It is true that Mr. Han does not spend as much time taking care of his daughter Han Meimei as he does being busy with work due to his frequent business trips.
But there is a reason for this. If it were not for this family, if it were not for providing his daughter with a better living environment and conditions, there would be no need for Han's father to work so hard and run around. This is an objective condition.
Although the couple does not spend much time taking care of their daughter Han Meimei, it does not mean that Han's father does not care about his daughter Han Meimei's study and life.
In fact, even when he was on a business trip, Han's father would often call his daughter Han Meimei to ask about her studies, her life, how she ate, and how she dressed.
Although he is helpless and cannot always be with his daughter, this is the best that Han's father can do.
Feeling that they owed their daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Han have always been very caring towards their daughter Han Meimei, even to the point of doting on her. They always base everything on their daughter Han Meimei's wishes.
So this is why, even though Han Meimei's family was so well-off, her father still chose to let his daughter Han Meimei attend Ruxu No. 2 Middle School instead of choosing to go to other better high schools.
'We are working so hard now, isn't it just so that Meimei can live a carefree life in the future and do whatever she wants!'
Han's father's reason was very simple. It didn't matter if he and his wife worked a little harder, as long as Han Meimei didn't have to work so hard in the future. One generation had worked hard, so three generations shouldn't have to suffer.
However, although the couple followed Han Meimei's wishes in everything, they did not do everything according to Han Meimei's wishes, even though they still showed respect for their daughter on the surface.
For example, premature love.
Just like traditional Chinese parents, they are all very worried that their children will focus on dating during their student days, but they also wish that their children, who have never been in a relationship during their student days, would have a boyfriend/girlfriend as soon as they graduate from college, and then get on the right track, get married and have children right away.
Han Meimei's parents are extremely traditional parents - of course, only when it comes to the issue of premature love.
Fortunately, Han Meimei has always been a very well-behaved girl. Apart from her relatively poor academic performance, other things have not caused her parents much worry.
Moreover, after Han Meimei entered her senior year of high school, her grades improved by leaps and bounds, as if overnight, to a level that shocked the couple.
Strange, too strange.
The couple thought about what they saw Han Meimei's report card some time ago and suddenly didn't know what to say.
Excitement, excitement, ecstasy...
The couple couldn’t imagine how they felt when they saw their daughter’s grades, but it was obvious that they were more pleased and content with Han Meimei afterwards.
Naturally, the couple would not take all the credit for Han Meimei's current test results. They are very self-aware and know that just because they are away from home for very few days, they should be thankful that their daughter has not become a mentally ill girl and goes out to fool around every day. How could they dare to expect Han Meimei to do better!
However, Han Meimei did it, and she did much better than the couple had imagined. Moreover, the fact that Han Meimei could get such good grades in her senior year of high school has far exceeded the expectations of Han's parents.
Having a daughter like this, you should be satisfied.
However, although their daughter exceeded their expectations during her senior year of high school, the thing that Han's father had always worried about also happened.
'Li Lei'
When this name first appeared in Han's father's ears, he felt like the sky was about to fall.
It was because Han's father respected his daughter enough that he forced himself to hold back and did not rush into the school with his own fruit knife to hit the pencil sharpener a few times.
Damn it, the little cotton-padded jacket that I have worked so hard to raise for more than ten years was stolen by a little yellow-haired kid who came from nowhere? !
Is there still a king's law? Is there still law? !
Not only that, when Han's father found out that his little girl happily stole his notebook, pen and other office supplies, he was completely dumbfounded.
Well, well, well, now not only is the little cotton-padded jacket leaking air, it's also filled with black cotton, right?
Although his daughter didn't say what they were for, Han's father knew without thinking who Han Meimei was giving these things to after she stole them from his study.
What? You said Han Meimei stole these, why didn't she use them for herself?!
If she was using it herself, would she need to steal it?! It was obvious that she was giving it to others!
Although the couple knew about their daughter's actions, neither of them said anything. They just secretly contacted the school teachers to learn about their daughter's situation in school.
Through further investigation, the couple also learned that their daughter Han Meimei had a friend named Li Lei at school. The two did not have any intimate behavior, but were more like study partners.
So this is one of the reasons why Han's father did not tell Han Meimei what they knew, and insisted on going to school for the parent-teacher meeting even though they were so busy before the National Day.
...
...
"Haha," Father Han laughed twice after hearing Father Li's teasing, and then said in a sarcastic tone, "I'm sorry, I'm not well educated, so I don't know if there's any coincidence between these two names."
He didn't meet the boy, but he happened to meet the boy's father. Although Han's father felt a little regretful, he also wanted to find out more about their family situation from the conversation with Li Lei's father.
However, Li Lei's father's first sentence immediately made Han's father give up the idea of finding out the news.
Damn it, so shameless!
Who is destined to be with your son? !
Believe it or not, I will report it! !
In Han's father's opinion, the malicious meaning of Li's words reminded him of the near future, when a yellow-haired man hugged his precious daughter, looked at the couple arrogantly, and said to them, "Hey, Lao Deng, is it safe for my will-o'-the-wisp to park downstairs of your house?"
Even if this yellow-haired guy has pretty good grades in the eyes of others...even if he is in the top two in the school and 15th in the county, he is just a yellow-haired guy with better grades!
It’s hard, the fist is hard!
Thinking about this, Father Han wanted to punch Father Li's old face twice right now, but reason kept reminding Father Han not to do this. If he won, he would go to jail, and if he lost, he would be hospitalized. Any fight would be a lose-lose situation, so he must stay calm!
No, I can't stand it. I must report this to the head teacher after the meeting. Damn it, all of you with the surname Li must die!!!
Father Li had no idea that the man sitting opposite him was brainstorming with a serious face, thinking about all sorts of random things, and didn't even expect that he had escaped a disaster because of it.
From Mr. Li's perspective, this guy is really not humorous. This is obviously a matter of fate, so how could he not laugh?
It would be fine if he didn't smile, but he also put on such a Sima face. People who didn't know would have thought that his daughter had scored more than 670 points in this mock exam, ranking second in Ruxu No. 2 Middle School and 15th in Ruxu County. What a good result!
What?! Your daughter Han Meimei only scored around 500 points?!
Where did this woman come from? She is not even worthy of carrying shoes for my son, yet she dares to be so arrogant? !
Mr. Li is just straightforward, but he is not stupid. Before coming to the parent-teacher meeting, Mr. Li's mother had specifically reminded him to control his mouth!
So even if Father Li had complaints about Father Han's behavior, he didn't say much. He just curled his lips secretly and said nothing more to Father Han.
This just fulfilled Han's father's wish. In the small world formed by the two desks, there was a strange silence for a while, making both of them look forward to the arrival of the head teacher Zhou Yu.
...
...
The afternoon parent-teacher meeting started very early. Zhou Yu, who had had a good nap, arrived as scheduled and was in the classroom around two o'clock in the afternoon, before all the parents arrived.
This is the first time that Zhou Yu is teaching a science class. Therefore, compared to the liberal arts class, Zhou Yu is much more cautious.
Therefore, when dealing with parents of students in science classes, Zhou Yu's explanations are more thorough and comprehensive, so that these parents can have a clearer understanding of their children's current situation and have more confidence in their children.
In fact, Zhou Yu was thinking too much. According to the current situation, even if he didn't do these things, the parents below the podium still had sufficient confidence in Zhou Yu.
Therefore, this parent-teacher meeting can be said to be a two-way event, which led to the meeting being extremely smooth and the feedback from parents was also extraordinary.
Just like what happened in the morning, when Zhou Yu announced the end of the parents' meeting, these parents rushed towards Zhou Yu, the 'living person' present, like the zombies in the Resident Evil movie, and surrounded him tightly, asking him questions, as if they were afraid that Zhou Yu would not answer them if they spoke a little too slowly.
But their worries were indeed correct. Zhou Yu did not have enough energy and time to answer so many parents' questions. So after briefly answering a few parents' questions, Zhou Yu hurriedly explained to these parents who were still surrounding him and asking him excitedly about their children's learning problems that they did not have enough time.
Finally all the parents dispersed, and Zhou Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
When Zhou Yu packed up all his things and walked out of the classroom to go home, as soon as he walked out of the classroom door, he saw a parent still lingering in the teaching building in the corridor.
Hmm? This guy......
"You are Han Meimei's father, right?" Zhou Yu had a good memory and recognized the other person's identity at a glance.
But Zhou Yu had a good memory, but he didn't have the ability to read minds, so he didn't know why the other person was waiting for him here. "Are you waiting for me here? Is there anything else you can do for me?"
"Yes, yes, I am Han Meimei's father! Teacher Zhou, I'm sorry to bother you!" Han's father seemed very happy that Zhou Yu recognized him, and even the depressed mood that had lasted until now was alleviated a lot.
Zhou Yu nodded and understood what Father Han meant. "Let's talk while we walk!"
As he spoke, Zhou Yu took the lead and walked towards the stairs. After seeing Zhou Yu leave, Han's father hurriedly followed Zhou Yu's pace.
Han's father seemed a little embarrassed to answer Zhou Yu's question.
Just now, in the parent-teacher meeting which lasted for one or two hours, although Zhou Yu shared a lot of useful information, Mr. Han was immersed in his own thoughts. All he could think about was how to talk to Teacher Zhou later, to inquire about the child's specific situation, and whether he could swap the seats of the yellow-haired boy and his daughter with others. He had no time to listen to what Zhou Yu said!
"You've spoken so much at the parent-teacher conference and you're already so tired. Logically, I shouldn't disturb your rest time after the conference!" Father Han pondered for a moment and decided to tell Zhou Yu about his daughter Han Meimei's problem.
When Zhou Yu heard Han's father's concerns, he couldn't help but laugh.
Does Zhou Yu know about Han Meimei and Li Lei’s situation?
Know!
And not only Zhou Yu knew it, but other teachers and some school leaders also knew that although Han Meimei and Li Lei were not in a relationship, they were more inseparable than those young couples in love.
Zhou Yu had thought about intervening, but the performance of these two children... Zhou Yu felt that it was better to let nature take its course, and there was no need for teachers like them to interfere.
The situations of Han Meimei and Li Lei are completely different from that of the girl named Wang Huili whom Zhou Yu met last year.
Wang Huili was completely in love. After she started dating and worked hard for a while, she lost track of what was going on. She soon forgot about studying and thought about how to be with her boyfriend all day long.
And what about Han Meimei and Li Lei?
In the eyes of teachers like Zhou Yu, these two children are really well-behaved!
Even though both parties have basically become famous, their minds are still on learning. They don't think about love affairs all day long, but about mutual progress and the advanced ones leading the backward.
So don’t even say that Han Meimei and Li Lei are not in love. Even if they are, Zhou Yu and other class teachers will pretend not to see it.
If you can score more than 670 points, you can also make your class teacher and school leaders coax you everywhere!
High school is so realistic, especially in the better high schools where everything is based on strength. If you have good grades, you can enjoy everything.
If you have good grades and the ability to get into C9, not only your class teacher but even the principal will have to speak to you in a gentle voice, and you will get a lot of scholarships!
If you sleep in class, don't worry about whether the teacher will scold you. If they weren't worried about the bad influence, they would almost want to cover you with a quilt on the spot.
But the situation is a little different now.
Zhou Yu and other teachers and school leaders pretended not to see the situation of Han Meimei and Li Lei, but now that the parents have come to the door, Zhou Yu certainly cannot just give Han's father a perfunctory response as he did to other people, and must give Han's father an explanation.
