Rebirth: Starting from a Trainee Teacher

Chapter 693: Meaningless Suspicion

"Dad is back~"

Hearing the door open, the children playing in the living room immediately got up and ran towards the door.

"I miss you so much." Zhou Jing put down his things, picked up the child, kissed him and said, "Are you still angry with your father?"

"Huh~ Dad doesn't love me~"

The little girl's happy face immediately fell and she looked angry.

"How could Daddy not love you? Give Daddy a smile."

Zhou Jing pinched his daughter's angry face. As they grow older, children become more and more emotional. When Zhou Jing was on a business trip and couldn't come home, the little girl first acted coquettishly and asked Zhou Jing to go home, and then cried. If Zhou Jing still didn't go home, she would get angry.

"Then why don't you come home to see me~"

The little girl complained in a baby voice.

"Dad has earned a little money to buy you some delicious food. Do you want to eat it now?"

Zhou Jing looked at the child and said.

"Hmm~"

The little girl has a greedy mouth.

"Then give dad another kiss."

Zhou Jing put his face in front of the child. The little girl hugged Zhou Jing's neck, kissed him, and then wiped her mouth on Zhou Jing's face.

"You complain about mom this and that. You still need mom to coax you when your dad is not around. Didn't you say this morning that you would ignore dad and only be nice to mom? Are you no longer angry with your dad so soon?"

Gu Jia looked at the child and said.

"Dad admitted his mistake~"

How could the little girl be really angry? Seeing Zhou Jing come home made her happier than anything else.

"It's really Dad's little cotton-padded jacket."

Zhou Jing opened the bag, took out the cakes he bought in Suzhou, and gave a piece of mung bean cake to the child.

"Mom wants to eat it too. Give it to mom to try."

Gu Jia came up to the child and said.

The little girl nibbled the mung bean cake and passed it to Gu Jia. Gu Jia took a small bite and said, "You are so useless that you were coaxed into submission by your father with a piece of mung bean cake."

"Not just one piece, but so many!"

Zhou Jing missed his daughter very much after not seeing her for a few days. When the child called him on the phone, Zhou Jing was eager to go home.

"Dad, you have to come home from now on~"

The little girl was munching on the cake with a very happy look on her face.

"Dad won't not come home."

Zhou Jing gave the child to Gu Jia and went to the bedroom to change clothes. While changing clothes, he took out his spare mobile phone and looked at the messages from Chen Jiaqian and Yang Wenwen. After hesitating for a moment, he turned off the phone, changed his clothes and went to the first floor to eat.

“Is the crab roe noodle delicious?”

Gu Jia had never eaten crab roe noodles, but she saw Zhou Jing eating crab roe noodles online and it looked delicious.

"It's not as good as noodles with soybean paste. Let's go to Suzhou to try it next time."

Zhou Jing was used to the northern diet, and when he went to some places in the south he didn't know what to eat.

Gu Jia wanted to go too, but she couldn't go far because of her child. She took half a mooncake and said, "Try the mooncake I made."

"good."

Zhou Jing said after eating.

"There's not enough meat in the dish. Eat some spareribs."

Mother Gu cooked noodles and served them to Zhou Jing, and then brought the hot braised pork ribs to the table.

"Mom, go and have a rest. I'll wash the dishes later."

Gu Jia sat next to Zhou Jing and said while holding the child.

"Daddy, feed me~"

The little girl opened her mouth wide towards Zhou Jing.

"What did Zhou Zhou eat in the evening?"

Zhou Jing picked up a piece of pork ribs and fed it to the child and said.

"Mianmian~ Mom won't let me fight grandma~"

The child smacked his lips, swung his feet and kicked Zhou Jing's legs, complaining to his face.

"Zhou Zhou has grown up and can't eat grandma anymore. Your mother has become thinner."

Zhou Jing held the child's chubby feet and said.

"You only know how to complain about your mother. Whose child is almost three years old and still drinks his mother's milk?"

Gu Jia has been weaning her child off breastfeeding for more than two months but the child is still not completely weaned. Being a mother is really not easy.

"But I'm still young~"

"I'm not a kid anymore. I can eat with adults. Isn't powdered milk better than mother's milk?"

Gu Jia looked at the child and said.

"You can continue to eat it after your mother gives birth to a brother or sister for you."

Zhou Jing picked up a piece of noodles and fed it to the child.

"As a sister, you can't bully your younger brothers and sisters."

After Zhou Jing finished eating, Gu Jia went to wash the dishes.

Zhou Jing took the child to the bedroom to play. The bedroom was full of children's toys and there were all kinds of dolls on the bed. It was like a girl's dream paradise. Zhou Jing lay flat on the bed and amused the child with a furry toy.

"Ah woo~"

The little girl nudged the doll with her face and lay on Zhou Jing's face acting coquettishly.

"Why are your socks torn again?"

Zhou Jing was about to take off the child's socks, and poked the hole at the thumb of the child's socks and said.

"It was bitten by a duck~"

The little girl hooked her fingers on the holes in her socks and pulled them.

"A duck won't bite your stinky feet. Did you scratch them like this?"

Zhou Jing pulled the child's toes out of the hole in the socks, pinched them and said.

"Ho~"

The little girl pinched the socks and pulled them down with all her strength.

"Stinky feet."

Zhou Jing took off the child's socks and kissed the child's feet, then picked up a picture book to teach the child to recognize objects.

After Gu Jia washed the dishes, it was getting late. She returned to the bedroom and took the child to wash her face. The little girl asked Zhou Jing to wash her face. Gu Jia pretended to be angry and said, "Don't you want your mother now that your father is back?"

"Dad, it feels so good to take a shower~"

"How about letting dad wash you from now on, and you wash yourself when dad is not around?"

Gu Jia patted the child's butt and said.

The little girl crawled to Zhou Jing mischievously, and was taken away by Gu Jia. After washing the child, Gu Jia asked Zhou Jing to coax her to sleep while she went to take a bath.

"It's time to go to bed. Early to bed and early to rise will keep you healthy. Did you sleep well when dad wasn't home?"

Zhou Jing made the bed for the child and put on a diaper for him.

"Good luck~ I'm so good~"

The child lay down consciously, hugged Zhou Jing's arm and pretended to sleep, squinting his eyes to peek. Zhou Jing pretended more convincingly and closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep.

"Dad~"

After squinting his eyes and taking a few peeks, he saw the little girl lying in front of Zhou Jing, moving around mischievously.

"If I don't sleep, my mother will be angry again."

Zhou Jing held the child down and patted her back gently.

"But I can't follow you. Mom is angry and dad wants to protect me~"

"I, your father, can't protect myself. This house is your mother's territory. Close your eyes. Xiaoguang, turn off the lights."

Zhou Jing blew on the child's eyes and turned off the smart desk lamp.

There was no light at all from behind the bed curtains, it was pitch black. The little girl clumsily crawled into the adult's quilt and started playing hide-and-seek. Zhou Jing had no idea what to do with her.

"What are you waiting for?"

Gu Jia said after coming out of the shower.

"I'm following you!"

Hearing Gu Jia's voice, the little girl returned to her bed. "Your mother is not as easy to talk to as your father."

Zhou Jing got up and took a shower.

"If you don't go to sleep, I'll send you to grandma and don't disturb dad and mom's rest."

Gu Jia lifted the bed curtain and sat on the edge of the bed and said.

After hearing what Gu Jia said, the child calmed down and said in a baby voice, "I'm scared, mommy comforts me."

The bedroom was too dark and the little girl didn't dare to sleep alone.

"If you are obedient, mom will coax you."

Gu Jia covered the child with a quilt, lay down and coaxed him to sleep.

The next day was the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday and Zhou Jing didn't have to go to work. He didn't rush to get up when he woke up, but played with his children until around nine o'clock.

It is about to enter the end of September, and the autumn atmosphere is getting stronger in BJ. It is raining outside, and the autumn rain is drizzling. When I open the window, I can't feel the breath of summer, only the coolness of the autumn rain.

"Autumn is here, the leaves are turning yellow, remember when autumn ends?"

After dressing the child, Zhou Jing carried him to the balcony eaves to let the child enjoy the rainy day.

"Winter~"

The little girl held her hands out to get wet in the rain.

"Baby is so smart."

After it got cooler outside for a while, Zhou Jing took the child to the first floor. Gu Jia and her mother were cooking. Zhou Jing turned on the TV and watched the news while playing with the child. Taking care of the child was Zhou Jing's main task when he was not at work.

"Are you going to pick up Yuanyuan or should I?"

The ingredients are ready, said Gu Jia.

"I go."

Zhou Jing changed his shoes, took the key to the Maybach and went out. On the way, he called Chen Jiaqian and Yang Wenwen respectively.

Yang Wenwen has been very conflicted recently. She has accepted being Zhou Jing's lover in her heart, but she is worried that Gu Jia cannot accept it. A few days ago in Tangdu, Zhou Jing said that he would explain to Gu Jia. Yang Wenwen was both looking forward to it and worried. She looked forward to Gu Jia allowing Zhou Jing to accompany her occasionally, but she was worried that Gu Jia would find it difficult to accept and have conflicts with Zhou Jing. On the phone, Yang Wenwen once again tried to make Zhou Jing give up this risky idea and pretend that what happened before had never happened.

"Without you I feel like nothing matters."

How could Zhou Jing give up? He was still thinking that one day Gu Jia and Yang Wenwen could become sisters with one heart!

Yang Wenwen was helpless as she couldn't convince Zhou Jing.

"I was planning to take a taxi here. Are you busy during the holidays?"

Outside the gate of Central Finance University, Wu Yuan folded her umbrella and got into the car and said.

"Not busy, are you going home for National Day?"

Zhou Jing looked in the rearview mirror and slowly started off.

Wu Yuan said: "My classmate will come to BJ on the 11th."

"Take advantage of the time and opportunity to travel more during college. Even after work, you may not have the time to go out."

It was raining heavily, the windshield wipers were on, and Zhou Jing was driving slowly.

"My two roommates want to go to Tangdu to climb Mount Huashan. When is the best time to go there?"

Wu Yuan also wanted to see more, but she didn't find any suitable travel companions.

Zhou Jing said: "In summer, there are too many people on May Day. You can go anytime during the summer vacation. You need to be well prepared to climb Huashan. If you don't climb often, you need to rest for three or four days each time. It would be a pity if you don't go once. Once you go, you will never want to go again. It will be better to exercise more a few days before climbing to stretch your muscles."

"I exercise less and less after the military training in my freshman year. Do you think high scores in CET-4 and CET-6 are important?"

Wu Yuan likes to play badminton and other things, but her roommates are either taking postgraduate entrance exams or taking certification exams, so she doesn’t even have anyone to play with.

Zhou Jing said: "It's useful for people who are not good at speaking."

"I can't do the college entrance examination. What's the point of getting high scores in CET-4 and CET-6 if I can't speak well in college?"

Wu Yuan found it difficult to understand. She felt that passing the CET-4 and CET-6 was enough and there was no need to review in depth to pursue high scores.

"Don't underestimate the ability to take exams. The ability to take exams is a reflection of learning ability and can prove whether a person is willing to learn. Companies like people who are willing to learn."

Zhou Jing used to have the same question as his cousin, but he only understood this after he became his own boss.

"Well, brother is worthy of being the boss."

Wu Yuan thought about it carefully and realized this was the truth. She passed the driver's test this year and had not originally planned to review for the Level 6 test, but it seemed she had to review after all.

When they got home, the meal was not ready yet, so Zhou Jing took out a mooncake and asked his cousin to taste it. "It's your sister-in-law's cooking."

"Sister-in-law is so amazing."

Wu Yuan said while eating.

"Has your class distributed Mid-Autumn Festival benefits?"

Gu Jia came out of the kitchen and said with a smile.

"Everyone gets two mooncakes and an apple. They're not free. They're bought with class funds."

"Every school is like this."

It was not suitable to go out on a rainy day. After dinner, Gu Jia coaxed the child to take a nap, and Zhou Jing turned on the theater to watch a movie with his cousin. They chose a 3D movie, and Zhou Jing took out two pairs of polarized glasses and gave one to his cousin.

“You can even watch 3D movies at home!”

Wu Yuan once again refreshed her cognition. The life of rich people is unimaginable for ordinary people. She can enjoy a cinema-like experience at home.

"The screen is a bit small for watching 3D movies."

Zhou Jing said with a smile.

After Gu Jia coaxed the child to sleep, they watched a movie together. Watching a movie at home during the holidays is equivalent to shopping. After the movie ended, Zhou Jing went to the bedroom to see the child, and Gu Jia went to the kitchen to cook for the child. After feeding the child, Zhou Jing and Gu Jia played with the child on the bed, listening to the sound of rain outside and the cheerful voices of the children in the house. The world seemed very quiet.

"Wang Ying is finally getting married. Which one looks better, this wedding dress or our photos?"

Gu Jia opened the electronic wedding invitation sent by her cousin Wang Ying and said.

"Whether it looks good or not depends on the bride. Chinese style looks better, what do you think?"

Zhou Jing likes the red Xiuhe dress with flesh-colored stockings the most, which perfectly combines the beauty and sexiness of a Chinese bride.

“The Chinese style has more texture.”

Gu Jia looked back at the wedding photo hanging on the wall behind the bed, opened the bedside drawer and took out the photo album.

The album contains all the wedding photos of Zhou Jing and Gu Jia. More than three years have passed unknowingly. Gu Jia looks back at the wedding photos. At that time, Gu Jia was 29 years old and Zhou Jing was only 23 years old. Gu Jia felt like she had kidnapped a handsome guy.

"Dad, Mom~"

The child squeezed in front of the two of them and pointed at the photo.

"Look how beautiful mom is. Isn't mom beautiful?"

Gu Jia handed the photo to the child and said.

"Hmm~"

The little girl snatched the album and looked through it herself.

On a rainy autumn day, the family of three stayed at home in bed and felt very comfortable. After looking at the photo album, Zhou Jing and Gu Jia taught the children to play games.

The Mid-Autumn Festival holiday was a three-day holiday, and the Sunday after the holiday was a holiday for the National Day. The holiday made people feel that time passed more hurriedly. September ended quickly and the Golden Week of October 1st came.
During the National Day, Zhou Jing did not go back to his hometown, but accompanied Gu Jia to Tangdu to attend Wang Ying's wedding.

On October 1st, Zhou Jing's family of three and Gu's mother flew back to Tangdu. The road from BJ to Tangdu was too far and neither the children nor Gu's mother could bear to drive.

Cousin Wu Hao went to his girlfriend's house for the holiday, so Zhou Jing asked her best friend Bai to pick him up at the airport.

Zhou Jing asked Bai's best friend to buy an Audi A8 for Gu Jia to use in Tangdu. Bai Xiyao drove the Audi A8 to the airport. After meeting, Bai Xiyao first greeted Gu's mother and Gu Jia, and then played with the child.

"Do you remember your godmother? Call her godmother."

Gu Jia held the child in front of Bai Xiyao and said.

"Godmother~"

The little girl looked very well behaved when looking at Bai Xiyao.

"Zhou Zhou is so cute."

Bai Xiyao was not very good at coaxing children, so she held the little girl's hand and said.

"I'll drive."

Zhou Jing put the things in the trunk and said to her best friend Bai who was about to get in the car.

"Then Teacher Gu will sit in the front."

Bai Xiyao did not insist and said to Gu Jia.

"It's more convenient for me to sit in the back with my child."

Gu Jia asked Bai Xiyao to sit in the passenger seat. It would be a lie for Gu Jia to say that she completely trusted Bai Xiyao, a girl who had been Zhou Jing's high school buddy, and started an e-commerce store with him and became Zhou Jing's right-hand man. However, it was meaningless for Gu Jia to trust or doubt. The company could not do without Bai Xiyao. Even for Zhou Jing's career, he could do without Gu Jia but not Bai Xiyao.

Even if she suspected that Zhou Jing and Bai Xiyao had an impure relationship, Gu Jia would not be so selfish as to let Bai Xiyao leave Zhou Jing and the company, so Gu Jia tried her best not to think about the relationship between Zhou Jing and Bai Xiyao in that way.

"Third quarter financial report of Ideal Technology."

After fastening her seat belt, Bai Xiyao handed a file bag to Gu Jia behind her.

Zhou Jing glanced at the rearview mirror, observing Gu Jia's attitude towards Bai Xiyao.
