Chapter 25 A flash of disappointment flashed across Zhou An's eyes
Xu Zhixia noticed this and the smile on her face froze.
She looked at Aunt Zhao silently without saying anything.
The atmosphere became weird, and Aunt Zhao made up an excuse and left in a hurry.
Xu Zhixia pursed her lips and sat there blankly.
Haohao noticed that she was in a bad mood, so he tiptoed over and gave her a big hug.
She was stunned for a moment, then held Haohao in her arms. The temperature of the child made her feel a little warm.
The news that Xu Zhixia was the daughter of a capitalist family spread across the entire island at lightning speed.
Once she goes out, she will face strange looks and whispers from others.
Apart from the gossipy aunts, everyone in the army had heard something about it.
After Zhou An learned about this, he hurried home.
He soothed them, "Let's go find the political commissar and let him do some ideological work for them."
As if he was afraid of scaring Xu Zhixia, he lowered his tone, but this could not hide the anger in his voice.
The wife he had worked so hard to marry was not one to be bullied by those people.
Seeing that he looked like the eunuch was anxious even though the emperor was not, Xu Zhixia couldn't help laughing out loud.
She has curved eyebrows and eyes, which is very beautiful.
"Why are you so anxious? Let them say whatever they want."
"Anyway, I'm the eldest daughter of a capitalist family. It won't hurt me to say a few words."
She laughed at herself and didn't want to make a big deal out of it.
In fact, she knew in her heart that Zhou An must be facing a lot of pressure when being with her.
Even if she found no problem with the review, she didn't want to cause any more trouble for Zhou An.
What she didn't say was noticed by Zhou An.
Zhou An restrained the smile on his face and said word by word: "Xu Zhixia, I don't want you to be like this."
"Can you trust me and rely on me a little?"
Xu Zhixia looked at Zhou An in a daze, feeling his sincerity.
But...she didn't reply, her attitude said it all.
A hint of disappointment flashed in Zhou An's eyes. He looked at her deeply and turned away.
Xu Zhixia felt as if there was a void in her heart, which made her feel melancholy.
She bit her teeth lightly, a complex feeling welling up in her mind.
From that day on, Xu Zhixia and Zhou An seemed to be in a cold war.
Zhou An seemed to be avoiding her intentionally, and sometimes he was nowhere to be seen for the entire day.
However, the furniture promised to her was delivered to the room one by one.
She didn't see Zhou An, but Zhou An's figure was everywhere.
Even Haohao felt something was wrong and asked in a low voice what had happened.
Xu Zhixia just smiled and touched his little head, with no intention of explaining.
She hadn't received any response to the manuscript she sent out last time, so she wrote a few more during this period and planned to put them together and send them out.
Just at this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door.
Xu Zhixia showed a puzzled expression. Ever since the news that her family was a capitalist spread, everyone wanted to avoid her. How could someone still come to her house?
Although she was puzzled, she put down the pen and walked towards the door.
When she opened the door, a familiar face appeared in her eyes.
"Xiao Xia, I said I'd take you to the beach last time, but I never had time. Today is low tide, do you want to go?"
Aunt Ma smiled kindly and spoke.
Xu Zhixia didn't speak for a long time, as if she was stunned.
Aunt Ma was wondering in her heart, could it be that Xu Zhixia was just saying polite words last time?
Her heart was pounding. Just as she was about to find an excuse to leave, she heard Xu Zhixia's firm voice: "Aunt Ma, wait for me. I'll go with you now."
She hurried back to the yard and found two small backpacks.
After thinking about it, I decided to take Haohao with me.
To be honest, she really didn't expect that Aunt Ma would come to her at this critical juncture.
Faced with this kindness, she was even a little overwhelmed.
The two chatted and laughed as they walked towards the beach.
When we were almost there, we could see a group of people on the beach from a distance.
Xu Zhixia paused, a little hesitant.
Facing Aunt Ma's puzzled gaze, she hesitantly said, "Aunt, otherwise I won't go."
"They all know my identity. If others see you and me together, I'm afraid it will be bad for your reputation."
She said this from the bottom of her heart. It didn't matter to her, but she didn't want to implicate the people around her.
This is true for Zhou An and also for Aunt Ma.
Aunt Ma found it funny and said nonchalantly, "It's just a rumor. What's there to worry about?"
"I'm an old woman who's very good at judging people. I'm sure there's nothing wrong with your character."
Even though they had only known each other for a short time, Aunt Ma trusted her so much that she felt an indescribable emotion in her heart.
She took a deep breath and smiled brightly: "Aunt is right, then we will go together."
Since Aunt Ma is not worried, if she continues to be timid, it will only hurt their feelings.
The two of them took Haohao and walked towards the beach normally.
The people not far away also noticed the situation here.
Wu Xiuxiu raised her eyebrows and raised her voice: "Oh, some people are really thick-skinned."
"They have such a good family background, yet they still try to steal things from us ordinary people."
The tone was so sarcastic that he almost named someone.
The people surrounding Wu Xiuxiu echoed:
"That's right. If you ask me, people whose families are well-off shouldn't come here."
"There's only so much seafood on the beach. We won't have enough by then."
"It's really inappropriate. I don't know how such a person could survive the scrutiny."
"What a pity for that young man Zhou An, how could he..."
Xu Zhixia's face darkened, and just as she was about to speak, Aunt Ma took a step forward.
"Where does this sour smell come from? If your mouth stinks, don't talk."
"If you have any questions, go find the political commissar. Xiao Xia has clearly passed the review. Why are you here to make noises?"
"This beach is so big, can you dig up everything inside?"
"It's easy to talk when you're not feeling the pain. They're not capitalists anymore, but you're acting like capitalists."
As soon as the words fell, everyone's expression changed.
The big hat of capitalist is so scary that even touching it makes people tremble with fear, let alone wearing it.
The aunts who had just spoken for Wu Xiuxiu became dissatisfied when they saw Aunt Ma.
Clamoring: "How can you talk like that, Ma?"
"Did he accept something from someone? Otherwise, why would he show off his abilities?"
This is a bit serious. The aunt who just said it also felt vaguely regretful.
Before she could open her mouth to make amends again, Xu Zhixia stood up.
She looked around, a sneer curled up at the corner of her mouth, and said, "I can see that everyone has a lot of opinions about me."
"How about this, we don't involve anyone else and just follow me to find the political commissar."
Her voice was cold: "Let's go ask the political commissar how he did things. He actually let me, a capitalist, marry into the army."
The air seemed to freeze. No one expected her to be so tough, and there was a sudden silence.
Who would dare to go to the political commissar? Doesn't that mean questioning the decision from above?
If my man knew about this, I would be in big trouble.
Everyone couldn't help but feel regretful. They should not have come to join in the fun.
Xu Zhixia saw their expressions and sneered in her heart.
She can tolerate being bullied.
You can’t bully the people around her!
