Zhou Xiaoyun’s Happy Life

Chapter 211 Parents’ Meeting (2)

Zhou Guoqiang was a little annoyed at his panic and told himself to stay calm. The children were standing at the back of the classroom watching. There were so many parents and teachers here. Don’t embarrass your daughter Zhou Xiaoyun.

Thinking like this, Zhou Guoqiang finally calmed down, held up his stool and stood up straight like a student.

Ni Liang began to introduce: "Dear parents, this is the father of Zhou Xiaoyun, a classmate in our class. Zhou Xiaoyun is a girl with excellent moral character, loves to study, and is serious and down-to-earth. Her grades have always been very good from the first to the third year of junior high school, and she ranks firmly in our class. The top three. Next, we will ask Zhou Xiaoyun’s father to talk about how he educates his daughter.”

 The parents applauded in amusement.

Zhou Guoqiang thought to himself that I have risked my life today. Fortunately, I have to say a few words. He showed his usual politeness when dealing with people. He was humble at first, and then when the topic changed, he started to praise Zhou Xiaoyun: "When it comes to educating my daughter, , I am very ashamed. Because I am an illiterate farmer and am busy running a small business in the countryside to educate my children, so my family, Zhou Xiaoyun, has been studying abroad since the second grade of junior high school. She has been living in the house for almost two years. She cooks her own meals every day, and now she has to take care of her younger brother, who is in the first grade of junior high school. It can be said that everything she achieves is due to her own efforts. I feel ashamed that I can’t help with my studies. I just want to make money to give my child more money to eat and clothe her well. I think this is also our responsibility as parents!”

Zhou Guoqiang’s simple words resonated with many parents, and some took the lead in applauding.

When Zhou Guoqiang sat down, he secretly glanced back at Zhou Xiaoyun and found that his daughter gave him a thumbs up happily.

Zhou Guoqiang’s heart finally returned to its original position.

 After several parent representatives have finished speaking, it will be time for free communication. Parents can ask questions at will or communicate with teachers individually.

The atmosphere is starting to get lively. Who wouldn’t want to take this opportunity to inquire about their children’s performance status to see if there is any hope of entering a key middle school?

 Zhou Guoqiang started chatting with his deskmate Lin Bo’s mother.

 Lin Bo’s mother has lowered her demands on Lin Bo a lot now. Since Lin Bo recovered and started going to school again, she told Lin Bo that whatever school he misses, his mother will support him.

The smile on Lin Bo’s face is growing day by day, and the mother is naturally comforted. No matter how important your grades are, they are not as important as your child's health!

Lin Bo’s mother had a good impression of Zhou Xiaoyun and asked with concern what Zhou Guoqiang’s plans for her daughter would be in the future.

Zhou Guoqiang said with an honest smile: "As long as she likes it, she can go to any school she wants."

　　Two adults who have found a common language have a good conversation.

The students standing behind also started talking and laughing. Zhou Xiaoyun and Liu Lu were chatting about the eternal central topic of the high school entrance examination.

Zhou Xiaoyun asked: "Liu Lu, your father seems to have very high requirements for you. When he spoke just now, he said that he wanted you to be admitted to the intensive class of Yingming High School."

Liu Lu sighed with a grimace: "Yeah, I didn't expect that there were so few places in the intensive class. I don't know how many students from various urban middle schools and middle schools in other counties came to apply for Yingming High School, and the top 100 were chosen to form two intensive classes. It’s so easy to pass the exam! My father’s requirements for me are too high.”

Zhou Xiaoyun actually has the same goal, but it is not the request of her family but the goal she set for herself. It is said that life without high school education is regrettably unsatisfactory. In her previous life, she always regarded dropping out of school early as the biggest regret in life. She must study in a good high school in this life.

After comforting Liu Lu for a few words, Zhou Xiaoyun asked Liu Lu about her own aspirations: "What school do you want to go to? Don't you want to go to high school?" Liu Lu's grades are pretty good and she should have no problem getting into Yingming High School.

Liu Lu shook her head and said: "Actually, I just want to take the normal college entrance examination. After three years, I can become a primary school teacher. I think that would be good. Why do you have to go to university!" This is Liu Lu's sincere thought. She has determined to be a primary school teacher since she was a child.

Zhou Xiaoyun teased: "Will your parents agree?"

Liu Lu said: "Of course I don't agree. What makes me die is that I have to go to high school. I don't understand. What if my grades are not good after high school and I can't even get into college?"

There are too many examples of girls' grades declining in high school. It is said that when girls reach high school, their minds will not keep up and they will be distracted by love. Liu Lu has always been nervous that she will be one of them, thinking that she might as well take the exam for a normal school early. Where is the school!

Zhou Xiaoyun thought about it and realized that what Liu Lu said made sense. It is true that everyone has their own ambitions, but it is a pity that Liu Lu is destined to listen to her family and her own opinions are insignificant.

Li Tianyu stood behind a row of erect-eared Lao Gao who had been eavesdropping. At this time, he couldn't help but interrupt and asked: "Zhou Xiaoyun, what school will you go to in the future?"

Liu Lu rushed to answer: "Of course it is the intensive class of Yingming High School, who can say that?" Zhou Xiaoyun's grades are so good, he is ranked among the top in his grade, and he is very sure of passing the exam.

Zhou Xiaoyun smiled slightly. If he didn't deny it, then of course he would admit it.

Li Tianyu calculated in his mind that he can currently be around seven or eight in the class. If he works harder in the end, he might be able to get one or two places. He can still rank in the top fifty or sixty in the grade. Calculating it this way, it will definitely be no problem to get admitted to Yingming High School. The key is that it will be quite difficult to enter the intensive class.

I really don’t know who came up with such a thing as the intensive class, Li Tianyu complained in his heart.

 Although the students discussed it a lot, the parents discussed it even more enthusiastically.

Ni Liang deliberately went to the parents of several seed players he had been optimistic about and exchanged opinions with each other.

Zhou Guoqiang couldn’t stop laughing when he heard Ni Liang say that Zhou Xiaoyun hoped to be among the top 100 in the exam. Zhou Guoqiang felt extremely proud in the classroom today to have such a daughter.

By the time the parent-teacher meeting was over and it was almost dark, Zhou Guoqiang asked Zhou Xiaoyun and Xiaobao to sit on a tricycle, put their bicycles on the tricycle and drive home together.

Dabao came home early by car. He was very interested in what happened at today's parent-teacher meeting and asked Zhou Guoqiang what he had said today.

Zhao Yuzhen was also very curious. After hearing Zhou Guoqiang's vivid description, Zhao Yuzhen wished she could have attended the parent-teacher meeting.

Er Yaren comforted Zhao Yuzhen and said, "Mom, when I have a parent-teacher meeting in the future, you can hold it for me."

Zhao Yuzhen smiled and hugged her little daughter.

 Then naturally we talked about Zhou Xiaoyun’s application for the high school entrance examination. Dabao insisted on filling out his choice at that time, so Zhou Guoqiang and his wife asked Zhou Xiaoyun's first choice very clearly.
