Brainoid

Qimi's school has a parent-teacher meeting, but fortunately it is not complicated. Long before the advent of the brain-computer interaction era, the popularization of information technology has made it very convenient for parents to monitor students. Today's parent-teacher conferences are not to let parents know about the school, but to satisfy parents to show off their homes. A commendation meeting held for children’s achievements. There will be one mid-term and one final session. Parents who think their babies’ comprehensive scores are good enough will participate.

However, Qi Mi did not tell her mother about this in the end. On the one hand, it was because it was inconvenient for her to say what she wanted to say, and on the other hand, she went back and thought about it carefully, and felt that she could not let her mother appear in a public place like school so simply. After all, her mother is the CTO of a brain-like body company. Wouldn't it cause chaos if she went to attend a parent-teacher meeting?

However, since Qimi's parents have never appeared at the parent-teacher meeting before, her teachers in various subjects have strongly requested that the parents come this time. Qi Mi sat at her desk and thought for a moment, then chose @her grandma and grandpa in the WeChat group of her and her grandma.

At that time, Ms. Zhu Shaoqiong and Mr. Qi Zhiguang were on vacation in Beihai. However, vacation was not as important as the granddaughter's parents' meeting. The old couple thought to themselves that Qi Min and Anton were so unreliable that Mimi had no one to hold a parent-teacher meeting for her. This requires a "veteran to take action." Ms. Zhu Shaoqiong assured Qi Mi that if her teacher dared to file a complaint, she would definitely fight him back.

So on the day of the mid-term parent-teacher conference, Ms. Zhu Shaoqiong and Mr. Qi Zhiguang flew back to Beijing and rushed to Qi Mi’s school. It has been eighteen years since they last came to this school for a parent-teacher conference.

"Hey, the changes here are quite big." Ms. Zhu Shaoqiong walked into the campus wearing a decent lotus-colored modified cheongsam and carrying a small leather bag.

Next to her, Mr. Qi Zhiguang is still wearing the same sportswear he has worn for forty years, with the same aviator sunglasses that Anton gave him five years ago hanging on his collar. He asked an old question: "Which classroom is Mimi's from?"

"Let's go to 312A." Ms. Zhu Shaoqiong said.

"Isn't 312A Lele's classroom back then?" Mr. Qi Zhiguang asked.

"That's 302A." Ms. Zhu Shaoqiong didn't want to pay attention to him. "You must have amnesia. It's time to go to the hospital."

Mr. Qi Zhiguang was helpless. He was just playing a motorcycle racing game on his brainoid body, but Ms. Zhu Shaoqiong said that he was addicted to illusory mental opium and damaged his brain. Don’t even look to see who is dancing on the brainoid body all day long and pretending to be a girl in her twenties. So much so that Mr. Qi Zhiguang felt extremely embarrassed every time she came to see him in the brain-like body.

But fortunately, their daughter has provided them with help. Although Ms. Zhu Shaoqiong sometimes sings and dances with an image that is very inappropriate for her age, she can quickly switch to an appearance that matches Mr. Qi Zhiguang's image if necessary. In fact, this function couldn't be easier to implement, but in order to prevent someone from using the rapid change of appearance to do evil things, the brain-like body company has set the image modification cycle in the virtual world to be similar to that of real surgery, and the image changes are gradual.

Ms. Zhu Shaoqiong and Mr. Qi Zhiguang walked into the teaching building of the junior high school. Because there were too few students in the physical school, most of the classrooms had been transformed for other purposes. They took the escalator to the third floor, walked into classroom 312A, and found the location where "Qimi" was displayed on the display screen.

Also because there are fewer people, the space allocated to each student in physical school classrooms is much larger than before. Although desks and hard chairs are still used to supervise learning, the total area of ​​the desk has increased significantly. The desk is equipped with a vertical double-sided monitor and a retractable writing board, and the desktop itself can also be slightly tilted to be used as a touch screen. This is different if the school has sufficient funds. And from another perspective, it is easy to equip virtual schools with high-end learning tools in brain-like bodies (although those are essentially imagined out of thin air). If the physical school cannot spend more If the money is spent on hardware, then no one will go to a physical school.

The advantage for parents is that it is more than enough for two or three adults to sit at the desks of current students. Ms. Zhu Shaoqiong couldn't help but sigh. Finally, it was not like it was more than 18 or 20 years ago, when two parents were squeezed into a space as narrow as Qi Min.

Hearing her emotion, a woman in the back seat across the aisle who looked to be in her fifties or sixties also said, "Yes, the conditions are much better now than they were twenty years ago."

Ms. Zhu Shaoqiong thought that this parent was also holding a parent-teacher conference for her grandchildren, so she turned around and glanced at the name on the display screen, which was "Zuo Lixiu." She had never heard Mimi talk about this classmate, but she still started chatting: "Is your family also an 'old fan' of our school?"

Nowadays, most people who go to physical schools are sentimental. Some, like Qi Mi, were brought by their parents to attend the same school they had attended before, while others were forced to let their children attend this school because their parents had longed for this school but missed it. People in similar situations are dubbed "old fans".

"That's right, our Huiyan went to this school." said the parent of Zuo Lixiu's classmate.

"My Lele also went to this school." Ms. Zhu Shaoqiong immediately found her "friend", "At that time, there were nearly forty people in one classroom."

The two parents checked the years and found that Qi Min was in the class two years before the student named "Hui Yan" and was taught by the same teacher. Ms. Zhu Shaoqiong didn’t understand Mimi’s situation, but she still remembered her own daughter’s situation, and she couldn’t stop talking to this parent about what happened back then.

As the two were talking, Zuo Lixiu's parents suddenly asked: "Is this your younger brother or younger sister?"

Ms. Zhu Shaoqiong was stunned for a moment, and then thought of other dialects that do not emphasize seniority when calling children in the family. Boys are called younger brothers, and girls are called younger sisters. However, she felt uncomfortable being called that way, so she answered in the usual way: "She is a daughter."

"Oh, daughter." The parent also converted to the local dialect's address system, "Our son is our son."

"Yes, this is a very elegant name." Ms. Zhu Shaoqiong praised.

After a while, almost all the parents arrived, and the subject teacher of the classroom came in to check the information between the students and their parents.

Teacher Ke Ren walked to Qi Mi's desk, looked at Ms. Zhu Shaoqiong and Mr. Qi Zhiguang, and vaguely felt that they were different from the ones he saw when he first started school: "Are you Qi Mi's mother?"

"Ah, no, no, I am Qi Mi's grandma." Ms. Zhu Shaoqiong said quickly.

"Why don't Qi Mi's parents come?" the teacher asked.

"Well... I'm busy at work, and my home is too far away." Mr. Qi Zhiguang explained forcefully.

"It's best for the parent-teacher conference to be held by the students' parents." The teacher glanced at them helplessly, then turned around and saw Zuo Lixiu's parents: "Are you also Zuo Lixiu's grandma? Or grandma?"

Zuo Lixiu's parent looked embarrassed: "I...I am his mother."

"Don't worry, if your parents can't come, it's better if your grandparents can come." The teacher obviously thought that she was making up lies because she was upset when Qi Mi's grandpa and grandpa were "criticized" just now, so he quickly comforted her and said, "I just want to trouble you. Go back and forward the parent-teacher meeting materials to Zuo Lixiu’s parents.”

However, this woman who looked to be in her fifties or sixties said again awkwardly: "I am really Zuo Lixiu's mother."

This is really embarrassing. Ms. Zhu Shaoqiong and Mr. Qi Zhiguang couldn't help but look at each other: they had let go of their second child and hurriedly gave their daughter, who was already in her twenties, a younger brother. This was the first time they had seen each other in real life.
