When Feng Haidong and Wang Quan met, Feng Haidong asked with a smile, "What? Is it you who's here to interview again? Are you the only one at the newspaper?"
Wang Quan smiled, raised his camera, and said, "There are quite a few people I interview, but I'm not the only one who can conduct interviews, write reports, and take photos, am I?"
As he spoke, Wang Quan looked at the camera in Feng Haidong's hand and said, "Did you just buy this camera?"
Feng Haidong said, "I can't afford to buy one. I borrowed this camera from a friend. My son has a performance today, so I borrowed the camera to take a couple of photos of him."
Wang Quan was somewhat surprised: "Xiao Fan has a performance today too?"
Feng Haidong said, "Yes, Fanfan will be on stage today, and she will have a violin solo."
Wang Quan exclaimed in surprise, "Wow, that's amazing! I never would have guessed. Hai Dong, you're quite good at raising children. Xiao Fan is really multi-talented."
Feng Haidong waved his hand and said, "Actually, this is mainly due to the good education of the school. The affiliated primary school of the Normal University does a better job of developing children's abilities in many aspects, promoting all-round development in morality, intelligence, physical fitness, aesthetics and labor. The affiliated primary school of the Normal University has done a very good job in this regard."
When Wang Quan heard Feng Haidong suddenly say this, he couldn't help but feel a little strange. Why was he suddenly so serious?
However, before Wang Quan could voice his doubts, he heard a voice behind him.
"This student's parent is absolutely right. Our school aims to cultivate high-caliber talents, so students really can't just know how to study by rote. They need to develop morally, intellectually, physically, aesthetically, and practically in an all-round way."
Upon hearing the sound, Wang Quan immediately turned around and saw that it was leaders from the education department and the city who were walking over.
Wang Quan quickly greeted the group and identified himself.
When Principal Wang met Feng Haidong, he introduced Feng Haidong to everyone.
"Oh, this is the parent of one of our school's outstanding students. The student has a performance to give today, so this parent came into the school with him. He is also the author of the article on 'Teacher Ethics' that was published in the newspaper before."
"Also, the student from our school whose essay was recently published in the newspaper is his son."
After hearing these introductions, the leaders naturally looked at Feng Haidong with new respect.
One of the education officials stepped forward and extended his hand to Feng Haidong.
“I know you. Your name is Feng Haidong. Your essay on ‘Teacher’s Ethics’ is indeed very well written, as is your son’s short essay. Although the writing is a bit immature, the emotions expressed and the descriptions are very genuine.”
Feng Haidong naturally recognized the person who had taken the initiative to shake his hand.
Because in his previous life, this man was his father-in-law, who later became his brother-in-law.
The head of this education department is Zhou Xiaoxiao's father, Zhou Shengde.
Feng Haidong never expected that he and Zhou Shengde would meet under such circumstances.
After shaking hands with Zhou Shengde, Feng Haidong humbly said, "Thank you for the praise, leader. Just as I said, I think the teaching quality of our affiliated primary school is indeed excellent. It is precisely because the school implements the teaching method of 'moral, intellectual, physical, aesthetic and labor education' that my son has the opportunity to show himself."
Zhou Shengde and the other leaders looked at each other, and everyone laughed.
Zhou Shengde said, "Feng Haidong, you are a good father. You have made a great contribution to raising your child so well."
At this moment, people from the city also came up and asked, "Where does Xiao Feng work?"
Feng Haidong immediately replied, "Oh, I work at the petrochemical machinery plant."
The other person immediately said, "Oh, you're from the machinery factory. Your factory manager is Nian Zhipeng, right?"
Feng Haidong nodded and replied, "Yes, yes, it was Factory Director Nian."
The other person then said to others, "This student's parent is a worker, yet has such an outstanding child. This shows that often, the joint efforts of teachers and parents are the key to cultivating high-quality students."
Next, Feng Haidong also joined in, discussing many issues related to children's education with leaders from the education department, the city, and the school.
Principal Wang and other school leaders watched as Feng Haidong continued to speak eloquently in front of everyone.
The analysis of educational matters is almost always excellent.
Most importantly, Feng Haidong's words almost always revealed his approval of many of the teaching methods of the affiliated primary school of the Normal University, which can be regarded as a kind of praise for the school in his words.
This gave Principal Wang a completely new understanding of Feng Haidong.
Principal Wang even wondered if Feng Haidong was working specifically in political affairs at the factory.
And when everyone took a group photo, they all tacitly invited Feng Haidong to join them, and Feng Haidong suddenly became a representative of outstanding student parents.
After taking the photos, Wang Quan quietly said to Feng Haidong, "Brother Haidong, I really have to call you brother. You said such good things. It feels like you prepared a script beforehand. I can't believe you said so many of these things if I hadn't heard you say them."
Feng Haidong smiled and said, "I'm just telling the truth. You don't understand until you have children. Once you have children, you'll understand the importance of educating them."
Wang Quan listened and said, "That's right. I've heard many of my colleagues at the newspaper who have children say that children's education is the most important thing these days."
Feng Haidong said, "Yes, our country's future development will require high-quality talent, so children's education is very important. Don't underestimate the current attempts made by the affiliated primary school of the normal school. In the future, these attempts may benefit many children."
After the school leaders accompanied the city and education department leaders on their tour, they sat on the platform set up on the playground. Then, all the teachers and students of the school came downstairs one after another.
Feng Haidong naturally went to the place where the students were preparing for their performance to meet up with his son.
Seeing that his son was already preparing, Feng Haidong smiled and walked up to him.
Feng Qifan was getting ready when he looked up and saw his father arrive. He immediately smiled and said, "Dad, why did you take so long to come?"
Feng Haidong replied, "Isn't this to teach you to prepare on your own? Dad wants to see if you can prepare for your performance on stage without Dad's help."
Upon hearing this, Feng Qifan immediately replied, "Of course, Dad, look, I've already prepared everything."
Looking at his son's confident smile, Feng Haidong felt full of trust in him, believing that his son could perform well in today's show.
After looking his son over, Feng Haidong reached out and put his hand on his son's shoulder and said, "Fanfan, remember this: once you're on stage, all you need to do is show yourself and demonstrate what you've practiced with Teacher Hu during this time. That's all you need to do. Don't worry about anything else."
Feng Qifan looked at his father, though he might not fully understand the complex meaning in his father's eyes.
However, Feng Qifan still knew that his father was encouraging and had high expectations for him.
So he nodded earnestly and said, "Dad, I will perform well."
At that moment, the host's voice rang out from the playground outside, and the school's Children's Day celebration performance officially began.
