EP 139. Parent-teacher conferences and spring break

"At least they survived."

Because of Bayonetta's words, Shi Xiaolei got out of the narrow horns and felt much better.

However, it was the lively, cute, clever and well-behaved little girl Kangna who really made him regain his cheerfulness.

No, in the afternoon of the next day, the little girl Kangna came back from school with excitement and found Shi Xiaolei who was busy in the kitchen, hugged his thigh and told him the good news.

"Xiao Lei Xiao Lei, I won the prize~!"

"Really?" Shi Xiaolei subconsciously moved his arm away, fearing that the oil stain would rub on the little girl's face. While Shi Xiaolei picked up the hand towel that had just been washed by 2B and wiped his hands, he lowered his head and looked at the little girl with smiling eyes. : "What kind of prize is it? Tell me about it, it will make me happy too."

"Look~!" The little girl let go of her arms, put her hands into the small pockets in the front of her overalls, and took out a small card.

"Let me see~."

This is a commemorative certificate issued by the community center. Anyone who has participated in charity activities organized by the community is eligible to receive one.

Shi Xiaolei was quite familiar with this stuff. After all, when he first came to this world, in order to leave a good impression on the neighbors and integrate himself as soon as possible, he often participated in similar activities.

But the slight difference is that compared with the cards Shi Xiaolei collected in the small box, the one in Kang Na's hand was obviously smaller and much more delicate.

Obviously, this was specially made by the community center to encourage the cultivation of children.

"Oh, such a beautiful card." Even the people at the community center know to encourage the children. As a parent, Shi Xiaolei certainly will not lag behind. Touching Kang Na's head, Shi Xiaolei deliberately pretended to be envious: "Speaking of which, I got several of them, so why aren't they as good-looking as yours? Our Kang Na is still better."

"Hehe~." She narrowed her eyes happily, and Kangna's little face was filled with a happy smile.

"Kanna, can you show it to me?" Lisa was helping wash the dishes in the kitchen. Seeing this scene, Lisa also joined in the praise: "Wow, what a beautiful card. Kangna, this is your school organization Is there an event for you? If you have a chance next time, please bring one with me, I also want a card like this."

"Well, we didn't have class today. The teacher took us to do something good. Let me tell you..."

Even the guests who came to dine could not resist the charm of the little girl, let alone the three Lisas who worked in the store every day and had more frequent contact with Kangna.

She spoke softly, was extremely patient, and complimented her from time to time. With Lisa's intentional cooperation, the little girl became happier and happier, letting out strings of laughter like silver bells.

While talking, the little girl Kangna suddenly remembered something.

"Xiao Lei Xiao Lei, the day after tomorrow..." As he said this, he once again put his hand into the small pocket on his chest. After digging around for a few times and finding nothing, the little girl couldn't help but become a little anxious, and the smile on her face disappeared.

"What's wrong? Connor?"

"The note given by the teacher is missing." Looking up at Shi Xiaolei, the little girl pursed her lips in frustration.

"What kind of note?" Shi Xiaolei was still a little confused.

"The note with the teacher's phone number written on it." Kangna replied dully: "I remember it was in this pocket, why is it missing?"

"Don't worry, don't worry." Shi Xiaolei smiled, squatted down and put his hand on the little girl's shoulder, softly comforting: "Is it Teacher Jenny's number? If it is, it doesn't matter if it's dropped."

"Eh?"

"Because I have memorized it a long time ago." Shi Xiaolei said with a smile: "Not only me, but Sylvia and Bayonetta also memorized it. Kangna, just tell me if the teacher has anything to do with me." "

"Really?" She looked at Shi Xiaolei and then at 2B. Seeing that 2B also nodded, Kangna felt relieved: "The teacher said that there will be a parent-teacher meeting the day after tomorrow, and she asked you to give her a call today or tomorrow. Call and make an appointment to meet.”

"Parent-teacher meeting? The day after tomorrow, Friday?"

"Um."

Yes, just like in China, the United States also has rules for inviting parents to meet for parent-teacher conferences.

The frequency is almost once every six months, but the slight difference is that parent-teacher conferences in the United States are not the kind where all parents are gathered in a classroom, with the teacher speaking on the stage and the parents listening below. The format is no different from a class. 'meeting.

Because the number of students is relatively small and more emphasis is placed on sex, in the United States, the format of parent-teacher meetings is a bit like queuing up to see a psychologist - on average, parents of each child can get about half an hour to meet. Teachers and parents are one-on-one, and there are no other people waiting around. After the previous parent has finished talking, it will be the turn of the next parent.

You can't take up the rest time on holidays, and it also involves queuing... Parents also have to go to work, and it's impossible to go to school early in the morning and wait in line all day, so communicate with the teacher on the phone in advance and make an appointment. Meeting time is very necessary.

"Okay, I understand. I'll call Teacher Jenny in a moment."

"Yeah, don't forget it."

"Will not."

Although there were some minor twists and turns, the message was finally conveyed, and she felt relaxed. The little girl's energy quickly recovered, and her cheerful laughter sounded again in the store.

"That's great~." Watching Kangna rush out of the kitchen and run carefree towards 2B sitting behind the counter, Lisa couldn't help but sigh: "I was like this when I was a kid. When the day comes for the parent-teacher meeting, You will be very happy.”

Are you very happy every time there is a parent-teacher meeting?

Really unable to understand why Lisa had such a reaction, Shi Xiaolei couldn't help but ask: "Why?"

"Because there will be a holiday not long after the parent-teacher meeting." Lisa replied matter-of-factly: "Boss, have you forgotten? There will be spring break in March. "

"Uh~."

To be honest, Shi Xiaolei had indeed forgotten that there was such a thing - around March every year, all primary and secondary schools in the United States would have a holiday. Depending on the region and school, it will be at least one week, and if more, it may even be two weeks in a row.

"You know, I only came here last year and haven't experienced spring break yet." Shi Xiaolei scratched his head and smiled awkwardly.

"That's right." Lisa nodded to express her understanding: "When I was a child, my favorite thing was spring break. Winter break was too cold and summer break was too hot, both of which were not suitable for going out to play. Spring break is the most comfortable, neither cold nor hot, and... The length of spring break is just right, it won’t be so short that it ends before you’ve had enough fun, and it won’t be too long either…”

"Wouldn't it be better if it lasts longer?"

"It's not good if it's too long, that's what I think anyway. Like summer vacation, if it lasts for two or three months, I don't like it. Think about it, you won't be able to see your favorite good friends for two or three months in a row. How depressing it would be to not be able to play together." As she spoke, Lisa suddenly paused and turned to look at Shi Xiaolei: "...Boss, during the week or two when Kangna is on spring break, the store will not be on holiday again. Bar?"
