Rebirth: Starting from a Trainee Teacher

Chapter 621: Cheating to give birth to a daughter series
"On the second day of the first lunar month, a high-ranking official from the county will come to inspect our village. How about Zhou Jing represent our village to receive him?"

After the pleasantries, Village Committee Secretary Zhao Jianguo got down to business.

"Row."

Zhou Jing couldn't refuse such a thing.

Qing County is a long-standing poverty-stricken county. It has finally produced a big entrepreneur, so the county must want Zhou Jing to contribute. Zhou Jing can understand that, but Qing County has no advantages or industries, and no geographical advantages. Apart from giving money directly, Zhou Jing doesn't know of any good poverty alleviation projects.

"Take one of mine. Big boss, can you tolerate my bad cigarettes?"

Zhao Jianguo took the cigarette Zhou Jing handed to him and gave his first cigarette to Zhou Jing.

"I don't smoke, so I can't tell whether it's good or bad."

Zhou Jing took the cigarette and handed it to the old man.

Zhao Jianguo said, "It's a good habit. You must be very busy with such a big business. When are you leaving?"

Zhou Jing said, "On the seventh day of the first lunar month, are there usually any young people in the village?"

"Not many. There aren't many young people in the entire township. The township school now only has a kindergarten and an elementary school, with less than 30 students in total."

"That's not a small amount. School should be free now. Do students eat at home?"

There are more students in township schools than Zhou Jing imagined, and Zhou Jing thinks he can support the township schools.

"The school cafeteria prepares meals, and the school provides free lunch and dinner. Parents can pick up children after evening self-study classes. The country's policies for poor mountainous areas like ours are impeccable. Children don't have to spend a penny to go to school. Parents just need to send their children to school. Even if there are only one or two students in a grade, the teachers will teach very hard. There are also dance classes."

Zhao Jianguo took a sip of water and said.

"Yes, what subjects are taught in township primary schools?"

Zhou Jing nodded and said.

"Chinese, mathematics, ideology and morality, history, physical education, and English starting from the third grade."

“Very comprehensive.”

The educational level of the township primary school was beyond Zhou Jing's expectation. Zhou Jing thought that the cultural subjects only included Chinese, mathematics, ideology and morality, and history, but he didn't expect that there were also English and dance. When Zhou Jing was a child, the township primary school did not have English classes. From this point of view, China is impeccable. Looking around the world, there is no other country like China that has popularized education.

"When we were young, teachers were all half-baked. Now, teachers in townships are all graduates of formal kindergarten teacher training programs. Our village has a kindergarten, and one second-grade and one fourth-grade student go to the township primary school."

"."

After Zhao Jianguo left, Zhou Jing went to his and Gu Jia's room.

"Guess who's coming in."

Gu Jia covered the child's eyes and said.

"Dad~"

The little girl hid in the bed, with her head under the quilt and her buttocks exposed.

"Where's the cutie?"

Zhou Jing pretended to look around, walked to the kang and patted the child's butt.

"Ha~ Dad~"

The little girl crawled into the quilt, turned around, stuck her head out and showed a bright smile.

"It's so cold, warm Daddy's hands."

Zhou Jing stretched out his hand in front of the child.

The little girl crawled forward and hugged Zhou Jing's hand.

"You are really my dad's sweet little cotton-padded jacket."

Zhou Jing picked up the child and kissed him.

"The county official may come to see you on the second day of the first lunar month."

Gu Jia was very familiar with this kind of inspection. It was generally impossible for leaders of small places to go to the countryside for inspection during the Chinese New Year.

"Everything in the world is prosperous."

When meeting provincial leaders, Zhou Jing would be respectful and would give them face in the county. He would only come back to celebrate the New Year. On other days, Zhou Jing had no time to deal with them.

"Indeed, some leaders are unavailable to ordinary people when they want to see them, but leaders who are useful to them will take the initiative to curry favor with them." Gu Jia smiled and said, "Does Qing County have any good support projects?"

"We can raise cattle and sheep on a small scale. For example, we can give a few cows or ewes to poor households and let them raise them. When they give birth, we can keep the ewes and raise the males and sell them. We can control the number of cattle to around ten and the number of sheep to more. We can easily make 30,000 to 50,000 yuan a year."

"It's good for a farmer to earn 30,000 to 50,000 yuan a year. As long as you don't squander money, you can get out of poverty. If you become an official, you will definitely be a good person in your area."

Gu Jia felt that what Zhou Jing said about small-scale breeding was very suitable for modern rural areas, and the risks of small-scale breeding were negligible. Another point was that the rural areas here were all mountainous and not suitable for growing crops, and now farming in rural areas was not profitable at all, and beef and mutton were very expensive. Compared with growing grain, growing the land into fodder and raising a few cattle and sheep was both profitable and easy.

"It's a pity that my business was successful. If it had failed, I might have pursued a career in government."

The water in the pot boiled, and Zhou Jing put the child on the kang to prepare water for washing his feet.

"Don't feel sorry. It's better to start your own business. It's too complicated to pursue a career in government."

Gu Jia rode on the child to help him defecate, then took off the diaper and washed the child's feet and butt. The child's butt and feet had been smelling in the car for a whole day, and the smell was very unpleasant.

After washing the child, Zhou Jing took the child's toothbrush and toothpaste and brushed his teeth. Brushing a child's teeth is a very tiring task. After brushing his teeth, Zhou Jing coaxed the child and let Gu Jia wash up.

There was no guardrail on the kang, so at night, Zhou Jing let the child sleep between him and the child. After coaxing the child to sleep at around nine o'clock, Zhou Jing and Gu Jia chatted in a low voice across the child.

The next day is the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, and there are two days left until New Year’s Eve.

The child has stopped drinking milk at night. After that, he wakes up earlier in the morning, just after five o'clock, when it is not yet bright. After waking up, the child stares blankly as usual, sometimes looking at Zhou Jing on the left, and sometimes looking at Gu Jia on the right.

"e~Dad~Mom~"

I was stunned for a while, and then I heard the little girl's baby voice calling me. Her voice was hoarse and sounded even more sweet.

Zhou Jing and Gu Jia heard it but tacitly pretended not to hear it and continued sleeping, squinting one eye to observe the child.

"e~Dad~Mom~"

The child took a deep breath and continued to try to awaken his parents' love and coax himself.

The little girl had messy hair, sleepy eyes, and looked so cute and adorable.

"Mom~nn~"

Zhou Jing and Gu Jia continued to pretend to be asleep, but their parents' love could not awaken them. The child turned over and crawled out of his own quilt and burrowed into Gu Jia's quilt.

Zhou Jing reached a hand into the child's quilt and grabbed the child's feet.

"Dad~ho~Mom~mmmm~"

The little girl looked back, buried her head in Gu Jia's arms, and made some "ah ah ah" sounds, indicating that she wanted to drink milk.

"Are you awake?"

Gu Jia opened her eyes, kissed the child on the forehead and said.

"e~Momnn~"

"I haven't said I love you, Mom."

"Mom~ I love you~"

The little girl's baby voice was full of anxiety.

"Mom loves you too. It's much easier after weaning you off from night feedings."

Gu Jia pushed Zhou Jing's hand away, held the child in her arms and fed him. In the first three or four months, the child had to wake up two or three times a night to be fed, which made the adults physically and mentally exhausted. After adding complementary food, the child had to be fed once a night. Not long ago, the child was completely weaned from night feedings, and Gu Jia could finally sleep relatively soundly.

"Can I have something for Daddy?"

Zhou Jing kissed the back of the child's head and said.

The child was very absorbed in eating and didn't respond. Gu Jia smiled and said, "What if Dad wants to eat too?"

"How's Zhou Zhou's hair quality?"

Zhou Jing blew on the child's hair and said.

"Yes, your hair is thicker than that of other children. Do you want to bring some porridge with you when you go to the county town?"

Gu Jia smelled the child's hair and said.

"Bring it, bring it and receive the red envelope."

Grandma was at his uncle's house, and Zhou Jing asked the old lady to look after the child.

"Buy a piggy bank for your child to save red envelopes and New Year's money, and see how much money he can save when he grows up."

Gu Jia is not like many parents who "confiscate" their children's red envelopes and New Year's money in the name of custody.

"A piggy bank is not enough, we have to buy a piggy box." With Zhou Jing's status, he must have received red envelopes for the child. He received more than 100,000 red envelopes just for the full moon. Zhou Jing and Gu Jia did not open those red envelopes, and they are still in the red envelopes. It is estimated that they can save more than one million red envelopes before the child turns 18.

Gu Jia said: "You ask the company to develop a smart piggy bank for Zhou Zhou that is about one meter long, like an ATM."

"can."

Zhou Jing was thinking about designing an anti-theft piggy bank.

After eating and drinking, the child came out of Gu Jia’s arms, smacked his lips in satisfaction, and turned to look for Zhou Jing.

"Do your grandparents usually get up this early?"

Before half past five, I heard the old man and old lady in the next room get up, Gu Jia said softly.

"People in the countryside get up early. Even in the winter when there's nothing to do, they get up at five or six o'clock."

"But the country folk go to bed early."

The child woke up and Zhou Jing and Gu Jia wanted to sleep but couldn't. They played with the child for a while and then Gu Jia changed the child's diaper and got up. The kang was very warm when they slept at night, but it gradually became cold after the fire went out. It was winter and it was chilly when they got up in the morning. Zhou Jing came back with an electric heater, and Gu Jia got off the kang and plugged it in.

Seeing that Gu Jia had gotten up, Wu Suqin came over to light a fire in the house.

"Grandma~"

The child lay in Zhou Jing's arms, stretching his neck and shouting at Wu Suqin mischievously.

"Hey, did Zhou Zhou sleep well?"

"Say you slept well."

Zhou Jing taught the child to answer.

"Sleep~"

"Grandma will make you whatever you want to eat."

"You said you wanted to eat pumpkin."

"I want a pumpkin~"

"Did the old man chop all the firewood?"

Gu Jia came back from using the toilet outside and said as she looked at the firewood that Wu Suqin had brought into the house. The firewood was chopped thicker but was very suitable for burning in the stove.

"Well, the old man is a man who can't sit still. When the fruit trees in the orchard died, he cut them down and brought them back to burn."

"It's better to burn firewood in rural areas. Coal is not only prone to carbon monoxide poisoning, but also tends to blacken the walls."

Gu Jia had experienced life burning coal. When she was a child, she lived in a bungalow. The roof above the coal-burning stove was black. Moreover, the temperature of the coal was too high, making the house hot and dry. It was also dangerous when the stove was red hot.

The fire was lit and the kang was slowly getting warmer. Zhou Jing continued to lie there because someone had to coax the child.

"Dad~wumo mom~"

The little girl rested her head on Zhou Jing's arm and tried hard to speak.

"Did you dream about mom last night?"

Zhou Jingying's English has reached the CET-8 level, and she can roughly understand what the child wants to express.

"Um~nn mom~"

The little girl understood what he meant and laughed even more happily, sticking out her tongue as if she was breastfeeding.

"Did you dream that you wanted to eat grandma but your mother didn't give you any?"

Zhou Jing looked at his daughter and said.

"Hmm~"

The little girl kissed Zhou Jing on the face.

"Aren't you ashamed to still be breastfeeding at this age?"

Gu Jia rubbed the child's head and said.

Zhou Jing's heart was melted by the cuteness of his child, thinking about how he would sometimes stick out his tongue when he fell asleep, just like he was drinking milk.

After breakfast, Zhou Jing got up, carried the child to the next room, and went to wash his face.

"How much is the red packet for your grandma?"

Gu Jia prepared in advance the things she would need to take with her when going out at noon.

"Put on two thousand."

"Yuanyuan is still in school, so give her a red envelope. Grandma gave 2,000 yuan, so give 1,000 yuan to Yuanyuan. Are there any other children?"

Gu Jia took out the red envelope from the package and took out a bundle of cash from her own bag to put into the red envelope.

"I don't have any relatives, so I'll bring some 200 yuan."

Zhou Jing can be said to have risen rapidly in his career, and he knows that the children in the village cannot come empty-handed, otherwise they will become misers.

Gu Jia packed one two thousand yuan note, one thousand yuan note, twenty two hundred yuan notes, and ten five hundred yuan notes. It should be enough to give out during the Spring Festival in case she met children from acquaintances. Gu Jia also packed a few thousand yuan notes as she had relatives in Tangdu.

Since Teacher Gu is so thoughtful, Zhou Jing doesn’t have to worry.

Today's breakfast is boiled pumpkin, buns and cold dishes. Breakfast is a limited-time return to my hometown. Normally, there is no breakfast in my hometown. There are only two meals a day, lunch and dinner. Only when Zhou Jing and Gu Jia come back do I have three meals a day.

"Zhou Zhou is not hungry now. I'll feed him after the adults have eaten."

Gu Jia said to the old lady.

Zhou Jing went to the kang to eat while watching the child. The child walked up to Zhou Jing and sat down in his arms. The little girl's favorite place to sit was in Zhou Jing's arms.

"You're pinching your father again and not letting him eat properly?"

Gu Jia looked at the child and said.

The little girl was indifferent and felt very comfortable sitting in Zhou Jing's arms.

"Pumpkin, do you want to eat?"

Zhou Jing picked up a small piece of pumpkin pulp, blew on it, and used his lips to feel if it was no longer hot before feeding it to the child.

"Ah~hmmmm~"

The child raised her head and opened her mouth wide. Zhou Jing fed the pumpkin into her mouth, and the little girl smacked her lips happily.

After having lunch at home at noon, Zhou Jing, Gu Jia, Wu Suqin and the children went to the county town. The old man was worried that Zhou Jing's luxury car loaded with fireworks might burn, so he wanted to drive a three-wheeled motorcycle to pull the fireworks. Zhou Jing took Gu Jia and others and left first.

The countryside is even more lively on the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month. Usually, you rarely see cars on the road in the village, but today you can see them from time to time. When you meet Zhou Jing, a villager who is bringing children, you will give him a red envelope.

When we arrived in the county town, we went to my uncle's house first. My uncle had moved into a new house, and my cousin Wu Yuan and cousin Wu Hao came to the outside of the community to pick us up.

"Little friend, long time no see, did you miss your aunt?"

As soon as they met, Wu Yuan took the child from Gu Jia's arms.

"Aunt, happy new year to my brother and sister-in-law, I'm here."

Wu Hao greeted the New Year first and then took the thing from Zhou Jing's hand.

Wu Suqin asked: "When is Haohao going to get married?"

Wu Hao said: "I want to wait until Tangdu's house is ready. The house is not built yet."

"You don't need to wait for a house. You will get married sooner or later. Your parents will have less worries if you get married sooner. We have an empty house in Tangdu. I'll give you the key when we go there in the first month of the year. You can live there first. A man should cultivate himself and take care of his family before ruling the world. Once you have a family, you will naturally have a stronger sense of responsibility and be more steady in doing things."

Zhou Jing patted his cousin on the shoulder and said.

Gu Jia said, "That's right. If you are sure you want to get engaged, get engaged and get married as soon as possible. Delaying it will also be a drain on your relationship."

"Then we'll talk again after the New Year."

Wu Hao originally felt that he was still young, at only 24 years old, and was not in a hurry to start a family. But since his cousin, a successful man, suggested so, he decided to get married early.

"Brother, I don't know how cute a child is. You think it's troublesome now, but it won't be troublesome once you have one. Zhou Zhou, this is your uncle, call him."

Wu Yuan asked Zhou Zhou to call Wu Hao uncle.

"Jiujiu~"

The child blinked his watery eyes and cried in a baby voice, it was definitely a scam to have a daughter.

"Come here, uncle, give me a hug."

The little girl's cute appearance and soft voice successfully broke Wu Hao's fear of children, and he thought to himself that he must have a daughter.
