Rebirth: Starting from a Trainee Teacher

Chapter 399 Zhou Jing is professional in taking care of pregnant women
"It's so cool, a great place to escape the summer heat. How much land do you have at home?"

Lying on the spacious kang, Gu Jia felt comfortable and poked the boy's cheek with her finger.

Zhou Jing shook his head. "I don't know either. The only good land is the one on the dam and the fruit tree land on the mountain. The transportation to other places is not good."

"This piece of land is great. When the children grow up, we can come back and live there in our old age!"

Gu Jia enjoys the pastoral life in the countryside. There is no air pollution, no noise, no light pollution, no fast pace of the city, no anxiety, but only blue sky and white clouds, birdsong and flowers, and it is a comfortable and natural place.

"Okay, Nongfu Shanquan has some fields."

Zhou Jing lay beside Gu Jia and kissed her slightly bulging belly.

Gu Jia tapped the boy's head and said, "Picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence, leisurely seeing the southern mountains, what's the next line?"

"The mountain air is beautiful at dusk, and the birds are flying back and forth. Can you recite the Peach Blossom Spring?"

Zhou Jing grabbed a tuft of Gu Jia's hair and brushed it across her ears.

"During the Taiyuan Period of the Jin Dynasty, people in Wuling made a living by fishing"

Gu Jia thought for a moment and began to recite.

"Teacher Gu is really amazing."

Zhou Jing rewarded Teacher Gu with a kiss.

"Chinese and English are my strengths." Gu Jia said proudly, "Can you get 60 points in the English test for the college entrance examination now?"

"60 points is no problem."

Zhou Jing's English isn't that bad.

Gu Jia expressed doubt.

Zhou Jing lay down and rested his head on Gu Jia's thighs. In the past, Zhou Jing liked to rest his head on Gu Jia's belly, but now he couldn't do that.

After lying down for a while, Gu Jia wanted to go to the toilet, so Zhou Jing accompanied her. There was a street light switch for the toilet at the door. Zhou Jing turned on the street light, sent Gu Jia to the toilet, and then listened to the sound of the chicken coop beside the vegetable garden.

"There are so many stars. Where is the Big Dipper?"

Coming out of the toilet, Gu Jia looked up at the sky.

Zhou Jing searched in the glittering starry sky and soon found seven spoon-shaped stars.

"Twinkle twinkle little stars, how I wonder where you are."

Gu Jia continued to look for other constellations in the night sky.

"Jing will serve the dishes the day after tomorrow."

Zhou Guozhong came back from his second uncle's house.

"OK."

After watching the stars in the yard for a while, Zhou Jing and Gu Jia went back to the house to rest, wash their faces, brush their teeth and soak their feet. Zhou Jing poured the footbath water and went to the kang to rub Gu Jia's legs.

It became Zhou Jing's habit to massage Teacher Gu's legs before going to bed.

You can't do bad things. Every day before going to bed, Zhou Jing rubs Teacher Gu's shoulders or legs to learn how to take care of pregnant women.

"My best friend said that during pregnancy, your legs will become numb, swollen, and your stomach will feel bloated. Do my legs look normal?"

It has been almost three months and Gu Jia has not felt the adverse reactions that her best friend mentioned.

Zhou Jing pinched Gu Jia's thighs with both hands, but there was no swelling at all.

Gu Jia looked at the boy and said with a smile: "Who taught you to be so good at taking care of women?"

"I learned everything by myself. I'm so smart."

Zhou Jing bit Gu Jia's nipple lightly and said with a smile.

Zhou Jing is professional in taking care of pregnant women. She smiled and continued, "Who can be more professional than a husband in taking care of a pregnant woman?"

"That's true." Gu Jia hugged the boy's head with a smile. There was no one she was more adept at handling than her own man.

The next day, July 3rd, the second uncle's house began to get busy. Zhou Jing went there early to help, and went home to find Gu Jia at lunch time.

The drum band is already in place, and the sound of gongs and drums is so loud that it can be heard in half the village. The music played by the drum band is neither sad nor festive, and does not make people feel the sadness of separation from life and death.

Zhou Jing thinks that the music and drums when an old person dies should be more festive, just like the black people carrying the coffin. Birth, aging, sickness and death are inevitable, and there is no need to create an atmosphere that only adds to the sadness. It is not easy for people to live a life, and passing away at an old age is also a relief.

"How much does a funeral cost in the countryside?"

Gu Jia held the bowl and whispered to Zhou Jing.

"It depends on the economic conditions of the host family. The cemetery is free. If the cemetery is occupied by someone else, it's fine if the land is not large. If the land is large, you can use your own land to provide for others. The main things that need to be spent are coffins, drum bands, and meals. The coffins usually cost several thousand, and the drum bands are within two thousand. For the banquet, there are twenty tables, and five hundred per table is definitely enough."

"And there are cigarettes and alcohol. Banquets in the countryside require a lot of cigarettes, alcohol and drinks. Cigarettes are handed out in boxes. If you take Furongwang and six-year-old Xifeng as the standard, ten thousand yuan is definitely not enough."

Zhou Jing roughly calculated and took out two boxes of cigarettes from his pocket. He gave two boxes for the whole morning.

"In reality, it's about 50,000. It feels worth it. This amount of money is not enough to buy a palm-sized cemetery in the city."

Gu Jia was surprised to see that he was actually giving out boxes of cigarettes.

It is rather troublesome to handle funerals in the countryside. The filial son has to kowtow at every turn, he has to kneel on the road to greet the bride's family, he has to kneel when the bride's family burns paper, he has to kneel when friends and relatives burn paper, he has to kowtow before the funeral and after the burial. It's okay for young people, but older people will get tired after standing for a long time, let alone kneeling. This bad habit should be simplified.

"Grandpa and grandma, just a token of your appreciation is enough."

Zhou Jing was worried that the old man and the old lady might not be able to cope with it, so he asked them to bow symbolically and sit aside.

Gu Jia stood in the crowd at the back and looked at the boy, thinking of Princess Huanzhu's Kneeling Easily.

It was already July 4th when they finished their work in the countryside. Before returning to the county town, Zhou Jing and Gu Jia went to their grandfather's fruit orchard to pick apricots.

“So fresh.”

Coming under the apricot tree, Gu Jia looked at the big red apricots on the tree and drooled.

"Pick up the hard ones and bring them to your mom for a BJ."

Zhou Jing picked two from below, gave one to Gu Jia and ate one himself.

Gu Jia picked a ripe one and tasted it. It was sweet and juicy, and tasted completely different from the ones bought in the city.

Zhou Guozhong drove up behind them. Wu Suqin came to the orchard and said to Gu Jia, "Don't eat too many apricots at one time. If you eat too much, your stomach will feel hot."

Wu Suqin is worried that eating too much will have adverse effects on pregnant women.

"Then I'll eat two less."

Gu Jia also felt it, and felt a warm feeling in her stomach after eating it.

After eating a few under the tree, Zhou Jing took a bag and climbed up the tree to pick more. When the bag was full, his father took it from below and poured it into a cardboard box.

"You guys go to Tangdu tomorrow to rest for a night and go to BJ the day after tomorrow."

Wu Suqin patted the leaves on her daughter-in-law's shoulder and said.

"Row."

This is what Zhou Jing and Gu Jia planned. There is no need to rush about company matters in a day or two, so they can go to Tangdu to spend more time with their father-in-law.

It was already evening when Zhou Jing arrived at his home in the county town. He went to Kaiyuan Internet Cafe to see how the Rhythm Master test went.

The game testing activity time has passed, but there are still people playing this game in the Internet cafe. The network administrator has saved the game test data during the activity intactly. Zhou Jing checked it and copied the test data to the hard disk. This data is very important and can be modified and optimized based on the test data before going online.

After returning home, Zhou Jing put the hard drive in his bag and took Gu Jia to see an old Chinese doctor for pulse diagnosis. This old Chinese doctor was a doctor of traditional Chinese medicine and was very famous in the county. Most people could not see him late at night, so Zhou Jing asked his father to contact him. One of the nephews of this old Chinese doctor was once his father's student.

Zhou Guozhong has been teaching for more than ten years and has many students all over the world. In this small county, it can be said that he has a wide network of contacts and can handle both the black and white worlds. If the gangs bully students in Zhou Guozhong's class, they will be punished.

Zhou Jing and Gu Jia had traveled a long distance these days, and the food they ate in the countryside was rather mixed. Zhou Jing took Gu Jia to see the old Chinese doctor. Since they could not go to the doctor's house empty-handed so late at night, Zhou Jing brought a box of milk and a pack of cigarettes.

Gu Jia is almost three months pregnant and has not experienced any of the adverse reactions her best friend mentioned. Instead, she is a little worried.
