"Yo, Kukai, are you in a hurry?"

"I've just arrived, Uncle Tingtian." Kyogoku Kukai smiled and put the suitcase down in the car, and then ran into the passenger seat.

"Fasten your seatbelts and go!"

Along the way, Koji Tateda told him in detail about the reconstruction of Rebun Island.

Although the casualties were not heavy after the meteor fell that day, the buildings near the crater either collapsed directly or were crumbling and needed to be rebuilt, as was his small convenience store.

Originally, everyone thought that this reconstruction would take at least half a year, but what they didn't expect was that it had only been two months, and the reconstruction work on the island had already been completed.

Seeing Uncle Ting Tian talk about the recent events with a red face, Kyogoku Kukai nodded thoughtfully.

If I'm not mistaken, this should be the work of Jinguji Mio again, and not only the Kyogoku family, but all the reconstruction work in the affected area has been advanced.

"Alas......" Kyogoku Kukai sighed secretly, this favor is owed again.

After driving along the renovated coastal road for a while, Koji Tateda stopped at the intersection in front of Kyogoku Kukai's house.

Seeing Kyogoku Kukai take down his luggage, he pointed to the cargo compartment again: "Did you see it there, take it back and stew it." ”

Kyogoku Kukai was not polite either, and took out the basket of fresh seafood.

"Thank you, Uncle Tingtian, come to dinner tomorrow, I'll cook."

Koji Tingtian smiled heartily: "Okay, I haven't tasted your craft for so long, and I'm going to have a good drink with your dad tomorrow." ”

Bidding farewell to Koji Tateda, Kyogoku Kukai took his things and set foot on the path inside.

Walking to the familiar courtyard gate, he looked at the house in front of him in a trance.

The ruins have long been cleared, except that they are newer and more solid, and the village house in front of them is almost exactly the same as the home in Kyogoku Kukai's impression, and even the pots of flowers that my mother loves the most are also placed in their original places.

"Rebirth: The Great Age of Waves"

A smile crept up his face, and Kyogoku Kukai knocked the door.

"I'm back!"

"Kukai!" Kyogoku Yunko, who came to hear the news, opened the door with a smile.

"So early, I thought your Uncle Tingtian would have to wait for you for a while."

"I waited for him for a while, and he sent me a lot of seafood."

"It looks good, put it in the kitchen, by the way, did you invite him to dinner tomorrow?"

"Of course, I'll cook tomorrow, by the way, what about Daddy?"

Kyogoku's mother pointed to the kitchen, "Well, you're working on the ingredients inside." ”

Putting down his things, Kyogoku Kukai walked into the kitchen and shouted, "Daddy, I'm back!" ”

Kyo Daisuke showed a gentle smile: "It's good to come back, tired or not, go and rest for a while." ”

"I'm fine, how's your leg?"

Kyogoku's father kicked his leg twice: "Okay, the doctors are strange, saying that they have never seen a fracture recover so quickly." ”

"That means you're on a good footing." Kyogoku Kukai said with a smile.

Glancing at the work in his father's hand, he rolled up his sleeves and said, "What do you want me to help with?" ”

"It's almost the same, you can wait for dinner," Kyogoku's mother, who walked in, said casually, and then she remembered something, "Oh, by the way, you go to the backyard to see why Mio has been picking some food for so long." ”

"What did you say?" Kyogoku Kukai's face froze.

"Mio," Kyogoku's mother gave her son a strange look, "I wonder why you two came home so early than you when you two came back on a steamer." ”

"One class?" Kyogoku Kukai remembered the familiar figure on the ship.

"That's right, Mio arrived home ten minutes earlier than you, why, you two didn't see it on the ship?" Kyogoku's mother's expression had become a little suspicious.

Why haven't we met, people obviously don't want to see me...... Kyogoku Sokai smiled and explained, "I didn't make an appointment in advance, I thought she would come back tomorrow." ”

Kyogoku's mother glanced at him with disgust, and said bitterly: "It's all said, let you take care of Mio more, it's good for you to go home and don't make an appointment with others." ”

"Hey, hey, rely on me, rely on me." Kyogoku Kukai had to put the pot on his back.

As the mother and son were talking, a light figure came from the backyard, wearing an old dress that she had gotten out of nowhere, and a vegetable basket in her hand.

At this time, the girl is a little less sharp and delicate, but more warm and natural.

The gazes of Kyogoku Kukai and Jinguji Mio involuntarily converged, and both of them were stunned, and then looked away unnaturally.

Growing up together since childhood, and knowing each other for more than ten years, Kyogoku Kukai is the first time to feel such an awkward look between the two.

Jinguji Mio quickly returned to her former appearance, she trotted into the kitchen with a vegetable basket, and raised it as if to take credit: "How is it?!" Did I pick it well?! ”

"Yes, yes, Mio is getting more and more virtuous." Kyogoku's mother touched the girl's head dotingly.

Jinguji Mio rubbed Kyogoku's mother's hand in enjoyment, and then showed a bright smile towards Kyogoku Kukai: "Kukai, welcome home!" ”

Kyogoku Kukai struggled again and again, and finally showed a smile: "Well, I'm one step later than you." ”

The suspicion in Kyogoku's mother's eyes flashed, and after a little thought, she said, "Okay, it's not a few minutes, you two go to the pool outside and wash this dish." ”

"Isn't there a pool at home...... "Kyogoku Kukai said weakly.

Kyogoku Yunko handed over the vegetable basket: "Didn't you see that your father was processing the ingredients, don't crowd in this kitchen, go outside to wash, it just so happens that you also teach Mio how to choose vegetables." ”

"Okay......" Kyogoku Kukai reluctantly glanced at his kitchen of more than 20 square meters, and went out with a vegetable basket stupidly.

Walking to the pool in the courtyard, he had just bent down when he heard footsteps behind him.

Kyogoku Kukai turned on the faucet, trying to let the sound of the water drown out his stiff voice.

"Coming back today?" He broke off a yellowed leaf.

"Hmm." Mio Jinguji, who was behind him, responded sullenly.

"The ship, the man I saw was you, right?"

"Hmm."

Kyogoku Kukai opened his mouth, and the question that he wanted to ask 'why did he avoid him' was withdrawn from his throat, and he rinsed the cabbage seriously before finally holding out an "oh".

Only the sound of the water flushing between the two was left.

When Kyogoku Kukai straightened up after cleaning the vegetables, Mio Jinguji said something quietly.

"Aunt Yunzi asked you to teach me how to choose vegetables......"

The corners of Kyogoku Kukai's eyes twitched, he didn't take this request to heart at all......

Because, in his eyes, Jinguji Mio is not a guy who is willing to learn to cook well.

What's more, the relationship between the two is still so awkward.

He hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "Then I'll teach you next time." ”

"Okay." The girl quickly agreed.
