Rebirth: Starting from a Trainee Teacher

Chapter 3 Allow You to Hold Me

After breaking up with Chen Jiaqian this time, Zhou Jing did not feel that the world had lost its color as he did in his previous life. Instead, he felt relieved.

Freedom is more valuable.

With nothing to do, Zhou Jing took a shovel and went to the roof of his grandmother's house to find something to do.

There were holes and potholes on the roof dug by rats, and Zhou Jingquan leveled them to prevent water leaks into the house when it rained. He also cleared the weeds on the roadside where his grandmother often walked, shoveled away the collapsed soil on the path, and cleared the water channels.

"What would you like to eat tonight?"

Under the big locust tree at the entrance of the courtyard, an old lady who was enjoying the cool air stood up with a dragon-headed walking stick and asked.

"I'm not too hungry, just eat something."

Zhou Jing always felt that the walking stick he bought was not solid, especially the connection between the handle and the stick was very thin. His grandmother broke one of his walking sticks once. Last year, his grandmother used the walking stick to chase away mice on the corn rack and ended up breaking the stick.

Zhou Jing thought about carving a jujube or locust wood stick for his grandmother.

Jujube wood is harder, while locust wood tends to crack when dry.

After going back and getting a hand saw, Zhou Jing searched among the nearby jujube trees and sawed out a piece of material suitable for making a walking stick. The thicker end of the stick had a natural bend of about 90 degrees, which was just right for holding in the hand.

Back in the yard, Zhou Jing used an old kitchen knife to cut off the branches on the stick, and then scraped it flat with a small knife.

There is no need to peel the jujube wood, just grind the skin until it is not prickly. If the skin is completely peeled, it will easily weather. Such a walking stick is not good-looking but it is sturdy and durable. The elderly use walking sticks for safety, so it is a bit flashy and impractical.

"What are you going to do with that?"

The old lady who came out of the room asked in confusion.

"I want to make a walking stick. The walking stick I bought is easy to break at this place. How about grandma try to make it longer?"

Zhou Jing handed the stick to the old lady.

"It just so happens that the one I bought is a little short."

The old lady tapped the ground with her jujube wood cane, which was very solid and easy to use.

"I'll polish it some more."

"No need to grind it, as long as it can be supported."

The old lady couldn't let it go and went back to the house, leaning on her stick.

The nights in the countryside seem to be longer than those in the city. There is no internet, no smartphones, and you can’t see Odebiao racing, or the master repairing the hooves of donkeys, horses, and cows, or the young lady posing on the live broadcast.

In this environment, television is particularly important.

Two episodes of "Love Apartment" helped Zhou Jing kill the boring time before 9:30.

The old people go to bed early at night. Grandma had already fallen asleep at around nine o'clock. Zhou Jing couldn't sleep, so he sprayed some floral water on himself and went outside for a walk. The moonless night sky was filled with stars, which was what you call a starry sky.

"Twinkle, twinkle little star, the sky is full of little stars". It is difficult for children in the city to imagine this kind of night view.

Hearing Liu Hanyu talking to her grandmother in the yard across the ditch, Zhou Jing whistled.

The countryside is even quieter at night. You can hear the rustling of the cornfield on the dam at the bottom of the slope, the sound of water flowing in the river, and the barking of dogs in the distance.

Even if you are 100 to 200 meters away, you can still hear people's normal voices clearly.

"Zhou Jing, what are you doing?"

There are very few young people in the village, and Liu Hanyu guessed that it was Zhou Jing.

"Look at the stars, how about you?"

Zhou Jing turned on the flashlight and shone it across the street, but the light was too dim and he couldn't see anything.

"Pour some water. What did you watch on TV tonight?"

Liu Hanyu continued.

Zhou Jing said: "Love Apartment."

Liu Hanyu said: "I also watched Love Apartment. This TV is so funny. What did you eat tonight?"

Zhou Jing said: "Leek Box, what about you?"

"We had pancakes, cucumber dishes, boiled corn and pumpkin. I made the pancakes. Am I awesome?"

Liu Hanyu said with great pride.

"sharp."

"Wow, Zhou Jing, there's a star moving over there."

"where?"

"there."

"Where is that?" "Hey, it's in the sky above you. Do you see it?"

Liu Hanyu made herself laugh.

"Saw."

Zhou Jing didn’t know if what he saw was the same star that Liu Hanyu saw. Moving stars are very common.

"The universe is so magical. In the universe, the earth is like a grain of sand in the desert. When I was a child, I heard people say that stars are meteorites burning in space. In fact, they are not at all. Many stars that we can see with our naked eyes are very far away from the earth. Zhou Jing, do you know how far the Big Dipper we see is from the earth?"

"Light years away, a girl like you is also interested in the stars in the universe?"

"My brother often tells me that he has just graduated from the third year of junior high school and knows more about geography and astronomy than I do. By the way, my brother didn't get into the Experimental Middle School in the high school entrance examination, but was admitted to the Third Middle School. My family is planning to transfer him to the Experimental Middle School. You should take care of him when the time comes."

"Didn't you say that I was misleading my students as a teacher?"

Zhou Jing raised the corners of his mouth. After knowing that he was going to be a teacher, his junior high school and high school classmates all teased him that he was misleading young students. In fact, those who had younger brothers and sisters in the experimental middle school asked him to take care of them.

"Just say it, ah, the mosquito bite hurts me, I won't say it anymore, I'm going back to the house."

Liu Hanyu was just joking, saying that Tangdu Normal University is a 211 after all, and there are only a handful of normal universities in the country that are better than Tangdu Normal University.

After staying in the yard until almost half past ten, Zhou Jing returned to the house, lay down and thought about life.

How can I live so that my rebirth is not in vain?
In his previous life, Zhou Jing had run a teaching supplementary institution that also made tens of millions of dollars. In his new life, there was no way he could do worse than in his previous life.

On the 26th, Zhou Jing didn't go anywhere. He took a notebook and used his advantage of foreseeing the future to list projects that could make money. He first excluded the teaching auxiliary industry. Perhaps he was tired of it after working in it for ten years in his previous life and now he rejects it.

It is unrealistic to get rich by stock trading.

Farming involves great risks and requires huge investments.

After much thought, none of them can be achieved smoothly. The first difficulty I faced was the first pot of gold.

So how to make the first pot of gold was Zhou Jing’s first test.

Zhou Jing doesn't plan to rely on his family. If he can't even make the first pot of gold after his rebirth, then he shouldn't be so ambitious.

In fact, Zhou Jing's family could not give him much help in his career. If Zhou Jing decided where to work, his family would have no problem paying the down payment for the house and the monthly mortgage payments, but it would be impossible for Zhou Jing to start a business with hundreds of thousands of cash.

On the 27th, Zhou Jing returned home, riding the scooter he rode to his grandmother's house and which his father usually rides to and from get off work.

Grandma picked a beer box of vegetables for Zhou Jing to take away, including tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, eggplants, etc.

"No need to give it to your uncle's family, let your uncle's family come and get it themselves."

The old lady said as she packed her things that a beer box couldn't hold much, just three or four eggplants, a few cucumbers, a dozen tomatoes, a dozen peppers, and some beans.

"Give me some. It's not a small amount."

Zhou Jing smiled. There were only three people in his family: himself, his parents and they couldn't eat much food.

"Use this money to buy something delicious at school."

The old lady grabbed another two hundred yuan and put it into Zhou Jing's bag.

"Grandma doesn't need to give me money anymore. I don't need to go to school anymore. I will start working and earn my own money soon."

Zhou Jing returned it to the old lady.

"Here, you have a lot of money to spend when you first start working."

"Okay, listen to grandma."

The old lady insisted on putting the money in Zhou Jing's pocket, so Zhou Jing accepted it. He couldn't beat the old lady.

Liu Hanyu was to sit on the back of the motorcycle, and Zhou Jing put the box in the front. Before leaving, grandma repeatedly told Zhou Jing to ride slowly. Liu Hanyu's grandma on the other side of the ditch also told Zhou Jing to ride slowly.

"Zhou Jing, how's your technique?"

Liu Hanyu was waiting on the roadside with a backpack and a bag in her hand.

"You are an old driver, you should be able to give birth easily."

Zhou Jing glanced at Liu Hanyu's figure and was a little surprised.

The girl was about 165cm tall, wearing blue tight jeans, a white short-sleeved shirt and a pair of white sneakers. Her buttocks were wrapped in the jeans, making them round and perky, and the curve made people want to take a few more glances.

I never noticed that Liu Hanyu has such a good figure before. If you look closely, her face is quite pretty too. She is a niche beauty.

"roll."

Liu Hanyu raised her leg and kicked Zhou Jing.

"Hold on tight. You are allowed to hold me."

Zhou Jing put Liu Hanyu's bag of vegetables in the front and tied it up, then started the motorcycle and said.
