Rebirth: Starting from a Trainee Teacher

Chapter 658 May is Coming
April came to an end quickly. On the 30th, Zhou Jing's family returned to their hometown. Bringing their child with them added a lot of joy to the long journey. The child, who was over two years old, was very active, making the long journey less boring.

This time I drove home the Bentley Bentayga I bought in March. When taking children on a long trip, an SUV has more spacious space. The red Bentley Bentayga looks noble and elegant, and it is very beautiful when driving on the road.

It was a joyful time in the car. Zhou Jing was driving carefully and only played with the children after he stopped at the service area.

May is approaching and June is not far away. Seeing the date displayed on the road sign, Zhou Jing sighed in his heart.

"Look how hard your father works. Tell me how hard your father works."

Gu Jia sat in the back seat, holding the child and fastening her seat belt. Gu Jia was also very careful when taking the child out.

"Dad, thank you for your hard work~"

The little girl looked at Zhou Jing who was in the driver's seat and said in a baby voice.

“Serve the porridge.”

Zhou Jing said with a smile.

"Give grandma a drink."

Wu Suqin reached out to the child holding the bottle and said.

The little girl gave the bottle to Wu Suqin without any hesitation.

"Grandma doesn't drink it, but the baby drinks it."

Wu Suqin returned the bottle to the child, held one of the child's feet and kissed it.

"Ask dad if he's thirsty?"

Gu Jia unscrewed a bottle of water and said.

"Dad, drink some water~"

"Thank you Zhou Zhou, thank you mom."

Zhou Jing took the water handed to him by Gu Jia, took a sip and handed it to Gu Jia.

Zhou Jing drove the whole way. His father's school didn't close until six o'clock. When they arrived in Qing County, Zhou Jing first stopped the car in the county town and went to his uncle's pancake shop to rest and eat some pancakes to fill his stomach. He also waited for his father to get off work and then go back to the countryside.

"You guys take a seat first, Jing can get anything to drink from the freezer."

My aunt Zhang Mei asked me to make pancakes.

"Is Haohao coming back?"

Zhou Jing put the child on the ground and stood up to stretch his muscles after being stuck in the car for a whole day.

Zhang Mei said: "I'm not coming back. I'm going to my boyfriend's house to discuss the engagement."

"It's decided in the first half of the year. When will we get married?"

Gu Jia thought that she should not get married on National Day as many people around her were getting married this year, so it would be better to stagger the dates.

Zhang Mei said: "It should be next year. This National Day, the two of them are going to Sanya to take wedding photos. It's really tiring to go so far just to take wedding photos."

"Now that transportation is so convenient and not far away, Sanya is a good place to take wedding photos."

Speaking of wedding photos, Gu Jia recalled the wedding photos she and Zhou Jing had taken two years ago. She took out her key chain and looked at the photo of the two of them. When she was taking the wedding photos in BJ, she wanted to have a chance to take them again at the beach, but the company was getting busier and busier and she had no time.

"We didn't have the conditions back then, but now young people have the conditions and can shoot wherever they want. It's the only chance in a lifetime."

Wu Suqin lamented that society is changing too fast. When her generation was young, they did not have the conditions to take wedding photos. It was good enough for both parties to take a photo together.

"Is it a bit cold?"

It's almost May and the weather in my hometown is still a little chilly in the mornings and afternoons after the sun sets. Zhou Jing took off his casual shirt and put it on the child.

"Daddy hug~"

The little girl said, stretching her arms.

"You're not listening again, are you? Your dad is very tired after driving all day. Let him take a rest."

Gu Jia said in a stern tone.

The little girl obediently put down her arms and hugged Zhou Jing's legs.

"Jing is back. Does Zhou Zhou remember his uncle?"

Uncle Wu Xiaoping came over from the Internet cafe and squatted on the ground to play with the child.

"Call me uncle."

Zhou Jing rubbed his daughter's head and said.

"Old uncle~"

The little girl leaned on Zhou Jing's legs and said obediently.

"Come, uncle, give me a hug." Wu Xiaoping picked up the child and said, "Is Jing busy recently?"

"This month is okay, but last month was busy."

Zhou Jing picked the child's nose and said.

Zhou Jing didn't go on many business trips in April, but he will be very busy again starting in May.

Wu Xiaoping said: "The poverty alleviation funds you gave to the county were implemented very quickly. Some people in your grandmother's village have already received free cows and sheep."

“Is it a poor household?”

In the first month of the year, the county was given 20 million yuan in poverty alleviation aid. Zhou Jing was concerned about whether the aid was given to truly poor households.

Wu Xiaoping said: "Yes, those who were allocated cattle and sheep were basically from poor families."

"How's Mom?"

In the past two years, Wu Suqin has been busy taking care of her son and daughter-in-law's children and has not taken much care of the elderly.

"No problem. I bought a few carts of stones and bricks and plan to find someone to repair the yard and road at home and build two more houses."

Wu Xiaoping now has the conditions and is planning to renovate his hometown as the young people in his family have started to start their own families and careers, making it more convenient for them to return home in the future.

Zhou Jing verbally supported his uncle but did not mention money. Grandma's house was his uncle's territory. No matter how rich Zhou Jing was, he could not participate in the construction of his grandmother's homestead. His uncle was not short of money now.

"Yuanyuan didn't come back during the holidays. I don't know if she has a boyfriend in college. Do Jing and Jiajia know about this?"

Zhang Mei rolled up the pancake and brought it to the table and said.

"I don't know. It's normal to date someone in college. She should be traveling with her roommates during the holidays."

Zhou Jing didn't pay attention to his cousin's private affairs.

"I'm afraid she'll date someone from another place. A woman in your grandmother's village is dating a man from the south. Although they live in Tangdu now, they haven't bought a house. If they can't make it in Tangdu, it will be difficult for them to go back to their husband's hometown or their parents' home."

What Zhang Mei is most worried about is that her daughter will date someone from another place.

Gu Jia said: "Yuanyuan has a good relationship with a classmate in high school."

"It's fine if we don't talk about people from other places."

Girls cannot be kept at home when they grow up. Zhang Mei understands her daughter's personality and the family cannot influence her. As long as she doesn't look for someone from another place, it's fine.

After get off work, Zhou Guozhong drove to the county town, and then they met up and returned to the countryside. Wu Suqin rode in Zhou Guozhong's car, while Zhou Jing and his family of three rode in his car.

"Dad~"

The child looked at Zhou Jing and called out like a spoiled child.

"Sing for Daddy. Daddy wants to hear the little bunny."

Zhou Jing said while looking ahead.

"Little bunny, be good and open the door"

The little girl sat in Gu Jia's arms, cheering and singing screaming.

"Lower your voice, or you'll deafen mom's ears."

Gu Jia held the little girl tightly in her arms, and admired the child's endless energy, which kept moving from morning to night.

The car drove into the village entrance. Zhou Jing rolled down the window a little to let the fresh air from the mountains blow into the car for ventilation. The red Bentley Bentayga looked particularly bright on the country road, attracting the attention of people entering and leaving the village. Zhou Guozhong followed closely behind in his Volkswagen Phaeton.

"How much is this car, Jing?"

Zhou Guozhong said while looking at the car in front.

"It's less than four million, and the garage of BJ's villa is almost full."

Her son had no other interests, so Wu Suqin was too lazy to persuade him to buy fewer cars. From last year to this year, her son bought three cars worth more than three million yuan. Together with the Mercedes-Benz, BMW and Audi he bought before, he now has six or seven cars.

"It won't go bad."

Zhou Guozhong is also a man, and he understands men's love for cars. He feels more confident when driving a good car.

“Is that a Bentley?”

"BYD, where can you find a Bentley in this remote place?"

"BYD has three letters, but this one only has B."

"It seems to be Bentley."

"It's Zhou Jing. This big boss has bought a new car again."

"."

The young men playing on the roadside were dazzled by Zhou Jing's car and started talking about it while looking at it.

When it comes to the planting season, some farmers in the countryside are still busy in the fields. The turned land exudes the scent of soil, and the bright flowers in the orchard add a bit of charm to the yellow earth.

When they reached the bottom of the hill in his hometown, Zhou Jing slowly parked the car. This time he didn't bring much stuff, so the old man didn't need to drive the three-wheeled motorcycle. The old man and the old lady got off to help carry the things. "Finally back."

Gu Jia got out of the car and took a deep breath. The air in the mountains was still fresh.

"Walk by yourself or do you want dad to carry you?"

Zhou Jing said as he put shoes on the child.

"Daddy hug~"

The little girl was too lazy to walk after sitting in the car all day.

"Daddy will hold you."

Zhou Jing hugged the child and kissed him.

"You're so old and still want someone to hug you, aren't you ashamed?"

Gu Jia pinched the child's face and said.

The little girl clung to Zhou Jing's neck, looking happy and indifferent.

"Zhou Jing bought a new car again?"

A neighbor came back from visiting a friend and passed by Zhou Jing's car and said this.

Zhou Jing smiled and said, "When will you come back?"

"I came back yesterday."

"I came back at around 6 o'clock. The underground garage of Zhou Jing's villa is so luxurious. There are Rolls-Royces, Maybachs, and Bentleys that dazzle people. Audi A7 and BMW Series are considered inferior."

Zhou Xing went to Zhou Jing's house in BJ not long ago and visited Zhou Jing's garage. He was almost blinded by the lights.

“How much did you buy the Rolls-Royce for?”

"More than six million, a good car is pleasing to the eyes. This Bentley is nearly four million. What do you think, uncle?"

Zhou Xing played the role of Zhou Jing's voice double.

"Nice car."

"."

After chatting for a while, Zhou Guozhong arrived after the old man and the old lady came down. Zhou Jing held the child and walked in front with Gu Jia, leaving them to carry the things behind.

“We are all preparing to sell dates this year.”

Gu Jia said as she looked at the jujube field that was overgrown with weeds in previous years but is now clean and tidy.

"If you don't work hard in this kind of business where you just give away money, you deserve to be poor."

Zhou Jing can only help his fellow villagers to this extent. It is impossible to give money directly as that will breed laziness. You have to be destined to reap the fruits of others' labor. If you are not destined to do so, you will just have to work hard.

"Dad, look~"

The little girl pointed with her little hand at the chirping birds on the jujube tree.

"It's a bird. Do you want to fly like a bird?"

Zhou Jing paused and said.

"Hmm~qiuqiu~"

The little girl waved to the bird on the branch.

“Fly like a bird and see if you can fly.”

Gu Jia waved his arms and said.

The little girl followed and waved her arms, "Daddy, fly~"

"Dad can't fly either. Birds have wings so they can fly, but we humans don't have wings and can't fly."

"Why don't we have air bladders?"

The little girl spoke unskillfully and stammered.

"We can't grow wings, just like birds can't grow hands like us."

Facing a child of that age who was asking a hundred thousand questions, even the knowledgeable Zhou Jing couldn't explain it clearly.

The little girl looked confused, staring at the branch with her big watery eyes and said, "qiuqiu flew~"

"Zhou Zhou is also flying."

Zhou Jing held the child in his arms, letting her feel the sensation of flying. The little girl danced with joy.

"Come down and walk by yourself."

When they arrived at the yard, Gu Jia put the child down from Zhou Jing's arms. The yard was very flat. The little girl walked around and looked around. She heard a dog barking in the yard. She shouted "Wangwang" and pulled Zhou Jing to go see the dog.

Zhou Jing took the little girl to see it. When they arrived at the yard, the tied dog was wagging its tail quickly and humming.

"Wangwang~ Daddy, are you hungry?"

The little girl barked like a dog.

"No, it misses us and is wagging its tail to welcome us."

After looking at the dog and the chicken, Zhou Jing took the child back to the house.

"Is BJ's home better or is this home better?"

Gu Jia poured hot water from the thermos to wash her face. Looking at her daughter jumping and skipping as she stepped over the threshold, Gu Jia felt very emotional. When she came back for the first time during National Day last year, the child could barely walk, but now she can run, act coquettishly and complain.

"Hello, Mom and Dad~"

The little girl doesn’t know where home is, she only knows her parents, and she lives wherever her parents are.

"Zhou Zhou is so sensible. Come here, mommy will wash your face for you."

Gu Jia washed the towel and said.

Speaking of washing her face, the little girl dodged reluctantly, and Gu Jia caught up with her to wash it for her, "If you don't wash your stinky face, don't let your mother kiss you."

Reluctantly washing her face, the little girl squatted on the ground, opened a cabinet drawer and rummaged through it. The child had reached the age where she could rummage through boxes and drawers, so Zhou Jing was always paying attention. He checked whether there were any dangerous items in the cabinets and drawers that the child could reach, and put all the things that might cause harm to the child out of the child's reach.

"Wash your face while I look after Zhou Zhou. Can't you just stay still for a while?"

Gu Jia washed her face and said to Zhou Jing, then walked behind the child and gently kicked him on the butt.

The little girl said nothing as she rummaged through the drawer.

The old lady had almost prepared dinner. They would have chicken noodle soup in the evening and she had killed a chicken specially for that.

When you return to the countryside to look after your children, you have to be more careful. The kang in your hometown is connected to the stove and the pot, and it would be very dangerous if the child accidentally falls into the pot. Therefore, Zhou Jing’s main task when returning to his hometown is to look after the children. He also holds the children in his arms during meals to prevent them from running around.

"Be good and sit down and eat with daddy."

Gu Jia tore off two large pieces of meat from the chicken leg given to her by the old lady and put them into Zhou Jing's bowl.

"Ah~"

The little girl opened her mouth wide towards Zhou Jing.

Zhou Jing tore the chicken into small pieces and fed the child. The little girl sat beside Zhou Jing obediently, smacking her lips and playing with the toy in her hand.

"Does Zhou Bo still need my car as a wedding car for his wedding?"

Zhou Jing said to the old man.

The old man said: "If you have time, use your car as the lead car. If you are not busy, choose one from other cars as the lead car."

"There will be time when you come back."

Now that Zhou Jing is back, he must be very busy. His car will be the first car to share in the good luck. In a family, there is no distinction between status and no distinction between the two.

The old man said, "Then I'll call your uncle's house after dinner."

"It must be troublesome to hold a wedding in the countryside, right?"

Gu Jia had never attended a rural wedding, but the thought of it making her feel troublesome.

"It looks troublesome, but it's actually not as troublesome as you might think. There are many people helping out in the countryside, and each of them has their own duties. The host just needs to hold up the scene."

Zhou Jing said with a smile.

"Yes, one advantage of doing things in the countryside is that there are many helpers, unlike in the city where you can't even find a helper."

The year before last, Gu Jia and Zhou Jing came back to have a banquet together. Although it seemed messy, the tasks of the people helping were very clear. Some were responsible for making fire, some were responsible for water, and some were responsible for serving dishes. It was very organized.

"How much do we give as a gift?"

Zhou Jing said that in his hometown, those who are not married do not need to give a separate gift, but those who are married must give a separate gift.

"Your grandmother and I will give 1,000 yuan, your parents 500 yuan, and according to etiquette, you will give 200 yuan. It's up to you to decide. You don't need to discuss this with others."

The old man knew that two hundred yuan was not enough for his grandson. It would be too cheap for a big boss who drove a car worth more than three million yuan to give two hundred yuan. Generally, the gift money in the hometown is unified according to seniority and the closeness of the relationship. If a family is not unified, it will attract gossip from others. But no one will say anything since his grandson is so rich.

"Then we'll take one thousand."

Zhou Jing would definitely feel embarrassed to take out two hundred yuan.

The old man said, "Okay, don't tell others how much you're going to give when they discuss it with you."

"I know."

Zhou Jing understood that he couldn’t raise the standards for himself and ask others to pay more.
