Chapter 102 The Zhou Family's Eldest Grandson
"Pregnant?" Zhao Yue stuttered, not expecting this to be the answer.
But then I thought, Xu Zhixia has been married for a long time, so it is natural for her to be pregnant.
She was genuinely happy for her best sister: "Really? That's great."
"I'll ask my friends to keep an eye out for some malted milk for you during this time."
Xu Zhixia felt a surge of warmth in her heart. She held Zhao Yue's hand and said, "Then Yueyue, I won't be polite to you anymore."
"When the time comes, tell me how much food and tickets you need, and I'll give them to you."
Zhao Yue readily agreed and chatted with Xu Zhixia for a while.
It was not until the sun was almost directly overhead that she reluctantly prepared to leave.
Xu Zhixia advised: "It's already noon, stay and have lunch."
Zhao Yue shook her head: "No, I still have to go to my aunt's house."
Xu Zhixia was stunned for a moment: "Your aunt?"
Zhao Yue nodded: "My aunt's surname is Zhao. She works at the supply and marketing cooperative on the island. Xia Xia, you should know her too."
Isn't that Aunt Zhao? This was beyond Xu Zhixia's expectations.
Although both of them had the surname Zhao, Xu Zhixia never thought that they were related.
Since Zhao Yue said so, Xu Zhixia did not continue to try to persuade her to stay.
When Zhao Yue was about to leave, she hesitated and lowered her voice to tell Xu Zhixia, "Xia Xia, Song Hao and I are together."
Song Hao? The postman? Pretty fast.
Xu Zhixia was not surprised and gave her sincere congratulations, "That's great, congratulations."
A blush appeared on Zhao Yue's face, revealing a little girl's delicate demeanor: "Don't tell anyone else yet, I'm still observing him."
Xu Zhixia teased, "How long do you plan to observe this?"
Zhao Yue stammered and was speechless, wanting to lower her head to the ground.
Xu Zhixia no longer made things difficult for her and smiled to relieve the situation: "Okay, I was just kidding."
"I may not come to see you during this period, but if you miss me, you are welcome to come over anytime."
"But don't buy anything next time, or I'll be mad at you."
Zhao Yue agreed with a smile, but whether she could do it or not...that was not certain.
On the other side, after Zhou An finished training, he did not go home immediately, but came to Political Commissar Zhou's office.
Political Commissar Zhou was just about to leave when he was stunned when he saw him.
"What are you doing here, kid?"
Zhou An gave a standard military salute, then said, "Uncle Zhou, can I use the phone?"
Political Commissar Zhou was surprised and couldn't help asking, "Why are you willing to be treated specially today?"
The army has a special communications room. When calling the soldiers, you only need to pay each time, and no tickets are needed.
Sometimes when we are waiting in line, what we say may be heard by other comrades, which is a bit inconvenient.
So when Zhou An first arrived on the island, Political Commissar Zhou told him that he could come to his office to borrow his phone if he had any questions.
At that time, Zhou An told him seriously: "Uncle Zhou, this is special treatment. We cannot encourage this kind of atmosphere."
Political Commissar Zhou didn't say anything, but he kept this matter in mind. Didn't he encounter this today?
Zhou An looked away awkwardly at the teasing look from Political Commissar Zhou.
He touched the tip of his nose and coughed twice.
Given his personality, he rarely does such things.
But the current situation is special. On the day when the news of Xu Zhixia's pregnancy was announced, Xu's mother advised that it would be best not to tell anyone about it before the baby is three months old.
Although what Xu's mother said was obscure, he could still hear that it was not good for the child.
He didn't want to gamble even if there was a tiny possibility.
That's why we found Political Commissar Zhou. After all, there is a separate landline in his office.
Seeing that Zhou An said nothing, Political Commissar Zhou did not continue to joke.
He said considerately: "You go ahead and I'll go out and have a cigarette."
After he finished speaking, he walked outside and did not forget to close the door.
Zhou An breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the phone and dialed the familiar number.
Almost the next second, the other party picked up the phone.
A gentle and familiar female voice sounded: "Hello."
Zhou An pursed his lips and said, "Mom, it's me."
Zhou's mother was a little surprised. She couldn't remember how long it had been since she had spoken to her son on the phone.
Because she knew Zhou An would not look for her if he had nothing to do, she asked directly: "What's the matter?"
Realizing that Zhou's mother still had that decisive attitude, Zhou An relaxed.
A smile flashed in his eyes, and his voice couldn't help but soften: "Mom, Xia Xia is pregnant."
After the words were spoken, the other side became unusually quiet.
Zhou An was puzzled and asked, "Mom, did you hear me?"
Zhou's mother suppressed her excitement and said, "Mom, what mom? I heard it."
"No, your island is short of resources. Don't let Xia Xia suffer any loss."
"Or let Xia Xia go back to Jing City. Your father and I will definitely be able to take good care of her."
"I still have some malted milk tickets at home. I'll give it to Xia Xia to replenish her body..."
Mother Zhou spoke incessantly, the joy in her voice overflowing uncontrollably.
When Xu Zhixia was young, Zhou's mother had met her several times.
The delicate little girl made her sigh more than once why she didn't have a daughter.
So when she knew that Zhou An was going to marry Xu Zhixia, she agreed without hesitation even though Xu Zhixia's family was labeled as capitalists.
When she thought about having a grandson, she felt so overwhelmed with love that she had no place to express it.
Zhou An paused inconspicuously, as if he had forgotten to tell his mother that the Xu family had moved to the island.
He pretended to be casual and said, "You and Dad are both very busy, and what's the matter with us being separated?"
"I'll ask my mother-in-law and the others if they're willing to come and take care of Xia Xia."
Zhou's mother felt disappointed, but she had to admit that what Zhou An said made sense.
Besides, Xu Zhixia would probably prefer to be taken care of by her mother than her mother-in-law.
Mother Zhou had no choice but to give up the idea. She quickly cheered up and said, "Then I'll sort it out and mail something to you later."
"If my mother-in-law agrees, you can give her some subsidies when the time comes."
"Let Xia Xia relax. Taking good care of your health is the most important thing."
"We're not a picky family. We treat boys and girls the same."
Zhou An nodded and responded.
After giving a few more instructions, Zhou's mother hung up the phone and hurried to find Uncle Wu.
This is the eldest grandson of their Zhou family, and he must be treated well.
I also need to exchange some tickets to provide Xia Xia with nutrition.
At this time, Xu Zhixia didn't know that a large package was on the way to the mail.
After Zhou An hung up the phone and walked out of the office, he saw Political Commissar Zhou standing by the window.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, he strode over.
He said casually, "This call took quite a long time."
You know, in the past, it was considered a good deal if Zhou An could make a phone call for three minutes, but this time it lasted half an hour.
It's really...strange.
