Rebirth: Starting from a Trainee Teacher

Chapter 745 Little Cotton Jacket Forbids Zhou Jing from Smoking

When they arrived in Sui County, they got off the highway and took the national road. It was still early, so when they arrived at Sui County, Zhou Jing asked Gu Jia if she wanted to take a walk.

"No more. The mutton offal in Sui County is pretty good. I'm not hungry at all now. I should just make some rice for Zhou Zhou at noon."

Gu Jia came to Sui County with her best friend a few years ago, but there was nothing fun to do there.

"Then we won't go into the city."

Zhou Jing changed lanes and entered the ring road, filled up the gas at a gas station, and drove for more than an hour to Qing County.

Zhou Guozhong and Wu Suqin have already returned to the countryside. Zhou Jing stopped the car in Qing County and went to his uncle's pancake shop to deliver some things back to the countryside. People who were away from home returned home one after another. The usually deserted village began to become lively as the New Year approached.

"The big boss is back?"

Villagers on the country road recognized Zhou Jing's car and stopped to say hello.

"Uncle, I'll give you a ride."

When he met an acquaintance, Zhou Jing stopped the car and offered him a cigarette.

"No, I still need to go up there to buy some mutton. How much money did you make this year?"

"Not much. The more money we make, the more expenses our company will have."

Zhou Jing was afraid that he might scare the villagers if he told them, so he chatted with them for a few minutes and then drove away.

"Does Zhou Zhou still remember Grandpa and Grandma's house?"

As they were almost at the old man’s house, Gu Jia rolled down the window and looked outside and said.

"Moo!"

Seeing the yellow cattle in the cornfield on the dam, the little girl looked at the cattle and screamed.

"Do you like Niuniu?"

Gu Jia put the hat on the child and said.

"Yes, I also like cats, Wangwang, ducks, and rabbits."

The little girl cheered happily.

"Have you seen grandpa and grandma?"

Gu Jia patted the child's butt and said.

"There! Grandma!"

The little girl pointed at the people at the dam intersection and shouted, "Children will be close to whoever they coax the most." When she saw Wu Suqin, the little girl shouted excitedly.

"I miss grandma so much. Does Zhou Zhou miss grandma?"

After the car stopped, Wu Suqin opened the door, picked up the child and got out and said.

"Yes, grandma, I want to ride in that car!"

The little girl couldn't take her eyes off the old man's tricycle. The tricycle was more attractive to the child than the luxury car at home.

"You can't sit now. Wait until you get home."

Wu Suqin carried the child to the roadside.

"Is Jiajia cold?"

The old lady held Gu Jia's hand and asked about her well-being.

"It's not cold. I wore very warm clothes when I came back." Gu Jia pinched her clothes and said, "The air in the countryside is still fresh. I feel refreshed after entering the village."

Wu Suqin said, "It's just that winter is too desolate. Are there many cars on the road today?"

"There are quite a lot of them, both expressways and national roads, you can get off and walk on your own."

Gu Jia put the child in Wu Suqin's arms on the ground.

"Jing is back."

My third uncle, who was grazing cattle in the dam, came out from the mouth of the ditch and said.

"Well, you don't have to release them these days. You've worked hard for a year and need to take a good rest. Has Uncle San stored any fodder at home?"

Zhou Jing took a box of cigarettes from the car and handed it to his uncle.

"Yes, I have nothing to do so I can just go out for a walk. I'll feed the cows at home tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. Raising a few cows is much easier than farming."

Uncle San said happily.

Zhou Jing smiled and said, "Farming in our area is the most unreliable. We completely depend on the weather. How much can we earn this year?"

"Not long ago, I sold two big bulls and two small bulls for a total of about 30,000 yuan, and bought a cow for more than 9,000 yuan."

The cows of Uncle San's family were given by Zhou Jing's poverty alleviation project, and the cowshed was also reimbursed by Zhou Jing's poverty alleviation project. Zhou Jing said: "Keep the cows that have given birth. There are still some risks in buying cows to raise yourself. When raising cattle, you need to understand the symptoms of cattle being sick, and find a veterinarian when necessary."

"I know a little about this. I've read books on raising livestock when I was herding sheep."

"."

After chatting for a while at the dam mouth, Zhou Jing took a bottle of wine and a cigarette from the car and gave them to his third uncle, then picked up the child and went back to his grandfather's house. The old man's house and other houses at the bottom of the slope looked brand new. In the past, the dates could not be sold and the date fields were full of weeds. This year, the factory donated by Zhou Jing purchased local red dates, and they cleaned up the date fields.

The old lady asked with concern: "How is the income of the jujube factory in Jingyu City this year?"

"Sales are pretty good."

Zhou Jing thought that the factory only had good sales, not great profits, but could guarantee not to lose money. Zhou Jing's original intention was to create income for local farmers by setting up a non-profit factory, and as long as it did not make a loss, it would be a success.

Gu Jia asked, "Is there anyone in the village who is having difficulties this year?"

The old lady said: "There are always people who can't help themselves. Some people gamble or drink when they have money. In order to prevent gambling, the village committee closed all the chess and card rooms and banned gambling in the village."

"It's no use shutting them down. If they're not allowed to gamble in the village, they'll go to the town or the county to gamble."

Zhou Guozhong knew that kind of people very well. If they were not so spendthrift, they would not have been poor for decades. Rural people do not have much money to gamble, and it is not uncommon for city people to lose their houses and cars in gambling.

"I'm afraid that my good intentions will lead to bad consequences, and my family will be torn apart."

Gu Jia felt sorry for Zhou Jing but there was nothing she could do. Adults choose their own paths, so if they can't do anything, just let them suffer. Gu Jia was glad that Zhou Jing didn't have those bad hobbies. He was worth hundreds of billions but didn't have any bad habits that would ruin his family.

“For some people, poverty is destiny, for others, it’s a disease.”

Zhou Jing said indifferently.

"really."

"Zhou Jing's daughter is already this big, come here and let your uncle hug her."

"Is Zhou Jing's company on holiday?"

"The boss probably didn't let the employee go."

People on the street greeted Zhou Jing's child, but the little girl just hugged Zhou Jing's legs and remained indifferent.

"The company will set off a group of cigarettes tomorrow. Let's give cigarettes to grandpa and uncles."

Zhou Jing took out a cigarette and gave it to the child.

"Dad can't smoke, he'll get sick!"

The little girl remembered clearly what Gu Jia taught her not to let Zhou Jing smoke or drink, so she slammed the cigarette to the ground, as if she was forbidding Zhou Jing to smoke.

"Daddy doesn't smoke."

Zhou Jing smiled and picked up the cigarette and scattered it among himself.

Gu Jia looked at her daughter and smiled without saying anything. Having a daughter like this made her feel less worried.

"You are so young and yet you know how to take care of your father. You are really your father's little cotton-padded jacket."

"Doesn't Zhou Jing usually smoke one?"

"Don't smoke."

Zhou Jing shook his head. In the past, when he met with classmates or returned to his hometown, he would take a cigarette handed to him by others just to pretend to smoke. Now he doesn't pretend anymore and just passes out cigarettes without smoking them.

"good habits."

"I don't smoke or drink. Does that mean I only make money and don't spend it?"

“You can save money by not spending it.”

Zhou Jing didn't want to show off his wealth. The monthly expenses of his family of three were greater than the annual expenses of the entire village. Even though Zhou Jing didn't spend much, he still spent more than 30 million this year.

"I think Zhou Jing spent more on others than on himself. He spent tens of millions on our county alone."

“This is a conscientious boss.”

"."

I didn't feel a sense of accomplishment when I heard neighbors praising Zhou Jing. Most of the people in my hometown are uneducated, and they described Zhou Jing, the owner of a Fortune 500 technology company and a leader in artificial intelligence, as if he were a rich coal boss.

"Woof woof woof, daddy, let's go see the dogs!"

Hearing the old man's dog barking, the little girl pulled Zhou Jing's finger and went to the yard on the left.

"Let your father rest for a while before watching."

Gu Jia said as she looked at the child who was full of energy all day long.

Zhou Jing first accompanied the children to see the dog, and took the opportunity to report his safety to Yang Wenwen and Chen Jiaqian.
