At this time, Xu Zhixia didn't know that someone was jealous of her because of Wang Zhuang, the uninvited visitor.
But even if she knew, she wouldn't care. After all, she has attracted a lot of hatred now.
Because the soldiers had training tomorrow, no one drank.
After eating and drinking, they spontaneously helped to clean up.
Although Xu Zhixia said she didn't need their help, she couldn't resist their enthusiasm.
By the time the group left, the courtyard was even cleaner than before.
Xu Zhixia didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and looked at Zhou An: "They started working as soon as they arrived. Those who knew us would think we were treating them to a meal, but those who didn't would think we were asking them to do some hard labor."
Zhou An realized she was joking and continued, "They are willing."
"If you feel bad, just make something for them when the time comes."
I believe those wolf cubs will be very happy when they know this.
After the meal, Zhou An led his group to start building a house.
Since it is just a couple living here and we want to keep a low profile, there is no need to make it too complicated.
A simple two-bedroom, one-living room with a separate small kitchen will do.
Xu's mother also suggested building a small yard so that they could farm at home.
Xu Zhixia had no objection, so Zhou An naturally agreed.
Just as the Xu family was looking forward to the completion of the house, there was movement next door.
Xu Zhixia looked at the pile of luggage outside the door, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.
The house has been empty for a long time since Wu Xiuxiu moved out.
I originally thought that no one would live here this year, but I didn't expect that someone would actually move in.
Although she was curious, she had no intention of taking the initiative to say hello.
But what she didn't expect was that the new neighbor actually came to her on his own initiative.
In the afternoon, there was a knock on the door.
Xu Zhixia hurried out and opened the door to find a woman in her early thirties.
She had an awkward expression on her face and forced a smile: "Hello... Hello, I, no, I just moved here."
"It's our custom to give red eggs as gifts. Please don't mind."
She stammered as she handed over the basket in her hand.
Xu Zhixia didn't react and just took it in her hand.
Without waiting for her to thank her, the woman seemed relieved and fled away.
Looking at her back, she looked like a monster.
Xu Zhixia was a little amused and helpless. This was the first time she was treated like this in such a long time.
Because of this little episode, she became curious about her next-door neighbor.
Before going to bed at night, she couldn't help but ask.
"Zhou An, do you know what's going on with the new neighbor next door?"
Zhou An thought for a moment and replied, "It should be Captain Feng and his lover."
"Captain Feng was recently transferred from somewhere else and doesn't have a place to live yet."
"It just so happened that Wu Xiuxiu left, so they gave him their house."
Xu Zhixia seemed to be lost in thought before continuing to ask, "What about Captain Feng?"
Zhou An thought for a moment and said, "It's okay to get along with him. He's not that complicated."
Hearing this, Xu Zhixia felt completely relieved.
As the saying goes, people from the same family tend to be similar.
Since Captain Feng is easy to get along with, his wife should be easy to talk to as well, right?
The next day, Xu Zhixia brought a can of malted milk and went next door.
In this era, malted milk was a valuable gift, and you couldn't buy it even if you had money and tickets.
When she came over, Feng Cuihua was busy in the yard.
Hearing the voice, he looked over and saw Xu Zhixia with a helpless expression.
He quickly stood up and walked over, and when he was about to get to Xu Zhixia, he suddenly stopped.
He rubbed his hands awkwardly and asked cautiously, "Sister, what's wrong with you?"
She had lived for most of her life and had never seen anyone so good-looking.
When talking to Xu Zhixia, she subconsciously lowered her voice, for fear that the other party would be scared.
Xu Zhixia raised the corners of her mouth, revealing a gentle smile.
"Sister-in-law, I see you just arrived, so I came to see if there is anything I can help you with."
"Thank you for the eggs you gave me yesterday. Please keep this malted milk for the child."
She handed over the malted milk in her hand.
Feng Cuihua took two steps back in panic and waved her hands quickly: "I can't accept this from you. Those eggs are worthless."
Xu Zhixia insisted, "Sister-in-law, are you disliking me if you don't accept it?"
She pretended to be depressed and lowered her head, which immediately deceived Feng Cuihua.
She took it at a loss and comforted him: "Sister, that's not what I meant..."
When she saw Xu Zhixia raise her head and smile mischievously, she suddenly realized.
But since I had already accepted it, it was not easy to return it, so I had to accept it.
My favorability towards Xu Zhixia increased significantly.
Xu Zhixia thought for a moment and said, "Sister-in-law, you've just arrived on the island, so you don't have a lot of things, right? I'll take you to the supply and marketing cooperative in the city to have a look."
Feng Cuihua waved her hand and awkwardly refused: "No, I brought everything I need from my hometown."
Brought it from home? Quite impressive, Xu Zhixia couldn't help but sigh.
But she didn't show it. Just as she was about to say goodbye, Feng Cuihua said hesitantly: "Sister, come to think of it, I haven't sent a letter to my family yet."
"If it's convenient for you, could you take me to the post office?"
Looking at her cautious look, Xu Zhixia frowned slightly.
She said nothing and readily agreed: "Okay, sister-in-law, then we have to leave now."
Feng Cuihua didn't ask the reason. She quickly packed up the things on hand and locked the yard door.
After doing all this, he followed Xu Zhixia timidly.
The two of them, one in front and one behind, finally caught up with the boat that left at noon.
After getting on the boat, Xu Zhixia finally had time to explain: "There is no post office on our island. If you want to send a letter, you can only go to the city."
"But it's also very convenient. The boat runs three times a day."
"Sister-in-law, if you want to buy something big, you can ask them to deliver it to the dock for you."
"Just ask your husband to come get it when you get back."
Feng Cuihua listened carefully and nodded from time to time.
Xu Zhixia couldn't help but say more, and by the time she got off the boat, she was already feeling dry mouthed.
But one thing is true, Feng Cuihua is an easy person to get along with.
Besides, since they will be neighbors in the future, Xu Zhixia doesn't mind showing more kindness.
The two chatted happily along the way and soon arrived at the post office.
As soon as he entered the door, Zhao Yue's surprised voice came: "Xia Xia, you are here."
She walked over to Xu Zhixia, took her arm and said coquettishly: "You haven't come to see me for a long time."
Speaking of this, Xu Zhixia couldn't help but feel a little guilty.
She touched the tip of her nose and explained, "Something happened a while ago, so I went on a long trip."
After a pause, he changed the subject: "By the way, this is my neighbor. She wants to send a letter."
