Chapter 295: Mother Gu is quite romantic
"Aren't you afraid to admit your mistakes?"

The first time they met, my cousin called Gu Jia "sister-in-law", Zhou Jing said with a smile.

"I've seen the photos. Sister-in-law is prettier in person than in the photos."

Wu Yuan didn’t know that Gu Jia was Zhou Jing’s high school English teacher. She just thought of them as colleagues, so it was very natural.

Zhou Jing handed the mooncake to his cousin and said, "Your sister-in-law gave it to you."

"Thank you, sister-in-law."

Wu Yuan was all smiles, holding Gu Jia's arm and speaking sweetly.

"You're welcome. What did you have for dinner?"

Gu Jia looked at the lively and lovely girl and said.

"Jiaozi, where are you?"

"We eat at my house. Is the second year of high school as tiring as the first year?"

Gu Jia walked and looked around. Everything here was the same as she remembered. Looking at the young boys and girls on campus, Gu Jia seemed to see what she used to be like.

"I feel that the second year of high school is easier than the first year. The first year is so busy that I don't even have enough time to do homework during self-study classes every day."

Wu Yuan felt that she had an easier time entering her second year of high school. The most important thing was that she no longer had to study physics and chemistry.

"Your sister-in-law also went to high school here. It was still Yushi Middle School at that time. Do you remember where your class was?"

Zhou Jing looked at Gu Jia and said.

Standing on the slope leading to the entrance of the No. 10 Middle School, which was the former site of Yushi Middle School, Gu Jia pointed and said, "I am in Class 2 of Grade 11, in the second room on the first floor of the teaching building. Grade 12 is in Class 1, on the first floor of the teaching building next to it. Grade 13 is also in Class 1, in the first bungalow in the small courtyard above."

"My sister-in-law is amazing. She was able to get into Yushi Middle School at that time. This courtyard is now exclusively for senior high school students."

"Your sister-in-law is extremely talented. In her era, she was able to get into Sichuan International Studies University."

"My sister-in-law is really a combination of beauty and talent."

Wu Yuan admired her sister-in-law even more. She was not only beautiful, but also so outstanding. No wonder she could capture the heart of such an outstanding cousin even though she was six years older than her.

"You have no talent. Your cousin is the talented one."

Gu Jia is not proud of her talent. Compared with the great writer Zhou Jing, she is far behind.

Wu Yuan went back to the dormitory to deliver something, while Zhou Jing and Gu Jia walked around the campus.

Arriving at the senior high school courtyard, Gu Jia looked outside the row of bungalows. Senior high school students did not have a holiday for the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the classroom was almost full of people before the evening self-study session. The senior high school students were very self-conscious and had a sense of urgency.

"I was probably in 1, 2, 3, 4, and I had a middle aisle seat in the fourth row."

Gu Jia pointed at the seats inside from outside the window.

"Do you miss it?"

Zhou Jing said with a smile.

"That's it. There doesn't seem to be anything worth remembering. Life and entertainment were very monotonous back then. Do you miss your junior high school days?"

Gu Jia shook her head and turned to leave the senior high school courtyard.

"There's really nothing to miss about that time. I miss high school a lot."

Zhou Jing attended junior high school from 03 to , and went to school in the county. At that time, it was difficult to even find a game hall in the small county, let alone an Internet cafe. Mobile phones were not available, and there were not many entertainment options. Thinking about it now, it was very boring. The first and only game console I bought was a Tetris game console. I thought it was really fun at the time. With that game console, Zhou Jing was the dad among his friends. Classmates competed to play with it, and each took turns playing a round.

"What do you miss about high school?"

Gu Jia said with a smile.

"Eighteen years old is the best age in life."

Zhou Jing certainly couldn't say that he missed Yang Wenwen and her.

"It's really hard to look forward to turning 18." Walking outside the administrative building, Gu Jia looked at the big willow tree beside the playground and said, "The willow trees are so tall now. When I was in high school, those willow trees were still very small."

"The pine tree in front of the teaching building is so tall now. It must have been planted when we were in the first year of high school."

Looking at the almost three-story-high Evergreen outside the Grade 1 teaching building, Gu Jia was filled with emotion. She had never expected that she would still be able to see the tree she had planted twelve or thirteen years later. The seedlings of that year had grown into "towering trees".

"Which one did you plant? I'll take a picture for you."

Zhou Jing turned on his cell phone.

“This one is from our class.”

Gu Jia stood in front of the tree outside Class 1 and 2, with her shoulders slightly tilted and her right hand under her chin in a scissors gesture. Zhou Jing took three consecutive photos of Gu Jia. When a beautiful person looks good in photos, he or she will look good in any photo.

After waiting for the cousin to come out, Zhou Jing and Gu Jia went to her classroom. It was the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday for the first and second year students in high school, so there were few people in the classroom. At seven or eight in the evening, there were more than a dozen people studying in the classroom.

Wu Yuan’s best friend was studying at her seat. Wu Yuan introduced Zhou Jing and Gu Jia as brother and sister-in-law.

The students nearby who didn't know the answer thought Wu Yuan was talking about her biological brother. One wicked teenager whispered to Wu Yuan, "You two don't look like siblings. Your brother is so handsome, why is there such a big gap in your looks?" Wu Yuan was so angry that she wanted to hit someone.

Zhou Jing and Gu Jia casually flipped through their cousin's book.

Zhou Jing acted as a math teacher, looking through his cousin's math homework, while Gu Jia looked through English books and monthly exam papers.

"Sister-in-law, what advice do you have for learning English?"

Wu Yuan took the stool from the seat next to her and asked her cousin and sister-in-law to sit on it.

"Your vocabulary and grammar are both good. You should practice your sense of language and memorize more English reading and writing examples."

Gu Jia said as he browsed the girl's English test paper.

"."

"Don't read books like Reader and Yilin. They are useless. Don't waste your time on them."

After leaving the classroom, Zhou Jing said to his cousin that he had just found something about Reader Yi Lin from her desk.

"Your cousin is right."

Gu Jia said with a smile.

“Oh, I won’t watch it anymore.”

"."

After walking around the campus for a while, Zhou Jing and Gu Jia went out of the main gate, crossed the alley, turned left and right and arrived at the pedestrian street. The two walked back along the pedestrian street. After Gu Jia was tired, she went to Second Street and took the bus home. The bus was very crowded and there were no seats. Zhou Jing followed closely behind Gu Jia. When the bus started, he held the handrail with one hand and supported Gu Jia with the other hand.

After walking around for a long time, the wine was almost gone. The two went to Gu Jia's house to sit for a while and then got up and went to the rented house.

Gu's mother asked Gu Jia to take the fruits that Zhou Jing bought in the afternoon. They couldn't finish them if they kept them at home. Gu Jia didn't want to be polite with her mother and just took the fruits without saying a word.

"It's getting cold tonight, Jiajia, go and change the thick quilt, Xiao Zhou, come over for dinner when you're free." Gu's mother suddenly remembered something, filled up the half bottle of red wine left over from dinner and gave it to Zhou Jing, saying, "During the Mid-Autumn Festival, come over and have some if you want."

Worried that there was no wine opener, Gu's mother packed the wine opener as well.

"The old comrade is being dishonest again."

Gu Jia really admires her mother. She has no idea what she is thinking every day.

"What's the point of being serious? Xiao Zhou is busy with work, so drinking some red wine can help him relax."

Mother Gu said to her daughter seriously.

"Thank you, Auntie."

Zhou Jing thought that Mother Gu was quite knowledgeable about romance.

Mother Gu continued, "You must be careful when you drink. If you drink at night, don't drive yourself tomorrow morning. Take the company car."

"Yes, I know, don't worry, Auntie."

Zhou Jing nodded, said goodbye to Gu's father and went out.

Gu Jia did not drive, but took Zhou Jing's car. When they arrived at the rented house before nine o'clock, Gu Jia took the thin quilt on the bed in the bedroom to the balcony to dry, and took out the thick quilt from the cupboard and put it on the bed.

There was only one thick quilt, so the two of them could only huddle together at night to keep warm.

"Let's enjoy the Mid-Autumn Moon together. Do you still want to drink?"

Gu Jia took out the red wine and said with a smile.

"He also said that the old comrade was not serious, and the master was not serious either."

Of course Zhou Jing wanted to drink with the beautiful woman by his side.

"I am just drinking with you. I think I am not a good drinker. Please be prepared."

Gu Jia washed two glasses.

Zhou Jing wanted to see Gu Jia act crazy when she was drunk. Teacher Gu was a cute and arrogant girl when she was young, but now she has become much calmer. Zhou Jing hoped to see the same cute and arrogant side of Teacher Gu after drinking.
