Chapter 427 A Passerby in a Time-Travel Novel (7)
Jiang Yue ended her live stream a little earlier today when her younger sister came home. After the stream ended, she slept with her sister, and the two sisters chatted until midnight before going to sleep.
They didn't wake up until after 10 a.m. the next day. After getting up, they started washing up. Seeing that the two sisters brushed their teeth in the same way, Jiang's mother couldn't help but take a picture and post it in the group chat.
After breakfast, my sister and I strolled around the village, but we went home after a short while. To be honest, there aren't many young people in the village nowadays, except for holidays. Most of the young people have gone out to work or moved to the city. They don't have many people to hang out with.
Besides, this is where the two of them grew up. They're so familiar with it that there's not much to see. They might as well go home and play on their phones.
In the afternoon, the village loudspeaker announced that it was time to eat. Jiang Yue and her family tidied up and went to the village branch office, which was a large place where the banquet was held.
Jiang Yue initially did a live stream for everyone, but so many people wanted to chat with her and thank her that the live stream was handed over to Xin Xin, who introduced the dishes on the table. She didn't need to show her face; she was perfectly fine with that.
After exchanging pleasantries, Jiang Yue excused herself, and her parents took her place. Everyone praised them, saying they would be able to enjoy a comfortable life from now on, having raised such wonderful daughters.
Mr. and Mrs. Jiang were not arrogant or complacent. They humbly said that they were lucky to have encountered such an opportunity, and it was not due to their own ability. They were mainly worried that the apples would not sell in the future, which would cause trouble.
It's fortunate that Jiang Yue is a girl and didn't come over to offer a toast. If she were a young man, she probably would have had to be carried home today. Just look at Jiang's father; after the banquet, everyone who could drink was too drunk and could only go home tomorrow.
Jiang's father didn't wake up until noon the next day. He had really drunk too much the day before. This year, Jiang's father can forget about drinking. It's partly because others were toasting him, but he hadn't drunk for a long time and unconsciously drank quite a lot. When Jiang's father was young, he ran a supermarket and drank a lot back then. Once, he drank so much that he ended up in the hospital, after which Jiang's mother stopped him from drinking.
Later, due to the impact of e-commerce on supermarkets, and the high housing prices at the time, Jiang's mother decisively closed the supermarket and sold the land. When housing prices were low, she bought houses and shops as investments. Now, the family earns hundreds of thousands of yuan a year from rent, so Jiang's parents don't need to go out to work. They just fish and play mahjong every day. No wonder the original owner wanted to lie down and relax, because she had the means.
When Jiang's father woke up, he had a headache, so it was unlikely that he could drive. However, all three of them, including the mother and daughters, had driver's licenses, so Jiang's mother was driven home by Jiang Yue. The maternal and paternal grandparents wanted them to stay a few more days, but they had been there for more than ten days and it was time to go home.
Once she decided to go home, Jiang Yue started packing. She packed up her live-streaming equipment because she still needed to do live streams after getting home. Before leaving, she also brought a bunch of apples, which she would eat herself since they were all leftovers.
Besides apples, there were also gifts from the villagers: a bucket of free-range eggs and several slaughtered chickens. The village chief sighed as he watched the car's taillights. He was getting old and had originally wanted Jiang Yue to become the village chief, but after a brief hint, Jiang Yue refused. It was a pity to waste such a capable young woman.
Jiang Yue arrived home soon after arriving home. Her father still had a headache. On the way, Jiang Yue stopped at a pharmacy and bought some medicine to make a hangover soup. After cleaning the house, her mother went to brew the medicine for him.
Jiang Yue and Jiang Xin were tidying up the house. Jiang Yue had dismantled her father's study, which he rarely used except for drinking tea and fishing. Now that Jiang Yue's live-streaming career was on track, they decided to make room for her to use as a live-streaming studio.
The house came with a basement, so the mother and her two daughters put all the useless things in the basement. Then they moved Jiang Yue's devices to the study, tested them, logged into the alternate account, and found that there were no problems, so they went to help their younger sister tidy up her room.
After tidying up, Father Jiang sobered up, and the four of them were a little hungry. Mother Jiang made noodles, and Jiang Yue and Jiang Xin helped out. Father Jiang went out to buy some drinks, and the noodles were ready in no time.
After checking that the pickled vegetables they had made earlier were ready to eat, each person had a bowl of mushroom noodles with Jiang's mother's special pickled vegetables. After finishing the meal, Jiang Yue patted her stomach. It seemed she would have to start running tomorrow, otherwise, with so little exercise and so much food, she would easily gain weight.
Jiang's father did the dishes, but the two sisters also helped tidy up. In the afternoon, Jiang Yue and Jiang Xin went shopping. Now that Jiang Yue can earn money, she no longer needs to ask her parents to help her earn coins; instead, she has become the one helping Jiang Xin earn coins.
Since she's the only student in the family now, while the other three are all earning money, the two sisters didn't forget their parents when buying clothes. They bought a gold bracelet for Jiang's mother, as she doesn't like anything flashy and that gold is the best gift. Jiang Yue brought out some good tea for Jiang's father, as fishing is his only hobby.
The next day, Jiang Yue dragged Jiang Xin to pick up the car. Half a month ago, when Jiang Yue was buying a car, she was thinking about what kind of car to buy, but when she searched, Xiaomi Car was already available. So Jiang Yue simply didn't bother to choose and just bought Xiaomi Car.
When Jiang Xin picked up the car, she learned that Jiang Yue had bought one for her as well. She excitedly hugged Jiang Yue and kissed her. The color and everything else were exactly what she liked. She couldn't be happier.
After completing the formalities, the two sisters each took a car and went for a drive. Jiang Yue was experienced and drove without any worries, while her younger sister, although she also had a driver's license and had driven the family car before, had less experience and hadn't driven for a while, so it took her some time to get used to it.
They went home in the afternoon. Since they had already rented a parking space, they weren't worried about finding a place to park. After arriving home, Jiang's father took it for a test drive and thought it was quite easy to drive. When Jiang Yue asked if she wanted to buy him a car, he directly refused.
“I don’t need it. I only use it for fishing and when I take you three back to the village. If I buy it, it will just sit there. This car doesn’t hold its value. Why waste the money?”
"Why don't you buy me some tea? Yue'er, where did you buy your tea? Are you still able to find any?"
"Dad, you finished half a pound of tea in just a few days?"
"Heh, who told him to show off like that, adding a little bit of this and a little bit of that? How much of half a pound of tea leaves can you possibly have left?"
"Okay, I'll buy you some more tonight, but I probably won't be able to buy much. You should drink it sparingly this time, because once it's finished, you'll have to wait for next year's new tea."
"Sister, buy as much as you can. I've had some great tea. My advisor also loves tea. I was just wondering what gift to get him. I was thinking of getting him some apples, but if that doesn't work, I'll give him some tea instead."
"I understand. You and Dad can discuss how to divide it after you buy it."
In the following days, Jiang Yue went out to play with her younger sister during the day and started live streaming to earn money at night. In the middle of the day, Jiang Yue took out two more kilograms of tea leaves. Her younger sister, Jiang Xin, also packed her things. She planned to drive to school and leave two days early. Actually, one day would have been enough, but she wanted to be more relaxed and leave two days early. Since she had just bought a car, she could drive slowly on the road.
