Rebirth: Starting from a Trainee Teacher

Chapter 349 The most beautiful thing right before your eyes

The meal was ready at home. Zhou Jing quickly went to the village and called home to invite Gu Jia to dinner. The meal was very sumptuous, just like the New Year's Eve dinner. Today, they specially killed a big rooster and made a whole steamed chicken.

"Jia Jia, eat more."

Wu Suqin first picked up a chicken leg and gave it to Gu Jia.

"To grandpa and grandma."

Gu Jia declined immediately.

The old man and the old lady naturally gave priority to Gu Jia.

"There's one more. Mom has been working hard these past few days. I'm giving this to her."

Wu Suqin handed the other chicken leg to the old lady and said.

"This chicken leg is so big. I can't eat anything else after eating the whole one. Grandpa, please try it."

Gu Jia tore off a large piece of meat from the chicken leg and put it into the old man's bowl.

The old lady tore off a piece of meat from the chicken leg and wanted to give it to Zhou Jing, but Zhou Jing gave it to his mother.

"There's still a lot of meat. Let's eat it together. This chicken is really delicious."

Gu Jia put the bowl towards Zhou Jing, picked up a small piece of chicken leg and put it in her mouth and ate it.

Zhou Jing smiled and said, "The main thing is that the ingredients are good. It's a big rooster bought from the village. It's not fed with feed, but only with grains and cereals grown locally. Guess how much this chicken costs?"

"It must be several dozen dollars, right?"

Gu Jia knew without guessing that this kind of chicken was not cheap, and it was definitely much more expensive than the one bought in the city. It was indeed delicious and safe to eat, unlike the usual chicken purchased, which always made her lose her appetite because of the messy hormones she would think of.

"I bought four sheep during the Chinese New Year, and each sheep cost an average of over 140 yuan. I bought these sheep from a shepherd in the village, so you can eat them with confidence. The pork is not fed with feed."

Zhou Jing picked up a piece of mutton for Gu Jia and said.

"It's so expensive. How much is a pound of mutton here?"

Gu Jia experienced what real food is. A live chicken costs more than 140 yuan, which would cost several hundred yuan if cooked in a hotel. A full table of New Year's Eve dinner at home in the city would not cost that much. The New Year's Eve dinner in the countryside may seem simple, but the eight dishes on the table would not cost less than 2,000 yuan in a restaurant.

This is true luxury.

"I bought a whole sheep. It weighed 25 pounds when it was alive."

Zhou Jing clinked glasses of white wine with his father and said.

"You get what you pay for. This tastes much more authentic than what we buy in the city."

Gu Jia picked up a large piece of mutton and took a bite. It had a bit of mutton smell but was very fresh and appetizing.

"Jia Jia, are there many people on the train when you come back today?"

Wu Suqin moved the cold dishes towards Gu Jia and said.

"There are quite a lot of them. The tickets were purchased several days in advance. It's hard to buy standing tickets today."

Gu Jia offered the orange juice to the old lady and Wu Suqin.

Zhou Jing drank white wine with his father and grandfather.

Gu Jia dropped a piece of meat on the table while picking up vegetables. Zhou Jing picked up the meat and ate it without hesitation. His own table must be clean.

Gu Jia was a little overwhelmed at first and was about to put some food into her own bowl, but the boy resolved her embarrassment.

Wu Suqin saw this and thought that being her son's wife was a blessing for a girl.

After dinner, Zhou Jing and his mother cleaned up and washed the dishes. Gu Jia wanted to help, but Zhou Jing stopped her and asked her to rest on the kang. Gu Jia felt embarrassed to sit there, so Zhou Jing said she would do it tomorrow.

Sitting on the warm kang, watching the boy helping to wash the dishes skillfully, Gu Jia felt inferior to him. She felt that when it came to being virtuous, boys really had nothing to do as girls did. Diligent boys were much more efficient at doing housework than girls.

After washing the dishes, Zhou Jing sat next to Gu Jia on the kang and watched TV together.

“I’m so full.”

Gu Jia touched her belly and said with relief.

Zhou Jing smiled and said softly, "Do you want to take a walk in the yard?"

"Need not."

The boy had just sat down to rest when Gu Jia wouldn't let him get up.

The old lady put melon seeds, vegetables and fruits on the square table on the kang and gave an orange to Gu Jia.

"Thank you, grandma. Please come up and sit down."

Gu Jia took the orange and held it in her hand without wanting to eat it yet.

"The kang is harder than the bed and sofa, Jiajia, spread out this quilt and sit on it."

Wu Suqin handed a quilt to Zhou Jing and said.

"No need, it's more comfortable to sit on a harder surface." Gu Jia is not that squeamish.

"It becomes uncomfortable if you sit for too long."

Zhou Jingshen has experienced this: people who are not used to sitting on the kang will feel sore in their buttocks after a while.

Zhou Jing spread out the quilt and asked Gu Jia to sit on it. The TV was playing a rural love story. Seeing that Gu Jia was watching it very attentively, Zhou Jing smiled and said, "Do you like it?"

"It's pretty nice, don't you like it?"

"like."

Zhou Jing took two peanuts, peeled them and gave them to Gu Jia to eat.

"Is this Wang Xiaomeng better or the one in the first film?"

Gu Jia said with a smile.

"I think this looks good."

Zhou Jing looked at the TV. The second version of Wang Xiaomeng was very feminine. Compared with the first version, the second version was more like Tofu Xishi.

"I think so too. You always ask me to eat more. Do you like Wang Xiaomeng's figure?"

Gu Jia tickled the boy's feet under the quilt.

"Yeah, it's more feminine than a bamboo pole."

Zhou Jing nodded.

Gu Jia gains three pounds every festival, but she didn’t eat as much tonight as she did on New Year’s Eve. The simple and unpretentious meal from the boy’s hometown made her very hungry.

"Do you want water or a drink?"

The food was too greasy, so Zhou Jing opened a can of herbal tea and handed it to Gu Jia.

"I'll drink less."

Gu Jia took a sip and gave it to the boy.

Zhou Jing went to the next room to get Gu Jia's thermos and poured her a cup of hot water.

After watching two levels of TV, Zhou Jing and Gu Jia went to the next room to rest. The stove was still burning slowly, and the water in the big iron pot was boiling with white steam. Zhou Jing scooped water from the basin for washing, prepared hot water in the foot basin for Gu Jia to wash her feet, and brought a pair of sandals for Gu Jia. The sandals were also new. Zhou Jing bought them for Gu Jia as a spare pair before the New Year.

"It's so comfortable on the kang."

Gu Jia took her pajamas, pulled the curtains and bed curtains and went to change on the kang. After getting on the kang, she couldn't help rolling around. Just thinking about sleeping on a kang that was three or four meters long from left to right made her feel comfortable. She could roll around as she wanted at night.

"The best sleeping position is in the middle. The left side is too cold and the right side is too hot. You should sleep on the left side. Sleeping on the right side will definitely make your throat dry in the morning."

Teacher Gu was rolling on the bed with disheveled hair, looking very charming. Zhou Jing knelt down and kissed her.

"Okay, these paintings were bought by the old lady, right?"

Gu Jia got up and changed into pajamas. While changing clothes, she admired the paintings on the wall above the kang. There was a large landscape painting on the front, and on the left and right sides were paintings of the God of Wealth and Chairman Mao, as well as a painting of four beauties.

"What do you think of the old lady's aesthetic?"

Zhou Jing helped Gu Jia unbutton her bra, kissed her white and fragrant back, and lay on her shoulder to look forward.

"Yes, I guess you like this one best, right?"

Gu Jia pointed at the painting of four beauties, and noticing the boy's gaze, she made a gesture of digging her eyes out.

“I don’t like things that are just illusions; the most beautiful thing is what’s right in front of me.”

Zhou Jing put his hands under Gu Jia's arms.

"You mean you're not beautiful when I'm not around?"

Gu Jia slapped the boy's claws away and quickly put on her pajamas.

"You are the most beautiful wherever you are."

Zhou Jing also went upstairs to change into pajamas.

"If you don't believe in a man's painting, how about setting off fireworks tomorrow night?"

Gu Jia got off the kang and washed her feet first. She sat on a small stool and tested the water temperature. It was a little hot, so she soaked her feet slowly.

"I used up all the fireworks I bought before the New Year on New Year's Eve. I will go to the county town to buy some tomorrow."

"Living in the countryside is also a kind of enjoyment. Fireworks are not allowed in the city, and Tangdu is indeed not suitable for setting off fireworks, as the smog is already serious."

Gu Jia thought that when her children grew up, she would return to the countryside to enjoy rural life.

After washing up, Zhou Jing put his arm around Gu Jia's waist and asked meaningfully, "Are you tired?"
