Chapter 180 Parent-Teacher Conference (5)
Zhu Yong was speaking on the podium, while the parents below sat upright in their children's seats.
Hua Yuansheng and Hua Heqiu, as the parents of the Hua Lichu sisters, sat on either side of the podium.
"Those two kids are the top two in the grade? I heard they're twins?"
"It's true what they say, comparisons are odious! My child came in last place this time! What was your child's ranking?"
"Sigh, my child didn't do well on the exam either..."
Amid the whispers of the parents, Zhu Yong gave a targeted analysis of the diagnostic test and highlighted the names of several very representative students.
Among them, the outstanding student representatives are naturally the Hua An Tao sisters.
The poor students are those whose rankings have fallen out of the top 30 in the grade.
The parents of the students who were named blushed bright red, as if they themselves were the ones who had failed the exam.
All the parents looked around and cast sympathetic glances at them.
The parents sitting in the row saw Hua Yuansheng turn around and quickly greeted him:
"You're Hua Antao and Hua Lichu's grandfather? First or second in the grade? Your kids are really accomplished!"
Hua Yuansheng smiled broadly, saying modestly, "It's all thanks to the children's hard work."
Meanwhile, Liang Yongchang was sitting next to Liang Jingdong, questioning the meaning of life.
Over the past year, economic difficulties have worn down his edges and exhausted all his energy, to the point that he has never cared about Liang Jingdong's achievements.
At most, I'll ask a question when we meet.
But Liang Jingdong always said it was great, and he never bothered to verify it.
His memory of Liang Jingdong's achievements remained stuck on his past excellence.
So much so that when someone led him into the classroom of Class (3) today, he wondered if someone had the same name as his son and had entered the wrong classroom.
After all, his son Liang Jingdong got into the Sunshine Class!
Although they don’t care about their son’s grades, all the parents in the city’s No. 1 High School know that the Sunshine Class is the (1) class of each grade.
No matter how much Liang Yongchang rubbed his eyes, Liang Jingdong's figure was indeed in Class (3), never disappearing.
Could it be that things have changed this year? Is Class (3) the only one that's considered a "Sunshine Class"?
Seeing Liang Yongchang's expression change repeatedly, Liang Jingdong opened his mouth, wanting to explain.
But no matter what he did, he couldn't make a sound, and could only lower his head in embarrassment, avoiding his father's questioning gaze.
The silence between father and son was eventually broken by a report card.
Liang Yongchang stared at his ranking of 120th in the grade, right after Liang Jingdong's name, on the report card, and clenched his fist.
It took quite a while, until the parents in the back seat urged them on, before they finally realized what was happening.
He felt his throat was so dry, as if he had swallowed glass, and it hurt whenever he spoke.
"Dongdong, what's going on?"
Liang Jingdong licked his lips, his eyes darting around several times, when suddenly a glint of light flashed in his eyes:
"It's all because of Grandpa. I told him a long time ago that the academic difficulty of high school increases significantly, and I wanted to hire a private tutor, but he wouldn't listen and spent all the money..."
It turned out that at the beginning of summer vacation, Liang Dajiang had personally promised him that he would set aside some money to hire a tutor for him as soon as he received the interest.
But who would have thought that Liang Dajiang would regret it after receiving the interest?
They insisted that he wait a little longer, that he wanted to invest all his money and make another profit.
In the end, everything fell apart, and they lost everything.
Liang Yongchang frowned: "Why didn't you tell me about something so important?"
"What's the point of telling you? Do you even have money? Or do you have time to bother with me?"
Since Li Nuansi disappeared, Liang Yongchang has been like a lost soul, listless and unconcerned about anything except going to work.
Liang Jingdong filled in his contact information because he thought it was impossible for him to attend the parent-teacher meeting.
Who knew he would suddenly have a meltdown and actually show up, catching him completely off guard.
Liang Jingdong's question left Liang Yongchang speechless. He remained silent for a long while before whispering:
"You want to hire a tutor? I'll figure something out."
When Nuan Si was alive, her biggest wish was to send her son to university; she couldn't let him down!
Liang Jingdong pursed his lips, clearly not believing Liang Yongchang's assurance.
After his biological mother passed away, he always wondered why she would have fallen for such a useless man.
He's so old, he can't do anything right now.
Just then, the loudspeaker at the front of the classroom emitted a buzzing electrical sound.
(3) The class teacher stopped talking and said, "For this parent-teacher meeting, we selected the top student in the grade as an outstanding student representative. We invited her and her parents to share some learning experiences with everyone."
Upon hearing this, the previously noisy classroom suddenly fell silent.
Everyone unconsciously straightened their backs and pricked up their ears to listen to the broadcast.
Having just sworn to make money to send his son to university, Liang Yongchang was no exception.
Only Liang Jingdong's face turned pale instantly.
First in the grade?
Isn't that just...
"Hello everyone, I am Hua Antao from Class 1, Grade 11. I am very happy and honored to be here to share my learning experience with you students and parents."
The middle-aged man in the next seat suddenly leaned closer to Liang Yongchang:
“This girl is amazing! I heard she was promoted from Class 4. She has no parents, only a grandfather, and she even earned her own tuition.”
Liang Yongchang was stunned for a moment, then asked in confusion, "No father or mother?"
"That's right! His family's ancestral graves must be emitting auspicious smoke. With this score, even if he doesn't get into Tsinghua or Peking University, he'll definitely get into a top-tier university."
Unlike my child, whom I don't let do anything and pamper with good food and drink, he still did so poorly on the test...
"If only this girl were my daughter, I would definitely treat her like a little princess!"
Liang Yongchang felt that the voice coming from the radio was familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was.
Turning to look at Liang Jingdong, and then thinking about his achievements, I was moved to say this:
"Sigh, who can argue with that? I wish it were my child..."
As soon as he finished speaking, he noticed that Liang Jingdong's expression was particularly strange:
"what happened?"
Liang Jingdong shook his head: "It's nothing..."
Liang Yongchang didn't pay much attention; teenagers all have their own ideas, he just urged:
"Listen carefully to the radio and hear how the students with good grades study!"
Over the loudspeaker, Hua Antao read aloud the speech she had already memorized, her voice full of emotion:
"I got into this school with a ranking of 185th in my grade..."
In this sharing session, Hua Antao didn't want to just talk the talk; she specifically combined her own experience with an analysis of each subject, and even joked about it herself:
"I have a serious imbalance in my academic performance. I excel in math, physics, and chemistry, but I get a headache whenever I see Chinese or English..."
Then, the tone shifted:
"But the college entrance examination looks at the total score, not just a single subject, so I know that in order to get into a good university, I must develop in a balanced way."
I believe that human will can overcome nature. Effort doesn't guarantee results, but without effort, there will definitely be no results.
I broke down the subjects I wasn't good at into smaller, manageable goals, and then tackled them one by one...
Even with my uneven academic performance, I managed to catch up? Why can't you guys? ..."
In the classroom of the second year of high school, all the parents and students listened attentively to the broadcast, nodding when they heard something correct.
Some people even took out notebooks and pens and started taking notes.
After Hua Antao finished his speech, Hua Yuansheng, feeling nervous, began his own speech.
"Hello, students and parents! I am Hua Yuansheng, the grandfather of Hua Antao."
This familiar name instantly caught Liang Yongchang's attention.
His eyes widened suddenly, staring intently at the loudspeaker.
Huayuansheng?
Is it the Huayuansheng that he knows?
If it was him, then the person who just spoke was...
Liang Yongchang shook his head vigorously.
impossible!
With their grades, how could they possibly be first in the grade?
