Chapter 558 Xixi is not laughing

In the classroom of Class 8, Grade 3, Affiliated No. 1 Middle School.

After the parent-teacher meeting began, Kong Junxiang first briefly greeted everyone, and then quickly got to the point, introducing the midterm exam and the elective exam that had just ended.

By the time he was in his third year of high school, Kong Junxiang had met the parents at least twice, so he was no stranger to them.

Some parents who are concerned about their children’s school situation often call Kong Junxiang privately to find out more.

Therefore, Kong Junxiang did not keep anyone in suspense and gave a general report on the academic performance of Class 8 of Grade 3 in a serious manner.

Among them, Ying Chanxi and Li Luo, the top two students in the grade, were praised as usual.

In addition, students who have made progress are specifically praised.

Among them, Xu Yinghuan, who has made the most obvious progress in the past two years, received special praise from Kong Junxiang.

In this midterm exam, Xu Yinghuan successfully ranked among the top 120 in the school.

This is because the results of this selection have not yet been incorporated into the midterm exam.

The results of the elective examination had just come out. In addition to the full score in one subject, Xu Yinghuan had achieved a score of 97 in the other two subjects.

If the three minor subjects in this midterm exam were changed to the current values, Xu Yinghuan would just be able to cross the threshold of 100th place in the whole school.

In other words, as long as Xu Yinghuan works harder, she might be able to get into Qianjiang University in the college entrance examination next year.

Hearing the head teacher praising his daughter, Xu Yinghuan's father, who had taken time out to attend his daughter's parents' meeting, adjusted his glasses, turned his head to look at Zhao Rongjun's mother beside him, and said softly:

"My daughter told me that she, your child, and several other classmates have formed a study group."

"She has made such rapid progress in the past two years, thanks to the help of your child."

"I have to thank you for her."

Zhao Rongjun's mother was actually quite nervous because Xu Yinghuan's father came to attend the parent-teacher meeting and wore a neat suit and his hair was done very neatly.

Looking at the famous watch on the other person's wrist, although Zhao Rongjun's mother couldn't tell what brand it was, she felt it would be very expensive at a glance.

That kind of cultured and wealthy temperament is something that ordinary people can't imitate.

Hearing the other party's thanks, Zhao Rongjun's mother suddenly became more nervous, and her words were slightly stuttered. She forced a smile and said, "No, no, my child doesn't contribute much. Usually I have to rely on Ying Chanxi and Li Luo."

"How could that be?" Xu Yinghuan's father smiled and said gently, "My daughter tells me all day that your son is the most serious when explaining the questions, and Li Luo only complains about her stupidity."

He praised Zhao Rongjun and made a small joke.

This made Zhao Rongjun's mother relax a little.

Then the two chatted for a few more words and continued to listen to the speech of the head teacher at the podium.

"After this round of selection, 32 students in our class have taken two selections, and their secondary subject scores have been finalized," Kong Junxiang said. "Another eight students will have to wait until April next year to take the final selection."

"So far, in our class, there are still only two students who have scored full marks in three secondary subjects: Ying Chanxi and Li Luo."

"In addition, there are six students who scored full marks in two subjects and 97 points in one subject."

Among the six people mentioned by Kong Junxiang, there are Zhao Rongjun and Qiao Xinyan.

For this, Qiao Xinyan's father also specially thanked Li Guohong, as well as Ying Zhicheng and Yuan Wanqing who came later.

They are obviously also aware of the benefits of having a study group for their children.

Before this, Qiao Xinyan's grades were around 20th or 30th in the whole grade.

Since we formed a study group, my ranking has basically stabilized at around the top ten in the grade.

In this midterm exam, I even ranked among the top ten in the whole school.

Although in terms of ranking, the improvement is not as obvious as Xu Yinghuan's.

But for the top 50, each step forward becomes more difficult.

Qiao Xinyan's family was very happy that she was able to rank among the top ten in the school this time.

As for Li Guohong, he is no longer as unrestrained as he was when he first felt the impact of his son's academic performance.

Having experienced the parent-teacher conferences in his freshman and sophomore years of high school, when he now hears Kong Junxiang's routine praises and notices the envious looks of other parents, he looks calm and feels that it's nothing special.

It is true that I have become accustomed to Li Luo's excellence and have become desensitized to him.

Other parents are mostly envious, but there is nothing to be jealous of.

The main thing is that other people’s children not only have good academic performance, but are also outstanding in other aspects.

Parents who communicate more with their children at home know that Li Luo, the monitor of Class 8, also wrote a very popular novel online.

The songs he wrote were also made into an album by Yuan Wanqing, and even helped Yuan Wanqing win the runner-up on the singer's stage.

You know, many of the parents here have watched the show Singer.

When I first watched it, I learned from the children that all the songs sung by Yuan Wanqing were written by their class monitor. I was so surprised.

It is said that a while ago a TV drama crew moved into the No. 1 Middle School, and the original novel was written by Li Luo.

For such young geniuses, most parents really don't have the heart to compare them, and can only feel envy.

……

The morning parent-teacher meeting officially ended at 11:00 am.

Parents with questions continued to stay and have further in-depth communication with Kong Junxiang.

Parents like Li Guohong who don't have any problems can pack up and leave.

However, just when Li Guohong was about to go back with Ying Zhicheng and Yuan Wanqing, they were stopped by someone.

Xu Yinghuan's father politely greeted them, including the parents of Zhao Rongjun and Qiao Xinyan, and exchanged contact information.

Afterwards, Xu Yinghuan's father said that he hoped that when he had time in the future, he could invite everyone to come together, bring the children, and find a place to have a meal.

Li Guohong and others naturally agreed.

Six parents went out together, and Li Luo and Ying Chanxi followed behind. After finding Yan Zhusheng and the others upstairs, everyone walked towards the school gate together.

"Dad, you didn't say anything bad about me, did you?" Xu Yinghuan approached her father and asked with a suspicious look on her face.

"I can't praise you enough." Xu Yinghuan's father touched her head with a smile, "I want to take some time next time to treat everyone to a meal together, what do you think?"

"Okay, okay~" Xu Yinghuan nodded happily immediately, "Just come to our house to eat, Xixi and the others haven't been to our house to play yet."

"It's all right. You can pick a time when you get back."

Six parents and six children were talking and laughing along the way until they parted ways at the school gate.

Li Guohong and two others, along with Li Luo, Ying Chanxi and Yan Zhusheng, walked towards the direction of Bihai Lanting.

Zhao Rongjun and Qiao Xinyan were going in similar directions, and after seeing off Xu Yinghuan and her father, the two families walked slowly back along the road. Li Luo glanced at Zhao Rongjun, who was following behind his parents without saying a word, and immediately laughed a few times.

……

The six people returned to Bihai Lanting and happened to meet Xu Rongsheng who came to have lunch at the gate of the community. So the seven of them went upstairs together and returned to 1502.

As soon as we entered the living room, we could smell the aroma of food wafting from the dining table.

Lin Xiuhong and Cui Suling had almost finished preparing lunch.

Xu Youyu was waiting at the kitchen door. As soon as a dish was ready, he would go in and serve the plate obediently.

At this time, Ying Chanxi and Yan Zhusheng came back, changed into slippers, and went into the kitchen to help.

After a while, a table full of sumptuous dishes was served.

Ten people from four families sat down one after another and gathered around the table to have lunch.

"It's been almost three months since the summer vacation." Li Guohong picked up his glass and said with a smile, "Today is the parents' meeting, and it's a rare opportunity for us to get together again. Come on, cheers!"

The three children continued to drink juice, while the adult, Mr. Xu Youyu, poured himself a glass of beer and drank with the fathers.

While eating, they started chatting at the table.

"Wanqing's new album is selling very well." Ying Zhicheng said, "Although it is not as good as the previous one for the time being, it is also among the top three in sales on the entire network this year."

"Thanks to Li Luo." Yuan Wanqing said with a smile, "I feel embarrassed to bother you every time."

"Then don't ask Li Luo to write songs for you next time." Yan Zhusheng suddenly whispered, "Let him leave all the songs to me."

Yuan Wanqing: “…”

"Are you still trying to steal something from your mother?" Li Luo didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He stuffed a chicken leg into Yan Zhusheng's bowl and said, "Shut your mouth."

"Oh..." Yan Zhusheng lowered his head obediently and stuffed the chicken leg into his little mouth.

Blocked.

Everyone at the table laughed.

Afterwards, Ying Zhicheng talked about the progress of "Little Joy".

In addition, Huayue Film and Television is also promoting another TV series at the same time, which is scheduled to be released in the spring of next year, a few months earlier than "Little Joy".

According to director Wang Jun, the editing work of "Little Joy" will probably be completed by the end of this month, and we will be able to see the finished film then.

So Li Luo immediately said that he wanted to see the finished film first.

Ying Zhicheng naturally would not refuse and said it was no problem.

After that, Lin Xiuhong asked about Xu Youyu's new book: "I remember that Youyu has written a new book, right? I read a few chapters, but I didn't quite understand them. How is the result now?"

"Not bad." Xu Youyu responded in a low voice.

Although he was used to his family knowing that he wrote novels, Xu Youyu was still a little embarrassed to discuss it in front of so many people at the dinner table.

Fortunately, this new book is not about entertainment, so driving is not that serious.

Especially since the male and female protagonists are still at the stage of fellow Taoists and have not evolved to the level of Taoist companions, they have to hold back if they want to drive. Xu Youyu is not as embarrassed as in the previous book.

"I read it and I think it's quite novel." Xu Rongsheng immediately opened up when he talked about this aspect. "Your idea of ​​spiritual energy revival is quite interesting. It can be combined with some folk legends, ancient myths and other folk customs."

"If you encounter any problems in this area, I can recommend you a teacher who studies the history and literature in this area."

"You can go and take further studies when the time comes. I remember she has an elective course on this subject."

"Okay." Xu Youyu nodded happily, "But the idea of ​​spiritual energy revival was not mine. It was Li Luo's idea."

"Oh?" Xu Rongsheng raised his eyebrows and looked at Li Luo.

"Ahem." Li Luo didn't expect the topic to extend to him. When he met Xu Rongsheng's eyes, he knew that his future father-in-law's curiosity had risen again.

So he sorted out his thoughts, and then shared carefully:
"In fact, to put it simply, it is an alternative apocalyptic thinking."

"The 2012 doomsday prophecy, the one from the Mayans, Uncle Xu, you know that, right?"

"This concept was very popular a few years ago, and even Hollywood made a movie based on it."

"On the online literature side, related apocalyptic literature has also emerged."

"But these are all foreign cultures from the West after all. In comparison, I think the model of spiritual energy revival is more in line with our domestic apocalyptic culture."

“The end of the world is not actually the end of the world, but the end of the old world order.”

"Therefore, the introduction of a strong variable causes the old order to receive a severe impact in a short period of time and collapses the social structure in an instant."

"As long as this effect is achieved, it can actually be considered a kind of apocalyptic writing."

"It's just that the revival of spiritual energy has slowed down this change a little bit, making it appear more gentle, but it's essentially the same."

After listening to Li Luo's analysis, Xu Rongsheng had a deeper understanding of this concept and nodded slowly: "That's indeed the truth. If you write in depth, there are still many places that can be explored in detail."

That being said, Li Luo would never recommend Xu Youyu to write this kind of thing in more depth.

First, there is an audit risk.

Second, it is a thankless task and readers may not really like it.

After talking about this topic, Xu Youyu turned the conversation to the new book that Li Luo has been preparing recently.

So Li Luo accompanied Xu Rongsheng and Ying Zhicheng to talk about his current general ideas.

Ying Zhicheng gave some market suggestions related to costume dramas from the perspective of the TV drama market.

Xu Rongsheng recommended some information to him from the perspective of fictional history.

We had a very pleasant chat at the dinner table.

Soon, the meal was almost finished, but a few fathers were still drinking and chatting.

As a result, at this time, Ying Zhicheng suddenly mentioned the New Year, and said casually and unintentionally: "Didn't Wanqing and Zhusheng come to our place to celebrate the New Year last year?"

"I thought it wouldn't matter where they stayed during the New Year, so we decided to come together this year."

"what do you think?"

As he said this, Ying Zhicheng looked at Li Guohong next to him and asked.

Li Guohong naturally had no objection and nodded happily: "Sure, everyone in our family likes Wanqing very much. The last time she came to our place, we all got along well."

Lin Xiuhong also smiled and agreed, holding Yan Zhusheng's hand and chatting happily.

But when Ying Chanxi, who was standing by, heard this, his face suddenly changed. He then stood up silently and went to the bathroom.
