"Hold a celebration party?" Political Commissar Zhou seemed to be thinking about something, but did not refuse immediately.
Xu Zhixia held the teacup in both hands, eyes lowered, knowing in her heart that this matter would probably succeed.
After all, the leaders certainly want to change the current depressed atmosphere more than she does, and literacy is a good reason.
As Xu Zhixia expected, Political Commissar Zhou also thought this was a good idea.
He was just thinking about how big this celebration party should be.
After all, this matter is very educational and also a kind of publicity for their island.
He thought for a moment and looked at Xu Zhixia: "Comrade Xiao Xu, your suggestion is very good. I will consider it carefully."
Xu Zhixia remained unfazed by the honor or disgrace, nodding slightly: "The success of the literacy class depends entirely on everyone's efforts."
"It's just that the atmosphere has been a bit down lately, and there should be some activities like this. I'm just making a small suggestion."
Political Commissar Zhou's eyes flashed with admiration, and he couldn't help but say, "Zhou An is so lucky to have a wife like you."
Xu Zhixia was stunned for a moment, a tenderness appeared on her face, and she said softly: "It is my blessing to meet him."
Looking at the beautiful face in front of him, Political Commissar Zhou felt a genuine sense of envy.
Apart from anything else, Zhou An’s wife is really amazing.
Xu Zhixia originally thought that it would take some time to apply for holding a literacy celebration party.
But she didn't expect that Political Commissar Zhou's speed was even faster than she imagined.
Just two or three days later, a notice was issued to hold a celebration banquet for the literacy campaign.
I heard from Xu's mother that the higher-level leaders will also come to attend.
"I heard from Sister Cai that the leaders will also award prizes to the comrades with the best performance."
Xu's mother spoke, her eyes filled with worry.
"Xia Xia, what do you think if the leader thinks my teaching is not good enough?"
Xu Zhixia was at a loss for words. Her mother rarely looked so unconfident.
She quickly comforted him, "Mom, everyone sees your efforts."
"Besides, if we hadn't gotten the approval from the leadership, we wouldn't have held a celebration banquet, right?"
Xu's mother knew that what Xu Zhixia said made sense, but she still couldn't help but worry.
Xu Zhixia saw this anxious look, but could do nothing about it.
Fortunately, the preparation time for the celebration party was not long and the day came quickly.
Xu's mother changed clothes one after another, but still felt unsatisfied.
"Xia Xia, what do you think of Mom's outfit?"
Xu Zhixia put down the pen in his hand and looked over helplessly.
Xu's mother was wearing a dark blue work suit and looked to be in her early thirties.
Although wrinkles at the corners of her eyes are still faintly visible, a sentence comes to mind when people see her: time never defeats beauty.
Xu Zhixia wanted to persuade Xu's mother not to worry too much, but swallowed the words back.
After all, she had tried to persuade her many times in the past few days, but Xu's mother simply wouldn't listen.
She simply changed the subject: "Mom, today is the celebration party for the literacy campaign."
"It's just literacy. You're not the main character, so don't worry too much."
Xu's mother was stunned for a moment, then she thought so too.
Even if the leader gave out awards, they would be given to the military families on the island and had nothing to do with her.
If it were anyone else, they would probably be disappointed.
But Xu's mother was relieved and looked much more relaxed.
After choosing her favorite outfit, she walked towards the venue with Xu Zhixia and Xu's mother.
In fact, Mr. Xu didn't want to go at first. Since arriving on the island, he rarely went out.
But after Xu Zhixia persuaded him, he decided to come and see the fun.
After all, even with Xu's mother around, he spent most of his time alone.
Although I didn't say it, I still wanted to make some old friends.
The group arrived at the venue, and quite a few people were already there.
Xu Zhixia came to the location Zhou An told her and found that it was still in the first two rows.
The seats in the first row were still empty, obviously reserved for the leaders.
Mr. and Mrs. Xu were a little nervous and hesitated to sit down.
Xu Zhixia didn't think too much about it and just pulled them to sit down.
When the other aunts saw Xu's mother coming, they all came over to say hello.
If it weren't for Xu's mother, they wouldn't be able to read, let alone have the glorious moment they have today.
That’s right, today is a special day for all the aunts present.
They are not happy for their husbands and sons, but simply for themselves.
When they thought that their superiors would come to present the awards, they all became excited.
My God, if they win the award, they can brag about it for the rest of their lives.
The main purpose of this celebration banquet is to find an excuse for the soldiers and their families to get together and relax.
As for the final award ceremony, Political Commissar Zhou had already asked Xu's mother for the list.
There are prizes for the best students, the most diligent students, the students who make the most progress, etc.
Although they are not worth much money, they are a token of thought and an affirmation.
I heard that people from the art troupe were invited to perform singing and dancing.
I don’t know what others think, but Xu Zhixia is looking forward to it.
Unlike usual, all the aunts' spirits and demeanors had changed.
They gathered in groups of two or three, chatting and laughing happily.
Xu Zhixia looked at this scene, with the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
Although many people there were hostile to her, she knew that it was all due to their lack of knowledge.
Thinking back...she had done something stupid like this before.
She had just come out of her own thoughts when she noticed the lonely look on Mr. Xu's face.
Her heart moved, and she suddenly remembered that she had ignored Xu's father during this period of time.
A vague thought came to her mind that Xu's mother had a stable job and was highly trusted on the island.
