Xu Zhixia was also thinking about this question at this time. Looking at the other empty room, she fell into thought.
Because the house was allocated later, Zhou An asked someone to help him buy a temporary bed.
The other party probably didn't think much about it and just prepared one bed.
Not to mention whether she will live with Zhou An tonight, what will Haohao do?
Thinking of this, she felt a little regretful and could only hope that the supply and marketing cooperative on the island had these things.
But the most important thing right now is to take a good wash.
After being on the train for so long, she felt like she smelled bad all over.
Glancing at Haohao beside her, she half-knelt down and said, "Sister is going to take a shower now. Can Haohao rest in the room first?"
"Wait for that brother to come back and let him take you to wash."
Haohao nodded obediently, sat down on the stool, and stared at his fingers in a daze.
Xu Zhixia sighed helplessly, hoping to find his parents soon.
When she came out of the shower, Zhou An brought the food back.
Xu Zhixia wiped her wet hair, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.
I thought supplies would be scarce on the island, but I didn't expect food to be quite abundant.
One serving of braised pork, one serving of braised shrimp, and stir-fried cabbage.
"Take Haohao with you to wash up, and then we'll eat."
She spoke without hesitation, Zhou An nodded, and went to find Haohao.
During this time, she cleaned the house and wiped away the dust.
After doing all this, Zhou An and Haohao had finished washing.
Are all men this fast? Xu Zhixia was powerless to complain.
She was tired after the journey and didn't want to say anything more, so she invited Zhou An to come for dinner.
The cooking skills of the chefs in the army canteen are very good, comparable to those in state-owned restaurants in Beijing.
She suddenly thought of something and said, "By the way, do I need a ticket for this dish?"
Zhou An answered honestly: "Yes, but it's less than what's available outside."
"My monthly allowance is enough for... the three of us."
He paused in the middle of his words before remembering that he still had a child.
If he and Xu Zhixia have children in the future...the three of them will be enough.
Thinking of this, his eyes wandered to the side.
Xu Zhixia didn't notice his abnormality and was lost in her own thoughts.
Not to mention the things in her space, which were worth quite a bit of money, she still had two thousand yuan in cash on her hands.
But at this juncture, it is better not to move and it is more appropriate to find a job.
After all, her identity... Even if Zhou An is an officer, he should try not to cause trouble.
But what could she do? She felt overwhelmed.
"If I want to find a job, will there be any suitable one on the island?"
Xu Zhixia didn't know much about the island, so she just asked directly.
Zhou An hesitated for a moment and said, "As for work, if you apply, they will arrange it for you, but you need to wait."
"Because the jobs are fixed, there are quite a few wives of soldiers accompanying the troops."
He said it very tactfully, but Xu Zhixia still understood what he meant.
In principle, arrangements will be made from above, but it is not certain when they will be made.
A trace of pity flashed in her eyes, and she gave up the idea.
The most important thing right now is to get familiar with the island. We can talk about other things in two days.
After dinner, Zhou An took the initiative to wash the dishes.
When he came back, he was holding a palm-sized box in his hand.
Xu Zhixia was a little confused, but before she could ask, Zhou An handed the box to her.
She took it and opened it, her pupils suddenly contracted when she saw what was inside.
Inside was a stack of big unity notes and many other tickets, which together were as thick as two books.
Such a family fortune cannot be underestimated even if it is placed outside.
"What are you going to do with this?" Xu Zhixia had a bold guess in his mind, but he still found it a little unbelievable.
Zhou An pursed his lips and confessed honestly: "These are all my savings, and now I give them to you."
Xu Zhixia said blankly: "But we..."
The rest of the words were not spoken, but the meaning was self-evident.
Zhou An said seriously: "Then I want to give these to you too."
“This is something I’ve always wanted to do over the years.”
The box in his hand was not heavy, but it felt as heavy as a thousand pounds to Xu Zhixia.
She took a deep breath, and finally did not refuse, but accepted it.
"I'll find a place to put it later, and you can check it at any time. I'll also tell you every penny I spent."
After a pause, he added: "If you regret it, you can always take it back."
Zhou An's eyes were deep, and he said with certainty: "I can't."
Will he not take it back? Or will he not regret it? Xu Zhixia didn't know.
Under Zhou An's gaze, she fled back to the bedroom.
Putting the box under the bed, she held her chest, feeling her heartbeat, still a little dazed.
Only then did she clearly realize that she was married.
By the time she went out, she had calmed down, but she still unconsciously avoided Zhou An's sight.
"Can you take me to the supply and marketing cooperative? I think I need to buy some things."
Zhou An responded in a low voice, his eyes falling on Haohao.
"Do you want to take him with you?"
Xu Zhixia was a little hesitant. She was worried about leaving such a big child alone in the room.
But the journey is tiring enough, and Haohao should have a good rest.
Just when she was hesitating, Haohao seemed to have noticed her thoughts.
He asked cautiously: "Haohao is not tired, can Haohao come with us?"
Xu Zhixia was a little hesitant, but couldn't make a decision.
Zhou An suddenly moved. He held Haohao in his arms and said, "Don't worry about whether he is tired or not. I am here."
It's a simple sentence, but it makes people feel particularly at ease.
Xu Zhixia blinked, and when she reacted, Zhou An had already extended a hand towards her.
She hesitated, then held his hand.
Feeling the warmth from her palm, her face felt a little hot.
Being together like this gave her the feeling of being a family of three.
Because it was the army's training time, we didn't meet many people along the way.
Arriving at the supply and marketing cooperative and looking at the small house in front of him, Xu Zhixia had a new understanding of the concept of small.
But after entering, it was much better than she had imagined.
Although small, it has everything you need.
She raised her eyes and met Aunt Zhao's gossipy gaze.
Aunt Zhao smiled brightly: "Oh, you are Captain Zhou's lover? You are really beautiful."
"I'm the salesperson here, you can just call me Aunt Zhao."
Xu Zhixia smiled sweetly, "Aunt Zhao."
"I want to buy two quilts. Do you have any here?"
Although she had no hope, she still asked.
Hearing her say this, Aunt Zhao showed a strange expression and her eyes wandered between her and Zhou An.
Seeing the child in Zhou An's arms, she asked tentatively: "Didn't you just file for marriage? This child..."
