Chapter 23 Chapter 22 Parents' Meeting (Part 2) (No.119—No.128)

Hearing the bell ringing after class scratched the melody in the earphones, I started to pack my schoolbag silently. The anxious parents have already entered the house one after another, and many students greeted their high hall before they finished packing, which happened to let the parents recognize their seats. I felt a hand gently covering my shoulder, turned my face, and saw Aunt Qi's gentle smile. I took off the earphones, grinned reluctantly at her, and was just about to call "Aunt Qi", when I caught a glimpse of Yu Huai with a curious expression on his face. call mom?She couldn't open her mouth.

When I was so embarrassed, Aunt Qi patted me on the shoulder and said, "Geng Geng, is this your tablemate?" Yu Huai stood at attention: "Hello, Auntie, my name is Yu Huai." Aunt Qi smiled and said, "I thought you Zhenhua were all nerds wearing glasses. I never thought there would be such a spirited young man." I rely on.Yu Huai's smiling face made me want to kick him so much. At this moment, Zhang Ping walked in, Yu Huai stared blankly at the podium, and said softly: "I rely on..." Maybe because Aunt Qi was beside him, he suddenly shut up in the middle of speaking, and only the voiceless sound of K was pronounced in the word "reliable", which made me dumbfounded.

I looked up and saw Zhang Ping in front of the podium wearing a white shirt and tie.The tie seemed a bit tight, and he kept loosening the neckline, acting like a real estate agent who just came to the city from the countryside. Yu Huai and I looked at each other, we couldn't hold back any longer, and we both burst into laughter. Aunt Qi was a little confused by our laughter, but helplessly and tolerantly reached out to help me smooth my broken hair behind my ears.When her hand touched mine, I was surprisingly not disgusted. "What are you laughing at, baring your teeth and claws in the classroom!"

The tone was a little accusatory.I was taken aback and didn't dare to continue laughing. I looked up and saw a middle-aged woman with short hair. Yu Huai frowned quickly. "Mom!" He stopped smiling, nodded to his mother, then lowered his head and continued to pack his schoolbag. It turned out to be Yu Huai's mother.Immediately I was a little nervous - I don't know what I was nervous about. Yu Huai's mother seemed quite used to Yu Huai's impatient attitude, she also frowned briefly, but didn't say anything.Her eyes quickly shifted to me and Aunt Qi. "Hello, Auntie!" I tried to smile normally, "I am Yu Huai's deskmate, my name is Geng Geng, this is..."

I suddenly didn't know how to introduce Aunt Qi, and my mind went blank for a moment. It was Aunt Qi who took the conversation by herself: "Hello, big sister, I'm a colleague of Geng Geng's father. Her parents are unable to come because of something, so I entrusted me to come over for a parent-teacher meeting." My heart was relieved, and I couldn't help but glance at Aunt Qi, and she happened to look over, with a smile in her eyes. I bow my head. Yu Huai's mother forced a smile: "Oh, hello. So this is Geng Geng. When Yu Huai mentioned it before, I thought it was a little boy from the name."

"I just said that I didn't expect Yu Huai to study so well and be so energetic. He's different from those frail little boys. This kid is very polite and attractive." Yu Huai's mother and Aunt Qi stood by the aisle and exchanged pleasantries. Yu Huai was still packing his schoolbag with a sullen face, but when he heard Aunt Qi's words, the corners of his mouth curled up suspiciously. "She's just being polite." I said softly. Yu Huai glanced over viciously: "That's also my place where I can be polite, young master. Some people can't be polite even if they ask others to be polite!"

After Yu Huai finished speaking, he pouted at Zhang Ping, who was still stretching his neck in front of the podium and was nervous. I stared blankly at Zhang Ping for a long time, and I had to admit that Zhang Ping had played too much, leaving little room for politeness. Out of the corner of my eye, I felt Yu Huai's mother look up at me, but when she turned her head, she looked away. Yu Huai and I picked up our schoolbags and prepared to leave the classroom.The parents had almost arrived, and Xu Yanliang and Han Xu started handing out the exam rankings side by side. The thick stack of snow-white report cards in Han Xu's hand made my heart sink suddenly.

"Are you going home or are you waiting here for me to go back after the parents' meeting?" Yu Huai's mother stopped him. "Go home." Yu Huai walked out without looking back. Yu Huai's mother stared, and wanted to say something, but saw that I was still standing aside like an idiot, and swallowed it again. "Aunt Qi, then I'm home Thank you." Aunt Qi smiled and nodded at me.Seeing that Han Xu's report card was about to be sent to our row, I turned around and ran away. I made a big circle, ran to the front of the podium, passed by Zhang Ping, and said softly, "Team leader, don't be nervous, and take on the challenge calmly."

Zhang Ping was stunned for a moment, and nodded solemnly at me as if he was serious. He was accidentally strangled by the necktie, and quickly raised his right hand to loosen it. "But please don't dress like this next time." I will add one more sentence. Zhang Ping's face turned red. "Thank you. After a parent meeting, I will give you a good 'praise'." He threatened with a "hehe" smile, and returned to his usual cheerful rural youth, not at all like a novice who wants to sell houses to others intermediary.I made sure of it, then turned and slipped through the front door.

I hope parents can like Zhang Ping. I know that adults see things from a completely different perspective than I do.The better the teacher has a good relationship with the students, the more "unstoppable" and "unreliable" in their eyes, especially Zhang Ping is so young, the kind of person like my mother can't wait to change my class when she hears about his qualifications. I think at least half of the parents in the class are thinking this way. But I hope that Zhang Ping can be loved by the parents and take us all the way to the third year of high school.No matter how black the third year of senior high school is, it will become a little brighter against Zhang Ping's dark skin, right?

"What did you tell the boss?" As soon as I ran to the door, I saw Yu Huai on the opposite side. He was standing there with his back against the wall, his face darker than Zhang Ping's. "What's wrong with you? Didn't you go home?" "I can't go home yet." "Is something wrong?" Yu Huai didn't say anything, and didn't know what he was upset about, so he glanced at me, turned around and left.The schoolbag was swinging behind his buttocks. In the noisy corridor, for some reason, this rhythm was very clear to my ears. I catch up. "what happened to you?" "What's so cool about it!" "Where did you get this cool routine? Glance at someone and turn away. What does that mean? 'Come on, girl'?" I chattered endlessly behind Yu Huai's butt, but he ignored me until he heard this sentence, he turned around and gave me a condescending and disgusting glance. "Chick? Just you?" "What kind of pot should match what kind of lid? A guy like you can only take a girl like me to wander around the world." Geng Geng, well done, Shameless is so calm and generous. As soon as Yu Huai's smelly face loosened a bit, we all noticed that β was dangling around like a ghost. "Are you waiting for simplicity?" I asked. "Not waiting." β's eyes were empty. "Then you wait for your parents?" "My parents didn't come." "why?" β looked at me faintly: "Because I didn't inform my parents about the parent-teacher meeting today." Yu Huai asked puzzledly, "Why?" I glanced at Yu Huai.This two is missing. The score of β is estimated to be in the bottom five in class five, especially in mathematics. I wish I could only get a fraction of Yu Huai's score. "Then what do you do?" I looked at her with some anxiety. β also turned his head, his eyes finally no longer blank: "Geng Geng, do you know where the talent market closest to the school is?" I shook my head, and Yu Huai became even more interested: "Why are you looking for a talent market?" β looked serious: "I want to hire myself a father." Yu Huai and I sat side by side on the balcony of the administrative district. The lights are never turned on in the administrative area at night, and we just sit in the growing darkness, with our backs against the same huge pane of glass.The hustle and bustle of voices in the teaching area seemed to be smothered in a cauldron, and only the sound of bubbles bursting could be heard. Winter in the north has finally come with a bang. During the day, it seemed that I hadn’t done anything. I buried my head in front of the paper and frowning. When I raised my head suddenly, the outside was already gray and blue. Sometimes people would be in a trance, wondering where the time had gone. The measurement unit of time has always been changeable. For Yu Huai, a daytime may be half a physics exercise book, hundreds of multiple-choice questions, or dozens of new words-but for me, it is a painful struggle. Afterwards, the unfilled void in the brain; it's the unfulfilled depression between sunrise and sunset. So whenever I find that the night falls without my warning, there will always be a kind of panic overflowing from the bottom of my heart, which cannot be eliminated for a while, and it becomes hypocritical when I say it.At that moment, I really wanted to grab someone next to me—but I thought, Yu Huai would not understand me. Unfortunately, I am the unhappiest person in the world. I have no ability, but I am self-motivated; I have no talent, but I have dreams; the harder I work, the sadder I am. Every day that I do nothing and grow nowhere, time moves forward a little bit and leaves me where I am. Day after day, I am left further and further behind by the world. How could Yu Huai understand?He is a man who moves faster than time. "What's wrong with you?" After thinking about it, I still asked. Yu Huai said he wouldn't wait for his mother, but he still didn't come home.From the moment he met his mother, something was wrong with him.I want to know why. Of course, I said go home, and I still sit here, but my reason is very simple. because of him. "nothing." I guessed that was the answer and was not disappointed.After all, it is someone else's family business. If Yu Huai asked me who Aunt Qi is right now, I think I would give him an answer without hesitation. "I'm just annoying my mom." My image of being very considerate and tolerant just now was completely ruined by his confession. "You are puberty." I said earnestly. "No." He denied it very firmly, but he didn't intend to provoke me deliberately. So I don't know what to say.Inexplicably praising a middle-aged woman I don’t know in order to calm his emotions is not my specialty, not to mention his mother’s nonsensical sentence “What are you laughing at?”, I don’t feel very comfortable . Forget it, I still have a lot of bad things at home. So we both have nothing to say.Sitting side by side like this, listening to the voices in the teaching area gradually fade away, leaving only a light exposed in the distance. Suddenly my heart became very peaceful. I think of Aunt Qi. I think if my own mother came to the parent-teacher meeting today, she wouldn't behave better than Aunt Qi, and she might even make me lose face in front of Yu Huai after a few words.For the first time, I am glad that she is a kind "outsider".There are so many obvious ways of getting along, only "outsiders" are willing to abide by, and carefully stay away from the bottom line called dignity--it's not that the relatives don't understand it, but their feelings overwhelm this line, and they lean over without any scruples. As for what she was thinking when she saw my report card, I suddenly didn't care.Even if she laughs in her heart that I was admitted to Zhenhua but still at the bottom, even if she reminds her son that when he grows up, he will never be as useless as me... No matter what she thinks, I believe she will not reveal the slightest bit to let me know. This is already the greatest mercy between people, how could I not appreciate it. We sat there and talked a lot that night.I listened to Yu Huai talking about those legendary figures in their middle school attached to Normal University, and matched these deeds with the faces I will see one by one now and in the future. For the first time, I felt like I was living in a huge net . "That's awesome," I said sincerely.I don’t know if it’s because he became enlightened after being hit one after another, “Actually, I’ve heard of some of the people you mentioned before, and of course they’re even more powerful than what you told me—you know, rumors, It has swelled several times." "It's nothing special. After three years, you will know these people, you will become very familiar, and you will know more and more that they are no big deal." It's no big deal if you're familiar with it.Then they separated and became more and more unfamiliar. Looking at them in other fields, they really became even more powerful people.And the best thing about me is that I was familiar with them. I don't want the conversation to get too sentimental. "What about Mr. Yu Huai, who is also a legendary figure?" I asked with a smile. "Oh, he, he is indeed a 'big deal'." Yu Huai looked serious. Ok.I know that too.But I didn't say it. "Do you regret coming to Zhenhua?" Yu Huai suddenly asked without thinking. I didn't expect him to ask me like this all of a sudden. The question was straightforward, but I didn't feel offended.My first reaction was to nod—but I didn't know what was blocking my neck, and I wasn't as happy as I expected. Is Zhenhua not good?Although it is not suitable for me now, let me choose again, will I really not come?When my dad helped me fill in the list of Zhenhua on the volunteer form, did I stop him? I turned to look at Yu Huai, his profile was not blurred even in the dark night, as if he couldn't blend in.It does make me full of frustration here, but the people who defeat me don't make me hate it. The administrative area connects the laboratory area and the teaching area, and there are lights in the corridors on both sides, only us sitting in the middle are like bugs trapped in a cement pipe. I sighed lightly, and leaned my back against the glass, and after a while, I felt a bit of coolness. "I don't regret coming here," I said with certainty. I just regret it, how could I be so stupid. Yu Huai smiled. "dedicated?" "Ok?" "Let's sit at the same table all the time." He said such a sentence without thinking and without reason. My heart suddenly beat wildly. Not only did time not take me away, but it took a big step back, back to a certain golden afternoon, he said to me, Geng Geng, let's sit at the same table. Let's sit at the same table, let's always sit at the same table. "Okay." I looked at him and nodded. This is something that is not up to us at all, but we made a decision early on. Yu Huai jumped off the window sill when he heard the human voice from the teaching area. "Why don't you go home yet?" The question that should have been asked an hour and a half ago, he said now, completely confused me.Yu Huai patted his butt, seeing that I was not moving, he raised his eyebrows to look at me. "Don't look at people like that, you will have forehead wrinkles!" I changed the subject seriously. "I have something to do, you go home." He didn't continue to ask me why, but waved me away like dismissing a child. "what's up?" "It's none of your business anyway." "Your mother wants to give Zhang Ping money as a gift?" "It's your mother who wants to give Zhang Ping money and presents!" "Then what the hell are you doing so mysteriously!" Yu Huai's expression seemed to be constipated.I don't think it's good to force others, so I also jumped off the window sill, picked up my schoolbag and said impatiently, "Okay, I'll go home, you can go through the back door quickly." For the first time, Yu Huai did not continue to fight with me, but waved his hand at me, said to be careful on the road, then turned and walked towards the teaching area. I also trot two steps toward the stairs. Then the moment he turned into the teaching area, he turned around and followed. The action is smooth and flowing. I have a natural air about everything I do that is not serious. Yu Huai did not enter the classroom.Our class is in the middle of the corridor on the second floor of Area A of the teaching area, and the parent meeting of several classes on the second floor has not yet ended.Yu Huai stood alone a certain distance from the back door of our class, looking at the situation inside through the door glass. I can only stand at the corner and glance at it from a distance from time to time.There is not even a pillar in the corridor, which is very unfavorable for me to play. However, Yu Huai's actions made me very puzzled. This is not like a top student, only those who have caused a catastrophe will rush to keep an eye on the progress of the parent meeting, right?Or is it that his mother is very strict, and if she doesn't get the first place in the exam, she has to kneel on the threshold for three hours when she returns home? I was thinking wildly, but he turned around leisurely and looked back, which scared me so much that I hurriedly retracted my head. After taking a breath, I remembered that there is a camera in my schoolbag. If I stick out the lens of the camera a little bit and use the video function to observe it, wouldn’t it be all right?Anyway, with such a small lens, it is ten meters away, and the light is dim, so he will definitely not notice it. So I did this, I was not ready at the beginning, "click" to take a picture first, I quickly stopped, lowered my head and re-adjusted to video mode. Then, I felt someone watching me. is beta.She was looking at me strangely. "Why are you so perverted?" She was heartbroken. "You've already hired your father, how dare you talk about me?" I won this confrontation, β touched his nose and didn't reply. "Have you hired dad yet?" I continued to interrupt. "None of them have the temperament to be a father." β shook his head sadly, "What are you doing?" "What are you doing again?" I dodged her question. "I'm going to talk to Zhang Ping in person. Life is still up to you." She also made a clenched fist in coordination, making it unbearable to look at. I admire her a lot, she can say no matter how out of tune she says it seems to be true. "What the hell are you doing?" Then she asked a second time. "I'm waiting for my mother." I made up a reason casually. "Why is waiting for your mother like a thief? Wait at the door and stay with me." She grabbed my arm and was about to drag me to the door. Before I could struggle, she staggered , and rushed towards the corridor. Fortunately, at this moment, the front and rear doors of the class were opened, and parents rushed out in twos and threes, like a natural barrier, filling the distance between Yu Huai and me. β froze, a trace of panic flashed across his face, and let go of my hand.At this time, I saw Yu Huai walking in through the back door from the corner of my eye, so I didn't care about comforting β, and quickly followed in a sneaky way. "Where are you going, Geng Geng? Are you talking about loyalty!" "You still have to master your own life!" I threw her a sentence without looking back. In fact, it is difficult for me to understand those parents who surround the podium with three floors inside and three floors outside.Although my mom would have done the same if she was there. At this moment, the expectant faces surrounding Zhang Ping are actually filled with distrust of the child behind the anxiety, right?I still remember when I was in elementary school, I used to wait in the hallway to go home with my parents.When the door opened at that time, the parents of the squad leader and squadron leader were always the first to leave—their children are so good, what is there to ask? However, is this trust based on the child's own knowledge, or is it because of the report card and the teacher's praise at the parent meeting? I asked my dad this question, and he said, where in the world is there so much trust for no reason, even between parents and children, you need to use practical actions to gain respect. I was surrounded by him at that time, and I thought it was very reasonable: "You have to use practical actions to win the respect and trust of your parents, Geng Geng." Later, as I grew up, I became more and more confused.What is the actual action?Is it grades?Is it ranking?No parent believes that their child is stupid and inferior to others. To say that the child is stupid is to call the father stupid-so the decline in grades can only be speculated. You don’t study hard, you are playful, you fall in love early, and you learn badly ,you…… Trust because of a ranking, and doubt because of a ranking. Even if there is no trust and love for no reason, the reason itself should not be so fragile and pale. You are the one who raised the child for more than ten years, Zhang Ping is a stranger, do you really know what the child is thinking better than you? Fortunately, it was Aunt Qi who came today.From a distance, I saw her pack up her things and get up and walk towards the door, so I hid aside and waited for her to leave before slipping in through the back door. Yu Huai didn't notice me, he was sitting in the second row of the group by the window, staring closely at his mother's figure - as a top student, his mother was standing in the encirclement with an earnest smile at this moment Here, the corners of his eyes and brows revealed his impatience towards a certain woman who was chattering and pulling Zhang Ping to ask things. He didn't even know that his son was staring at her. After thinking about it, I walked out of the classroom and walked around from the back door to the front door.There is a sea of ​​people between Yu Huai and the front door, he will never find me, and this way I can hear clearly what his mother is going to say to the teacher. I deliberately ignored how perverted my behavior was. In my opinion, this kind of critical moment is not suitable for too many intense and profound psychological activities. Coincidentally, just as I walked to the front door, I heard Yu Huai's mother's opening remarks. "Mr. Zhang, I am Yu Huai's mother." When Zhang Ping smiled, his eyes disappeared. "Oh, hello, hello, this kid Yu Huai is very good. I don't have anything to tell you. He is very independent and smart in his studies. In short, he has a serious business and you don't have to worry about it." I guess Zhang Ping was also being nagged hard, and before Yu Huai's mother could hold back a word, he immediately stepped on the switch and blocked him with a machine gun. However, Yu Huai had nothing to worry about.Very serious, hmm. I crossed my arms and nodded deeply, not knowing what kind of relationship I had with Yourong. Then, I heard his mother ask eagerly: "Mr. Zhang, the reason I'm looking for you is, can you change the seat for him? Let him sit next to the boy."
