Chapter 105: Package from Beijing
Xu Zhixia didn't expect Zhou An to apologize to her.
She was a little at a loss, and a blush came to her face.
He turned his head away unnaturally and said stiffly in a low voice: "I am being unreasonable."
Zhou An took a step forward, took Xu Zhixia's hand, and said firmly: "No, I have many ways to meet your request, but I directly refused."
"Xia Xia, if there is a next time, I will definitely not do this."
Xu Zhixia couldn't describe her current feeling in words. She stared at Zhou An blankly.
Her originally restless heart suddenly calmed down. Why did she doubt Zhou An's feelings for her?
She suddenly threw herself into Zhou An's arms and responded in a low voice.
Zhou An was stunned for a moment, then put his hand on her back and patted her twice soothingly.
By the time the two of them went downstairs, they had returned to normal.
Haohao glanced at them and sighed like a little adult.
Without him, this family would break up sooner or later.
If you want to know what goes best with snowy days, it must be hotpot.
It happened that Zhou An’s comrade-in-arms returned to his hometown and sent them a large piece of mutton.
So Xu Zhixia happily decided to eat hot pot at home in the evening.
It doesn't require any complicated ingredients, just some meat and simple vegetables will be delicious.
Xu Zhixia excitedly prepared some sesame paste, dipped a little with chopsticks and fed it to Haohao.
Haohao's eyes lit up: "Godmother, this is delicious."
Xu Zhixia said with a smile: "Then I'll make you one too."
Xu's mother cut the mutton into thin slices and prepared seasonal vegetables.
First put the potatoes, which are difficult to cook, in, and then add a large chopstick of meat.
It only takes a few seconds to fish it out.
Wrap it in a circle of sesame paste and put it in your mouth. It is so delicious that you can't help but squint your eyes.
It was obvious that Xu Zhixia didn't like this kind of mutton smell before, but for some reason, she now had a great appetite.
He ate one mouthful after another, and sweat broke out on his forehead.
Xu's mother advised: "Eat less, or you'll get angry later."
Xu Zhixia pouted in dissatisfaction, but also stopped obediently.
Zhou An stood up, went to the kitchen, took out another small bowl, and filled it with mutton soup.
"You can have some soup, it's okay."
After adding mutton and vegetables to the hot pot, they are cooked into a milky white color, which looks very appetizing.
Xu Zhixia gave him a sweet smile in return, took it and took a sip.
The sweet taste rushes into your mouth, it is a taste of happiness.
Haohao couldn't help but sigh: "It would be great if I could eat hot pot every day."
Everyone smiled at each other, and no one took this matter to heart.
As the weather gets colder, Xu Zhixia rarely goes out.
Her belly gradually became curvier, but her limbs were still slender, and she didn't look pregnant at all.
However, the symptoms of pregnancy have appeared. Not only is my temper erratic, but I also feel a little nauseous when eating.
This worried Zhou An a lot. He didn't know who to ask for advice, so he made soup for Xu Zhixia every day.
Xu Zhixia saw all this and couldn't help feeling distressed.
As another heavy snow fell, Xu Zhixia finally finished writing replies to all readers.
Before she could relax, Song Hao came again.
When there was a knock on the door, it was Xu's mother who went to open it.
Xu Zhixia heard a familiar voice and came out of the house.
Now that the first three months have passed, Xu's parents are not as strict with her.
When she saw Song Hao, she showed a look of surprise.
"Song Hao?" She just opened her mouth, her eyes fell on the package next to Song Hao, and the smile on her face froze.
I finally finished replying to all the letters, but now there are so many more coming?
As soon as this thought came into her mind, she dismissed it.
Although she has been writing articles during this period, she hasn't written much, so it probably wasn't sent by the editor.
Song Hao smiled brightly and greeted, "Comrade Xu, Auntie."
"This was sent from Beijing City, and I just happened to deliver it to you."
"I don't know what's inside. It's so heavy."
As I walked along, I attracted a lot of people's attention.
He didn't say the latter part of this sentence, but Xu Zhixia knew it.
Because she saw the aunts who "accidentally" passed by the door.
A hint of helplessness flashed in her eyes, and she thanked Song Hao first.
After seeing Song Hao off, he planned to close the door first and then unpack the package.
A faint murmur sounded: "As expected of a capitalist, he has so many things..."
Xu Zhixia frowned, looked in the direction, and saw Aunt Yuan.
She was unhappy in her heart, but did not show it.
But Aunt Yuan didn't let her go and raised her voice: "Comrade Xu, what's inside this package? Can you show it to everyone?"
Although it was said by everyone, no one else agreed except her.
Are you kidding? They all know that Xu Zhixia is not someone to be trifled with. How could someone so foolish as to approach her at this time?
Little did I know that there really are people who are brainless.
"That's right, it can't be something shameful."
Aunt Sun crossed her arms and said in a sarcastic tone.
Xu Zhixia ignored him, walked over, bent down, and looked at the information on the package.
When she saw the familiar sender's name, she suddenly understood.
He straightened up and gave a faint smile: "Sorry, this is not very convenient."
If you look closely, you'll notice the smile doesn't reach the eyes.
Without waiting for Aunt Yuan and Aunt Sun to question her, she continued, "This was mailed to us by my mother-in-law."
"Look... isn't that a bit inconvenient?"
This was said politely, but it also meant that they were slapped on the face of the two men.
Xu Zhixia showed an embarrassment and sighed helplessly: "I told my mother-in-law that we don't lack anything here."
"I don't know why she sent these things over here. It's really troublesome."
"I'm just... pregnant."
She deliberately dragged out the last word.
She had not forgotten that Aunt Yuan had spread the news that she was infertile.
Hearing this, Aunt Yuan's face suddenly turned ugly.
Xu Zhixia is pregnant? How did she find out just now?
When she turned to look at the others, they all had surprised expressions.
"Comrade Xu is pregnant? Who said she couldn't have children before?"
"What nonsense! Didn't I tell you before that Comrade Xu was here for a regular checkup?"
"Yes, we are not feudal. Going to the hospital for a physical examination is a normal thing."
There was a cacophony of voices, some expressing surprise, some expressing disbelief, but most of them were filled with genuine joy.
Xu Zhixia raised the corner of her mouth, revealing a faint smile: "Thank you, Aunt Yuan, for caring about me so much."
She emphasized the word "care", which sounded very strange.
Aunt Yuan's face looked grim, her gaze fell on Xu Zhixia's belly, and her eyes rolled.
