Chapter 115 Lin Guojun's First Parent-Teacher Conference
She rolled her eyes at Lin Guojun and said, "Look at you, so smug. Is it really necessary to make such a fuss over a parent-teacher conference?"
Back then, Lin Guojun said the same thing to his wife.
He straightened his collar and replied verbatim, "Hehe, with so many people watching me, I have to tidy myself up a bit."
However, everyone recognizes Lin Guiying, but not Lin Guojun's face.
He rarely came to school to begin with, and now, having changed his usual disheveled appearance, no one in the village recognized him, let alone these parents from other villages.
So the old man strode into the campus with great pride, but no one paid him any attention.
Lin Guojun was having an existential crisis. What happened to being the center of attention? What happened to being surrounded by people and unable to move?
Oh well, I'm too old to be in the limelight anymore.
When he walked into the classroom and sat in Lin Xi's seat, everyone cast envious glances at him at the same time.
The old man blushed instantly!
Although it was called a parents' meeting, most of the time was spent praising Lin Xi and highlighting the significant contributions Lin Xi made to her classmates through her study notes.
"The class average score increased by twenty points in this exam!"
A round of enthusiastic applause erupted as the parents looked at Lin Guojun with gratitude, their hands red from clapping.
Look at other people's children, they not only improve themselves, but also help their children improve together.
What could be more gratifying than a child's grades improving?
The last time I was this happy was when Lin Xi gave away children's composition books for free!
Unlike Lin Guiying, Lin Guojun was not arrogant. He chuckled to himself and didn't dare to look up at others.
It was so hot that his old face turned red...
After the parents' meeting ended, Lin Guojun was surrounded by people.
"You must be Grandpa Lin Xi. You look so young. I didn't recognize you at first."
"Grandpa Lin Xi, I mentioned to your wife last time that we couldn't buy the book, and your granddaughter immediately sent one to my son. Thank you so much!"
"Grandpa Lin Xi, my child has improved by more than ten places this time. He said it was because he looked at Lin Xi's study notes that he made such a big improvement. Could you please tell her to thank him for me?"
……
Lin Guojun grinned and agreed as he slowly walked out, unable to move very fast.
So this is what it feels like to be the center of attention! This is what it feels like to be surrounded by people and unable to move!
As they left the classroom and walked onto the playground, parents from other grades, upon hearing that this was Grandpa Lin Xi, swarmed around him.
Hey, I was just worried about not being able to find the right person.
It turns out that other classes also mentioned Lin Xi's contributions to her study notes during their meetings.
Except for first and second graders, all other grades benefited. Parents of students in third grade and above all know Lin Xi.
"Grandpa Lin Xi, I'm Liu Xiaoli's parent from fourth grade. Thank you for your granddaughter! She improved her ranking by five places this time!"
"Grandpa Lin Xi, I am the parent of Su Bai, a third-grader. Thanks to your granddaughter, my son has moved up fifteen places in the rankings!"
A man shoved him aside. "Grandpa Lin Xi, my daughter is Wang Ying, a fourth-grader. She used to be Lin Xi's classmate. She got first place this time. She can even recite your granddaughter's notes!"
After saying that, he looked at the other parents with a smug expression.
Not to be outdone, a middle-aged woman jumped out and shouted, "My son is Zhao Liang in fifth grade, and he got second place this time! His deskmate is Su Xin, who used to be Lin Xi's deskmate!"
……
Everyone unconsciously compared themselves to each other, trying to get involved with Lin Xi.
Lin Guojun stood in the middle, at a loss, not knowing who to look at.
Lin Xi noticed that her grandfather hadn't come out for a while, so she went in to look for him. She found him surrounded by a group of people, his face flushed, scratching his head and rubbing his hands.
She rushed into the encirclement, shouting, "Grandpa!"
Upon hearing the shout, the parents immediately quieted down and made way.
So she was Lin Xi!
The thieves who were just shouting excitedly have become incredibly reserved now that they've seen me in person.
Lin Xi pulled her grandfather out, and the others dared not stop her or speak, afraid of frightening the little girl. They only said gently, "Little Lin Xi, you've worked hard!"
Someone even affectionately called out, "Xiao Xi, don't overwork yourself with your studies, remember to rest more!"
"Lin Xi, thank you for your efforts!"
Lin Xi replied with a smile, "Okay, okay, you're welcome. Goodbye, Uncle, goodbye, Auntie."
Everyone stood still and waved goodbye to Lin Xi, their faces beaming with loving smiles.
As he walked out of the school gate, Lin Guojun rubbed the corner of his mouth. "Wow, these parents are so enthusiastic, their faces are practically frozen from smiling."
No matter how much you rub it, the corners of her mouth still turn up high.
Lin Xi shook her grandfather's hand, "Grandpa, you'll get used to it after a few more times."
Lin Guojun secretly calculated how long it would be before it was his turn next.
When she got home, Lin Guiying was sitting at the front door fanning herself with a palm leaf fan. Seeing Lin Guojun grinning from ear to ear, she felt even more aroused.
Lin Guojun naturally wanted to show off, "Ying, you've never seen anything like this before. Basically all the parents in the school came to greet me."
Lin Guiying raised an eyebrow in surprise. Why? Because he was dressed neatly?
"Xiao Xi gave them the notes, and those students were just reading..."
"Teacher Su praised him for a full half hour..."
"As soon as I stepped out the door, I was surrounded by a huge crowd. Now everyone knows I'm Grandpa Xiaoxi..."
……
Lin Guojun recounted his story in detail, his smug expression irritating Lin Guiying.
Hmph, you've managed to catch this one, you're lucky.
After completing the preparatory ceremony for the lottery, Lin Xi sat upright in her chair, closed her eyes, and looked forward to it with great anticipation.
[Ding! A smart table and chair set: automatically corrects poor posture, promoting an upright posture even after prolonged use.]
A set of wooden table and chairs appeared beside the bed, exuding a faint sandalwood fragrance, complete with drawers and cabinets.
The desktop is large enough to easily accommodate a computer and books.
The chair and tabletop are the same color, both dark brown.
When you sit down, you unconsciously straighten your back.
Lin Xi's face lit up with joy. "Xiao Yi, thank you so much! You've touched my heart again!"
My neck has become slightly forward-leaning from reading and writing for long periods of time. I'm still growing and developing, so if I don't correct my posture properly, it will be difficult to change it later.
In my previous life, I spent long hours writing, which not only caused my neck to tilt forward but also made me somewhat hunchbacked. I bought many corrective belts, but none of them helped.
Now I don't have to worry anymore; it's like fulfilling a wish from my previous life.
Xiao Yi was very proud of itself. It was only because it noticed that its host's sitting posture was not standard that it specially went to find a set of tables and chairs.
Its host will grow into the most perfect form.
Lin Xi moved the original table and chairs out, looking at the pitted and uneven tabletop with a hint of reluctance on her face.
This old set of table and chairs carries memories of two lifetimes; in my previous life, I was still using it until my death.
Because it contained my childish wishes, and also the marks of my grandfather's repairs.
In the end, I couldn't bear to throw them away, so I moved the table and chairs to my dad's bedroom.
The Lin family's house wasn't very big, but Lin Dayuan's room was the most spacious because he had fewer belongings.
Lin Guiying and her companion heard clanging and banging inside the house. When they came in, they found that their granddaughter's bedroom had a new set of table and chairs that had appeared out of nowhere.
