Rebirth: Starting from a Trainee Teacher

Chapter 309 Zhou Jing’s book was pirated
After dinner, Gu Jia took the initiative to help clean up the dishes. Wu Suqin didn't want it, but Gu Jia insisted on helping.

Zhou Jing did not go to the kitchen to get involved, so that the two of them could adapt to the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in advance. Grandma wanted to go to the kitchen to help wash the dishes, and Zhou Jing helped grandma to the living room to rest. How could the young people feel embarrassed to let the old lady work when they were still here?

"This is much more practical than the cane you buy."

Zhou Guozhong picked up the old lady's jujube wood walking stick, knocked it on the ground and said.

Zhou Guozhong was very pleased with his son's filial piety to the old man. It was much more thoughtful to carve a walking stick for the old man than to buy one. He thought that his father and teacher had taught him well.
"I can use it until I'm old."

The old lady had a kind smile on her face. The walking stick her grandson had made was very handy for her. She used it wherever she went. The walking sticks she had bought before were too short and light, so she didn't want to use them.

The old lady has been using the jujube wood cane for more than a year, and the grip is no longer as rough as it was at the beginning.

"It's still early. Grandma can live to be a hundred years old."

Zhou Jing massaged the old lady's shoulders. The old lady was not yet seventy years old.

"Alas, it is better to die with dignity than to live long."

The old lady sighed. She had no desire to live a hundred years. She only hoped that one day she could die cleanly, without being unable to move or die, which would trouble her children and cause her own suffering.

"You are blessed for the younger generation if you live well."

Zhou Guozhong said with a smile.

"I'm afraid I'll be a burden to you in the future."

The old lady is living a good life now. Her children are all living well. Her grandson is successful in his career. He bought a refrigerator for her family. There are no more than three families in the whole village who have refrigerators. She has good food and drink, and is picked up and dropped off by car. What could she not be satisfied with?

"Next year or the year after, let grandma hold her great-grandson."

Zhou Jing said to the old lady with a smile.

"As soon as possible."

The old lady couldn't stop laughing.

Zhou Guozhong looked at his son and gathered from his words that marriage was a matter of the next two years.

Hearing Zhou Jing's words, Gu Jia's heart was slightly moved in the kitchen.

Wu Suqin was even more excited. The bastard had made her worry for more than ten years, but the major events in life did not give her a headache.

Gu Jia helped clean up the kitchen, and Zhou Jing took her to the bedroom to look at photos.

Like many boys, Zhou Jing doesn’t like taking photos. He doesn’t have many personal photos, and even a small photo album is not full.

There are quite a few portraits in the album, basically all of classmates from junior high and high school. It was popular to give out portraits as gifts when graduating from junior high and high school. Zhou Jing’s were always snatched up by classmates. Some girls couldn’t get Zhou Jing’s portrait and urged him to take photos again and again. If Zhou Jing didn’t want to go, they would pull him to take photos and take photos with him. This is the charm of a handsome man.

"This photo album is quite cute. Was it given to me by a girl?"

Gu Jia could tell at a glance that the boy’s photo album had a story and it didn’t seem like the style a boy would choose.

"It was given to me by a classmate from junior high school."

Zhou Jing had nothing to be embarrassed to admit. He had received many gifts from girls in junior high and high school, including photo albums, cups, hourglasses, desk lamps, glass jars filled with little stars, and so on.

In order to prevent Gu Jia from thinking he was being frivolous, Zhou Jing called his mother the day before yesterday and asked her to hide the gifts given by the girls in his bedroom.

"I'm sure a lot of girls have given you gifts. Show me what else you have."

Gu Jia was not jealous about such a thing. She looked at the boy and said with a smile.

"I broke them all and lost them."

Of course Zhou Jing wouldn't take it out.

"Why ruin someone's kindness?" Gu Jia pinched the boy's face and said, "You don't appreciate it at all."

"not on purpose."

"Aren't there any photos of you when you were a child?"

Gu Jia flipped through the boy's photo and said.

"I'm afraid you'll blush after seeing this."

Zhou Jing went to the study drawer to get the family photo album and took out the photos of himself as a child and gave them to Gu Jia.

Looking at the photo of the boy wearing open-crotch pants, Gu Jia noticed the little white bell at first glance.

"I have nothing to be embarrassed about. Are you embarrassed to let me see it?"

Gu Jia had a smile on her face. She was fine as she had seen her best friend's child in person.

"You've also watched the reality show."

Zhou Jing sat next to Gu Jia and looked at the photos together.

Gu Jia bit her lip and reached out to pinch the boy's leg hard. It was a reality show. The boy had such a rich imagination.

"How does it feel to be at my house?"

Zhou Jing hugged Gu Jia's slender waist and said, "Your family is so welcoming."

Gu Jia felt very good, of course. What could she complain about since the boy's parents valued her so much? The boy's parents were reasonable and the old people were kind and charitable. She didn't need to worry about the future relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law at all.

“Give me this photo.”

Gu Jia placed a photo of the boy when he was about one year old on the table.

In the photo, the boy is sitting on the bed, looking very cute in his crotchless pants.

Zhou Jing took out the photo album that Gu Jia had given him before, left a photo of Gu Jia at home, and put the photo of him that Gu Jia had chosen in the album for Gu Jia to keep.

"So romantic!"

When Gu Jia opened the small plastic bag containing the photo stickers, his eyes lit up. There were so many girls' photos.

"No way. It was popular to exchange profile pictures before graduation. There were a lot of boys there."

Zhou Jing said with a smile.

"What about this? Puppy love?"

Turning to a photo of a girl and a boy, Gu Jia pretended to look gloomy. In the photo, the boy didn't move much, and the girl pouted her lips to act cute, which was disgusting.

Zhou Jing forgot to ask his mother to clean up the photos, and explained with a smile: "These are my junior high school classmates. At that time, there was only one photo studio in the entire county that could take photo booths. The boys and I were taking photos, and a few girls from our class came."

"Keep covering it up."

Gu Jia pretended to tear up the photo of the boy and the girl, gritted her teeth and threw it on the table.

The boy’s junior high school class teacher is his father, so I don’t think he would dare to fall in love too early.

Teacher Gu's sour look was so cute. Zhou Jing hugged her and bit her face.

"Why don't you make excuses?"

Gu Jia picked out a photo of a boy and stuck it on the back of her phone.

"Was I dishonest in my senior year of high school?"

Zhou Jing kissed Gu Jia's hair on her face.

Gu Jia's ears were itchy from being brushed by hair, so she scratched them and recalled the boy's performance in his senior year of high school. He was indeed quite honest, handsome, and was the class monitor. He was very popular with girls and had no scandals.

After staying in the room for a while, Zhou Jing took Gu Jia out for a walk to familiarize themselves with the county town.

When they got to the street, Zhou Jing took Gu Jia's hand.

“The small town gives people a very comfortable feeling.”

Gu Jia walked and looked, and her first impression was that the pace was very slow.

"Students are also anxious. This is a county high school, and the regular classes are a mess. Although students in the key classes work hard, it is still difficult to get into a second-tier university no matter how hard they try."

Zhou Jing still remembers that when he was in junior high school, he had to compete with his mother for fun and was always nervous.

After seeing many students in the county high school who are unlearned and do nothing but study, Zhou Jing feels that the policy of forcing them to go to vocational high schools after graduating from junior high school is right. Such students not only do not learn themselves, but also prevent students who want to learn from learning, and even make it impossible for teachers to teach. If they are not that kind of people, there is no need for them to be admitted to high schools and become black sheep.

"Educational resources are poor, the school's teaching staff is weak, and it can't retain students with good high school entrance exam scores."

Gu Jia could imagine that her father had worked in the Municipal Education Bureau, and she had heard a lot about the high school education situation in various counties in the city.

"Correct."

It was almost time for afternoon classes and there was a crowd of students outside the county high school. While the school gate was still accessible, Zhou Jing took Gu Jia in for a tour.

After entering the school, the two of them wandered around the playground and then went to the teaching area after class.

When the bell rang, there were still groups of students walking leisurely outside, as if they were not going to school but to the vegetable market.

“This is too leisurely.”

Gu Jia couldn't help but laugh.

"There are also those who don't come at all. Some students are freer than college students."

Zhou Jing smiled and said.

"Too rebellious. You will pay for your actions."

Gu Jia shook her head. She knew that some county high schools were in chaos, but she didn’t expect it to be this chaotic.

After walking around and leaving the school, Zhou Jing pulled Gu Jia into the bookstore he often visited in junior high school to read. "I often came here secretly to read in junior high school to see if there were any of my books."

"Isn't this yours? It's obviously a pirated copy, right?"

Gu Jia picked up a book called "I Really Don't Want to Be an Emperor" and said.
