Rebirth: Starting from a Trainee Teacher

Chapter 632 Mansion
The child had his birthday on the tenth day of the first lunar month, and people from his hometown came to Tangdu on the ninth day. Zhou Jing did not go to the company on the ninth day of the first lunar month. He had dinner at his parents-in-law's house, and then went to Tangdu Villa with Gu Jia and the child.

"The environment here in summer is better than that villa in BJ."

Gu Jia said after getting out of the car and looking at her own villa.

"The surrounding area of ​​BJ's apartment is average, and the land area is smaller than this one."

Zhou Jing moved the car slightly forward to clear the gate and said.

"This design is also good. I like this style."

“The garden at the back could be planned and organized.”

Zhou Jing bought this villa with a garden in Tangdu. It is a stand-alone villa with a total area of ​​more than 600 square meters. It is more spacious and grander than other villas due to the large separation.

The villa is in Chinese style, a two-story Chinese courtyard in the shape of a concave character. There is a cobblestone path at the front door, and a green belt against the wall. The path and green belt surrounding the villa look very elegant.

After entering the main gate and crossing the small path, you will see the small courtyard in the middle of the sanheyuan. The courtyard has marble floors. The main gate on the first floor of the sanheyuan is the living room. The bedrooms are on the front left and right, the kitchen is on the back left, the dining room is on the middle left, the activity room is on the back right, the restroom, men's and women's toilets are on the middle right, etc.

On the east side of the second floor is the master bedroom, which has a lounge, dressing room, study, bathroom, nursery, etc. Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows is a large balcony and corridor, which wraps around the second floor. People living on the second floor do not need to go downstairs to enjoy outdoor activities. Below the corridor on the second floor is the corridor outside the windows on the first floor.

In addition to the master bedroom, there are several bedrooms on the second floor. The overall interior configuration of the villa is similar to that of the BJ villa. The difference is that the Chinese style of Tangdu is more refined, while the BJ one is more fashionable and simple.

The yard in front of the villa is quite spacious, and the activity area and garden in the back are also spacious. The garden has not been planned yet, so the activity director built a plastic basketball court and badminton court according to Zhou Jing's request.

"The Chinese style is still better, and we can put some murals on both sides."

Gu Jia said while holding the child and looking at the slightly empty walls of the corridors on both sides of the courtyard.

"I am going to find a traditional Chinese painter to design two paintings."

Zhou Jing pushed open the main door on the first floor and let Teacher Gu in first.

"This is our home too. Does Zhou Zhou like it?"

Gu Jia kissed the child's cheek and said.

"Hmm~Chirp~"

The child looked around and noticed the magpie in the landscape painting on the wall.

"Catch the bird."

Gu Jia carried the child to the painting and touched it with her fingers, finding it spotless.

Zhou Jing sent the child's clothes and diapers to the bedroom on the second floor. From the second floor corridor, he looked at Gu Jia, who was holding her child and touring the house on the first floor, and asked, "Is the bedroom on the first floor cold?"

Today, the old man, the old lady and the grandmother came and stayed in the bedroom on the first floor at night. The elderly are afraid of cold, so if the bedroom is cold, Zhou Jing will buy an electric heater.

"It's not cold, the heating is very powerful. How much is this villa worth now?"

After looking around on the first floor, Gu Jia took the child to the second floor.

"More than thirteen million."

Zhou Jing spent more than 7 million yuan on the unfinished house, and more than 2 million yuan on decoration and decoration. All the wooden furniture is solid mahogany. The housing prices in Tangdu increased a lot last year. Buying the first villa in Tangdu is a necessity, so money is not a big deal.

“I love the design of this set so much.”

Gu Jia put the child down, stood in the corridor on the second floor, looked around and said.

"Daddy hug~"

The little girl hugged Zhou Jing's legs and called out in a baby voice.

"Is it time to go to bed?"

Zhou Jing picked up the child and went to the master bedroom, and took the child to see the suite in the villa. The lounge in the suite was like a small living room, with an 80-foot flat-screen TV hanging on the wall, a sofa and a refrigerator. The bathroom had a toilet, a washroom and a shower room. The bathroom had a double bathtub, and the study had a large mahogany solid wood table and leather chairs.

"Your father is really great. He gave us such a good home."

Gu Jia pinched the child's face and said.

"sleep."

Zhou Jing put the child on the bed and lay down himself pretending to sleep.

"Do we need to make reservations in advance for tonight's dinner?"

Gu Jia sat on the bed and looked at the father and daughter and said.

"No need, let's find a Pao Mo restaurant and let the old man and old lady taste the Pao Mo that people in Tangdu can't miss no matter where they go."

Zhou Jing spoke in Tangdu dialect.

"Your grandma's teeth are fine, how are the old man and your grandmother's teeth?"

Gu Jia said with a smile that Pao Mo is a bit of a test for teeth, and elderly people with bad teeth may not be able to chew it.

"My grandmother has no problem. The old man asked me to make it softer and break it into smaller pieces."

Zhou Jing took off his shoes and lay flat on his back, holding the child with one arm and patting him to sleep.

"What are we having for lunch tomorrow?"

Gu Jia continued to ask.

"noodle."

Zhou Jing couldn't think of any other staple foods in Tangdu except steamed buns and noodles.

Gu Jia thought for a moment and said, "How about we have hot pot tonight and steamed buns for lunch tomorrow?"

"My grandparents can't eat hot pot."

The old man and the two old ladies don’t eat spicy food at all. They would rather eat noodles than hotpot. Anyway, people from their hometown are very hospitable.

The child fell asleep. Gu Jia stopped talking and got up to go to the balcony to enjoy the scenery outside.

"The garden is so big, so grow some vegetables."

Gu Jia looked at the garden in the backyard of the villa. She planted flowers and vegetables, just enough for the family to eat.

"Sure, your dad is retired and he and your mom are living here."

Zhou Jing doesn't care, he can grow vegetables and flowers.

"My dad is now thinking about retiring early."

Gu Jia said with a smile.

“Retire early and enjoy life early.”

Zhou Jing admires his father-in-law for his ability to retreat at the right time. Not everyone can be so open-minded as to give up progress when there is such a bright future ahead.

"really."

Gu Jia understands her father. It is not easy for him to keep himself clean until now.

"What kind of car should I buy to go with this villa?"

Zhou Jing said while putting his arms around Gu Jia's slender waist.

The Range Rover that I bought in exchange for the Toyota I sold last year is now under the name of Ideal Technology. That Range Rover is Zhou Jing’s personal car at Ideal Technology, and the villa in Tangdu has not yet been equipped with a car.

“Buy an SUV.”

Gu Jia thought about it and decided that it would be more comfortable to take the children back to her hometown from Tangdu in an SUV. It would be uncomfortable to sit in a car for too long.

Zhou Jing opened his phone and searched the SUV rankings. The first one was the Rolls-Royce Cullinan. The Cullinan was too high-profile and did not suit Zhou Jing's image as an entrepreneur. After looking at pictures of SUVs of various brands, Zhou Jing set his sights on the Bentley Bentayga. The Bentayga, which costs more than three million yuan, lacks the grandeur of the Cullinan and is more low-key and luxurious.

After choosing the brand, Zhou Jing asked Gu Jia to choose the color.

"Red, right? This car is really nice."

There was a black Maybach and a white Rolls-Royce Ghost at home, and Gu Jia chose the red one.

Gu Jia likes Zhou Jing's taste very much. The car he chooses is low-key and luxurious. If it were someone else who was young and frivolous, they would choose Cullinan.

After staying in the villa for a while, Zhou Jing went to his parents-in-law's house to cook for the children, and Gu Jia stayed in the villa to look after the children. There was nothing in the kitchen of Tang Du's villa.

Before going to his parents-in-law's house, Zhou Jing first went to the Tangdu branch of Chuangzhi Technology. The company started work yesterday and officially entered work mode today. He drove to the Tangdu Building of Chuangzhi Technology and parked the car in the exclusive parking space. When the Maybach S680 entered the area of ​​the office building, it attracted the eyes of people working in the office building.

"He's a big shot."

"Is Zhou Jing also the boss of Ideal Technology and Chuangzhi Technology?"

"Yes, Zhou Jing founded Chuangzhi Technology, which is headquartered in BJ."

"So our company rents Mr. Zhou's office building?"

"Correct."

"Happy New Year, Mr. Zhou."

"Happy New Year."

"Mr. Zhou, I work in your office building. How can I become a member of your company?"

"Wait until I acquire your company."

“I look forward to Mr. Zhou acquiring our company.”

"."

Recognizing Zhou Jing, people entering and leaving the office building focused their eyes on him. Some came to wish him a happy new year, while those who were more outgoing and friendly started a topic of conversation. Zhou Jing was not aloof, so he also made a joke.

"Please come in, Mr. Zhou. Happy New Year." Next to the elevator, a very elegant urban female white-collar worker looked at Zhou Jing in a daze. After the elevator door opened, she took a step to the side. The other people waiting for the elevator recognized Zhou Jing and made way for him.

"Thank you and happy new year."

Zhou Jing didn't hesitate and went up first to show his respect.

"Wow, what brought Mr. Zhou here?"

A girl who looked like she had just graduated from college, or maybe even hasn't graduated yet, with the clarity in her eyes that is unique to college students, walked into the elevator and said in surprise.

"Chuangzhi Technology is Mr. Zhou's branch, and this office building also belongs to Mr. Zhou."

The person next to her looked at the female leader and said.

"Oh, I see."

The older girl suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

"Premier Zhou thought the mobile phone was very useful, and I also have an ideal smart speaker and a smart desk lamp."

A young man took out his ideal and said.

"Thank you for your support."

Zhou Jing smiled and said.

"Happy New Year, Mr. Zhou."

Arriving at the Chuangzhi Technology floor, Zhou Jing was greeted with a smile by the company's front desk staff as soon as he got out of the elevator.

"Happy New Year."

Zhou Jing had several red envelopes with him and gave one to the front desk clerk.

"Thank you, Mr. Zhou. Would you like tea or coffee?"

The girl took it with both hands, bowed and thanked him. She felt so lucky to receive a New Year's red envelope personally delivered by her boss.

"Just plain water will do."

Zhou Jing said this and went to his office.

Zhao Jie, general manager of Chuangzhi Technology's Tangdu branch, waited for a long time and immediately delivered the information to the office and reported on his work.

"These are the results of our branch, Jiaotong University, Northwestern Polytechnical University and the Institute of University of Electronic Science and Technology of China last year. These are the project plans of each team this year."

Zhao Jie separated the information and said.

"Let me see, you go and do your work first!"

Zhou Jing checked them one by one and found that the research of several R&D teams in charge of Chuangzhi Technology Tangdu Branch was also very efficient, especially the electronic R&D project in charge of Tangdu University of Electronic Science and Technology, which had conquered many electronic technologies in more than half a year and helped to localize all technologies of Ideal traditional mobile phones, smart speakers and smart desk lamps.

The projects developed by the Tangdu Jiaotong University Research Institute and the Tangdu University of Technology Research Institute are more systematic. Even if there are obvious breakthroughs in the short term, it is difficult to put them into practical use. It takes a long time and investment to achieve qualitative changes through quantitative changes.

After checking the R&D project, Zhou Jing found Zhao Jie, gave him some instructions and left the company.

It was almost time for the children's meal, so Gu's mother prepared all the ingredients and bought a stainless steel insulated lunch box specifically for the children. Zhou Jing then went back to the kitchen to cook.

Mother Gu said, "Xiao Zhou, take a rest. I'll do it."

"I'll come. There's nothing to do at the company today."

Now that the ingredients are ready, it only takes a few minutes to make vegetable dumpling soup.

"Is it cold in the villa?"

Mother Gu stayed in the kitchen to help.

"It's not cold. The weather is much warmer than before the New Year."

"What do you want to eat for dinner?"

"There are pumpkins and millet from my hometown in the car. I'll buy a pot and cook some pumpkin porridge in the evening."

Zhou Jing had been planning to come back in the evening to cook for the children, but it was too much trouble to drive there.

"How about we have dumplings for lunch tomorrow? Make the filling and mix the dough here and bring them over to make dumplings. There's so much meat at home that your dad won't be able to finish it when we get to BJ, so make some mutton dumplings for more people tomorrow."

Mother Gu opened the refrigerator, looked at it and said.

"That's fine. Jiajia and I will come back tomorrow morning to cook it. I'll chop the meat, so don't worry, mom."

Zhou Jing thought about it and decided that it would be very convenient to make dumplings after the filling and dough were prepared. All he had to do was go to the supermarket in the evening and buy a larger chopping board, a larger electric hot pot, and a set of plates and bowls and chopsticks. The more people who would eat, the more people would need to make dumplings.

"You don't need to buy a porridge pot. I have one at home that came with my induction cooker but I never use it. You can bring it over."

Mother Gu remembered that there was a small electric hot pot at home, so she took it out, plugged it in, and put it back together.

After the child's meal was ready and put into a lunch box, Zhou Jing returned to the villa. It was past two o'clock and the child had woken up. It had been a while since he had been breastfed and it was just the right time for him to eat complementary food.

"Go get some sleep before your dad and the others get here."

Gu Jia took the lunch box and fed the child.

"not sleepy."

Zhou Jing had a good rest during the Spring Festival. His hometown was quiet and suitable for a vacation.

"Daddy, give me a hug~"

The little girl placed on the sofa by Gu Jia reached out to Zhou Jing.

"Hold it and eat it well."

Zhou Jing understood the little girl's unclear voice and sat on the sofa and held her in his arms.

"Your dad's cooking is really delicious."

Gu Jia pinched the child's chin, scooped half a spoonful of the soup, blew on it and tasted it. From the taste, she knew it was made by Zhou Jing.

"Ah~"

The little girl opened her mouth.

"Is there anything going on at the company?"

Gu Jia fed the child and said.

"It's okay. It will take two days for the staff to adjust. Where's the necklace?"

Zhou Jing looked at Gu Jia's empty neck and said.

"It was torn off by your precious daughter. Ask your father to help me get a new one."

Gu Jia poked the child's face and said.

"If you destroy mom's things again, use your red envelope and lucky money to compensate for it."

Zhou Jing held the child's hand and rubbed the child's little feet and said.

"Did you hear me? When you grow up, don't blame your mother for confiscating your property."

Gu Jia used a spoon to feed the rice that flowed from the corner of the child's mouth back into his mouth and said.

After feeding the child, Zhou Jing dressed her and put shoes on her, then took her for a walk in the yard. At around two or three in the afternoon, the sun was shining brightly in the front yard. It was already the beginning of spring, and the weather in Tangdu in February had warmed up.

Zhou Jing put the child on the ground and let her practice walking. The little girl's cheerful voice echoed in the yard. Zhou Jing envied her happiness without any worries.

At around four o'clock in the afternoon, people from the old hometown came to the villa under the guidance of their cousin Wu Hao. Gu Jia and Zhou Jing greeted them together with their child. Zhou Jing opened the door and let his cousin and father drive the car into the yard.

"This is my cousin Tangdu's villa. The yard is bigger than ours."

Wu Yuan got out of the car and her eyes lit up when she saw the spacious courtyard and the two-story courtyard house in front of her.

“There’s a garden out back.”

My cousin Wu Hao parked the car in the parking lot and said.

"Grandpa, grandma, are you tired?"

Zhou Jing walked up to the old man and the two old ladies and said.

"Not tired."

"This whole area belongs to Jing?"

The three of them were tired after sitting in the car for six or seven hours, but when they looked at Zhou Jing's mansion, they forgot their tiredness.

“It’s all inside the wall.”

"I have always thought that big cities are not suitable for retirement. Living in a place like this is much better than living in a shabby house in my hometown."

Uncle Wu Xiaoping looked at the exquisite villa with emotion.

"The air in my hometown is good, but the sky isn't as blue as it is back home, right?"

Zhou Jing looked up at the sky and said with a smile.

"almost."

After taking the family to admire the outside of the mansion, Zhou Jing and Gu Jia took them inside.
