Chapter 39
After leaving the house both Lili and Zhang Lisheng got into the car, they noticed that Michelle had been sulking at the back seat of the car the whole time . Lili then started the car engine and drove to Lowbige Junior High .
Being the best public high school in New York, Lowbige Junior High had a long history . It occupied a broad space with extraordinarily strong teaching power .
Its existence was the reason why the price of properties in Lowbige Community was on top of the list in the entire Brooklyn area in New York . It had attracted countless rich middle-classes to compete in purchasing property there .
8:30 in the morning was the peak hours for the students who were studying at the Lowbige Junior High . There were seventh to twelfth grades in the entire school which were thousands of students in those six grades . Most of them rushed into the school during that period of time .
However, even if that was the case, Lowbige Junior High did not seem to be congested at all as there were no walls around the school .
Under the morning sun, with its rays shining at him, Zhang Lisheng who got off the car, stepped on the hard cement ground as he looked far away at the school that was filled with a grass field . He then mumbled, "So American schools really have no walls, that's simply great . "
Lili did not hear what her son said . She then told Michelle, "Go to school now, remember to go home early after school . " She then brought Zhang Lisheng along and walked towards the school's administration building .
The structure inside an American public school was more or less the same . However, due to the size of the model, length of time and even the quality of student source, there was a major difference in the management form and authority .
For instance, some public high schools would not have an education consultant such as Lili . However, her position played a major role throughout the long history of Lowbige Junior High as she possessed a rather broad influence in the heavy responsibility of coordinating the school's parents meeting and the communication of president meeting .
Along the way, almost every teacher would take the initiative to greet Lili which caused the short journey to seem never-ending .
It took them some time to get to the small administration building . Lili brought Zhang Lisheng along and headed straight to the office on the west that had 'Student Principal Advisor Rachel Nile' on it . She walked into the office without even knocking on the door .
It was considered rude behavior in America where personal privacy was greatly emphasized .
"Hi, Banana Lady . When exactly will you learn to knock before entering my office?" In the office, a beautiful lady with a great figure and tanned skin was sitting behind a big office table . She stood up and said while smiling .
"I'll learn to do that when your Caramel Beauty has melted . " Lili smiled and hugged the lady . Both of them kissed each others' cheeks .
After greeting each other kindly, the tanned skin lady switched her focus onto Zhang Lisheng, "So this is the kid that you had with 'the man'?"
"Yes, Rachel . This is him . " Lili's emotion became melancholic as she replied softly .
"It's all in the past now, isn't it?" The caramel beauty Rachel touched Lili's arm as she comforted her while leaning on her office table .
"Yes, it's all in the past now . "
"Alright, Caramel Lady . Please give my baby the test papers and see which grade he's suitable to get in . "
"Don't worry, Lili . He's a kid from China, as long as he passed his English, it wouldn't be a problem for him to even enter a university directly . " Rachel took out a couple of test papers she had prepared earlier as she spoke . She then passed those and a pencil to Zhang Lisheng . "Kid, do this on my office table . I'll slap your butt if you look at the answers on the computer . "
"Rachel, can you not be so strict when you talk to my baby?" Lili who was beside her said in dissatisfaction .
"Lili, what did I ever do to him?" Rachel asked curiously .
"I'm sorry, maybe it's me who is being too sensitive . But I hope that you could speak more gently to this kid next time . "
"You have to know that he had been living with that . . . that man for the past sixteen years . He had never felt love and care for others . I hope that I could make it up to him by giving him more warmth . " Lili spoke with love and tenderness into Rachel's ears softly as she looked at Zhang Lisheng who was sitting behind the office table and began to work on the test papers .
"Well, even so, Lili, as an educator, don't you think there's something wrong with the way that you're treating this kid?"
"I'm feeling great, it's just that I've never felt so much motherly love flowing in my heart before . I've no idea why I've never had such feeling when I was raising Gill and Harry . "
"Please don't tell Sullo about this," Lili said softly with her head held down .
"I don't have to tell him, he's not a puppet . Anyone could sense that you're treating this kid differently . "
"Dear, listen to me . Perhaps you're feeling guilty for this kid but this can't be the reason why you're spoiling him and showing him much more care than the other kids at home…"
