I Had a Home In 1982

   Chapter 333 332. Commendation Conference (I wish everyone health and happiness)

  The red soup, the fat meat, the golden **** and the white rice are the same as the Chinese New Year for students.

   Even if the school manages meals, there are very few good meals like this. What they eat is so satisfying.

  Wang Yi came over to supervise Wang Zhuangyuan's homework.

   After Wang Zhuangyuan finished writing two pages, he allowed the young man to go to dinner.

   But he wasn't the last one to cook, and a little girl came at the end.

  Wang Yi fixed his eyes and saw that it was Da Fenger, the eldest daughter who was returning to school.

   Da Fenger is coming to the first grade. It is estimated that because she is the only foreigner in the whole school, she was not gregarious on the first day of school.

   After hitting her, her hand swayed, and the meat and meatballs fell to the ground. Seeing this, she quickly took out a plastic bag from her pocket and packed it.

  Wang Yi said: "Let Teacher Leo give you a rinse before eating."

   Da Feng'er shuddered when she saw him, and said timidly, "It doesn't matter, principal, I'll just go home and let my grandfather rush it."

   She picked up her rice bowl and ran away.

  Wang Yi shook his head and asked Wang Zhuangyuan, "Do I eat people?"

   Wang Zhuangyuan said: "No, Mr. Wang, you are the best, really, amiable, handsome, both civil and military, shrewd in righteousness and wealth, seeing all directions, listening to all directions, not afraid of danger, indomitable..."

   "Stop, stop, what are these things?" Wang Yi scolded and slapped him on the back of the head.

   Stop shouting, this kid will say all the idioms he knows that can be used to praise people.

   Wang Zhuangyuan laughed and went to cook.

  Wang Yi told him: "Eat honestly, go back to sleep honestly, and then I will make you stay in court until one o'clock tomorrow, and no one has finished eating the good food, so you won't have to eat!"

   "Absolutely not messing around." Wang Zhuangyuan hurriedly promised.

  After lunch, the students went home for their lunch break.

   There is still a lunch break in September, and the lunch break will not be officially cancelled until October 1st.

  Wang Yi seized this time period and took out the certificate.

   This thing was very rare in 1982, and only schools went to educational units to get distribution.

  Education units in the county cannot print them themselves, and they have to obtain them from the province, so they are more precious. Each school has a limited number of copies. Generally, a primary school class has only three copies, one for each of the first, second, and third students.

   There will be more schools at the beginning of junior high school. For example, outstanding Communist Youth League members, outstanding Young Pioneers cadres, etc. will also have a certificate of merit.

   But in 22 years, this thing is worthless. The most direct manifestation is the kindergarten. Every child in the kindergarten can get at least one certificate of merit...

  Wang Yi directly wholesales a bunch of them here.

   Then he called the teachers to the office of the brigade committee at noon, ready to start adding certificates against the transcripts.

  The performance of the students is very good, so on average they have to have one per person.

  The top ten students in each class will be given one according to their grades, and there are also titles such as "Best Progress Award", "Best Service Award", "Teacher's Helper" and so on.

   In this regard, we need to work together and let teachers think together.

   He came into the office with a stack of certificates of merit, and Xu Heng joked with him: "Mr. Wang, let's just take up this office and use it as our teacher's office - I'm sloppy!"

"Teachers must have a teacher's demeanor, Mr. Xu, you can't use foul language at will, and you can't use the military's style - hey!" Zhu Zhenxue was about to persuade Xu Heng to change his style, but he was shocked when he entered the office. Shout out.

   They all saw the four-speaker tape recorder on Wang Xianghong's desk.

  Recorders are not uncommon these days, but four-speaker recorders are indeed rare these days. Nowadays, most of the recorders in counties and towns have one big speaker, just like a cyclops.

  The overall popular recorder in the city is still the dual speaker recorder.

   It will take another two years, as the domestic radio factory thoroughly understands the technology of the recorder and sets up the production line, and then this four-speaker recorder will become popular.

   At that time, fashionable young people wearing toad mirrors, flared pants, black leather shoes, and tape recorders will sweep the streets of the city.

   At that time, the tape recorder will become a street bombing artifact.

   Interestingly, it's young men who are bombing the streets now, and they dance disco.

   After 40 years, the young women of this era will grow old, and then go out to bomb the street with a new player, and they will dance in the square.

  Xu Heng, Sun Zhengnan, and Qiu Weishui happily ran over to surround the tape recorder.

  Yang Wenrong was also very curious, but she was too embarrassed to join in the fun, so she stretched her neck and watched.

   Qiu Weishui likes the recorder very much, because the recorder can play a song repeatedly, which is a good tool for learning songs.

  The art troupe does not lack tape recorders, but her family lacks them.

   Ye Changan once wanted to send her a tape recorder, but she refused. She was afraid of being told that her family was separated from the masses and specialised.

  The function of the tape recorder is not bad, Qiu Weishui glanced at Wang Yi, Wang Yi nodded and said, "You can play around with it."

   Hearing this, Qiu Weishui immediately took out the tape and looked at it, and said with a smile, "It's all revolutionary songs, let's have a meeting while listening to the songs?"

  Yang Wenrong couldn't help but nodded in agreement.

  Wang Yi said to her: "Mr. Xiao Yang, the college entrance examination will officially take the English test next year, and then I will teach you and Daguo to learn English."

"There is no unique trick to learning English, it is to read and write more, so I will find someone to buy some English tapes and textbooks from City University later. You can take the tape recorder back at night to listen to the English tape, and read the English words and sentence."

   Yang Wenrong asked subconsciously after hearing this: "Ah? Is this okay? Is this a specialization?"

   Wang Yi smiled and said, "What specialization? Besides, if you are going to take the college entrance examination next year, you are a special talent in our team."

  Yang Wenrong cheered and was a little embarrassed, and asked, "Can this work? Is this recorder owned by the team?"

   "No, it belongs to our school." Wang Yi said, "So as the principal, I have the qualifications to arrange the use."

  Xu Heng rubbed his arms and laughed: "Principal, that I also want to learn foreign languages."

  Wang Yi said: "You want to learn a foreign language? I don't even bother to break your mind!"

   "In this way, you can listen to songs when you don't have class, and you have to play a movie at night to let Teacher Xiao Yang learn English."

   He added: "After the awards ceremony this afternoon, I will lead the students to officially make a radio. At that time, each of you will be equipped with a radio, just like listening to music on the radio, and you can also listen to the news broadcast."

   Hearing this, Zhu Zhenxue was quite surprised: "You want to lead the students to make a radio? Principal, you, you can do this too?"

  Yang Wenrong didn't say anything here.

   She was already numb.

Wang Yi said: "I didn't build a radio from scratch and rub it out with my bare hands. I asked someone to buy the accessories for the radio, and I also asked Uncle Gao to make the shell of the radio. Let's just assemble the radio accessories. It's not difficult. ."

   was originally quite difficult, and some electronic accessories also required electric welding.

  No one on Tianya Island can do electric welding, so Wang Yi simply changed it.

   Changed it to let Qiu Danian collect some old-style large-scale radios, and then disassembled the main board, speakers, power switches, frequency control boards, sound control keys, wires and other components.

   This way most of the work is just wiring and assembly, and only a few jobs require welding.

  Wang Yi bought a small electric welding pen, just like a screwdriver, he can finally weld the key parts to the students.

   This matter will be resolved in the afternoon, so Wang Yi did not say much. He asked Qiu Weishui to play a song, and he took out the certificate and put it on the table to signal everyone to come and fill out the certificate for the students in his class.

   Yang Wenrong was not shocked this time.

   The nerves are numb.

   She picked up the certificate with slippery tentacles and asked, "Mr. Wang, this thing is one for each person?"

  Wang Yi said: "Yes, one per person, worthless things, only 15 cents a piece."

   Zhu Zhenxue said with a wry smile, "You know someone in a printing factory?"

  Wang Yi said: "I don't know, but I have friends who know me. I asked someone to buy a batch. The county gave too little, and only three cards were given per class. What's enough?"

  Zhu Zhenxue said: "Three is enough, what is the function of the certificate? It is a certificate of award in the student days, which is used to express a recognition and praise for the outstanding achievements of individual students."

   "This allows students with poor grades to have a direction and goal, have role models and follow them, and play a leading role."

   He looked at the stack of certificates on the table and shook his head: "If you have one certificate per person like this, the certificate will be meaningless."

  Wang Yi also shook his head: "Hey, I don't agree with this."

   "I wish you are right, teacher. The certificate of merit is a means of evaluating and motivating students, and it expresses recognition and praise for individual students."

   "But in a school, are only the top three students worthy of recognition and praise? What about those students who have made progress? What about those students who are not very smart but study hard?"

   "Also, you're right. To give a student a certificate is to let other students use him as a role model. That's right."

"But in a school, can only students with excellent grades be role models? Students who are brave in doing justice, students who love to work, students who unite with their classmates, etc. There are many students who have outstanding characteristics outside of their studies, and they should not be role models. Shouldn't the other students be studying?"

   Qiu Weishui hurriedly said: "Mr. Wang is right. When I was in school, my brain was not following, and my studies were not very good, but - let Teacher Wang speak."

   She thought about it, but went on.

  Wang Yi said: "I agree with Teacher Zhu's opinion. Students take learning as their vocation. If students study well, they should be role models and should be rewarded."

   "There is no problem with this logic, but this logic cannot be reversed. It cannot be said that students who study well should be role models and be rewarded as a matter of course."

   "Good students should be role models, good students should be rewarded, and good students can't use grades as the only measure, only academic performance is a very important standard."

   "As far as individual students are concerned, as long as everyone studies hard and works hard to be a good student, they should all be role models."

   "Students who do not study well should take the achievements of students who study well as an example, and students who do not love labor should also take students who love labor as an example."

   "Confucius, a great educator two thousand years ago, said that there are different types of teaching, and we should teach students according to their aptitude. We must also fully tap the shining points of individual students, affirm them, encourage them, and help them build up their self-confidence."

   Having said this, Wang Yi fell into his memories: "I am especially grateful to a class teacher in my middle school days. At that time, my parents were gone, and I was very withdrawn. He often praised me and affirmed me - I am very grateful to him!"

  Yang Wenrong agreed with him and said, "No wonder Mr. Wang can reshape the students in one semester. It turns out that you have advanced teaching concepts, and I want to learn from you!"

  Zhu Zhenxue said: "Mr. Wang's words are very reasonable. As teachers of the people, we should help students to show their shining points and let them become useful talents in society."

Sun Zhengnan said: "When I was in the army, the head of the army said that the army does not train soldiers to make meritorious deeds and be heroes, as long as every soldier can defend the people and the motherland. If you make a contribution, the training of the troops will be successful."

   Xu Heng said: "The meaning of the class assistant is that in the end not every student can be admitted to the university, but if they can all be useful to the society, then our educational work will be successful."

  Sun Zhengnan nodded.

   All the teachers expressed their thoughts.

   Finally, it is the turn of Qiuwei River.

   Teacher Xiaoqiu calmly showed a bright smile, applauded and said, "Everyone said very well, you have spoken my heart!"

   Everyone applauded.

  Wang Yi said: "OK, come on Dawarich, let's start discussing the shining points of their students one by one, we have to dig deep and confirm their Smecta."

   He doesn't understand education, but he thinks that for elementary school students, encouraging education is a must.

   Of course, the degree of 'encouragement' needs to be adjusted. Students can't be arrogant, but let them be confident.

  Confidence is a very important psychological or personality.

  The life of a person is too difficult, and there are too many difficulties when you grow up and step into the society, and self-confidence is a magic weapon to face and overcome difficulties.

  Wang Yi hopes that the children under him will be able to face life positively and solve problems, whether they go to work as cadres or return to the outer islands to continue working as fishermen.

   Don't be like yourself, you can't face the pressure of life for 22 years, you can only escape to 82 years.

   After a busy afternoon, I finally wrote the award certificate.

  Wang Yi said while packing up the certificate: "By the way, I think a suggestion from Teacher Xu just now is very good."

   "Clean up this brigade committee office, our school will use it as an office, get together with the party secretary and clerks, and work together like this."

   The other teachers nodded.

this is a good idea.

   Yang Wenrong asked worriedly: "Can the Party Secretary agree?"

  Wang Yi said domineeringly: "I'm not asking for his opinion, I'm giving him a notice!"

   He said to Qiu Weishui, "Let's go to the ceremony first and then the soldiers. I'll go to see it first and show it with love and reason. If he doesn't agree, then..."

   "Just beat him?" Xu Heng chuckled.

  Wang Yi said: "Wrong, it was Mr. Xiaoqiu who went up to act like a spoiled brat with him. He must have been embarrassed to refuse at that time."

   As he spoke, he looked at the office of the brigade committee.

  The area is not small, there are four or five houses, fifty or sixty square meters.

  On weekdays, there are two desks in this office mainly by the south windows. They are the desks of Wang Xianghong and Wang Dongxi.

   And on the north side is the big table, which is used to hold member representatives and party member meetings.

  Wang Yi decided to occupy this table.

  Wang Xianghong walked around with his hands behind his back, he was quite happy, humming 'the sun rises in the east red'.

   Then he went to the door of the office and saw that several teachers were staring at him.

   This made him blushing: "Cough, what are you doing? What's the matter with you? Why are you all here?"

  Wang Yi said: "Secretary, I represent all the staff of our Tianya Primary School..."

  Wang Xianghong straightened his back when he heard this.

  Thanks to myself.

   "I have a request to you and the brigade committee." Wang Yi said, "That table is to be used by our teachers."

   Wang Xianghong blinked: "Ah? Ah! No, then, that table is usually used for commune representatives and party members to hold meetings. If you use it, then..."

   "Then commune representatives and party members will go to the classroom for a meeting." Wang Yi said, "Secretary, think about it, every meeting for commune representatives and party members is at night, because they have to work during the day, right?"

   "The classroom is not used at night. It's empty. You can let the big guy sit down and you stand behind the teaching desk on the podium. Wouldn't it be the same for the big guy to hold a meeting?"

  Wang Xianghong said: "This is not good, it makes people feel like I have the style of a patriarch."

   "This is not good, this is not good." He said and shook his head.

  Wang Yi shook his head at Qiu Weishui.

   Qiu Weishui bit his head and started acting like a spoiled child according to his previous instructions, and then came back: No, I can't do this job.

   is not good!

  Wang Yi shook his head inwardly, I had to do it myself after all the **** was done.

   He put his arms around Wang Xianghong and shook his arm: "Zhishu, Zhishu, we can't do anything about it, you can do it..."

   "I'm grass!" Wang Xianghong pushed him away and rolled up his sleeves and quickly scratched the prickly heat on his arm.

   "But I don't use the classroom as a conference room. Originally, the foreign team said that I have a patriarchal style, and I can't live it up."

   "In this way, we will use this desk in turn. You can't work here all day long, can you? We will inform you in advance of the meeting, and you can just leave the desk when the time comes."

  Wang Yi thought this was a good idea, so Shuang Fang said so.

   At this time, the students and their parents also started to come to the school sporadically.

   The people who came were either old people or women, and the fathers had all gone to work and were unable to attend the first parent-teacher meeting.

  The women asked him one after another: "Mr. Wang, is what the baby said when she came home? Is the Chinese and mathematics of the fifth grade in our school the first in the commune?"

   "Not only the first place in the whole commune, but also the first place in all the communes in our Haifu County! The first grade and the second grade also have the second place in the county! Isn't Mr. Wang?"

  Wang Yi smiled and said, "Yes, this is all true, if you don't believe me, ask the secretary."

   Fengya asked: "Zhishu, is it true? Why do you keep scratching your arms?"

   "I'm allergic." Wang Xianghong said, "It's true. We did well in our school exams. When I went to the commune, even the leaders of our commune knew about it."

   He said this with a smile on his face.

   He held back this secret for a long time, and it was really uncomfortable.

   Now that he can finally say it, he immediately grabbed the pipe rod and went out to explain his experience when he went to the commune vividly:

   "Don't you believe it? Haha, I didn't believe it at the time, let alone us, and the leaders of the commune didn't believe it either. Director Zhao thought I was crazy after seeing the transcript, and called the county education bureau on the spot..."

   "The county is also very surprised. Comrade Zhuang said that the Education Bureau also suspected that we had stolen the test papers, which made him very angry, and went with the leaders of the Armed Forces to slap the leaders of the Education Bureau!"

  Xu Heng explained to the other parents with a smile: "After the unified examination papers were printed, comrades from the Public Security Bureau and militiamen from the Armed Forces Department guarded them together."

  Wang Yi led the students to organize the meeting place. This time it was a general meeting of teachers and students and a parent meeting. We couldn't all stand. We had to bring a bench and sit there and listen to his speech.

   There are several tables side by side on the podium, where teachers are to sit, and prize boxes are also placed here.

  The students were very interested in the prizes, but many of them estimated their grades, and finally returned to their seats gloomily:

   definitely has nothing to do with me!

   People like Wang Zhuangyuan and Wang Kai are still scratching their butts in anxiety.

   They have to be beaten after every parent-teacher meeting, and their buttocks are so calloused that their calluses itch before every parent-teacher meeting.

   Not only the members of Tianya Island, but also the people from the production team of Jinlan Island next door.

   Da Fenger, the eldest daughter who returned to school, is now in the first grade of elementary school, and her grandfather picks her up by shaking the oars.

   So at noon, she told her grandfather who came to pick her up, and her grandfather came to hold a parent-teacher conference for her.

   The old man felt a little uncomfortable when he saw that his granddaughter was wearing a washed white red singlet and old coarse cloth pants, while the students around were wearing beautiful and uniform short-sleeved shorts and green military uniforms.

self-abasement.

   But when he touched the thick autumn clothes in his arms, he was satisfied again.

   Teacher Wang's students are just enjoying.

  On the first day of school, such a good finished garment was handed out. I can't think of it. This outfit is also very good. The whole team does not have such a good outfit!

  Yang Wenrong came over to greet their grandfather and grandson to take their seats, only to hear the little girl's stomach gurgling.

   She asked in surprise: "Da Feng'er, aren't you full at noon?"

   The little girl lowered her head.

   This gesture was familiar to her, and she vaguely saw herself when she was in school.

   This is an act of guilt and cowardice.

   So she looked at Huixue's father, Huixue's father smiled and said: "Half of the baby is eaten, and the rest, the rest, pack up and go back to the younger brother and sister for a bite at night."

   Yang Wenrong asked: "You let her save it?"

   Huixue’s father is an honest man, and his family is honest.

He quickly waved his hand and said, "No, no, baby saves it for me to eat, where can I eat this good thing? I didn't eat it, and she has to bring it back to her younger brother and sister to eat. Really, ask her, my family People don't lie."

The little girl nodded, lowered her head and said in a low voice, "Mr. Yang, my younger siblings haven't eaten braised pork and croquettes yet, they don't even know there is such a thing, and I don't know either, I just found out today. ."

   Yang Wenrong knew this was the truth.

   Because she hadn't eaten before she came to Tianya Island!

  The big girl in her twenties has never eaten braised pork or croquettes once!

   In this way, she sighed with empathy, and said, "Don't Teacher Wang make you full? If you keep a little bit, then go fight a little bit more, anyway, you'll be full."

   Back to school, Dad waved his hand quickly: "That can't be that can't, Mr. Wang takes care of my house and let the baby come over to study, we can't know what's good and bad, even eat and take it."

   "Da Fenger asked for the share given by Teacher Leo, and saved half of it for herself..."

   "Da Fenger, did you deliberately drop the meat and meatballs on the ground at noon?" asked Wang Zhuangyuan, who passed by with a stool next to him.

   The little girl nodded.

   Wang Zhuangyuan put down the stool and said, "Don't be like this in the future. It's not good to be hungry. I have suffered this crime, I know it."

"In this way, I eat a lot of food, and I miss a lot of meals from the teacher on weekdays. Then I will share a part of it with you in the future. You can take what I gave you back to your younger brothers and sisters to eat, and you can eat your own meals by yourself. Come down."

   Yang Wenrong laughed after hearing this, and said, "Is Wang Zhuangyuan so kind?"

   Wang Zhuangyuan patted his chest proudly and said, "I'm just like Mr. Wang, I'm showing loyalty!"

   But this cannot be arranged like this. It is a school policy not to allow students to bring meals to their homes.

   So even if students have to go home to take a nap after lunch, they still have to eat lunch at school and cannot take it home to eat.

  Yang Wenrong understood the rationale of this arrangement, so she went to the podium to talk to Wang Yi about it.

  Wang Yi also remembered the little girl who dropped the meatballs and meat on the ground at noon, and then picked them up and put them in the bag.

He said: "This child is very similar to you, Wenwen is quiet but very smart. She should have deliberately waited for me to go to the big stove before picking up the meal, and deliberately dropped some of the food on the ground and didn't eat it, so she had a reason to bring it home. went."

   Considering that the little girl only ordered one meal and did not eat hard while bringing it home, it seems that her character is still good, or the little girl is honest.

   So he said to Yang Wenrong, "Tell her, come early before school and go home later after school, and let her go to Dazao to help her during these two periods."

   "This is called a work-study program. Well, you ask the colander to set aside some meals for her as compensation, and let her take it home. You should still have enough food in the morning and at noon, and don't bring it home."

  Yang Wenrong said: "Okay."

   In her opinion, this was the best arrangement, so she went to tell her grandfather and grandson.

   His father was very happy when he went back to school, but he was not willing to refuse. He could only say, "How embarrassing this is, thank you teacher".

  Students and parents are here.

  Wang Yi snapped his fingers to Sun Zhengnan.

  Sun Zhengnan blew his whistle first, then raised his tin horn and shouted, "Quiet, all quiet! Everyone has it, sit down!"

  Students and parents sat down in unison on the playground.

  Wang Yi took the tin horn and coughed twice, picked up the teacup and took a sip, first imitating the attitude of the leaders when the school started in the autumn, and then said:

"Dear teachers, classmates, and parents, in this season of cool autumn breeze and fragrance of red osmanthus, we have ushered in a new semester, and we have also welcomed new students. Let us first greet with warm applause. They welcome it!"

   "Clap clap clap!"

   "Teacher's Day is just a few days away. On behalf of the school and the production team, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to all the hard-working staff."

   "Clap clap!" X2.

   "Autumn always belongs to those who work hard. In the past semester, with the joint efforts of all teachers and students, our school has achieved many gratifying results..."

   The applause continued.

  Wang Xianghong led Wang Dongxi to listen to it at the gate of the brigade committee, and he was full of praise: "Mr. Wang's speech is of a high level, as soon as you listen to it, you will be literate!"

  Wang Yi spoke eloquently:

   "...In the past semester, our teachers taught the students with the spirit of 'seeing the end from a different starting point, and the starting point from the same end'. The students studied very hard last semester, made great progress, and achieved good grades."

   "From grade one to grade five, the average score in Chinese and mathematics is the first place in all primary schools in the county's communes and so on!"

  Xu Heng lowered his head and reminded him in a low voice: "Principal, there is still no mention of the grades in the ideology and morality class."

  Wang Yi pretended to drink water and reminded him in a low voice: "I already mentioned it, 'Wait'."

  Sun Zhengnan glared at him: "Mr. Wang is saving face for you."

  Xu Heng smirked.

   In fact, he didn't understand where he lost.

  Isn’t it good to teach the ideology and morality class by yourself? Except for not trying to write Chinese and math questions for the students like Mr. Wang at the end, the others are not different!

  Wang Yi continued: "Then today we will hold a parent meeting and an achievement commendation meeting here, two tasks."

   "The first is to ask the parents to make persistent efforts and cooperate with our school to make the students' grades better, so that they can study hard in the future, and try their best to be admitted to technical secondary schools and high schools."

"The second is to recognize the achievements of the students, and encourage them to make persistent efforts in the next new semester and new school year, and strive for the first place in the county in the average score of a general subject in the new year's examination this year, and we will kill pigs and chickens too much. year!"

"OK?"

  Students, male or female, big or small, shouted, "Okay!"

   A group of big fat pigs in the pigsty in the corner of the playground was disturbed by the noise. They hummed a few times and got up and went around in circles, and continued to sleep in the shade in another place.

  The joys and sorrows of pigs and people are not the same.

  Wang Yi said: "In this way, everyone understands the theme of this meeting. The first task has been completed, and now the second task will begin."

"Awards ceremony!"

   "Well, in the past semester, all the teachers and students of our school adhered to the school-running idea of ​​'everyone develops and everyone becomes a talent', and found a large number of talents among all students, and now we will commend them for this."

   "The following students who read their names are invited to come on stage to receive their certificates and prizes."

   "The first is the Model Worker Award. In the past semester, these students have loved labor, endured hardships and stand hard work, and in the spirit of enduring hardships first and enjoying pleasures later, they have greatly stimulated the enthusiasm of the whole school to work."

   "That Wang Zhuangyuan, Wang Kai, Wang Xinmi..."

   Wang Zhuangyuan, who was secretly wiping his beloved little top, was startled when he heard Wang Yinian's name.

   He looked forward in surprise and asked, "Dami, did Teacher Wang ask us to stand?"

  Wang Xinmi was overjoyed: "No, no, I'm going up to receive the certificate and prize!"

   The names were still being pronounced, and some students began to take the stage happily and cheering. On the stage, Yang Wenrong and the others all took out the certificates and prizes of the students in their classes.

   Wang Zhuangyuan was stunned.

   Isn't this routine?

  Have a parent-teacher conference - shouldn't I have to stand up to be called and criticized and then go home and get my dad's leash?

  How come the certificates and prizes? !

   Is it a scam?
