Chapter 49 Xia Xia, are you okay?
At this time, Xu Zhixia didn't know what others were thinking, but even if she knew, she wouldn't care.
I thought it would be Political Commissar Zhou who would contact her this time, but I didn't expect that when I arrived at Political Commissar Zhou's office, there was a strange man there.
He looked to be in his fifties, and his smile was very kind, which made her feel close to him involuntarily.
Hearing the door open, Political Commissar Zhou stood up and introduced, "This is..."
Just as he started to speak, he was interrupted by the man: "My last name is Wu, Comrade Xu, just call me Uncle Wu."
Political Commissar Zhou paused but did not refute.
Xu Zhixia seemed to be lost in thought. Judging from Political Commissar Zhou's attitude, this so-called Uncle Wu should have a much higher status than him.
However, since the other party had no intention of revealing his identity, she did not pursue the matter further.
He quickly accepted the title and said politely, "Uncle Wu."
Seeing Xu Zhixia's frank look, Wu Zhengguo's eyes flashed with admiration.
He got straight to the point: "We have reported your contribution, and the superiors have decided to award you a third-class merit."
"Besides that, there are some material rewards, and I'll have someone help you move."
Xu Zhixia was surprised. Although the third-class merit did not seem high, she learned about the comprehensive level from Zhou An after joining the army.
For someone outside the military to receive this title, it can be said that the military is very generous.
Seeing Xu Zhixia remain silent, Wu Zhengguo was not surprised.
Xu Zhixia's help with translation solved the urgent problem.
Combined with the important information obtained later, it would not be an exaggeration to give him a second-class merit.
But she was not a member of the army after all, so her superiors weighed the pros and cons before agreeing to give her the third grade.
But...in addition to this, there will also be some rewards for Zhou An, but there is no need to talk about this now.
Xu Zhixia readily agreed, and her mood improved a lot since she encountered Zhuzi's mother and her men causing trouble early in the morning.
But at this time, the mood of others... was not so good.
When Teacher Qi returned home, the smile he had forced out outside completely disappeared.
His face was gloomy, giving people a chill.
He closed the doors and windows, then took out a small telegraph from under the bed.
After installing a special signal device, a message is sent in secret code.
[Translation problem occurred on the island, please resolve it as soon as possible. 】
After doing all this, he hid the telegraph again and breathed a sigh of relief.
Xu Zhixia, right? He remembered.
At noon, Zhou An returned home and Xu Zhixia told him what happened in the morning.
Zhou An was not surprised and nodded to indicate that he understood.
Xu Zhixia hesitated for a moment, then tentatively asked, "Those people this morning said I wasn't good at speaking foreign languages... What do you think?"
Although in her opinion, knowing Su language is not a big deal.
But she couldn't guarantee that Zhou An thought the same way.
If Zhou An had a grudge against her because of this incident, then she would...
Before Xu Zhixia could continue thinking, Zhou An said, "I think what you said makes a lot of sense."
His tone was calm, but the sincerity in his voice couldn't help but overflow.
It can be heard that he did not say this to please Xu Zhixia.
Xu Zhixia blinked, her heart swelling as if something was about to burst out of the ground.
She lowered her eyes, hiding the emotions in them, and a subtle smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
He is indeed the man she likes.
The commotion caused by Zhuzi's mother and her men in the morning made Xu Zhixia decide to resign completely.
This is also something she has been thinking about for a long time during this period.
A person's energy is limited, and she spent a lot of effort on preparing lessons.
Besides, now that Teacher Qi is back, she doesn't want to cause any trouble.
When she thought of Teacher Qi, her brows furrowed involuntarily.
Her intuition told her that it would be best not to get too close to Teacher Qi.
Since she had made the decision, she went to see the principal in the afternoon and asked him to stop substituting for her.
The principal looked regretful and said, "Teacher Xu, your abilities are obvious to everyone."
"Even if Teacher Qi comes back, it won't prevent you from continuing your duties."
"It's just one more teacher. I still have the ability."
Xu Zhixia gave an apologetic smile: "Sorry, Principal, I'm not interested in this."
The principal tried to persuade her a few more times, and seeing that she really had no intention of continuing to be a teacher, she reluctantly agreed.
Xu Zhixia breathed a sigh of relief, but after walking out of the school, she was blocked by a group of people again.
She frowned, feeling a surge of irritation in her heart.
But she still managed to hold her temper and said, "I have resigned from my job as a substitute teacher. From now on, Teacher Qi will continue to be in charge of your children."
Unexpectedly, as soon as she finished speaking, the leading woman panicked.
She took a step forward and said with a wry smile, "Teacher Xu, you misunderstood what we meant."
"We have no objection to you being a teacher."
"In the morning, it was Zhuzi's mother who started the trouble, and we followed her without knowing why."
"If you ask me, you are much more responsible than Teacher Qi. We are relieved to have a teacher like you..."
She praised him non-stop, not at all like the person who had just joined Zhuzi's mother in denouncing Xu Zhixia.
Xu Zhixia looked at him calmly, without saying a word, with no ripples in his heart.
She didn't blame these people and Zhuzi's mother for causing trouble for her, because most people are simply fools.
But...that doesn't mean she will forgive these people.
She smiled and said politely, "I'm sorry, I've already told the principal."
"Teacher Qi has taken good care of your children in the past, and I believe there will be no problems in the future."
After saying this, she strode away without caring about other people's reactions.
Only those who are left are left with regret, but it is too late.
After no longer having to go to class, Xu Zhixia had a lot of free time and devoted all his attention to the manuscript.
Because of Haohao, she did not move in with Zhou An.
Perhaps due to her irregular sleep and rest schedule, her period came particularly violently this time.
When Zhou An came back in the evening, he found the house empty.
A sense of doubt arose in his heart. Usually at this time, Xu Zhixia would lie on a recliner in the yard.
There was a slight sound in his ears, and he half-closed his eyes.
Subconsciously, I slowed down my steps and walked upstairs carefully.
He came to the door of Xu Zhixia's room, pushed it open suddenly, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.
I thought it was a thief, but I only saw a small bulge on the bed.
He asked tentatively: "Xia Xia?"
Xu Zhixia groaned, his mind going blank.
A sharp pain came over her, turning her face pale and she couldn't utter a word.
Zhou An realized that something was wrong with her and was about to ask what was going on when he smelled a slight smell of blood.
He paused, guessing something in his mind.
