五讲四美 (Wǔ Jiǎng Sì Měi) is a Chinese Communist Party slogan that emerged during the era of the People's Republic of China, particularly during the leadership of Deng Xiaoping in the late 1970s and early 1980s.

The "Five Emphases" are related to emphasizing learning, politics, culture, discipline, and ethics, while the "Four Beauties" pertain to socialist spiritual and material civilization, political and ideological civilization, and scientific and technological civilization.This was part of the Chinese Communist Party's efforts to promote comprehensive social development in China during that period.

The front page of the newspaper had a huge headline: China's first successful launch of XXX.

Chen Zhengnian's research had been kept a secret from everyone, except for his parents, who had some knowledge of it due to the military research institute being affiliated with their unit.

The rest of his relatives don't know anything, including the original owner.

But Chu Xia knows; she has memories from the book. So as soon as she saw this report, she knew that this was the result of Cen Zhengnian's team's research.

Even an ordinary person can't help but be excited when they see the progress of their country, not to mention that the person who did the research is also Chu Xia's nominal husband. Her feelings are both excited and admiring.

Cen Zhengnian's dedication to the country is really the kind that can be written into a textbook.

She calmed down before she started to read the report.

The news report only reported on the scientific research results. The scientist's name, where the research was conducted, and the scientific research institute were not written.

Chu Xia understands why this is so; it is all about confidentiality. Nowadays, scientists conduct their research incognito, and most of it will not be known until later in life.

After she finished reading, she folded the newspaper and put it away.

She had kept all the newspapers she had read before in a pile, but for this one, Chu Xia put them in a small wooden box.

Inside the wooden box, there are things that Chu Xia thinks will be useful in the future, such as stamps.

At this time, Chu Xia also knew why Cen Zhengnian didn't write. As the project reached its final stages, he must have been extremely busy, to the point that he might not even have seen her letters, let alone found time to reply.

Luckily, her life is not centered on Cen Zhengnian; otherwise, she would not be able to stand the constant lack of news for so long.

She neatly put away the newspaper and then put this matter out of her mind; Cen Huai'an didn't even know that Chu Xia had seen such a newspaper.

After all, it's confidential, and if she told Cen Huai'an, she couldn't explain how she knew about it.

"Mom, I'm going to do a good deed this week."

As soon as Cen Huai'an comes back from school on Monday, he says this to Chu Xia.

Chu Xia puts down the book in her hand and asks in confusion, "Why this week? Can't we do it next week? And good deeds aren't fixed. You bump into someone who needs help, so you go to help. How do you know that someone must need your help this week?"

Cen Huai'an's face shows a tangle. "Teacher said so; let's do one."

Chu Xia asks again, "Only let you guys do it? Did he ask you guys to write something?"

Cen Huai'an shakes his head and says, "No."

What Chu Xia thinks is also true: preschoolers only know a few words. Ah, she guesses the teacher is just setting a task.
