Chapter 34 What is Waste
Lu Meiqing, caring about her face, suppressed her dissatisfaction and smiled at her daughter Tao Xinyi, then turned around and ran to talk to Wang Ying.

"Mr. Wang, our Xinyi has suffered a lot this month. You should urge her to study more, and just tell me if there is anything out of control."

In Wang Ying's opinion, Tao Xinyi is too self-conscious and sensible, and no longer needs to be supervised, so she politely persuaded: "Meiqing, you are too worried. It is normal for high school students to fluctuate in their grades. The parent meeting will start soon. Go to your seat and sit down first. If you have any worries, we can communicate after the end."

As soon as the words were finished, Wang Ying stepped onto the podium and said, "The parents' meeting will start now. Students, go out and wait."

Seeing this, Lu Meiqing didn't have the chance to say anything else. She suppressed her anger and sat down on her daughter's seat, scratching her red nails lightly on the wooden desk.

Seeing her mother's angry face, Tao Xinyi stood aside feeling uneasy and said, "Mom, I will definitely work hard next time."

"Ah."

Lu Meiqing nodded slightly, her complexion improved this time.

The students around him had almost left, and Tao Xinyi had no chance to express her determination anymore, so she followed Lu Minghe and left the classroom.

Many classmates stood outside the classroom and eavesdropped on the content of the parent-teacher meeting, and Tao Xinyi was no exception. However, she stood out among the bad students as a college bully.

Lu Ming patted her shoulder and said, "There are new potted plants on the rooftop, let's go take a look."

To be honest, Tao Xinyi was not interested in the new potted plants, but she would not refuse Lu Ming, so she nodded silently.

After going up to the rooftop, Lu Ming found that many students gathered on the rooftop, chatting, or staring blankly. In short, the rooftop is no longer a secret place, and there are many pairs of eyes.

"What new potted plant?"

Tao Xinyi asked pretending to be interested, she was a little distracted with something hidden in her heart.

"There are no new potted plants. I don't think you will be happy if you continue to stay outside the classroom and listen to the parent-teacher conference. Besides, you will be very unhappy." Lu Ming stretched out his hand and waved it in front of Tao Xinyi's eyes and said, "Come back to your senses, why don't you go and say goodbye?" place for a walk.”

Tao Xinyi nodded in a daze, and followed Lu Ming's footsteps, walking aimlessly.

Just in time, clouds like mountains are surging in the sky, the trees are straight and straight, the leaves on the treetops are whispering, and the low chirping of birds is coming from far and near, if there is nothing.This is the most vibrant scene on campus in late autumn, and it is also the place Lu Ming chose for her.

"Xiao Yi, if you have something, you can tell me."

Lu Ming looked into Tao Xinyi's eyes, and continued, "It's okay if you don't want to talk about it now. If you want to talk about it in the future, I'll be here anytime."

"I'll tell you later." Tao Xinyi didn't dare to look into his eyes, she lowered her eyes to look at the ants crawling around, stretched out her hand to touch the air, and said softly.

"Maybe I can never be as good as my mother expected, but I really tried my best. Maybe I can be as good as my mother expected, but maybe I didn't work hard enough."

"That's it, don't ask."

In Lu Ming's opinion, she is already too good to be perfect, so why do she still say that she can't meet her parents' expectations?He thought for a long time, but only said one word.

"No matter the past or the future, you are the best in my eyes. No need to work hard, no one can compare."

The breeze blew across her cheeks, Tao Xinyi felt a little itchy, but she touched tears with her hand.Why, I cried and felt nothing.She tentatively reached out and grabbed Lu Ming's sleeve, and said in a trembling voice, "I'm so tired after so many years..."

In a place where no one was around, Lu Ming reached out and touched her head, brushing her black hair with his fingertips, and said, "Tao Xinyi."

"what happened?"

"It's nothing, I just want to call your name. Tao Xinyi."

"Lu Ming"

Afterwards, they read each other's names, repeating this seemingly boring process, as if they hadn't said anything.

The parent meeting is divided into three parts, the head teacher makes a speech, the parents of the students make a speech, and finally the head teacher makes a summary.

Wang Ying first talked about the general situation of the next mid-term exam, and then pointed to some students in the class who were slack in their studies.

Of course, Wang Ying will not reveal the names of the students. Her main purpose is to alert the students who are constantly positive, not to save their face.

After saying what needed to be said, Wang Ying's eyes fell on Lu Meiqing and said with a smile: "This time Tao Xinyi is the first in our class, so please come up and say a few words to Tao Xinyi's mother and share her education experience."

Lu Meiqing trimmed her hair with a decent smile, walked up to the podium, a little proud and airy, turned around to face the many parents and put on a worried look on her face, and said leisurely.

"Actually, our Xinyi is also unconscious. She has also regressed in this exam. So what if she ranks first in the class? There are many better than her..."

Next, she belittled Tao Xinyi from the beginning to the end, calling her lazy, careless and so on.

Lu Guofu felt a little irritated when he heard that. He crossed his legs, rubbed his hands and wanted to smoke.

However, Lu Meiqing's words also resonated with some parents, causing them to nod their heads.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Wang Ying interrupted Lu Meiqing, and said with a smile, "Mom Xinyi, we have limited time. Next, I would like to invite the father of Lu Ming, the student who made the most progress in this exam, to speak and share his education experience."

Lu Guofu stood up straight, strode towards the podium, and met Lu Meiqing who came down.

Seeing Lu Guofu's outdated and inappropriate suit, Lu Meiqing glanced at him contemptuously, and sat down gracefully.

Lu Guofu completely ignored her, stood a little awkwardly on the podium, and rubbed his fingers.

"Actually, I didn't do anything. It was the children's own efforts. I feel that now that we are in the third year of high school, the children themselves are under a lot of psychological pressure and are working very hard. As parents, we should not put too much psychological burden on them..."

Lu Guofu has been driving a taxi for a long time, and at most he only talks to the passengers. He hasn't spoken in front of so many people for more than ten years.

After saying a few words, he didn't know what to say. He turned to look at Wang Ying and said, "That's all I want to say. Listen to the teacher. Let's listen to Teacher Wang."

Compared with Lu Meiqing, Lu Guofu can arouse the favor of parents more.

After the parent-teacher meeting ended, he was surrounded by many parents, and Lu Meiqing was ahead of other parents to chat with Wang Ying.

At the same time, Lu Ming returned to the teaching building with Tao Xinyi who had calmed down, but her eyes were red and swollen from crying.

As Lu Meiqing was talking, she turned around and caught a glimpse of Tao Xinyi walking over. He locked eyes with her red and swollen eyes and lowered his voice and said, "You know how to cry if you don't do well in the exam. What's the use of you? You're like a waste."

"What a waste."

Lu Ming stood in front of Tao Xinyi, met Lu Meiqing's gaze, frowned and said, "Auntie, do you think you made a mistake?"
