"Aunt Feng is like this. I can't take care of Ping'an by myself, so I want to ask if you have time..."
Xu Zhixia didn't say the rest of the words, but Aunt Feng immediately understood what she meant.
He was stunned for a moment, then asked hesitantly, "Where is your Uncle Wu?"
Aunt Feng has known Xu Zhixia for so long, so she naturally knows that she will never treat people around her unfairly.
If she goes to help, she will definitely get benefits, but she also has to consider Uncle Wu.
Xu Zhixia pursed her lips, a look of determination flashed in her eyes, and she said, "Something happened at home, so I've already left."
Aunt Feng was a little surprised when she heard this. She wanted to continue asking, but when she saw Xu Zhixia's expression, the rest of her words suddenly stopped and became stuck in her mouth.
Xu Zhixia continued, "Aunt Feng, it's okay if you don't want to come, but you're the first person I can think of."
Looking at Xu Zhixia's sincere eyes, Aunt Feng felt her sincerity and a warmth welled up in her heart.
The corners of her mouth curled up subconsciously, and after thinking for a while, she said firmly: "I am willing, but it's just to take care of two children."
"It's just a matter of convenience. You don't have to compensate me for anything."
Aunt Feng is a smart person. Compared with the things she has in her hands, she thinks it is more useful to have a good relationship with Xu Zhixia.
Because Xu Zhixia's family's status is now different from the past, not to mention that Zhou An has been promoted to the position of group leader, and the future is promising.
Xu Zhixia sensed her sincerity, but quickly spoke up: "Aunt Feng, one thing is another."
"If you don't want my compensation, then I'm embarrassed to come to you."
When Aunt Feng heard this, a hint of helplessness flashed in her eyes. Everyone else was afraid of being at a disadvantage, but Xu Zhixia seemed to be always afraid of others being at a disadvantage.
But she didn't say anything, but she made up her mind that she would not let Xu Zhixia give him her things.
She said, "How about this, let's talk about it later. I'll help you take care of the child for a few days."
"If you think I'm not suitable, you can just say so."
Everyone has their own way of raising children, and conflicts between mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law often arise because of this.
Therefore, Aunt Feng felt that whether she could continue to do this also depended on how Xu Zhixia felt about her.
Xu Zhixia stepped forward with a smile, took Aunt Feng's hand, and felt that she was even more reliable.
"If it's my aunt, then I'll definitely feel relieved."
The two looked at each other and smiled, and the matter was settled.
Just as Xu Zhixia imagined, Aunt Feng is very good at taking care of children.
With her help, Ping Ping An rarely cried and successfully stopped breastfeeding.
It is worth mentioning that Zhou An is going on a mission again. Although he cannot reveal too much, Zhou An also briefly mentioned that this mission will probably take longer.
Xu Zhixia felt disappointed but also understood.
But he didn't expect that Zhou An would be gone for such a long time.
Children change every day and soon they will start to learn to speak.
Watching the interjections coming out of their mouths one after another, Xu Zhixia felt a warmth in his heart.
Her heart felt swollen, as if something was about to break out of the ground. This feeling alleviated her longing for Zhou An.
In addition to writing articles every day, she is also busy with many other things.
Even so, when it comes to the evening, I can't help but think of Zhou An.
Missing him seemed like a breathing pain, always surrounding Xu Zhixia. She wondered every day when Zhou An would come back.
Zhou An's mission this time was longer than any other time. In a blink of an eye, Pingping and Anan were already one year old.
Pingping and Zhou An look very similar, and sometimes Xu Zhixia would stare at Pingping in a daze.
He amused himself by thinking that when Zhou An came back, the children would probably no longer remember him.
When there was a knock on the door, Xu Zhixia had just finished writing the manuscript. A hint of doubt flashed in her eyes. Who could come here at this time?
Thinking this in her mind, she simply got up and walked downstairs.
When she opened the door in front of her and saw the familiar face in front of her, she was stunned and seemed to forget to breathe.
"Xia Xia, I'm back."
Zhou An raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a bright smile.
Although only a year had passed, Zhou An seemed to have aged several years. His once handsome face had become somewhat unfamiliar. His bronze skin had become even darker and rougher.
Xu Zhixia subconsciously covered her mouth, and tears as big as beans flowed down her face, quickly gathering into a small pool on the ground.
There was a flicker of surprise and doubt in her eyes, and she stared at Zhou An in disbelief.
"You still remember to come back?"
Xu Zhixia's voice was trembling.
A hint of guilt flashed in Zhou An's eyes. He walked straight in, closed the door behind him, and hugged Xu Zhixia tightly in his arms.
"Xia Xia, I will never leave again."
Xu Zhixia was stunned for a moment, then slowly pushed Zhou An away, a hint of doubt in her eyes.
"What do you mean?"
Zhou An did not answer immediately, but whispered: "Let's go upstairs and talk first."
Although Xu Zhixia really wanted to know what happened, in the end she felt more sorry for Zhou An.
I boiled some water for Zhou An and asked him to wash up, then I went to the small kitchen to cook him a bowl of noodles.
After Zhou An came out, he ate voraciously and finished the whole bowl of noodles in just a few seconds.
"How long have you not eaten?" Xu Zhixia couldn't help but complain, but the heartache in her tone couldn't be controlled.
Zhou An smiled, but didn't say anything. He paused and explained, "I came back in a hurry."
These words were said lightly, but Xu Zhixia felt that things were not that simple. Maybe...something unexpected happened on the way.
Once this thought appeared in her mind, it stayed there for a long time.
But seeing that Zhou An didn't want to continue talking, she didn't ask any more questions because there were more important things to do at the moment.
The two of them went upstairs, and Xu Zhixia closed the door. Before she could ask, Zhou An spoke directly.
"My last mission was quite difficult, so after completing it, I was given two options: either continue to move up and be transferred to Jing City, or...change career."
Hearing this, Xu Zhixia's pupils suddenly contracted, because she never expected this to be the answer.
"So what do you think?"
After a moment's silence, she asked, looking up into Zhou An's deep eyes.
Zhou An said without hesitation: "Xia Xia, your idea is my idea, so which one do you want me to choose?"
Facing Zhou An's sincere gaze, Xu Zhixia suddenly felt pressured.
An atmosphere of silence spread in the air and no one spoke for a while.
