Rebirth: Starting from a Trainee Teacher

Chapter 7 Departure
After dinner, Zhou Jing went shopping alone. He passed by a novel rental store and went in to look around. There was a Xinhua Bookstore next to it. Zhou Jing came out of the novel rental store and went to Xinhua Bookstore again and bought a lecture note for the compulsory high school mathematics course.

My mother called Zhou Jing and asked him to go to the mobile phone hall to check his phone, preparing to replace his new phone before he went to work.

Zhou Jing didn't plan to change it. After hanging up the phone, he looked at the Nokia N70 he had used for more than three years. It was indeed time to change it. The [Down] key was severely deformed due to reading novels, so Zhou Jing strolled to the mobile lobby.

"Aren't you coming?"

Wu Suqin said as soon as they met.

"After I finished talking to you, my phone was covered with phlegm. What's your budget?"

Zhou Jing said while looking at his phone.

"Within three thousand."

Wu Suqin was prepared to spend a lot of money this time, as her son couldn't look too shabby when he went to work.

"Sister Wu's son is about to graduate from college, right?"

A young lady in the mobile hall looked at Zhou Jing.

"I'll be a senior next semester."

Zhou Jing answered politely with a smile.

"There's basically nothing to do in the senior year. Do you want to look for a job?"

"I found a job as a teacher at Yushi Experimental Middle School, teaching mathematics."

Wu Suqin was a little proud but she didn't show off.

"Experimental High School is very good. My second aunt's child is a sophomore in high school at the Experimental High School."

"."

Upon learning that Zhou Jing was the child of Wu Suqin, the manager of the business hall, the salesperson at the mobile phone counter in the hall became much more enthusiastic towards Zhou Jing. Whenever Zhou Jing was interested in a mobile phone, the salesperson would patiently introduce the advantages and disadvantages of the phone. They would not introduce the disadvantages of a mobile phone to ordinary customers, but would only introduce its advantages.

Zhou Jing has no performance requirements for current mobile phones, as long as they look good and feel good.

After looking around, Zhou Jing set his sights on two models from Samsung, a black sliding cover 708i and a candy bar 1200. Zhou Jing personally likes the candy bar model, but the appearance design of this sliding cover model is pretty good.

"The battery life of this model is a little worse. Normally, it lasts for eight to nine hours. If you chat a lot on QQ, it lasts for five to six hours. The 1200 model lasts a little longer."

The salesperson gave a detailed introduction.

“This one is more suitable for young people’s temperament.”

Wu Suqin came over and suggested that Zhou Jing choose the sliding cover model.

Then Zhou Jing chose the slider phone, and it was his first time using a slider phone.

After choosing the style, the salesperson gave Zhou Jing the purchase price and gave him a 2G memory card as a gift.

"Didn't you buy the junior high school textbooks?"

Wu Suqin opened her son's book and took a look.

"My plan has changed. The school asked me to teach high school directly. I will teach the third grade first on August 20th, and then teach the first grade when the school officially starts."

"Senior year? Senior year students are 21 or years old this year. Can you control students at the age of ?"

Wu Suqin was worried about her son.

"If there is something that cannot be suppressed by words, then use force."

Zhou Jing smiled and left the mobile hall.

Wu Suqin sent her son out and said, "Don't fight with students. If a student is really hopeless, you should give up on him. Whether you are a person or a teacher, you can't tolerate any injustice."

"I know. I'm not a fool."

Of course Zhou Jing understood, he was not a saint.

There is a very strange phenomenon in ethnic groups: no matter how excellent and united a group is, there will always be rebels.

Even if there are only two people in a group or brothers and sisters in the same family, there will be traitors.

Traitors seem to be an indispensable role in the group.

The county town is very small, with only one street. It takes only one or two cigarettes to walk from the south to the north of the city. Zhou Jing walked aimlessly until he arrived at his uncle's pancake shop. His aunt was making pancakes and his cousin was reading a book on the table.

"Brother, I envy you so much, you are so relaxed and free, when will I ever be able to endure it?"

Wu Yuan looked listless, her eyes full of longing for the world outside the door.

Aunt Zhang Mei stopped what she was doing, "Zhou Jing, have a pancake." "Half a portion is fine, don't put anything in it." Zhou Jing flipped through the geography textbook his cousin was reading and said, "The fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold, you should be able to understand the basics, right? Are you sure you want to study liberal arts?"

"Uh, I don't like physics and chemistry."

Wu Yuan nodded.

Zhang Mei brought the pancakes to the table and said, "Is it too early for Yuanyuan to decide to study literature now?"

"Not too early. Time is tight in the first year of high school, so we must focus on studying."

Zhou Jing said while eating pancakes.

After the customer left, Zhang Mei cleaned up the table and asked, "Will it be easier to find a job if you study science?"

Zhou Jing said: "Some science and engineering majors do have more flexible employment opportunities, but personal circumstances must also be considered."

Wu Yuan asked: "What are some good majors in liberal arts?"

"Law, accounting, teaching, and management are all good subjects for girls. Your personality is very suitable for these subjects."

“I like law and accounting.”

Wu Yuan nodded, picked up a pair of chopsticks and picked up a pancake to eat.

After eating the pancakes, Zhou Jing opened the compulsory mathematics course and explained the first set of set and function concepts to his cousin.

August came quickly, and Zhou Jing went to Yulin City on August 1st. His mother gave Zhou Jing 20,000 yuan, and Zhou Jing accepted it all with a shameless face. The novels Zhou Jing wrote during college did very poorly, and the royalties were barely enough for his college living expenses.

In any case, I have achieved self-reliance.

Zhou Jing is short of money at the moment. He needs money to rent a house before going to work, and there is no way he can buy a car. If he rents a house, he will have to get a bicycle, and also buy some decent clothes and shoes, all of which require money.

Zhou Jing could have just lived in the school dormitory and improved his living conditions after he earned money.

But he won't be stubborn if he has someone he can rely on with confidence.

Liu Hanyu returned to Yu City today and made an appointment with Zhou Jing to meet at the bus station. Liu Hanyu's cousin came to the station to see Liu Hanyu off. As soon as they met, Liu Hanyu said to her cousin, "He is a teacher at Experimental Middle School. If you pass the exam to Experimental Middle School next year, you may have a chance to become his student. Call me Teacher Zhou in advance."

The "he" Liu Hanyu was referring to was naturally Zhou Jing.

"Wow, Teacher Zhou."

Liu Hanyu's cousin admired him very much. The older brother who had played with her at her grandmother's house actually became a teacher.

"How many students are there in the class now?"

"There are more than a dozen of them. I don't think they have any hope of getting into the Experimental Middle School."

Liu Hanyu's cousin sighed. Junior high school is divided into Olympiad classes, key classes and ordinary classes. She is in the key class. Only students in the top five in the key class have a chance to be admitted to the Municipal Experimental Middle School.

"There's still one year left, come on."

Liu Hanyu encouraged her cousin.

After buying tickets, Zhou Jing and Liu Hanyu took the bus to Yulin City. The ticket for more than 180 kilometers cost 35 yuan per person. It was cheaper to take the train, 6.5 yuan for the green-skinned train and 12 yuan for the K-series train. However, the train was not convenient as the county town was more than 20 miles away from the railway station. There were two trains to the city every day, one at around 5 pm and the other at around 7 pm.

Liu Hanyu sat by the window, and Zhou Jing also wanted to sit by the window, so he prepared to sit in the row behind Liu Hanyu. Liu Hanyu didn't want to sit with others, so she asked Zhou Jing to sit next to her.

In fact, Zhou Jing didn't want to sit with a stranger, but it would be a different story if it was a beautiful woman.

Having a pleasing beauty sitting next to you can add a little color to a boring journey.

Zhou Jing has taken many trains and has never met a beautiful woman, but he has met someone with an S bag twice, both times on a train. One time, it was a young woman who sat opposite Zhou Jing. She took off her shoes and rubbed her feet in short black stockings on Zhou Jing's legs from time to time. It became more and more excessive, and she even stepped on the instep of Zhou Jing's feet and smiled at him. Zhou Jing said that she looked uglier when she smiled.

Zhou Jing thought that the law was unfair to men. If it were a man, wouldn’t he be criticized and educated?

Another time, it was with a female college student. We chatted a lot along the way. It was very late when we arrived at the destination. The girl said pitifully that the bus to the school had gone off work and she was a little scared to stay in the hotel alone. Zhou Jing asked her to go home with him. The girl actually dared to go. If she was prettier, Zhou Jing would have taken her in.

There were more and more people on the bus. Zhou Jing looked at the door and thought to himself that he had to get the money to buy the car as soon as possible, otherwise it would be very troublesome to go home from the city for more than four hours, and it would be inconvenient to carry some things with him.

"Where are you going to rent a house?"

Liu Hanyu took a sip of water and said.

"Baoning Road or Yongning Road."

"You need to buy some sheets and bedding, right? Do you want me to help you choose?"

"Okay."

Zhou Jing couldn't ask for more.
