Several students in the class fell ill due to studying, and the teacher specifically mentioned this matter during the parent-teacher meeting.
"We are now pursuing quality education, so parents should not only care about their children's academic performance, but also their physical and mental health."
Xue Wangjun deeply agreed with this. His family never asked Xue Huanyu and Xue Jiayu how high their scores would be in the exams. As long as the children were healthy and happy, that was all that mattered.
The head teacher took out a stack of papers and distributed them to the parents one by one.
"This is the final exam paper. Two students in the class got full marks, one is Xue Jiayu and the other is Zhan Nanqi. Now, I would like to invite the parents of these two students to share their experiences."
All the parents looked at Xue Wangjun, their eyes filled with envy.
Every parent has heard from their children that there is a beautiful and good-looking girl named Xue Jiayu in their grade. When they heard today that Xue Jiayu got full marks, they couldn't help but feel even more envious.
Xue Wangjun stood up and rubbed his hands awkwardly, "Well... as for experience, I don't have much. Because I never ask our child to achieve anything. As long as she is healthy and happy, that's enough."
Some parents showed disdainful expressions, obviously they didn't believe it.
Xue Wangjun didn't care and continued to share: "Her mother and I have already discussed it. As long as she is happy, it's fine. Even if she doesn't study well, her mother and I will support her."
“Ahem.”
The teacher coughed, reminding him not to go off topic.
Xue Wangjun smiled embarrassedly, "So, I really don't have much experience in teaching children to read. Let's leave the time for Zhan Nanqi's parents to talk."
The parents looked at Jiang Peirong again.
Jiang Peirong stood up gracefully, "Hello, parents. I am Zhan Nanqi's mother. Our family, like the Xue family, pursues happy education. Nanqi's situation is special, I think you know it, so I won't go into details. Nanqi has always been a very self-conscious child. We never ask about his studies. We just want to take good care of his health."
Some parents were unhappy. "What's the difference between saying it and not saying it? If you don't want to tell us, you don't have to tell us! It's like we're begging you to tell us."
"But this is really the case in our family." Jiang Peirong looked at them helplessly.
"hehe!"
The teacher quickly said, "Parents, I understand your emotions, but I believe that Jiayu's father and Nanqi's mother have shared everything they can with us. Please understand and stop being picky, okay?"
The parents' meeting ended unhappily, and the teacher found Xue Wangjun and Jiang Peirong and said, "There are two places for admission to the experimental class now. Do they want to fight for it?"
"What are the conditions for applying for the experimental class?"
The teacher took out a document and said, "Basically, we'll look at their grades and awards. They both won first prize in the physics competition last year, which is very important. Plus, they've always been first. Just fill out the application form well. Remember, you can fill out everything else simply, but be sure to write a detailed self-introduction."
Xue Wangjun thanked the teacher and went back with Jiang Peirong.
On the way, Xue Wangjun mentioned Zhan Nanqi's illness, "Nanqi is much better now than before, not so depressed, and loves to laugh."
Speaking of this, Jiang Peirong sighed, "We have to thank your Jiayu a lot. It was she who cured our Nanqi's autism. With her around Nanqi laughing and making noises every day, Nanqi couldn't keep silent."
Although the disease has not been completely cured, Jiang Peirong is already very happy that Zhan Nanqi has recovered to this extent.
"Now Nanqi can not only take care of himself, but we don't have to worry about his studies. Apart from the occasional wild ideas, he is almost like a normal child."
Zhan Nanqi's interest and talent in physics are astounding, and he is extremely hands-on. He has made almost every model he has seen in books.
His room could no longer accommodate the models, so Jiang Peirong specially converted the bookcase in the study into a large cabinet to store Zhan Nanqi's "works".
"That's great. What else do we as parents want? We just want our children to be healthy."
Jiang Peirong glanced out the window and saw a jewelry store, and immediately asked Xue Wangjun to stop the car.
"Old Xue, wait a minute. I'm going to buy a bracelet. Please bring it back to Jiayu for me."
"No! What kind of bracelet do you want to buy? Our Xiaobao has everything."
"No. This is my gift to her."
Xue Wangjun couldn't stop her, so Jiang Peirong rushed into the store and picked out a low-key but expensive pearl bracelet.
When she returned to the car, Xue Wangjun hadn't figured out how to refuse her gift.
"Old Xue, please give this bracelet to her for me and tell her that it's Aunt Jiang's way of thanking her."
Xue Wangjun tried to refuse several times but failed. Instead, Jiang Peirong said with emotion: "Old Xue, you may not understand how much it means to me that Nanqi recovers. The Zhan family is eyeing the company covetously. Aoxiang doesn't say it, but he is most looking forward to Nanqi getting better and becoming his successor."
Jiang Peirong sniffed, "If Nanqi's illness doesn't get better, maybe our family will break up. How can I not thank Jiayu?"
"Why--"
Xue Wangjun quickly pulled out a few pieces of paper and handed them to her, "Okay, okay, I'll take them back for you, don't cry."
"kindness……"
Xue Wangjun returned home with the application form and bracelet. As soon as he opened the door, Xue Huanyu and Xue Jiayu came to greet him.
"dad!"
Xue Wangjun had been busy outside all day and felt so happy at this moment that he was about to ascend to heaven.
Isn't it just for this sentence that I have been busy for so long? He happily agreed.
"Dad, you're going to the parent-teacher meeting today. What will the teacher say?" Xue Huanyu looked at him expectantly.
"The teacher praised my sister for her good academic performance."
Xue Wangjun touched Xue Jiayu's head and said, "How come our little treasure is so smart? He always gets first place in the exams. Dad doesn't have to go to the parents' conferences anymore. The teacher always praises you with the same words."
Upon hearing that Xue Jiayu was first again, Xue Huanyu's mouth immediately lowered.
"What about me? Didn't the teacher mention me?"
"It seems not."
Xue Wangjun scratched his head. He really remembered that the teacher mentioned Xue Huanyu's grades.
"It's okay, Xiaoyu. It might be a good thing that the teacher didn't mention it. It means that your grades are not particularly good, but not particularly bad either. Otherwise, the teacher would have complained to Dad a long time ago! What do you think?"
Xue Huanyu smiled bitterly. Why did her father think these words could comfort her?
Although it is shameful to be a poor student, what is more painful than being a poor student is being an average student who is mediocre and never remembered.
"Oh, Xiaobao, Aunt Jiang asked me to give this to you."
Xue Wangjun handed Xue Jiayu an exquisite gift bag, which immediately attracted Xue Huanyu's attention.
