A trace of confusion flashed across Xu Zhixia's eyes. She blinked and didn't come back to her senses for a moment.
Until her eyes fell on the snow globe beside the pillow, and she couldn't look away for a long time.
Zhou An is back, and the birthday present he gave her was real.
But... he just left again.
A hint of disappointment flashed in her eyes, but fortunately she quickly came to her senses.
At least she should be thankful that Zhou An spent his birthday with her.
She hadn't told anyone about Zhou An's return.
But looking at Uncle Wu's thoughtful expression, she guessed that Uncle Wu should have guessed it.
However, since Zhou An was most likely on leave, she didn't dare to tell this matter, for fear of causing trouble for Zhou An.
I can only keep it in my heart and hope that he will come back soon.
Before Zhou An received the news that he had completed the task, Xu Zhixia had recently become obsessed with something new.
As the weather grew colder, Xu's mother brought back a bunch of balls of wool from somewhere.
I wanted to knit a sweater, but I didn't have the time at the moment.
Xu Zhixia felt itchy and simply took it.
In her previous life, she had knitted many things for the Gu family.
She thought that since the Chinese New Year was approaching, she could knit a sweater for Zhou's father and mother, and they would definitely like it.
Xu Zhixia is very fast, but she cannot get tired, so her overall speed is not that fast.
But even so, when Zhou An came back, Xu Zhixia had already finished knitting sweaters for Xu's father and mother.
When Zhou An came back, he saw this scene.
"Xia Xia?" A doubtful voice sounded, bringing Xu Zhixia back to his senses.
She looked up and saw Zhou An standing at the door.
A look of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he quickly put down what he was holding.
Without waiting for her to stand up, Zhou An strode to her side.
He half squatted down, looked at her affectionately, and said, "Wife, I miss you so much."
Xu Zhixia was about to say something when she smelled an unpleasant odor in her nose.
He swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue and his face wrinkled.
When Zhou An saw this scene, he was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
Helplessly speaking, "I came back in a hurry, so I'll go pack up now."
After saying that, he turned and walked upstairs.
He walked very fast, and after about half an hour, he came down feeling refreshed.
This time he hugged Xu Zhixia in his arms, and Xu Zhixia did not refuse.
Zhou An's bony hands rested on Xu Zhixia's belly and he asked softly, "Did the child bother you?"
Xu Zhixia shook her head honestly. To be honest, the children have been very well behaved since Zhou An left.
Zhou An's smile grew wider, and he asked a few more questions about Xu Zhixia's recent situation.
His peripheral vision suddenly fell on the ball of yarn in her hand, and a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.
"Is this... knitting?"
When this was mentioned, Xu Zhixia became excited.
She introduced: "The weather has been cold recently, so I want to knit a sweater for my parents."
"Uncle Wu said my parents-in-law like dark colors. What do you think of black and navy blue?"
"I just don't know if their sizes have changed during this period."
"I also prepared a gift for Uncle Wu, but I haven't told him yet, and you can't tell anyone..."
She spoke incessantly, as if it were a serious matter.
Zhou An listened with great interest at first, but later he felt something was increasingly wrong.
Xia Xia said so much, but why did it seem like... she didn't mention him?
Zhou An had a bad feeling in his heart, so he just asked directly.
"Xia Xia, what about me?"
The smile on Xu Zhixia's face suddenly froze, and she showed an embarrassed smile.
He asked flatteringly, "Do you... need it?"
This one sentence made Zhou An laugh out of anger.
So her wife was so thoughtful and had thought of what to give Uncle Wu, but she didn't think of him?
He half-closed his eyes, and his big hands fell on Xu Zhixia's waist, applying a little force as if punishing her.
Xu Zhixia sensed something was wrong and quickly changed her tone: "Of course I prepared it. I just wanted to give you a surprise."
Zhou An could naturally tell whether it was a surprise or an unexpected event.
But...how could he bear to make things difficult for Xu Zhixia?
After a moment of silence, he sighed helplessly.
A hint of determination appeared in his eyes: "Xia Xia, you are really, what else can I do to you?"
Xu Zhixia also heard that Zhou An didn't intend to make a fuss about it, and breathed a sigh of relief without leaving a trace.
Then a feeling of guilt surged in her heart. She shouldn't have thought of Zhou An.
But before she could say anything, Zhou An said, "It's okay if you didn't prepare any for me. The army will give you clothes, so you won't be tired."
Hearing this, Xu Zhixia felt even more guilty.
He quickly changed the subject: "How could I forget about you? I will definitely prepare something for you."
Zhou An raised his eyebrows and took a step back: "It's okay if you don't prepare it for me, it doesn't matter."
Although he said this, the anticipation in his eyes could not be controlled and could be seen.
Xu Zhixia was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. After repeated promises, she let Zhou An let the matter go.
Zhou An didn't take this matter to heart, but Xu Zhixia was different.
After preparing the reserved sweater, she started knitting it for Zhou An.
In just a few days, a freshly baked sweater was completed.
In the evening, when Xu Zhixia took out the sweater, Zhou An couldn't let it go.
"Xia Xia, your profit is really good, better than what is sold outside."
This is definitely not an exaggeration, the main reason is that Xu Zhixia does have this skill.
Compared with those bought outside, not only are the styles newer, but the materials are also stronger.
Seeing that Zhou An liked it, Xu Zhixia visibly breathed a sigh of relief.
The things prepared for Xu's father and mother were delivered to them.
Xu's mother never expected that her daughter had this skill.
At first I thought Xu Zhixia was just curious, but I didn't expect that she could weave it quite well.
And now it looks...really impressive.
Xu's mother couldn't help but sigh: "Xia Xia, how did you know this?"
Xu Zhixia touched the tip of his nose guiltily, his eyes vague as he said, "Maybe he has talent."
Otherwise, you can't say that you learned it in your previous life.
Fortunately, Xu's mother didn't think too much about it. After repeatedly praising her, she skipped the topic.
Xu Zhixia was afraid that Xu's mother would continue asking questions, so she hurried back to the bedroom.
The next day, what was prepared for Uncle Wu was also brought to him.
Uncle Wu's eyes flashed with surprise, and he said in disbelief: "Xia Xia, I have it too?"
Uncle Wu was different from Xu's father and mother. He stayed at home every day, so he naturally knew that Xu Zhixia was knitting sweaters for the elders of both families.
He didn't think much about it at first, but he never imagined that he also had a share.
Xu Zhixia raised the corner of her mouth and revealed a well-behaved smile: "Uncle Wu, you are also my elder."
This simple sentence made Uncle Wu's eyes red and he was speechless for a long time.
