I Have Decided to Go Look for My Father - Chapter 89
It’s a newly opened dessert shop recently.
In a separate cubicle, Dong Mingming’s wailing sound echoed in every corner.
“Oh my god, the entire parent conference will be the first time the school starts. The school is going to play us to death!”
“It’s not human!”
“This is definitely the darkest start of school I have ever experienced!” Dong Mingming held the book and said with a look of lovelessness.
Because the score ranking was not announced before the holiday, many people had a peaceful and happy holiday.
How beautiful the holidays are, how sad the beginning of school.
“It’s almost double sadness!”
“No, it should be three times the sadness!”
The beginning of school is sad enough. This time I have to face the horrible test results that are likely to be taken last semester. The most important thing is to hand in holiday homework!
Seeing Dong Mingming spit out, Gu Xi twitched the corners of her mouth: Who had beaten up and said that he had to write all his homework ten days before the holiday? After a holiday, Dong Mingming didn’t even write the first ten pages.
Gu Xi glanced at Dong Mingming with a shame on her face, couldn’t help but interrupt her, and asked, “Have you finished copying?”
“I didn’t copy!” Dong Mingming retorted without thinking, and then said: “I’m just for reference.”
Gu Xi gave a dry cough without a word, and looked at Dong Mingming without a smile, and asked, “Then, Mr. Dong, have you finished your reference?”
“not yet……”
“It’s coming soon, wait for me.” Dong Mingming finally calmed down, and began to copy, not right, it was the vacation homework that began to’reference’ Gu Xi.
However, this time, less than 5 minutes after being quiet, Dong Mingming once again looked up at Gu Xi.
“No, Gu Xi, did you make a mistake in this question? Look, if you write four lines in such a large box, you can calculate the answer?” Dong Mingming pointed to a question on Gu Xi’s homework.
Gu Xi: “…” Good fellow, the one who copied her actually questioned her? !
“You have 6 hours left.” Gu Xi reminded when she glanced at the time.
The group has already notified that all vacation assignments will be handed in before the parent meeting.
Hearing this, Dong Mingming glanced at Gu Xi bitterly: “Don’t mention this, we are still good friends.”
“Hey,” Dong Mingming sighed, “I want my grandmother to help me hold a parent meeting.”
“Speaking of which, Gu Xi, who will hold the parent meeting tomorrow?”
“My dad.”
“It’s great.” In Dong Mingming’s eyes, Gu Shao is a super gentle father. And also handsome!
“I think too.” Gu Xi said, bending her eyebrows.
——
The next day, Gu Shao took Gu Xi to school.
Along the way, Gu Xi was tweeting non-stop.
In the front row, the driver listened to the sound coming from behind, with a smile on his face.
He took the most time to pick up Gu Xi. At first, he drove to Zhangjiacun to handle the household registration for Gu Xi.
Some things seem to be the same, but if you observe carefully, you will find the changes. Compared with the initial restraint, Gu Xi now is obviously much more lively in front of Gu Shao.
“dad.”
“Huh?” Gu Shao was dealing with work, and when he heard Gu Xi talking to him, he occasionally answered.
“Do you remember the things we said before?” Gu Xi blinked and looked at Gu Shao and asked.
Before the holiday, Gu Shao had promised Gu Xi, as long as Gu Xi can get to the top ten in the city in the final exam this time, Gu Shao agreed to take the NTN test.
This is a youth training program of the NTN Technology R&D Center. The training group is mainly for students from middle school to university age range, mainly high school students.
Those students who have enough talent, enough professional level, or participated in some competitions to get rankings, as long as they pass the NTN test, they can become a member of the NTN training program.
Although they cannot be regarded as regular employees of NTN, those who pass the test can get NTN’s learning and scientific research support, and are eligible to participate in some NTN projects.
For these, Gu Xi only asked Gu Shao to investigate on the Internet in advance.
Gu Shao looked down at Gu Xi and raised his eyebrows: “I want to go to NTN so much.”
“Yeah.” Gu Xi nodded, she had her plan.
Seeing Gu Xi’s serious face, Gu Shao secretly laughed, raised his hand and rubbed Gu Xi’s head, and said, “Don’t worry, I haven’t forgotten.”
“That’s good.”
The car quickly drove to the school gate, Gu Shao and Gu Xi got out of the car and walked all the way into the school.
Did not notice that after them, two sneaky figures also sneaked into the school.
These two people are not Mr. Gu and Mr. Shen, who else.
“Is it from here?”
“Nonsense, don’t enter from here, where do you enter from?”
“How do I think there is a door over there.” Mr. Shen pointed aside.
“The door over there is usually used for faculty and staff, as well as the school’s public car. This is the door for normal entry and exit.”
“So this is ah.”
“Nonsense, but you old fellow, wouldn’t you have never been here before?” Old man Gu showed contempt.
“Have you been here before?”
“Of course.” The tone of Old Man Gu’s words was uttered–he had secretly come back many times before.
“Let’s go, let’s take you to visit today.”
Mr. Gu called Mr. Shen and walked to the school.
As a result, as soon as he was about to enter the school gate, he was stopped by a security guard at the school gate.
“Two old masters, what are you here for?” the security guard asked.
“We are here…” Elder Shen was about to speak when he was interrupted by Elder Gu.
“It’s nothing, let’s just go around.” Old Man Gu said.
“Walk around?” The security officer regarded the two as the uncles walking nearby, and said: “This is the school. If you just turn around, you can’t let you in.”
“Then how can they get in?” Mr. Gu pointed to the parents who were entering the school.
“Those are the parents of the students. For the parents meeting here today, you are not parents. Of course you can’t let you in.” Faced with the two elderly people, the security guard explained patiently.
“Who said we are not parents of students?”
“You are?”
“certainly.”
Hearing this, the security officer looked at the two elderly but very dignified men in front of him, thinking that they seemed to not want to tell lies, and asked: “Then, which class does your child belong to?”
“Class 7.”
“Class 7 in the second grade.” Elder Shen added.
“I am the student’s grandfather.”
“I am the student’s grandfather.”
The two said one after another.
The security guard looked at Mr. Gu and Mr. Shen, and was amazed.
“You belong to the same family?” I have seen my parents come together for a parent-teacher meeting, and this is the first time my grandfather and grandpa come together.
Father Gu: “Of course not.”
Father Shen: “Almost.”
“Almost what?” Hearing that, Mr. Gu glared at Mr. Shen, and then explained to the security guard: “He belongs to his family, I belong to my family, and it’s just two children in the same class. In addition, I have two other grandchildren. Also in the attached middle school.”
The security officer nodded suspiciously, and finally decided to call the head teacher of Class 7 and ask him to lead someone at the school gate.
——
Not long after, Teacher Chen rushed to the school gate, and when he saw the two old men, Mr. Chen was taken aback.
“Good guys, I am the head teacher of the second and seventh grade, my surname is Chen.” The head teacher introduced himself and asked the two of them: “Are you the parents of the students in our class?”
Mr. Gu and Mr. Shen nodded.
Teacher Chen frowned.
“I don’t know if the two parents who listened to the students said that we tried our best not to suggest that the students’ grandparents, elder brothers and sisters come to hold parent 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 school that this time the faculty leader meeting is very important, and it is recommended that the children’s parents come over as much as possible.
Moreover, I didn’t see any parents in the group replying that they couldn’t come.
Teacher Chen thought in surprise.
“Which student’s parent are you?” the head teacher asked again.
Originally, the head teacher was still wondering if any student in his class was afraid to let his parents come because he did not do well in the exams, so he fooled his grandfather and grandfather to come over.
As a result, without waiting for the head teacher to tell his guess, I listened to the two old men, one said “Gu Xi” and the other said “Sheng Xiu Yan”.
“Sheng Xiuyan and Gu Xi?!” The head teacher’s attitude instantly changed 180 degrees.
Although in theory, all students are the same in the eyes of the teacher, 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 being excited at this moment.
Among the top 10 in the city, their classes account for two, and they are still in the front row, so they don’t have to be too face-conscious.
At this time, the head teacher was walking in the school, and only felt that the school flowers were all for her.
“It turns out to be the grandfather and grandfather of Gu Xi and Sheng Xiuyan, then it doesn’t matter.” After all, with the performance and self-consciousness of these two students, it doesn’t matter if the parents don’t come to the meeting.
“You two come with me, I will take you to sit in the class.” The head teacher said to the two old men enthusiastically.
Hearing this, the expressions on the faces of the two old men became weird.
“No, no, no, no more,” Mr. Gu waved his hand: “We just heard that the results were announced today. We came to have a look. 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. I wanted to take a look at the two babies’ grades, whoever gave the best to the other and left. If they went to class, wouldn’t they be exposed?
As for the cause of this incident, we have to talk about it from the New Year.
——The two old men didn’t know where they started, but they got better for some reason, even their grandchildren’s performances.
So, talking, the two met today to take a look at the first-hand ranking.
Hearing the explanations of the two, the head teacher approximately understood what they meant, smiled and nodded, and then refused to let the two old people leave any more, directly found out the city ranking this time from his mobile phone, and handed it to the two. People watch.
——
On the other side, on the square in front of the teaching building.
At this time, Gu Xi and several people were also standing in front of the bulletin board and looking at the ranking of the final exam results this time.
Compared with the fancy way to announce the results of the previous monthly exams, the announcement of the city’s unified exam rankings this time is much simpler: from left to right, from top to bottom, each person’s name is arranged in order according to test scores and scores.
First is the serial number and name, then the class information, and 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 her last number was written with ‘1’.
It’s not just Gu Xi, the last number of the second and third place below is also ‘1’.
“Meaning that the three people in the top three in our school are tied for first place in the city?” someone asked next to him.
On the side, a teacher explained: “Our teacher also said before that because it is the city’s unified examination paper, the difficulty will be easier than the paper issued by our school itself. Therefore, this time the unified examination, the single subject will not get full marks. In addition, there are a few who have a total score close to the full score.”
“According to the ranking method in the city, the same scores are ranked according to the tie.”
“So, there are a lot of first place exams in the city?” Another parent asked.
“Indeed,” the teacher nodded, changed the conversation, and smiled at a group of students and parents again, and said: “However, the total number of people in the city who got the score of Gu Xi was only 5, and our attached middle school accounted for it. There are three, which is very good.”
And the three tied for first place, from top to bottom, are Gu Xi, Huang Kaisen from Class 9, and Sheng Xiuyan.
The total score of the three is the same, and the sorting is based on the first letter of the pinyin of the name.
It doesn’t matter who is up and who is down.
However, looking at the extra name between himself and Gu Xi’s name, Sheng Xiuyan felt it was an eyesore.
——
Here, Gu Shao received a call. The call was made by Mr. Gu’s bodyguard.
“gentlemen.”
“The old gentleman and Shen’s old gentlemen have gone back.” The bodyguard said on the phone.
“Got it.” Gu Shao replied.
After hanging up the phone, Gu Shao raised his eyes to look at the ranking list in front of him, and a smile flashed across his eyes.
This time, not only did Gu Xi get the first place, but Gu Yanxiao and Gu Chenyi also did well in the exams and both entered the top ten.
Gu Shao photographed the results and sent them to the Gu family group.
——
The parent meeting begins.
Because the overall ranking of A High School Affiliated to the city was among the best among the city’s high schools, and Class 7 was even the top one, the head teacher was in a very good mood and the parent meeting was very happy.
Even Dong Mingming, who had been worried that he would be cool before, was relieved after the parent meeting.
Although her overall ranking has not changed much from before, thanks to the simple blessing of the exam, her scores are very good.
——
The parent meeting ended, and Gu Xi followed Gu Shao home.
In the car, I caught a glimpse of Gu Shao holding a mobile phone, not knowing what he was editing, and Gu Xi was suddenly curious.
Look at the interface, a little familiar, like a circle of friends?
Gu Xi was surprised.
Gu Shao rarely posts in Moments, because it is set to be visible for three days, so most of the time, Gu Shao’s Moments are empty.
When Gu Shao was one of the few who posted to Moments, Gu Xi was either sleeping or doing homework. In addition, Gu Xi didn’t like to use Moments. When she finally opened Moments, Gu Shao’s status had already been updated by other students’ latest status.
As a result, for a long time, Gu Xi had acquiesced that Gu Shao would not post in Moments.
At this time, seeing Gu Shao in Moments with his own eyes made Gu Xi very surprised.
“Dad, what are you posting?” Gu Xi moved over, slumped on Gu Shao’s arm, and then leaned her head and looked at Gu Shao’s phone screen curiously.
What catches the eye is her test results this time, and then a simple sentence is attached: [Daughter’s final exam results. 】
Gu Xi was surprised to see the state of this message about to be sent out, and then to Gu Shao, his face was full of inconceivableness. Obviously, Gu Xi did not expect that Gu Shaofa’s state was actually about her.
After being discovered, Gu Shao didn’t hide it, but clicked ‘share’ in front of Gu Xi.
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 grabbed Gu Shao’s arm and poked the two pieces of news with a finger.
Both of the two messages were answered by Xu Fei, one like and one reply: [666, it is more difficult to get the first place in a simple exam than in a difficult one. 】
Makes sense.
Seeing Xu Fei’s reply, even Gu Xi nodded silently.
Gu Xi pulled on Gu Shao’s phone again, and saw the Moments that the other party had posted before.
—— Originally, Gu Xi thought that Gu Shao’s circle of friends, even if they were to post, should be full of the style of the boss, not about the latest NTN technology, but about financial knowledge.
As a result, Gu Xi found out that she was wrong.
In Gu Shao’s 20-odd circle of friends, except for a few children’s education chicken soup articles to share, the rest are all about her.
Although Gu Xi did not show her face in these photos, every one of Gu Xi can be seen where she was and what she was doing.
In each circle of friends, in addition to the photos, Gu Shao also attached a simple text description: daughter’s competition, daughter’s participation in Sutuo activities, daughter’s gifts…
Although they are all simple descriptions, there is always a sense of ostentation between the lines.
“Okay, don’t look at your phone in the car.” Before Gu Xi had finished Gu Shao’s entire state, Gu Shao had already put away his phone.
Gu Xi had a little regret, but she was wondering when Gu Shao was not paying attention to change the setting of his circle of friends to be permanently visible to herself.
Gu Xi raised her head to look at Gu Shao, and then grinned.
“What are you laughing at?” Gu Shao asked. Laughing stupidly.
Gu Xi’s smile widened again, and she asked Gu Shao: “Am I proud of you now?”
Although Gu Shao didn’t say anything, she felt that his circle of friends was just showing off! Show daughter!
Hearing this, Gu Shao was taken aback for a moment, and then his gaze at Gu Xi softened. He chuckled twice and said, “It has always been.”
“real?!”
Gu Shao didn’t speak any more.
Gu Xi laughed twice, and then said: “Then I was admitted to the top ten in the city this time, do you have to keep your promise?”
The promise to let her take the NTN test.
Before, Gu Xi had submitted an application to NTN, but it was rejected.
Later, she heard from Xu Fei that Gu Shao personally rejected the application on the grounds that she was delayed 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.
