【030】Parents Meeting
Ji'an Charcoal Barbecue Shop has just opened and the business is very prosperous. The owner claims that this charcoal barbecue has a history of hundreds of years. The ingredients are the essence of the Goguryeo ethnic group. Lin Ziwen was very suspicious after hearing this. She happened to have a meal with Li Zongcheng today and decided to try it.
The two sat in the fire pit in the small room. Li Zongcheng didn't understand this special ethnic dish. Lin Ziwen took the initiative to order the dishes and soon the barbecue was served. A burst of incense hit people. The two of them felt salivating and their index fingers moved.
Ji'an City is a border city on the border with North Korea, located on Jilin Province and across the Yalu River from the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. It is a settlement of the Korean ethnic group. Lin Ziwen watched a little Korean TV series "Dae Jang Geum" in his previous life. The Korean Peninsula is scarce. A cabbage and a small piece of beef are so precious that the protagonists are excited half-excited. At first, Lin Zhiwen thought this was performed by the TV series. Later, when he came into contact with Korean students in Shanghai, he realized that the dietary level of the Korean Peninsula people was too outdated, and everything that could be eaten was so expensive that it was astonishing. Lin Ziwen did not consider the essence of Goguryeo diet that this barbecue restaurant claims, because at that time, it was impossible for such a poor and backward country to develop an amazing food culture.
Li Zongcheng picked up a chopstick and tasted it frequently. He ate it and praised the delicious food of Goguryeo. Lin Ziwen was funny when he ate it. Several seasonings in this barbecue may not be available on the Korean Peninsula. The faint tea fragrance is Chinese. He didn't tell Li Zongcheng. While eating the barbecue, they talked about the serious matter.
"Ziwen, I will quit my job this time and I will not do it. First go to the south to find a factory to cooperate with, and then go back to Shenyang to be an agent sales agent." It seems that Li Zongcheng has made up his mind this time.
Lin Ziwen smiled and grabbed the wine bottle, filled the glasses with them, and said to Li Zongcheng: "The gold will shine everywhere. I wish Li Gema success first."
The two of them touched the wine glasses and each fucked Lin Ziwen and asked Li Zongcheng: "Why did Brother Li decide to change his career? Is there something wrong with the UFO, or is there any other reason?"
Li Zongcheng smiled frankly and said, "I saw that you make money as easy as a child playing house. I was so jealous that my husband and I ran around every day. The money I earned in a month was only about 3,000 yuan. I used to think I was already amazing, but after comparing with you, I realized that I was watching the sky by landing on the well."
"Brother Li, don't say that. I can make money, but you have helped me a lot. In fact, there are opportunities to make money everywhere. As long as you dare to think and do, anyone can make money. We set up a street stall at the gate of our school. You can earn more than 1,000 yuan a month, which is about the same as your salary." Lin Ziwen finished speaking, looking at Li Zongcheng with a crooked look.
Li Zongcheng smiled bitterly and said, "Ziwen, I'm under a lot of pressure now. Don't tease me, but although my income is similar, the nature of my work with the street stall is completely different."
Lin Ziwen looked at Li Zongcheng seriously and said seriously: "Brother Li, you have a high foundation and good conditions, and you can achieve some achievements. People who set up street stalls on the street have no social status, and can still earn more than 1,000 yuan a month quietly. That's not simple."
Li Zongcheng thought for a while, nodded and said, "You are right. I shouldn't be too arrogant. I have to do it myself if I leave the company. Everything starts from scratch. I should bend down and work hard like the vendor who sets up a street stall."
In the afternoon, Li Zongcheng took the last album sold by Lin Ziwen to the UFO, and took the train back to Shenyang. The next day, Zihong Game Center opened, and Zixu Game Center opened on the third day. The two game halls were free for one day as usual, making Li Zetao and others very busy.
The midterm exam results were released. A boy in Class 2 ranked first with a total score of 683, Bai Hong ranked 674 points, ranking second junior high school entrance examination in total seven subjects, total score of 700, the boy in Class 2 scored the four subjects of English, geography, history, and algebra. 683 points became a monster-like existence in the eyes of classmates.
Lin Ziwen scored 667 points, second in the class and fourth in the grade; Chen Xiaolei scored 651 points, ranked 11th in the whole class, and the students who studied well were very close to their grades. Teacher Chen expressed satisfaction with the average scores of his class. He did not criticize the students in public, but only found a few people to talk to him behind his back.
J Middle School has always held a parent meeting for junior high school students after the midterm exam. This time it was slightly postponed compared to previous years. The date was set on November 28th. On Saturday afternoon, Lin Congwu and Wang Yumei were competing to hold a parent meeting. Although they are used to not caring about their son's studies, their children have good grades. Which parent doesn't want to show off their faces?
On Friday night, the three of them had dinner. It was still not decided who went to the parent-teacher meeting. Lin Ziwen hoped that they would fight to the end and no one would go, but that was impossible. He had to reconcile and say: "Actually, it doesn't matter whether we go or not. There are more than 70 students in our class, and there are so many parents in the classroom at once. If the teacher can't greet you, think about it, how crowded it will be for more than 70 adults in such a small classroom, who will suffer."
Lin Congwu said hurriedly: "Yes, yes, my wife, what my son said makes so much sense. Let me go tomorrow. It just so happens that you are still very busy recently and it is not easy to ask for leave."
Wang Yumei vetoed: "I gave birth to my son, so I have to go to the parent-teacher meeting."
Lin Congwuxin said that you can't give birth to yourself, but you can't speak in front of your children, so you had to instruct your wife: "You go to the parent meetings of Ziwen Primary School every year. I was busy with work at that time and didn't compete with you now. Now you are busy with work. I'm idle again. I'll let me go this time and take the opportunity to be casual."
Lin Ziwen laughed secretly next to him. Whenever he attended a parent-teacher meeting, everyone rushed to go, and those with poor grades would blame each other. This was not exempted from being in his own home. Lin Congwu was unhappy in his work during this period. Lin Ziwen decided to talk to him: "Mom, let your dad go this time. The parents of my classmates are about the same age as you. Maybe dad will meet a few old friends to talk about the past."
Seeing that his son was also helping her husband, Wang Yumei had to agree to Lin Ziwen while Lin Congwu was happy and pretended to be casual: "Dad, I missed a lot of classes this semester. If our teacher asks you, you will say that the family is too busy and I am not in good health. Please explain it to me."
Without thinking, Lin Congwu agreed to Wang Yumei more about her son's study and asked Lin Ziwen: "I often miss classes, so why did I do when I don't go to school? Isn't the first place in the exam this time? Is it related to the absence of classes?"
Lin Ziwen lied without blinking her eyes, and opened her mouth: "Actually, she only missed one or two classes occasionally. Sometimes she went to bed late in the morning, sometimes she didn't want to go to physical education classes, art classes, etc., so she went out to play. Your son is not a teacher who sets the questions. How could he get full marks every time? There was a girl in our class who took the first place in the grade for six years in elementary school. She got seven points more than me in this exam."
The couple knew that their son loved to exercise since they were young, and they could go to classes such as singing, drawing, sports and art. They heard that his son was seven points lower than the first place. Lin Congwu asked: "There are many sons. When you were in elementary school, the first place and the tenth place were less than seven points. Has everyone relaxed and stopped studying hard in junior high school?"
Wang Yumei gave her husband a blank look and said, "The seven subjects in junior high school entrance examinations are 700 points. The average difference between her son and that girl is only one point away from each subject."
Lin Congwu remembered this when he heard this. He oh Wang Yumei added: "If Ziwen's head teacher asks him about his absence tomorrow, you should follow what Ziwen said just now and coax their teacher our son is different from other children. What are the shortcomings in the class? If their teacher asks too carefully, you will lie."
Lin Congwu agreed while thinking, no wonder his son has been sloppy since he was a child, it seems that his wife taught him 80%
Lin Ziwen didn't want to get entangled on this topic, and he stopped at the right time and said: "That girl who got the first place in the exam is the same as me, dad, you have a good chat with her parents tomorrow to see how they train and educate their children."
Lin Congwu pretended to be angry and said, "Is my daughter a great achievement in the first place in the exam? Your father's son often takes the first place. This fully shows that our family's education level is also first-class. Tomorrow I will generously tell them the Lin's education methods."
