Chapter 2 [002] Absence of Father
Generally, when schools hold parent-teacher meetings, the children go home on vacation. However, many families in Shanghai are dual-earner families. They are not off work, and the children are in the evening nursery at school, and the children happen to be doing homework there, waiting for their parents to pick them up after work.

So for this group of children, it is impossible for them to go home during the parent meeting. They can only attend the parent meeting with their parents at school.

Su Zixuan belongs to this category. Although his mother, Huang Xiaopei, is a middle school teacher, middle school ends later than elementary school, and Su Zixuan has to follow the other students to do half-hour late-day care.

In special cases, such as parent-teacher meetings, they stay in the classroom with their mother or play in school with other children.

This time is no exception. Standing outside the classroom of Class 1, Grade 7, Binhu Primary School is a 7- or 8-year-old girl with two pigtails and a uniform school uniform. Both cheeks are red, and eyebrows are thin and black like makeup. She is Su Qingchun's daughter Su Zixuan.

Because Su Qingchun is a doctor by profession, he is usually busy, so he rarely has time to worry about children's affairs. Su Qingchun has never participated in parent-teacher meetings since the kindergarten.

Since Huang Xiaopei is taking care of a first-year child this year, and is also very busy at school, he always pinpoints when holding parent-teacher meetings for Su Zixuan. This makes the competitive Su Zixuan very sad. Arrived, but in the end it all backfired.

Su Zixuan has mentioned this matter many times at home, Su Qingchun knows about it, and this is his first time attending a parent meeting, so this time he wants to set a good example for Su Zixuan, hurry up early, and strive to be the first to arrive at school .

He set off from the hospital at 1:40 p.m. According to his prediction, there should be no traffic on the road at noon, and he could reach Binhu Primary School in 1 minutes.He also made a special call to tell his daughter Su Zixuan that he would arrive at school at 40:[-], and promised that Su Zixuan would be the first one this time.

It is said that Su Zixuan who received a call at school was very excited when he heard that his father was going to arrive first. After lunch, he waited for his father at the door of the classroom. However, Su Qingchun overestimated the traffic conditions in downtown Shanghai. Lots of commuters.

Su Qingchun didn't rush to Su Zixuan's school until 2 o'clock, and when he got to the school gate, Su Qingchun saw a crowd of people at the gate. Only then did Su Qingchun know what a parent-teacher meeting was, and parking became a problem for a while.

As for Su Zixuan, from the time when the classroom was empty until the classroom was almost full, every time she saw an adult figure in the distance, she could say she stretched her neck and raised her heels, but every time she looked forward to someone else's parents.

At this time, she stood at the door of the classroom and kept staring at the phone and watch in her hand, and then looked at the other parents in the classroom who were almost there, feeling even more anxious.

So she dialed the third urging number again.

"Dad, why haven't you arrived yet?"

"I have arrived."

"You lied, you just said that."

"Dad just arrived. I didn't expect that there are so many cars in front of your school. I have been looking for a parking space for a long time, but now I have found a parking space. Just wait."

"Hurry up, other parents are here." Su Zixuan's face turned red, as if he was about to cry.

"I know, I know, I'll be there in two minutes."

After hanging up the phone, Su Qingchun looked at his phone and it was already 2:15.

But after parking the car and getting out of the car, Su Qingchun had another problem. He didn't know where his daughter's classroom was. Huang Xiaopei usually attended her daughter's parent-teacher meetings. Su Qingchun also came to the school during her daughter's primary school interview, but Huang Xiaopei brought his daughter when he signed up. He only knew that her daughter was in Class [-], Grade [-], but he really didn't know where it was.

There was no other way, he could only find the general direction of Class [-], Grade [-] by asking whenever he saw people along the way.

It was already 2:20 at this time, and there were only 10 minutes left before the parent-teacher meeting. Su Qingchun saw his daughter standing alone at the door, and hurried over.

"Xuanxuan!" Su Qingchun just spoke.

Su Zixuan's suppressed face suddenly burst into tears, and he accused: "Why did you come here!"

Su Zixuan's crying caught Su Qingchun off guard. Although Su Zixuan was a 7-year-old girl, she was not usually the kind of sentimental and sensitive girl. In his opinion, Su Zixuan was a rather mischievous girl who was careless, but he didn't expect that she would be so late. When it came to this matter, my daughter would care so much that she actually cried.

"I'm sorry, Xuanxuan, Dad didn't know that there was still a traffic jam at noon, and there are too few parking spaces in your school, and there are so many cars, I parked for a long time."

Su Qingchun quickly picked up her daughter and explained.

"You agreed to be the first one to come, but I've been waiting here for you for a long time. Tu Xixi's mother has arrived, but you haven't. Her mother always comes late."

"It's my father's fault, Xuanxuan, my father promises that next time, my father will definitely leave early."

"Okay?"

After Su Qingchun finished speaking, he wiped away Su Zixuan's tears with pity and said, "Xuanxuan, don't cry, isn't Xuanxuan talking about his eldest girl? You can't cry about this kind of thing, or let other students cry." If they see it, they will laugh at us."

"Then don't come so late next time."

"Father promised you that he will come early in the future."

"Be sure to come earlier than Tu Xixi's mother."

"Okay." Although Su Qingchun didn't know who the Tu Xixi her daughter was talking about, she still agreed.

"Mom is coming early, too."

"Well, Mommy is coming early too."

"You have to tell mom, every time I tell her, she is still late." Su Zixuan said with a curled lip.

"Okay, Dad must tell Mom to let her reflect on this matter and stop crying."

Su Qingchun saw that she was gradually calming down, so he put her down gently, and said, "Then let's go in, otherwise the classmates will hug you when they see you are so big, it will be even more ugly."

Su Zixuan nodded in agreement very readily, and boldly wiped away his tears, then cheerfully took Su Qingchun's hand and said, "Let's go."

When Su Qingchun went in and took a look, the classroom was filled with darkness, and there was almost nothing left to do. It was the first time he participated in such an activity and seeing so many people made Su Qingchun a little nervous. He seemed a little restrained and didn't know what to do.

"Xuanxuan, Dad is here for the first time, so I don't know how we should sit?" Su Qingchun asked in a low voice with some embarrassment.

"Hee hee, dad is so stupid, just sit in his own seat."

"Oh, where is your seat, Xuanxuan?"

Without further ado, Su Zixuan directly dragged Su Qingchun to the seat in the third row of the second group and sat down.

"Are you sitting here?"

"Yes!"

Su Qingchun embarrassingly picked up Su Zixuan and sat down in the small seat with difficulty. Then Su Qingchun looked around and found that there were still many parents who brought their children to the parent-teacher meeting.
