Comrade Lao Du, Du Bin and Du Chen looked at each other and caught the same message from each other's eyes - "coward".
"Dad, did the teacher say anything at the parent-teacher conference?"
In order to avoid further embarrassment among the three people, Du Chen found a topic to ask Comrade Lao Du.
"I didn't say anything. The teacher just told you to keep working hard and that your grades could still improve! Oh, and the teacher also said that you sometimes get distracted in class and don't listen. You like to read extracurricular books and whisper with Zhao Pengfei..."
Du Chen felt like he'd dug a hole and dug himself into it. He'd done well on the test, topped the class, so why didn't the homeroom teacher point out his strengths? Instead, he just kept tattling on him?
"Wait, Dad, is that all you said about me when you went to the teacher? You didn't say anything good!"
Du Chen wanted to know if the teacher had said anything good about him. Why did he feel like his homeroom teacher had backstabbed him?
"That's true, but not much!"
Comrade Lao Du looked at Du Chen with a smile. Actually, it was not so bad. The teacher praised Du Chen a lot, but Comrade Lao Du just didn't want to say it.
"Forget it, forget it. By the way, Dad, did the teacher say anything about Zhao Pengfei?"
Du Chen suddenly thought of Zhao Pengfei's father, the tough man who treated children reasonably and never beat them.
"Hahaha, Zhao Pengfei's dad is so pissed off about Zhao Pengfei! Every teacher mentioned Zhao Pengfei in their speeches, saying that he was distracted and talkative in class, and didn't complete his homework properly... I guess Zhao Pengfei will get a good beating from his dad tonight! But luckily, he probably won't get a beating! If you get the same grades as Zhao Pengfei, just wait and see how your mom and I will beat you!"
When mentioning Zhao Pengfei, Comrade Lao Du would laugh cheerfully. Moreover, when the teacher was chatting with parents alone, Du Chen and Li Qiang both became Zhao Pengfei's role models. After all, one was in front of the other and the other was at the same table. Du Chen was first, Li Qiang was eighth, and Zhao Pengfei was last. There were role models everywhere around him, and Zhao Pengfei's father had lost all his face because of him.
"Alas, I guess Zhao Pengfei won't dare to sit on the chair again tomorrow!"
Du Chen's words seemed to express pity for Zhao Pengfei, but no matter how you listened to them, there was also a feeling of gloating.
"Why don't you dare sit on the chair?"
Du Bin asked Du Chen curiously. Comrade Lao Du and Ding Miaomiao also looked at Du Chen curiously. They also wanted to know the reason.
"Hey, you don't dare sit on the chair. Why do you think so? You must have gotten beaten up. Your butt is swollen, how dare you sit on the chair!"
Du Chen said with a sneer.
"Impossible? Just now in the classroom, didn't Zhao Pengfei's father say that you can't hit your children when educating them..."
Comrade Lao Du repeated what Zhao Pengfei's father said to Du Chen in surprise.
"Dad, everyone will say it, do you think spanking children is good? When my brother was disobedient, did you regret spanking him? Did you think you couldn't spank the child next time, but then you got so angry that you couldn't help it? Do you ever regret it?"
Du Chen spoke confidently to Comrade Lao Du, while Du Bin stared at Du Chen, his eyes revealing why do you always mention me as a negative example?
"I don't regret it, do I? I've always believed that a good son is made under the stick, and beating the child on a rainy day is something I'd do anyway! What do I regret? It's just that you've always been obedient, so you didn't get beaten!"
Du Chen had never expected that Comrade Du would not follow his routine. Looking at the ashamed and angry Du Bin, Du Chen said sorry to his brother in his heart, which hurt Du Bin again. Ding Miaomiao covered her mouth and laughed secretly, after all, laughing too obviously would hurt Du Bin again.
"Forget it, let's not talk about this. Let me tell you, when the results came out, Zhao Pengfei didn't dare sit on the chair. His butt was so swollen. It's only healed a little in the past two days. I think he's going to get beaten up again tonight!"
"Is this true? His father seems to have a nice personality. He just chatted with me and Li Qiang's father a lot."
Comrade Lao Du still had some doubts.
"Of course it's true. Zhao Pengfei has been looking worried every day these past few days."
As Du Chen spoke, he burst into laughter.
"Du Chen, you look so happy about Zhao Pengfei getting beaten up, it's not that serious!"
Comrade Lao Du looked at Du Chen who was laughing, and was a little confused.
"Of course not. I have to thank Zhao Pengfei's father. Zhao Pengfei hasn't bothered me much lately. I don't dare to talk in class and I lie on the table to rest after class. Finally, I don't have the energy to talk nonsense!"
These days, Zhao Pengfei was forced by his parents to study until very late every night. He had no energy to talk after class. Du Chen finally had a few days of peace and quiet.
"Okay, then it's settled, Sister Ren. Tonight's my treat, and next time it's your turn!"
Comrade Du Chen was laughing, while Ren Surong and Jia Xiaomin finally decided the winner, with Jia Xiaomin slightly ahead. Tonight, Jia Xiaomin and Lao Ding were treating us to dinner.
"Du Bin Chenchen, what do you want to eat tonight? Where do you want to eat?"
Jia Xiaomin asked Du Bin and Du Chen.
"Tsk, they're just eating whatever they have, why are you asking them?"
Ren Surong didn't wait for Du Chen and Du Bin to speak, and directly made a decision for the two brothers.
"Miaomiao, let's eat whatever you want!"
Before Du Chen and the others could react, Ren Surong's next action blatantly mocked them.
"Auntie, I'm fine with that. Let's ask Du Bin and Chen Chen! Du Bin, Chen Chen, do you want to eat anything?"
Looking at the depressed faces of Du Chen and Du Bin, Ding Miaomiao did not continue to rub salt into the wound, but instead asked for the opinions of the two brothers.
"hehe!"
Du Chen's "hehe" contains thousands of meanings.
Du Chen's "Hehe" was quite interesting, and Du Bin also gave the same answer as Du Chen.
"hehe!"
“Bang!”
Comrade Lao Du slapped Du Bin on the back of the head.
"What's wrong? Hehe, what's the matter? Don't give me a hehe in the future!"
Hearing Du Chen and Du Bin's "Hehe", Comrade Lao Du felt a surge of inexplicable anger rising from him. Du Bin covered the back of his head and looked at Comrade Lao Du with grievance, wondering why he was the one who got hurt, when it was clearly Du Chen who "Hehe" first.
"Dad, Chenchen also laughed, why did you only hit me?"
Du Bin was a little dissatisfied with being the only one beaten, and also wanted to drag Du Chen into it.
"Your height is perfect for the photo, and you're close to me, so it'll be easier to take pictures! Do you have any other comments?"
Comrade Lao Du said to Du Bin with a smile.
Looking at Comrade Lao Du's constantly stretching right hand, Du Bin decisively said that he had no opinion and that the photo was well taken.
"Dad, how's the renovation of the repair shop in the city going? When will it open?"
Du Chen helped Du Bin out of the predicament. After all, Ding Miaomiao was still here, so he had to save face for Du Bin!
