"Come in quickly." Xu Zhixia greeted warmly with a smile on her face.
The group of people stood there in a daze, staring at her.
A hint of surprise flashed in their eyes at the same time, and even their breathing became lighter involuntarily.
Xu Zhixia wore a light yellow dress today, and the bright color made her look more lively.
Under the natural light, the fair skin and white hair seem to glow.
Below the slender waist that can be held in one hand are a pair of long and straight legs.
Her long black hair fell down naturally, adding a touch of gentleness to her.
Everyone on the island knew that Xu Zhixia was a beauty, but no one expected her to be so beautiful.
She is a hundred times prettier than the military beauty in the art troupe.
"Ahem, have you seen enough?" Zhou An stepped forward, standing in front of Xu Zhixia, and glanced at her with dissatisfaction.
Xu Long was the first to react and gave an embarrassed smile.
He said, "It's because my sister-in-law is so beautiful. She is a perfect match for Brother Zhou."
"I wonder how beautiful your children will be when you have them in the future."
These words touched Zhou An's heart, and his expression became much better.
Xu Zhixia followed suit and said, "We're waiting for you to eat. They're all home-cooked dishes, so don't be disgusted."
After these words, everyone went in one by one.
But there was still one person who had not come to his senses, and that was Wang Zhuang.
A hint of jealousy flashed in his eyes. Why did Zhou An have such a beautiful wife?
The resentment towards Xu Zhixia before coming here suddenly disappeared, and turned into envy and jealousy towards Zhou An.
As for his wife, he had long forgotten about her.
After entering the courtyard, everyone found that it was completely different from other people's courtyards.
Nowadays, in order to be self-sufficient, most people choose to grow some vegetables at home.
Although it is more convenient to eat, the aesthetics...is greatly reduced.
The Zhou family's yard was planted with flowers and plants.
One glance at it makes people feel relaxed and happy.
There is also a wooden rocking chair in the corner.
One can imagine how pleasant it would be to cool off on it in the summer.
The way they looked at Zhou An suddenly changed. You kid, you actually eat so well in secret.
Mr. and Mrs. Xu had already prepared the meal in advance and went to the second floor, leaving enough space for them.
The group sat down in the courtyard and had a good time.
When they saw the dishes on the table, everyone was surprised again.
Nowadays, when you invite people to dinner, it is considered a good meal if there is a meat dish.
But now, half of the dishes on the table are meat, and the quantity is also very large.
It can be seen that Xu Zhixia has put a lot of thought into it and is willing to do so.
The flat-headed soldier couldn't help swallowing his saliva, and his dialect popped out: "My God, this smells so good."
Others didn't think he was overreacting because they felt the same way.
Although they inevitably had to eat meat during military training, most people still saved their money and tickets and sent them to their parents and children back home.
As for having a meal to your heart's content, that's a no-brainer.
Wang Zhuang said sourly: "As expected of a young lady, you have the money to prepare these things."
"My family hasn't seen any meat in a month. It's incomparable."
As soon as the words fell, everyone's expression changed.
The main reason was that what Wang Zhuang said was really unpleasant. He came here just to eat for free, but he still spoke dirty words.
The others showed dissatisfaction, but considering that he was the battalion commander, they didn't dare to say it out loud.
However, Zhou Anke didn't have so many concerns. Just when he was about to retort, Xu Zhixia said with a smile: "It's nothing."
“Mostly, thank you all for your help.”
After a pause, he added, "Besides, my family not only relies on my wife's allowance, but I can also earn a little money, so I naturally have enough money on hand."
"Comrade, what does your lover do?"
Xu Zhixia didn't know Wang Zhuang's identity, but she could feel that he had ill intentions towards her.
She avoided the question and asked back, making Wang Zhuang's face turn pale and blue.
What does his wife do? She does nothing, and every day she finds ways to support her family.
People are really different. Why didn't he marry a wife like Xu Zhixia?
He is not one to hide his emotions, so he forces his thoughts to the surface.
Zhou An's face darkened, and a storm was surging in his eyes.
"Captain Wang, please pay attention."
"Originally, I was treating my fellow soldiers to a meal. It would have been fine if you just showed up uninvited, but why do you have so many suggestions?"
This was not a very tactful statement, he almost pointed at Wang Zhuang's nose and scolded him for meddling in other people's business.
Wang Zhuang was also a ruthless person, and he pretended not to hear.
He lowered his head, picked up the chopsticks, and prepared to eat.
But Zhou An couldn't bear it. Wang Zhuang came with bad intentions, and he didn't have the habit of swallowing his anger.
His voice grew colder. "Captain Wang, your wife should have prepared your meal by now, right? We won't keep you here."
If Wang Zhuang could pretend not to hear it just now, he couldn't even pretend to be stupid now.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, he could only stand up.
He said frustratedly: "What's so delicious? It doesn't look appetizing."
Then he turned around and strode away.
I couldn't help but complain in my heart, this Zhou An is really something, we are all comrades, but he doesn't show any mercy at all.
He completely forgot how he had attacked Xu Zhixia just now.
Along the way, Wang Zhuang became more and more angry.
But he has always been a person who is soft-hearted and afraid of tough situations, and he did not dare to vent his anger on Zhou An and Xu Zhixia.
He received news some time ago that Zhou An was appreciated by his superiors because of Xu Zhixia, and he would probably be promoted soon.
At this critical juncture, it is not a wise choice to make enemies with Zhou An.
How come other people’s wives can be a help to their husbands, but his wife has become the laughing stock of the entire island?
When he returned home, Wang Zhuang's face had turned completely black.
When Zhuzi's mother heard the footsteps, she hurried out and asked in confusion, "Didn't you say you wouldn't be back for dinner tonight?"
Wang Zhuang pushed her away and slapped her.
He angrily shouted, “Why, this is my home, and I can’t even come back?”
"We are all women, why can't you learn from Xu Zhixia!"
"Not only is she beautiful, but she's also Zhou An's good wife."
"I'm so unlucky that I ended up marrying a wife like you..."
His subsequent words became more and more unpleasant, and he vented his anger on Zhuzi's mother.
Zhuzi's mother was confused at first, but when she came to her senses, a blush appeared on her face.
She lowered her head awkwardly, not daring to resist, and listened to the scolding.
She noticed that Xu Zhixia was mentioned more and more frequently by Wang Zhuang, and a surge of hatred welled up in her heart.
Xu Zhixia, it’s this Xu Zhixia again.
A seed gradually took root in her heart and slowly broke through the soil.
Her eyes were deep and she subconsciously clenched her fists.
Because he used too much force, several crescent-shaped marks were left on the palm of his hand.
