Chapter 193 Adding fuel to the fire
"Your parents are not here, tell the teacher and go next time."
Wang Huiying didn't take the parents' meeting seriously at all. She helped Yuanyuan take off her schoolbag and said, "Hurry up and change your new clothes. It's almost time for dinner. Don't get them dirty."
"No, the teacher said we can't ask for leave, all parents must go."
"What parent-teacher meeting? What are you going to? This teacher doesn't teach well, but only bothers parents." Wang Huiying said nonchalantly, "Let's eat first."
Yuan Yuan looked unhappy and snorted.
"It's okay. I'll go." Guan Youshuang took out some of Gu Xiaoyun's clothes and said, "I happen to have nothing to do tomorrow."
"If it doesn't work, let Xiaoyun go, so you don't have to go back and forth. You just took a ride today, so you should have a good rest tomorrow."
"It's okay, Mom. Parent-Teacher Conferences are actually quite important. They allow parents to understand their children's situation at school. I'll go."
Yuanyuan was happy. He felt even more proud to see such a beautiful aunt attending the parent-teacher conference.
The family was having dinner when Peng Xiaoling came in.
Ever since Gu Errong's sister-in-law Huang Chunyan went out to work, Peng Xiaoling rarely comes to their house.
Peng Xiaoling looked at the chicken soup and pork ribs on the table and couldn't help swallowing.
"Youshuang and Xiaoyun are back? How's Xiaoyun? Did you have a good exam?"
"It went pretty smoothly."
"I think I can get into high school, right?"
"can."
Hearing Gu Xiaoyun's confidence, Peng Xiaoling felt uncomfortable all over.
"Come and sit down, Xiaoling, Xiaoyun, go get a pair of chopsticks for your sister-in-law."
"No need, Auntie. We've already eaten." Peng Xiaoling waved her hand quickly. "Our Xiaofan said there will be a parent-teacher meeting tomorrow. I just came here to ask Yuanyuan if it's true."
"The parents' meeting is real." Yuan Yuan put a bone he had just eaten on the table. "It starts at nine in the morning."
"Now that you're here, try something. Xiaoyun, go get the chopsticks." Wang Huiying said.
Gu Xiaoyun brought a bowl and chopsticks and handed them to Peng Xiaoling.
"Come, have a piece of pork chop." Wang Huiying said, and picked up a piece of pork chop and put it in Peng Xiaoling's bowl.
Peng Xiaoling took a bite and praised repeatedly: "Auntie, your cooking skills are comparable to those in restaurants. How did you make it? Next time I will come and learn from you and make it for my son."
"I'm an old woman, what new tricks can I come up with? I'll just stick to the old way, just adding some ginger and star anise." Wang Huiying said with a smile, "This is what Youshuang taught me last time."
"Aunt, you are so lucky. Both of your daughters-in-law are so capable."
Wang Huiying smiled and said, "You are also very capable."
"I don't know what this parent-teacher meeting is about. I can't read, so what kind of meeting can I attend?"
"There are so many people who can't read. It's just a meeting. The teacher talks and the parents listen."
"Aunt, Ruyi and Chunyan are not here, will you attend the parents' meeting tomorrow?"
"Youshuang is leaving."
Guan Youshuang nodded.
"Okay, then we can go together. You guys eat, auntie. I'll go back first." Peng Xiaoling put down her bowl and chopsticks.
"Eat some more."
"No, I have to go back and wash Xiaofan's clothes. He only wore two pairs of them and they are already so dirty."
Wang Huiying smiled and said, "Boys are all like that."

The next morning, Peng Xiaoling came to call Guan Youshuang.
Gu Xiaofan was extremely envious when he saw Yuanyuan wearing brand new clothes and shoes and carrying a beautiful schoolbag, especially the backpack with the Ultraman pattern.
He threw down his cloth bag and said, "Mom, I want a bag like this, too."
Peng Xiaoling quickly picked up the bag and said angrily, "Don't drop it. The pencil will break soon. This is sent by Yuanyuan's parents from another place. If you want it, go find your dad."
Yuanyuan said: "This is not sent by my parents, this is bought for me by my aunt."
Peng Xiaoling smiled awkwardly and said, "Your aunt is so nice to you."
"of course."
"Mom, I want a schoolbag like this, too. If you don't buy it for me, I won't go to school today."
Having said that, Gu Xiaofan sat down on the ground.
"Okay, I'll buy it for you, I'll buy it for you." Peng Xiaoling coaxed, "It's too late today, let's go to school first."
“When will you buy it?”
Peng Xiaoling was in a dilemma. She knew it was impossible to buy it for him, but she couldn't put down her pride in front of Guan Youshuang, so she gritted her teeth and said, "Let's do it this weekend, okay?"
Only then did Gu Xiaofan stand up.
"Sister-in-law, your method of education is wrong." Guan Youshuang whispered, "You can reward him with a schoolbag instead of giving it to him directly."
Peng Xiaoling said: "It's okay, I'll just comfort him."
"Aren't you deceiving the child?"
"You're just a kid, it's okay to lie a little. Come on, it's almost time, let's go to school."
Guan Youshuang didn't say anything else, and the two of them took their children and went to school together.
The two children walked in front and the two of them walked behind.
The school was not far away, it was right in the village, and they only had to go down a slope to get there.
Peng Xiaoling said: "I don't know what this parent-teacher conference is about. I've never heard of it before."
"It should be to tell parents about their children's situation at school."
"Hey, do you think we should announce the children's grades? Xiaofan and the others just took their final exams."
At this time, there was no policy that did not allow teachers to rank primary school students, so Guan Youshuang nodded and said, "I think so."
Peng Xiaoling sighed and said, "Then we are both really miserable."
"What do you mean?"
"Xiaofan and Yuanyuan both have very bad grades. Xiaofan is slightly better, but Yuanyuan is probably the worst. She was probably ranked last in the last midterm exam."
Guan Youshuang didn't say anything.
Yuanyuan has worked so hard recently, and she has made a systematic study plan for him, so she doesn't believe that Yuanyuan is still ranked last.
Peng Xiaoling really hated this woman. She acted so superior and she hardly responded when she spoke, like a mute.
Unlike Huang Chunyan, when two of them chat, it is so comfortable.
She just couldn't stand this kind of silence, so she added, "Your brother and sister-in-law are really amazing. They are obsessed with making money and don't even care about their kids."
Guan Youshuang smiled and said nothing.
"Especially your sister-in-law. You are so good to Yuanyuan, but she still secretly scolds you behind her back. If you ask me, you'd better not do this thankless job."
"Really? What did she scold me for?"
Peng Xiaoling became interested and added fuel to the fire, "They just think you got an advantage when the land was divided. Also, your parents-in-law treat you well, so they have some complaints. In short, they can curse you with a lot of words."
"She chose the land herself. How did I take advantage of her?"
"That's what I said. So you're in a thankless position. Let's go to the classroom first."
They walked into the classroom.
