Rebirth to a Military Marriage: Good Morning Chief Novel - Chapter 2447

Chapter 2447: Worth It (3)

At this time, the benefit of having Zhai Hua as a sister-in-law was apparent.

Zhai Hua was doing business. She knew more about business matters than Qiao Nan. Most importantly, she knew a lot of people.

She knew that Qiao Nan was going to buy a large number of supplies, including those used in the winter, medicine, a bunch of children’s school supplies, and textbooks. There were really quite a lot of things to be bought. It wasn’t easy for them to engage in discussions.

However, with the help of Zhai Hua, Qiao Nan didn’t have to worry about who she should approach to buy things. Zhai Hua would help Qiao Nan make the necessary arrangements in advance.

Sometimes, if Zhai Hua knew about the variety and quantity, she could even help Qiao Nan negotiate a very favorable price so that Qiao Nan could buy all the things she required at the lowest cost.

Thankfully, these people were familiar with Zhai Hua and they knew Zhai Sheng as well.

It wasn’t as if they didn’t earn money. It was just that they earned less. Coupled with the fact that Qiao Nan bought these things to do good deeds and help those poor students in the mountains, Zhai Hua’s friends were more willing to get involved.

Aside from selling Qiao Nan things at cost price, they also donated some items so that Qiao Nan could get more supplies.

The temperature dropped very quickly after a few autumn rains.

Qiao Nan was worried that those children in the mountains didn’t have thermal underwear and would suffer from the cold. As such, after gathering the supplies, she didn’t delay and used the fastest speed to get to the mountains.

Undoubtedly, as it was a difficult road to walk and there were quite a bit of supplies, there was a commotion when trying to transport them into the mountain.

When Teacher Zhou saw that Qiao Nan really brought back a lot of things that the children required, he, a man in his thirties, couldn’t control himself and cried like a three-year-old.

Teacher Zhou came to this place after participating in teaching support. It was only then did he realize there were still poor and backward places in developed China. It was very difficult for students to go to school.

In fact, a few years ago, Teacher Zhou completed his time here for teaching support. He could go out and teach at a few better schools.

However, once Teacher Zhou left, this meant that these children would lose their teacher and could no longer study.

This place was too difficult. Even a support teacher might not be willing to come here.

Looking at the students who had been with him for several years, Teacher Zhou couldn’t remember how much determination he had used back then before deciding not to go back and stayed there until today.

He often saw the difficulties of these children but couldn’t do anything about it. Many a time, Teacher Zhou felt that he couldn’t persevere anymore.

As a teacher, he was blessed. However, when he saw that the children were in difficulties but he couldn’t help at all, he hated himself for his incompetence.

Under the torment of his conflicting emotions, it was extremely difficult for Teacher Zhou to persevere every day.

However, Teacher Zhou had finally waited for this day.

He was no longer the only one who knew about the situation of this school and its students. He was no longer the only one who persevered and cared.

He believed that as long as more people in the community cared, his thirty-odd students would definitely have the opportunity to go to junior high school, senior high school, and then university.

“Thank you. Thank you so much.”

Upon seeing how happy the children were when circling the textbooks, Teacher Zhou choked and became speechless.

“Teacher Zhou, thank you for your perseverance all along. Thank you for never giving up on these children. It shouldn’t be you thanking me. I should thank you. Thank you for persevering until my appearance.”

Qiao Nan was very touched that Teacher Zhou chose to sacrifice his personal career for these children.

If Qiao Nan was an old and single woman, Teacher Zhou should be an older and single man.

Forget it that a man in his thirties didn’t have a wife and children. He didn’t even have a girlfriend he was dating.

Qiao Nan could guess why Teacher Zhou became like this today.

Teacher Zhou interacted with these children a lot and developed feelings for them. As such, he’d rather sacrifice his personal future and stay there to continue teaching these children.

If this were to happen to someone else, no one could be kidnapped by their morals and demand others to be as great as Teacher Zhou.

Actually, before Teacher Zhou came here for teaching support, he had a girlfriend.

Being a support teacher wasn’t indefinite. Teacher Zhou’s initial plan was to be a support teacher first before returning a few years later and entering a good school.

A good school with good students and a good salary. With a few months of salary, he could fork out the down payment of a house with his girlfriend.

Teacher Zhou had planned for the future. His girlfriend felt that what Teacher Zhou did was good.

Generally, if a couple stayed in different places and were in a long-distance relationship, it was easy for issues to happen in their relationship.

However, Teacher Zhou’s girlfriend wasn’t worried at all because she knew what kind of environment Teacher Zhou was teaching in. She didn’t have to worry that Teacher Zhou would have a change of heart. She wouldn’t either.

She would use the time her boyfriend did support teaching to work and earn more money so that they could fork out the down payment earlier. Then, they would be able to start a family together.

It was a pity that they broke up following Teacher Zhou’s refusal to go back.

Teacher Zhou had such a spirit of dedication and sacrifice. Qiao Nan couldn’t expect his ex-girlfriend to have the same spirit as well. Everyone had their own thoughts and choices.

As long as Teacher Zhou’s ex-girlfriend’s choice wouldn’t harm others, her decision to break up with Teacher Zhou wasn’t her fault. At most, it was just that they had different mindsets.

Teacher Zhou had persevered for close to ten years.

After the breakup, Teacher Zhou no longer contacted his ex-girlfriend. However, it was obvious that a woman’s youth was limited. She had already waited for three years. For the remaining seven years, how would she still be so obedient and wait for the day that Teacher Zhou returned?

Teacher Zhou knew that not only was his ex-girlfriend married, but she also gave birth to a daughter with her husband.

Teacher Zhou didn’t regret his choice. He also didn’t feel that it was wrong of his ex-girlfriend to want a breakup.

His only thought now was that both of them could get their own happiness and lead a peaceful life.

Teacher Zhou wasn’t sure. Based on his perseverance, would he still be able to find a like-minded marriage partner in this lifetime?

Even if he really couldn’t find one, he was willing to dedicate his whole life to the children in the mountain. He wanted to send these children away from the mountain so that they could experience a more exciting and colorful world outside.

“Teacher Zhou, look. It’s a new pencil. It’s all new. Auntie Qiao said that it’s for us to use. I have a new pencil.”
