Rebirth: Starting from a Trainee Teacher

Chapter 353 Fireworks (Part )

"How about a tobacco kiss?"

After their lips parted, Zhou Jing smiled.

"Don't smoke anymore."

The boy usually doesn't smoke, but he lit one when setting off firecrackers just now. Gu Jia didn't smell any obvious cigarette when he kissed him.

Zhou Jing has no smoking addiction and no hobby of smoking.

The way down the mountain was much easier than going up. The family was preparing the New Year's Eve dinner. Seeing Zhou Jing holding a wild rabbit in his hand, Wu Suqin curiously asked where he picked it up.

"He was beaten. Zhou Jing hit him on the head with a clod of earth and killed him."

Gu Jia explained.

"What a coincidence."

"This rabbit is quite fat and can be made into a dish on its own."

The old man, the old lady, and Zhou Guozhong all came out to watch.

Zhou Jing personally cooked the rabbit meat. He first processed the skin and internal organs, cleaned them and cut them into pieces, then added light soy sauce, five-spice powder, pepper powder and ginger powder to marinate them. After marinating, he heated up the oil to stir-fry, added onions, ginger, garlic, bean paste, light soy sauce and dark soy sauce, and finally added half a bottle of beer and simmered it over low heat.

"Chef style."

Gu Jia watched the boy show off his skills from the side.

"You went to university at Sichuan International Studies University. I don't believe you've never eaten rabbit meat."

Zhou Jing washed his hands, took a can of herbal tea, took two sips and said.

"I've had snacks made from rabbit meat."

Gu Jia squatted on the ground to help pick up vegetables.

"You must be tired after running around the mountain. Jiajia, go and take a rest on the kang."

Wu Suqin didn't need Gu Jia to do anything.

"I'm not tired. It's quite comfortable to move around."

Everyone else was busy and Gu Jia couldn't sit still.

After Zhou Jing cooked the rabbit meat, he completed his task and went into the house to turn on his computer to write his novel.

The novel "The Ancient God" has been serialized for more than five months, with more than three million words. Zhou Jing expects the book to be completed in about four million words. As for the final chapter, the plot is progressing smoothly and it will be completed in March if nothing unexpected happens.

After finishing this book, Zhou Jing plans to change the subject matter temporarily and will not update it every day. He plans to go to the capital in March to work on the technology company. Zhou Jing does not have time to spend too much time writing novels. He can only publish five or six thousand words every day. What is more important is to maintain popularity. The future is the era of traffic.

The royalties from the first two novels are still considerable. One book can bring Zhou Jing over 100,000 yuan a month. Together with the novel he is currently writing, Zhou Jing currently earns 700,000 to 800,000 yuan a month in royalties. With the stock gains and company profits, Zhou Jing easily earns 6 to 7 million yuan a month.

Even if Zhou Jing didn't start a technology company, he could still achieve a small goal this year.

We had dinner at around five o'clock. Today's New Year's Eve dinner is more sumptuous than the one on New Year's Eve.

"I feel like I can gain three pounds in the past two days."

Gu Jia was afraid of gaining weight, but she couldn't control her mouth, and she couldn't refuse the boy's enthusiasm.

"Not fat at all, it would look better if you had some weight on."

Wu Suqin looked at Gu Jia and said.

Gu Jia decided to go for it. She decided to eat well for the next two days and start losing weight when she got home.

"Which is better, rabbit or mutton?"

Zhou Jing picked up a piece of wild rabbit meat and gave it to Gu Jia.

“Rabbit meat doesn’t have a smell.”

Thinking of how lively the rabbit was when it was alive, Gu Jia couldn't bear it at first, but after tasting it, she was impressed by its deliciousness.

It was still early after dinner, so Zhou Jing accompanied Gu Jia for a walk outside.

"We're going to your uncle's house tomorrow. When do we leave the day after tomorrow?"

Gu Jia pulled Zhou Jing's sleeve and said.

"In the morning, to prevent traffic jams on the road."

Zhou Jing went to the corner to open the box of scattered fireworks, and first took out the fairy wands and small fireworks to set them off.

"Love this, stay away, be careful of spraying it in your eyes."

Gu Jia held a fairy wand in each hand and asked the boy to light them.

Zhou Jing lit the fairy wand and dodged.

"so beautiful."

Gu Jia stood far away from the house, waving her hands gently, and the fairy wand emitted colorful sparks.

“Have you ever spent the New Year in Yushi?”

Zhou Jing fixed the small fireworks in the yard and lit them. Soon they burst into brilliant sparks, lighting up the yard with colorful lights.

"I've only played with small fireworks like this before, and it's boring without someone to play with me."

After the two fairy wands burned out, Gu Jia took two more.

"You can play alone, or play with other kids in the community square." After Zhou Jing lit Gu Jia's cigarette, he also took one and lit it, keeping a distance from Gu Jia to avoid hurting her.

"I feel embarrassed to play with children. It's more fun to celebrate the New Year in the countryside."

After the fairy wand finished burning, Gu Jia took out her cell phone and took a picture.

"Jing, go home early tomorrow and take out your camera to take a family photo."

Wu Suqin came out of the house and said.

"it is good."

Zhou Jing also felt that they should take a family photo while their grandparents were still alive, but the camera at home was too old, and there was no place in the county town that sold decent cameras. Zhou Jing wondered if he could rent a camera at a photo studio. That would definitely be no problem if he had the money, or he could just hire a photographer to take some good photos. He had to go to a photo studio to develop the photos.

"Auntie, try it."

Gu Jia took two fairy wands and gave one to Wu Suqin.

“It’s not enough to have a camera, but you still have to find someone to take the photo. Otherwise, it depends on whether the people in the studio will come to take the photo.”

Wu Suqin thought about it carefully and realized that her son spent thousands of dollars on fireworks without blinking an eye, so he had no problem hiring a photographer.

"I think so too."

As night fell, Zhou Jing spread out all the fireworks and lit two small ones first.

After the old man and the old lady came to the yard, Zhou Jing lit a firework with a hundred bangs. As the fuse burned, the firework shot up into the sky with a whoosh and exploded in the night sky above the house, turning into brilliant sparks that lit up the night sky one after another. All the neighbors came out of their houses and stood on the street looking at Zhou Jing's house.

"beautiful."

Gu Jia stood under the eaves, looking up at the night sky.

"Are you pretty?"

Zhou Jing looked at Gu Jia's face. The brilliant colors of the fireworks shone on Gu Jia's fair face. Fireworks sparkled in her bright eyes, making her look even more charming.

"What do you think?"

Gu Jia asked back with a smile.

“Fireworks are more beautiful.”

Zhou Jing put his hands on Gu Jia's shoulders and pinched her face with his right hand.

Gu Jia was not satisfied with this answer. She reached behind and pinched the boy's leg, "I'll give you one more chance."

"Fireworks are beautiful, but they are short-lived. Your beauty will never fade."

Zhou Jing thought for a moment and said.

"That's pretty much it."

"."

After the 100-bang fireworks ended, Zhou Jing lit the 200-bang ones, and then the 10,000-bang firecrackers, scattering them in circles in the yard.

"Jingming, get up early and sweep the floor. Don't let your grandfather do it for you."

The fireworks are very noisy, Wu Suqin said loudly.

"Grandpa, don't worry about it tomorrow morning. I'll get up and sweep the floor."

Zhou Jing said to the old man.

"I'm not tired, I'll sweep."

The old man doesn't have to do anything all day now, and he feels uncomfortable sitting idle all the time.

Gu Jia leaned close to Zhou Jing and said with a smile, "Come back every Chinese New Year."

"Do you feel that celebrating the New Year in the city is boring?"

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

"It's a long way off."

In Gu Jia's opinion, cities only have advantages over the countryside in terms of employment and education. As for medical care, living in the countryside without air pollution, safer food, and no noise pollution should be able to avoid many diseases.

After the fireworks and ten thousand firecrackers were set off, the yard was full of debris.

"Sweeping such a large yard is physically demanding. Let's get up early tomorrow morning to sweep it."

Gu Jia followed the boy back to the house.

Zhou Jing nodded, took a can of Coke from the refrigerator, and asked Gu Jia what she wanted to drink.

"I can't drink a can, pour me a glass."

Gu Jia was particularly envious of the boy's physique, as he never gained weight no matter how much he ate. She would comfort herself by exercising more after drinking a glass of carbohydrate water.

After watching two episodes of TV with his family, Zhou Jing and Gu Jia went back to their room to rest. Zhou Jing asked Gu Jia if she wanted to do something bad.

"I can't help but make a sound."

Gu Jia shook his head decisively.

Zhou Jing bit her ear and said, "Wash yourself and I'll give you **"

"Let's get together then!"
