Chapter 294 Sister-in-law
After taking a nap with Yang Wenwen, Zhou Jing returned to his residence and wrote a novel for more than two hours before going to Gu Jia's house at around four o'clock.
During the Mid-Autumn Festival, Zhou Jing must not go to Gu Jia's house empty-handed, and he must be willing to bring something. For this reason, Zhou Jing started preparing two days in advance. He brought a few kilograms of mutton, a bottle of red wine worth more than a thousand yuan, and bought some fruits on the way.
"Why do you carry so many things?"
Gu Jia went out of the community to pick up Zhou Jing and saw fruits, meat and wine in the trunk of the car, just like New Year's goods.
"It's the Mid-Autumn Festival!"
Zhou Jing carried all the things.
"That's not necessary. My family bought some fruit today." Gu Jia took the fruit and took the boy's arm and said, "How's the progress of the Shenhua project?"
"I have completed almost one-third of it. It is going smoothly and not as difficult as I imagined."
The project has been underway for nearly half a month. According to Zhou Jing's estimate, it will definitely not be completed in one month. If there is no delay, it will take about 40 days.
"Everything is difficult at the beginning. My dad said that the power bureau has a project to renovate the circuits of a community. The project is not big, less than one million. If you are interested, you can bid for it then."
Gu Jia thought about this and said.
"No, we need to improve the company's structure after the Shenhua project is completed."
If there are no projects on hand, we will also do smaller projects. Bowei Network Technology Co., Ltd. is currently working on large projects, so we will not focus on small projects.
Gu Jia nodded. There were many government projects in the fields of electricity and computer information. When the boy's company needed projects, they would be available at any time. His father didn't even need to say anything. He just needed to provide the bidding information to the boy. Although government projects were open to bidding, the information channels were very closed. As long as the boy got the information, with the advantage of Bowei Network Technology Co., Ltd. as a key city support for college students' entrepreneurial projects, every department in the city would have to give some face.
When they got to the elevator, Gu Jia looked at the boy with a smile and asked, "Are you still nervous about meeting my dad now?"
"Not as nervous as before. Will you be nervous next time you meet my parents?"
It would be a lie for Zhou Jing to say he wasn't nervous; it was mainly because he felt guilty.
"do not know."
Gu Jia was not nervous, but embarrassed as the boy's high school teacher.
"It's enough for Xiao Zhou to come. He brought so many things."
As soon as they met, Mother Gu said happily.
Seeing that Zhou Jing brought about six or seven kilograms of mutton, Gu's mother smiled even more brightly. Although Zhou Jing and her daughter had not yet obtained their marriage certificate, Gu's mother felt that Zhou Jing was as kind as her son-in-law. She had heard others say that their sons and sons-in-law bought them this and that, and that they didn't need to buy meat during the holidays. Although Gu's mother said that you have a good son-in-law and a good son, she was envious in her heart.
Seeing Zhou Jing was so honest, Gu's mother thought that she should buy less food during the holidays in the future, otherwise she would not be able to finish the food.
"My classmate from Hengshan raised sheep. He slaughtered sheep and sold the meat these days."
Zhou Jing bought half a sheep with his classmates yesterday. He gave half to Yang Wenwen and took the other half to Gu Jia's home. It was inconvenient to take it home due to the hot weather, otherwise Zhou Jing would have bought a whole sheep.
“The mutton in Hengshan is good.”
Father Gu also had a gentle smile on his face. He could see that the red wine Zhou Jing brought was good.
"High school classmate?"
Gu Jia asked curiously.
"Well, Bai Zhiwei, remember?"
Zhou Jing smiled.
"I have some impression." Gu Jia nodded and pinched the boy gently, "How dare you contact your high school classmate?"
"Silly girl, what is there to be afraid of? Xiao Zhou doesn't care what you care about."
Mother Gu slapped her daughter in annoyance.
After a few pleasantries, Gu Jia went to help her mother cook, and Zhou Jing played chess and chatted with her father as usual.
On the Mid-Autumn Festival, Gu Jia and her mother prepared a sumptuous dinner, including fish, braised spare ribs, and stewed lamb. Gu Jia opened the red wine that Zhou Jing brought and poured half a glass for everyone.
Several people drank some wine, and after dinner Zhou Jing couldn't leave for the time being, so he went for a walk in the community square with Gu Jia.
Gu Jia brought a badminton racket, and the two played badminton at the badminton court. After playing badminton for a while, they walked to Wuliang store. Zhou Jing held Gu Jia's hand all the way.
Zhou Jing was planning to buy a ring for Gu Jia, but he was so busy these days that he forgot about it. He would find time to buy it in a couple of days. He had already bought rings for Yang Wenwen and Chen Jiaqian, so it would be unfair not to buy one for Gu Jia.
"There are mooncakes in the car. Bring a box for your cousin. Do you dare to take me to meet your cousin?"
Gu Jia opened his car and took out a box of mooncakes. Wuliang Store was not far from the Tenth Middle School. The boy was supposed to treat his cousin to a meal today, but he was too busy here. "Let me thank you, sister-in-law, on behalf of my cousin."
Of course there was no problem for Zhou Jing. How could he be afraid of his cousin if he wasn't afraid of meeting his parents?
Knowing that he was not available to treat his cousin to a meal today, Zhou Jing treated his cousin to a meal yesterday during the weekend.
"How does it feel to hold your teacher's hand in broad daylight in public?"
Gu Jia smiled as she shook the boy's hand.
"It feels sweet and exciting. Where's Master?"
Zhou Jing stopped, gently pulled Gu Jia into his arms, put his arms around her neck and pushed her forward.
Gu Jia quickened her pace and escaped from the boy's arms, saying, "I am a serious teacher, not like you who has a dirty mind."
"is it?"
Zhou Jing couldn't help but recall the scene of Gu Jia being emotional, and just thinking about it made him intoxicated.
Gu Jia did not answer. She left Zhou Jing three or four meters behind and strolled in front. She was wearing a long-sleeved T-shirt and black slim jeans. She walked with a pair of long legs, and her perky buttocks twisted rhythmically with her slender waist.
Zhou Jing did not chase after her. He kept a distance and admired Teacher Gu's back, just like when he saw Gu Jia in the corridor outside the classroom in high school. Every time he stared at Gu Jia until Gu Jia disappeared from his sight.
"Back then, my teacher was also a popular figure, with so many love letters that I couldn't even read them all."
After walking for a while, Gu Jia turned around and walked backwards, looking back from time to time.
When she was in junior high and high school, she received love letters almost every day. At first, she would read them out of curiosity. Some were literary, some were cheesy. Later, she was too lazy to read them and would just throw them into the trash can when she received them. She didn't dare to bring them home anyway.
"Master is also a popular figure now. Have you noticed how many people turn their heads to look at you?"
Zhou Jing walked up to Gu Jia and reached out to hold her hand.
Gu Jia turned around and saw two girls looking at Zhou Jing. She turned around, held the boy's arm tightly and whispered, "They are looking at you!"
"Did not notice."
In fact, Zhou Jing noticed it and didn’t want Gu Jia to think that he was looking around at girls.
"The one on the left is pretty, I really didn't notice it?"
Gu Jia said with a smile.
"I'm sure she's not as pretty as Master."
Zhou Jing looked directly into Gu Jia's clear and charming eyes.
"One of my high school classmates is getting married on October 3rd. I thought I was the only one among my high school classmates who was not married. After chatting with them, I found that there are quite a lot of them who are not married. Are you free on October 3rd?"
Before, because she was single, she had always avoided the topic of marriage among her classmates. Now that she is taken, Gu Jia is no longer afraid to discuss this topic.
After learning that many of her high school classmates were still unmarried, Gu Jia was no longer so anxious.
"It's no problem to arrange it in advance."
Zhou Jing maintained his consistent principles and agreed to Gu Jia first.
"It doesn't matter if you don't have time. I used to have a good relationship with this classmate, but we haven't been in touch for the past two years. If she hadn't sent me a wedding invitation, I wouldn't have known she was getting married. If you don't have time, I can just send the gift money over."
Gu Jia said indifferently.
"I love banquets the most. It would be a shame if I didn't eat one of the banquets after paying my share."
"We'll see then."
Compared to the boy's frankness, Gu Jia felt a little embarrassed. She thought the boy would also be embarrassed about meeting her classmates. Since the boy didn't mind at all, Gu Jia had no reason not to take the boy with her.
When he arrived at Wuliangdian, Gu Jia didn't want to go around anymore and wanted to go to the No. 10 Middle School. The No. 10 Middle School was originally the site of Yushi Middle School. After Yushi Middle School moved to the development zone, the old site became the No. 10 Middle School. This was also Gu Jia's high school alma mater. He hadn't been here for many years and missed it very much.
"Hello, sister-in-law."
Wu Yuan greeted her at the school gate and called Zhou Jing "sister-in-law" before she could introduce her to her. It was their first meeting.
