Doctor Sun returned to Xu Zhixia and placed the package on the table.
He said calmly, "It's not a valuable thing, just consider it a gift from me to you."
Xu Zhixia hesitated for a moment and looked at Zhou An.
Zhou An nodded imperceptibly, and she smiled faintly.
"Then I'll be welcome. Thank you, Doctor Sun."
Seeing her so straightforward, the smile on Doctor Sun's face became much more intense.
He said, "Don't call me Doctor Sun anymore, just call me Uncle Sun."
"I'll write down a few recipes for you to take back so you can eat some to supplement your nutrition."
"One more thing, you are having twins, so you need to be careful..."
He talked incessantly and Zhou An listened attentively.
He stopped talking only when his mouth was dry and he felt unsatisfied.
There was a trace of regret in his eyes. The next time we meet... I don't know when it will be.
Maybe we will never see each other again.
Zhou An and Xu Zhixia didn't know what Doctor Sun was thinking because they had already made a decision in their hearts.
Seeing that it was getting late, he said goodbye to Doctor Sun.
Walking on the path outside, the sun shines on your body, making you feel warm.
Xu Zhixia suddenly said, "Let's take Uncle Sun over."
It was not only because of Doctor Sun's medical skills, but also because she could see that Doctor Sun was not living well here.
I don't want to leave, but I just don't want to burden them.
This happened to be what Zhou An was thinking. He was still thinking about how to tell Xu Zhixia about this, but he didn't expect Xu Zhixia to bring it up on her own initiative.
He nodded in agreement: "I'll arrange it when I get back."
Although Doctor Sun is a Chinese medicine practitioner, it is not a big problem for the troops.
I believe Political Commissar Zhou will also be very happy to have such a capable person.
After Zhou An returned, he started to deal with the matter without stopping.
But it was not as simple as he imagined. After submitting the application to the army, the army also had to investigate Dr. Sun's personal situation.
However, Xu Zhixia didn't know all this, but she believed that Zhou An would handle it.
When she returned home, she gave the recipe given by Dr. Sun to Uncle Wu.
Uncle Wu was very interested in these and hurried to the kitchen to get busy.
Xu Zhixia opened the package that Doctor Sun gave her, and when she saw what was inside, her pupils suddenly contracted.
The package isn't huge, but it's not small either.
There was a ginseng inside. Even if Xu Zhixia didn't know the value of the ginseng, he could tell from the ginseng roots that it must be very old.
When Uncle Wu came out of the small kitchen, he saw this scene.
He said in surprise: "Xia Xia, where did you get this thing? This is a fun thing."
Xu Zhixia raised a helpless smile and briefly told the story of Doctor Sun.
Uncle Wu seemed to be thinking about something: "Then just accept it."
Xu Zhixia hesitated for a moment, then said honestly, "This is too expensive."
Uncle Wu patiently explained, "It's precisely because it's valuable that you should accept it."
He said meaningfully, "Doctor Sun alone can't keep this thing."
Xu Zhixia's eyes flashed with realization, and after realizing this, he said nothing more.
After all, it was Doctor Sun's kindness, and she would just repay him in another way later.
Doctor Sun, whom Xu Zhixia had been thinking about all the time, never came to the island.
But another piece of news caught her off guard.
Looking at Zhou An in front of her, she stood there in a daze.
"Xia Xia, I'm sorry." Zhou An looked apologetic, and all his words turned into one sentence.
If possible, he didn't want to go on a mission when Xu Zhixia was pregnant.
But he is a soldier, and a soldier has his obligations.
Even though it wasn't the first time, Xu Zhixia still found it hard to accept this.
Fortunately, she quickly adjusted her mood and didn't want to make Zhou An worry, so she forced a smile.
"It's okay, go do your thing."
She took Zhou An's hand and placed it on her lower abdomen.
He said firmly: "The children and I will wait for you to come back."
After a pause, he said cautiously, "But if possible, could you send us a message when it's convenient?"
Zhou An didn't say anything, and silence represented the answer.
A hint of disappointment flashed across Xu Zhixia's eyes, but she quickly cheered up.
She suggested with a smile, "How about this, you bring a pen and paper and write down what you want to say to us."
"When you come back, let me see it. That way... you'll be with us."
She spoke the last sentence very softly, but it still reached Zhou An's ears clearly.
Xu Zhixia understood that from the day she chose Zhou An, she had to accept his profession.
If you love someone, you must love everything about him.
Zhou An said nothing and hugged Xu Zhixia in his arms.
This embrace is warm and full of nostalgia.
Zhou An is gone.
When they heard the news, Xu's father and mother accepted it calmly, but at the same time they couldn't help but feel sorry for Xu Zhixia.
Even Uncle Wu comforted her after he found out.
On the contrary, Xu Zhixia herself accepted this matter well.
After all, Zhou An was just going on a mission, he was not going to stay away from coming back.
She had good intentions, but only she knew that she felt uncomfortable facing her other half's cold temperature every late night.
Her longing for Zhou An did not fade with time, but became stronger.
After countless snowfalls, there was still no news of Zhou An.
"Xia Xia, what do you want to eat tonight?"
Uncle Wu's kind voice sounded, and he looked at Xu Zhixia who was sitting by the window.
Ever since Zhou An left, she always stared blankly by the window.
Uncle Wu knew very well that she missed Zhou An and felt even more distressed for her.
Xu Zhixia came back to her senses, smiled faintly, and said coquettishly, "Everything Uncle Wu cooks is delicious."
After a pause, he added, "Can you make a few more when the time comes? I want to send them to Doctor Sun."
Just a week ago, Dr. Sun's materials passed the review and he was officially taken to the island.
He knew that Zhou An had put in a lot of effort in this matter, so he came to thank him immediately, but he only got the news that Zhou An was on a mission.
After thinking for a moment, he suggested coming over to check Xu Zhixia's pulse every three days.
Uncle Wu and others were naturally very welcome to this. Xu Zhixia kept it in mind and would send a portion of whatever he made at home to Doctor Sun.
Uncle Wu readily agreed, told Xu Zhixia to get plenty of rest, and then went to the small kitchen.
As Xu Zhixia got older, she became less and less active.
The curvature of the belly is amazing and scary.
But what surprised Xu Zhixia was that she never had any stretch marks on her stomach, which even Dr. Sun did not expect.
All I can say is that the child in the belly feels sorry for the mother and doesn’t want her to suffer.
Sometimes Xu Zhixia even doubted whether Zhou An would be able to come back when she gave birth.
But as soon as this thought came into her mind, she laughed it off.
The due date is still a long time away, why is she thinking so far ahead?
But...my longing for Zhou An is real.
She missed him.
