Captain Feng's face changed drastically, but under Zhou An's gaze, he was unable to say a word.
All he could do was to throw down a cruel remark: "Just you wait."
As soon as he finished speaking, he fled away in panic.
Xu Zhixia looked at his back, a sneer curled up at the corner of her mouth: "I really don't know what he is doing here, is it a joke?"
Zhou An did not continue this topic, fearing that it would affect Xu Zhixia's mood.
He whispered, "If this family comes looking for you again, then ask Uncle Wu to go find me in the army."
Xu Zhixia felt a warmth in her heart, and she coquettishly took Zhou An's arm and smiled brightly.
Neither of them took this matter to heart. Even if Captain Feng wanted to settle the score, they were not afraid.
But what they didn't expect was that Captain Feng and Bai Niannian seemed to have no further connection and never harassed them again.
Xu Zhixia did not let down her guard, but felt that they were more like... preparing for a big one.
But soon she had no time to think about these things, because the annual military inspection meeting was about to begin.
Xu Zhixia learned from Zhou An that there was this tradition on the island.
Conducting a comprehensive review before the Chinese New Year is also a summary of a year's training.
In addition to leaders, family members can also participate.
This made Xu Zhixia very interested, and she planned to take her whole family to watch it.
But Zhou An rarely objected.
"Xia Xia, I'll definitely let you go for the military inspection next year, okay?"
A hint of helplessness flashed in Zhou An's eyes, and he advised softly.
Xu Zhixia looked at him straight without saying anything, but her attitude spoke volumes.
In fact, Xu Zhixia knew why Zhou An didn't want her to go.
Because she is now older, her belly looks like a bulging balloon.
Coupled with the recent drop in temperature, the weather outside is getting even colder.
If you accidentally fall when you go out...the consequences will be unimaginable.
During this period, Xu Zhixia just walked around the house and almost never went out.
But this time is different, the military inspection meeting is only held once a year.
She took a deep breath and asked, "This year I'm pregnant, so they don't want me to go."
"So when the baby is born next year, won't I need to stay at home to take care of him?"
Zhou An wanted to blurt out that he could let Uncle Wu take the lead.
But he swallowed the words back when they came to his lips. Not to mention whether Uncle Wu would go back after Xu Zhixia gave birth to the child.
Neither he nor Xu Zhixia were the kind of people who would leave troubles to others alone.
And it is unrealistic to let him take care of the child by himself.
He must participate in the military inspection.
Otherwise, he could really let Xu Zhixia go out and play while he took care of the children at home.
Seeing Zhou An fall silent, Xu Zhixia retreated without moving forward.
She lowered her eyes to hide the disappointment in them, and said, "Forget it, if you're not happy, then I won't go."
Zhou An couldn't bear to see Xu Zhixia like this, and a trace of heartache flashed in his eyes.
In just a few seconds, several thoughts popped into his mind.
Finally, when the dust settled, a hint of determination flashed in his eyes, and he said, "Go."
"But you must stay close to your parents and Uncle Wu and not wander around on your own."
Xu Zhixia raised her eyes, but there was no trace of loneliness on her face.
She gave a sly smile and agreed with a smile.
Zhou An also realized that Xu Zhixia did this on purpose.
But what else can he do? He can only pamper his wife.
After Xu Zhixia told Xu's father and mother about this, they didn't react at all.
After a year of getting along, they have discovered that Xu Zhixia has undergone earth-shaking changes.
So I also believe that Xu Zhixia can make a choice that is responsible for herself.
Xu Zhixia was full of anticipation at the thought of the military inspection meeting, and his appetite had improved a lot during this period.
Time passed quickly in anticipation, and the military inspection meeting was soon here.
Xu Zhixia got up early in the morning. After eating, she couldn't wait to walk to the center of the island with Xu's mother and her group.
It snowed a little yesterday, and she was worried that the roads would be slippery today.
But when I went out, I found that it was just the opposite. It was a sunny day and most of the snow on the road had melted.
Smelling the fresh scent in the air, her mood improved.
There were quite a few aunts on the road, and they were obviously also going to watch the military inspection meeting.
Xu Zhixia also saw an acquaintance.
"Sister Feng!" Her eyes lit up and she greeted her quickly.
She hasn't seen Feng Cuihua since her divorce.
It seems now that she must have had a good time during this period, and her energy and spirit have undergone tremendous changes.
I used to always subconsciously keep my head down and chest hunched, but now I exude an aura of confidence.
Feng Cuihua looked over, the corners of her mouth curled up in a bright smile.
She walked over in two or three steps and stuffed a handful of hot candied chestnuts into Xu Zhixia's hand without saying a word.
He said, "I was just about to look for you, Sister Xu, thanks to you."
She spoke in a clear and melodious voice, without any hint of dialect anymore.
After she divorced Captain Feng, she went to attend Xu's mother's literacy class.
In just one month, there has been tremendous progress.
Because she also has a goal, she wants to be someone like Xu Zhixia and Tao Shengnan.
But there is no need to say such things.
Xu Zhixia's smile became even sweeter, and she didn't bother to be polite with her.
Just peel one and put it in your mouth.
The soft and sticky taste accompanied by sweetness spread in her mouth, making her half-close her eyes in comfort.
"It's delicious." She praised it without hesitation.
Feng Cuihua said without hesitation: "If you like, I'll fry some for you and send it back."
Xu Zhixia looked at Feng Cuihua pitifully: "Sister Feng, that won't work. I can't eat too much sweet food right now."
"I'll have to trouble you after I unload the goods."
Unloading? This word is novel, but also appropriate.
Feng Cuihua was amused and said, "Okay, after you unload the goods, you must come to my house for dinner."
Xu Zhixia agreed, and the two of them chatted and laughed happily.
"Sister Feng, when do you plan to bring Zhaodi over?"
Zhaodi is Feng Cuihua's daughter. They said they would take her in, but there has been no news since then.
When mentioning this, a hint of loneliness flashed in Feng Cuihua's eyes.
"I guess we'll have to wait until after the New Year."
After a pause, she continued, "There are a lot of people coming and going during this period, and I'm worried about her taking the train alone."
"I just found a job, and it's not convenient for me to take leave to go back."
Xu Zhixia pursed her lips and nodded.
She didn't ask why Captain Feng's family didn't send the child over. When she thought of Captain Feng, she knew that there were probably no good people in his family.
In order to prevent Feng Cuihua from thinking too much, she smiled and changed the subject: "Then you have to save money and tickets, and when Xiao Zhaodi comes, buy her a new set of clothes first."
When talking about her daughter, Feng Cuihua's smile was more genuine: "That's how it should be."
Her daughter Zhaodi has never worn new clothes since she was born.
