“Mom and Sister went to the school? What is the matter, is there a Parent-Teacher Conference?” It was strange to hold a Parent-Teacher Conference at this time of the year. She thought that it would be usually be held after the mid-term examination.
“Not sure, there’s probably some matter.” When he said this, Qiao Dongliang looked happy.
Qiao Nan raised her eyebrows; given the expression of her father, perhaps Qiao Zijin had done a good thing.
“They say it’s regarding Zijin’s partic.i.p.ation in the essay compet.i.tion. It’s probably a good matter.” Qiao Dongliang’s smile deepened. “Qiao Nan, your sister has made great improvements recently. If possible, Dad will definitely try to get you into The High School Affiliated to Renmin University of China as well. Thereafter, Dad will wait for the day when both of you become successful.”
So what if he did not have a son, the daughters he raised were more successful than the sons of others. That was better than anything else.
“Essay compet.i.tion?” Hearing these two words, Qiao Nan smiled with deep thoughts.
If the school invited the parent because Qiao Zijin scored well in the mid-term exam, then undoubtedly, she would be praised during the meeting.
However, if it was pertaining to the essay compet.i.tion, unless she guessed it wrong, it was definitely not a good thing that her mother had been invited to the school.
Qiao Zijin’s good performance worked like a miracle pill for her mother – it was more nutritious than the supplement that her mother took.
Her mother must have fought for the right to make the trip to the school without her father. “Did Mom say she will go by herself? Dad, you’re not going?” If her father was going, it would be interesting.
“It’s okay, there will be other opportunities in future.” Qiao Dongliang shook his head as if he could not help it but his mood was not sour.
When the school called and requested Qiao Zijin’s parents to make the trip, Qiao Dongliang initially wanted to send Qiao Zijin to the school and also to find out why they made the request.
But Ding Jiayi said it first, she chided Qiao Dongliang straight, “Old Qiao, we agreed before that I will solely take care of Zijin’s matters, and you will handle Qiao Nan’s matters. Zijin performed well, I will be the one making this trip. If you want to go, wait for Qiao Nan’s turn.”
Since Ding Jiayi already said so, Qiao Dongliang had nothing else to say.
The elder daughter had done well and this was the first trip to the school to receive some commendation. He regretted that he was unable to be there.
Fortunately, the younger daughter’s performance had always been good. The chances of the younger daughter being praised would be higher than that that of the elder daughter. With this thought, Qiao Dongliang did not feel so bad anymore. “Is there a Parent-Teacher Conference for your school?”
“Teacher Chen said that there would be one after the final term exams.”
“Good, I will attend your Parent-Teacher Conference.”
“Okay.” Qiao Nan was laughing secretly. She already knew that it was her mother who grabbed the chance to make the trip to Qiao Zijin’s school. She hoped that her mother could still smile when she was on the way back.
Ding Jiayi sent Qiao Zijin to the school early, so it was not particularly late when she came home. However, when she was back, her face was all black. “Qiao Nan, tell me, why are you so lazy?”
