Rebirth: Starting from a Trainee Teacher

Chapter 177 The Storm After Returning Home

"I told you to stop showing off. Why did you drive so far after buying a new car?"

When Zhou Jing returned home, his mother Wu Suqin started to scold him as soon as they met, and raised her hand to slap Zhou Jing on the back twice.

Wu Suqin repeatedly warned the brat not to show off after buying a car, but the brat ended up driving all the way to the provincial capital alone right after buying the car. Wu Suqin has been worried every day these days.

"I had some business with my supervisor, so I changed the title of my paper."

Zhou Jing smiled and replied with a smile.

"Can't you call? Why don't you go after the New Year?"

Wu Suqin was still angry and had no mood to look at the things her son bought for her.

Knowing that his mother was really angry, Zhou Jing decided not to continue to irritate her with a frivolous smile.

"Okay, you're back now. It's almost New Year's Day, why are you making such a fuss? Go out and check Jing's car."

Zhou Guozhong originally wanted to say something to his son, but immediately held back.

"I'm not a novice anymore. I've often opened a classmate's car in the past six months."

Zhou Jing could understand his parents' feelings.

As the saying goes, a mother worries about her son even when he is a thousand miles away. His parents must be worried if their son just bought a car and drove hundreds of kilometers alone. Before Zhou Jing came back, he thought about facing his mother's storm.

"How can you write a novel if your Chinese is so bad?"

Wu Suqin calmed down. She didn't believe it at first. She thought the bastard borrowed money to buy a car and made an excuse that he made money by writing novels. So she asked her nephew who liked to read online novels to take a look.

"Poor test-taking ability, strong practical ability."

Zhou Jing was too lazy to explain, knowing that everyone who was bad at Chinese would ask him this question.

"How much money do you have left after buying the car?"

After seeing Zhou Jing's car, Wu Suqin quickly calmed down and became very proud. She sat in the passenger seat and let her son take her for a ride. Zhou Guozhong's face was also full of pride. He got in the car to feel it and found that his own car was indeed more comfortable to sit in.

"Enough to buy a house in Tangdu."

Zhou Jing didn't say the specific number, for fear that his parents would be too surprised.

"Don't show off anymore. It's hard to make money, and it's even harder to manage money. Don't spend all you earn."

Wu Suqin also did not plan to manage the accounts for her son.

"I know. I haven't bought any cars that are too expensive."

If Zhou Jing was a short-sighted spendthrift, he would definitely buy a Mercedes-Benz or a BMW.
Wu Suqin thought about it and it made sense. Her son was relatively mature and steady. Other children would be eager to buy luxury cars and show off.

"There are students in our class who have read your book."

Zhou Guozhong smiled and said.

"Will reading online novels mislead students?"

Wu Suqin felt that although it was good for her son to make money, a student who was obsessed with online novels had no interest in studying.

"You're overthinking it. Everyone has their own aspirations. Some students don't read online novels but play online games. There are also many hooligans who don't read books or play games. They not only delay themselves but also bring harm to others. In comparison, reading novels is much better."

Zhou Jing has seen all kinds of poor students, idle hooligans, internet-addicted teenagers obsessed with online games, and bookworms obsessed with online novels. In comparison, bookworms are much more normal. Even if online novels are low in nutrition, you can always learn something from reading them more.

"That's true."

Wu Suqin thought about it and realized that this was indeed the case. Compared to being addicted to online games and hanging out and fighting, reading novels made her feel much less troublesome.

"Today's online novels are like the martial arts novels of our time."

Zhou Guozhong was once very fascinated by martial arts novels. He even hid in bed at night and read with a flashlight. He read all the novels of Jin Yong, Gu Long, Liang Yusheng, Wen Ruian, Ni Kuang and others. He also dreamed of being a martial artist, but in the end he became a teacher.

"My driving skills are pretty steady, right?"

Zhou Jing drove his parents around the county aimlessly.

"It's better to be safe than sorry. It's definitely better to be careful. Don't rush when driving, especially when driving with big trucks. Stay away from them."

Her son must be tired after driving back from the provincial capital, so Wu Suqin let him go home after experiencing the new car.

On the 27th day of the twelfth lunar month, the streets of the small town were filled with the atmosphere of the New Year. There were lights and decorations everywhere, New Year goods everywhere, and fireworks and firecrackers everywhere on the streets. The New Year atmosphere was no worse than that in big cities. Zhou Jing was preparing to go back to his grandfather's house in the countryside for the New Year, and he was thinking about buying more fireworks when he went back.

After returning home, Zhou Jing took a shower, turned on his computer, posted novels, and replied to messages.

At home, the world seemed to be temporarily quiet, and it was rare to be truly quiet, but Zhou Jing couldn't help but miss Yang Wenwen, the gentle land, and Gu Jia, who was like moonlight. [CC Dongdong Uncle Zhou, Uncle Zhou]

There is news about Yang Wenwen on QQ.

Zhou Jing replied: [Baby, you miss me so much, do you miss me?]

After replying to Yang Wenwen, Zhou Jing then replied to Gu Jia: [Master, what are you doing?]

Zhou Jing was very careful, fearing that he would send it to the wrong person.

Yang Wenwen: [Yes]

Zhou Jing: [I just came back from my grandmother’s house today. The day after tomorrow I’m going to my grandfather’s house but my cell phone has no signal.]

Yang Wenwen: [There are many mountains over there, which blocks the signal]

"This bottle of wine and this pack of cigarettes were sent by Feng Yuhua two days ago."

Zhou Guozhong held a cigarette that his son bought between his fingers and pointed at the six-year-old Xifeng and Furong Wang cigarettes on the table.

"Isn't the gift a bit heavy?"

Wu Suqin thought that when her son came back, she would ask him to go to Feng Yuhua's house to retire.

"Just take it if it's sent to you! I'll go see Feng Minghai when I have time."

Cigarettes cost more than 14 yuan, and bottles of wine cost more than yuan. The gifts were indeed not light, but Zhou Jing also took a lot of care of Feng Yuhua. This kind of human relations cannot be measured by money. That time, because three boys from Class of Grade harassed Feng Yuhua, Zhou Jing dealt with them seriously. Although it was the duty of the class teacher, an ordinary class teacher might not be so serious.

"That's fine. What's Feng Yuhua's academic level in the class?"

Wu Suqin nodded.

"In the top five, she is good at English and math. She has great potential after the division of arts and science. If nothing unexpected happens, she will definitely be admitted to a 211 university."

If Feng Yuhua's grades weren't good, Zhou Jing would really feel embarrassed to accept his cigarettes and alcohol.

"This child has become much more cheerful."

Zhou Guozhong took a puff of cigarette and said.

"Some children are like this. If their parents are school teachers, the children will become more introverted."

Although Zhou Jing is not an introvert, he always felt unnatural in his father's class when he was in junior high school. He had the psychological pressure of being watched by his father all the time. He also had the pressure of studying, and was worried that he would embarrass his father if he did poorly on the exams.

"This pack of cigarettes costs about 600 or 700 yuan. What's the point?"

Wu Suqin said as she looked at Zhou Guozhong who was smoking a cigarette.

"Don't buy such expensive things next time."

Zhou Guozhong was very happy when his son bought him two packs of cigarettes, but he also felt bad about the money.

Zhou Guozhong is not particular about smoking, and he feels good to smoke his father's tobacco when he returns to his hometown.

"Don't buy cigarettes below this level in the future."

Zhou Jing pointed at Furong Wangdao.

Zhou Jing came back and bought four packs of Huazi cigarettes, two each for his dad and grandfather, but he didn't buy any wine because his grandfather couldn't drink.

"Can smoking make you immortal or prolong your life?"

Wu Suqin was extremely speechless about this father and son. Others were advising their families to quit smoking and buy e-cigarettes that could help them quit smoking, but her own son was different and was advising his father to smoke good cigarettes.

"My dad doesn't smoke a lot."

Zhou Jing feels that people must have a pursuit in life, even if it is harmful to health and he has no interest in living to be a hundred years. After his rebirth, Zhou Jing is more open-minded. He would rather live a comfortable life for thirty years than live a depressed life for a hundred years.

"Dad, no more than two boxes in three days."

Zhou Jing added.

"I can only buy one box every two days."

“It should be one box a day.”

Wu Suqin rolled her eyes.
