Chapter 319: Parent-teacher Meeting
To say that this damn Awesome Duck is really bringing glory to Jin Buque, he’s only been at school for a few days and has already been called to the office by the teachers from time to time for brainwashing, uh! No, it’s called education.
The reason is not anything else, it’s because other students are very obedient to the teachers. When the school has any activities, such as asking for money to buy extracurricular books, or to enrich the students’ learning, they also ask for money to buy various extracurricular workbooks.
The most interesting thing is that they don’t care if the children learn or not, they always secretly hold tutoring sessions and charge tutoring fees.
They say it’s voluntary, but if you don’t pay, they’ll talk to you and ask why you didn’t pay.
Before buying, they said it was voluntary, and then they ask why you didn’t pay? Isn’t this clearly telling you that you have to pay whether you want to or not?
I remember back then I was always called to the office for talks and asked to pay.
Back then, not only were there tutoring sessions on Saturdays and Sundays, but even after school, we had to go to class and tutor in the evenings. They also charged money and made us buy a big pile of test papers, and just told us to do them without any explanation.
I have a hard time getting myself to do my homework, let alone buying those things.
Let’s just say back then I was at the age where I neglected my studies and was just messing around like an idiot.
The period when I transformed from a “three-good student” in people’s eyes to a campus bully.
I wasn’t even studying anymore, yet they still came and talked to me about paying money.
I have deep personal experience with this kind of situation. Of course, these are all past events, and they are basically gone now.
However, as the Wuji Realm has evolved to this day, some talented individuals who want to earn a little more living expenses in life have also started to use their brains and come up with these tactics.
However, as the Eldest Brother, the ruler of this world, I don’t want to get too involved. I can only pretend to be an ordinary person, acting as the parent of Awesome Duck.
Because this fellow Awesome Duck has been hanging out with Eldest Brother and my brothers for a long time, he lives a very clear-headed life. The moment the teacher talks to him, he directly angers the teacher to death.
The teacher said, “Awesome Duck, other students have paid, why haven’t you? What’s wrong? Do you think you’re smarter than everyone else?”
Awesome Duck replied with a puzzled look, “What do I need that for? I’m not attending tutoring.”
“You pay for tutoring, so you can come to class on Saturdays and Sundays. Otherwise, you’ll be home alone with no one to play with, what’s the point?”
“It’s fun. My family is big, and I have many people to play with. Why should I use my playtime for tutoring? Not to mention spending money, I’ve already been in school for five days. I finally get a break, why do I have to keep going to class?”
“Can you get by without tutoring? Your grades will suffer because some questions aren’t taught during regular classes and are only taught during tutoring sessions.”
“Then why aren’t they taught during regular classes? Don’t I pay tuition fees?”
“How can that be the same? What’s taught in regular classes is for regular classes, and what’s taught in tutoring is for tutoring. They are not the same thing.”
“How are they not the same thing? I pay tuition fees to go to school for learning, so why don’t they teach it during regular classes and make me pay extra for tutoring?”
“No, why can’t you understand what I’m saying? Did I say they wouldn’t teach it during regular classes? If you attend tutoring, wouldn’t it save you from being bored at home? You can play with classmates at school and learn, isn’t that great?”
“What you think is good is what you think. I personally don’t think it’s good. I study when I’m in school, and I play when I’m on vacation. I’m not even grown up yet, why do you put so much pressure on me?”
“How are you talking to the teacher? I’m asking if you can pay the tutoring fee or not. If not, I’ll call your parents to the parent-teacher meeting! If you don’t mind the embarrassment, then I’ll directly call your name at the parent-teacher meeting and tell your parents.”
“Who are you trying to scare? Go ahead and call them, I wasn’t raised to be scared. To tell you the truth, I definitely cannot pay this tutoring fee. Also, don’t say I didn’t warn you, you better not call my parent, if I don’t beat you up after calling them, I’m already being generous!”
After saying this, Awesome Duck arrogantly turned his head and left the office.
Afterwards, the school teacher called Jin Buque, which led to Jin Buque entrusting Eldest Brother to come over.
And before coming, Jin Buque also told me the general situation. After listening, Eldest Brother didn’t express any opinion, just nodded, indicating that he understood.
Upon arriving at Awesome Duck’s classroom, seeing that every parent was sitting beside their child, Eldest Brother strode to Awesome Duck’s side, pulled over a chair, and sat down.
Awesome Duck said to me, “Old… Eldest Brother, where is Brother Jin? Why didn’t he come?”
I patted his self-proclaimed intelligent little head and replied, “All things are reviving, he doesn’t have time to come. What? You don’t want me to come?”
Hearing me ask this, Awesome Duck quickly explained, “No, no, Eldest Brother, I didn’t think such a small matter would require your distinguished presence. If Brother Jin doesn’t have time, why didn’t you let Brother Xue or Brother Gou come?”
Hearing this, I asked with a puzzled frown, “What do you mean? Are you afraid I can’t conduct the parent-teacher meeting properly?”
Seeing that I misunderstood, Awesome Duck quickly explained, “No, Eldest Brother, our teacher, he likes to impose his own ideas on others. I know you’ve always hated people like that, so, so I didn’t mean anything else, I’m just worried…”
“Worried? Worried that your teacher will anger me?”
“Yes, yes, that’s what I mean, I’m afraid you’ll get angry because of my situation, and then…”
At this point, Awesome Duck suddenly paused and didn’t continue.
However, from his eyes, Eldest Brother could easily guess that this guy was definitely afraid that I, in a fit of anger, would vent my frustration on him later and order the kitchen to stew him.
I smiled and comforted him, “Alright, as someone who understands reason like me, how could I? Calm down and wait. I’ll see what this is all about, calling parents over.”
Hearing me say this, Awesome Duck finally put his anxious heart at ease, otherwise, he really feared that I would stew him with potatoes when we got home.
“Okay Eldest Brother, if you get angry, just ignore him and leave. I’ll handle the rest.”
“Alright, alright, I won’t talk to you anymore. Sit quietly for a while, don’t disturb the other parents who are chatting like they’re at a market getting groceries.”
After I said this, Awesome Duck wisely shut his mouth, and Eldest Brother closed his eyes to rest, using the surrounding noise to continue cultivating my state of mind like still water.
About ten minutes later, a wild boar with an unappetizing eating posture walked in, holding a chicken leg in his hand.
After standing behind the podium, he put down the half-eaten meat, wiped his mouth, and began to speak.
“Parents, please be quiet for a moment.” His voice was not loud, but it reached everyone’s ears.
All the parents were as obedient as primary school students, and instantly closed their mouths that had been incessantly boasting.
Seeing that everyone had quieted down, the wild boar continued.
“Today, I’ve called all parents here mainly to discuss two matters. Firstly, thank you all for your trust in our school for such a long time. On behalf of all teachers, students, and leaders, I express our highest gratitude and thanks to all parents.”
After saying this, he bowed symbolically to everyone and then continued, “Secondly, taking advantage of this parent-teacher meeting, I must praise our classmate Zhuzhuxia, because he has performed exceptionally well this semester. Zhuzhuxia is not only very active in his studies, but he is also always the first to step forward and participate in any school activities.”
While speaking, the wild boar scanned the entire audience, finally landing his gaze on Zhuzhuxia and his father, and said to them, “Zhuzhuxia, and Zhuzhuxia’s parent, please come up. Today, on behalf of all school leaders, I will present this excellent student award, symbolizing honor, to Zhuzhuxia!”
