Chapter 196 Passerby A in a 1990s Housewife Rebirth Novel
After checking in their luggage at the airport, Jiang Yue borrowed a trolley from an airport staff member after getting off the plane back in Beijing. She then pushed the luggage out, found a yellow minivan, put the four large suitcases in, gave the driver the address, and set off to go home. The roads near the airport are not good, and there is a lot of traffic congestion now.
What usually takes a little over an hour took almost three hours. When they stopped at the alley entrance, Jiang Yue jumped out of the car because she was feeling a bit carsick and nauseous. She hadn't felt like this in a long time. She wished she had taken a health-boosting pill earlier. As the driver unloaded Jiang Yue's luggage, he said, "Thank you for your trouble. The road was difficult to travel today. Please bear with us."
Jiang Yue waved her hand, it wasn't their fault. After a moment, she paid the fare. After the taxi left, Jiang Yue looked at the four large suitcases behind her, wondering if she should take a pill. The old man who usually stayed at the gate of the courtyard saw someone park from afar. He stared for a while before confirming it was Jiang Yue. After the taxi left, the old man came over, looked at Jiang Yue, and asked somewhat uncertainly, "Is that Xiao Yue?"
Jiang Yue turned around and looked at the Third Uncle, then looked at herself and said, "It's me, Third Uncle. Don't you recognize me?"
"You're absolutely right, you look so handsome in this outfit, I almost didn't recognize you."
Jiang Yue then realized that her outfit was still somewhat recognizable. In fact, Jiang Yue's outfit was the kind of suit that real estate agents and insurance agents wore in later generations, only more fitted. She hadn't changed her mindset yet and thought it was very common. After discussing Jiang Yue's clothes, the Third Uncle's gaze shifted to the four suitcases.
"Xiaoyue...did you buy all of this? What did you buy? You got four big boxes."
The third uncle remembered that Jiang Yue only had one suitcase when she left, but when she came back, there were four: "Are any of your colleagues' suitcases in here?"
"No... I bought clothes. The clothes there are much cheaper than here. I couldn't resist and bought so many."
Well, after listening to Jiang Yue's explanation, the Third Uncle moved his lips but didn't say anything. After all, why was it necessary for you to say so much when you had no relatives or friends with her? "I think the things are quite heavy. You, a girl, can't carry them. You stay here and guard them. The Third Uncle will carry them home for you."
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Uncle San."
Jiang Yue didn't stand on ceremony; she hadn't taken any pills. She hadn't experienced this weak and powerless state in a long time. Jiang Yue guarded the things at the alley entrance and chatted with the neighbors who came and went. Many people didn't recognize her. After a while, the Third Uncle returned and carried the last two boxes inside. Jiang Yue followed behind him.
Back in the courtyard, the older women and young wives all gathered around. They were very interested in Jiang Yue's outfit. One of the women who had seen Jiang Yue buy clothes before was amazed: "I thought this outfit was just so-so before she wore it, but I didn't expect it to look so good on her."
"Yes, yes, the shirt last time was white, this one has a bit of gold and beige, it makes people look very fair."
"Yes, it's similar in color to apricot, but prettier. Xiaoyue, what color is it?"
"Champagne color is the color of a type of wine."
After sharing her experiences from the 'business trip' with everyone, Jiang Yue said goodbye and went home. When she opened the door, she found the house covered in dust. She went to the bedroom to change her clothes and then started cleaning. After cleaning, she moved a few suitcases into the house, closed the door, and put a puppet out. She was too tired to clean anymore.
While the puppet was tidying up the house, Jiang Yue had already fallen asleep. She was really tired after sitting in the car for several hours. When she woke up, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening. The first feeling she had when she woke up was hunger. Of course she was hungry. She had only eaten a little bit before boarding the plane all day, and had been eating ever since.
I got out of bed and came to my senses. It wasn't realistic to cook for myself, so I decided to go out and find somewhere to eat. I also wanted to check on how the house was being renovated. As I got dressed and was about to leave, I saw my third uncle at the door. I thought for a moment and took out the bottle of Luzhou Laojiao from my suitcase.
She packed the things in a bag, carried it out, and saw Uncle San sitting there chatting and bragging with his old neighbor. Jiang Yue called out to him, "Uncle San, here are the things you asked me to bring you."
When the third uncle heard Jiang Yue call him, he quickly squeezed out of the crowd, ran up to Jiang Yue, and looked at what she was holding: "Is this a gift for me?"
"Yes, it's Luzhou Laojiao 52 degrees. How about it? It's a nice gift, isn't it?"
"Oh, thank you, but isn't this a bit too expensive?"
"It's alright, keep it."
"Hehe, then I'll keep it."
After Uncle San went home, Jiang Yue also went out. She greeted her neighbor in the courtyard. After leaving, Jiang Yue thought about how she had been greeting her neighbors a lot lately. Usually, she would just walk by without saying hello, and if she met someone, she would just nod. After walking for a while, she found a noodle shop and ordered a bowl of three-in-one oil-splashed noodles. She finished the noodles in a few bites after they arrived.
After dinner, Jiang Yue went to take a look at the new house, which was nearby. She had lived there for over twenty years and had many acquaintances nearby, so she didn't want to go anywhere else. After walking for about ten minutes, she arrived at the house and touched the lock. The door opened. Although it looked like an ordinary lock, it could be unlocked with a fingerprint.
After entering the courtyard, there are four buildings. The main house is the central hall, the east wing is the bedroom, the west wing is the study, the east wing is the dining room, and the west wing is the gym and future e-sports room (tentative). Part of the south-facing building has been converted into a garage, and the rest have been converted into guest rooms.
After entering the house, I saw that it was the same as the design drawings. As for the quality issues, I didn't need to worry about them. It was built by my own puppets. The flowers, plants and trees in the yard were all planted. I went inside to take a look. The air conditioner, refrigerator and TV puppets were all installed. The bedroom was also arranged according to Jiang Yue's habits. After lying on the bed for a while, I decided to go home.
After locking the door, I strolled home, greeting some friends I knew along the way. This place is so small, the young people are acquaintances even if they're not friends. After getting home, I chatted with everyone for a while, as usual. Auntie San and Sister Wei asked about Jiang Yue's job situation. It's been almost two months since graduation, has anything come up yet? If not, we'll ask everyone to help us find a job.
"Auntie, Sister Wei, I'm not in a hurry. I've made some money from stocks and I'm planning to open my own shop instead of working for someone else."
"But we don't know what to do yet; we're still investigating."
"Stock trading?"
"You also trade stocks? How much money have you made?"
Jiang Yue chuckled but didn't say anything, not telling them exactly how much she earned: "Not much, enough to open a shop. It's mainly because my classmate helped me out. I don't know anything about those things."
