Fortunately, we are divorced now, and we have escaped from the Feng family's hell.
Xu Zhixia joked, "When the time comes, please bring Zhaodi to my house. My two little ones will definitely be happy to have a sister."
A hint of warmth flashed in Feng Cuihua's eyes. She knew very well that Xu Zhixia said this just to take care of her.
She usually has to work in the cafeteria, and she is worried about leaving a child as young as Zhaodi alone at home.
She said she was playing with Xu Zhixia's child, but in fact, Xu Zhixia was helping to take care of Zhaodi.
She showed a grateful smile and said readily: "Then I won't be polite with you."
She was thinking in her heart what gift she could give Xu Zhixia to express her feelings.
When the group arrived at their destination, a familiar voice rang out: "Sister-in-law!"
Xu Zhixia looked over and saw Gangzi waving enthusiastically from a distance.
He ran over in two or three steps, showing a standard eight-tooth smile.
After greeting Xu's mother and the others, he got straight to the point: "Captain Zhou asked me to reserve a seat for you. Let's go."
Xu Zhixia was a little surprised, after all, Zhou An didn't say it yesterday.
This man really does things without saying anything.
She felt a little helpless, but she didn't show it on her face.
Although family members are allowed to watch the military parade, there is no dedicated viewing platform.
They all brought benches and formed a circle around.
Gangzi led Xu Zhixia and the others to a secluded spot and whispered, "Don't underestimate this ordinary place. Captain Zhou has already marked it out. We will pass by here during the inspection."
"This has the fewest people and the best view."
Xu Zhixia naturally had no doubt about Gangzi's words and thanked him, "Comrade, thank you for your trouble."
Gangzi smiled embarrassedly: "This is what I should do. If it weren't for my sister-in-law, my brother would not be in such a good situation now."
Because Gangzi was also going to participate in the military inspection soon, he said goodbye to Xu Zhixia without saying a few words and left in a hurry.
Xu Zhixia sat in the middle, with Xu's mother on the left and Zhou's mother on the right. They chatted while waiting for the military inspection meeting to begin.
I don’t know how long it took, but a loud military song rang out.
Xu Zhixia straightened his expression, looked into the distance, and saw a neat team.
Those who have never participated in a military parade cannot experience the excitement.
Xu Zhixia's eyes lit up and she immediately saw Zhou An at the front of the team.
The soldiers were all dressed the same, but Zhou An was still the most eye-catching one.
Unlike his usual self at home, he is now showing his edge.
Only when he saw Xu Zhixia did he soften his expression.
Xu Zhixia's heart couldn't help but beat faster, as if it was about to jump out of his chest.
Zhou An like this... made her unable to look away.
She didn't come back to her senses for a long time until the team walked away.
"As expected of Zhou An, this style is one of the best."
Xu's mother couldn't help but sigh.
A hint of pride flashed in Zhou's mother's eyes, and she nodded in agreement.
Xu's mother jokingly said, "Didn't you see Xia Xia's eyes were wide open?"
A blush welled up on Xu Zhixia's face, spreading all the way to her ears.
The dead duck said stubbornly: "Looking straight? I didn't, it's just that the team is too imposing."
Zhou's mother watched with a smile, seeing through everything but not saying anything.
Xu Zhixia used her hands as a small fan and fanned her face.
It's winter, why is it a bit hot?
As the name suggests, the military inspection meeting allows leaders to see the soldiers' training results for a year.
It was over in just one morning.
When Xu Zhixia, Xu's mother and others were about to go back, a burst of hurried footsteps was heard.
Xu Zhixia looked over and saw Zhou An striding towards him.
"Xia Xia, we have a meeting this afternoon, do you want to come and see it?"
Zhou An said seriously, with a hint of imperceptible expectation in his eyes.
Xu Zhixia hesitated: "Is this convenient?"
Zhou An nodded without hesitation: "You can bring some family members."
Xu Zhixia looked at Zhou's mother, and Zhou's mother said sympathetically: "We won't go. We've been here all morning, so we can go back and have a good rest at noon."
"Xia Xia, are you tired? If you are, let's go back together."
Xu Zhixia understood the hidden meaning behind Zhou's mother's words and after hesitating for a moment, she said, "I want to go and take a look."
First, she was curious about what would be discussed at the afternoon meeting, and second,... Zhou An was so dazzling now that she couldn't take her eyes off him.
After hearing what Xu Zhixia said, Xu's mother, Zhou's mother and their group went back first.
Xu Zhixia followed Zhou An to the army cafeteria.
Xu Zhixia had eaten in the cafeteria quite a lot during the long time he had been on the island, but most of the time he would fight back.
This is the first time I’ve eaten in the cafeteria.
Zhou An knew her taste very well. He went to the cafeteria window, ordered two dishes, and brought them back.
Xu Zhixia's eyes lit up. She didn't expect that there would be cabbage stewed with tofu today.
This is her favorite flavor since she became pregnant.
Especially when you add some dried shrimps to the cabbage stewed with tofu, it is so delicious that people can swallow their saliva.
Xu Zhixia took a deep breath and narrowed her eyes in satisfaction.
She asked casually, "What's your afternoon meeting about?"
If it were normal, Zhou An would tell her directly,
But this time he kept it a secret: "You'll know when you get back."
Xu Zhixia felt curious, but did not ask any further questions.
After dinner, Zhou An took her directly to the conference room.
This place is in a stepped style and can accommodate hundreds of people.
Zhou An brought her to a seat near the front row, settled her down and sat next to her.
The two of them chatted back and forth, but they didn't feel bored.
Before we knew it, the whole afternoon had passed and other people arrived one after another.
Similar to Zhou An, he also brought his family with him.
The young wives all had proud expressions on their faces, which made Xu Zhixia even more curious.
When most people had arrived, the leader also came slowly.
Two of them were Xu Zhixia's acquaintances, Political Commissar Zhou and Wu Zhengguo.
They didn't seem surprised to notice her here.
He gave a faint smile as a greeting.
A bold guess emerged in Xu Zhixia's mind and did not dissipate for a long time.
But she soon realized that her guess was right.
Wu Zhengguo came on stage first to speak, holding a big loudspeaker.
He cleared his throat and said, "This military inspection meeting was very successful."
"Our island warriors have an outstanding spirit..."
The following words were nothing more than some polite remarks, and Xu Zhixia felt drowsy after listening to them.
Fortunately, after that, we can get straight to the point.
"Now, let me announce the list of comrades who have been promoted."
Even though he had guessed it, Xu Zhixia still paused.
Thinking of Zhou An’s expectations just now, she had a premonition that Zhou An’s name would be on the list.
