In Xu's mother's opinion, Xu Zhixia's life is now relatively stable.
She didn't understand why Xu Zhixia still had to take the so-called college entrance examination.
If Xu Zhixia had not gotten married before, she would have agreed to let Xu Zhixia continue studying and take the college entrance examination.
But now...Xu Zhixia is already a mother of two children.
Xu Zhixia didn't say anything. She pursed her lips and looked at Xu's mother in silence.
Xu's mother subconsciously lowered her voice: "Xia Xia, Mom knows you like studying, but it depends on the situation, right?"
"Besides, Zhou An will be unhappy if you do this..."
Before he could finish his words, Zhou An, who had just returned home, heard them.
He took a step forward and said without hesitation: "Mom, don't worry about me."
"I will unconditionally support any decision Xia Xia makes."
Xu's mother was stunned. She didn't expect Zhou An to say that.
She changed the subject: "But Pingping and An'an..."
Xu Zhixia suddenly said, "Mom, if I don't want you to go to literacy class, will you agree?"
The words on Xu's mother's lips stopped abruptly.
She knew that she might agree, but she would also be unhappy.
Thousands of words turned into a silent sigh.
After a moment, her hoarse voice rang out: "You are old now, I can't control you anymore."
After saying this, she turned and left, her back looking a little hunched.
Xu Zhixia looked at Xu's mother's back and didn't come back to her senses for a long time.
There was a trace of confusion in her eyes. Was she really wrong?
At night, Xu Zhixia sat in the courtyard, staring at the starry sky in a daze.
She heard footsteps behind her, but she thought it was Zhou An and didn't turn around.
Until a familiar voice sounded: "Why don't you go back to bed?"
Xu Zhixia turned around and spoke subconsciously: "Mom."
Mother Xu pursed her lips, an unnatural look flashing in her eyes.
She sat next to Xu Zhixia and whispered, "It's not that Mom doesn't want you to go to college, I'm just afraid..."
The rest of the words were not spoken, but Xu Zhixia understood what she meant.
The turmoil in the Xu family has made it difficult for Xu's mother to calm down.
No one can guarantee that there will be no other changes after being admitted to university.
Realizing this, Xu Zhixia's expression softened.
She took Xu's mother's hand and said, "Mom, I know your concerns."
"But if you don't let me try, I really won't give up."
She spoke word for word, and no one would doubt the truth of her words.
An atmosphere of silence spread in the air and no one spoke for a while.
After an unknown amount of time, Xu's mother relented and said, "Then let's do as you wish."
"No matter what happens, Mom and Dad will cover you."
Xu Zhixia's eyes felt a little hot and she nodded heavily.
Once you have the support of your family, everything else becomes much easier.
Xu's mother is responsible for taking care of Ping'an, and when Zhou An comes back in the evening, she will also help.
As for Xu Zhixia...she was completely immersed in the rhythm of reviewing.
She organized the knowledge into a notebook, and handed the reviewed book and the notebook to Zhao Yue a week later.
Zhao Yue was very surprised when she received it: "Xia Xia, you are so amazing."
Xu Zhixia raised the corner of her mouth, revealing a faint smile: "If there is anything you don't understand, you can also write it down and ask me later."
Zhao Yue nodded solemnly. She was so lucky to have Xu Zhixia as a friend.
While Xu Zhixia and Zhao Yue were studying quietly, the wind direction outside changed drastically.
Only a few people realize this, and they go looking for high school textbooks inconspicuously.
Not long after, it was announced that the college entrance examination would be resumed.
Everyone was shocked, but at the same time, they happily prepared themselves.
But when they arrived at the bookstores, they were dumbfounded because there were no textbooks there at all.
Those who were quick-witted went to the scrap yard immediately.
But the books here are also good, they are all extremely worn.
Xu Zhixia didn't know all this because she was fully immersed in her review.
The turmoil outside had nothing to do with her and had no impact on her aunts.
Even if they take the college entrance examination in the future, it is not known how long it will take when their children grow up.
So no one knew that Xu Zhixia actually took the college entrance examination.
Political Commissar Zhou came to the office as usual and saw a guard standing at the door pacing back and forth.
He walked over and asked, "Why are you taking a walk outside my office so early in the morning?"
The guard saw his eyes light up and quickly said, "Political Commissar Zhou, this is bad."
"It says... our island has produced a provincial champion!"
Provincial number one? Political Commissar Zhou was momentarily stunned and almost thought he had misheard.
He knew that the college entrance examination had been resumed, but he never thought that it would be related to their island.
He said with a smile: "What a joke so early in the morning."
"Gaokao? What does that have to do with our army?"
The guard looked at him seriously, without any intention of joking.
The smile on Political Commissar Zhou's face suddenly froze, and an unbelievable guess came to his mind.
Can’t… is that true?
His voice couldn't stop trembling: "Who...is it?"
The guard smiled wryly and picked up the envelope in his hand: "Then we'll have to tell you."
Political Commissar Zhou took it and hurried into the office.
As soon as he sat down, he opened the envelope and read it quickly.
After a moment, he put the envelope on the table, breathed a sigh of relief, and the excitement in his eyes could not be controlled.
"Call Zhou An over to me," he ordered.
Zhou An was still in training when he learned the news.
Although confused, he still came to Political Commissar Zhou's office.
As soon as I entered the room, I heard Political Commissar Zhou's hearty laughter: "Zhou An, Zhou An, you've been hiding things from me for so long."
"If I hadn't been notified by the higher-ups, I wouldn't have known you gave me such a big surprise."
Zhou An frowned, not understanding what Political Commissar Zhou meant, so he simply asked directly.
Political Commissar Zhou was somewhat stunned and asked, "You didn't know that Comrade Xu was taking the college entrance examination?"
Zhou An realized that this was what he meant.
He nodded and said honestly, "I know about this."
After a pause, he added, "But I didn't ask too many questions."
Xia Xia passed the exam, which is a good thing worth celebrating.
If he fails the exam, he doesn't want to put too much pressure on Xia Xia.
Political Commissar Zhou's smile deepened. He pointed to the envelope on the table and said, "Take a look."
"Comrade Xu has brought honor to the military families of our island. He is the top scorer in the province, the only one of his kind!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou An's pupils suddenly contracted, and he felt sincerely happy for Xu Zhixia.
The corners of his mouth curled up uncontrollably, and he said, "Political Commissar Zhou, I'd like to ask for leave."
He couldn't wait to go back and tell Xu Zhixia the good news.
Political Commissar Zhou saw that he looked worthless, waved his hand with a smile, and agreed.
