Chapter 314: Born in a Good Era
Because today is the reason for the parent-teacher meeting, there are a lot of vehicles parked at the school gate, all kinds of brands, and the prices are also uneven, probably all of them are the parents of the students, which makes me have to sigh that the children of today are really born in a very good era, and they are lucky to be born in such a family.
When I was a child, in the early 90s, the whole country was not particularly wealthy, basically everyone was out of a level of food and clothing, and even many people in the countryside did not have enough food and clothing, because of the opening of the country's nine-year compulsory education policy, our generation was able to enter the classroom and get close to the opportunity of knowledge.
At that time, the children were very simple, and many children loved to learn and cherished this hard-won learning opportunity.
I still remember when I was a preschooler, because back then, there were no nurseries and kindergartens like now, and those were all places where money was charged, and my family didn't have the money to send me there to play with other children and study together.
At that time, I basically spent time at home, and during the day, the elders in the family went out to work to earn money, and I stayed at home alone, without crying or making trouble, and I was very obedient.
When other children go to school, I wait for them to come back, and when they come back from school, they share with me the interesting things that happened to them at school.
The happiest thing I do every day is to wait until they get out of school so I don't have to be alone. The elders in the family were very relieved that I was alone, because they thought that I would not do anything bad, and they had never understood my inner world.
Later, when I finally reached the age of going to school, although it was said that there was no tuition for nine years of compulsory education, the food expenses in school were also a lot of expenses, and my family couldn't even take out this money.
In the end, it was with the help of the villagers that they raised donations for me to collect the money for books and food, and I had the opportunity to go to school.
Because of the reason that I go to school later than others, my farewell to you continues to be unsatisfactory, which is also the most inferior thing in my heart. I know that this learning opportunity was not easy to come by, but the results of each exam were always unsatisfactory.
Recalling my miserable childhood, I never seemed to have the opportunity to compete fairly with others, and later I heard that the college entrance examination can change my fate, and it is also the only fair competition opportunity without looking at my face or family background, so I chose to continue studying and take the college entrance examination without hesitation.
Although I didn't do very well in the exam, at least it gave me the opportunity to go out of the mountain village to the metropolis, and it was this opportunity that completely changed my fate, I don't have to be like other rural people, I have never left home in my life, I don't know how wonderful the outside world is, and I have never experienced the prosperity of the metropolis in my life.
Maybe it was because I was thinking too much, Xiaoxue and Yang Shu chatted hotly on the side, and found that I was a little dull and didn't speak, so the two of them focused on me.
"What are you thinking?" was the low and gentle voice of the poplar, who couldn't help but ask me when he saw that I had been silent for a long time, as if he was in deep thought.
"Oh, it's nothing, I just think that this generation of children are so happy, there are such favorable conditions to study, and it is really lucky to have parents and teachers to escort them. "Now I am basically a transparent person in front of Yang Shu, and my secrets seem to be seen through at a glance by him, so I don't intend to lie to him.
"Hehe, the children now are the jewels in the palms of their parents, and they are all the little princesses and princes, who come to the house to reach out for food and open their mouths, how can there be any reason to be unhappy. "Poplar, like me, is also a person who has suffered a lot, and the shadow of childhood can really affect a person's life, so Poplar understands the pain in my heart very well.
"Alas, we can only say that we are not so lucky, born in an era of poverty and hardship, if we were half as lucky, it is estimated that we would not have borne so many ......" Speaking of which, I glanced at the poplar tree, and I saw that he was also thinking about something.
Okay, I'll admit I'm more sensitive, but Poplar seems to be a very sensitive person, isn't it that my words just brought back some unhappy memories for him.
Since that's the case, then let's stop dwelling on this issue and we can talk about a little fun topic.
The three of us are now standing under a big tree, today's weather is very good, and the parents who came to the meeting are all full of red light, after all, this is the first parent-teacher meeting of their children's primary school days, which is very memorable.
A happy little couple walked in front of us with their children, and the children held their parents by the hands, happily walking on the road, like a little angel, with wings on their backs, as if they were about to fly to the sky in the next second.
I paid attention, and sure enough, everyone came as a family, so I can only say that the parent-teacher meeting picked a good time, and everyone was free on Saturday.
The little girl didn't understand what we were talking about, and she hadn't experienced that era, such a feeling of loneliness and helplessness.
I really think this is a very lucky thing, I am happy for her, Xiaoxue is my dearest dearest, of course I hope that she can be happy and happy in this life, and I don't want her beautiful life to be mixed with any meaning of bad luck and misfortune.
This is the best wish and the least guarantee for a mother to her child.
"Mommy, let's go, the other children have brought their parents into the auditorium and taken their seats, let's go over too." The little girl can't wait, this is the first time she has participated in such a large-scale parent-teacher conference, and she is the protagonist.
As soon as the words fell, before we could reply, the little girl couldn't wait to pull me and Yang Shu forward together, and she dragged the two of us in the middle and walked in the direction of the auditorium.
"Dear parents, dear students, please take your seats according to the names on the seats, thank you for your cooperation. ”
As soon as the three of us arrived in the auditorium, we heard a host on the stage shouting there, the order below was not very neat, the parents and children who came early were chatting happily below, and the host emphasized the discipline several times, so some people shut up.
The poplar pulled Xiaoxue and me, and we shuttled through the noisy crowd, looking for our place.
The students and parents who came today were a little excited, everyone was happily chatting with the people around us, and we finally found our place through the crowd.
Sitting in her seat, Xiaoxue was a little excited, and kept looking around, as if she was looking for something.
After a while, Xiaoxue was a little lonely that she didn't find the person she was looking for, but the little girl quickly adjusted her mood.
The parent-teacher meeting officially began, all the people below were quiet, the parent-teacher meeting was divided into three parts, the first part was the student representative speech, the speaker on the stage was a familiar little boy, the second part was to praise the very good children, Xiaoxue was on the list, and the third part was parent-child interaction and playing games.
I watched it for a while before I remembered that the little boy who spoke seemed to be Xiaoxue's tablemate, the child named Liu Haoyu.
When playing the game in the last session, Xiaoxue had a good time, and Yang Shu took her to play a shooting game together, and the "father and daughter" cooperated very well, scoring several layups, and the whole process echoed with the cheerful laughter of the two.
After the whole game, Yang Shu and Xiaoxue were sweating profusely, and I couldn't help but feel happy for them when I watched them have so much fun.
At about 11 o'clock in the afternoon, the parent-teacher conference ended, and the two-hour parent-teacher meeting ended, and everyone left the campus one after another.
"Mommy, what do you think of my performance today? Sitting in the car, Xiaoxue hasn't recovered from the fun of the game, it seems that the little girl is really having fun today.
"Well, that's great, why didn't I find out that your motor nerves are so developed before, it seems that I can cultivate your potential in this area in the future." Hehe. I replied to Xiaoxue's question and said.
Xiaoxue and I chatted happily along the way, and the poplar trees on the side just watched us quietly, occasionally interjecting a sentence or two, and sometimes being amused by Xiaoxue.
Talking and laughing along the way, soon the little girl felt hungry, too, four or five hours had passed since breakfast, and besides, they had played such a physically demanding game just now, so Yang Shu and Xiaoxue should be hungry at this time.
Poplar drove the car, we found a good looking shop on the side of the road, to relieve the "urgent need" that the blood tank was empty, it was time to eat at noon, and we had not been to this place much before, so there were many people in the restaurant, and the speed of ordering was also a little slow.
The three of us waited boredly, and the long serving time almost exhausted the last of our energy.
In the free time of waiting, I remembered that I had agreed with Liu Xixi that we would visit my uncle and aunt together in the evening.
So I dialed Liu Xixi's phone, the phone rang several times, and then Liu Xixi's voice came from there, "Hey?" It sounds like he is working, and it seems that Liu Xixi at work is really a workaholic.
"What are you up to? How are you doing this weekend?" I asked, hearing the sound of flipping through documents on the other end of the phone.
