The desks and chairs for the lower grades were custom-made for the little ones' sizes, not for adults. This made things difficult for Huang Xiaochuan and Ding Yi. Both of them are over 1.8 meters tall, although Ding Yi is a little thinner. But his long legs have to be bent under the desk, making it very awkward for him to sit!
Huang Xiaochuan was slightly better off, since he was sitting near the aisle and could stretch one leg into the aisle, while Ding Yi was sitting against the wall and didn't have that privilege.
It was originally agreed that Qi Huan would attend today's parent-teacher meeting, but when the three of them were having dinner last night, Ding Yi heard that Huang Xiaochuan was going to attend his daughter's parent-teacher meeting. After returning home, he volunteered to attend his son Ding Xiaojia's parent-teacher meeting himself. This made Qi Huan and Ding Xiaojia feel like the sun had risen in the west.
Because Ding Yi, ever since he took his son Ding Xiaojia to school on the first day of school last year, has never taken his son to school or gone to school again. Qi Huan has been the one who attended all the parent-teacher meetings and left his contact number with Qi Huan. He's basically a hands-off manager.
"Could you move over a bit?" Ding Yi was so uncomfortable sitting that he pushed Huang Xiaochuan to the side.
Huang Xiaochuan glared at him in anger.
Ding Yi retorted confidently, "Staring at me won't do any good! Look how little space there is inside! How about we switch?"
Huang Xiaochuan said dismissively, "You're really beautiful."
"You mean to say I'm dreaming, right?" Ding Yi knew this trick of theirs after knowing each other for over a decade.
Huang Xiaochuan didn't want to pay attention to this guy. He picked up the test paper on the table and looked at it. Not bad, 98 in Chinese and 99 in Math. Although it wasn't a perfect score, Huang Xiaochuan felt that his daughter had already tried her best.
And then there was the midterm exam, when she came home with a 68 in Chinese and an 89 in math, which almost made her mother, Yu Xiang, faint with anger. As a result, Huang Xiaochuan also got a lecture from Yu Xiang, who implied that it was the father's fault for not raising his daughter properly. She said that it was too embarrassing for two PhDs in the family to raise a poor student. The main responsibility lay with Huang Xiaochuan, the father, who had spoiled his daughter.
Ding Yi followed suit and picked up the test paper on the table to look at the scores. When he saw them, he was so angry that he almost lost his temper. His son, Ding Xiaojia, scored 81 in Chinese and 88 in math, which was a little better. There is no harm without comparison. Looking at Huang Xiaochuan's daughter's scores and then at his own son's scores, Ding Yi suddenly felt inferior to Huang Xiaochuan.
The more Ding thought about it, the angrier she got, so she simply stopped looking at it and angrily threw the test paper back onto the table.
Huang Xiaochuan picked up the two test papers and looked them over: "Not bad, you performed consistently well! The difference between Chinese and math isn't that big!"
Ding Yi felt that Huang Xiaochuan was mocking him, so he angrily turned his face away and voluntarily faced the wall to reflect on his actions.
After a parent-teacher meeting, both parents had backaches and sore waists, all caused by sitting hunched over for a long time.
After the parent-teacher meeting, the two parents did not surround the homeroom teacher, Ms. Miao, with questions like other parents.
The two of them walked out of the classroom, supporting their backs and shaking their legs. They had been bent over for a long time, and their backs and legs ached and felt numb.
When Ding Yi stood up just now, he stumbled because his legs were numb. If Huang Xiaochuan hadn't been quick to catch him, he probably would have given all the parents and teachers a taste of his own medicine.
After a while, normal blood circulation finally returned.
At this moment, Huang Xiaochuan saw Yu Xiang coming towards him.
Upon seeing Ding Yi, Yu Xiang asked in surprise, "You're a rare guest! Usually, it's your Qi Huan who comes. What brings you here today?"
Ding Yi repeated what he had just said to Huang Xiaochuan in the classroom: "Qi Huan's superiors are coming to inspect their branch office, and she can't get away, so she asked me to come instead."
Yu Xiang, ever the troublemaker, asked with concern, "How are your son Xiao Jia's grades?"
It's true what they say, they really know how to rub salt in the wound. Ding was immediately speechless.
Huang Xiaochuan then quietly tugged at Yu Xiang's skirt and gave her a wink. Yu Xiang immediately understood; it seemed she hadn't done well on the test.
So she comforted her, saying, "She's only in first grade, it's okay. My daughter also got a 68 on her midterm exam, and we didn't say anything. As long as the child is healthy and happy, that's all that matters!"
Upon hearing this, Huang Xiaochuan immediately curled his lip. This woman's mouth is a lying devil. He wondered who it was that had been blabbering on and on about her man.
After exchanging a few pleasantries with Ding Yi, Yu Xiang wanted to leave. The two children were still with Lao Yu and Zheng Aiying, and she needed to hurry to pick them up and take them home.
She said to Huang Xiaochuan, "Why don't you two continue chatting? I'll go pick up the kids first?"
Seeing that Yu Xiang was about to leave, Huang Xiaochuan quickly said, "I'll go with you. I just had drinks with this guy last night, and we're speechless. There's nothing left to talk about with him."
Ding Yi waved his hand and said, "Alright, you guys go back now, I'm going back too."
After saying that, the three of them left the school separately.
On the way, Yu Xiang asked, "How many points did Ding Xiaojia get on the test?"
"Chinese 81, Math 88."
Yu Xiang was somewhat confused: "It's alright! Why is Ding Yi still not satisfied?"
Huang Xiaochuan said smugly, "That depends on who you compare it to. If there's no comparison, this score is indeed quite good."
Seeing her husband like this, Yu Xiang knew that her daughter must have done well on the exam, and asked, "How many points did Xiaoduo get?"
"Chinese 98, Math 99," Huang Xiaochuan announced his daughter's final exam scores with an air of nonchalance.
Yu Xiang asked in surprise, "Really?"
Huang Xiaochuan said with an arrogant look, "Get rid of that 'ma' character."
At this moment, Huang Xiaochuan felt triumphant! After the midterm exams, Huang Xiaochuan was driven crazy by Yu Xiang's nagging, but now that the final exam results were out, who would dare to say that it was the father's fault for not raising his child properly?
Seeing her husband acting like this, Yu Xiang couldn't help but burst out laughing.
She scolded playfully, "You!"
Huang Xiaochuan then asked, "By the way, how are your son's grades?"
Now it was Yu Xiang's turn to be proud. She looked completely at ease and said, "Of course! Two perfect scores, just like a midterm exam."
Even if Yu Xiang hadn't said anything, Huang Xiaochuan could have guessed it. Although his son was only seven years old, he had a very steady personality and did everything in a methodical manner. His parents never had to worry about him, whether it was his studies or his life.
"Good!" Huang Xiaochuan was generous with his praise for his son's excellent performance.
As they were talking, the car arrived at the Yu family's door, and the couple got out and went into the yard.
Yu Chengping, Huang Zeji, and Huang Ruiying, the three little ones, were playing games under the big tree with the ugly dog. When they saw the two of them come in, they called out to them and then went back to playing.
Hearing the noise, Zheng Aiying pushed open the door and came out. Seeing that it was her eldest daughter and son-in-law, she quickly invited them into the house.
"Come in quickly, it's hot outside, come in and cool off."
