Another recently opened dessert shop.
In a separate cubicle, Dong Mingming's wailing echoed from every corner.
"God, the whole parent-teacher meeting will start as soon as school starts. The school is going to kill us!"
"Too unhuman!"
"This is definitely the darkest start of school I've ever experienced!" Dong Mingming said with a lifeless expression while holding the book.
Because the scores and rankings were not announced before the holiday, many people had a peaceful and happy holiday.
How beautiful the holidays are, how sad it is to start school.
"It's just double the sadness!"
"No, it should be triple the sadness!"
The start of school is already sad enough. This time, I have to face the exam results that are very likely to be disastrous last semester. The most important thing is that I have to hand in vacation homework!
Seeing Dong Mingming complaining happily, the corner of Gu Xi's mouth twitched: Who said that he would write all his homework ten days before the holiday? A holiday has passed, and Dong Mingming didn't even write the first ten pages.
Gu Xi gave Dong Mingming a shameful look, but couldn't help interrupting her and asked, "Have you finished copying?"
"I didn't copy it!" Dong Mingming retorted without thinking, and then added: "I'm just referencing."
Gu Xi coughed silently, looked at Dong Mingming without a smile, and asked, "Then, may I ask classmate Dong, have you finished your reference?"
"not yet… "
"It's coming soon, you wait for me." Dong Mingming finally calmed down and began to copy, no, it was to 'refer to' Gu Xi's holiday homework.
However, this time, after less than 5 minutes of silence, Dong Mingming looked up at Gu Xi again.
"That's not right, Gu Xi, did you write this question wrong? You see, with such a big box, you can get the answer in four lines?" Dong Mingming pointed to a question in Gu Xi's workbook.
Gu Xi: "..." Good guy, the person who copied her actually questioned her? !
"You still have 6 hours." Gu Xi glanced at the time and reminded.
It has been notified in the group that all holiday homework must be handed in before the parent meeting.
Hearing this, Dong Mingming glanced at Gu Xi resentfully: "Don't mention this, we are still good friends."
"Hey," Dong Mingming sighed, "I want my grandmother to help me hold a parent-teacher meeting."
"Speaking of which, Gu Xi, who will hold the parent-teacher meeting tomorrow?"
"My dad."
"It's good." In Dong Mingming's eyes, Gu Shao is a super gentle father. And handsome!
"I think so too." Gu Xi raised his eyebrows and said.
—
The next day, Gu Shao took Gu Xi to school.
Along the way, Gu Xi was chatting non-stop.
In the front row, the driver listened to the voice from behind, and a smile appeared on his face.
He spent the most time picking up Gu Xi. At first, it was his car that went to Zhangjia Village to handle the household registration for Gu Xi.
Some things seem to be the same, but if you look closely, you will find the changes—compared to the initial restraint, now Gu Xi is obviously much more lively in front of Gu Shao.
"dad."
"Huh?" Gu Shao was handling his work, and when he heard Gu Xitong talking to himself, he would occasionally respond.
"Do you still remember what we said before?" Gu Xi blinked and asked Gu Shao.
Before the holiday, Gu Shao had promised Gu Xi that as long as Gu Xi could get into the top ten in the city in the final exam this time, Gu Shao agreed with her to take the NTN test.
This is a youth training program of NTN Science and Technology R&D Center.
Those students who have enough talent, enough professional level, or who have participated in some competitions and got places, as long as they pass the NTN test, they can become a member of the NTN training program.
Although not a formal employee of NTN, those who pass the test can receive NTN's learning and research support, and are eligible to participate in some NTN projects.
These, Gu Xi made a request to Gu Shao after researching it online in advance.
Gu Shao looked down at Gu Xi and raised his eyebrows: "I want to go to NTN so much."
"Hmm." Gu Xi nodded, she had her plan.
Seeing Gu Xi's serious face, Gu Shao laughed secretly, raised his hand and rubbed Gu Xi's head, and said, "Don't worry, I didn't forget."
"That's good."
The car quickly drove to the school gate, and Gu Shao and Gu Xi got out of the car and walked into the school all the way.
Without noticing, after them, two sneaky figures also sneaked into the school.
These two are not Old Man Gu and Old Man Shen, but who else.
"Did you enter from here?"
"Nonsense, if you don't enter from here, where will you enter?"
"What do I think there is a door over there." Old Man Shen pointed aside.
"The door over there is usually used for faculty, staff, and the school's public vehicles to enter and exit. This is the door for normal entry and exit."
"So this is ah."
"Nonsense, but, you old guy, you haven't been here before, have you?" Old Man Gu showed contempt.
"Haven't been here, have you been?"
"Of course." Old Man Gu's tone was stern - he had come here secretly many times before.
"Let's go, let's go, I'll show you around today."
Mr. Gu called Mr. Shen and walked to the school.
As a result, just as he was about to enter the school gate, he was stopped by the security guards at the school gate.
"Two old men, what are you doing here?" the security guard asked.
"We're here..." Elder Shen was about to speak when he was interrupted by Elder Gu.
"It's nothing, let's just walk around." Old Man Gu said.
"Just walk around?" The security guard regarded the two as uncles walking nearby, and said, "This is a school, and you won't be allowed in if you walk around."
"Then how can they get in?" Old Man Gu pointed to the surrounding parents who entered the school gate.
"Those are the parents of the students. Today is the parent meeting. You are not the parents, so of course you cannot be let in." Facing the two elderly people, the security guard explained patiently.
"Who said we are not the parents of students anymore?"
"You are?"
"Of course."
Hearing this, the security guard looked at the two elderly but extraordinary-looking old people in front of him, thinking that the two of them didn't seem to want to tell lies, and asked, "Then, which class are your children from?"
"Class 7."
"Class 7 in the second grade." Mr. Shen added.
"I'm the student's grandfather."
"I am the grandfather of the student."
The two spoke in succession.
The security guard looked at Mr. Gu and then at Mr. Shen, and was amazed.
"You are from the same family?" I have seen my parents come together for a parent-teacher meeting, and it was the first time I saw my grandfather and grandfather together.
Old Man Gu: "Of course not."
Old Master Shen: "Almost."
"Almost what?" Hearing that, Old Man Gu glared at Old Man Shen and explained to the security guard: "He belongs to his family, I belong to mine, it's just two children in the same class, and I have two other grandchildren. Also attached."
The security guard nodded suspiciously, and finally decided to call the head teacher of Class 7 and ask him to come to the school gate to lead him.
—
Not long after, Mr. Chen rushed to the school gate, and when he saw the two old men, Mr. Chen was stunned.
"Hello two, I'm the head teacher of the seventh class of the second grade. My surname is Chen." The head teacher first introduced himself, and then asked the two of them, "Are you the parents of the students in our class?"
Old Man Gu and Old Man Shen nodded.
Teacher Chen frowned.
"I don't know if the two of you have heard from the parents of the students. We try not to suggest that the students' grandparents, brothers and sisters hold parent-teacher meetings on their behalf." Teacher Chen said in a deep voice.
This time, she also specifically said in the parent group before the start of the school that the parent meeting this time is very important.
Moreover, none of the parents in the group replied that they could not come.
Teacher Chen thought in surprise.
"Which student's parent are you?" the head teacher asked again.
Originally, the head teacher was still thinking about whether any student in his class was afraid to let his parents come because he did not do well in the exam, so he fooled his grandfather and grandpa to come over.
As a result, without waiting for the head teacher to express his guesses, he listened to the two old men, one said 'Gu Xi' and the other said 'Sheng Xiuyan'.
"Sheng Xiuyan and Gu Xi?!" The head teacher's attitude changed instantly.
Although in theory, all students are the same in the eyes of the teacher, but it is undeniable that these two students are indeed the most worry-free students she has ever brought.
Moreover, mentioning Sheng Xiuyan and Gu Xi, the head teacher couldn't help but feel excited at this moment.
Among the top 10 in the city, they only have 2 in their class, and they are still in the front row, so don't be too embarrassed.
At this time, the head teacher was walking in the school and only felt that the school flowers were all for her.
"It turned out to be Gu Xi and Sheng Xiuyan's grandfather and grandfather, then it doesn't matter." After all, with the grades and learning consciousness of these two students, it doesn't matter if the parents don't come to the meeting.
"Come with me, you two, and I'll take you to the class." The head teacher said enthusiastically to the two old men.
Hearing this, the expressions on the faces of the two elders became strange.
"No, no, no need," Old Man Gu waved his hand and said, "We just heard that the results were announced today, so we came to see it. We don't need to go to class. The child's father is probably already in school."
The two of them came here secretly today. Originally, they wanted to take a look at the results of the two babies and send them to the other. If they went to class, wouldn't it be exposed
As for the cause of this incident, we have to talk about it from the New Year.
- These two old men don't know which crop they started from, but somehow they are more competitive, and even their own grandsons/grandchildren's grades are also competitive.
So, with that said, the two of them made an appointment today to see the first-hand performance rankings.
Hearing the explanations of the two, the head teacher probably understood what the two meant, nodded with a smile, and then did not let the two old men go any longer. He directly found out the city's ranking this time from his mobile phone and handed it to the two. people look.
—
On the other side, on the square in front of the teaching building.
At this time, Gu Xi and several others were also standing in front of the bulletin board watching the ranking of the final exam results.
Compared with the bells and whistles of the previous monthly exam results, the announcement of the city's unified exam rankings this time is much simpler and clearer: from left to right, from top to bottom, each person's name is listed in order of test scores and grades.
First, the serial number and name, then the class information, then the total test score, and the last number represents the city's ranking.
This time, Gu Xi's name was still ranked first, and '1' was written on her last number.
Not only Gu Xi, the last number of the second and third place below is also '1'.
"It means that these three people in the top three of our school are tied for first place in the city?" Someone asked beside him.
On the other side, a teacher explained: "Our teacher also said before that because it is the paper for the city's unified examination, the difficulty will be easier than the paper produced by our school. Therefore, this time, after the unified examination, it is not easy to get full marks in a single subject. In addition, there are several who have a total score that is close to a full score.”
"According to the ranking method in the city, those with the same score are ranked according to the tie."
"So, there are a lot of top students in the city?" Another parent asked.
"Indeed," the teacher nodded, changed the conversation, smiled at the students and their parents, and said, "However, there are only 5 people in the whole city who get the score of Gu Xi's in the test. 3 of them are pretty good.”
And the three people who are tied for the first place, from top to bottom, are Gu Xi, Huang Kaisen from Class 9, and Sheng Xiuyan.
The total score of the three people is the same, and the sorting is according to the first letter of the name pinyin.
It doesn't matter who is up or down.
However, looking at the extra name between himself and Gu Xi's names, Sheng Xiuyan felt that it was very annoying no matter how he looked at it.
—
Here, Gu Shao received a call. The call was from Mr. Gu's bodyguard.
"gentlemen."
"The old gentleman and the old gentleman of the Shen family have both gone back." On the phone, the bodyguard said.
"Understood." Gu Shao responded.
Hanging up the phone, Gu Shao looked up at the ranking list in front of him again, with a smile in his eyes.
This time, not only did Gu Xi get the first place, but Gu Yanxiao and Gu Chenyi also did well in the exam, and both entered the top ten.
Gu Shao took pictures of the results and sent them to the Gu family's family group.
—
Parents will begin.
Since the overall ranking of the High School Affiliated to University A was among the best among the major middle schools in the city, and Class 7 was the top one, the head teacher was in a very good mood, and the whole parent meeting was very happy.
Even Dong Mingming, who had been worried that he would be cool before, breathed a sigh of relief after the parent-teacher meeting.
Although her overall ranking has not changed much compared to before, but thanks to the simplicity of the test, her scores are very good-looking.
—
After the parent-teacher meeting, Gu Xi followed Gu Shao home.
In the car, Gu Shao was holding a cell phone, not knowing what he was editing, and Gu Xi was suddenly curious.
Looking at the interface, it looks familiar, it seems to be a circle of friends
Gu Xi looked surprised.
Gu Shao rarely posts on his Moments, because "visible for three days" is set, so most of the time, Gu Shao's Moments are empty.
When Gu Shao is one of the few friends, Gu Xi is either sleeping or doing homework. In addition, Gu Xi didn't like to swipe Moments at all. When she finally opened Moments, Gu Shao's status had already been swiped by the latest status of other classmates.
So, for a long time, Gu Xi had assumed that Gu Shao was someone who would not post on Moments.
At this time, seeing Gu Shao posting on the Moments with his own eyes made Gu Xi feel very surprised.
"Dad, what are you talking about?" Gu Xi moved over, lay on Gu Shao's arm, and looked curiously at the screen of Gu Shao's phone.
What caught my eye was her exam results this time, and she added a simple sentence: [Daughter's final exam results. 】
Gu Xi looked at the state of this about to be sent out in surprise, and then looked at Gu Shao, her face full of incredulity, obviously, Gu Xi did not expect that Gu Shao's state was actually about her.
When it was discovered, Gu Shao didn't hide it, and clicked 'Share' in front of Gu Xi.
In less than 5 seconds after this status was sent, two messages were received.
Gu Xi glanced at Gu Shao, and seeing that the other party didn't mind, she put a finger on Gu Shao's arm and opened the two messages.
The replies to both messages are from Xu Fei, one likes and one replies: [666, it's more difficult to get first in an easy exam than a difficult exam. 】
Makes sense.
Seeing Xu Fei's reply, even Gu Xi nodded silently.
Gu Xi glanced at Gu Shao's phone again, and saw the Moments that the other party had posted earlier.
- Originally, Gu Xi thought that Gu Shao's circle of friends, even if it was to be posted, should be full of bossy style, not about the latest NTN technology, but about financial knowledge.
As a result, Gu Xi realized that she was wrong.
In Gu Shao's more than 20 circles of friends, except for a few children's education chicken soup articles to share, the rest are all about her.
Although Gu Xi didn't show her face in these photos, you could tell where and when she was doing each one of Gu Xi was taken.
In each circle of friends, in addition to photos, Gu Shao also attached a simple text description: daughter's competition, daughter's participation in Sutuo activities, daughter's gift...
Although they are all simple descriptions, there is always a sense of showing off between the lines.
"Okay, don't look at your phone in the car." Before Gu Xi could finish all of Gu Shao's state, Gu Shao put away his phone.
Gu Xi felt a little regretful, but he was thinking about when to change his Moments settings to be permanently visible to him while Gu Shao was not paying attention.
Gu Xi raised her head to look at Gu Shao, then grinned.
"What are you laughing at?" Gu Shao asked. Laugh silly.
Gu Xi's smile widened a bit, and he asked Gu Shao, "Am I proud of you now?"
Although Gu Shao didn't say it, she felt that his circle of friends was just showing off! Show daughter!
Hearing this, Gu Shao was stunned for a moment, then his gaze softened towards Gu Xi, he chuckled twice, and said, "It's always been."
"real?!"
Gu Shao said nothing.
Gu Xixi laughed twice, and then said: "Then I've entered the top ten in the city this time. Are you going to keep your promise?"
The promise to get her to take the NTN test.
Gu Xi also submitted an application to NTN before, but unfortunately it was rejected.
Later, she heard Xu Fei say that the application was rejected by Gu Shao himself because of delay in studying.
Gu Shao glanced at Gu Xi and nodded, "Yes."
President Gu did what he said, and the day after Gu Xi went back to submit the application again, he received a test notification from NTN.
