A foreign city, dear you

Ye Lian laughed: "You are also making trouble with your dad. Mom is just writing for fun. What's the point of talking about writers and late bloomers?"

"Mom, I am Alexander's son if you do this."

"why?"

"Look, your writing is so good. If I don't learn Chinese well and my grades are not good enough, people will say that your good genes are wasted on me."

"Haha!" Ye Lian laughed: "Silly son, you think too much. You are not that serious. Didn't you rank seventh in Chinese in the mid-term exam? However, pressure is not a bad thing. Pressure can turn into motivation and help you take off. Isn't it a good thing to easily get into the top class? Haha..."

……

Laughing aside, making noise aside, it is true that Ye Lian's success in writing this time has rekindled her interest in writing...

*************************

Ye Lian called Cao Xueqin and asked him to go home early today as he had to attend a parent-teacher meeting at school in the evening.

Time flies so fast, and the spring semester is coming to an end.

The final exams for Anbao Middle School are over. There will be a parent-teacher meeting tonight and report cards will be distributed.

Originally, Ye Lian could have attended the parent-teacher meeting, and she also wanted to attend it.

How did Cao Lanshan do in the exam? Will she be able to enter the elite class next semester? She wanted to know as soon as possible.

But she couldn't go because her strange illness had recurred since yesterday.

Ever since the first time she suffered from that strange disease, Ye Lian would suffer from it every six months or a year for nearly ten years.

Without any warning or reason, there was a small discomfort in the waist, back or hip. Ye Lian didn't notice it at first, but slowly, the discomfort would increase, become persistent, and then turn into pain, and the area of ​​pain would increase.

Ye Lian has already figured out a very effective experience in her fight against this strange disease. As soon as she notices the discomfort coming, she immediately applies hot compress to keep warm.

Applying hot compress is not as stupid or troublesome as the first time.

The first time Ye Lian had an attack, Cao Xueqin filled a saline bottle with boiling water, wrapped it in a towel, and placed it on Ye Lian's painful area, slowly rolling it. This was very troublesome and inconvenient.

Later, Cao Xueqin bought some hot packs at home. Whenever Ye Lian had an attack, he would put one on her. It was convenient and long-lasting, and seemed to work.

Sometimes, if the effect of applying the heat pack is not very obvious, Ye Lian will use a hair dryer to blow hot air on the affected area.

Anyway, these are the two tricks.

Ye Lian said that she had never been to the hospital and that the instruments there would definitely not be able to find out the cause of her illness.

She had never used any medicated patches before. The first time she had an attack, she had a big scare when she used one. Ye Lian even thought she had shingles.

Ye Lian didn’t understand what this strange disease was called. It always came and went like this without any reason.

There are no signs when the disease comes, and when it goes, everything returns to normal as if the strange disease had never been there.

Although this strange disease often occurs, it is never as serious as the first time. It comes and goes quickly, unlike the first time when the pain was so severe that it made it difficult to breathe.

This time, it was actually not that bad. I had a little pain in the left side of my waist, and I could feel it when I bent over to walk, but I moved gently and slowly. I could still move around at home, and there was no problem cooking.

It's not that easy to just go out, because people can tell at a glance that you are ill.

Ye Lian didn't want to attend her son's parent-teacher meeting in such a sick state, so she wanted Cao Xueqin to go.

The notice for the parent-teacher meeting was sent out yesterday, and Ye Lian also told Cao Xueqin about it. She called today to remind him again.

Cao Xueqin said on the phone that he remembered and he would come back early to attend his son's parent-teacher meeting.

Ye Lian hung up the phone and slowly walked to the balcony.

Standing on the twelfth floor and looking to the left, the teaching building and playground of Anbao Middle School are in sight. At this moment, there are several people playing basketball on the playground.

Anbao Middle School is so close that if you are in good health, you can walk there in a few minutes. But if you are not in good health, although it does not feel like it is far away, it is still not easy to walk there.

Therefore, you still need to be in good health, otherwise, those easy things will become extremely difficult.

Of course, Ye Lian was just sighing and not pessimistic. She knew that her strange disease would be cured soon.

"Mom, do you want to cut the meat in the refrigerator?" Cao Lanshan took out a piece of meat from the refrigerator and asked Ye Lian.

Ye Lian looked back and said yes, asking Cao Lanshan to cut the fat and lean meat separately.

Ye Lian was very pleased to see Cao Lanshan walk into the kitchen.

The son was very sensible and knew that his mother was not feeling well, so he volunteered to make dinner. He said that he would go to school early after dinner to help the class teacher arrange some things for the parent-teacher meeting;

My son is also very ambitious. He sets a goal and works hard to achieve it. He said he wanted to get into the top class this semester, and he has been working hard for it.

In the mid-term exam, he ranked first in Class 5() and sixth in the grade.

As long as he doesn't fail miserably in the final exam and falls out of the top 30 in the grade, he can be admitted to the top class.

The final results will be revealed at the parent-teacher meeting in the evening.

Cao Xueqin returned home, had a quick dinner, and then went to Anbao Middle School for a parent-teacher meeting.

The Linbao Road section near Anbao Middle School is lined with parked cars on both sides. They are all parents who are here for parent-teacher conferences. After all, their children’s studies are the top priority.

Cao Xueqin followed the crowd into the school and asked about the location of Class 5 () of Senior High School.

Class 5 () of Senior High School was on the third floor of the front teaching building. When Cao Xueqin arrived, some parents were already sitting in the classroom, and each parent sat next to his or her child on a plastic stool.

Some students were sitting in their seats, while others had left their seats and were chatting or playing in groups of two or three.

Cao Lanshan's seat was empty. He and another classmate were guiding parents to find seats. At the same time, they were distributing some academic records, registration forms and the like for parents to circulate, so that parents could understand their children's usual learning situation in school.

When Cao Lanshan saw his father coming, he asked in a pretentious manner, "Excuse me, which classmate's parent are you?"

Cao Xueqian suppressed his laughter and answered cooperatively: "I am Cao Lanshan's parent."

"Then please come this way." Cao Lanshan politely led Cao Xueqin to his seat.

"Thank you, classmate." In front of his son, Cao Xueqin will not lag behind in quality.

Haha, these two father and son played the "meeting but not knowing each other" drama tacitly.

The time for the parent-teacher meeting is approaching. The students have all returned to the classroom, and the parents are basically all present, waiting for the meeting to begin.

Our homeroom teacher, Mr. Peng, came in, said a few words, and then started handing out report cards.

The students all looked at Teacher Peng, wanting to know the results of their hard work for a semester.

The parents were also eagerly looking at the report card in Teacher Peng's hand, and they were eager to know what kind of return they could get as "investors" after a semester.

Teacher Peng gave some report cards to Cao Lanshan and asked him to help distribute them.

Cao Lanshan's report card was at the top, but Cao Lanshan didn't have time to look at it carefully, so he gave his report card to Cao Xueqin and then went to distribute other report cards.

When Cao Xueqin took Cao Lanshan’s report card, the first thing he did was to look at his grade ranking.

Seventh, ranking seventh in the grade, with a total score of 638 points!

Cao Xueqin felt relieved.

I was sixth in the midterm exam, and dropped one place in the final exam, now I'm seventh. With this ranking, I should be able to get into the top class next semester, right?

After looking at the grade ranking, Cao Xueqin looked at the scores of other subjects.

In six subjects, including Chinese, he ranked first in the class in three subjects, and in the other three subjects, he was in the top five, so his total score was first in the class.

Cao Xueqin was very happy and proud.

Cao Lanshan said that he would once again rely on his own strength to get into the top class. Judging from the results, he really did it.
