"Dad, I'm home."
Feng Haidong, who was writing at his desk, heard the door open and then his son's voice.
"good."
Feng Haidong responded and continued writing at his desk.
After a period of silence in the house, Feng Haidong, having almost finished writing, looked up and caught a glimpse of his son standing at the door.
Feng Haidong turned to look at his son standing at the door, smiled, and asked, "Do you have something to say?"
Feng Qifan hesitated for a moment before finally saying, "Dad, you were really amazing today. You managed to get our teacher, Ms. Yan, to apologize to the three of us."
Feng Haidong smiled and beckoned to his son: "Son, come here."
Feng Qifan was clearly still somewhat afraid of Feng Haidong, but he still came to his father's side.
Feng Haidong looked his son up and down.
My son is still the same as always. Although he is not stupid, he is a little soft-hearted and introverted, lacking a bit of self-confidence.
In my previous life, my son's grades were never very good. Even in his senior year of high school, he put in a lot of effort but only managed to get into a very ordinary vocational college.
Later, his son's work didn't go very smoothly either. Fortunately, his introverted personality made him quite patient, so he eventually made a name for himself. Although he didn't become very rich, he was able to live a stable life.
Looking at his son now, Feng Haidong feels that perhaps it's not too late to help his son change his personality a little.
The way Feng Qifan faced his father, especially the fact that his father just stared at him without saying a word, made him even more afraid.
Feng Haidong suddenly smiled and said, "Son, I've written something and I'm going to submit it to the newspaper. Would you like me to read it to you first and give it your feedback?"
Feng Qifan was stunned when he heard his father say that.
Although I know that my father enjoys writing and writes articles for newspapers in his spare time, and that he has already published quite a few articles in newspapers.
But my father never said that he read it to me before it was published.
And today my father even said he wanted me to give him some feedback?
Feng Qifan could hardly believe that his father was saying these words to him.
After hesitating for a moment, Feng Qifan couldn't help but say, "Dad, I... I can't help you with the selection."
Feng Haidong laughed and said, "Why not? Your Chinese grades are pretty good too. Your teacher Yan even arranged something for you, a one-on-one essay writing competition."
"You can grade your classmates' essays, but you can't grade your dad's?"
Feng Qifan was stunned again, and couldn't say a word for a long time.
Feng Haidong said with a smile, "Don't be nervous. Just think of Dad as your classmate. Can you grade Dad's essay now?"
Finally, Feng Qifan nodded in agreement.
Feng Haidong said, "Okay, then Dad will start reading."
Seeing his son nod again, Feng Haidong began to read aloud: "The title is 'Teacher Ethics,' and the subheading is: The incident of my son's homeroom teacher apologizing..."
Upon hearing the title, Feng Qifan's mouth dropped open in astonishment.
Feng Haidong ignored him and continued reading the manuscript he had written that afternoon after returning from school.
The article uses a three-part structure to describe the relationships between teachers, students, and parents in today's context. It directly points out that some teachers accept gifts from students and parents in private, and that some teachers make money by running small classes outside of school under the guise of tutoring.
Feng Haidong did not directly comment on these points, but instead cited his son's recent incident.
Furthermore, Feng Haidong did not criticize his son's homeroom teacher, Teacher Yan.
Instead, the article praised Teacher Yan extensively and portrayed Teacher Yan's apology to the students as him taking the initiative to recognize his mistakes and apologize to the students.
In the final paragraph, Feng Haidong compares the two types of teacher phenomena, highlighting the central theme of the article: "teacher ethics."
After reading it to his son, Feng Haidong looked at his son, who was dumbfounded.
He smiled and asked, "How was it? Do you think Dad's writing was alright?"
Feng Qifan snapped out of his daze and almost instinctively asked, "Dad, how did you know about our teacher tutoring the students?"
When Feng Haidong heard his son's question, he couldn't help but smile wryly to himself.
Do you really think tutoring classes are a later development?
In fact, Feng Haidong knew that as early as when his son was in elementary school, some teachers at the school were secretly running tutoring classes. Some students in his son's class would go to the teachers' homes for tutoring in private. The teachers would even give the students the school's exam papers in advance so that they could do them several times.
Although he knows the harsh realities behind this, Feng Haidong still hopes that his son can remain innocent.
“Son, those classmates are going to their teachers’ homes for tutoring, which shows they are motivated. If you want to go for tutoring, Dad can talk to your teacher about it.”
Before his son could speak, Feng Haidong continued, "However, Dad hopes you can work hard. Actually, the test scores aren't that important. Dad just hopes you can learn the knowledge seriously. If you really find it difficult and can't learn what the teacher teaches in class, we'll go for tutoring."
Feng Qifan and his father looked at each other, as if this was the first time his young mind had pondered such a complex question.
After some thought, Feng Qifan asked cautiously, "Dad, I want to learn the violin. Can I skip the tutor's house for lessons? I promise I'll work hard to learn."
In his previous life, Feng Haidong always felt that his son had stopped learning the violin, and his son seemed to regret giving up learning the violin for the rest of his life.
Hearing his son say this directly, Feng Haidong is even more certain that his son likes the violin.
