Rebirth: Starting from a Trainee Teacher

Chapter 111 Mother Gu's Attitude
"Mom asked Hui Fei, and she said you were dating a colleague. Tell me the truth, how far have you two progressed?"

While Gu's mother was curious, she thought that after understanding the situation, she could find an opportunity to help her daughter.

"Nothing."

Gu Jia hasn’t figured out how to tell her family yet, and there’s no hope at all now.

"Why shouldn't you be embarrassed to tell mom about this? Tell mom now."

Mother Gu held her daughter's hand and urged.

"Don't listen to their nonsense, he's just an ordinary colleague." Gu Jia hesitated and stammered, "He was a student I taught before. He was admitted to university through the college entrance examination in 06 and came back here to be a teacher this year."

"Because of our past relationship, I usually get closer to him. How could it be that kind of relationship?"

Gu Jia added a sentence to test her mother's attitude.

If there is any development between Gu Jia and Zhou Jing, the family will know about it sooner or later.

"Is that so?" After such a false happiness, Gu's mother's eager heart cooled down. She sighed heavily and asked, "How old is he this year?"

"21."

Gu Jia answered truthfully.

"They are not even of legal marriage age."

It's fine that they are teacher and student, but there is also a six-year age difference. Mother Gu's heart is completely cold. She suddenly remembered that her daughter asked her some time ago what would happen if there was a six-year age difference. Could it be...
"Jia Jia, are you going out with him on weekends?"

"Don't think too much. We're just having a meal together. It's the guy named Zhou who gave you the key last time."

Gu Jia continued to test her mother.

But Gu Jia's blushing face betrayed her inner feelings. Gu's mother naturally noticed the change in her daughter's expression. It seemed that what her daughter's best friend said was not groundless.

this.
Mother Gu didn't know what to say for a moment. This kind of thing was indeed a bit embarrassing.

But then again, my daughter is so pretty, it's not surprising that the boys in her class like her. It can be said that it's immature for students to like each other when they are in high school, but if they are still in love after graduating from college, it means they are serious. Now that they are colleagues, it's normal for them to develop feelings for each other after getting to know each other better. Feelings are very complicated, but also very simple, it's just about whether each other likes you or not.

"It's not a big deal that you're already old. You're a good guy. If possible, you can just change jobs. You can also go to Tangdu for development. It's not difficult for you to find a job."

If you calm down and think about it carefully, if the other party really likes your daughter, Mother Gu will definitely not object.

Gu's mother had a good impression of Zhou Jing.

After hearing what her mother said, Gu Jia felt relieved. If she could pass this hurdle with her mother, it would reduce a lot of resistance.

Mother Gu closed the window, sat next to her daughter and whispered, "Jia Jia, you haven't been waiting for him these years, have you?"

"How is that possible? If he hadn't come back to be a teacher, we wouldn't have had any contact for three years."

"If you two are willing, Mom won't object, but you have to be careful. He will graduate from college next year and he's only 22. You can't wait. Let's see what his attitude is after he graduates from college next year."

Mother Gu could only point out the issue, she could neither oppose nor fully support it.

"I said that's not the case."

Gu Jia was both upset and shy, so she laid down on the pillow and looked at her phone.

Mother Gu was also upset. Her daughter really caused problems for the family. Given her daughter's temper, once she made up her mind, nothing could change her mind.

"Silly girl, this isn't something unorthodox in today's society."

Gu's mother was worried that her daughter liked the couple but couldn't get over it.

Gu Jia looked at the phone and stopped talking.

Mother Gu sighed. She could see that her daughter was really upset, so she stopped disturbing her and comforted her with a few words before going home.

After her mother passed away, Gu Jia's whole world became quiet, but her worries did not decrease. She became even more upset when she thought about various practical problems, so she turned on her phone to listen to music.

"You said you loved someone you shouldn't have loved, and your heart is full of scars"

Gu Jia turned over and began to hum along with the music on her cell phone.

"Hello, Auntie, are you here to see Teacher Gu?"

After Zhou Jing finished his meal and returned to the dormitory, he met Mother Gu on the playground and said politely.

"Oh yeah, Teacher Zhou, long time no see. Have you had dinner?"

The somewhat depressed mother Gu immediately perked up when she saw the young man.

"Just ate." "How does Xiao Zhou feel about being a teacher?"

Mother Gu asked with a kind look.

"good."

Zhou Jing nodded.

"Jia Jia, Teacher Gu occasionally mentions you, saying that you used to have a very good teacher-student relationship, and this year you have become colleagues. When talking about you, a student who has now become a teacher, Teacher Gu is always very proud."

Mother Gu looked at the young man with a smile.

"Teacher Gu is my benefactor. She saved my English in my senior year of high school, which gave me the opportunity to be admitted to my ideal university. This year, I can return to my alma mater to teach, thanks to Teacher Gu."

Zhou Jing said warmly and politely.

"As a teacher, it's only natural for me to help my students. You're wearing very thin clothes. Are you cold?"

Mother Gu pinched the young man's arm and said.

"It's not cold. I'm wearing thermal underwear underneath."

"You must take good care of yourself when the weather gets cold. Teacher Gu is not young anymore but I am always worried about her. Xiao Zhou is the class teacher, so take care of her more when you have the chance."

Gu's mother deliberately said a lot of things to express her attitude to the boy implicitly. No matter what, Gu's mother could not be a roadblock and should minimize the difficulties between her daughter and the boy.

"It should be, don't worry, Auntie."

Zhou Jing nodded repeatedly.

"Then don't bother Teacher Xiao Zhou for now. Come to Auntie's house when you have time."

"Okay, bye, Auntie."

Zhou Jing stood there and watched Gu's mother pass by before turning around.

Mother Gu looked back and thought that this young man was indeed good. At such a young age, his speech and behavior were much more mature and stable than those of his peers. As long as she didn't mind that her daughter was six years older, their personalities should be quite compatible.

[I just met Xiao Zhou on the road, he is indeed a nice guy]

Gu's mother sent a text message to her daughter, telling her that she really would not object to the development of their relationship.

[You're not talking nonsense, are you?]

How could Gu Jia not know whether the boy is good or not?

Mother Gu: [Your mother, I know my limits]

After being in a daze for a while, Gu Jia opened the group chat with her best friends and explained Zhou Jing's true situation to them so that they could have better advice.

Zhao Minjuan: [21 years old? It’s exciting just thinking about it]

Hui Fei and Zhang Rui also showed surprised expressions. Although they had never joked with Gu Jia before, they didn't expect Gu Jia to be serious.

[It’s nothing, I just think he’s grown up and mature, I didn’t take it seriously]

Gu Jia was embarrassed to continue.

Zhang Rui: [Why not consider it? It’s such a good opportunity. You are not a child anymore. What is available in today’s society?]

Hui Fei: [Yes, as long as we like each other, a six-year age difference doesn’t matter. Jiajia, be brave. When the time comes, change your job and stop being a teacher and you can be like a normal couple.]

Zhao Minjuan: [I envy Jiajia so much]

If Gu Jia and the boy were really together, the three best friends would find it interesting. Even if they couldn't end up together, it would be worth it to be a teacher.

Zhou Jing returned to the dormitory and turned on his computer to write a novel. He only realized that class was about to start when he heard the campus bell ring.

As there was not enough time, Zhou Jing simply stopped going to the classroom. It was okay to "absent from work" occasionally, so he continued to write his novel. He only showed up in the classroom when the second class was about to start, and then went to the office.

The class representative handed in his math error notebook. Zhou Jing flipped through it and found that most students were quite serious.

[CC has a fever, I'm going back to see him, can you help me watch the third shift? ]

Yang Wenwen was restless after receiving a call from her mother. After thinking it over, she decided to go back and check on her and send a message to Zhou Jing.

[Teacher Yang, go ahead and rest assured. Call me anytime if you have any questions.]
