Today was Sunday.
Sunday was a good day because every Sunday morning when I woke up I could see my wife beside me.
My wife was a devout Catholic, and he went nearby church for Mass every Sunday. So the night before, he would usually come back very early, change clothes, practice basic skills1Basic skills, or basic practice are courses that solve the basic skills of opera actors. Basic skills mainly deal with the softness of the legs (straight leg, oblique leg, side leg, parallel leg, covered leg) and various skills such as: turning over (squat turning, standing turning), etc. and take a shower. Then he would sit down at the dinner table to wait for me to serve dinner.
Only the head of the household had the right to cook—this was what my mother told me. So I’m very satisfied with being the head of the family and cooking.
I’m just a little dissatisfied with the food I cook.
For example, today, I obviously wanted to fry spring rolls, but I don’t know why they turned into fried crispy diced pork with leeks, shiitake mushrooms, and shrimp.
Me: ???
When my wife came in to get the dishes and chopsticks, he asked me what I made today.
I said it was stir-fried crispy diced pork with leek, shiitake mushroom and shrimp.
My wife asked again, has it been cooked yet?
I said it was cooked.
That’s good, after he spoke, he went out with a bowl and chopsticks in his hand.
I silently turned the fire to the maximum, for fear I would accidentally not stir-fry until the food was cooked.
After tinkling and stir-frying for a while, I finally managed to burn the whole dish.
I calmly looked at the black mass in the pot and dumped it into the trash can with a flick of my hand. Then I took out the food packed in the restaurant from the refrigerator, put it in better utensils, and sent it to the microwave.
For dinner, we had YaCuiXuan’s jade shrimp, boiled Chinese flowering cabbage, fish head radish soup , and white rice.
My wife did not eat much, but she ate very contentedly.
I was also very satisfied with it.
Actually, I wanted to ask him, do you still remember the fried crispy diced pork with leek, shiitake mushroom, and shrimp? That was what I made.
But in the end, I didn’t ask.
I love my wife.

The day after tomorrow is my wife and I’s wedding anniversary, and I have decided to use today and tomorrow together to think about how to spend the day after tomorrow.
My mother used to advise me on dates, and sometimes my dad would also give me advice. But now that I am married and have a wife, if I still relied on my parents for advice, my wife would definitely look down on me.
So I decided to arrange this date on my own and did not ask my parents.
I have a lot of confidence in myself.
Because, after every previous date I had been, I took serious notes afterward. It included the time, location, character, scene, dialogue, tone, and development results. In the end, there was also a note about the meaning and value of the experience and how it would guide me in my next appointment.
I have written a total of three large A5 notebooks. Apart from the fact that 50% of the first book was a factual record of the appointment, the following two books plus 50% of the first book were improvement methods and measures that I have come up with based on the actual situation of each appointment, personal reflection, and feedback.
My mother said that as long as one was willing to put in effort, there would always be gains.
I think it was time for me to harvest.
When I went to bed at night, I still didn’t come up with any good ideas, but it was okay. I reviewed the content in my notes and summarized the key points and matters, drew a mind map, and added two little people holding hands. Later, I felt that the two little people were too lonely, so I added a dog to them, drew a dog’s kennel, and painted the living room and sofa.
It still felt a little empty, so I painted the floor, wallpaper, chandeliers, the kitchen door, a corner of the bedroom, and the potted plants my wife kept on the balcony.
It feels perfect.
I think I have forgotten something?
I love my wife.
