Chapter 19 Transmigrated as a Little Bitter Gourd 19

Ji Xianli went back and told his family about Ji Huaizhi being summoned by his parents.

His gloating expression was undisguised: "He was faking it all before. He must have caused trouble to get his parents called in."

Ji Dong remained silent.

Tang Juan glanced at him and said, "He's not an honest man."

“Study hard at school and don’t be like him. We need to see your progress this semester, or I’ll take your phone away.”

Ji Xianli could no longer laugh.

“I saw that Ji Huaizhi also has a cell phone,” Ji Xianli said, sounding unhappy.

His eyes lit up as he said, "Could it be that he got his parents called in because he was using his phone in class?"

"Never mind him, eat." Tang Juan put a piece of food in his bowl.

The couple is currently in a cold war.

Tang Juan said directly, "We can't call them back. What if it affects my son?"

"Your leg isn't immobile now, so why call them back?"

Days passed by one by one.

When Ji Dong went for his follow-up appointment, the doctor finally said that everything was fine.

However, strenuous exercise should still be avoided afterward.

His long break has had a significant impact on his work.

The work I used to do has all been delegated to others.

Coming back, I felt isolated, but there was nothing I could do; I had to keep going. If I didn't do it, plenty of others would.

The heat is intense, and Dong will have to stop work again because of the college entrance examination season.

Tang Juan often complains that she hasn't made any money this year.

He was getting increasingly agitated by what he heard.

"I'm talking to you, didn't you hear me?" Tang Juan shouted at him.

"What can I do?" Ji Dong said impatiently. "Just kill me then."

"I've been out of work for so long and they haven't given me any tasks. It's not like I don't want to work."

Tang Juan sighed, understanding why.

"Mom and Dad, our teacher said there will be a parent-teacher conference after the final exams. It would be best if both parents could attend, as parents and students will also need to go to the auditorium to listen to the lecture." Ji Xianli came over and interrupted their argument.

"Don't you still have some time before your final exams?" Tang Juan thought to herself that she would have to ask for leave again.

Both of them need to take leave.

"The teachers deliberately told you in advance so you would have time."

"There's so much to do," Ji Dong sighed. "Can't your mother go alone?"

Tang Juan: "What's wrong with going together? Everyone else's parents are going, but Xianli is the only one going. People will look down on your son."

Ji Dong had nothing to say.

There's still so much time, let's talk about it later.

Ji Xianli was secretly pleased to see that they had all agreed.

When his parents go to the parent-teacher conference, only his grandfather will go with Ji Huaizhi.

People who don't know the situation might think he doesn't have parents.

Ji Xianli didn't pay attention in class, so he didn't hear the teacher mention that a transfer student from the countryside had skipped two grades.

During the parent-teacher conference, Ji Dong even thought about taking a look at Ji Huaizhi's class.

He guessed that the old man would definitely come today.

He hadn't been able to contact them for so long, and he still wanted to go and see how they were doing.

But when he went to the fourth-grade classroom, he didn't see Ji Huaizhi, so he called over a student who was standing at the door:

"Is there anyone in your class named Ji Huaizhi?"

The man shook his head: "No."

"No?" Ji Dong asked, puzzled. "Are there any other classes in this grade?"

A child nearby spoke up: "Ji Huaizhi used to be in our class, but he's not anymore?"

"Huh?" Ji Dong thought to himself that he had been called to school by his parents before, and wondered if he had been expelled from school.

Just as I was about to ask, Ji Xianli came up: "Dad! We're going to the auditorium, what are you doing here?"

"They're gone."

He pulled his father along quickly.

He knew that his father had come to see Ji Huaizhi.

How annoying.

"No, your brother isn't studying here anymore?" Ji Dong asked him.

"I don't know." Ji Xianli pulled him forward.

Ji Dong frowned and shouted, "Slow down, slow down!"

"Xianli's parents, wait a moment." The teacher called them back as they were about to go downstairs.

Ji Xianli was startled. He had just persuaded his mother to leave, but his father had run into them.

"Teacher," Ji Dong said with great respect for his son's homeroom teacher, "We really appreciate your help with Xianli."

He had given this teacher a gift when his son enrolled in school, hoping she would take care of his son.

"Xianli's father, I called you here because I wanted to talk to you about Xianli's performance at school this semester," the teacher said, getting straight to the point.

Ji Xianli stood to the side, pursing his lips, already quite unhappy.

“Xianli only ranked last in the final exam last semester, and his performance this semester has been extremely poor.”

Upon hearing this, Ji Dong's smile faded.

“I know you parents are busy, but you also need to pay attention to your child’s behavior. He talks in class, daydreams, doesn’t do his homework, and cheats on tests. I’ve done everything I can to educate him.”

“I wanted to invite you to the school, but he lied again and said you had been hospitalized for several months.”

"Xianli's father, you should also keep an eye on your child while you're making money."

Ji Dong: "Is my child really that bad?"

Seeing his expression change, the teacher softened her tone: "Well... he's fine in other aspects, but he disrupts class during lessons."

"So how do you usually educate him?" Ji Dong asked without hesitation.

The teacher was dumbfounded: "Huh?"

"I understand what you're saying, teacher. I'm very well-behaved at home, so why am I so naughty at school?"

Ji Dong replied matter-of-factly, "That must be because of the school."

The teacher suddenly felt like he was talking to a brick wall.

Don't these parents have any understanding of their own children?

Suddenly speechless, even the teacher didn't know what to say.

"It's mainly because you, teacher, described my child so badly. When we came to your class, you promised that you would educate our child well."

Ji Dong wondered if she was hinting at sending him something again.

The teacher was speechless.

She has encountered parents like this before.

"We teachers will educate the students in the class properly." She could only give perfunctory answers now. The parents themselves didn't care and thought there was no problem, so what right did she, a teacher, have to say anything?

"It's getting late, you should go to the auditorium first."

"As teachers, we try our best to help our children with their grades, and parents also need to remind them at home."

Ji Dong wanted to say a few more words.

The teaching profession is very noble. Since you have all become teachers, if the child is not well educated, then it must be your problem as teachers.

However, Ji Xianli also knew that it was shameful.

Upon hearing the teacher mention going to the auditorium, he immediately pulled his father to leave.

Goodbye, teacher.

The teacher sighed after everyone left.

I thought Ji Xianli's parents would be easy to talk to.

Tang Juan was waiting for them at the entrance of the auditorium: "Where did you go just now? You even made your son look for you?"
