Chapter 149 Parents' Meeting - Back to 18, I became rich by spending money
Wen Yan had no idea how much influence he had caused in the Meng family. He would go to the market with his elders every day and play a few games of chess with his grandfather from time to time.
Wen Yi still has another week before his exams and holidays, so the house is very lively during this period, but it has nothing to do with him. Every morning Wen Yan or Wen Mingxiu drives him to school and picks him up in the evening.
The Chinese New Year is all about eating and drinking, so Grandma Wen takes the whole family to the vegetable market and supermarket, buying big and small bags every day.
When Yu Qiu was renovating his house, he specifically ordered a large double-door refrigerator. Even so, there was no room for all the things he bought, not to mention the kitchen cabinets were all full.
In addition, Wen Yan asked Roman to find a piano of collectible value for her, and gave the address at his home.
There is some empty space in the house, so we put a piano there so that Wen Yi can learn when he is free, and other people in the family can also play it when they are free.
Then I ordered a lot of clothes from a familiar sale, gave them my home address, and asked them to ship them directly to my door.
While shopping, Wen Yan saw a bag covered with diamonds in a book. It couldn't hold anything, but she liked it very much. It couldn't hold anything, but it could be collected. However, she asked the sales representative of that brand, and she was told that the Xinyang store was out of stock, and that she might not be able to get it if she adjusted the stock. That model had only been on the market for a short time, but many people bought it as soon as they saw it.
Of course, the price was very good, costing more than 20W. There was no other way, Wen Yan really liked it, so she sent a picture to her boyfriend.
After a while, I saw him reply, "I'll look for it for you in Kyoto in the next two days."
Meng Qinghe is already very experienced, and since the product is not available in the Xinyang counter, it is his turn to come into play.
Wen Yan nodded with satisfaction. Very good, I’ll do it!
There was a parent-teacher meeting on the third day after Wen Yi finished his exams. The Wen couple were very confident in Wen Yi's grades and didn't want to put pressure on him, so they let Wen Yan go.
This was the first time for Wen Yan to attend a parent-teacher meeting. The junior high school that Wen Yi attended was also her former junior high school, so she was very familiar with the school.
Students don’t need to attend parent-teacher meetings, just parents can come and get their report cards.
Sitting among a bunch of aunts and uncles, Wen Yan felt extremely out of place, but fortunately the teacher arrived soon.
First, summarize the past semester, and then ask students and parents to pay attention to the high school entrance examination next semester, etc. Wen Yan can recite this pattern.
Wen Yan looked at Wen Yi's report card and thought it was pretty good. He was second in the class, only five points behind first. This score was enough to get into a good high school, so there was no need to force him to do better.
The head teacher was waiting for Wen Yi's parents to come and have a good chat today. As soon as they came in, he looked around at all the parents he wanted to talk to privately today. Who knew that the one who came was Wen Yan? Everyone knew Wen Yan, the provincial top student. She was the talk of the town last summer.
After the parent-teacher conference was over, Wen Yan was stopped by her homeroom teacher. "Wen Yan, Sister Wen Yi, I didn't expect you to be the one attending the parent-teacher conference for Wen Yi today. Are your parents busy today?"
Wen Yan wasn't at all curious about the homeroom teacher knowing her. "My parents are very satisfied with Wen Yi's current grades and don't want to put too much pressure on him. Plus, our family has been moving recently, so we've been busy a lot. That's why I'm here today."
"Alright, then I'll be straight with you. Wen Yi's grades are good enough for him to get into a good high school, but our teachers all agree that he still has the potential to improve. For example, in this exam, he was only 5 points away from first place and ranked 15th in the grade. He can do better."
Your mother called me before, so we teachers stopped putting pressure on him, but your family should talk to him. We are not putting pressure on him, but he can do better. "
As an older sister, Wen Yan naturally hopes that her brother will just be happy and let things take their own course, without putting too much pressure on him. He should aim for good grades, but not necessarily top-tier ones. "Teacher, I understand your perspective. I also understand that my grades have had a significant impact on my brother, but he's already made a lot of progress. If someone says you're not as good as your sister, it'll put a lot of pressure on him."
Elders often wonder where the pressure comes from for such a young child. But students at this age are shaping their values and perspectives. If they're constantly being told that, they'll develop a character that's insecure. For example, my cousin is in his senior year of high school, and his teacher is wondering if my younger brother's grades could be better.
But first of all, although we are related by blood, each of us is an independent individual. As an older sister, I hope for the best for them, but I don't want my presence to cause them any psychological trauma. It's enough to be excellent, not to be the best. They are all very sensible and know what they should do and what they can achieve.
The head teacher thought carefully about Wen Yan's words, and she had to admit that it made sense. She couldn't look at the problem from a teacher's perspective. From the perspective of his peers, Wen Yi was indeed very outstanding, and there was no need to use his sister as a reference. Since his family said so, she could only give up.
On the way home, Wen Yan took a detour to buy her younger brother an 8-inch chocolate mousse cake that he liked, as there were many people in her family.
When she returned, her family was waiting for her to have lunch.
Although Wen Yi knew that he had done well in the exam, waiting for the results was always bumpy. When he saw Wen Yan coming back, he rushed out and said, "Sister, you're back."
"Here, this is a cake as a reward for you. You did well in the exam. Keep it here and eat it after dinner." She handed the cake in her hand to him.
Wen Yi laughed immediately, his dimples showing, "Thank you, my dearest sister."
After saying that, he took the cake and put it on the coffee table in the living room. He told me to eat less later!!!
"Mom, this is my report card. I'll go upstairs to change my clothes and then come down to eat." He handed them the report card and then went upstairs to change his clothes.
When she came down, she saw her mother holding Wen Yi's grades and talking about where he shouldn't have lost points. Wen Yi was sitting on the sofa, looking listless. Wen Yan quickly called out, "Mom, I'm hungry. Let's eat first."
After dinner, while Wen Yi was away, Wen Yan quickly pulled her mother aside and said, "Mom, I think Wen Yi's grades are pretty good. Please don't criticize him. His grades are obviously the result of his hard work. He worked so hard, but you didn't praise him at all and even found fault with him. What a big blow to him."
Yu Qiu waved her hand. "Okay, okay, I won't nag him anymore. As his sister, you only know how to protect him."
But when Wen Yi rested for a while and was about to eat the cake, he heard his mother say to him, "You did well on the test. Keep up the good work."
Wen Yi, who was originally in a low mood, suddenly became happy.
