Xu Zhixia looked in the direction of the voice and saw a pretty and charming woman walking towards them.
When she saw Xu Zhixia, a hint of jealousy flashed in her eyes.
The words he said were even more unpleasant, like a question: "Who are you, and why are you with Brother Zhou?"
Xu Zhixia had previously told the man who broke in that when she came to catch someone cheating, she just wanted to divert the man's attention.
I didn’t expect... that it would come true?
Although she thought so in her heart, she did not show it on the surface.
Smiling, she took Zhou An's arm and said affectionately, "Dad, who is this?"
"You can't go out and attract other women without my knowledge and the child's knowledge, right?"
Sun Jiaojiao's face suddenly turned very ugly. She didn't expect that Zhou An actually had a wife and even a child.
She forced a smile and explained, "Sister-in-law, you misunderstood. Brother Zhou and I have nothing to do with each other."
It's more of an attempt to cover up something than an explanation.
That’s right, Sun Jiaojiao did it on purpose.
Ever since she went to the countryside as an educated youth, her life has been miserable. She dreams of returning to the city.
So when he heard that Zhou An came from the city to visit relatives, he started to have evil thoughts.
Although this man is good at doing farm work, it can be seen from the details of his hands that there are no calluses at all.
Sun Jiaojiao didn't believe that he didn't live a life of luxury.
Besides, Zhou An is good-looking, so it’s worth being with a man like him.
But she didn't expect that before she could seduce Zhou An, the other party's wife came up to her first.
If this woman makes a big scene, then she might still have a chance.
But what she didn't know was that Xu Zhixia saw through her thoughts at a glance.
He raised his eyebrows and said with a forced smile: "Really? If it's just a misunderstanding, it's fine."
"But comrade, Zhou An has a family after all. Isn't it inappropriate for you to address him so intimately?"
Sun Jiaojiao felt as if there was a breath stuck in her chest, which she couldn't swallow or spit out.
She looked at Zhou An pitifully, but unfortunately Zhou An usually ignored her, let alone now.
He was still immersed in Xu Zhixia's initiative, and followed Xu Zhixia forward and left in a daze.
Only Sun Jiaojiao was left, gazing at the two men's backs with gritted teeth.
Zhou An's comrade-in-arms also happened to have the surname Zhou. He called in the name of the other party's distant cousin and came to visit his elderly relatives at home.
The Zhou family lives on the edge of the brigade, which is very quiet and convenient.
But the environment...is not satisfactory.
Looking at the thatched hut in front of him, Xu Zhixia seemed to be hesitant to speak.
She had never lived in such a shabby place in her two lifetimes.
Zhou An looked apologetic: "Xia Xia, I'm sorry, you and I have been wronged."
Xu Zhixia pursed her lips, said nothing, and strode in.
Although it is a thatched hut, it also has two rooms.
The house where Zhou An lives is separate from that of the Zhou family.
I don’t know how Zhou An communicated with the Zhou family and agreed to let him live here, but this is all insignificant.
After closing the door, Xu Zhixia said straight to the point: "Zhou An, don't you have anything to explain to me?"
Zhou An was stunned for a moment, then met Xu Zhixia's angry eyes.
He felt uneasy, but didn't know why, so he asked tentatively: "Xia Xia, are you angry?"
Seeing that Zhou An didn't even know why she was angry, Xu Zhixia felt helpless.
It was like a fist hitting cotton, leaving her with no place to use her strength.
She glared at Zhou An fiercely: "What's the matter with that woman?"
Zhou An suddenly realized something, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Xia Xia, are you jealous?"
Xu Zhixia's ears flushed red as she subconsciously denied it, "No, we just agreed on a marriage, there's nothing going on at all."
The light in Zhou An's eyes grew brighter and brighter, because although Xu Zhixia said so, her actions did not reflect that.
He lowered his voice and explained, "I'm not familiar with that Sun Jiaojiao. She's an educated youth from the city."
"But...she seems to have some thoughts about me."
Zhou An hesitated for a moment, but still told the story.
Xu Zhixia looked at him doubtfully, and the anger in her heart completely subsided.
In fact, she believed Zhou An and there was no way he could have anything to do with that woman.
But when she thought about her man being coveted by other people, she felt uncomfortable.
She turned her head away awkwardly and muttered, "She's pretty good-looking, what if..."
Before he could finish his next words, Zhou An interrupted him seriously.
"Xia Xia, there is only you in my heart, and only you."
"I don't like you saying that."
He rarely used this tone and pointed to his heart: "It feels uncomfortable here."
Xu Zhixia stared at Zhou An blankly, her heart beating uncontrollably.
This was the first time she faced their relationship head-on. Since they were already husband and wife...why not make it real?
Once this thought appeared in her mind, it stayed there for a long time.
Under Zhou An's gaze, she stepped back and apologized: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that."
Zhou An couldn't help but feel distressed when he saw Xu Zhixia looking wilted.
I simply didn't want to continue this topic and changed the subject: "Let me take you to see Uncle Zhou and Aunt Zhou first."
After all, he came here under the pretext of visiting relatives, so he had to let Xu Zhixia get familiar with the place first to avoid any mistakes.
Xu Zhixia nodded and agreed.
After thinking for a while, he took out a bag of candy from his small bag.
He whispered, "I bought this at the supply and marketing cooperative. Consider it a gift."
In this day and age, if you don’t know what to give as a gift, giving candy is definitely a good option.
Zhou An nodded without objection and took Xu Zhixia to another room.
After a simple greeting, the two went back.
At night, Zhou An lowered his voice and said, "I suspect that there are hostiles sent by the Soviet Union in this brigade, but they have not been found."
"But I found a few letters. Do you think you can translate them?"
As he spoke, he took out two letters.
Xu Zhixia took it with both hands, opened it directly, and read it at a glance.
She frowned, feeling a little embarrassed.
She could understand most of the content, but some professional vocabulary was unfamiliar to her.
Fortunately, Jiang Hanzhi had given her a Su language dictionary before, and she also put it in the space and brought it with her.
But now Zhou An is here, how can she enter the space?
In just a few seconds, Xu Zhixia thought of many reasons.
But after a moment of silence, she still didn't want to lie to Zhou An.
She suddenly said, "Can you go out and boil me a pot of water?"
There was clearly water boiled in the room that had been boiled in the afternoon, and Xu Zhixia said this obviously to get rid of people.
Zhou An was a smart man and understood it immediately.
He stood up without hesitation and walked out without asking any questions.
Xu Zhixia was a little surprised when she saw his reaction.
Do you trust her unconditionally?
