Chapter 37: Naive, brother
After a simple dinner, the couple went to a nearby supermarket and went shopping together.

Since Zhao Huan entered junior high school and didn't go home for dinner at night, the two had nearly two hours of free time after dinner.

For such a short two hours, both Zhao Hongming and his wife felt that it was very precious.

It has been more than ten years since Zhao Huan was born, and the two of them seem to have never had their own time.

Especially Qin Yali, who circled around Zhao Huan every day.

Since Zhao Huan was born, Qin Yali has been a child except for work.

It can be said that the past ten years have been devoted to Zhao Huan.

Now, from Monday to Thursday, there are two hours of free time every day, which Qin Yali cherishes very much.

Basically, as long as Zhao Hongming doesn't go to work in the hotel, she will drag her husband out for a stroll, as if to make up for the wasted time.

Although Zhao Hongming felt that shopping was boring, his wife insisted, so he let her go.

The two bought some fruits and cakes in the supermarket. Qin Yali also wanted to buy some health care products for Zhao Huan at the pharmacy, but Zhao Hongming stopped them.

The medicine is three-point poisonous. Generally speaking, the efficacy of this health care product is not as good as advertised. It is all due to the psychological effect of the purchaser.

As well as eating health products, it is better to eat more vegetables, fruits and meat.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Zhao Hongming chose to pick up Zhao Huan by electric bike.

The recent weather is also good, not so cold, riding an electric bike is much faster than driving.

In Jiangcheng, there is no sign of the traffic police checking the people on the electric vehicles. Many parents choose to pick up their children by bicycle.

When Zhao Hongming arrived at the gate of Qixing Middle School, many parents had already arrived, and both sides of the road were full of people.

I randomly found a place with relatively few people and stood there, listening to the parents around me discussing their children's studies, and waiting for their children to leave school.

It's been almost a month since school started, and I heard from the parents around me that there will be a monthly exam at the end of the month.

Zhao Hongming couldn't help leaning over and asked, "Isn't the exam not allowed now?"

"It's okay if you don't take the exam! You don't usually take the exam, and you don't know what your study situation is. When you find out that you can't study at the end of the semester, it will be too late."

"That's right, it's all caused by those people on the Internet. Some parents are psychologically weak. The teacher posted a grade ranking in the class group, saying that it hurt the self-esteem of his children. Look, now the higher authorities simply let the school not Exam.

He will not look for his own reasons first, and have to push the responsibility to the school and teachers. "

A parent just said that, and the people next to him nodded in agreement.

Aren't these current parents also from the 80s?

At that time, the students, not to mention just the teacher handing out their grades, were beaten up by the teacher, and the parents had to cooperate with the teacher to beat up the students again when they returned home.

It can't work now, the students are all the treasures in the palms of the parents, and they are afraid of melting if they hold them in their mouths. How can they be willing to let the children suffer even a little bit!

Including Zhao Hongming himself, it's okay if you scold the child, if the teacher is really good at it, he will go to the school to find that teacher.

But like the situation that the parent next to him said, he also very much agrees. It can't hurt the interests of the majority of people because of the demands of a small group of people.

"The first exam in junior high school is very important. If a child passes the exam for the first time, his self-confidence will come out, and he will work hard in everything in the future. We must encourage the child well when we go home."

Another parent told the people around him that he seemed to have a lot of experience.

Zhao Hongming nodded secretly.

It is said that everything is difficult at the beginning, if the beginning is not difficult, it will be easier than the follow-up!
This parent's words resonated with other parents around him.

Everyone is talking about the children's learning problems.

"Have you ever invited the teacher to dinner?"

Suddenly, a parent asked in a low voice.

The discussion fell silent, and the faces of the surrounding parents showed strange expressions.

Zhao Hongming secretly observed it, showing various expressions of curiosity and calmness.

"Ahem, the child is about to come out, I'll go to the gate first." One of the parents raised his hand to check the time before leaving the place.

"Yes, yes! I'm leaving too."

One person left, and several other parents also went to the door and dispersed.

"Hmph, I'm guilty of being a thief."

The 'culprit' who caused this situation spat low.

Zhao Hongming couldn't help but take a deep look at the parent.

Seeing that Zhao Hongming hadn't left, Li Wei couldn't help being very curious, and asked, "Did your family invite you?"

"No! Up to now, I'm not even sure who the class teacher is? Who should I invite to eat!" Zhao Hongming laughed.

He was telling the truth. After Zhao Huan entered Qixing, the only teacher he had ever met was an English teacher. He didn't know who Zhao Huan's class teacher was.

"Oh," Li Wei was a little disappointed, and he continued: "I heard that the teachers in Qixing's school are very snobbish. If you want your child to get the teacher's attention, you have to treat the teacher to dinner or give gifts .”

Zhao Hongming didn't answer, but just listened silently.

Seeing that Zhao Hongming did not leave, but listened more attentively, Li Wei also came to chat, "I heard from my daughter that the parents of several students in her class often have contacts with the class teacher, shopping, eating and drinking together all day long."

"Maybe, he and the head teacher knew each other before?" Zhao Hongming didn't hold back, and interjected.

"You are so naive, brother." Li Wei patted Zhao Hongming on the shoulder, took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, and handed one to Zhao Hongming.

Zhao Hongming took the cigarette and lit it, but there was a slight ripple in his heart.

His wife is a teacher, so he knows a lot about this industry.

Ever since he met Qin Yali, he had never seen her accept a meal invitation from any student's parents, nor had she accepted any gifts.

Of course, except for the greeting cards sent by students on Teacher's Day.

Usually, Qin Yali also whispered in Zhao Hongming's ear, saying that from top to bottom, all levels are very strict about the profession of teachers, and the principal of her school, as well as the general assembly, are talking about this issue.

Teachers will also protect themselves, and will not discredit their teaching career because of some treats or gifts.

But, is this really the case here at Qixing?
Seeing Zhao Hongming's silence, Li Wei thought that he had accepted his statement, and then told some things he knew vividly.

In his description, since elementary school, he has given gifts to his daughter's class teacher, which are some local specialty fruits in Jiangcheng. It doesn't cost much, mainly because he wants to.

Of course, some teachers don't accept it either.

Li Wei didn't care so much, he would give away what he accepted, and he called and told him what he didn't accept. At least he left a good impression in the teacher's heart.

Zhao Hongming kept listening to Li Wei muttering beside him until it was time to leave school.
