Rebirth: Starting from a Trainee Teacher

Chapter 55 Yang Wenwen's Unknown Feelings about Zhou Jing
"Zhou Jing's egg custard is really good. CC, open your mouth and try it."

Yang Wenwen called her daughter over, held her on a chair against the wall, took a small bowl and filled it with half a bowl of rice. Before feeding her daughter the egg custard, she tasted it herself. It was just the right taste, not too old or too tender, not too bland or too salty. The aroma of soy sauce and chopped green onions was mixed with a faint scent of sesame. Yang Wenwen couldn't help but praise the boy's cooking skills.

"what!"

The little girl opened her mouth wide.

"How's it going? Is it delicious?"

Yang Wenwen gently fed it into her daughter's mouth with a spoon.

"Good seven."

The little girl smacked her lips and opened them wide.

"I haven't thanked Uncle Zhou yet. I want to say thank you for the hospitality. Uncle Zhou, you've worked hard."

Yang Wenwen took some tissue and wiped her daughter's chin and mouth corners and said.

"Thank you Uncle Zhou for the hospitality. You have worked hard, Uncle!"

The little girl tilted her head and smiled happily, her leaky teeth made her look sour and cute.

"It's not hard. Eat well and Uncle Zhou will cook for you next time. If you don't eat well, I won't cook for you." Zhou Jing sat opposite Yang Wenwen and her daughter, picked up a small piece of braised pork with not much fat, fed it to the little girl and said, "Is it hot?"

"Do not."

The little girl shook her head and opened her mouth.

After making sure it was not hot, Zhou Jing handed it to the little girl's mouth.

"Zhou Jing's cooking skills are really good, catching up with my mom." Yang Wenwen put some egg custard in her daughter's bowl, put three pieces of braised pork, and a few pieces of mushrooms in it, and then pointed at the cola chicken wings and asked, "Is this braised chicken wings?"

"No, it's cola chicken wings. How about trying it, Teacher Yang?"

Zhou Jing guessed that Yang Wenwen probably had never eaten cola chicken wings.

"Coke chicken wings, I haven't heard of them before." Yang Wenwen curiously picked up a piece of chicken wing and put it in the bowl. She pulled up her bangs and lowered her head to gently bite a small piece of meat and said in surprise: "It really tastes like Coke. How are you making it?"

"It's very simple, much simpler than braised chicken wings."

Zhou Jing explained to Yang Wenwen in detail how to make cola chicken wings, and she could learn it right away.

"This is the first time I've heard of this method. Is CC delicious?"

The cola chicken wings were not spicy at all, but rather sweet. Yang Wenwen tore off a piece of meat and fed it to her daughter.

"Okay, seven. I want more."

Children generally like to eat sweets. The little girl was attracted by the sweet cola flavor of cola chicken wings after taking a bite.

"Your Uncle Xiao Zhou is such an all-around handsome guy. I wonder what kind of girl can be worthy of him."

Yang Wenwen pressed the chicken wings with a spoon, tore off the meat and put it into her daughter's bowl, and ate the skeleton clean herself.

"I can only cook some simple home-cooked meals."

While eating, Zhou Jing sometimes looked at Yang Wenwen and sometimes at the little girl. The usually deserted house was now filled with warmth because of the arrival of Yang Wenwen and her daughter, especially the little girl's laughter.

"The braised pork is also very good. By the way, do I need to add salt to the cola chicken wings?"

Yang Wenwen seemed not to have heard Zhou Jing mention salt just now.

"No, light soy sauce and dark soy sauce are enough."

"really tasty."

Yang Wenwen thought that she could make it more often for her daughter in the future. The ingredients and method of making cola chicken wings are simple, and they are suitable for children.

"I also want that."

Hearing the two adults eating the crunchy lotus root slices, CC said with a greedy look on his face.

"This is called lotus root slices. It's a little spicy. Try it and see if you can eat it."

Yang Wenwen picked up a piece of lotus root and handed it to her daughter.

The little girl stuck out her tongue and licked it, shaking her head because it was so spicy.

Knowing that children cannot eat spicy food, Zhou Jing made only the cold lotus root slices which was slightly spicy among the five dishes.

"Teacher Yang's family is from Guanzhong. She should be able to eat spicy food, right?" Zhou Jing said as he picked up a piece of braised pork for the little girl.

"It was okay when I was in college, but after coming here, I don't like spicy food anymore."

After the meal, Yang Wenwen helped to clean up the dishes and let Zhou Jing play with his daughter while she washed the dishes.

"I'm not busy all day. Teacher Yang, please come and visit my house. You can see the bedroom and this one."

Zhou Jing pushed Yang Wenwen's shoulders and gently pushed herself away to clean the table. The hand that was pushing Yang Wenwen's shoulders could clearly feel the straps under her T-shirt, and Zhou Jing's heart couldn't help but tremble.

Then Yang Wenwen helped to bring the plates to the kitchen.

After the table was cleaned, Zhou Jing took Yang Wenwen to the bedroom.

Zhou Jing folded the quilt today. The bedroom is clean and tidy enough for people to visit. In fact, the bedroom only has a bed, two wardrobes, a bookcase and a table.

"Do you like reading books?"

Yang Wenwen immediately noticed a book next to the pillow on the bed, and there were also some books on the bookcase.

Zhou Jing held the little girl's hand and said, "Take a look when you have nothing to do."

"I remember you liked reading when you were in high school."

Yang Wenwen nodded and stopped in front of the bookshelf to see what books were there. There were Fortress Besieged by Qian Zhongshu, Border Town by Shen Congwen, One Hundred Years of Solitude by Marquez, Don Quixote by Cervantes, etc. In addition to novels, there were also books on university software programming.

“Influenced by Teacher Yang.”

Zhou Jing felt a little embarrassed when talking about his love of reading in high school, as Yang Wenwen had given him a copy of Youth Digest and had not yet returned it.

Yang Wenwen thought it was strange, so she picked up One Hundred Years of Solitude, patted the boy and said, "I didn't teach you to read novels instead of studying hard."

“Fortress Besieged, Dream of the Red Chamber, and Oliver Twist were all recommended by Teacher Yang.”

Zhou Jing didn't hide either. He let Yang Wenwen hit him obediently. It didn't hurt but he was happy.

"They were all recommended by the famous book guide in the Chinese textbook. I asked you to study English well but you couldn't remember them, but you remembered them so well when I asked you to read novels. Besides, your Chinese grades didn't improve. You didn't do as well as your English grades. How dare you say that?"

Yang Wenwen couldn't help but complain in a rather unpleasant tone.

After letting it all out, Yang Wenwen laughed at herself inwardly, wondering why she was still complaining like a little girl.

But I am not old, only 28, still in the best years of my life, it’s just that these few years have been so bad.

"Teacher Gu wouldn't let me say that she taught me English, and Teacher Yang wouldn't let me say that I taught me Chinese. It turns out that teachers all like students with good grades."

Zhou Jing pretended to sigh.

Yang Wenwen immediately said unhappily: "Honestly, how did I treat you in high school?"

"Teacher Yang is the best to me."

Zhou Jing quickly put on a smile.

"Don't be dissatisfied. When I heard that you liked surfing the Internet, I visited all the Internet cafes near the school on weekends."

Yang Wenwen tapped the boy with the book again and added.

"."

Zhou Jing was a little confused after hearing this. He didn't expect that Yang Wenwen had such an unknown behind-the-scenes story about him.

"Listen to their nonsense, I just go to the Internet cafe occasionally to download songs. Those classmates are really something. They often ask me to help download songs and then betray me behind my back."

Zhou Jing did go online a lot in high school, but usually not in Internet cafes near the school, but on the pedestrian street.

Bai Xiyao's family opened an Internet cafe on the pedestrian street. They transferred the business last year. On the one hand, the equipment in the Internet cafe was old, and on the other hand, they felt that the business near the middle school could not last long, and it was only a matter of time before minors were banned from entering the Internet cafe. Therefore, Bai Xiyao's family did not replace the equipment with new ones. After the transfer, they opened a new one outside Yushi College.

"Fortunately, I didn't disappoint Teacher Yang's high expectations."

Zhou Jing was touched when he learned that Yang Wenwen had visited him in the Internet cafe. It was rare to see a young female teacher go to the Internet cafe alone to supervise her students.

"It's good to understand. When I first became a teacher, it was really heartbreaking to see my students degenerate into depravity."

"Now I understand how Teacher Yang feels."
