"Comrade Xu, I see your belly isn't big yet, I guess it's a girl!"
Aunt Yuan said in a sarcastic tone that she had no good intentions.
"Girls are good. Girls know how to care for others."
"Look at the way you look now, you don't even look like you're pregnant."
These words sounded sour, and the jealousy could not be controlled.
When she was pregnant, her husband felt annoyed every time he looked at her and wanted to avoid her.
Unlike Xu Zhixia, she doesn't look ugly when she is pregnant, but becomes even more...beautiful and charming.
Even though Aunt Yuan was reluctant, she had to admit it.
Xu Zhixia raised her eyebrows and said meaningfully, "Aunt Yuan, how do you know that my husband likes girls?"
"See these things? They were sent to me by my mother-in-law."
"She told me it doesn't matter if it's a boy or a girl, as long as I'm happy."
After these words were spoken, everyone felt envious from the bottom of their hearts.
Who here hasn’t had conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law? Who hasn’t been urged to have a baby by their family after getting married?
People like Xu Zhixia... are really rare.
Aunt Yuan was indignant. When she wanted to say something, she met Zhou An's cold gaze and swallowed the words back.
It sounds nice, but it doesn't matter whether the baby is a boy or a girl.
When the baby is born, Xu Zhixia will cry!
"Everyone, my family's about to eat. How about you all stay and eat?"
Xu Zhixia spoke with a smile, interrupting everyone's thoughts.
They looked at each other and found reasons to leave at the same time.
Just kidding, they are not stupid, how could they not understand the hidden meaning of Xu Zhixia's words.
Besides, they couldn't wait to go back and gossip about Xu Zhixia's pregnancy to everyone they knew.
Xu Zhixia's concealment was so profound that it was beyond imagination.
Xu Zhixia's good mood was ruined a lot because of the arrival of Aunt Yuan and her group.
Waiting for everyone to leave, she sat in the yard and sulked.
Zhou An came over and said softly, "If you don't like them, why don't you stay at my parents' for a few days?"
Xu Zhixia refused without hesitation: "Forget it, it would be bad to disturb my parents-in-law."
She would rather stay here than go to Beijing.
In fact, Zhou An didn't really want her to leave, so when he heard her say that, he didn't mention it again.
Changing the subject, he said, "Don't you want to see what was sent in the mail from home?"
This sentence brought Xu Zhixia back to her senses and made her focus on the package.
He instructed Zhou An to take the package and opened it with great interest.
As soon as she opened it, Xu's mother was surprised and said, "What a generous mother-in-law."
Because placed on the top was a row of malted milk and various canned foods.
You can't buy this just by having money. You have to exchange these tickets with others.
Xu Zhixia was also stunned, and a warm feeling surged in her heart.
Her eyes fell on a letter at the edge, she picked it up, opened it and read it quickly.
Zhou's mother cares more about her health than her child.
Of the things sent over, only a few were given to the children, and most were given to her.
Tell her not to save money and just ask them directly for what she needs.
The way she gave him such instructions seemed as if she was afraid that Zhou An would treat her unfairly.
Xu Zhixia was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, and found it extremely amusing.
She noticed another point, which Zhou's mother mentioned in the letter, hoping Xu's mother could go and take care of her.
Didn’t the Zhou family know that her parents had already come to the island?
She looked at Zhou An and gave him a puzzled look.
Zhou An lowered his voice and said, "I'll explain it to you when I get back."
Xu Zhixia nodded, indicating that she understood.
In addition to food, the package also contained a large bundle of brightly colored cloth.
Mother Xu couldn't let it go, holding it in her hand and saying, "It's just right, the material feels comfortable to the touch, I'll make some clothes for Xia Xia later."
Xu Zhixia replied with a smile: "Then I'm waiting. I just feel like I have nothing to wear recently."
Xu's mother glared at her helplessly. Zhou An was still here, and she said she had no clothes to wear. What was going on?
Xu Zhixia returned a bright smile, as if she didn't understand what Xu's mother meant.
At night, back in the bedroom, Xu Zhixia thought about what happened during the day.
She asked, "Why did Mom say that in the letter?"
Zhou An touched the tip of his nose and said guiltily: "I forgot to tell my parents that they moved to the island."
“I was afraid they would feel uncomfortable if they knew, so…”
The rest of the words were not spoken, but the meaning was self-evident.
Xu Zhixia was a little surprised. She didn't expect that Zhou An, who had always been a straight man, would be so thoughtful.
A faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she kissed Zhou An on the face.
She is very lucky to have such a lover.
But soon Xu Zhixia no longer thought so, because Zhou An gradually became weird.
Looking at Zhou An sleeping with his back to her, she fell into deep thought.
Zhou An has been like this for the past half month.
She didn’t know if it was her illusion, but Zhou An seemed to be reducing physical contact with her.
It seems like...something is being hidden from her.
Xu Zhixia told herself that she might be overthinking it because she was pregnant.
But once this thought came into her mind, it took a long time to disappear.
After a sleepless night, Xu Zhixia woke up the next day when she heard a little noise around her.
Noticing the movement over here, Zhou An turned around and asked in surprise: "Xia Xia? Didn't you sleep well last night?"
Xu Zhixia pursed her lips, turned her back and said nothing.
If it were usual, Zhou An would have continued asking.
But he just paused and continued to put on his clothes.
Xu Zhixia felt a pain in her heart and her pupils suddenly contracted.
As expected, men will always change, right?
She forced herself not to think about it anymore, but she still couldn't fall asleep.
I dragged my tired body up and went downstairs, and just then I saw Xu's mother coming to clean the house.
"Just got up?" Mother Xu frowned: "Xia Xia, I'm not saying anything bad, but you've been looking less and less good lately."
Xu Zhixia felt uncomfortable, but she didn't show it.
He responded in a low voice, sat down at the dining table, picked up the bowl of soy milk and took a sip.
"I heard from Zhou An that you recently..."
Before she could finish her words, Xu Zhixia interrupted her: "Mom."
"I want to eat brown sugar eggs."
Xu's mother didn't notice anything unusual about Xu Zhixia. She complained a few words and went to the kitchen to prepare something for her.
So wrong, a dark light flashed in her eyes.
By the evening, Zhou An took a shower and prepared to go to bed.
Xu Zhixia suddenly called him: "Zhou An, let's talk."
A hint of doubt flashed in Zhou An's eyes, and he realized that something was wrong with Xu Zhixia.
He jokingly said, "Now? We have training tomorrow, or wait..."
Before he could finish the rest of his words, Xu Zhixia interrupted him: "I'm talking about now."
Zhou An was stunned and the atmosphere became weird.
