Coming out of Political Commissar Zhou’s office, Xu Zhixia was in a good mood.
On the way home, a sweet female voice sounded.
"Are you Captain Zhou's lover?"
She paused, subconsciously turned around, and saw a familiar face.
It was at the literacy campaign celebration banquet that the female soldier who led the art troupe appeared.
If she remembered correctly, her name should be...Chu Huanhuan?
In just a few seconds, several ideas popped up in Xu Zhixia's mind.
But she didn't show it on the surface, and showed a gentle smile: "Comrade Chu, what do you want to talk to me about?"
When Chu Huanhuan met Xu Zhixia's eyes, she felt as if her heart was being scratched by a kitten.
Her ears turned red and she stammered, "I...I just came to see you."
She fell in love with Zhou An at first sight and launched a fierce pursuit of him.
But Zhou An kept rejecting her because he had someone in his heart.
Chu Huanhuan has had a smooth life and has gotten everything she wanted.
Even though I no longer had any feelings for Zhou An, I still felt a little resentful.
I want to see what kind of woman Zhou An chose to reject her.
After watching it today...ahem, it's just okay.
If you ignore her shy face, it really does look like that.
Xu Zhixia couldn't help laughing out loud because she thought the girl in front of her was particularly cute.
She could feel that Chu Huanhuan and the previous Shen Jiaojiao were completely two different people.
She took a step forward and said jokingly, "Now that you've seen it, how do you feel?"
Chu Huanhuan's eyes were wandering, and she didn't dare to look her in the eye.
Just as Xu Zhixia was waiting for her answer, she gritted her teeth and ran away.
Looking at her fleeing back, Xu Zhixia blinked.
After realizing what was happening, the smile on his face grew even wider.
This Chu Huanhuan... is so interesting.
When I got home, Xu's mother was sitting in the yard picking vegetables.
She told this to Xu's mother as a joke. Xu's mother put down the basin in her hand and frowned.
She hesitated for a moment and said tentatively: "Xia Xia, Zhou An is so outstanding, he must have a lot of girls around him, right?"
"Have you ever asked...about his past relationships?"
Xu Zhixia paused. She had indeed never asked Zhou An this question.
After all, she once had a Gu Yan, so she didn't seem to have the right to ask these questions.
Although she thought so in her heart, she felt uncomfortable.
An atmosphere of silence spread in the air and no one spoke for a while.
After an unknown amount of time, Father Xu came out of the study and asked in confusion, "What are you doing?"
Mother Xu came back to her senses, picked up the basin of vegetables, and said with a smile: "Look at me, I forgot everything. I'll go cook first."
"Xia Xia, remember what mom told you, if you can't figure it out, just ask."
After she finished speaking, she hurried away.
Xu Zhixia held her chin with both hands and sighed helplessly.
Her mother said it was simple, how can she ask this question?
Confused, Mr. Xu walked over to Xu Zhixia and sat in the rocking chair next to him.
Shaking slowly, with dull eyes.
Xu Zhixia regained consciousness and looked at his father, asking, "Dad, what's wrong with you lately?"
Compared with her mother's recent high spirits, Xu's father has been much quieter these two days.
Others didn't seem to notice it, but Xu Zhixia saw it at a glance.
Father Xu was stunned for a moment, then forced a smile and waved his hand: "What can happen to me? I'm doing fine."
Xu Zhixia frowned and looked at him in silence.
Under his daughter's gaze, Mr. Xu was the first to give in and soften his tone, "I just feel... it's a little meaningless."
A hint of confusion flashed in his eyes, and he said, "Seeing your mother find a job that suits her, I am really happy for her."
"But thinking about myself." He paused and smiled bitterly, "I don't know what I can do."
A complex emotion appeared on Xu Zhixia's face. It turned out that this was the reason why Xu's father was depressed recently.
An idea flashed through her mind, and she asked tentatively: "Dad, have you ever thought about finding a job?"
Father Xu nodded, then shook his head: "I've been asking around recently, and there's almost no job on this island that's suitable for me."
The Xu family can be called capitalists, so their background is naturally self-evident.
What Mr. Xu learned from childhood to university was new knowledge, but as for the skills to make a living... he had almost none.
On this island, there are only a few places where knowledge is needed.
Even if there is, there are special soldiers to take charge of it.
Xu Zhixia's lips curled up into a smile: "What if I say there is someone suitable for you?"
Father Xu looked at Xu Zhixia with some doubts.
Half an hour later, the father and daughter arrived at the school.
Looking at the familiar place in front of him, Xu Zhixia felt a little nostalgic.
It happened to be lunch time, so she took Mr. Xu directly to the principal's office.
After knocking on the door in front of me, almost the next second, a voice came from inside saying "Come in".
Xu Zhixia and Xu's father walked in one after another.
The principal was looking down at the documents in his hand. When he heard the voice, he looked up and was stunned when he saw that it was Xu Zhixia.
Then he smiled brightly: "Teacher Xu, how come you have time to come here today?"
Xu Zhixia and her father sat across from the principal and got straight to the point: "Principal, I'd like to ask if our school is still short of teachers?"
Hearing this, the principal's eyes lit up.
Ever since Teacher Qi left, the primary school teachers have been too busy.
It’s not that he hadn’t thought about bringing Xu Zhixia back, but when he confronted Zhuzi’s mother before, Xu Zhixia’s words were too absolute.
Based on his understanding of Xu Zhixia, Xu Zhixia would most likely not agree.
"Teacher Xu, have you changed your mind?" The principal leaned forward slightly and asked expectantly.
But to his disappointment, Xu Zhixia shook his head.
After a pause, he continued, "But I can introduce someone to you. What do you think of my dad?"
The principal turned to look at Mr. Xu, his eyes half-closed, and a scrutinizing gaze fell on him.
"Hello, Comrade Xu." He nodded slightly and greeted him.
Father Xu's body was tense and he was obviously very nervous.
But even so, his back remained straight.
He gave a humble smile: "Hello."
The principal asked directly, "I wonder if you have ever taught students before?"
Father Xu hesitated for a moment and slowly shook his head.
He took a deep breath and said sincerely, "To be honest, I'm not sure if I'm qualified for this job."
This surprised the principal a little. Since everyone came here, they must want this job.
Not only did Mr. Xu not recommend himself, but he also... said these words that seemed to be a sign of retreat.
He remained silent, wanting to see what else Xu's father would say.
As soon as the words came out, Mr. Xu felt much more relaxed.
He spoke with all his might, his eyes flashing with determination: "But I am willing to keep learning. If possible, please give me a chance."
