Chapter 472 The Unlucky Guy Who Died Young in a Bizarre World (5)
"I'm fine with either, just ask my dad."
Me too.
“Whenever I ask you, you all say ‘anything is fine’ or ‘whatever,’ and I always have to make the decision.”
“Hehe, Mom, everything you make tastes good, that’s why we say we can eat anything, Dad, right?” Jiang Yue winked at her father after saying that.
"Yue'er is right, wife, I think so too."
"Keep talking nonsense. You two go check the other rooms, make sure to turn off the windows and turn off the water and electricity."
"Yes, ma'am."
While Jiang's mother was cooking, Jiang Yue accompanied Jiang's father on a tour of the villa. Following Jiang's mother's instructions, she turned off everything that needed to be turned off. Because they had to get up early the next day, the family went to bed early after breakfast. At four o'clock the next morning, Jiang's mother woke Jiang Yue up, saying that there weren't many people around at that time, and that the traffic would be congested soon.
In fact, what Jiang Ma could think of, others could also think of. However, arriving early did have its advantages. The traffic jam was shorter, lasting only an hour. At noon, they stopped at a service area to eat something. Because they got up so early, they rested for an hour at noon. Driving while fatigued is not advisable.
During her break, Jiang Yue charged the car. After using the restroom at 1:30 pm, she continued her journey. By the time she reached Yingtan City, it was already 5 pm. Her grandmother and the others had already made several phone calls, as they had never been late when driving back before.
It was already past 7 p.m. when we arrived at my maternal grandparents' house. My grandparents were already waiting at the village entrance. When my parents saw my grandparents, they stopped the car. My mother got out of the car and greeted my grandparents: "Dad, Mom, I'm back."
"Why are you only getting back now? The food's gotten cold, you'll have to heat it up."
"Sigh, there's nothing I can do. There are too many people and the traffic jam lasted for more than an hour. Because I got up so early, I even had to rest at the service area at noon."
At this moment, Jiang Yue and her father parked the car. Jiang Yue's father greeted her grandparents and then offered cigarettes to the old men at the village entrance. He said, "If you don't do anything, people will say that you are arrogant and look down on your fellow villagers after you become successful."
As soon as Jiang Yue got out of the car, her grandmother pulled her over, looked at her complexion, pinched her cheek, then her arm, and made Jiang Yue turn around for a closer look. After looking her over, she hugged Jiang Yue and said, "Your health is finally getting better. You have to take good care of yourself from now on. Your parents have been worried sick about you all these years."
"Grandma, I know, I will."
Not only her parents were worried, but her maternal grandparents, paternal grandparents, and all the relatives were also worried. The whole family was a rare harmonious family. Jiang Yue had been weak since childhood and had seen countless doctors. No matter who it was, the first thing the whole family did when they arrived in a new place was to ask if there were any good doctors there.
They went to big hospitals and prayed to gods and Buddhas, wasting a lot of money. They don't know if it's just bad luck or what, but even though there are many truly virtuous people, they just haven't met any. Maybe they're just ordinary people who weren't lucky enough to have that kind of luck, or maybe it's related to the country's strict control over information in this area.
Jiang Yue had seen ghosts when she was little, but everyone thought it was because the child was weak and had nightmares. Her maternal grandmother and other elderly people believed in ghosts, but the people they consulted were all scammers. Jiang's parents initially did not believe in these supernatural things and preferred to believe in science and go to a large hospital for treatment.
They only started praying to gods and Buddhas when they had no other choice. Before they met Master Mingzhen, they only regarded this as a spiritual sustenance. Materialists are not so easily swayed. There are too many people who care about Jiang Yue's health.
After exchanging pleasantries at the village entrance, the family returned home. When they arrived at the door, Grandpa opened it. The yard was big enough to park two cars. After parking, Jiang's parents started taking things out. A lot of things they had bought for the elderly were still in the car. Grandma told Jiang's mother to finish eating before taking things out, but she wouldn't listen. In the end, she told Jiang's parents to pack up the things while she took Jiang Yue's hand and led her inside to heat up the food.
While the food was being heated up, Jiang Yue chatted with her grandmother, telling her about her university days. The adapted stories made her grandmother laugh. Soon after, her two uncles, who had heard the news, arrived. They ignored Jiang's father and went straight to Jiang Yue. Although they had mentioned in the group chat that Jiang Yue was getting better, seeing it in person was still a different story.
Seeing Jiang Yue healthy and well, both aunts burst into tears. Jiang's mother, who rushed over, also had red eyes. One aunt hugged Jiang Yue and cried, while the other hugged Jiang's mother and cried. Several grown men also had red eyes. It took them a while to calm down. During the meal, they even drank a little.
After Jiang Yue and her mother finished eating, Jiang Yue's father was still drinking with her uncles. Jiang Yue chatted with her mother and two aunts, but not seeing her brothers, she asked, "Are my brothers going home for National Day?"
"I don't know, they didn't tell us. Maybe they went out to play with their classmates. We'll see if they come back for winter break."
Jiang Yue's two uncles each have two sons. The eldest is two years older than Jiang Yue, and the youngest is the same age as her. All four of them were admitted to university. During their first year of university, they went home for National Day. After that, they mostly went out to play and only came home for a few days during winter and summer vacations.
They chatted until very late, but Jiang Yue was made to go to bed early. She went to bed early and got up early, but she still didn't get up as early as the others. After washing up, everyone else had already eaten breakfast. Jiang Yue got up late, so her grandma made her some rice noodles and two dried plum vegetable pancakes. That was how she ate a delicious breakfast.
There were many people at noon, so we cooked several dishes, including minced meat and eggplant, which Jiang Yue especially liked. The other dishes also suited Jiang Yue's taste. She even drank soup after the meal. Everyone was quite surprised that she had gone from having a small appetite to a big eater. They were also worried that Jiang Yue might have eaten too much. Jiang's father said that Master Mingzhen had said it was nothing, and everyone was relieved.
After dinner, the men started researching Jiang Yue's rice car. They were all quite interested in electric cars. Although they had seen them on short video platforms, they had never considered buying one themselves. They still trusted gasoline cars more. When Grandpa saw that it took 30 hours to fully charge the car, he even planned to install a charging station at home.
The main problem is that this portable charger, combined with the fact that it uses household electricity, makes the charging speed a bit slow. However, there are charging stations in the countryside, so charging at the station will be faster. I don't need to drive two cars out when I get home; I can just leave it at home to charge slowly.
After studying the car for a while, Jiang's father went to contact someone to buy supplies. He planned to deliver them to Master Mingzhen when they went to Longhu Mountain the next day. Master Mingzhen wouldn't accept gifts if sent separately, so there was no need to buy anything else. He just bought daily necessities such as rice, flour, cooking oil, and meat, because refining essence into qi consumes a lot of food, and these were just right.
