Chapter 142 New Year
What do you think? Xu Zhixia didn’t feel good at all. How could it be better than home?
Thinking of this, she lowered her voice and said, "Mom, I think it's better to stay at home. Bai Niannian won't do anything to me."
"Besides, I'm usually at home. Is it possible for her to come to my house?"
This is the truth, but Zhou's mother is still a little worried.
However, seeing Xu Zhixia's persistence, he hesitated for a moment and did not continue the topic.
Just like Xu Zhixia said, they might have other things happening outside, and it might be worse than being in the army.
Although they comforted themselves in this way, they were still worried.
But what no one expected was that Bai Niannian and Captain Feng just calmed down like that, as if nothing had happened.
Xu Zhixia and her family gradually put this matter behind them, because the New Year was coming soon, and this was the first New Year that Xu Zhixia and her family had spent on the island.
Originally, Zhou's mother wanted to go back, but she was having so much fun on the island that she didn't want to leave.
I said goodbye to Zhou's father and stayed here.
It's much more interesting to have Xu Zhixia and Xu's mother here than at home.
A month in advance, the two started preparing early.
Although open buying and selling is not allowed now, there are still many private exchanges.
Especially Zhou's mother, who didn't know where she got the money from, but she actually exchanged half a sheep.
Xu Zhixia was very interested in this and was looking forward to it.
When Zhou's mother found out, she didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She said, "Xia Xia, just tell me what you want to eat. We don't have to wait until the New Year."
Xu Zhixia touched the tip of her nose embarrassedly and smiled obediently.
That night, I ate the mutton hotpot I had been longing for.
Uncle Wu's cooking skills are as good as ever. He put cabbage and radish into the stewed mutton, which tasted fragrant and refreshing without any smell of mutton.
Xu Zhixia ate two bowls in a row until her mother Xu and mother Zhou were worried that she had indigestion, so they stopped reluctantly.
The New Year has arrived in a blink of an eye. Perhaps God is kind to us. It snowed heavily the day before yesterday and the sun was shining brightly the next day.
As soon as Xu Zhixia went downstairs, she smelled the aroma of frying coming from the small kitchen.
Her eyes lit up immediately and she trotted to the kitchen. Before she could say anything, Uncle Wu brought her a spring roll.
She put it in her mouth without hesitation. The slightly hot taste made her open her mouth, but she was reluctant to spit it out.
The sweetness of red beans spreads in the mouth, making people close their eyes comfortably.
Although the Xu family was well off, they rarely fried food.
"Uncle Wu, your cooking skills are getting better and better." She exclaimed sincerely.
Uncle Wu smiled, his expression softening.
Pointing to a plate next to him, he said, "Take it out and eat slowly."
The smile on Xu Zhixia's face became even sweeter, and she brought it out without hesitation.
A few days ago, Haohao was picked up by Jiang Hanzhi, who said he was going back to his hometown to celebrate the New Year.
Xu Zhixia understood very well, but still felt a little regretful that she couldn't spend this New Year with Haohao.
Just as she was lost in her own thoughts, Zhou An strode in from outside.
She raised her head, a glint of admiration in her eyes.
Xu Zhixia only admires Zhou An, who continues to exercise even though he is on vacation.
Zhou An didn't know what she was thinking, but he could guess a little from her expression.
A look of helplessness appeared on his face as he walked towards her.
"You can't eat too much, otherwise you'll have indigestion again."
Zhou An instructed in a gentle tone.
He did not forget that some time ago, Xu Zhixia had a stomachache in the middle of the night while eating stewed beef, which scared him.
Apparently Xu Zhixia had also thought of this, and a blush rose on her face, making her look extremely charming.
She murmured dissatisfiedly: "It was just an accident. Didn't we agree not to mention it?"
Afraid that Zhou An would continue talking, she changed the subject: "Zhou An, how about we go out and build a snowman?"
Zhou An looked hesitant, but still nodded under Xu Zhixia's expectant gaze.
In fact, he didn't want to agree because Xu Zhixia's belly was already very big.
If you accidentally fall, it will be a troublesome thing.
But thinking of the last time Xu Zhixia unilaterally gave him the cold war, he swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
Anyway, with him watching, nothing unexpected would happen. A sensible man would not contradict his wife.
Fortunately, Xu Zhixia knew her limits, and the two of them started piling things up enthusiastically as soon as they arrived at the courtyard.
They said they were working together, but in fact, Xu Zhixia was directing from the side, and Zhou An was working alone.
Zhou An, who is usually omnipotent, was unusually clumsy, and the snowball he rolled out turned into a triangle.
Xu Zhixia was not angry either, and smiled with her eyes curved.
"Captain Zhou, I didn't expect there are things you're not good at."
She couldn't help but joke, her eyes falling on Zhou An.
Zhou An was not annoyed and showed a faint smile.
"Did you have fun?"
Looking at the strange-looking snowman in front of him, Xu Zhixia hesitated for a moment and nodded slowly.
Zhou An continued: "It's getting late, let's go in first, it should be time for dinner soon."
The custom here is to eat two meals during the New Year: one in the morning and one at midnight.
However, Xu Zhixia's conditions are special, so he naturally eats whenever he is hungry.
Hearing that the army had an activity today, Xu Zhixia was very interested and wanted to go and see it.
But she was stopped by Xu's mother and Zhou's mother, because they still feel guilty about what happened to Bai Niannian.
Xu Zhixia felt sorry, but did not insist.
It’s the New Year, there’s no need to make your family worry.
After discussing it, the family decided to play poker at home.
But after a while, Xu Zhixia felt sleepy and started to breathe heavily.
Zhou An sent her upstairs for a nap. After seeing her lie down, he thought for a while and then lay down beside her.
Xu Zhixia couldn't help but jokingly said, "Captain Zhou actually has time to rest?"
Zhou An hugged her and whispered, "Xia Xia, when I'm with you, I want to rest all the time."
He emphasized the word "rest" specifically, giving the sentence a hint of ambiguity.
Xu Zhixia's face was as red as a cooked shrimp.
I quickly turned my back, closed my eyes and pretended to sleep, but I didn't expect that I would actually fall asleep while pretending.
When I opened my eyes again, the sun was about to set.
"Are you awake? Do you want to go downstairs and get something to eat?"
A magnetic voice sounded, and Xu Zhixia turned around and met Zhou An's deep eyes.
She thought about it and nodded.
When they went downstairs, they found that Uncle Wu had already prepared the meal.
There are all kinds of delicious food on the table, which will whet your appetite.
Uncle Wu heard the sound and looked over.
Showing a kind smile: "Xia Xia is awake, do you want to cook dumplings now?"
