Rebirth: Starting from a Trainee Teacher

Chapter 92 The vacation is over
The National Day holiday passed quickly and it was October 10th before we knew it.

Chen Jiaqian has been living with Zhou Jing since the 2nd. Because it has been raining during the National Day holiday, the weather is still cloudy today, and the weather seems to be raining from time to time, as if the sky has trouble urinating.

We couldn't go anywhere on rainy days, so we stayed in the house almost all the time, watching movies and surfing the Internet.
Zhou Jing really likes this kind of holiday as it saves him from having to go shopping with girls.

If Zhou Jing wants to travel, he will definitely not choose holidays.

Compared to crowds of people, Zhou Jing prefers deserted places.

"What time do you leave for the train station?"

Chen Jiaqian bought a train ticket back to Tangdu at 9:20 in the morning. She woke up at around 6 o'clock and checked the time.

"Leave at half past eight."

I picked up the ticket yesterday, so it’s not too late to leave at 8:50.

Chen Jiaqian pulled her hair out from under Zhou Jing's arm and asked, "Are you willing to let me go?"

"If I can't bear to leave you, are you willing to stay and work here?"

Zhou Jing asked back.

"It's so annoying." Chen Jiaqian said distressedly, "It's really hard to be a lawyer here, and it's even harder to be a legal affairs officer."

Chen Jiaqian has a difficult decision to make: moving from a big city on the plains to a small city on the plateau, or to a third- or fourth-tier city in the loess desert area, where there is no job advantage and it is far from home. Ideals and reality are always full of contradictions.

"It's not easy for me to develop in Tangdu. One of my roommates interned at one of the Big Four banks and left after less than two months. You can't get ahead in a bank without connections and resources. At least you can live an easy life here. In Tangdu, it's hard for me to guarantee you a decent life."

The problems faced by Zhou Jing and Chen Jiaqian are common to many long-distance couples. Since neither of them is willing to compromise, they have no choice but to go their separate ways.

“Actually, my requirements are not high.”

"Come on, girls' demands are only going to get higher and higher."

Zhou Jing interrupted her decisively.

Chen Jiaqian was speechless, "Are you sure you can get a formal position after you become a regular employee?"

"Don't talk about work. I'm not sure right now."

Zhou Jing pretended to be impatient as he could never avoid work issues.

Chen Jiaqian closed her mouth unhappily. After experiencing these few days, she had become more open-minded. This kind of thing could only be considered and discussed slowly. She lay down for a while, then got up after 7:30 to pack her things.

Zhou Jing also got up, went out to buy breakfast, and came back with breakfast. After breakfast, Chen Jiaqian continued to clean up.

“Do you regret not getting the answer you wanted?”

Zhou Jing asked the girl who was bending over the bed and folding clothes.

"I don't regret it." Chen Jiaqian paused and said, "Because I loved you."

"Eat on the road."

Zhou Jing took out the bowl of chocolates he bought for Chen Jiaqian and put it into the bag of fruits and snacks he bought for Chen Jiaqian.

Chen Jiaqian took a look and felt a sweet feeling in her heart. No matter what, their relationship was finally back on track. The only thing left before they could officially get back together was the work issue. In the future, they could chat or meet anytime they wanted, without having to struggle to find excuses whenever they wanted to chat like they did some time ago.

“Are you going to school this year?”

"If it's not important, I won't go. I'll go to Tangdu to see you during the winter break."

The future development is full of unknowns, and Zhou Jing hopes that Chen Jiaqian can leave with a smile this time.

As a teacher, Zhou Jing certainly cannot take leave easily.

Chen Jiaqian could understand that the boy would be very satisfied to be able to see her during the winter vacation.

After packing up, Chen Jiaqian took out her wallet and asked, "How much did it cost to book the hotel room?"

"I won't look for you if you do this." Zhou Jing gave her the money pack and continued, "My place has low costs and less pressure in life. When you have more money, you can consider financial independence."

"That cost you money."

Chen Jiaqian was feeling a little uncomfortable at first, but after hearing the boy say that, she felt much more comfortable and was very touched.

"Stop looking so sad, smile."

Zhou Jing pinched the girl's face, which looked a little melancholy due to separation.

Chen Jiaqian forced a smile.

"It's uglier than crying."

"Then don't look."

Chen Jiaqian cried and laughed as she pushed Zhou Jing to the edge of the bed and hit him twice.

It was getting late, so Zhou Jing didn't continue flirting. The train was at 9:20, and he left the house at 8:30. It would take him less than 8:50 to get to the train station by taxi, so he had more than enough time.

"The transportation here is really convenient. Is there an airport?"

After getting off the car, Chen Jiaqian looked at the time and said.

"Yes, it's quite far from the airport."

Zhou Jing pulled the suitcase with his left hand and protected Chen Jiaqian with his right hand as they walked through the crowd. As the time for ticket inspection got closer, Chen Jiaqian became more and more depressed. It was really not pleasant for the two of them to be in different places.

"Is it convenient to take a bus from Tangdu Railway Station to where you rent a house?"

Zhou Jing took out a piece of chocolate, tore it open and gave it to Chen Jiaqian.

“Very convenient. Take bus No. 258 and get off at Taibai South Road Station, and you will be right next to the community.”

Chen Jiaqian bit off half of the chocolate and put the other half into Zhou Jing's mouth.

"That's convenient. How about the other person you're renting with?"

Zhou Jing knew that place. It was not far from Jixiang Village. In his previous life, the two of them rented a house in Jixiang Village for two years.

Chen Jiaqian is now in a group of three, one of her roommates is her college roommate and the other is a stranger.

"It's OK. I'm a teacher, teaching English in a tutoring institution."

"Let me know when you get to your place."

The two did not have much time to be intimate, as it was soon time for ticket checking. Zhou Jing watched the girl check her ticket and enter the station before returning. He turned on his cell phone on the way, as his cell phone had been turned off for the past few days and it was a rare moment of peace and quiet.

【What time do you arrive in Yushi】

As soon as I turned on my phone, I received a message from Liu Hanyu.

Zhou Jing: [It’s about noon. Have you been working overtime these days?]

Liu Hanyu: [Yes, the company started production on the 20th. Recently, we have been busy with various employee assessments, new employee training and military training. Things will get better after the company runs smoothly.]

Zhou Jing: [The new company has just opened. I am busy now, but as a veteran, I have great opportunities for promotion in the future. Can you come back after get off work today? I brought dates from my hometown.]

Liu Hanyu: [I can come back early today. I get off work at 12 o'clock and have a half day off in the afternoon. I won't talk about it now. I have something to do.]

After returning to his residence, Zhou Jing simply tidied up the house and started writing novels. He hadn't written in the past few days, so he published all the manuscripts he had saved.

My cousin Wu Yuan came to school today and arrived at the bus station at around 1:00 p.m. She brought some things for Zhou Jing, and Zhou Jing went to the bus station to pick her up.

"What have you done these days?"

Wu Yuan waved to Zhou Jing as she got out of the car.

"Two college classmates came to take them out for a few days. What did they bring?"

Zhou Jing took out the box from the bottom of the car and said.

"This box is yours. It has apples and dates. This is a pancake for you."

Wu Yuan only has a backpack of her own.

"With such a big box, how did your monthly exam go?"

Zhou Jing carried the suitcase and took his cousin to eat first.

"I feel I'm good in math, English, politics, history, geography, and biology. I think I'll be lucky if I can pass physics and chemistry."

Since she has already decided to study liberal arts, Wu Yuan doesn’t care about physics or chemistry.

"That's good. If you can't get above 130 in math, don't tell me your score."

Zhou Jing scored 147 in mathematics in the first monthly exam that year, ranking first in the whole grade, which can be said to be a stunning achievement.

"130, that should be fine. I estimated 138."

Wu Yuan also felt ashamed to ask her cousin for tutoring if her score was below 130. Every time after listening to her cousin's tutoring, she felt enlightened. Moreover, her math in junior high school was taught by her uncle, so she had a good foundation. She scored 120 out of 116 in the high school entrance examination, and she pulled down a lot of points in physics, chemistry and Chinese, otherwise she would have applied to Experimental Middle School.

After dinner, Zhou Jing took a taxi and took a detour to drop his cousin off at the intersection of the No. 10 Middle School. Then he returned to his residence. There was an apple box that was almost as big as two beer boxes and could hold a lot of things, but it was too troublesome to carry these specialties home by himself. The ones he brought back were all good things and could be eaten by himself or given to others.

Gu Jia’s share is definitely indispensable. Zhou Jing had agreed with Gu Jia that they would watch a movie together during the holidays. However, Chen Jiaqian’s arrival disrupted all of Zhou Jing’s routines, so he could only post a message saying that he was going back to his hometown to work.

After eating some dates before squatting on the box, Zhou Jing took a plastic bag and packed two portions of apples and red dates.

"I'm so tired. I only have half a day off in a seven-day vacation."

Liu Hanyu had the afternoon off. When she got home from work at noon, she went straight to Zhou Jing and started complaining as soon as they met.

“Is there triple pay?”

"I don't know if there is an internship period, but there are benefits. Our company provides everything, including shampoo, shower gel, hand soap, laundry detergent, toothpaste, and towels. We give employees two of each every month."

Although busy, Liu Hanyu feels more and more that this company is good and the benefits are excellent.

"The treatment is really good."

While Liu Hanyu went to the bathroom, Zhou Jing collected the socks that Chen Jiaqian had washed last night but were not dry on the balcony.

"Zhou Jing, why does your room have a special fragrance?"

When Liu Hanyu washed her hands, she smelled the scent of skin care products that girls usually use on the faucet.

"My ex-girlfriend was here."
