Chapter 42: Parent-Teacher Conferences
On Friday afternoon, Qingzi and Junko had a half-day class for a parent-teacher conference. Yu Sheng, as their parents, led Yunier to school with them, and received some amazing glances as soon as they entered the classroom.
This is the parent of a classmate, a rare person.
Qingzi and Junzi have different tables, one in front and one in the back. Both children wanted their aunt to sit in their place, and they quarreled about it.
Sang Qing: "This is my aunt, so you should sit on my side." β
Junko was not to be outdone: "This is also my aunt, why don't you sit on my side." β
Sang Qing: "This is my own aunt!" β
Junko: "My aunt is here to hold a parent-teacher conference for me on behalf of my grandmother!" β
Sang Qing emphasized word by word: "You can figure it out, my aunt is here to hold a parent-teacher conference for me, just by the way, on behalf of your grandmother, I will hold a parent-teacher meeting for you!" β
"You two don't have to go on and on." Yu Sheng spoke, "I see that parents sit casually. You both sit down with me, don't run around, and listen to what the teacher has to say later. β
Yu Sheng took Winier to an empty seat in the last row. Aoko sat in the middle and hugged Yuniel on her lap. Junko sat on the very edge, and when he sat down, he deliberately squeezed Qingzi.
Mr. Deng, the head teacher, took the roster into the classroom and glanced at the seat with his back to the asphalt-colored blackboard, faintly showing a look of worry. Looking at the absence, I know that there are still some parents who did not come, and I am afraid that they will not come.
The rate of children in rural areas going on to higher education is the most worrying.
I am afraid that after the final exam of the primary school, the students with poor family conditions will drop out of school directly at home.
After a while, Teacher Deng began to name him: "Are Sang Qing's parents here?" β
"It's coming, it's coming!" Sang Qing excitedly pointed to Yu Sheng next to him.
Teacher Deng bowed slightly to Yu Sheng and continued to roll call.
Sang Qing whispered to Yu Sheng: "Auntie, do you see it, the roster in Teacher Deng's hand, the names on it are all ranked according to academic performance." I'll put one on the table. He glanced at Shunzi angrily, "Auntie, you see, the teacher hasn't read Shunzi's name for a long time." β
It can be seen that Junko's academic performance is not good - his last sentence is nothing more than to express this.
Junko was annoyed and whispered, "That roster is from hundreds of years ago!" If you change to a new one, you may not be the first one. I don't necessarily have to leave it behind. Mr. Deng also said that I had made great progress that day! Did Mr. Deng praise you so much? β
Aoko: "I'm already number one, where can I improve?" β
"Shh Yu Sheng asked them to be quiet.
Winier also put her little finger to her mouth and shushed as her aunt did.
Teacher Deng finally clicked on Shunzi: "Are Yao Shun's parents here?" β
Before Junzi and Yu Sheng could respond, a loud voice appeared at the door of the classroom:
"It's coming, it's coming. Yao Shun's parents are here. β
Seeing the person who came into the classroom, Sang Qing's brows furrowed, "Why are you Uncle Baowen here?" β
Junko looked confused, "I don't know." β
It was Sang Baowen who came.
Teacher Deng invited Sang Baowen to come in and sit down.
Sang Baowen glanced at the door of the classroom, and then went straight to Yu Sheng, and wanted to drive Shunzi down.
Sang Qing grabbed the straight and didn't let him go.
Junzi pointed to the vacant seat next door and said to Sang Baowen, "Uncle, you sit there." β
Sang Baowen couldn't resist the child, so he had to sit down in a daze, and looked at Yu Sheng from time to time, and every time he looked over, he could look at Sang Qing with a tiger's eye.
After the roll call, Mr. Deng said on the podium:
"Many of the students' parents didn't come, so they still don't seem to worry. In this parent-teacher conference, I mainly want to talk to parents about one thing - junior high school. It's April. In two or three months, the students in this class will say goodbye to me. I hope that when they leave here, they will go to higher institutions.
Less than halfway through this semester, some parents stopped their children from going to school. When I went to visit my home, every parent cried to me that I was poor. I can't figure it out, nine years of compulsory education can cost your family a few dollars, isn't it good to save the money you bring to the card table to pay for your children's tuition!
The nearest middle school is more than a dozen kilometers away, and some parents are frightened by this part of the road. There is a diligent path in the book mountain, and there is no end to the hard work of learning the sea. As long as the child is studious, this road is worth walking no matter how long and difficult it is..."
Teacher Deng said a lot of touching words, and communicated with the parents about the children's learning, leaving Sang Qing's parents after the parent-teacher meeting. After sending off a group of parents, he hurriedly turned back and apologized to Yu Sheng:
"Sorry, long waiting."
Yu Sheng said politely: "Teacher Deng, it's hard work." β
Teacher Deng sat in front of Yu Sheng, wiped his sweat with his hands, and said with some embarrassment: "That... You are Sang Qing's aunt. During the math competition that day, we met at the gate of Shexian No. 1 Middle School. β
Yu Sheng: "I remember. β
Teacher Deng: "Sang Qing is good, he won the first prize." The certificate has been issued, you can see it. β
"As soon as he got it back, I put it on the wall of the hall." Yu Sheng thanked Mr. Deng again, "Thank you, Mr. Deng, for teaching him so well." β
Teacher Deng is embarrassed.
"The main thing is that he fights for himself. Qingzi heβ" he said a little heavily, "I've heard a little about his parents. You... You are his aunt, his... His guardian is equivalent to half of his own mother..."
Yu Sheng: "Teacher Deng, if you have something to say, you might as well say it directly." β
Teacher Deng breathed a sigh of relief, and naturally spoke a lot more frankly, "Qingzi's family is in such a situation, I see that you are so young, so I am worried that you will not care about him." This kid is really good, motivated, studious and sensible, it's a pity not to continue to go to school..."
Yu Sheng smiled clearly, "Teacher Deng, you just have to rest assured." No matter what, I'm going to get him out of school. β
Teacher Deng was a little relieved.
Yu Sheng asked, "Teacher Deng, how is Shunzi's study?" β
"This hairy child-" Speaking of Junzi, Teacher Deng was angry and funny, "He is the most active in the class, and he has the best relationship with Qingzi." I was always worried that Qingzi would be affected if he ran and played with him, but I didn't expect this child's academic performance to go up with Qingzi. It's no problem to be admitted to junior high school. β
Yu Sheng had never held a parent-teacher meeting for Qingzi before he was reborn, and he had never heard Qingzi talk about inviting parents. If she had heard his teacher say these heartfelt words at that time, many things might have been different after that. Thankfully, many things are changing in a good direction in this life.
Yu Sheng learned from Mr. Deng about the situation of the two children at school in detail. Ms. Deng can see and hear that she genuinely cares about the children. Now he was much more relieved.
Coming out of the classroom, Yu Sheng called a few children who were kicking the shuttlecock, "Come and say goodbye to the teacher." β
Sang Qing put the chicken feather shuttlecock on the windowsill and ran over with Yuniel. There is also a straight behind him.
Sang Baowen didn't leave either.
Sang Qing knew that he was at the school gate, and after saying goodbye to Teacher Deng, he pulled his aunt to the back door of the school.
"Auntie, let's go to Hezhuang and walk from the river embankment. The mechanical pencil leads sold by the shop in Hezhuang are colored and scented, and the words written are black and oily. You can buy me two boxes. β
Yu Sheng touched it in his pocket, "I just brought a few cents, it's enough." β
"Enough is enough, enough is enough." Sang Qing took her aunt and successfully staggered with Sang Baowen.
