The language teacher is facing the same "dilemma" as the math teacher, and Teacher Zhou distributes the test papers from high to low scores. The seven little friends around Xiaojing still belong to the first batch of good students who received the test papers. Xiaojing continues to be the last one to receive the test paper under everyone's attention (expectation?), but fortunately, her language score is slightly higher than math - 17 points!!
At least her binary code-like pinyin has a pretty high recognition rate, such as "o", "u", and "l". So, she's really better at language than math... Really? You're too naive!!
In the teacher's complicated eyes, in the classmates' various envious, jealous and hateful gazes, Xiao Jing dusted off her test papers with a satisfied smile and stuffed them into her backpack. With a total score of 19 points, she wondered what reward she would get from her dad. The once carefree and desireless nun-like girl couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation.
On weekends, no matter how unwilling students are, apocalyptic parents will still arrive on time.
At one thirty in the afternoon, a large number of parents appeared in the small campus, including young parents and elderly grandparents. It was just like the first day of registration, with some families even coming out in full force. Xiao Jingchen was still being carried by his silly dad as they walked into the classroom.
Bai Xijing sat in Xiao Jingchen's seat, while Xiao Jingchen sat on his father's lap. To the left were Tang Miao and her father, and to the right were Wei Shu and his mother. Tang Miao's father was an ordinary working-class man wearing a dark-colored casual jacket. He smiled slightly when greeting others and took the initiative to greet Bai Xijing. His attitude was neither arrogant nor humble, enthusiastic but not annoying. Bai Xijing nodded slightly in response.
Tang Miao quietly pulled her father and whispered, "Dad has a bit of OCD, don't get machine oil on him."
Tang's father glanced at Bai Xijing's spotless white suit, rubbed his nose discreetly, and imperceptibly pushed the stool away. No way, work required it, clothes often got stained with engine oil, which was hard to wash off once it got on, so he preferred wearing dark-colored clothes.
The garrison's mother was very simple, her clothes were older than the garrison's, but they were washed very clean, and she looked refreshed. Although she looked a bit old-fashioned, she had a kind of rustic thickness, she smiled at Bai Xijing, a little awkward and nervous, and Bai Xijing nodded slightly in response.
Wei Yu kept his head down, feeling Bai Xijing's "approachable and humble" demeanor. He couldn't help but slightly curve the corners of his mouth, and in the eyes behind his messy hair, a bright light sparkled - it turned out that White Dust's dad was also a good person, just like her!!
Qian's father sat on his son's bench, constantly glancing at Bai Xijing, but unfortunately, Bai Xijing obviously didn't plan to communicate with him, and in between, there was also Tang Miao Miao and her daughter. Qian's father eventually gave up the idea of going forward to chat, now that his son had a good relationship with the young master of the Bai family, and his recent business had been smooth sailing, so he just maintained it like this. One can't be too greedy. Being too greedy might lead to unintended consequences, and when that happens, he wouldn't even have anywhere to cry.
Qian Dad, who was completely focused on Bai Xijing, had no idea that Shangguan Mom, sitting on the other side of Wei's mom, had almost pierced him with her gaze - divorced couples can't afford to be hurt, right?
The second row's Song Chao "father" had been secretly staring at the front row's Bai Xijing. Suddenly, the little Jingyun who was lying in her foolish father's arms poked his head out of his father's shoulder and looked at "Song Dad", saying, "Uncle, why are you always staring at my dad?"
"Song Dad" slightly stunned, hastily shook his head, "Sorry, he was sitting right in front of me, so when I looked up, all I saw was his back, sorry."
Xiao Jingchen naively accepted his reason and nodded on her own, "Since you've apologized, I'll say it's no big deal!"
"I" ≠ "Dad" = I said it's okay ≠ Dad also said it's okay, so, uncle, continue to apologize to stupid dad! ~ !
Song Chao, in a place where others couldn't see, used his soft and limp little fingers to pinch the soft flesh on "Song Papa's" waist, performing a 360-degree spin with all his might. "Song Papa" was in so much pain that his muscles were twisted, but he still insisted on maintaining his calm and collected demeanor, it was simply unbearable!
Amy's mom and Luojiani's mom somehow hit it off, chatting enthusiastically from cosmetics to parenting experiences, from hair care to the latest popular dog-blood drama series, completely ignoring the electrifying eye contact between their own daughters.
In short, the students of Class 2, Grade 1 were united and consistent in their own way, while the parents had undercurrents and turbulent emotions. The two teachers standing on the podium felt very heartbroken!
The parent-teacher conference seems to be just that routine, first talking about the difficulty of this mid-term exam, letting parents judge their children's learning situation based on their scores, and then roughly talking about the students' performance in school, focusing on criticizing or praising a few typical ones.
Ms. Ruan was originally going to use Xiao Jingchen as the biggest example, but just as she was about to mention the little guy, Bai Xijing inexplicably raised his eyes, and his sharp gaze pierced through the glass lenses in an instant, leaving Ms. Ruan's weak heart with a thousand holes. Unconsciously avoiding his line of sight, she instead collided with Xiao Jingchen's innocent and pure eyes. Under the baptism of fire and ice, Ms. Ruan silently swallowed back the words that had reached her lips.
Bai Xi Jing didn't mind Xiao Jingyan's poor grades, but that didn't mean he wanted his daughter to become a laughing stock in other people's mouths. With math scores of 2 points and language scores of 17 points, even Bai Xi Jing, who doted on his daughter, couldn't bring himself to say something as insincere as "you did well". He could only silently pat his daughter's head to comfort her.
The math teacher finished speaking, and it was the turn of the language teacher to speak. Teacher Ruan greeted Teacher Zhou and subtly called out Bai Xijing from the classroom.
Bai Xijing held little Bai Jingchen in the courtyard, facing a serious-looking Mr. Ruan. After some thought, Mr. Ruan asked tactfully, "Mr. Bai, have you seen Bai Jingchen's exam paper?" Many children hide their papers from their parents for fear of being scolded for not doing well on exams. However, considering little Bai Jingchen's words "Dad said as long as I don't get a negative score, it's fine; above zero is rewarded", Mr. Ruan thought that Bai Jingchen wouldn't have such concerns.
As expected, Bai Xi nodded, "I've seen it."
Mr. Ruan let out a big sigh of relief, after waiting for half a day, Bai Xijing didn't say anything else, Mr. Ruan was somewhat speechless, "Don't you have any ideas?"
Bai Xi Jing raised an eyebrow, "For example...?"
Mr. Ruan: "......" knelt down again, firmly and steadily, in front of the two parents and daughter of the Bai family.
Rubbing his slightly sore forehead, Mr. Ruan decided to speak directly, "Mr. Bai, please forgive me for speaking bluntly, but White Jingchen can't go on like this. She's not actually dumber than other kids (just a bit too idealistic), yet her learning results are surprisingly poor. Have you ever thought about the reason behind this, Mr. Bai?"
Bai Xi Jing stroked Xiao Jingchen's head, his expression becoming slightly more serious. "I'm all ears."
"Mr. Bai, I don't know how busy you are with work usually? When you're working, who takes care of Bainuodun, and when she's doing her homework, is there a parent to guide her? If you really can't spare the time, perhaps you could let Bainuodun's mother..."
"She doesn't need a mother." Bai Xijing's facial features suddenly turned cold, and he rudely interrupted Mr. Ruan's words. His narrow phoenix eyes flashed with a cold light as he looked down on Mr. Ruan from a superior position, saying seriously, "I'm not busy with work at all, taking care of her is the most important thing for me every day, when she does her homework I'm right by her side, so...she...doesn't...need...a...mother!"
Mr. Ruan was taken aback, then quickly reacted and hastily explained, "No, no, Mr. Bai, I think you misunderstood us. We were not discussing whether she needs her mother or not. Maybe I didn't make myself clear, sorry, I didn't know that... What I meant to say is, if you can really take care of her so meticulously, even helping her with her homework, then why is her homework still so... unbelievable?"
She felt that her reaction was a bit too intense, so Bai Xijing restrained herself, took a deep breath, and looked somewhat strange. "Who said I was tutoring her?"
"Didn't you just say you were with her when she was doing her homework?" Mr. Ruan looked bewildered.
"I was by her side, but I was working and didn't notice what she wrote at all." Bai Xijing seemed quite calm.
Mr. Ruan: "......" This father is also too irresponsible.
Besides, I don't think Jingchu needs me to coach her, she's learning very well." Bai Xijing continued with various attacks.
"Very... very good?!" Mr. Ruan's mouth and eyes were twitching violently, what a brainless father to say such nonsense! ~ Mr. Ruan thought he should let the father who was escaping reality face his daughter's problem, so he sincerely reminded him, "Mr. Bai, Bai Jingchen scored 2 points in math."
"I know." Bai Xi Jing was also sincere, Xiao Jing Chen just hadn't fully memorized the Arabic numerals yet, this needed her to spend time slowly adapting and remembering, not for parents to pressure her to memorize by rote so she could understand, so, silly dad couldn't help at all.
Mr. Ruan was completely confused by Bai Xijing's attitude, saying that he didn't care about his daughter, but he doted on her in every way. He said he loved and protected his daughter, but which father could remain so calm and unruffled when his daughter scored only two points on an exam? Even if it was pampering, it wasn't this kind of pampering!
Bai Xijing thought that letting Xiao Jingchen continue to enjoy campus life and making the teacher anxious was not right, so he had to give some hope. So, silly dad turned his head and asked Xiao Jingchen in a gentle voice, "Jingchen, what is four plus three?"
"Seven." Xiao Jingchen blurted out almost without thinking.
"What is five plus three?"
Eight.
"What is six plus twelve?"
"Eighteen."
"What is six times four?"
Xiao Jingchen blinked in confusion, "Dad, what does six times four mean?"
