Chapter 35 Foreign Books
Xu Zhixia hesitated to speak, and all his words turned into a sigh.
"Come in first." She moved slightly sideways to make way.
Logically speaking, in order to prevent rumors, she shouldn't let Jiang Hanzhi into the house.
But seeing the fatigue in Jiang Hanzhi's eyes, she couldn't bear to let him stand there like that.
I just relaxed and let him in.
Then the door of the courtyard was opened wide, and people outside could see what was happening in the courtyard by just glancing inside.
Xu Zhixia put Haohao down and went to the kitchen to pour them two glasses of water.
Haohao held the cup and drank it in small sips, but Jiang Hanzhi drank it all in one breath and then looked at her eagerly.
She felt helpless and could only continue to fill Jiang Hanzhi's glass.
After drinking several cups in a row, Jiang Hanzhi finally stopped, as if he had come back to life.
Xu Zhixia couldn't help but complain: "You look like you just escaped from famine."
Jiang Hanzhi scratched his head embarrassedly and explained, "Sister-in-law, you don't know how nervous I was all the way here."
He pointed to the package at his feet and chuckled: "I brought you something good."
This aroused Xu Zhixia's curiosity, and she asked, "What is this?"
Jiang Hanzhi said: "It's not worth much."
After a pause, he added: "But it should be quite useful to you."
"I heard Brother Zhou say you wanted these, so I brought them back home specially for you."
He lowered his voice: "But don't let outsiders see it."
A bold guess came to Xu Zhixia's mind, but it was still a little unbelievable.
After all, she had never told anyone that she needed books.
A complicated look flashed in her eyes, and she put the thought behind her for the moment.
It doesn't necessarily have to be a book. What if she misunderstood?
Her thoughts returned, her eyes fell on Haohao, and she whispered, "Haohao, the puzzle piece you didn't put together last time is still in the room. Do you want to go and take a look?"
Haohao hesitated for a moment, but still ran into the house in small steps.
Only after watching Haohao's figure disappear did she retract her gaze and look at Jiang Hanzhi.
Lowering his voice, he asked, "How's Haohao?"
Jiang Hanzhi had just noticed that Xu Zhixia had deliberately sent Haohao away, so he was not surprised that she asked about this.
A gloomy look appeared on his face: "The doctor said that Haohao's condition can only be taken good care of."
Xu Zhixia opened her eyes wide in disbelief: "The doctor told me to keep him, so why did you bring him back?"
The conditions outside must be better than on the island. Besides, Jiang Hanzhi is not very old, so how can he take good care of Haohao?
Jiang Hanzhi's face turned bitter: "Isn't this the little ancestor who wants to come back?"
Looking at his sad face, the reason is self-evident.
Xu Zhixia felt a little guilty and changed the subject: "What will you do when you go on missions in the future?"
Jiang Hanzhi raised the corner of his mouth, revealing a bright smile, and his eyes fell straight on her.
Good, it looks like she knows.
Xu Zhixia had a numb expression on her face, and saw through Jiang Hanzhi's plan.
At this moment, footsteps sounded. She looked over and saw Zhou An coming back.
When he saw Jiang Hanzhi, he nodded slightly as a greeting.
Jiang Hanzhi stood up tactfully: "Brother Zhou, sister-in-law, I won't disturb you anymore."
"I'm so tired after sitting on the train for so long. I'm going to go back and rest first. Haohao will..."
He stopped mid-sentence and looked at Xu Zhixia eagerly.
Xu Zhixia waved her hands helplessly: "Haohao, just stay."
Jiang Hanzhi grinned, went to the inner room to give Haohao a few words of advice, and then strode away.
Looking at Haohao playing quietly in the house, Zhou An didn't seem surprised.
Xu Zhixia walked up to him, pulled his sleeve, and asked in a low voice: "Have you told others what I want?"
Zhou An's eyes flashed with an unnatural look, but he explained honestly: "I saw you go to the garbage dump last time and said you wanted those textbooks, so I mentioned it to my comrades."
After a pause, he added, "In the name of my desire to continue to improve."
If it was Xu Zhixia who wanted it, it might not be spread out in such a way.
It would be better if he stepped forward and took over this matter.
Xu Zhixia didn't expect Zhou An to be so thoughtful that he even thought of such details.
A warm feeling welled up in her heart and she smiled faintly.
When he met her gaze, Zhou An felt even more uncomfortable.
But he was reluctant to leave and stood there stiffly like a piece of wood.
Xu Zhixia took a step forward, stood on tiptoe and touched Zhou An's face lightly: "Thank you."
Zhou An's mind went blank and he almost forgot to breathe.
Although this was not the first time he had close contact with Xu Zhixia, this time was completely different because Xu Zhixia was sober.
His breathing became rapid and he felt like he had been hit by a big surprise.
He didn't come back to his senses for a long time and let Xu Zhixia order him around.
It was not until he helped Xu Zhixia carry a large package left by Jiang Hanzhi upstairs and saw the door suddenly slam shut in front of him that he reacted.
His eyes were burning, as if he wanted to see through the door.
I don’t know when...he will be able to move in.
Xu Zhixia had no idea what Zhou An was thinking. She was busy unpacking the package Jiang Hanzhi had brought back for her.
After opening it and looking at the pile of sub-books inside, she felt that it was as she expected.
After flipping through it a bit, she felt a little surprised.
No wonder Jiang Hanzhi said it was best not to let others see it, because there were many foreign dictionaries and books in it.
If she was discovered by others, even if she wasn't arrested, it would still be a troublesome matter.
With Jiang Hanzhi's brain, he probably didn't think of this when he brought these out.
Xu Zhixia was somewhat helpless. After leaving one book behind, he simply stuffed the other books into the space.
Only space is a foolproof place where she can feel completely at ease.
Because of her education since childhood, she is not unfamiliar with foreign languages.
It's just that I haven't touched it for a long time, so it's a little unfamiliar.
Looking at the book left behind, she gradually recalled her previous knowledge and became fascinated by it unknowingly.
By the time I put the book down, it was already early morning.
She quickly turned off the light and lay down to sleep.
Perhaps because Haohao came back, she slept particularly soundly tonight.
When I woke up the next day and saw Haohao sitting at the table, I smiled sincerely.
When Haohao saw her eyes light up, he quickly ran over and hugged her legs.
Xu Zhixia's heart softened. She half-knelt down and softly soothed him, "Haohao, eat first, and then come with me to class after dinner, okay?"
Before Haohao was taken away, he had gone to class with her, so he was not unfamiliar with this.
He nodded obediently and went back to the table to eat.
When he had almost finished eating, Xu Zhixia simply cleaned up the dishes and took him to school.
When she was still some distance away from the door, she saw Zhuzi's mother and Zhuzi standing at the door.
The pillar's arms were wrapped tightly, as if... they had been broken.
