Chapter 145 Good Seedling

After the parent-teacher meeting, many parents left one after another. Li Luo chose to stay because he wanted to ask the teacher some questions.

After listening to Ling Xiaolei's explanation, Li Luo realized that the man in front of him was called Lu Ansheng, a technical secondary school student. Because his wife chose to stay in the countryside, he was assigned to be a primary school teacher.

Seeing that the parent-teacher meeting was over, Lu Ansheng was about to walk outside, and Li Luo immediately followed him.

"Hello, Teacher Ansheng." Li Luo politely extended his hand and greeted Lu Ansheng.

"Are you the mother of Da Mao and Xiao Mao?" Lu Ansheng politely shook Li Luo's half hand.

Li Luo was stunned. She didn't expect that Lu Ansheng actually knew Damao.

"I also teach first grade math." Seeing Li Luo's confusion, Lu Ansheng hurriedly explained.

Li Luo then realized that there were only five teachers in this school, plus the principal, a total of six teachers, all of whom had multiple duties in each grade, so it was not surprising that Lu Ansheng taught Da Mao and Xiao Mao.

"Thank you, teacher, for taking care of our little one, Da Mao."

Lu Ansheng waved his hands quickly. Although Ling Xiaolei's grades were not optimistic, Ling Xiaoguang's grades had always been among the best in the school. It was a bit modest for Li Luo to say this now.

Originally, Lu Ansheng was going to say that Xiao Mao's grades were not optimistic, but after what Li Luo said before, Lu Ansheng also reflected on himself and wondered if he was also a teacher who blindly pursued grades.

The answer is obvious.

Although he stayed in the countryside because of his wife, he also loved his career in this land. Watching batch after batch of students go to farther places, his heart was filled with pride.

Lu Ansheng didn’t know Ling Xiaolei’s family situation. He thought Li Luo was not very old and didn’t know why Li Luo was Xiaomao’s mother.

"Da Mao's grades have always been stable, and he is a very steady person. He is a good student with excellent character and academic performance, but he is too dull on weekdays and often sits in his seat in a daze."

"Although Xiaomao's grades in school are not very good, he has been able to get along well with his classmates recently, and he actively answers questions in class. If his attitude is more positive, it will not be a problem for his grades to improve."

Lu Ansheng briefly summarized to Li Luo the situation of Da Mao and Xiao Mao at school.

"Xiao Mao was not like this before. He didn't get close to anyone except his brother, and he couldn't concentrate. He always looked sickly, and he didn't have much energy during physical education class."

"Now he has become more active. He is quite talented in sports. Parents can focus on nurturing him."

Lu Ansheng didn't expect Li Luo to listen to him. He had said this to other parents before, but when they heard about professional training and money, many parents gave up and said that it was useless for their children to be good at sports.

However, Lu Ansheng still has to fulfill his responsibilities as a teacher. He must convey these words to the parents of every potential student.

After hearing this, Li Luo was pleasantly surprised: "Really? Then can our Xiao Mao also become an athlete and participate in competitions in the future?"

Lu Ansheng thought he was talking to a deaf person, but Li Luo gave him an unexpected answer. Lu Ansheng nodded and said, "Xiao Mao is a good talent. If he is trained, it is not impossible for him to participate in large-scale competitions in the future."

Li Luo's smile widened: "In that case, please give me some advice, teacher. As parents, we will fully cooperate." "Our school's resources are limited. Xiao Mao may go to the town or even the city for training, so it will definitely cost money. We also need to pay attention to the child's diet."

Li Luo wrote down everything Lu Ansheng said: "Then please tell me how much the fees are in total, and I will send them to you when the time comes."

Lu Ansheng also perked up: "I will apply to the principal to reduce Xiaomao's fees to a certain extent. After arriving in the town, Xiaomao's qualifications will be tested. I will communicate with you later."

"There is one more thing, teacher." Li Luo pondered for a long time and said to Lu Ansheng.

"Just tell me." Lu Ansheng was curious about what other surprises Li Luo would give him.

"If I want to go to university, what knowledge do I need to learn now?"

Although Li Luo had passed the college entrance examination in his previous life, he was still a little unsure about the examination in the 1980s, so he wanted to ask a professional.

"Studying for college? Da Mao and Xiao Mao are still young, parents don't need to be too anxious now." Lu Ansheng smiled. Didn't Li Luo say before that they shouldn't expect their children to be successful? Why is he now asking about his college education?

Li Luo shook his head: "It's not about Da Mao and Xiao Mao, I just want to go to college."

Lu Ansheng was shocked by the confidence shown by Li Luo. Although many people were keen on taking college entrance exams at that time, few people in rural areas had this awareness. He did not expect that Li Luo actually had this idea.

"Did you go to high school?" Lu Ansheng asked tentatively.

Li Luo nodded: "I went to high school, but later for some reasons, I didn't go to college."

Lu Ansheng looked regretful: "Going to college is a good way out. You will be assigned a job directly after graduation. At worst, you can stay in school to teach."

Li Luo smiled and said, "I was not sober enough at that time, so I want to try harder now. I think it's not too late now."

"Of course it's not too late. Learning is endless. We can learn until we die. Even if we don't go to college, we can't stop learning. We must have a heart that keeps learning."

Lu Ansheng smiled. Many college students nowadays, some have already started working, and some are pregnant, but they still want to continue to take the college entrance examination.

"Hmph, you think you can go to college? Now that you're married here, don't worry about all those other things." Zhang Ning's mother Xu Qingqing glanced at Li Luo, her tone full of sarcasm.

Li Luo didn't expect that when she was just discussing going to college with Lu Ansheng, someone was eavesdropping on her. When she turned around, she found that it was the mother of the former top student in the class.

"You are Zhang Ning's mother? Fortunately, Zhang Ning is not like you. He doesn't have the habit of eavesdropping on other people's affairs." Li Luo smiled as he looked at Xu Qingqing's jumping expression.

"Who do you think you are? The child I educated, who got top grades, yet you belittled him and made him look worthless. Now you want to go to college, why don't you say that grades are useless?" Xu Qingqing finally got the chance to refute Li Luo.

Li Luo's face was filled with black lines: When did she say that grades were useless? She just told parents not to pursue grades too much and to pay more attention to the physical and mental growth of their children.

"Don't you understand what people say?" Li Luo was so angry that he laughed at the mother in front of him.
