Rebirth: Starting from a Trainee Teacher

Chapter 345 Gu Jia: His Status at Home Has Declined
The company was closed on time on the 26th day of the twelfth lunar month, and Zhou Jing and Gu Jia spent the New Year at their respective homes. Before Zhou Jing went home, he of course went to visit Gu's father and mother to wish them a happy new year.

On the day of the holiday, Zhou Jing and Gu Jia went to visit Gu's parents.

Gu's father and mother live in the unit's staff quarters. Before leaving, Zhou Jing and Gu Jia went shopping.

"I'll take the train to your house on the fifth day of the first lunar month."

They are about to separate and Gu Jia is reluctant to leave, but if she doesn't spend the New Year in Tangdu, her parents will be the only ones at home. Since she hasn't gotten married yet, she'd better stay at home and spend the New Year with them.

"I'll pick you up."

After getting off the car, Zhou Jing took Gu Jia's hand and smiled.

"No, don't run around during the New Year."

Gu Jia didn't need to go through so much trouble. It would only take five or six hours for her to take the train, and there was no need for the boy to come to Tangdu specifically to pick her up.

"Then we'll see what the road conditions are like then."

If the road conditions are good, it will only take Zhou Jing a day to come to Tangdu to pick up Gu Jia, and he can have some free time during the New Year holidays.

When they arrived at the luxury goods mall, Zhou Jing paid the money and Gu Jia chose the items. He bought a set of clothes for Gu's father and a bag and a pair of gold bracelets for Gu's mother.

I bought a suit for Zhou Guozhong, a down jacket for Wu Suqin, and a pair of gold bracelets of the same style as Gu's mother's.

The quality of the bracelet is very good, it is a plain solid gold bracelet. Buying gold for family members is the best way to preserve its value. Given mothers’ obsession with gold, the gold they buy will belong to their children after they have bought it.

All the money was paid by Zhou Jing.

"I'll pay for your parents'."

Gu Jia felt bad, as if she was only taking in money but not giving out.

"It's enough to show your kindness. We are a family and there's no need to worry about yours or mine."

Zhou Jing knew that Teacher Gu was short of money. If it was a gift worth a few hundred yuan, Teacher Gu would not lack that money, but more than 30,000 yuan would be a big blow to Teacher Gu's wallet.

"It's also a problem if my boyfriend is too rich. From now on, I will spend the small money on me and the big money on you."

Gu Jia smiled and sighed, saying that she could only give gifts to the boy's parents later.

"Listen to Master."

Zhou Jing put his arm around Gu Jia's slender waist.

He continued walking around the mall and bought a set of clothes for Zhou Jing and Gu Jia respectively. Zhou Jing bought a woolen coat and jeans, while Gu Jia also bought a coat for the upper body and casual pants for the lower body.

After coming out of the mall, the two went to visit Gu's parents.

At around three o'clock in the afternoon, Gu's mother had already started cooking. According to the specifications of the New Year's Eve dinner, she had the dinner in advance while Zhou Jing was around.

"Xiao Zhou, you don't need to spend so much money. This is the time to spend it."

Gu's mother could tell at a glance that the gold bracelets and clothes were not cheap. A pair of bracelets alone would cost thirty or forty thousand.

“It didn’t cost much.”

Apart from spending money on the people around him, Zhou Jing has no other high-end consumption. There is no other meaning for Zhou Jing to make money if he doesn't spend it on the people around him, so Zhou Jing is never stingy with the people around him.

The project funds of the five companies were all paid to Bowei Network Technology Co., Ltd. Zhou Jing and Bai Xiyao each earned about one million yuan from the five projects. After the Chinese New Year, Zhou Jing planned to buy an A6.
After chatting for a while, Gu Jia helped her mother cook, and Zhou Jing played chess with her father as usual.

Mr. Gu has a special status, so Zhou Jing has nothing to do except playing chess with him.

"How do you plan for the first month of the year?"

In the kitchen, Mother Gu asked her daughter.

"We will go to Zhou Jing's house on the fifth day and come back together on the seventh day."

Gu Jia’s arrangement was simple.

"Are you planning to get married next year?"

Mother Gu closed the kitchen door and said.

"It depends on the situation. I don't think there is time. I plan to have a baby first."

Gu Jia could fully understand Zhou Jing. If Capital Technology Company was established, Zhou Jing would be even busier.

Now that they have obtained their marriage certificate, Gu Jiaxin has decided to fully support the boy's career.

"fair enough."

Mother Gu nodded. Her daughter's father held a high position, and it was inevitable that someone would take advantage of the grand wedding. "Then have a child as soon as possible." Mother Gu put away her cheerful smile and continued, "Your age does not wait for anyone. If you have a child, you can't help Xiao Zhou. No matter what, have a child first."

Gu Jia had thought of this. The boy needed help at that time. After having a child, she would be unable to leave for at least a year and a half. Not only that, the child would also need someone to take care of him. She was about to turn 30 and could not delay taking care of the child.

"When you have a child, your mother will take care of it."

Mrs. Gu is not too old now and can help take care of the child.

There was nothing Gu Jia could do. The boy's parents were in Yu City and couldn't leave, so the responsibility of coaxing the child fell on his mother.

“Where are technology companies going to develop?”

Father Gu looked at the chess situation and said with a smile.

"We will focus on software first, and the company in Tangdu plans to develop into manufacturing in the future."

Zhou Jing waited patiently for Gu's father to make his move.

"It's a good idea. Upgrading manufacturing is the general trend in the future. To upgrade manufacturing, we must rely on information technology."

Father Gu looked up at Zhou Jing and admired his vision very much. He also thought that the location Zhou Jing chose was very good.

After dinner, Zhou Jing accompanied Gu's father for a few drinks and planned to stay at Gu's father and mother's place that night. After dinner, Zhou Jing and Gu Jia took Gu's father and mother to see a movie. This was the first time Zhou Jing and Gu Jia took their parents to see a movie.

The Spring Festival is approaching, so I chose a comedy as the movie.

While waiting, Dad and Mom Gu rested in the lounge area, while Zhou Jing and Gu Jia went to the video game area to catch dolls.

"Jia Jia catches that rabbit."

Dad and Mother Gu came to the video game area, and Mother Gu pointed at a long-eared rabbit and said.

Dad Gu watched with a smile on his face.

Gu Jia tried twice and failed, so she gave it to the boy.

"It can't be too light, you have to shake it."

Zhou Jing first threw a hook, swung the puppet to the right position, and then threw another hook successfully.

"If everyone were as capable as you, the boss would go bankrupt."

Gu Jia took out Tuzki and gave it to her mother.

"Xiao Zhou is clever and deft."

Mother Gu held the rabbit in both hands and was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling.

The movie was about to start. Zhou Jing and Gu Jia sat together, and Gu's father and mother sat together.

Gu's mother always has a happy face. This year is the happiest New Year in the past few years. In previous years, her daughter took her and her father to the movies, but the family of three lacked the festive atmosphere of reunion. This year, with the addition of a son-in-law, the feeling is completely different.

The movie ended around nine o'clock in the evening. Zhou Jing and Gu Jia returned home, washed up, and went back to the bedroom to rest.

Mother Gu knocked on the bedroom door, went in and gave two big red envelopes to her daughter and Zhou Jing respectively.

"No need, Auntie. We are all so old now, we should be filial to you."

Zhou Jing refused immediately.

"Take this, a little gift from your aunt and your uncle Gu. You will always be children in our hearts."

Mother Gu stuffed a red envelope into Zhou Jing's arms and threw the other one to her daughter.

Gu Jia picked up the red envelope and said, "Mom, you didn't say that in previous years."

This was the first time that Gu Jia received a New Year red envelope from her mother since graduating from college.

"Xiao Zhou, go to bed early tomorrow when driving."

Mother Gu rolled her eyes at her daughter, turned to Zhou Jing, resumed her cheerful smile, and told him to leave the bedroom.

"My status at home has plummeted." Gu Jia opened the red envelope, took out the money and sighed while counting it: "Thanks to you, I can actually receive New Year's money from my mother."

"Who told you that you can't even trick a boy home?" Zhou Jing pinched his wallet, which should be two thousand yuan. He opened it and took a look. Everything was brand new. He handed it to Gu Jia and said, "Do you want to hand it over?"

"Of course I have to hand it in."

Gu Jia took the boy’s red envelope, counted it, and put it back into the boy’s bag.
