Chapter 86 One Hundred Jin of Food
A hint of ruthlessness flashed in Wang Zhuang's eyes, and no one could stop him.
Zhuzi's mother was stunned when she saw his expression, and a feeling of despair surged in her heart.
At this time, Xu Zhixia was unaware of the farce in the Wang family.
She discussed with Zhou An in the evening and decided to take out 100 kilograms of stored grain and donate it to the army canteen free of charge.
Zhou An looked surprised. He didn't expect Xu Zhixia to make such a decision.
After hesitating for a moment, he said, "If we really want to hand it over to the army for free, the others will definitely discuss it."
Xu Zhixia nodded. This was within her expectations.
But even if she didn't take out the food, would the discussion stop? The answer is no.
With the disturbance caused by Zhuzi's mother, even if other people don't say anything, they will still feel resentful.
The amount of food she took out just showed her attitude.
But there is no need to explain these words to Zhou An.
Xu Zhixia raised the corner of her mouth and revealed a faint smile: "I know."
"But everyone is worried right now. If giving out this food can give people peace of mind, then it's worth it."
Zhou An wanted to say something but stopped himself, and in the end all his words turned into a sigh.
He said, "I'll talk to Political Commissar Zhou tomorrow."
The next day, Zhou An came to the army and first found Political Commissar Zhou to explain the matter.
Political Commissar Zhou's eyes showed a hint of surprise, and he asked, "Did Comrade Xu really say that?"
Zhou An continued, "That's just the kind of person she is. She only wants to consider everyone."
Political Commissar Zhou remained silent for a long time, then let out a long sigh.
"She was the one who suggested stockpiling food, wasn't she?"
"I was too cautious. I should have stocked up more."
After a pause, he added, "We have received Comrade Xiao Xu's kindness. On behalf of the entire army, we thank her."
"But we don't need so much food. If you really want to, just take 50 kilograms."
Then he lowered his voice and continued, "There's news from above. This matter will be over soon."
Logically, he didn't need to accept Xu Zhixia's food, but doing so would give the Xu family an identity.
So after thinking about it, he still reminded.
Zhou An was not a fool, so he naturally understood the implication of Political Commissar Zhou's words.
He pursed his lips and thanked sincerely: "Uncle Zhou, thank you."
The smile on Political Commissar Zhou's face deepened and he patted Zhou An on the shoulder.
"Oh, there's one more thing."
"It seems your rating has changed."
He said meaningfully: "You really married a good wife."
A hint of surprise flashed in Zhou An's eyes. This was really a pleasant surprise for him.
It is not difficult to hear that this change is closely related to Xu Zhixia.
Political Commissar Zhou continued, "But don't tell anyone about this yet. Things that haven't been finalized are prone to change."
Zhou An naturally understood this logic and agreed.
When he got home in the evening, he told Xu Zhixia about this.
Xu Zhixia paused, walked in front of Zhou An, and looked up at him.
Zhou An's ears turned red under her gaze: "Xia Xia, why are you looking at me like that?"
Xu Zhixia raised the corner of her mouth and revealed a bright smile: "Look at how powerful my man is."
She stretched out her soft, boneless little hands and snuggled in Zhou An's arms.
Murmured: "Brother Zhou, you are awesome."
Zhou An's body stiffened, and even his breathing subconsciously became lighter.
He hugged Xu Zhixia and kissed her all over.
The result of wanton indulgence is that you don’t get up during the day.
Xu Zhixia smiled bitterly. Fortunately, Zhou An took the food away in the morning.
Otherwise, she wouldn't know what to do.
Xu Zhixia, who had just woken up, had no idea that her actions had caused an uproar on the island.
"Did you hear that Comrade Xu brought fifty kilograms of food to the canteen?"
"Good boy, I definitely wouldn't be willing to do that."
"Who said it wasn't? Comrade Xu is really generous."
"But this amount of food isn't enough for us, there are so many people on this island."
"You're out of date, aren't you? Political Commissar Zhou issued a notice a while ago, saying they'd already stockpiled food."
The sound of chattering could be heard from all over the island.
But coincidentally, the protagonist of the topic is Xu Zhixia.
Xu Zhixia made her presence felt this time.
But everyone only felt envy and admiration. After all, at this critical juncture, not everyone was willing to give up food.
All these sounds reached Xu's mother's ears, and her face was almost stiff from smiling all day.
Seeing Xu Zhixia, she couldn't help but jokingly said, "Isn't this our philanthropist?"
Xu Zhixia's face flushed red as she said coquettishly, "Mom, why are you teasing me with others?"
She had received many visiting aunts this afternoon, some bringing some vegetables, others some pickled vegetables, which made her feel helpless.
It was something she agreed to casually, but it brought her so much in return. She couldn't help but feel a warm feeling in her heart.
It was rare for Xu's mother to see Xu Zhixia with this expression, and a smile flashed in her eyes.
Afraid of making Xu Zhixia angry if she continued, she didn't continue the topic.
Changing the subject: "Xia Xia, you don't know, when I went to the literacy class today, other people looked at me differently."
"Many aunts have privately asked me how I raised such an outstanding daughter."
When she said this, the pride in her tone could not be controlled.
Thinking about the topics other people talked about when I first arrived on the island, and the change in their attitudes now.
All this is because her daughter Xia Xia is capable, which makes her feel sincerely proud.
Xu Zhixia smiled. When she mentioned the literacy class, she remembered another thing.
"Mom, how's the literacy class going lately?"
Mother Xu thought for a moment and said in confusion, "We've made great progress, but why are you asking this?"
Xu Zhixia had a big smile on her face because of the rising food prices, and there was a lot of talk on the island.
In this situation, there is no better solution than organizing a lively celebration.
Thinking of this, she said directly to Xu's mother: "Everyone was very nervous before. If we hold an entertainment event, I believe everyone will be very happy."
This is the truth, but will the leaders agree?
Xu's mother looked embarrassed and didn't say anything.
Xu Zhixia saw what she was thinking and patiently explained, "We are just giving a suggestion. The specific plan should be decided by the leaders."
But based on her understanding of the leaders, they should agree.
After she told Zhou An about this, she got Zhou An's approval.
"You're right. I think this kind of activity is positive and encouraging."
Zhou An nodded with a look of support.
Xu Zhixia raised the corners of her mouth, revealing a bright smile.
Things that I already had a clear idea of are now even clearer.
So she took the initiative to find Political Commissar Zhou and told him about this matter.
