Second Uncle straightened his expression and took out an expired letter of introduction from his pocket.
This has no value, but it can prove a person's identity, which shows his sincerity.
Xu Zhixia's lips curled up, she was right about the person.
After the two exchanged tokens and agreed on a place to exchange, Xu Zhixia left.
Zhou An was very quick. He dug the cellar on the same day as he had agreed to do so.
Xu Zhixia came to the new house and felt relieved to see that it had taken shape.
"How about it? If you think there's something wrong with it, I can ask someone to change it."
Zhou An's magnetic voice sounded and asked.
Xu Zhixia shook her head and said sincerely, "I think this is good enough."
She said this from the bottom of her heart. This house was better than she had imagined.
It looks ordinary from the outside, but once you come in you realize there is something else inside.
Especially the cellar under the kitchen, which was big enough to hold a lot of things and was exactly what she wanted.
Zhou An raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a faint smile.
"I'll have them move the furniture in tomorrow, and then Mom and Dad can move right in."
He pretended to speak casually, his eyes fixed on Xu Zhixia.
Xu Zhixia saw what he was up to at a glance and immediately found it a little funny.
She glared at Zhou An coquettishly and warned him, "Don't be careless."
Zhou An's eyes lit up and he quickly agreed.
Xu Zhixia made up an excuse and let Zhou An leave first.
After Zhou An left, she returned to the cellar.
Put out everything in the space, carefully close the cellar door, and then leave.
After all, she was counting on the space to help her store food tomorrow.
The next day, Xu Zhixia arrived at an abandoned hut ten kilometers outside the city as promised, and sure enough, he saw food on the ground.
This was the hidden place Zhao Yue told her, otherwise she wouldn't know it.
She made an agreement with her second uncle that he would leave the food here and come back to get the money in an hour.
When the time comes, she will naturally contact someone to transport the food away.
Xu Zhixia was not in a hurry to collect the food, but walked around.
I breathed a sigh of relief when I was sure that no one was here.
He put all the food into the space, placed the remaining money in the place they agreed upon, and then left as if nothing had happened.
As for the tokens of love between the two, they have agreed to exchange them the next time they go to the black market.
After doing all this, Xu Zhixia hurried back to the island.
Zhou An hadn't come back yet, and the new house was the same as yesterday, which made Xu Zhixia feel relieved.
She went to the cellar, took out the food from the space, and put the antiques and calligraphy and paintings back into the space.
Looking at the food that took up half of the cellar, she smiled with ease.
In the evening, she told Zhou An that the food had been bought.
Zhou An didn't know how much she bought, so he nodded to show that he knew.
Then he changed the subject: "The furniture has been moved back. How about asking Mom and Dad to move in with us tomorrow?"
He asked cautiously, fearing that Xu Zhixia would disagree.
Xu Zhixia raised her eyebrows and deliberately dragged out the words: "Moving tomorrow?"
Zhou An paused for a moment, a hint of disappointment flashing in his eyes.
He lowered his head and said aggrievedly: "If you can't bear to leave your parents, you can stay for a while longer."
Xu Zhixia chuckled: "What's there to be reluctant about? We live next door."
"I'll talk to my parents tomorrow."
After a pause, he added, "Let Haohao go with you tomorrow?"
After all, what they are going to do at night...is somewhat inappropriate for children.
Zhou An suddenly perked up and nodded without hesitation: "I think it's okay."
"Mom and Dad can take better care of Haohao."
Taking better care of your daughter? That's just an excuse for men.
Xu Zhixia knew it in her heart, but she didn't point it out. Instead, she just smiled it off.
When she was free, she told Xu's father and mother about this.
Xu's mother showed a surprised expression: "So soon? I thought I would have to wait a week."
Xu Zhixia then remembered that she had not yet taken Xu's father and mother to see the new house.
A wave of guilt welled up in my heart, and I quickly added, "Shall we go and take a look now?"
Xu's father and mother naturally agreed, and the group went there happily.
As Xu Zhixia expected, both Xu's father and mother were very satisfied.
Xu's mother suggested, "Why don't we have dinner here tonight?"
Xu Zhixia thought about it and decided that this was a good idea to add some homely atmosphere to the new home.
So Xu's mother and I moved the things over and started to get busy.
When Zhou An returned home, he found the house empty.
He thought for a moment, then turned around and went straight to the next door.
Before I even entered the door, I smelled a strong fragrance.
A hint of helplessness flashed in his eyes. Did he forget about him?
"Godfather." A familiar voice sounded. Zhou An looked over and saw Haohao jogging towards him.
She looked up at him and gave him a bright smile.
Haohao has changed dramatically compared to a few months ago.
It was hard for anyone to tell that he had suffered psychological trauma.
However, he is still a little shy when dealing with outsiders.
But the current situation is much better than before.
When Xu Zhixia heard Haohao's voice, she remembered that she had forgotten to tell Zhou An to come over for dinner.
I couldn't help feeling guilty and touched the tip of my nose.
Walking up to Zhou An, he spoke uncomfortably: "I forgot to tell you..."
Zhou An smiled and said, "It's okay. I saw that no one was home, so I knew you were here."
Xu Zhixia felt much more relaxed. Before she could say anything, her mother called out, "Zhou An is back? Come over and have dinner."
She blinked, holding Zhou An with one hand and Haohao with the other, and walked inside together.
There is no need to mention Xu's mother's cooking skills. Today, to celebrate moving to a new home, she made a large table of delicious food.
Especially the plate of braised pork placed in the middle, which looks shaky and makes people very appetizing.
At least Xu Zhixia was very satisfied with the meal. After finishing the meal, she wanted to help wash the dishes, but was driven away by Xu's mother.
"Just leave this little work to me. You and Zhou An should go back and have a rest."
I don’t know if it was Xu Zhixia’s illusion, but Xu’s mother’s words “rest” seemed to have a hidden meaning.
Her ears turned red, she coughed twice, and did not insist.
"Mom, I'll go back first."
"Let Haohao stay here tonight and get familiar with his new home."
A hint of doubt flashed in Haohao's eyes, but he said nothing obediently and watched Xu Zhixia and Zhou An leave.
When the two figures disappeared from view, Xu's mother came over, half squatted, and said to Haohao with a smile: "Haohao, you are going to have a little brother or sister soon. Are you happy?"
Brother...sister? Haohao's little face showed surprise, and then joy.
He looked in the direction Xu Zhixia left, with a glimmer of anticipation in his eyes.
