Volume 1: Student Life Chapter 14 The relationship between inviting parents and monthly examinations
“Boom boom boom!”
Chen Zhou knocked on the door of the class teacher Wang Xuehui's office.
At the end of the second class, a classmate told him that Teacher Wang was looking for him.
It is said that the students who have been found out either had a decline in academic performance or made other mistakes.
Generally speaking, students with good academic performance and who have not made any mistakes have never been called in for a talk.
He felt that he had not made any mistakes during this period of time, and his weekly test scores had improved.
"Come in."
Teacher Wang's voice, which was not magnetic at all, came from the office.
Chen Zhou pushed the door open and walked to Wang Xuehui's desk: "Teacher Wang, what do you want to talk to me about?"
"Chen Zhou, you're here. Sit down." Wang Xuehui pointed to the chair next to the desk.
After Chen Zhou sat down, Wang Xuehui said, "I called you here to talk to you about your recent studies, and I also have something to show you."
As he spoke, he reached out from the neatly arranged file box, took out a book and handed it to Chen Zhou.
Chen Zhou took the book curiously.
It is the school magazine, "Di Li".
Chen Zhou then remembered that his Chinese teacher Xu Shaowen had said that they would publish their compositions in the school magazine. Unexpectedly, it had already been published.
Chen Zhou flipped to the catalog, intending to look for his own composition.
"On page 36."
Chen Zhou turned to page 36 and it was indeed his essay.
"It's well written. I've read it too." Wang Xuehui took a sip of tea and praised.
"Thank you for the compliment, teacher." Chen Zhou said with a humble expression.
Wang Xuehui nodded, looked at Chen Zhou and asked, "Why did you come to repeat your studies? I heard from your parents that you made this request out of the blue ."
Chen Zhou was stunned. How could he answer this question? He couldn't possibly tell the truth.
He could only stammer: "I...I..."
"You don't have to think too much. I just want to understand students' thoughts. Just say what you think." Wang Xuehui thought that Chen Zhou had some psychological pressure and was not convenient to say it out.
"Teacher, I just feel that I didn't study , and I want to try again through hard work. The college entrance examination is the fairest competition opportunity. It only looks at your grades, and I want to try my best to grasp it." Chen Zhou could only slightly modify the words of the system and say them out loud.
Hearing Chen Zhou's words, Wang Xuehui's eyes lit up. This student is very conscious.
After thinking for a while, he said, "Well, it seems that you are a student with a lot of ideas, and you have been studying very hard recently. You have made some progress in every weekly test. The teacher appreciates your ability to work hard to realize your ideas."
Chen Zhou suddenly looked humble again.
Seeing this, Wang Xuehui encouraged him: "Work hard and persevere, and you will definitely get satisfactory results."
"I will, teacher." Chen Zhou nodded in response.
"By the way, is either of your parents accompanying your child in school? Do they have time recently? I have only talked to your parents on the phone and have not met them in person. It is also the responsibility of the class teacher to understand the student's specific situation." Wang Xuehui added.
Chen Zhou muttered to himself, isn't it because of the failure in the monthly exam that parents are invited? What's going on?
He organized his words and told Wang Xuehui, "They have to work and are busy, so I didn't ask them to accompany me. If I need one of them to come, I guess we'll have to wait until the Golden Week."
"I didn't expect that you came here to repeat your studies alone. How is your daily life?" When Wang Xuehui heard that Chen Zhou had no one to accompany him and was studying alone, his admiration for him increased immediately.
"It's okay. Basically, three meals a day are guaranteed, and there's not much else to do except studying." Chen Zhou was telling the truth. Most of his time was spent on studying. As long as three meals a day were taken care of, the other things were no different from accompanying his child to study.
"That's good. Life is the guarantee of study, so we have to do it well." After hearing what Chen Zhou said, Wang Xuehui nodded and said, "Golden Week is also fine. There is just over a week left before the monthly exam. If your parents have time to come over during the Golden Week, we can also discuss the specific results."
Chen Zhou was stunned: "Ah?"
Wang Xuehui: “What’s wrong?”
"No, nothing. I'll go back during the Golden Week and talk to my parents." Chen Zhou thought he was shooting himself in the foot.
"Okay. Then you should go back to the classroom first. Class will start soon." Wang Xuehui pointed at the school magazine "Di Li" and said, "Take this. It's distributed to you by the school."
Chen Zhou thanked the teacher and returned to the classroom.
As soon as he sat down, Zhang Yifan picked up the school magazine and said to Chen Haining in the front row, "How about it? I said I was going there to be praised, right?"
Chen Haining muttered, "Well, this is really the first time I've seen Lao Wang praise someone."
Zhang Yifan turned to Chen Zhou and asked, "What did Lao Wang praise you for? Tell us."
Chen Zhou said with a bitter face: "Nothing, isn't there a monthly exam before the Golden Week? Parents will be invited after the monthly exam."
Zhang Yifan said, "Huh? No way, isn't it said that if you fail the weekly exam, the student will have a talk, and if you fail the monthly exam, the parents and students will have a talk together? You have been improving in the past two weekly exams."
"have no idea."
Chen Haining thought of a situation: "Could it be that Lao Wang predicted that you would fail the monthly exam?"
"Go away, you crow's mouth." Chen Zhou held his forehead with his hand.
The class bell rang, and Chen Haining turned around and stopped joking.
Chen Zhou didn't think about it anymore and just listened to the class carefully. He couldn't possibly fail the monthly exam, right?
At the end of the third class, Yang Yiyi was also called by Wang Xuehui, and she also came back with a school magazine.
Chen Haining pointed at Yang Yiyi who was two rows in front of him, turned around and said to Chen Zhou, "Do you think she will also be invited to the party?"
Chen Zhou ignored him.
However, when school was over in the morning, Chen Zhou slowed down again.
Walking out of the classroom with Yang Yiyi, Chen Zhou asked, "Old Wang asked you to go. Did he ask the parents to come?"
"No." Yang Yiyi asked curiously, "Have you been asked to be a parent?"
She didn't hear what Chen Zhou and the others said.
"Yeah. I don't know why, maybe Lao Wang wants to see what kind of excellent parents can give birth to such an excellent child." Chen Zhou still didn't believe that Wang Xuehui just wanted to find out. Then wasn't it enough for you to find out by calling?
Seeing that what Chen Zhou said was interesting, Yang Yiyi smiled and said, "It shouldn't be a big deal, don't think too much."
After thinking for a while, Yang Yiyi added: "And Chen Zhou, you have been making progress recently."
Chen Zhou nodded. Since there was no answer, he just ignored it.
Yang Yiyi still bought food and brought it back to the dormitory to eat, so Chen Zhou naturally continued to eat the rice with toppings.
Time never stops, it only moves forward.
Soon, news came out that the monthly exam would be held before the Golden Week holiday.
Although children who repeat a grade do not deserve holidays, the school still gave them three days off.
But it is too naive to think of having a peaceful holiday. You should pass this exam first.
It’s called a holiday only if you do well in the exam.
Otherwise, why would they let you take the monthly exam before the holiday? This is the school's combination punch!
But for Chen Zhou, this was not just about inviting parents, it was also the opportunity he had been waiting for a month to get rid of the last place in the ranking.
