After breakfast, Feng Haidong took his two children to school.
At the school gate, I told my two children to be serious about their studies, whether it was a class they liked or didn't like.
The two children agreed together, said goodbye to Feng Haidong, and walked towards the school together.
As Feng Haidong watched the children enter the school gate and was about to turn and leave, a voice called out to him.
"Feng Qifan's father, please wait."
Feng Haidong turned around and saw it was his son's homeroom teacher, Teacher Yan.
“Teacher Yan, it’s been a long time. I’ve been away from home for a while. Feng Qifan told me that you care about him a lot. I’m really grateful to you for your concern.”
Teacher Yan walked up to Feng Haidong, smiled, and said, "As for the child's studies, that's something I, as the homeroom teacher, should supervise."
Then, Teacher Yan said, "Feng Qifan's father, you've been away from home all this time, haven't you? I haven't seen you in a long time."
Feng Haidong said, "Yes, I work in the provincial capital now, so I may not be home for most of the month."
Teacher Yan nodded: "I see. I saw that it was Feng Qifan's mother who came to the parent-teacher meeting before. I was also a little curious at the time, why didn't you, the father who cares so much about your son, come?"
Feng Haidong said, "Teacher Yan, you flatter me. I'm quite busy with work right now, so I haven't been paying much attention to my son. That's why I came back this time to spend more time with him, chat with him, and find out about his studies at school and his mental state."
Teacher Yan said, "That's right. It's true that children need more communication with their parents. I can see that you, as their father, have had a great influence on Feng Qifan's development."
Feng Haidong said with a smile, "It's mainly because the child is willing to work hard, and also because you, Teacher Yan, teach so well."
Teacher Yan felt a little embarrassed by Feng Haidong's praise.
In fact, during this period, especially after the New Year, Feng Qifan really became very self-disciplined in his studies. It was as if he suddenly had an epiphany, and he could learn very well on his own without much intervention.
When Teacher Yan was chatting with other teachers, some of them couldn't help but praise her.
"If all students could learn independently like Feng Qifan, teachers would have a much easier time."
Teacher Yan was also very curious about what caused Feng Qifan to change so much.
Later, Teacher Yan discussed this with some other teachers.
Everyone felt that Feng Qifan had suddenly gained confidence.
Perhaps it was this confidence that gave Feng Qifan a greater motivation to learn.
This is a very positive driving force.
The more confident you are, the harder you will study; the harder you study, the better your grades will be, and the more confident you will become.
Once this closed loop is formed, it will truly unleash a child's learning potential.
Looking at Feng Haidong, Teacher Yan felt that Feng Qifan's change was still related to his father.
Previously, Teacher Yan had little contact with Feng Haidong.
But ever since that time when Feng Haidong went to the school specifically for his son's sake, and even wrote and published an article, all to support his son.
At that time, Teacher Yan would have thought that Feng Haidong was a father who spoiled his child.
However, after getting to know him better, especially after Feng Qifan's writing improved and his grades also improved.
Teacher Yan discovered that Feng Haidong was not a father who spoiled his child.
He's more like a guide for a child.
Feng Haidong guides his children on how to be confident, how to face problems, and how to solve problems on their own. In particular, he encourages his children to be brave and try new things.
These are things that many parents find difficult to do.
Thinking about all this, Teacher Yan said to Feng Haidong, "Feng Qifan's father, I really admire you now. I originally thought you were a doting father for standing up for your son that time, but now it seems that your support for your son that time has actually made Feng Qifan who he is today."
Feng Haidong smiled and said, "Teacher Yan, don't say that. Actually, it's because he is willing to work hard."
After thinking for a moment, Feng Haidong continued, "I think every child has potential, and encouraging them more will help to better discover that potential and make them more confident."
Teacher Yan nodded: "Yes, I agree with that, and I see that in Feng Qifan."
Feng Haidong said, "Actually, I also want to thank Teacher Yan. If you hadn't made a mistake before, causing Feng Qifan to experience that setback, I might not have had the opportunity to properly educate Feng Qifan and gradually help him build the self-confidence he has today."
Teacher Yan felt a little embarrassed by what was said.
“Feng Qifan’s father, it was indeed my mistake that time. I didn’t investigate thoroughly and made a hasty conclusion. It was definitely my fault.”
Feng Haidong said with a smile, "It's alright. Teacher Yan has already passed away, so let's just let it go. I still believe that you are a good teacher. I am currently doing business in the provincial capital, so I may not be able to come back often. Feng Qifan, I really need to trouble you to take care of me."
Teacher Yan said, "Feng Qifan's father, don't worry, I will definitely teach Feng Qifan well."
At this point, Teacher Yan smiled and said, "I also hope that my students will have better development in the future."
Then, Teacher Yan asked curiously, "Feng Qifan's father, you're doing business in the provincial capital now? Will the whole family move there in the future?"
Feng Haidong did not hide his thoughts: "Yes, I do have such a plan. I want to wait until Feng Qifan finishes primary school, and then I might transfer him to a middle school in the provincial capital."
Teacher Yan nodded: "That's good. The teaching in the middle schools in the provincial capital is indeed better."
Feng Haidong said, "It's not because the provincial capital is better, but mainly because my business is in the provincial capital, and I will probably spend more of my time there in the future. After my child goes to middle school, he may face more problems. I think it's better to have my child by my side so that I can help him understand and deal with any problems in a timely manner."
Teacher Yan nodded seriously and said, "Yes, yes, middle school is a crucial period for a child."
Teacher Yan also attached great importance to this: "Many parents overlook the fact that children in middle school gradually enter puberty. Whether they are boys or girls, they will undergo great changes in both their psychology and physical health. Children at this time need their parents' guidance the most."
Mr. Feng Qifan, you're right. Middle school is a crucial time for children to establish their outlook on life and the world, and parents really can't be absent.
Feng Haidong knew this because he had experienced it in his previous life.
Therefore, in this life, he does not want to miss his son's high school years. He wants to accompany his son through his adolescence as a friend who can listen to him.
