Shen Huanxi quickly handed the handkerchief over.

"Why are you crying for no reason, kid? Come and wipe it."

Xiao Yutang took Shen Huanxi's handkerchief, lowered his head and shook it.

"I didn't cry, I just accidentally ate some chili seeds, it was a bit spicy."

Zhang Guifen was originally very worried, but after hearing what Xiao Yutang said, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hey, be careful when you eat. You're so reckless and make us worry. Okay, just drink a sip of fermented glutinous rice."

As he said this, he handed the milk, egg and fermented glutinous rice wine to Xiao Yutang.

Shen Huanxi was not so easily fooled, but she didn't ask any more questions.

"Eat slowly. How does it taste? Tangtang, you love vinegar, so I put more vinegar in your bowl. How is it? Is it delicious?" she asked.

Xiao Yutang nodded heavily.

"It's delicious! I've never eaten such delicious fried noodles before. I want to eat it again in the future. Thank you..." As he said this, he gobbled it up.

Zhang Guifen quickly told him to eat slowly.

…

A few days later, it was time for the midterm exams at Taoyuan Experimental Elementary School.

Early in the morning, Shen Huanxi got up to make fried dough sticks and boil eggs.

While the children were washing up, she was already frying dough sticks. She made them extra long today, and each one was crispy and golden. When the children came in after washing up and saw them, they couldn't wait to eat them.

Shen Huanxi also ground some soy milk and asked the children to sit at the table while pouring the milk.

"Today is the midterm exam, Chang'an and Tangtang, each of you should eat a fried dough stick and two eggs, and you must get 100 points." Shen Huanxi said as he handed over the soy milk.

One fried dough stick and two eggs cost one hundred yuan.

"Changning and Zhengzheng, you two can eat as much as you can."

Zhang Guifen walked in.

"I am glad that you are so thoughtful. This was not popular in our family before, and I didn't know how to do this for my children."

"It's just a good wish, Chang'an Tangtang, you two don't need to put too much pressure on yourself, just take as many exams as you can." Shen Huanxi said with a smile.

Xiao Yutang grabbed the fried dough stick and took a big bite. With a "crunch" sound, the fried dough stick was so crispy that it was about to fall apart.

"It's delicious! I'll try my best to do well in the exam!"

"Me too!" Changan continued.

There were no midterm exams in kindergarten, and Changning and Zhengzheng had no idea what the exams were like, so they just ate fried dough sticks and drank soy milk while talking about how their older brothers and sisters had scored 100 points.

Only after Chang'an and Tangtang walked out of the door holding their younger brothers and sisters' hands did Zhang Guifen smile and shake her head.

"He got 100 points. He used to be the last in the class. Last semester, he only got 18 points in Chinese in the final exam. Dashan and Lan Linxiang had a fight over this, and Zhengzheng was scared and cried. I don't expect this kid to get many points in the exam anymore."

When Zhang Guifen said this, she realized that it seemed a bit inappropriate to mention Lan Linxiang in front of Shen Huanxi, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

But Shen Huanxi started to laugh.

"That was in the past. I asked Tangtang. He didn't like studying before. This semester, I saw him and Changan often doing homework and reviewing lessons together. I also tutored him from time to time. The child is very smart. I believe he can make progress."

"Well... thank you, Huanxi. I don't know what good deeds our Xiao family did in the previous life to be able to marry a daughter-in-law like you in this life. I am ashamed of myself. As a grandmother, I have never spent so much energy on my children. Compared with you, Dashan and I are not qualified."

As Zhang Guifen spoke, her eyes turned red and she took out a handkerchief to wipe them.

Shen Huanxi quickly patted her shoulder.

"This is what I should do. You don't have to be polite to me, mom. I'll go wash the dishes first. I have to go to work later."

"You still have to go back to work. I'll clean up the kitchen." Zhang Guifen took the bowl from Shen Huanxi's hand.

Shen Huanxi went back to the house to get her purse and bicycle key. She could still hear Zhang Guifen muttering in the kitchen about being a good daughter-in-law and a good son-in-law, which made her feel ashamed.

Zhang Guifen said that she and Xiao Shanhe were incompetent, but why wasn't she? If she hadn't been reborn, Chang'an and Changning would still be suffering and being abused by Su Chaoyang. They might not even have enough food to eat, let alone study well.

She was just reborn with the debts from her previous life, so she could be more attentive.

Of course, she is also sincere to Eddie Xiao and Eddie Xiao.

When they got married, she made it very clear to Xiao Shanhe that if she wanted a divorce, she could do so at any time and he could not object or say anything.

So if she didn't have a good life in the Xiao family, and Chang'an and Changning didn't have a good life in the Xiao family, she would have divorced long ago. How could she continue to be nice to Xiao Yutang and Xiao Yu?

Zhang Guifen thanked her for her efforts here, but she didn't know that she was just being considerate.

It was autumn and there was nothing to do at work. Shen Huanxi left work early on the day the midterm exam results came out. She went to the market, bought two chickens, and gave the stall owner some extra money to kill them for her before taking them home.

After the exam, both Xiao Yutang and Chang An said that they had done well, but the children's judgment might have been wrong.

Shen Huanxi had thought about it and decided to make delicious food for the children. If they did well in the exam, it would be a reward for them, and if they did not, it would be a comfort for them.

When I came back, I heard the neighbors under the old locust tree were also talking about their children's midterm exams.

"Let him take as many exams as he can. If he doesn't study well, let him go do business with his father. You can make money in business now," said Fang Xiaowan's mother.

Aunt Wei Er joined in.

"It's the same with the two in our family. The eldest one doesn't look like he'll be able to get into high school, so let him go to the provincial capital to make a living. He can work there for a few years and gain experience. If the second one can't learn well, let him follow the eldest one."

When Aunt Jiang saw Shen Huanxi coming back pushing his bicycle, she greeted him.

"Xiao Shen is back. He got off work early today and even killed a chicken."

"Yeah." Shen Huanxi smiled, "What are you talking about?"

"Let's talk about the kids' midterm exams. How were they? What did your kids say? Did they do well?"

"We're all waiting for the results. You guys chat. I'm going home first." Shen Huanxi said and went into the yard.

She was just asking casually just now. She heard clearly what they were talking about just now.

It seems that many people these days still don't realize the importance of academic qualifications.

During the ten years of the Cultural Revolution, intellectuals were the least valuable. Many intellectuals even lost their lives due to persecution. Students did not learn cultural knowledge, and spent their days either participating in this or that movement or reciting quotations.

After a long time that era passed, and a new era of rapid economic development with opportunities everywhere came. Many people went into business and became wealthy, but intellectuals did not become "valuable".

In this context, it is normal that these people do not pay attention to their children's cultural education and do not care about their test scores.

However, Shen Huanxi knew very well that the proportion of nouveau riche was not that high. Cultural knowledge was always a necessity, and the quality of nouveau riche who went into business was no match for those of decent intellectuals.

Therefore, she has been paying close attention to the education of her four children. Even if she has to send them to the Children's Palace to study on weekends, she has to ensure that it does not affect their academic performance.

She entered the house and saw Zhang Guifen hanging clothes. When she saw her come back, she came over to help her carry her things.

"I've already bought the vegetables, why are you buying more?"

"It's a snack for the kids. Look at this chicken." Shen Huanxi picked up the two chickens she had bought and shook them.

Zhang Guifen laughed.

"Of course what you bought is good. I just finished hanging my clothes, I'll cook."

"Together. Mom, you stew a chicken. Use the method I told you last time and add some kaoliang wine. I asked the stall owner to leave the breasts of the two chickens alone. Chicken breasts are not tasty when stewed in soup. I will use them to make spicy chicken shreds for the children."

"Okay, what's shredded chicken with peppers? There's a new recipe. I wonder how many recipes you have in your head that we don't know about." Zhang Guifen smiled.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law went into the kitchen chatting and laughing.

Shen Huanxi also felt that there were many recipes in his head.

In those days, transportation was not convenient and exchanges between different regions were not frequent. Shredded chicken with pepper and pepper is a Sichuan dish and few people in Northwest China make it. It is normal that Zhang Guifen did not know about it.

Shen Huanxi put water in the pot, added cooking wine, put a few slices of ginger and a handful of green onions, put the chicken breast in and started to cook.

Zhang Guifen was chopping chicken on the chopping board, and from time to time she would look at what Shen Huanxi was doing, which made Shen Huanxi frightened.

"Mom, you have a kitchen knife in your hand, so watch out for me. Don't hurt your hands. It's very dangerous."

"It's okay, it's okay. I'm paying attention. I just want to learn. You're busy with work. I learned it from you. I'll do whatever you want in the future. I can still help you while I'm young. Otherwise, I won't be able to help you in the future. ”

"Then I can just call you later."

"Okay." Zhang Guifen didn't want to worry Shen Huanxi, so she focused on chopping the chicken.

The chicken breast still needed to be cooked for a while, so Shen Huanxi took a pair of scissors to cut the dried chilies.

Cut the dried chili peppers into strips, boil the water, and cook the chicken breasts.

She picked it up and soaked it in cold water to cool it down. Then she picked it up again, tore the chicken breast into strips, added soy sauce and salt and mixed them evenly. She then put oil in the pot and put the chicken strips mixed with soy sauce in and stir-fried them to release the moisture.

"Huanxi, are you there?" Shen Huanxi was halfway through making shredded chicken with spicy peppers when she heard someone calling her from outside. It was Jiang Xiaomei.

"Xiaomei, I'm at home, please come in." Shen Huanxi shouted outside.

The door was not closed and Jiang Xiaomei came in quickly.

Shen Huanxi was shocked to see that she wrapped herself up so tightly. It was autumn now, but the weather was not that cold.

Thinking of Jiang Xiaomei's hoarse voice, she realized something.

"Have you caught a cold? Is your throat sore?"

"Let me pour you a glass of water." Zhang Guifen had also put the chicken nuggets in the pot to stew, and since she had nothing to do, she went to pour water for Jiang Xiaomei.

Jiang Xiaomei stopped her and said in a very hoarse voice: "No need, auntie, I'm fine, I don't have a cold."

As she spoke, she took off her hat and the scarf that covered most of her face. Shen Huanxi and Zhang Guifen then saw that she had several bruises on her face. Both the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law were shocked.

"Xiaomei, what's wrong with you?"

"I...had some conflicts with Chenchen's father."

Jiang Xiaomei didn't say it explicitly, but her meaning was very clear: she was a victim of domestic violence and was beaten by Luo Chenchen's father.

"Huanxi, please help me light the fire. I'm going to go out and wash the vegetables." Zhang Guifen is also a person with high emotional intelligence. She knew that Jiang Xiaomei came to Shen Huanxi to complain, so she took the enamel basin and went out with the vegetables.

"Xiaomei, you..."

"It's okay, Huanxi, just do your thing, no need to stop." Jiang Xiaomei saw that Shen Huanxi was halfway through cooking and felt embarrassed to interrupt her.

Shen Huanxi really couldn't stop, so he continued to stir-fry the shredded chicken with chopsticks. The moisture on the shredded chicken was fried out bit by bit, and a layer of mist rose up in the pot.

"What's going on, Xiaomei?" Shen Huanxi asked.

"It's about Chenchen... When Chenchen left home today, he said he might not have done well on the midterm exam. His father didn't say anything at the time, but when the nanny picked up Chenchen to go to school, he started arguing with me, saying that I was doing nothing at home and couldn't teach the child well. He got so angry that he hit me."

As Jiang Xiaomei spoke, tears began to flow again.

Shen Huanxi quickly handed over a handkerchief.

"Wipe your tears first. It's okay. I'll listen to you. If he hits you again, come find me."

Shen Huanxi served the shredded chicken first.

She likes the shredded chicken with pepper and sesame to be drier and more fragrant, and originally wanted to stir-fry it more, but now Jiang Xiaomei is crying here, so she just wants to finish the dish quickly.

Jiang Xiaomei also came at the wrong time. Usually, it was Zhang Guifen who cooked at home most of the time, but she came today when she was cooking.

Shen Huanxi also thought about stopping for the time being and staying with Jiang Xiaomei first, but was pushed back by Jiang Xiaomei.

"I came at the wrong time and disturbed you... But if I don't come out, the kid's father will beat me to death. I have nowhere to go, so I had to come to you. Don't let me delay your cooking. Just continue."

"Well..." Shen Huanxi was helpless. Jiang Xiaomei had been beaten. Even if she stopped what she was doing, she couldn't do anything to help her.

Jiang Xiaomei stood beside her and began to tell her story.

"You know, I don't have much education. His father and I are both from the countryside. How would I know how to educate a child? Chenchen went to school in the village in the first grade, and only moved to the city with us in the second grade. The school in the village is not as good as Taoyuan Primary School, so Chenchen will definitely not be able to keep up with the studies..."

Shen Huanxi heated the oil in the pot again and put the washed chili and peppercorns in to stir-fry. When they were cooked, he put the fried chicken in and continued to stir-fry while listening to Jiang Xiaomei.

She looked at Jiang Xiaomei with disheveled hair, red eyes from crying, and a haggard appearance, and she felt that Jiang Xiaomei looked more familiar.

To be honest, when she first saw Jiang Xiaomei, she felt that she looked familiar, but Jiang Xiaomei was pretty. Isn't there a saying that goes "good-looking people all have similarities, and ugly people all have their own characteristics"? So she didn't take it seriously at the time.

But now seeing Jiang Xiaomei crying so haggardly, she felt that she looked more familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen her.

What surprised her even more was that Jiang Xiaomei's husband actually paid so much attention to their children's education.

Just now when she got home from get off work, she heard her neighbors talking under the old locust tree about letting their children do business if they don't do well in school. She thought that people of this generation didn't pay attention to their children's education, but she didn't expect to be slapped in the face so soon.

Luo Chenchen's father, Luo Bo, even beat Jiang Xiaomei because of Luo Chenchen's poor grades. It is really unexpected that Luo Bo, a nouveau riche from a rural peasant family, pays so much attention to his child's education.

But Shen Huanxi still looked down on men like Luo Bo who beat women.

The peppers and shredded chicken were a little dry after being stir-fried by her, so she added pepper powder, white sesame seeds and five-spice powder and continued to stir-fry. After about another five minutes, the dish was ready and Jiang Xiaomei had finished her confession.

"Huanxi, thank you for listening to me. I'm going to go home first. I have to go home and cook, otherwise the kid's father will beat me again."

"You..." Shen Huanxi really wanted to ask why he was going back. There are only zero times and countless times of domestic violence. If he doesn't want to get a divorce, what are he waiting for?

The words just reached her throat, but she swallowed them back.

In her previous life, she had also been beaten by Feng Shenghui. Zhao Mingyue had advised her to divorce him a long time ago, but she waited until Chang'an was seven years old before divorcing him.

In this era where everyone believes that "it is better to demolish a temple than to destroy a marriage", many people attach great importance to marriage. She divorced Feng Shenghui because she had that idea herself. If Jiang Xiaomei didn't have that idea, it would be useless for her to persuade her.

"Okay, go back first and come back to me if you have anything else."

"Well, I'm really sorry for complaining so much to you today."

"It's okay, we are all friends." Shen Huanxi smiled and watched Jiang Xiaomei leave.

"Xiaomei, are you going back now? Aren't you going to stay for dinner?" Zhang Guifen's voice came from outside.

"No, auntie, maybe next time."

After Jiang Xiaomei went out, Zhang Guifen came back with an enamel basin.

"Oh, such a good daughter-in-law was beaten like that. Xiaomei is so miserable. She met the wrong person." Zhang Guifen sighed.

Shen Huanxi sighed and said nothing more. Jiang Xiaomei didn't have no choice. She could have chosen to divorce. If she didn't divorce, outsiders like them would be helpless.

Not long after Jiang Xiaomei left, the four children came back.

Xiao Yutang and Chang'an both held test papers in their hands, and the two children were very happy.

"Mom! Guess how many points I got in the exam? Guess how many points my brother got?" Chang'an ran to Shen Huanxi.

"How much?" Shen Huanxi looked at the two children who looked so happy and guessed that they must have done well in the exam.

"I scored 98 points in Chinese and 100 points in math, ranking first in the class. I was ranked third in the grade, tied with two other classmates!

My brother scored 100 points in both math and Chinese, and he is the best in the grade. No one can tie with him. My brother is the best! "Mom, look, this is my test paper." Changan said, and unfolded her test paper for Shen Huanxi to see.

"Brother, show your test paper to mom too!"

"Okay." Xiao Yutang also came over and spread out the test paper for Shen Huanxi to see.

Shen Huanxi glanced at the two children's test papers and his eyes became a little moist.

Changan has always had good academic performance since he was young.

In her previous life, her grades had always been among the best since the last grade, but in the end she ended up with such a miserable ending. Shen Huanxi felt guilty and distressed when she thought about it.

Chang'an's life has just begun in this life. She will definitely protect this girl who has been at the top of her class since childhood.

"Well, Changan and Tangtang are both great." Shen Huanxi controlled his emotions and praised the two children.

Zhang Guifen was shocked at first, but she just reacted now.

"What are you talking about? Tangtang got the first place in the grade? This... Tangtang, you always ranked last in the past!" Zhang Guifen took Xiao Yutang's test paper, looked at it again and again, and after a while she was sure that Xiao Yutang had indeed scored full marks in both subjects.

"Hey, Tangtang, you're amazing. You've made great progress, from last to first."

"My brothers and sisters ate the fried dough sticks and eggs made by mom before the exam." Zheng Zheng said seriously.

Shen Huanxi was amused by the child.

"I made fried dough sticks and eggs for them just to express my good wishes. Your brothers and sisters can do well in the exam because they study hard and work hard. Okay, children, go wash your hands. I made a delicious dish for you today."

"Okay!" the four children answered, and went back to the house to put their schoolbags away and wash their hands.

Zhang Guifen was in the kitchen and couldn't help laughing when she thought of Chang'an and Xiao Yutang's achievements.

"Huanxi, I've seen many unhappy couples say that for the sake of their children, they can't get divorced even if they quarrel and fight every day. I think that's bullshit.

Look at how Dashan and Lanlinxiang always quarreled before, and how badly it affected their children. Now you two are remarried in our family, and you live happily. Can't you still raise good children?

Ah Huanxi, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to mention Lan Linxiang, I just wanted to express my feelings."

"It's okay." Shen Huanxi smiled. She was not that petty. Whether they mentioned it or not, Lan Linxiang existed.

She and Zhang Guifen share the same views on marriage and children.

Rather than saying that the broken marriage of parents has a bad influence on children, it is better to say that an unhappy environment has a bad influence on children. Sometimes marriage is for happiness, and divorce is also for happiness. The premise of happiness is not to refuse to divorce.

Take Zhao Mingyue for example. In her previous life, Zhao Mingyue bought sperm for in vitro fertilization and became a single mother. Her daughter Zhao Yinuo had been without a father since she was a child, but she received enough love from her and eventually became an excellent Ivy League student.

Thinking of this, Shen Huanxi suddenly thought of Jiang Xiaomei again.

Luo Chenchen and Xiao Yutang were in the same class. After Xiao Yutang came in after washing his hands, Shen Huanxi asked, "Tangtang, how did Chenchen do on the exam?"

"Chenchen, I failed math. I got 59 points, and I got 64 points in Chinese."

Shen Huanxi frowned when he heard this. If Luo Chenchen got this score, Jiang Xiaomei would probably be beaten again when she returned home.

After a while, Xiao Shanhe also came back. Shen Huanxi told him that both children had got good grades in the exam. He was also very happy. He also said that he had just made improvements to the production line of a tractor factory and earned a sum of money, which he wanted to buy gifts for the two children.

Chang'an wanted a Barbie doll and Xiao Yutang wanted a toy tank, so Xiao Shanhe bought them both. Changning and Zhengzheng also took advantage of their older brother and sister, so Xiao Shanhe bought them the picture books they wanted.

Next is the time for the Taoyuan Elementary School Parent-Teacher Meeting.

The kindergarten does not need to hold a parents' meeting yet, but Chang'an and Xiao Yutang do.

"I want my dad to hold a parents' meeting for me, okay?" Changan took the initiative to ask.

Shen Huanxi was jealous and said in a sour tone:

"Why did you call your dad right away? Don't you want me to open the door for you?"

"No, because my deskmate's father came to the parent-teacher conference. His mother is so pretty. What if my deskmate's father always talks to his mother? So I asked my father to attend the parent-teacher conference for me."

"I'll go open it for Chang'an, and you go open it for Tangtang." Xiao Shanhe had been silent just now, but when he heard Chang'an say this, he spoke immediately.

"Well, let your dad hold the meeting for you, and I'll hold the meeting for Tangtang. Tangtang, will you let me hold the meeting for you?"

"Okay." Xiao Yutang nodded with a smile. Shen Huanxi reached out and touched his head. This time, he didn't even show any sign of resisting.

That night, Shen Huanxi took a bath, went to the study, turned on the light and thought of a new slogan for afforestation. Chang'an saw Xiao Yutang going to the bathroom to take a bath, so he ran to the study to find Shen Huanxi.

"Mom, I didn't disturb you, did I?"

"No, is there anything wrong in Chang'an?" Shen Huanxi put down his pen.

Changan came and sat beside her.

"Mom, I actually don't know who my deskmate asked to attend the parent-teacher conference. I just wanted you to attend the parent-teacher conference for my brother."

"Hmm? Why?"

"Mom, my older brother's and younger brother's biological mother is now someone else's stepmother. The two boys, one named Su Qiangwen and the other Su Qiangwu, are in the same grade as my older brother, but in a different class.

Today they met their brother on the playground and laughed at him, saying that his biological mother wanted them and not his brother, and that his brother had no one who loved him and had no mother.

I saw it at the door of the classroom. If the bell hadn't rung, my brother would have started a fight with them. But he was about to cry, so I wanted my mother to call a parents' meeting for him, so that he would know that he also has a mother, and stop Su Qiangwen and Su Qiangwu from making fun of him. "

"Yeah." Shen Huanxi nodded. She was very pleased to see that her daughter was so sensible and kind.

"Mom, you won't blame me for lying, right?"

"How could that be? Changan is sensible and cares about his family. Mom is so happy, how could she blame you?

Chang'an, your elder brother and your younger brother, although they are not your biological children, but since we are now a family, they are your family.

When you grow up and enter society, you will realize that people outside are unreliable and the only people you can rely on and trust are your family members.

So you and Changning, you should pay more attention to your older brother and younger brother and have a better relationship with them. When your parents are old, you will be the ones who support each other. Do you understand?"

"Yeah." Chang'an nodded heavily.

Xiao Yutang had just come out of the shower. He didn't hear what Shen Huanxi and Chang'an said before. When he came out, he happened to hear Shen Huanxi say that they, brothers and sisters, should support each other. He couldn't help but feel a lump in his throat and his eyes turned red.

…

The parents' meeting was scheduled for the Saturday of the week after the test results came out. Shen Huanxi picked out a pair of light gray skinny pants, a white windbreaker, and a pair of white high heels. She let her hair down, put on some light makeup, and carried a small handbag. She went out beautifully with Xiao Shanhe, Chang'an, and Xiao Yutang.

When they arrived at school, Chang'an took Xiao Shanhe to their classroom.

The first grade classrooms and the second grade classrooms are not in the same teaching building, so Shen Huanxi and Xiao Yutang walked towards their classrooms together.

Today may be the day with the most parents in the school except for the registration day. Parents with their children are everywhere.

Xiao Yutang walked next to Shen Huanxi, as if he was afraid that others didn't know that Shen Huanxi and he were together.

When he saw his classmates, Xiao Yutang raised his head and chest and greeted them loudly.

"Le Le! You and your mother are here! Hello, auntie! I am Le Le's classmate, my name is Xiao Yutang!"

The child called "Le Le" and his mother looked over and saw the young, beautiful, and particularly beautifully dressed Shen Huanxi. Both mother and son's eyes lit up.

Lele's mother came over with a smile.

"You are Xiao Yutang's parent, hello." As he said this, his eyes were fixed on Shen Huanxi's face and he couldn't move them away.

Shen Huanxi smiled and nodded generously, then reached out and shook hands with Lele's mother.

Xiao Yutang became even more excited. Every time he saw a classmate, he shouted loudly, as if he was afraid that Shen Huanxi had not been seen by others.

Shen Huanxi seldom saw Xiao Yutang so lively and so cocky, so she just let him say and do whatever he wanted.

At this time, Lan Linxiang happened to be in the office of Zhou Bin, the head teacher of Class 4, Grade 2, with Su Qiangwen and Su Qiangwu.

Before she married Su Liming, Su Qiangwen and Su Qiangwu had average grades. This time, they ranked first and second in the class, and second and third in the grade. She was proud of it, and the two children's class teachers were also happy.

Su Liming is a well-known wealthy businessman. Su Qiangwen and Su Qiangwu's class teacher must know this, so he takes better care of Su Qiangwen and Su Qiangwu. He greeted Su Liming and Lan Linxiang in advance and asked the couple to bring their children to his office on the day of the parents' meeting so that he could have a heart-to-heart talk with the children.

In fact, the children usually attend classes in school, and the class teacher can see them. Why did he call the children to the office alone on the day of the parents' meeting? Wasn't it just to tell Su Liming and Lan Linxiang that he valued the two children very much?

Most teachers are good, but there are always teachers who are biased towards their superiors in every era.

It's a pity that Su Liming's factory has to place a large order today, so he can't come to school with Lan Linxiang. Fortunately, the two children are in the same class, so one parent is enough.

Zhou Bin kept the two children in the office, praised them, encouraged them, and said that they had made great progress from average students to top students, and kept on improving. He also helped them analyze the reasons why they were deducted points on their test papers.

Lan Linxiang saw Xiao Yutang and Shen Huanxi outside the teachers' office building. She frowned and walked over.

Xiao Yutang was very happy today. The smile on his face never disappeared. His expression fell when he saw Lan Linxiang.

Lan Linxiang's face also looked unhappy.

The last time the mother and son met, they had an unpleasant encounter, and now both of them still have some grudges in their hearts.

Xiao Yutang didn't want to pay any attention to Lan Linxiang and wanted to hide behind Shen Huanxi, but Lan Linxiang stood in front of Shen Huanxi.

"You've been quite busy at the Sanbei Command lately, haven't you? I heard that you've been reselling stamps whenever you've got some free time. I don't think you've had much time to take care of your children and pay attention to their education, have you?"

When Shen Huanxi heard her say this, he frowned.

She has no opinion towards Lan Linxiang, nor will she reject or dislike her just because she is Xiao Shanhe's ex-wife.

This world is a beautiful place. She has many pursuits and goals. She doesn't have time to confine her emotions to the small-scale affairs of men and women and the love between children.

But she didn't want Lan Linxiang to interfere in her children's education.

The last time she met Lan Linxiang at the gate of the Children's Palace, Lan Linxiang was telling her how to raise and educate her children. She was very unhappy at that time. Does Lan Linxiang want to interfere again now?

"Comrade Lan, no matter how busy I am, I have spent more time with Tang Tang Zheng Zheng than you have, and I have also invested more in Tang Tang Zheng Zheng than you have during this period." Shen Huanxi said bluntly.

Xiao Yutang smiled calmly without making any sound.

After hearing what Shen Huanxi said, Lan Linxiang felt like a fire suddenly burning in her heart.

"Shen Huanxi, I don't want to quarrel with you, and you don't have to quarrel with me. I am a legitimate mother and I will not harm them. Just think of it as me asking you for help. Just listen to me. Your way of educating children is wrong.

I am not bragging. My two stepsons used to have average grades. I have only been taking care of and educating them for a short time, but now they are already first and second in their class and third and fourth in their grade.

I certainly hope to be upright. If you also want to be a good stepmother and want your children to grow up to be successful, then you should listen to me and stop letting them learn martial arts or painting.

For children like Tangtang Zhengzheng who have never been outstanding since childhood, it is useless to let them learn those things. If you don’t listen to me and let them go to more elegant extracurricular classes, then you should focus on their grades…”

"Comrade Lan, I can educate my child myself. I don't need you to teach me." Shen Huanxi was unhappy when he heard Lan Linxiang say that Tangtang Zhengzheng "has not been outstanding since childhood."

Lan Linxiang kept saying that she was an upright mother and that she would do things for the sake of the upright. But had she ever respected the upright and cared for the upright's emotions? How could she say that to the child in front of him?

Shen Huanxi thinks that Lan Linxiang may really care about Xiao Yutang and Xiao Yuzheng, otherwise she wouldn't be so disappointed in them. However, she does not agree with Lan Linxiang's educational methods.

"Comrade Lan, my child is very good. He has been very good since he was young. Although Tangtang's grades were not good before, he is responsible and caring. These are his strengths. Because of these, he is qualified to be called a man of integrity. You can't judge a child only by his grades."

"Shen Huanxi, you just don't understand education! No wonder you can't raise a good child. If you don't look at the grades of such children from poor families, what do you look at? Do they have good character?

But when you enter the society, you need a degree and a diploma to get you into the society. If you don’t have any degree, what can you use to prove your success? You are also a parent. You are not worried when your child’s grades are not good, and you say such ridiculous things! "

"Comrade Lan, my child's grades are not bad. Tangtang has made great progress. This time..."

"He always ranked last in the exams before, but he has so much room for improvement. Is it strange that he has made great progress?" Lan Linxiang interrupted Shen Huanxi in a confused manner.

Every time Xiao Shanhe saw her, he would call her "Comrade Lan", and now Shen Huanxi also called her that. Did this newly remarried couple discuss this beforehand? Or did they just have such a tacit understanding after living together for a while?

Anyway, she didn't want to hear Shen Huanxi say so much. Thinking of how Xiao Yutang became a murderer in his previous life, how Xiao Yuzheng committed suicide due to depression, and how Chang'an and Changning were both unsuccessful, she didn't believe Shen Huanxi.

"Shen Huanxi, I was able to educate my two step-sons to become the second and third in the grade, so I have the confidence to tell you that I am better at educating children than you. You can't let Xiao Yutang and Xiao Yuzheng continue like this. You didn't listen to me last time. I'll say it again this time, don't let them go to any martial arts or painting classes!"

"Let's go." Lan Linxiang said this. Before Shen Huanxi could say anything, Xiao Yutang pulled the corner of Shen Huanxi's clothes. He couldn't listen anymore.

Shen Huanxi nodded. Since they were not on the same page, there was no point in talking to Lan Linxiang any more. It would be endless if he continued like this.

She didn't say anything more to Lan Linxiang, and just took Xiao Yutang away.

Lan Linxiang almost stamped her feet. Shen Huanxi, who had raised two low-level figures in Chang'an and Changning in his previous life, had no qualifications to disobey her.

Isn’t it the best proof that she is good at educating children that she was able to educate Su Qiangwen and Su Qiangwu to the second or third place in their grade?

Lan Linxiang was unwilling to give up and wanted to catch up with Shen Huanxi to argue with him, but then she saw Shen Huanxi and Xiao Yutang met Xiao Yutang's class teacher Chen Guilin.

Chen Guilin looked at Xiao Yutang with a look of relief.

"Yu Tang is really a dark horse. No one would have thought that Yu Tang, who had ranked last in the exams four times in a row, would actually rank first in the grade this time. Yu Tang, you must not be too proud."

Xiao Yutang nodded.

"The teacher I know, Mr. Chen, is never too proud to win, and never too satisfied to lose!"

"Yes!" Chen Guilin nodded with satisfaction, then looked at Shen Huanxi, "You teach well, but don't put too much pressure on the child. He got first place in the exam this time, which shows that he is very smart, but his grades were not good in the first grade, so his foundation is weak, and he still needs to strengthen it."

"I know, Teacher Chen. I will help the child consolidate his constitution when I get back." Shen Huanxi said with a smile.

Lan Linxiang was standing not far behind Shen Huanxi and Xiao Yutang. When she heard the conversation between the three of them, she was completely stunned.

…

The first step of the parent-teacher meeting is for all parents to go to the playground and sit according to their class positions to listen to speeches by the principal and school leaders.

The children had already helped their parents move the small stools to the designated locations in advance.
