Lin Yanwan froze, turned around and looked at her mother-in-law with a mocking expression, and nervously called out "Mom" on the spot.
As soon as she said it, the young girl blushed instantly and quickly corrected herself in a low voice: "Auntie, I...I didn't, we were just whispering."
"I understand, it's noisy when there are many people, you can only hear clearly when you get close to them."
Xia Shanshan nodded with a smile. The young girl was shy, and even though she had already seen it, she had to try her best to deny it, at least not in front of her mother-in-law.
"Yanwan, are you all alone? Where are your parents?" She stopped joking and changed the subject.
"Auntie, they had something come up and couldn't come," Lin Yanwan said, blushing. "So, I had to come to Xiaoman's parent-teacher conference."
"I see."
Xia Shanshan felt a little regretful, as she had planned to take this opportunity to invite her in-laws to dinner and apologize. Now, she would have to wait a little longer.
"Auntie, how did Xiaoman do on her exam?" Lin Yanwan asked.
"Keep it a secret for now."
Xia Shanshan smiled and handed the final exam papers she was holding to Jiang Xia: "Put them out, be careful, and don't lose a single one."
"Mom, you can always trust your son about this little thing."
Jiang Xia chuckled, turned around, took the test paper, and walked into the classroom. The noisy classroom immediately became quiet, and all the children sat up straight. It was clear that her mother had done a good job of disciplining them.
Every time he called out a name, a child would come forward and take the test paper. The test paper did not have a specific score, only an excellent or good grade. The complete report card was in Xia Shanshan's hands.
Lin Xiaoman watched her brother-in-law hand out the test papers with great joy, but in her heart she wondered if her brother-in-law would be so happy that he would pick her up and spin her around if he saw her perfect score.
Thinking of that scene, she subconsciously glanced at her sister, thinking... she'd probably get beaten up, right?
Time passed slowly, and even her deskmate Xiaomei received her test paper and got an A, but her brother-in-law still hadn't called her name, and Lin Xiaoman couldn't help but get a little anxious.
"Sister, why hasn't brother-in-law called me yet?" Lin Xiaoman whispered.
"Don't worry, generally speaking, the main characters are the last to appear."
Lin Yanwan smiled slightly. She had personally witnessed Jiang Xia secretly keeping the test paper in his hand. If she wasn't mistaken, it should be Xiaoman's test paper.
A few minutes later, Jiang Xia finished reading the names of all the students except Xiao Man, then, holding the last two papers in his hand, he walked towards his sister-in-law with a smile.
"Here, your test paper." He smiled and patted her head. "Hmm... you did very well."
Lin Xiaoman's face lit up with joy. She took the test paper and saw that it had two A+ grades, and the paper was covered with red checkmarks, just as she had predicted.
"Hehehe, full marks!"
"Xiaoman is the best," Lin Yanwan said with a smile.
"I wish my mom and dad were here."
"I'll tell them when we get back, they'll be very happy too."
"Uh-huh!"
After handing out the test papers, Jiang Xia continued to help his mother distribute the certificates of merit. There were a whole bunch of titles such as "Star of Progress," "Star of Learning," and "Little Painter." Every single one of the dozens of children received a name.
As a result, Lin Xiaoman received three more awards: "Three Good Student," "Excellent Class Leader," and "Model Student." In addition, she received a certificate of honor, a 50-yuan scholarship, and a fountain pen, which made a group of children envious and made her a true "other people's child" in the eyes of many parents.
"Scholarships are available for first graders now?" Lin Yanwan was slightly surprised.
“My mom paid for it herself. She’s been doing this since I was little.”
Jiang Xia smiled and said, "She said that this can motivate children's learning and is a positive source of motivation, which has a very good effect on children's physical and mental health."
"Mom truly deserves to be called an outstanding teacher," Lin Yanwan said softly, her tone full of emotion, inexplicably recalling how she had selflessly gone to teach in a remote mountainous area in her previous life.
Jiang Xia said, "In my memory, there has never been a child who didn't like her."
“Yes, we really like Teacher Xia,” Xiaoman suddenly chimed in happily.
The couple smiled at each other.
After distributing the test papers and certificates, the next step is the formal parent-teacher meeting.
Xia Shanshan first thanked the parents for their support and help to the school, class, and teachers. Then she briefly introduced the basic situation of the class and reiterated the purpose of the parent-teacher meeting. Based on the final exam and the children's usual performance, she gave a detailed report to the parents on the next learning plan, clarified the direction of development, and how to improve existing problems.
Finally, it was time for parents to speak. I listened carefully to their opinions and emphasized the precautions to take during the holidays, especially the prohibition of swimming in ponds and rivers.
As for holiday homework, Xia Shanshan has always been quite lenient in this regard, ensuring that the children have homework to do every day and don't forget everything they learned during the two-month summer vacation.
Some students who receive an A+ are exempt from all homework.
Around 10 a.m., the parent-teacher meeting came to a successful conclusion. Watching the lively and adorable children leave the school one by one, led by their parents, Xia Shanshan finally breathed a sigh of relief. With the end of the semester, she could finally get a good rest.
She looked at Lin Xiaoman with a gentle smile and said, "Yanwan, Xiaoman, since your parents are both available, why don't you come to my house for lunch?"
While Lin Yanwan was still hesitating, Xiaoman couldn't wait to agree immediately.
"Yes, yes, Xiaoman loves Teacher Xia's cooking the most!"
"We'll have to trouble Aunt Xia again." Lin Yanwan patted her younger sister's head, looking helpless.
Xia Shanshan nodded with a smile: "We're family, no trouble at all."
Lin Yanwan blushed, thinking about how her mother-in-law had caught them kissing earlier, and she angrily pinched Jiang Xia's thigh.
It's all this guy's fault!!
"Then you guys go back first. I have some things to do at school. I'll come back and cook dinner later," Xia Shanshan said.
"Okay."
The couple took Xiaoman away from school. She was so happy, skipping and jumping all the way, her face beaming with undisguised joy.
"Wuhu! It's holiday time!" As soon as she stepped out of the school gate, Xiaoman couldn't help but cheer loudly.
"You haven't done your homework yet," Jiang Xia reminded him with a smile.
"Yes, I haven't done my homework yet!" Xiaoman chuckled and gently shook his hand. "Brother-in-law, does that mean I can come play with you every day?"
"No, your brother-in-law is very busy. He has important things to do every day. Don't think about bothering him." Lin Yanwan refused without hesitation, after all, she herself couldn't see him every day.
Trying to raid my base? No way!
