Chapter 111 Bringing my son to apologize
Xu Zhixia pursed her lips, knowing that Zhou An would not back down, so she had to change the subject.
"How's it going over there?"
No names were mentioned, but Zhou An understood that they were referring to the Yuan family.
Zhou An lowered his eyes, hiding his thoughts.
"It has been handled. Political Commissar Zhou has given the Yuan family the punishment they deserve in the army."
As for what I will face after leaving the army...that is a matter for the future.
Thinking of this, a dark light flashed in his eyes.
Xu Zhixia held her breath, but she didn't want to dwell on this issue right now.
In her two lifetimes, she had never met such a disgusting pair of grandparents and grandchildren as the Yuan family.
Zhou An saw that she was holding her breath and said softly, "I'll go see Mom tomorrow."
"There shouldn't be any major issues on Mom's side. She also needs to be properly cared for."
Xu Zhixia came back to his senses, a hint of worry flashed in his eyes, and he advised: "You still have training tomorrow, go back and rest first, I can do it myself."
The reason why she asked to go home was because she considered it inconvenient for Zhou An to travel.
Zhou An smiled and tucked the corner of the quilt for her: "Don't worry about these things, I already have an idea."
At night, Xu's father came to keep watch, so Zhou An left first.
But he did not go home, but returned to Political Commissar Zhou's office again.
I borrowed a phone and called home directly.
Not long after, the phone was picked up, and a serious voice came from the other end: "Hello."
Zhou An greeted, "Dad."
Father Zhou paused, then asked directly, "How is Comrade Xu now?"
When he learned from his daughter-in-law that his youngest daughter-in-law was pregnant, he was naturally happy.
If it weren't for something important, he would have asked his wife for leave to go and have a look.
This is the first child of Zhou An's generation.
A hint of coldness flashed in Zhou An's eyes, and he simply explained the whole story of the Yuan family.
Hearing the sneer, Father Zhou said in a furious tone, "How dare you touch anyone from our Zhou family?"
Zhou An said: "Dad, I have already made a plan, you don't have to worry about this matter."
"Xia Xia and my mother-in-law both need someone to take care of them. Could you lend me Uncle Wu first?"
Father Zhou said decisively: "I will buy him a ticket tonight."
Hearing this, Zhou An visibly breathed a sigh of relief.
The father and son didn't usually get along, so after getting to the point, they hung up the phone.
But he didn't leave, instead he made another call.
This time it took a long time for the other party to pick up the phone.
"Hello." A hoarse male voice sounded old.
Zhou An said directly: "Xuzi, it's me. I remember you transferred to Yun County?"
"Brother Zhou? How come you have time to come to see me today?" A teasing voice came.
Zhou An's expression softened, and he said, "I need your help with something..."
Xu Zhixia didn't know that Zhou An was busy because of her.
She was just worried. She had to stay in the infirmary for a few days, and Xu's mother was also in the hospital. How could Zhou An and Xu's father handle it?
But when she told Xu's father that she wanted to go home to recuperate, he strongly opposed it.
"Xia Xia, you don't have to worry about this. I can handle it."
He said seriously: "Let Zhou An go about his business. I'm still young and can take good care of you."
After a pause, he feigned anger and said, "Or do you not trust me?"
Xu Zhixia didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but she saw his persistence and said nothing more.
But I felt worried in my heart. What if her father exhausted himself again in taking care of her?
As Xu Zhixia expected, Xu's father was no longer young.
I yawned constantly in the second half of the night and had to force myself not to fall asleep.
The next day, there was a dark circle under his eyes and he looked listless.
Xu Zhixia felt distressed and repeatedly urged him to take a nap before he agreed.
But I couldn't sleep well even leaning on the bed.
When Zhou An brought his meal from the cafeteria, he saw this scene.
Xu Zhixia made a hushing gesture, and a hint of understanding flashed in his eyes.
He carefully placed the iron lunch box on the small table beside him.
Even so, Mr. Xu was awakened, and Zhou An paused.
Xu Zhixia said helplessly: "Dad, Zhou An is here, you should eat and go back to sleep for a while."
Zhou An echoed: "Dad, go back and have a good rest. You don't have to take care of Xia Xia in the afternoon."
Father Xu frowned and said disapprovingly, "How can this be possible?"
"Zhou An, go and do your own thing. I'm here...that's all."
Halfway through his speech, he yawned again and tears welled up in the corners of his eyes.
When Xu Zhixia wanted to continue to persuade him, Zhou An suddenly said, "Dad, I have found someone to help."
A hint of doubt flashed in Father Xu's eyes. Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he lowered his voice and asked, "Is it someone from outside?"
"That won't do. Our current identities are already very sensitive..."
Father Xu knew that Father and Mother Zhou were both very busy and would not have time to come.
There is only one possibility... to hire someone from outside.
But the Xu family already had a reputation as a capitalist, and if other people knew about it, it would definitely be troublesome.
Seeing that Xu's father misunderstood, Zhou An explained: "He is an uncle of mine. He has lived in my house for decades. He has no children and usually lives with my parents."
Although it was said tactfully, Father Xu also heard it, and a hint of understanding flashed in his eyes.
Since he has lived here for decades, he must be very reliable and won't talk nonsense outside.
He then breathed a sigh of relief, waved his hand, and went back to sleep without even eating.
After Xu's father left, Zhou An opened the lunch box.
There are one meat and one vegetable dish, braised pork and stewed tofu.
Although the canteen chef’s cooking skills are good, the big pot dishes are still big pot dishes after all, and the taste is only average.
Xu Zhixia wouldn't care under normal circumstances, but now she is pregnant and she has no appetite at all when she looks at the food in the lunch box.
Zhou An felt distressed when he saw her troubled expression.
She whispered, "Just eat something first, I'll go back and cook noodles for you."
Xu Zhixia shook her head and forced a smile: "No, I'll just eat this."
The infirmary is not close to home, and Zhou An’s lunch break is gone by the trip.
She was reluctant to make Zhou An suffer too much.
She took two bites of her chopsticks, but she couldn't eat anymore.
Just as I was thinking about what to say, there was a knock on the door.
A hint of doubt flashed in Xu Zhixia's eyes and she looked at Zhou An.
Before Zhou An could say anything, the door was suddenly pushed open and an acquaintance came in.
Zhou An's face suddenly turned cold and he stood in front of Xu Zhixia.
"Captain Yuan, what brings you here?"
Captain Yuan came with victory and a big bag of things in his hand.
With a flattering smile on his face, he ignored Zhou An's hostility and walked straight in.
He said, "Captain Zhou, we are all from the same unit, why are you being so unkind?"
"I brought my son here today to apologize to my brother and sister-in-law."
