Rebirth: Starting from a Trainee Teacher

Chapter 43 Chen Jiaqian has a lot to say

Zhou Jing had never expected to receive greetings from Chen Jiaqian on Teacher's Day. After all, the trigger for their breakup was that Zhou Jing insisted on becoming a teacher.

Chen Jiaqian had never compromised on Zhou Jing's job as a teacher during the summer vacation, but now she wishes Zhou Jing a happy Teacher's Day.

I don’t know whether Chen Jiaqian regrets breaking up with Zhou Jing because of his choice, or whether she regrets never thinking from Zhou Jing’s perspective, but one thing is certain: Chen Jiaqian is not as strong as before.

Zhou Jing suddenly realized something:
Perhaps I shouldn't have blindly obeyed Chen Jiaqian from the beginning. I shouldn't have kept compromising and swallowing my anger in the face of Chen Jiaqian's spoiled daughter temper. I should have confronted her when I had to.

It's not good for two people to quarrel all the time, nor is it good for two people to compromise all the time.

The peace of a country is achieved through fighting, but can the peace between two people be achieved through quarreling?

Quarrel at the head of the bed and make up at the foot of the bed?

However, there are also many breakups and divorces due to quarrels.

Maybe it rolled out.

Zhou Jing remembered a sentence he had read in a book: There is no conflict between lovers or couples that cannot be resolved by love. If there is, then have another one.

It makes some sense from the perspective of conservation of energy.

If you don’t have the energy to argue, you naturally can’t start an argument, but this is suitable for the traditional era.

The most important thing now is rationality.

【You can actually wish me a happy Teacher's Day】

After a few minutes, Zhou Jing replied to Chen Jiaqian.

[What you do now has nothing to do with me, I'm just saying hello as an ordinary friend]

[We said we should part ways amicably, don’t you even plan to be just ordinary friends?]

Chen Jiaqian herself felt that she was saying one thing and thinking another. At the beginning, Zhou Jing decided to be a teacher in his hometown without leaving any room for negotiation, and directly proposed to break up, which made Chen Jiaqian so angry that she almost deleted the contact information. After slowly calming down, she was still angry that Zhou Jing was so decisive, but no matter how angry she was, she couldn't help missing him and looking forward to it.

[That's not what I meant. You should be off work now.]

How could Zhou Jing not understand Chen Jiaqian's thoughts.

No matter it is a boy or a girl, if they can let go after breaking up, they will not actively contact each other as ordinary friends. Taking the initiative to contact each other means that they still cannot let go.

Saying they are just ordinary friends is pure self-deception.

Zhou Jing only needs to give up being a teacher, or even not give up being a teacher. As long as he is willing to take the initiative to come back, he can get back together with Chen Jiaqian. As for work matters, he can think about it in the long run. After all, they are both only seniors.

However, Zhou Jing did not expose Chen Jiaqian's thoughts, and it was even more impossible for him to take the initiative to reconcile, so they broke up.

[I'm back at my place, but I have to work overtime tonight. I have two contracts to review. What about you? ]

Chen Jiaqian previously said that being a teacher had no future, and after the internship she no longer had the initial vision for her job.

Being a lawyer is not easy. With a monthly salary of a little over 2,000 yuan during the internship period, it is hard to support oneself. The year before obtaining the lawyer's license is the hardest. One year after obtaining the lawyer's license, one still has to endure. As the salary in the law firm is low and she has no resources to work on her own, she even considered whether she should go to work as a legal officer in a company after obtaining her lawyer's license.

Zhou Jing: [There is math tutoring in the evening self-study class, 7:30]

Chen Jiaqian: [Then you go ahead and get busy]

Zhou Jing: [Bye, let’s talk again when we have time]

After putting down the phone, Chen Jiaqian felt inexplicably lost, but she was also very angry when she felt that Zhou Jing seemed relaxed.

Does he really not care at all about the two and a half years of relationship?

Aren’t you sad at all after the breakup?
Are all boys so open-minded after breaking up?
Or was my previous feelings for her just a casual affair, and I started dating her because I was lonely in college?
And it’s first love.

Wasn't I his first love?
There were many things Chen Jiaqian wanted to ask clearly, but she didn't want the other party to feel that she couldn't let it go, so she could only sulk by herself.

“Don’t pile up nostalgia to make the plot bloody. Why ruin the classic after loving it for so many years?”

After closing the QQ chat box, Zhou Jing whistled softly a few times.

At this time, Zhou Jing was the only one in the office. There were three class teachers in Office 107. The class teacher of Class , Cao Long, had a child who was already in college, and his wife cooked for Cao Long in the school dormitory. Yang Wenwen's mother cooked for him at home.

Teachers who are not class teachers do not need to work during the fourth self-study class in the afternoon, and do not need to come to the office at night. Only Zhou Jing, a single dog, has no time to cook and no one to cook for him, and can truly treat the school as his home.

"Did Zhou Jing have dinner at school or outside?"

It was almost seven twenty-five when Yang Wenwen came to the office and asked.

"School." Zhou Jing looked up and said, "When Teacher Yang first became a teacher, how did he arrange his time?"

"Life is very simple for a person. If you don't want to cook in the school cafeteria or eat out, you can cook something simple when you are not busy. There is more time at noon. When you don't have classes in the morning, you can go back to the dormitory to cook and prepare the dishes. After class, you can just stir-fry some dishes. The same goes for the afternoon. Being a class teacher is just a way to take some time out from your busy schedule."

Yang Wenwen said as she recalled.

There is no good cooking environment in the school dormitory. Zhou Jing prefers to buy food, and the poor cooking conditions affect his performance.

The bell for evening self-study rang on time. Zhou Jing took his math textbook and went to check his class first. The evening self-study for Class 1 and 2 on Monday was Chinese tutoring, and the Chinese teacher was Ai Xiaohui.

"Teacher Key"

Squad leader Cao Xiaoxiao gave Zhou Jing the key to the mobile phone cabinet in the corridor.

Zhou Jing originally wanted to ask the squad leader to keep it, but then he thought it would be better for him to keep it himself so as not to make the squad leader's work more difficult.

"If you need to make a phone call urgently, you can contact me, or borrow a mobile phone from other teachers. You can also use the landline in the teacher's office. It's all free, so everyone can just study with peace of mind and don't worry about losing contact."

"You are too old to lose contact."

Although students are not used to handing in their papers on their mobile phones, they have to admit that the school is very thoughtful for the students.

"Mr. Zhou, can day students attend three nights?"

"It's OK if you live close to home, but be careful on your way home at night, especially girls, try not to take side roads, and learn to protect yourself."

"It's okay. The girls in our class are all very safe."

"Li Bo, what do you mean? You look like a sour jujube, and you have the nerve to say that about others?"

"That's right, I look like a crooked melon or a jujube."

"Li Bo, do you think you can just say this casually?"

This boy undoubtedly angered all the girls in the class. He was extremely brave, even though he was telling the truth.

In terms of looking natural without makeup, there are a few girls in Class 1 and 2 who are okay, but God opened a door and closed a window at the same time. The ones with pretty faces are seriously short, the ones with good figures have average faces, and the ones with nice figures and nice faces are ruined by acne.

"Okay, quiet. Did you study high school math during the summer vacation?"

Zhou Jing interrupted them and raised the compulsory textbook in his hand.

“There are no books!”

"I don't have any excuses, I can't borrow money!"

"Have you seen it, Mu Qi?"

"I didn't watch it either, but I don't make excuses."

"Preview the first lesson carefully before class tomorrow. You must develop the habit of previewing in high school, especially math. I'm not saying this just because I teach math. If you're planning to choose liberal arts in your second year of high school, you'll have an advantage if you're good at math. If you're studying science, you'll have more room for improvement if you're good at math, physics, chemistry, and biology."

"For science subjects, mathematics determines the upper limit of comprehensive science."

Zhou Jing, who just became a teacher, felt a little bit stressed. It is now mid-September, and the first monthly exam will be held on the weekend after the National Day holiday. Not to mention the overall performance of the class, the math results cannot be too bad.

After the bell rang, Zhou Jing went to the next class, Grade 11.

"This is our math teacher. I'm sure you've all met him recently. Everyone, welcome Teacher Zhou."

Cao Long, the head teacher of Class 1, usually calls Zhou Jing "Xiao Zhou", and formally introduces him as Teacher Zhou in the classroom.

"Clap clap clap!"

Warm applause immediately broke out in the classroom, and Zhou Jing officially started his teaching journey amid the applause.
