Zhou An was stunned. He didn't expect Xu Zhixia to be so considerate, and a feeling of jealousy welled up in his heart.
But he didn't show it, and the natural result was: "I know."
"But they don't like mooncakes, so I can just give them half."
He said it seriously, as if it really was the case.
Although Xu Zhixia felt puzzled, she did not doubt his words.
He nodded and continued, "Just make the arrangements as you see fit."
"Come back early in the evening."
As she said this, her earlobes turned a little red, looking very pretty.
Zhou An couldn't help but look at it twice more before leaving reluctantly.
Crabs are best eaten in their original flavor. After a little thought, Xu Zhixia decided to steam them.
However, delicious ingredients still need to be paired with suitable dipping sauces.
But you can wait until evening to adjust it. The most important thing right now is to prepare the crabs first.
Otherwise, if it is left out in this weather for an afternoon, it will go bad by the evening.
Just when Xu Zhixia was busy, Zhou An also returned to the army.
As he walked along, many people saw the bag he was carrying and were puzzled.
Didn't Captain Zhou send the apples home? Why did he bring them back?
Could it be that... I made my sister-in-law angry?
Once this thought appeared in their minds, it stayed there for a long time.
They all followed behind him, waiting to see Zhou An make a fool of himself.
Zhou An didn't know what they were thinking, but he could guess a little.
A dark light flashed across his cold eyes, and he sneered in his heart.
Still want to see him laugh? Then let them see it.
After a few steps, he arrived at the dormitory and happened to meet Xu Long coming out.
Xu Long looked surprised and said without thinking: "Captain Zhou, didn't you go to give your sister-in-law some fruit? Why are you back?"
In one sentence, he asked what everyone was thinking.
Zhou An opened the bag he was holding, took out a mooncake from it and handed it to Xu Long.
He spoke slowly: "Isn't it Mid-Autumn Festival? Your sister-in-law made some mooncakes and asked me to bring them to you."
"Celebrate a festival and enjoy the solar terms."
After the words were spoken, everyone fell silent. No one had expected this to be the outcome.
There are many sisters-in-law who accompany the army on the island, but none of them is so considerate.
Not to mention sending mooncakes, they never look happy when I go to their house for a meal.
Xu Long was flattered. He took the mooncake with both hands and couldn't wait to take a bite.
His eyes sparkled, and he spoke incoherently, "Captain Zhou, my sister-in-law's cooking skills are amazing."
One bite into this mooncake and you'll know it's made with a lot of ingredients. It tastes sweet but not greasy, and leaves a lingering fragrance on your lips and tongue.
Not to mention the supply and marketing cooperatives on the islands, even compared with the supply and marketing cooperatives outside, they are far superior.
He can eat ten of them in one go.
Xu Long finished the mooncake in his hand in two or three bites and smiled ingratiatingly: "Captain Zhou, give me another one."
His eyes fell on the bag and he could see that there was still quite a bit in it.
I was secretly surprised that my sister-in-law was so generous.
Before Zhou An could speak, the other people who were eavesdropping in the dormitory rushed out.
They pushed Xu Long away, shouting, "You still want to eat? We haven't had any yet."
"That's right, there aren't enough for everyone in our camp."
"I've always known that my sister-in-law is beautiful, but I didn't expect her cooking skills to be so good."
"It's all thanks to my sister-in-law's thoughtfulness. No one in other camps has such a good fortune."
Hearing everyone praising Xu Zhixia, Zhou An couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth, and his eyebrows became softer.
These bastards who used to be unpleasant to the eye now look pleasing to the eye.
He took a look at the mooncakes and simply handed over the whole bag.
"This is what your sister-in-law gave you. Divide it among yourselves."
As soon as the words fell, there was a cheer.
The people from other battalions looked over enviously, and only regretted that their battalion commander was not Zhou An.
As for the group of people following Zhou An, their faces had already turned ashen.
Still laughing at Zhou An's joke? They became the joke.
They don't even have to wait until tomorrow to imagine how others will criticize them.
I only regret that I didn’t marry a good wife, so I don’t even have this opportunity to increase my reputation.
"This sweet mooncake is delicious, much better than the ones sold at the supply and marketing cooperative."
"Sweet mooncake? Why is mine made of meat?"
"Mine is also made with meat. I've never had it before, but it tastes pretty good now."
"Sister-in-law actually made two fillings? That's really thoughtful..."
Everyone was talking at once, and the scene was very lively.
The leaders who came down to inspect and Political Commissar Zhou happened to see the crowd gathering.
Political Commissar Zhou waved his hand, called over a random soldier, and asked, "Why aren't you all going to eat yet? Why are you all gathered in the dormitory?"
His tone was full of confusion, and he wondered if there was something wrong with the food in the cafeteria.
His eyes fell on the leader beside him, and his heart was in turmoil.
The soldier saluted first, then said honestly: "Report, it was Captain Zhou's wife who made mooncakes for us. Let everyone taste them and celebrate the solar term."
As soon as these words were spoken, Political Commissar Zhou and the leaders were surprised.
They only knew that Zhou An married a daughter of a capitalist, but they didn't expect... it would be like this.
"Zhou An really married a good wife." The leader couldn't help but sigh.
Political Commissar Zhou nodded and thought the same thing.
The leader paused and continued, "I remember he was one of the nominees last time, right?"
"You can handle household chores so well, you can conduct a deeper assessment."
Political Commissar Zhou's pupils suddenly contracted, because once the leader said this, the matter was most likely settled.
If he was just sighing just now, now he really envied Zhong'an for having a good wife.
You know, in the army, promotion is as difficult as climbing to the sky.
At this time, Xu Zhixia didn't know that her unintentional small action helped Zhou An a lot.
She had just finished dealing with all the crabs and returned to the bedroom to pick out clothes to wear today.
Logically, she should keep a low profile, but... her eyes were still on the bright red dress at the edge.
After hesitating for a moment, I decided to wear this.
After all, today is a holiday, so there’s nothing wrong with being a little festive. She comforted herself in her heart.
After changing her clothes, Xu Zhixia sat in front of the dressing mirror, picked up her lipstick and gently applied it twice.
It added a touch of bright color to her delicate lips.
She dipped her fingertips in the lotion and applied it on both sides of her cheeks, which made her look more radiant.
A head of long, shiny black hair falls down naturally.
Because I tied my hair into a pigtail when I woke up in the morning, there are some curves in it, which makes me look fashionable and generous.
After doing all this, she walked out hesitantly.
Unconfidently, he said, "Haohao, what do you think of my outfit?"
