This is a quick transmigration story about an ordinary passerby who "eats melons" (observes drama), living as an invisible presence. There are no tasks; she just needs to live each life wel...
After finishing her school business, it was almost noon. Jiang Yue asked the driver to take her to a nearby restaurant. Seeing that it was still crowded, she figured the food must be good. She ordered two dishes for the driver separately. He was initially reluctant, but Jiang Yue said, "We might go shopping this afternoon, so we need to eat to have energy."
Seeing Jiang Yue say this, the driver didn't say anything more and sat down to eat. Jiang Yue also ordered two dishes, and after a while the dishes were served. After the meal, Jiang Yue asked the driver to take her to a more upscale tea house, intending to buy some gifts to visit the Chen family. Buying some gifts would make it seem more formal and thoughtful.
After shopping all afternoon, I bought a box of tea and two bottles of wine. The driver mentioned that many people buy wine as gifts these days. I also bought some nutritional supplements for Mrs. Chen. Finally, I went to a watch shop and bought two watches, one for myself and one as a gift for the lady of the house tomorrow. After returning home and wrapping the gifts, I was just thinking about when to go to the Chen family home when Mrs. Chen called.
"Xiaoyue, your aunt has found you a housekeeper. I'll have the driver deliver her to you this afternoon. My daughter is coming back from school tomorrow. Would you like to come over? I'll introduce you two. You two sisters can go out and play together when you're free."
"I understand, Auntie. I'll go over tomorrow morning."
The two chatted for a while longer before hanging up. Now they didn't need to think about finding a special day to go; they could just go tomorrow.
Not long after Jiang Yue finished drinking her tea, she heard a car horn outside. Jiang Yue went out and a woman in her thirties came in, wearing a blue jacket and carrying a bundle. When she saw Jiang Yue, the woman greeted her, "Hello, Miss."
"No need, no need, just call me Xiaoyue." Jiang Yue waved her hand: "Just call me Xiaoyue when no one's around."
After chatting for a while, Jiang Yue learned that the aunt's name was Zhou Guifang. Her husband had died early, and she had a daughter who was already in school. She lived with her mother-in-law and had not remarried. Because of her family's cooking skills, she now made a living by cooking for wealthy families. This time, it was the aunt from Madam Chen's family who knew that she had no employers recently, so she introduced her to Jiang Yue.
Aunt Fang asked Jiang Yue what kind of dishes she liked to eat. Jiang Yue said that she liked to eat anything as long as it tasted good. Aunt Fang smiled and wanted to cook a few dishes for Jiang Yue to try. However, Jiang Yue said that she had only moved in two days ago and there were no vegetables at home. She then took Aunt Fang to the kitchen to take a look. There was a pile of kitchen utensils that had just been delivered and had not yet been unpacked.
Jiang Yue originally planned to tidy up with Aunt Fang, but Aunt Fang insisted that it was her job. She poured Jiang Yue a cup of tea and told her to sit quietly in the living room. Then she put down her bag and went to the kitchen to tidy up.
