mutual benefit [gl]

Right now it is mid-to-late February, the Lantern Festival is over, and Ji Xu's children have also ended their not-so-pleasant winter vacation.

After all, Ji Cixi usually doesn't talk much at home, unless Ji Xu has the courage to talk to her, she will chat with him casually.

But if Ji Cixi took the initiative to talk to Ji Xu, it was obviously because the winter vacation was coming to an end, and someone as a aunt was coming to check on his nephew's winter vacation homework.

Today is the first day of school, although the snow had stopped outside when Ji Xu got out of school, but it was getting dark quickly and the road was wet and slippery, Ji Xu still walked staggeringly, and it took him a long time before he walked out of the school gate.

He was standing at the school gate waiting for the traffic light to change when he suddenly heard the sound of a car horn.

He looked around strangely, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he raised his arms and waved vigorously.

I saw Chen Yuanzhen get out of the car and walked quickly to Ji Xu's side.

"Surprised?" She knelt down and said with a smile.

Ji Xu nodded again and again, his little face was blushing, I don't know if it was because he was too excited to see Chen Yuanzhen or because he was frozen by the ghost weather.

Chen Yuanzhen untied the beige cashmere scarf around his neck, wrapped it gently around Ji Xu's neck, and adjusted the collar of his down jacket.

"It's cold outside, get in the car first."

As soon as he got in the car, Ji Xu's chatterbox opened up, probably because he hadn't seen Chen Yuanzhen for a long time, and he had a lot to say to her.

While driving, Chen Yuanzhen smiled and listened to Ji Xu telling himself all kinds of things that happened to him in school, and laughed and echoed from time to time.

Probably because Ji Xu would never be able to get such treatment from Ji Cixi's body. After Ji Xu said a lot of things, he still had something to say:

"If only my aunt could be like you, beautiful sister..."

"Your aunt is actually...just not good at talking." She said with a smile as she turned the car.

"Of course I know, my aunt is very kind to me!"

Chen Yuanzhen pursed her lips and smiled, as if she suddenly remembered something, she asked:

"You just said that you will hold a parent-teacher meeting tomorrow?"

Ji Xu nodded and said, "Yes."

Chen Yuanzhen rolled her eyes, she remembered that Ji Cixi used Ji Xu's parent meeting as an excuse to choke her several times before, she raised her eyebrows slightly.

Isn't it just a parents' meeting, as if no one dares to go.

At that moment, Chen Yuanzhen said, "Your aunt doesn't know yet?"

Ji Xu nodded again. He scratched his head and said, "It should be. Auntie didn't join our teacher's parent group."

He remembered that when he told Ji Cixi to let her join the parent group, Ji Cixi glanced at him, then went back to the book in his hand.

"Just tell your teacher that I don't have social software, just call if you have something to do."

Thinking of this, Ji Xu flattened his mouth a little aggrieved.

Chen Yuanzhen laughed when she heard the words. Taking advantage of the traffic jam, she took out a hand and patted Ji Xu's thin shoulder.

"Then how about I go tomorrow night?"

Ji Xu was taken aback, and looked up at Chen Yuanzhen suspiciously.

"Pretty sister, are you going?"

"Yes, can't you?"

"It's not impossible...but," Ji Xu smiled embarrassedly.

"Our teacher Zhang is very long-winded... My aunt complained to me when she came back from the parent-teacher meeting..."

Chen Yuanzhen couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth when he heard the words.

Ji Cixi herself is a guy who doesn't like to talk, and she thinks other people are talking...

"It's okay, I won't dislike your teacher for being long-winded, and maybe it's just your aunt who thinks he's long-winded."

After Chen Yuanzhen finished speaking, he stretched out his hand and scratched Ji Xu's nose.

"Don't tell your aunt about the parent-teacher meeting when you go back. I'll take you to dinner after the parent-teacher meeting tomorrow." She winked at Ji Xu.

"This is our secret."

however,

"Okay, thank you, Mr. Zhang."

Ji Cixi thanked Ji Xu's class teacher, Mr. Zhang, and hung up the phone. After that, she wrote the words "Parents' Meeting" on her calendar.

Chen Yuanzhen drove Ji Xu downstairs, but did not follow Ji Xu's suggestion to go upstairs.

She watched Ji Xu walk into the apartment building, and waved at him again, until Chen Yuanzhen turned the car and left when she watched him walk into the elevator.

In fact, she also wanted to see Ji Cixi, especially after talking to her this morning.

But at this moment, Chen Yuanzhen knew that it was better not to meet Ji Cixi.

Today, she also drove to Ji Xu's school to pick him up temporarily because she couldn't hold back her emotions.

If you can't see your aunt, it's good to see your nephew.

Although the time for the parents' meeting was set after school in the afternoon, Chen Yuanzhen began to choose the clothes to wear for the parents' meeting just after lunch the next day.

And Zhou Ming was forced to sit in the living room of the studio, watching Chen Yuanzhen perform a fashion show with a dazed expression.

"Hiss—Zhou Ming, do you think this dress is not good?" Chen Yuanzhen spun around and looked himself up and down.

However, before Zhou Ming could speak, she said to herself again:

"Sure enough, it's still inappropriate." Chen Yuanzhen frowned slightly, "You wait for me to change another one!"

After she finished speaking, she quickly stepped into the inner room, and before Zhou Ming could react, she closed the door with a "bang".

Zhou Ming shook his head helplessly, wanting to cry without tears.

After another five or six minutes, Chen Yuanzhen walked out of the room. She changed into a brown long trench coat and matched it with a light yellow long-sleeved shirt dress.

"In order to put vases in these years, my closet is full of gaudy clothes... I can't pick out the right one." Chen Yuanzhen muttered dissatisfied.

"So where the hell are you going?"

"Parents meeting." She replied without raising her head.

"Family, parents' meeting?" Zhou Ming was taken aback for a while before he realized, "Are you talking about Ji Xu's parents' meeting?"

Chen Yuanzhen raised his head without denying it, and asked Zhou Ming, "Is it okay to dress like this?"

"Boss...it's just for the parent meeting, you can wear whatever you want."

"That can't be done," Chen Yuanzhen raised his eyebrows, "I can't embarrass my nephew!"

After tossing and tossing for several more hours, Chen Yuanzhen finally went out.

Ji Xu was waiting for Chen Yuanzhen at the school gate early on. Seeing Chen Yuanzhen getting off the car and walking towards him, Ji Xu trotted to meet him.

"I'm not late, am I?" Chen Yuanzhen asked with a smile.

Ji Xu shook his head and smiled happily: "Beautiful sister, you should be the earliest parent in our class!"

After he finished speaking, he dragged Chen Yuanzhen into the school.

Ji Xu was right, Chen Yuanzhen was indeed the earliest parent in the class. When Ji Xu brought Chen Yuanzhen into the classroom, the small class cadres who stayed in the classroom to help the teacher guide the parents to sit were all stunned.

Before, there were rumors in the class that Ji Xu had no parents, and there were even rumors that he lived in an orphanage.Although Ji Cixi came forward to teach a provocative classmate at that time, the rumors among children were not so easy to break up.

But today these children saw Ji Xu leading a tall and beautiful big sister into the classroom, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and they all knew that the so-called legends before were all rumors.

"Right here!"

Ji Xu led Chen Yuanzhen to sit down in his seat, perhaps because he was worried that Chen Yuanzhen's legs would be too long to sit in his narrow seat, so Ji Xu also tried his best to help Chen Yuanzhen move the table.

"Beautiful sister, I'm on the playground. The meeting will be over in a while, so you can just find me on the playground!"

Chen Yuanzhen nodded, she touched Ji Xu's head with a smile, and let Ji Xu go to the playground to play first.

After Ji Xu left, Chen Yuanzhen raised his eyes and smiled friendlyly at the few children who were still in the classroom, but those children unnaturally dodged their eyes when they met her.

"Am I that scary..."

Chen Yuanzhen groaned, and reached out to touch Ji Xu's table hole.

The hole in the table was empty, she groped up and down, and suddenly came across a few pieces of paper.

"What..." She muttered, and took out the few sheets of paper from the hole in the table, only to realize that they were some test papers.

"One hundred, one hundred, 96..."

This is Ji Xu's final exam paper. Chen Yuanzhen flipped through it and laughed unconsciously.

She looked up and smiled and asked the children who were still in the class.

"Ji Xu's grades...how is it in class?"

She was asking in a friendly manner, but those children looked at each other and dared not speak.

Seeing that they were afraid to speak, Chen Yuanzhen didn't ask any more questions, so as not to let others think that she was embarrassing the children.

She sat in the classroom bored with her chin resting on her cheeks. Five or six minutes later, parents came into the classroom one after another.

Probably because Chen Yuanzhen was very conspicuous in a goose-yellow dress, the parents were taken aback when they entered the classroom, Chen Yuanzhen smiled and nodded to them, and they also nodded inexplicably and smiled in response to her.

When the parent meeting was about to start, a fat middle-aged man finally walked up to Chen Yuanzhen's side.

"Hmm..." The man smiled dryly and pointed to the seat next to Chen Yuanzhen with his eyes. Seeing this, Chen Yuanzhen quickly stood up and made way for the man to sit beside her.

After the man was seated, he took the initiative to smile at Chen Yuanzhen and said:

"I am the father of this child here, and you are Ji Xu's...?"

"Oh," Chen Yuanzhen smiled, "I'm from Ji Xu..."

She wanted to say aunt, but after thinking about it, Chen Yuanzhen still smiled and said:

"I'm Ji Xu's aunt."

"Oh, that's right...hehe." The fat man turned around as he spoke, and began to grope for the hole in his child's table.

He also took out three test papers. Chen Yuanzhen didn't care about him, but he cared about Chen Yuanzhen first.

"You...have you read your child's test paper?"

Chen Yuanzhen came back to his senses, "Oh, I saw it."

"Oh..." The man nodded thoughtfully. He wanted to wait for Chen Yuanzhen to take the initiative to tell him about the child's test scores, but he saw that Chen Yuanzhen didn't seem to have that meaning at all.

He scratched his face in embarrassment, and finally couldn't help it, and asked:

"Your child... How much did you score in the final exam last semester?"

"Eh?"

Chen Yuanzhen was taken aback. She was about to answer when she caught a glimpse of the test papers under the man's elbow, which were three hundred points.

She choked on the words that reached her throat, and said with a smile: "It's not as good as your child's grades."

"Oh...don't even say that."

When Chen Yuanzhen said that Ji Xu did not do well in the exam, the man first breathed a sigh of relief, and then put on a comforting gesture.

"However, it's okay for a child to fail the exam once or twice. If this continues, Aunt Ji Xu, you should pay attention."

"Oh?"

"Hi..." The man shook his head and said, "This parents' meeting, you should let the child's mother come over. I think you are still very young, so of course you don't know how much trouble raising a child is."

Chen Yuanzhen didn't want to talk any more at first, but now that the parent meeting hasn't started yet, she feels bored, so she simply let that person chat a few words.

"Then what do you say?"

The man was not too polite, he put on a smug look, and said with a smile: "My child enrolled in Mathematical Olympiad class, English class and composition class in the summer vacation when he was promoted from kindergarten to first grade, so you can see how good he is because of his grades." .”

"Oh... so that's the case." Chen Yuanzhen showed admiration, "I have signed up for so many tutoring classes, so it must be troublesome for you to pick up and drop off."

The man shook his head and said with a smile: "Why don't you say it's troublesome for the child. The child's mother happens to be on the way to work. She can drop it off at work and pick it up after get off work."

"Are all the three remedial classes on the way?"

"This, this is not..." The man smiled slightly, "But it's not too far away, and there is a snack street near the Mathematical Olympiad class, so she can take the food home after picking up the child, which is very convenient .”

"It turns out that the mothers of the children are picking up and dropping off, so why are you here to attend the parent-teacher meeting today?"

The man was probably coaxed by Chen Yuanzhen's admiring tone, he shook his head and said:

"The child's grandma is in the hospital for drips. I can't help it. Usually, the child's mother comes here in person."

"Oh...so that's the case." Chen Yuanzhen smiled lightly, "I heard you say it so proudly just now, I thought it was you who kept sending the child away. It turns out..."

She lowered her eyes to one side and said lightly:

"It turns out that the child's mother has been worrying about the child's studies... The child's mother has to go to work and pick up and drop off the child every day, which is quite worrying."

The man only heard the subtext of Chen Yuanzhen's words at this time, and his face was flushed with embarrassment at that moment. He wanted to argue a few more words, but at this moment, teacher Zhang, the head teacher, walked into the classroom.

When Teacher Zhang entered the classroom, she saw Chen Yuanzhen first, and she was taken aback when she saw Chen Yuanzhen.

Ji Cixi had left a deep impression on her before, but the person who met today was not Ji Cixi, so Teacher Zhang was still a little puzzled.

But without thinking too much, she walked to the podium and began to say her opening remarks.

In fact, there is nothing else in the parent meeting of elementary school students. There is nothing else to do but talk about what activities are going on in the school and classes, talk about the children's discipline, and criticize a few mischievous children in class without naming them.

However, for parents, these things are irrelevant. The learning issues that the class teacher will talk about next are the most important things in this parent meeting.

Teacher Zhang cleared his throat and began to evaluate this final exam.

"In the final exam of last semester, our class ranked in the whole grade..."

Teacher Zhang was talking, but suddenly there was a knock on the door behind him.

Everyone's eyes were attracted by the knock on the door. Everyone looked at the door, and Chen Yuanzhen was no exception.

But when she saw the person standing outside the door, she almost stood up in fright.

Why is Ji Cixi here? !

The head teacher opened the door, Ji Cixi stood at the door and apologized:

"I'm sorry, Mr. Zhang, I didn't have time to get off work..."

"Get off work? You came late on purpose because you didn't want to listen to the teacher's nonsense! Doesn't this person blush when he lies!"

Chen Yuanzhen complained bitterly.

Teacher Zhang was also taken aback, she looked at Ji Cixi, and then at Chen Yuanzhen sitting in Ji Xu's seat in the classroom...

Oh no, at this moment Chen Yuanzhen covered his face with his bag.

"You, please come in first..."

The teacher had no choice but to let Ji Cixi in first. As soon as Ji Cixi entered the classroom, he saw someone covering his face with a bag.

Although Chen Yuanzhen is covering her face, her dressing style is still more eye-catching among the parents.

Ji Cixi recognized her at a glance, and couldn't help rolling her eyes.

She walked slowly in front of Chen Yuanzhen, held back a smile, reached out and knocked on the table.

"Ahem...Thank you for being on duty for me, thank you for your hard work."

As soon as Chen Yuanzhen heard it, she knew that Ji Cixi had recognized her. She moved the bag away from her face, and gave Ji Cixi a doggy smile.

"No hard work, no hard work, then I will withdraw first!"

After saying that, she stood up and ran out of the classroom in a hurry, leaving only a group of confused parents and teachers.

After running far away from the classroom, Chen Yuanzhen stopped.She looked back in the direction of the classroom, gritted her teeth and complained:

"Why did Ji Xu lie about the military situation?"

About an hour later, the parent meeting ended, and Ji Cixi went to the playground and saw Chen Yuanzhen who was squatting and playing with Ji Xu.

She looked at the two of them from a distance, couldn't help but stop, folded her arms and thought.

Chen Yuanzhen is really strange.

Sometimes she will make herself feel unfathomable, but sometimes she will make herself feel extremely naive.

She suddenly remembered that during the parent-teacher meeting just now, the male parent beside her always looked at her with unkind eyes.

Could it be that Chen Yuanzhen made some kind of demon again?

Ji Cixi shook her head, then quickly walked to the side of those two people.

"Let's go, two troublemakers."

After Ji Cixi reproached, she turned and walked forward, but there was a smile on the corner of her mouth.

The author has something to say: This chapter is fairly relaxed, you can adjust the tense atmosphere...

Sure enough, Director Chen is more gentle than Mr. Ji's cold and stern approach~

Maybe there will be another one tonight...?It's just possible...
