Chapter 48 Was he commended?
Xu Zhixia stood behind Zhou An and looked around coldly, trying to figure out who was the leader.
Zhuzi's wife? Not really. The last time I met her, I found that she was a brainless person.
And the others had no grudges against her... Her gaze finally fell on Teacher Qi, who was in the lead.
He looked worried, as if he wanted to persuade Zhuzi's mother to go back.
If someone who doesn't know the situation saw this, they would probably praise the teacher in their hearts.
But Xu Zhixia did not miss the dark meaning that flashed across his eyes.
Could it be that the purpose of Teacher Qi doing this is just to become a teacher again?
Now it seems that this is the only reason, but Xu Zhixia vaguely feels that something is wrong.
Just when the situation reached a stalemate, hurried footsteps were heard, followed by a familiar voice: "What are you all doing here?"
Everyone looked over and saw that it was Aunt Cai.
As the daughter-in-law of Political Commissar Zhou and a member of the Women's Federation, she has a certain appeal.
Others may not know the inside story of Xu Zhixia's translation, but she knows it best.
His brows furrowed in dissatisfaction, and he adjusted his tone: "Everyone, disperse. Comrade Xu can pass the review, so there must be no problem."
"What's wrong with knowing foreign languages? There are many skills and many paths. I don't know how many people want to learn now, but they can't find a teacher."
"It's just a small matter, why are you rushing over here to make a scene?"
"Who's the leader? If you have any complaints, talk to me first!"
Her sharp gaze swept over, and everyone she saw lowered their heads guiltily.
Who would have thought that Aunt Cai could speak up for Xu Zhixia?
Aunt Cai also felt scared. If she hadn't happened to pass by and seen this scene, what would she have done if Xu Zhixia was forced to resign by this group of parents?
Under normal circumstances, seeing Aunt Cai being so strong, Zhuzi's mother would definitely give up the idea of continuing to find fault.
But it’s different now. She has already suffered a loss at the hands of Xu Zhixia once.
If she runs away in disgrace again this time, how can she still save her face?
Besides, she was right. At this critical juncture, knowing foreign languages would be a good thing.
It means that the supervision on their island is lax. If it were outside, Xu Zhixia would have been arrested long ago.
She gritted her teeth and mustered up the courage to ask back, "Aunt Cai, you can't speak for her just because you have a good relationship with her."
"If something goes wrong with her students and she doesn't take responsibility, are we supposed to go looking for you?"
This sentence is simply a linguistic trap. There are so many things that can be written on this issue.
But Aunt Cai didn't react, and a hint of hesitation flashed in her eyes.
It was this hesitation that made Zhuzi's mother feel as if she had found evidence.
She said confidently, "See, you're not sure either."
After a pause, he softened his tone and said, "We are all parents, and we are worried about what is happening to our children."
"Besides, I didn't say anything. I just wanted Teacher Qi to go back and continue teaching Zhuzi and the others."
Aunt Cai was let off with just a few words by Zhuzi's mother, and for a moment she didn't know how to refute.
Xu Zhixia took a step forward and said coldly, "How could I not know that I want to teach the children foreign languages?"
"This subject... doesn't seem to be in the textbook?"
As soon as the words fell, the whole audience fell silent.
Everyone realized that from the beginning to the end, Xu Zhixia had never mentioned teaching students foreign languages.
So what are they coming here for this time...?
Xu Zhixia didn't pause and continued, "And I don't think foreign languages are bad things."
"Just because the situation outside is tense now, does that mean this is wrong?"
"As our country develops, communication with foreign countries is inevitable."
"Perhaps in the future, foreign languages will become an indispensable subject."
Not many of the military wives on the island were educated, so they were confused by what they heard.
She couldn't help but wonder in her heart, how could Xu Zhixia know what would happen in the future?
Zhuzi's mother's expression was even more obvious, with disdain almost overflowing from her eyes.
But she realized that she could not win the argument with Xu Zhixia.
He simply gave up and said, "Teacher Qi has taught my son Zhuzi for a long time. I just want Teacher Qi to go back."
"Xu Zhixia, you can't be so selfish. A substitute teacher wants to take Teacher Qi's position, right?"
Everyone looked at Xu Zhixia, their eyes scrutinizing her.
In the eyes of these uninformed people, Xu Zhixia's actions simply show that he is reluctant to give up his job as a teacher.
Xu Zhixia's face turned cold, and her patience had reached its limit.
Just as she was about to speak, a loud voice rang out: "Is Comrade Xu here?"
Looking over, I saw a soldier in uniform striding towards me.
Seeing Zhou An, he walked over and saluted: "Captain Zhou."
After Zhou An returned the gift, he asked, "What can I do for you?"
After the last mooncake sending incident, most people had heard of Captain Zhou’s daughter-in-law.
So the soldier recognized at a glance that the person standing next to Zhou An should be Xu Zhixia.
His expression became solemn and he saluted again.
He said, "Comrade Xu, thank you very much for your help."
"Without your translation, we would not have this important information."
"Now that the matter has come to an end, my leader asked me to take you to the army to present you with medals and awards."
As he said this, the scene fell into complete silence.
They were criticizing Xu Zhixia for speaking foreign languages one second, and the next second Xu Zhixia was being commended?
This face...why does it feel so hot and painful?
Xu Zhixia reacted and smiled faintly: "This is what I should do."
She turned around, her eyes fell on Teacher Qi, and said meaningfully: "It's just right, Teacher Qi is back, then please continue the class."
"Anyway...I don't think you all like me too much."
After a pause, he added, "Teacher Qi, please tell the principal."
"The last time he proposed that I become a regular employee, I still didn't consider it."
"My writing life is already very busy, and I have no plans to find a permanent job."
After saying this calmly, she followed the soldier away without looking back, and Zhou An followed closely behind.
The others looked at each other in bewilderment; no one had expected such an outcome.
A gloomy look flashed in Teacher Qi's eyes. This Xu Zhixia... was more difficult to deal with than he had imagined.
Facing Zhuzi Niang's expectant gaze, he gave her a distant smile: "Everyone, I'm not fully recovered yet, so I'll go back and rest first."
Zhuzi's mother was dumbfounded. She had offended Xu Zhixia, and Teacher Qi didn't appreciate it either. What was going on?
Not long after Xu Zhixia left, the others dispersed in shame.
They all regretted coming here today.
If translation can be recorded as military merit, then they would also want their children to learn it...
