After the busy exam schedule, the even more busy review schedule begins.
On the morning of the parents' meeting, when Lin Chaoxi was leaving, Old Lin stopped her and said earnestly, "If there's anything the teacher will say, and you don't dare to tell your dad, you might as well confess now."
"Like what?"
"For example, she did poorly on the test... Oh, that's unlikely; or she beat up someone at school, or fell in love with a little boy..." Lao Lin laughed.
"Dad, what are you looking forward to every day?" Lin Chaoxi shouted in despair.
"What are you thinking about? Dad is just looking forward to meeting Pei Zhi's mother." said Lao Lin.
Lin Zhaoxi: “???”
Lao Lin's cooking skills are getting better and better.
Lin Chaoxi slammed the door and left as if casually, but because of what Old Lin said, she was worried the whole day.
On the one hand, she was worried that Pei's mother was too difficult to deal with. If the other party embarrassed Pei Zhi in public, she would definitely slam the table and scold the other party; on the other hand, she was worried that if she did so, she would leave a bad impression in Pei's mother's heart...
The inner drama is so rich that he can shoot a TV series with a long family background.
——
Class 13, Grade 9.
She is not the only one who is anxious because of her parents.
The teacher had said long ago that the midterm exam results would be released at the parent-teacher conference on Wednesday. The tragic scene of the teacher announcing the scores and the students and their parents sitting on the stage together was terrifying just to think about.
So the whole day on Wednesday, until the 7 hours before the parents come.
There were three official fights in their class, a few small fights, and countless verbal fights.
In the end, Li Shu was too lazy to care about it anymore and just said to wait until the parents' meeting to let their parents come and listen to what they were arguing about.
And Pei Zhi's mother...
Lin Chaoxi "looked forward" to it for a whole day, but in the end there was no direct conflict with Mother Pei.
Because she didn't even see Mother Pei's face...
Before the parents' meeting, Lin Chaoxi saw a tall and arrogant figure hurriedly leaving the teacher's office. Pei Zhi sent the person to the bottom of the teaching building. The lady put her hands in her coat and said a few words to Pei Zhi with a cold face. Then she walked out of the school gate, got in the car and left.
From the beginning to the end, Pei's mother was extremely fierce and popular. It reminded Lin Chaoxi of a famous fashion movie she had watched before, in which Pei Zhi's mother was very similar to the "female devil".
And, if she guessed correctly, what Pei's mother said to her son was most likely - "You take care of yourself."
"Why……"
She told Lao Lin about the scene, and they both sighed with regret.
Pei Zhi was also standing nearby. He looked at their gossipy faces and said helplessly, "If you want to meet, we can have a meal together."
"don't want!"
She and Lao Lin said in unison, then stared at each other, seeing the contemptuous look of "Why are you so scared" on each other's faces.
——
The formal parents' meeting starts at 2:00 p.m.
They first held a meeting in the auditorium, where the principal and grade leaders conducted a pre-senior high school entrance examination mobilization and distributed a "Senior High School Entrance Examination Guidance Manual" to parents.
After Lao Lin got it, he handed it to her and Pei Zhi, as if letting them take care of it themselves.
Lin Zhaoxi then opened it silently.
The manual is divided into several chapters.
The first part introduces different high school classifications and score lines, the second part is guidance for the high school entrance examination, the third part is information for parents, and the fourth part is an appendix, which generally contains the score lines for various types of schools and guidance for parents on how to guide their children to find future jobs, and even the dialogue format is included.
The auditorium suddenly became quiet, and the air was filled with the rustling sound of flipping pages.
Seeing the first set of materials officially related to the high school entrance examination, the students were very curious. The brave children began to snatch the parent's handbook and flip through it, then showed a confused look.
This may be their real contact with completely different life paths, although they are far apart, but in fact, not too far away.
The leader’s speech was a bit boring, and the highlight was the individual recollections of each class after the meeting.
They each brought a plastic chair back to the classroom so that their parents could sit next to them when their grades were reported and give them "feedback" in time.
With so many parents, there was no place to stand in the classroom. It was noisy all around. The parents of the students who were not good at speaking were silently flipping through the "handbook", while the parents who were good at socializing started to communicate with each other.
There was a mother with a loud voice. Lin Chaoxi heard her showing off to another parent, saying that their family had already contacted an art high school and their daughter could go directly to the art college after graduation. She would have too many opportunities after graduation.
The other mother, who was dressed simply, responded awkwardly with a few "That's really good", but then she silently lowered her head and said to her daughter, "You have to study hard, and no matter what, you must get into high school."
Of course, there were also parents who secretly asked their children who was "Pei Zhi" or who was "Lin Chaoxi". Lin Chaoxi felt the pointing and criticizing from all directions and could not help but lower his head.
Old Lin: "Student Lin Chaoxi, isn't the angle at which you bow your head a little too exaggerated?"
Lin Zhaoxi: “…”
Hearing this, many parents of students around laughed.
Even Chen Zhu, who was sleeping next to her, burst out laughing.
"Are you the one who goes to the Internet cafe every day?" Lao Lin shifted his gaze to Chen Zhu, and through her, he chatted with classmate Chen, whose only the back of her head was exposed.
Lin Chaoxi quickly grabbed Lao Lin.
Chen Zhu stood up: "It's me."
"That's amazing. You're such a good gamer. What do you want to do in the future?"
"Games." said Chen Zhu.
Lin Chaoxi was stunned. She didn't expect Chen Zhu to state his ambition so straightforwardly.
"Wow! You have great ambitions." Lao Lin said, "The best school for computer science in China should be Yongchuan University. If you work harder, you should be able to get more than 670 points in the college entrance examination."
Lin Chaoxi tried desperately to wink at Lao Lin, asking him to stop talking.
Holding the Guidance Manual, Lao Lin said, "I didn't ask his parents why they didn't come, and I asked questions according to the guidance requirements, encouraging the child to work hard. Is there any problem?"
"Dad..." Lin Zhaoxi was helpless.
While Lin Chaoxi and Lao Lin were talking, Chen Zhu continued to lie down and said nothing more.
Similar conversations took place in many corners of the class.
The whole classroom finally quieted down when Li Shu walked into the classroom holding the test paper and report card.
She stood in front of the podium, and without even saying anything, the mere action of putting down the six large stacks of test papers was enough to shock the whole audience.
Even the mother who said she had used her connections to get her daughter into an arts high school looked very nervous.
Li Shu took a steady breath and spoke slowly: "First of all, I welcome all parents to take time out of their busy schedules to attend our first parents' meeting for the third grade. I am the class teacher, Li Shu. Many parents should be familiar with me, so I will not introduce myself in detail."
"We specially invited everyone to attend the parents' meeting this time. First, the third year of junior high school has entered a stage of learning, and we hope to communicate more with parents. Second, our grade will soon enter the countdown sprint stage for the formal high school entrance examination, so there are some things to share with parents. I hope that parents can also support the work of our school."
The parents and students in the audience all looked serious.
Everyone applauded or whispered.
Li Shu nodded, and finally opened the stack of test papers she had just held, and continued: "Everyone knows that we just had a midterm exam, so I won't report the results uniformly, but I still have to ask the parents of the students whose names are called to come up and pick up the test papers."
"Bao Xiaomeng." Li Shu shouted directly.
Lin Chaoxi looked at the other end of the classroom. A brown-haired lady with a perm stood up. She took the test paper and her face changed. She walked down the stage and threw the test paper in front of her daughter. She said disdainfully: "Your total score is less than 100. You are dumber than a pig."
Li Shu was already handing out the test paper to the next person. When she heard this, she was also stunned.
Lin Chaoxi looked at Bao Xiaomeng in the distance and exchanged glances with Old Lin.
Lao Lin didn't say anything and looked normal.
The test papers were distributed one by one.
The originally quiet classroom became lively again.
There are many parents like Bao Xiaomeng's mother. They keep scolding their children and feel humiliated.
Lin Chaoxi felt uncomfortable listening to this.
"Lin Zhaoxi."
Li Shu finally reported her name.
Lao Lin stood up and slowly walked onto the stage.
Li Shu's hand was on the test paper, and she did not hand it to Lao Lin immediately.
She began slowly, "Student Lin Chaoxi's exam results were excellent. Not only did he rank second in the class, he also ranked second in the entire grade."
The whole class fell silent at once, and Lin Chaoxi thought there was something wrong with his ears.
When she was tested for class placement, she ranked around 30th in the entire grade, but this time she was ranked second in the entire grade?
The students in the class and many of their parents also found it incredible.
There was silence for about half a minute.
Then there were small-scale whispers.
Lin Chaoxi didn't listen to those words. After being stunned for a moment, he turned around and looked at Pei Zhi.
If she is the second, then the first is undoubtedly Pei Zhi. This classmate is really a bug.
As expected, Li Shu then announced: "And fortunately, the top scorer in the midterm exam is also in our class. It is our excellent transfer student Pei Zhi."
If her second place was a surprise, then Pei Zhi's first place in the whole grade was a complete shock.
"The first and second place are both in your class?"
"Why aren't you in Zhongming's class?"
“It’s really amazing.”
The whole boring parents' meeting finally became a little lively, and Li Shu also became happy.
She pressed her hands and said, "Pei Zhi's mother cannot attend due to work reasons. After we hand out the test papers, we will ask Lin Chaoxi's father to share his educational experience."
"There's nothing much to introduce." Lao Lin didn't "take it on", but stood on the podium and said directly, "Because I teach well."
Li Shu didn't understand Lao Lin's painting style, and asked, "Then can I ask, Dad Lin, how did you educate Lin Chaoxi?"
Lin Chaoxi lowered his head silently and lit the candle for Li Shu.
"I never call my daughter a pig."
When Lao Lin said the first sentence, Bao Xiaomeng's mother raised her head.
“I never blame teachers for being irresponsible.”
When Lao Lin said the second sentence, Zheng Matt's father glared.
"Most children have more than enough intelligence to handle the junior high school entrance exam. If not, then parents should reflect on how bad their intelligence is."
The classroom suddenly exploded.
Old Lin had incurred enough hatred and left the stage with satisfaction. Lin Chaoxi sat in his seat and began to seriously consider whether it was still too late to change shifts.
