hasn't been repaired yet." Cao Jiadong thought of the freezer in the Jinqiao store.

"What's the matter? You still want to fix it?" Zhou Xiaomei joked, and then said: "Yang Jianjun is a fool, I have already found someone to fix it."

Cao Jiadong thought about it too, his worries were unnecessary, so he laughed at himself.

"I'm not going anywhere today. I'll stay with you at home and let you be the emperor for a day." Zhou Xiaomei said.

"Hey, don't dare, you are the emperor in our family."

Zhou Xiaomei didn't refute, she remembered Xiaojun's words while drinking porridge, and learned from Jiadong.

"That's what I'm talking about. I can't stay at home all the time. I have to go to work when my hands are healed." Jiadong said, "It must have taken a little effort at first, and I'm not as flexible as before. After all, my fingers are gone. But I guess at most three It takes a month to get used to it.”

"I don't want you to go to work." Zhou Xiaomei said.

"Don't worry, everything is a habit. Besides, I can't stay here all the time. The exercise period is good."

"My current salary is [-] yuan, and I still have dividends at the end of the year, which is enough to spend."

"Fine enough, but—am I not a man—"

Cao Jiadong was short of breath when he said this.

After marrying Zhou Xiaomei, he became a door-to-door son-in-law. To be honest, he still feels a little inferior.The main reason for my low self-esteem is that I have no money, no house, no ability, let alone my two children.

In the eyes of outsiders, he is not a softie. After all, he has skills to earn money and support a family of three.It's just that it's unbelievable that Zhou Xiaomei can fall in love with him. After all, Zhou Xiaomei is so good, and she is also a beautiful president, so she can't even fall in love with him.Said that he was a long-term worker hired by the Zhou family and even posted music. He did everything from laundry to cooking, and he probably had to eat leftovers.

Among other things, the employees in the store are talking about everything.

Cao Jiadong is not stupid, it can be seen from those strange, suspicious and even mocking eyes, that he is nothing more than saying that he is nothing, taking his two children under the fence, working as a long-term laborer without money, and having to serve the elderly, retirement.

He doesn't care about these, and believes that he and Zhou Xiaomei are true love.

But true love is true love. As a man, let’s be realistic. He doesn’t earn as much money as his wife. He lives in his wife’s house and brings his two children with him.

Zhou Xiaomei understands him and understands him. Because she understands and understands him, she never mentions or cares about money.On the day of marriage, he handed over the financial power to her husband, and said with a smile: "You take care of the money in our family, but I don't care. In the future, eating and drinking, firewood, rice, oil and salt, human relations, going out of the house, children going to school, and the elderly's expenses, as long as the money is used. It's all your business, I don't care."

She said so, and she did the same, and she handed over her wages.Cao Jiadong didn't want it at first, but after living for a month, it really didn't matter if he didn't - his wife really didn't care.

Zhou Xiaomei doesn't care about money and children, which is understandable, and she really doesn't have time.
