Chapter 20 Transmigrated as a Little Bitter Gourd

Ji Dong straightened his clothes: "I thought my dad would definitely be here for the parent-teacher conference today, but when I asked, they said Ji Huaizhi isn't going to school here anymore."

"What's going on?"

Tang Juan didn't care: "How would I know?"

"Perhaps he's gone back to the village." Saying this, he walked into the hall: "Let's go in quickly."

As they went inside, Ji Dong brought up the teacher's conversation again.

"From what the teacher said, our son is doing very poorly at school, and his grades are at the bottom of the class, you know?"

Hearing the man's words, Tang Juan retorted, "Why do you think I'm making him study hard at home?"

“You also said to relax at home and not put so much pressure on him.”

How could Ji Dong have known that his child's grades were so poor?

That's so embarrassing.

Fortunately, it wasn't said directly in class.

After they sat down, they tacitly avoided discussing the child's grades again.

He just stared impatiently ahead.

He would take out his phone every now and then to check the time.

The principal spoke for a while, which made the parents in the audience drowsy.

A burst of applause rang out, and Ji Dong looked up in surprise: "Is that my dad?"

Why is he standing there?

Tang Juan also looked ahead.

All that could be heard was the principal speaking into the microphone: "Ji Huaizhi transferred here midway through his studies. He received very little education in the countryside and was influenced by his environment as he grew up."

"After he came to our elementary school, he immediately became the top student in his grade."

"Even more so this semester, he skipped two grades and participated in the junior high school entrance exam this year."

The noise from the audience surprised me.

Jumping two grades in a row?

Can you keep up?

"He's talking about Ji Huaizhi?" Tang Juan found it unbelievable.

"How is that possible?"

Ji Dong looked at Ji Xianli: "Are you aware of this matter?"

Ji Xianli shook his head: "I don't know, I haven't heard of it..."

Just then, the student in front turned around: "Ji Xianli, the teacher mentioned that there was a student who transferred from the countryside and is a child prodigy. He skipped two grades and is still first in the grade."

"You were sleeping in class at the time, so you didn't hear it."

Ji Dong's face instantly darkened.

He looked at Ji Xianli with a gloomy expression and said, "Ji Xianli, I'll deal with you when we get back."

Ji Xianli felt guilty and scared. Would he get beaten up when he got back?

Ji Huaizhi is so annoying, why is he skipping grades?

What's so great about it?

"In this entrance exam for junior high school, Ji Huaizhi performed consistently well and was admitted directly to the city's top junior high school, ranking first in the entrance exam." The principal announced from the stage, looking very pleased.

"Next, we would like to invite Ji Huaizhi's parents to tell us about their daily education of their child."

The principal reached out his hand.

A round of applause erupted from the audience, who all watched intently as the old man spoke.

Grandpa Ji was wearing a dark gray striped short-sleeved shirt, with the collar neatly ironed.

The hem was tucked into his pants and secured with a belt.

It looks very neat and tidy.

"Hello, teachers, parents, and students." The old man stood up straight.

Her face radiated undisguised pride: "Neither my wife nor I have much education, and we don't understand education."

"It's all because the children are hardworking."

"But after he came to the city, we parents realized that we had delayed our child's development. Fortunately, he came to the city at that time."

"Otherwise, my wife and I had no idea that our child was so smart."

The audience laughed.

Tang Juan looked disdainful.

Ji Dong's face showed a complicated expression.

If they hadn't moved out, he would have been the one speaking on stage.

The principal smiled and said, "Then let's invite Ji Huaizhi to talk about how he studies."

After Ji Huai arrived, the principal realized that he was really small.

Do you have any experience you can share with your classmates?

Ji Huaizhi blinked, still a little embarrassed: "I suggest students read more books and do more practice problems."

"Is this how you usually are?" the principal thought to himself, this child is really obedient.

"No, I usually help my grandpa with chores, and I play video games when I have nothing to do."

Everyone laughed.

I've figured it out; this kid is just naturally smart.

"Then you mustn't waste your brain. The pressure will start to build after you enter junior high and high school," the principal reminded him.

Ji Huaizhi nodded in agreement.

Then he gave another speech.

Tang Juan looked at Ji Huaizhi and the old man sitting down in front of her with an ambiguous expression.

I overheard someone in the front row say, "The difference between people is really huge. This child is probably a genius."

"Why is it Grandpa? Where are this little prodigy's parents?"

"I guess he's gone. After all, I've been showing off my smart son for a long time."

The couple behind them wanted to curse, but swallowed their anger.

I never expected that someone would curse them to die.

Ji Dong remained silent.

Tang Juan spoke first: "It's been so long since we last contacted each other. Go talk to your dad later and ask him what's going on."

"Your dad has new clothes and new leather shoes again. It seems he's doing quite well without you."

Ji Dong: "Huaizhi is going to junior high school, so I want my dad to move back in."

This time, Tang Juan did not object.

Instead, she glanced at her son and said, "Have Huaizhi come back and tutor his younger brother."

"The father and son hid quite well."

Ji Dong didn't refuse; it's only natural for an older brother to take care of his younger brother.

"Shut your stinking mouth then, and don't say anything nasty," Ji Dong said in a deep voice.

"I'm speaking harshly? Do you think what you've done is any better?"

The couple has been arguing more and more frequently lately.

The couple used to have a good relationship, but since the incident, their relationship has been on the verge of collapse.

Ji Xianli pursed his lips and looked at the back of Ji Huaizhi's head in front of him.

He didn't want him to come back.

His grades were so good that his parents wanted him to come back.

What if he doesn't like me anymore because he gets good grades and I get bad grades?

He pleaded as he always did: "Mom and Dad, I don't like him, I don't want to live with him."

"No way! I'll have him come back and tutor you. You'd better study hard since it's the holidays."

Ji Dong rejected him this time.

Tang Juan also gently advised, "Your dad is right. You don't want people to think that Ji Huaizhi is better than you, do you?"

The old man held Ji Huaizhi's award certificate in his hand and led Ji Huaizhi home.

"Your grandma would be so happy if she knew how amazing you are."

Ji Huaizhi: "When you go back to your hometown, burn the award certificate for your grandmother."

"That won't do." The old man was still somewhat reluctant.

"You can burn those perfect test papers and show them to your grandma."

Then, as if remembering something, he added, "Your grandma is uneducated and can't understand, so you can just say a few words at her grave."

"Let's burn two copies so our ancestors can see them."

“Our Ji family’s ancestral graves are emitting auspicious smoke.”

The old man murmured, "Even though you're in junior high, I'll still keep running my stall. You're so promising; I don't want you to be unable to walk because of money in the future."

"Grandpa, didn't I give you all the money I earned from playing games?"

The old man nodded: "You can't play video games anymore, what if you make yourself stupid?"
