Chapter 523 Natural Disaster Game World Passerby A 17
After a big meal, we brought some more food with us when we left. There wasn't much left, and according to Jiang's mother, we were saving it for Jiang Yue's aunts to eat when they came back for the New Year.
Jiang Yue's two uncles are both working in other places. I called them a few days ago, and it's not certain whether they will come back this year. There's no need to leave them any money.
Jiang's father is the youngest of the three children of his grandparents, with two older sisters. Jiang's maternal grandparents are different; although Jiang's mother is the youngest, she has two older brothers. Jiang's father said that when he married Jiang's mother, he was often harassed by Jiang Yue's two uncles.
This year, we originally planned to have my maternal grandparents come to our house for the Chinese New Year, but they didn't want to come. The old couple planned to stay at home, but given Jiang's mother's personality, she'll probably come to Jiang Yue's house. Parents can't persuade their children otherwise, unless my two uncles can come back in the next few days.
The tofu deliveryman came in the afternoon, but sold out shortly after arriving. Luckily, Jiang's mother had set aside a tray beforehand, and Jiang Yue went to the supermarket to bring the tofu back. Then she started preparing to make frozen tofu; otherwise, she wouldn't have set aside so much. One or two pieces would have been enough.
Jiang Yue called Jiang Zhi over to help carry the tofu home. They cut a whole block of tofu into mahjong tile-sized pieces, placed them on a rack, and then put them directly outside. The weather was a natural refrigerator, and they were frozen in about two or three hours.
When it was almost time, she went out to check and found that the food had frozen into frozen tofu. Jiang Yue took a plastic bag, put the food in the bag, and then put it into a large vat. The two vats were full of food. After glancing at it, Jiang Yue ran back into the house because it was too cold.
Jiang Yue ate a simple bowl of noodles for dinner, as she had eaten too much oily food in the morning. After dinner, it was already late, so she went back to bed early. She didn't want to go out for a walk today because it was too cold.
After scrolling through Douyin for a while, I checked out the game forum. This forum was set up by the official team, and it has all sorts of guides, all shared for free by official staff. It's worth mentioning that most players have joined the official team, although there are also those who don't want to join and are thinking of secretly causing trouble.
Of course, there are also people like Jiang Yue who are too lazy to join because they are afraid of the trouble. However, as long as it doesn't break the law, the official team won't bother with it. The official team suggests that it's best to register because you can receive a big gift pack, including guns and ammunition. Don't be fooled by the fact that you can buy them in the game store, isn't it better to get them for free?
After closing the forum, Jiang Yue went to sleep. When she woke up, it was already the 29th day of the Lunar New Year.
With the 30th approaching, Mr. and Mrs. Jiang have started making preparations. Today, both aunts went home, and Grandpa and Grandma told them early in the morning to come over for lunch. They are planning to make stewed chicken today.
Around 10 a.m., the two aunts arrived in their cars one after the other. Jiang Yue found out that the four children had run to her house. None of the four children were older than Jiang Yue; they were about the same age as Jiang Zhi. Although Jiang Yue was older than them, they still had a very good relationship.
"Sister! Sister! Sister! Sister! Sister!"
"Okay, okay, stop hugging me, or I'll lose my New Year's money!"
Jiang Yue was only released after her New Year's money was deducted. Once home, it was just like her own home, and Jiang Yue didn't need to greet her. She immediately ran to the kang (a heated brick bed), took out her phone, and started playing games. Why didn't she play at her grandparents' house? Because her grandparents were reluctant to spend money, and the WiFi they connected to was Jiang Yue's. It was enough for watching videos, but the latency was too high for playing games.
Seeing the five of them playing games together, Jiang Yue brought them some fruit and snacks and went to her grandmother's house. After entering the house, she greeted her two aunts and uncles one by one, and then was pulled between her two aunts to start chatting.
After chatting with them for a while, Aunt Jiang came over. When it was time for dinner, the family started cooking. With many people working together, the meal was quickly prepared. Although today's meal was not as lavish as the one on New Year's Eve, it had everything we needed and was pretty much the same. Anyway, the Spring Festival is all about family reunion, and it doesn't have to be on New Year's Eve, so it doesn't matter much.
After dinner, we started talking about Jiang Yue's work. Unfortunately, Jiang Yue had experienced the most significant changes this year. Her aunt and uncle both offered to introduce her to some clients, but Jiang Yue smiled and said they didn't need to worry. She showed them her income for the past month—over 20,000 yuan. While not a huge amount, it was still more than she earned at her previous job. (I don't know much about the accounting profession; those in the know can skip this.)
"Oh dear, why didn't you say so sooner? I was so worried about you."
"The documents were just issued not long ago, and the money was just received, so I haven't had a chance to say anything yet."
“I told you Yue’er is amazing and we don’t need to worry about her. She’s never done anything without a plan since she was little. She must have a plan for opening a studio, but you didn’t believe me. See, am I right?”
The grandmother next to her slapped her: "Alright, you're the only one who's showing off and believing it, as if no one else believes it."
"Mom, what are you worried about? I can find a job even if I don't open a studio. What's there to worry about?"
"Mom keeps saying on Douyin that the situation has been bad these past few years, how can she not have some doubts?"
However, the worries still remain. Grandpa said that Jiang Yue's studio can only operate when it has a stable income. He suggested that her aunt and uncle should make use of their connections. Her aunt and uncle agreed, saying that they would definitely do so since they are family. Now that they see that Jiang Yue is capable of earning money on her own, they are more confident when introducing people to her.
After a while, the children ran to Jiang Yue's house. Before leaving, they borrowed Jiang Yue's phone because her uncle was on the phone and couldn't use it. Unlike Jiang Zhi, who had a phone that the original owner had bought for him and didn't need to borrow Jiang's parents' phones, this was one of the reasons why his grades were not good.
My aunt's two children are both strictly managed, and their grades are still above average. They used to only play games after finishing their homework, and they could only play freely during holidays. These days, they can play as much as they want. Unlike Jiang Zhi, whose parents are busy and no one is supervising him when the original owner is not at home, his poor self-control has naturally led to his grades dropping.
Fortunately, Jiang's parents were understanding. They said that if he didn't do well in his studies and graduated, he could stay home and run the supermarket. After all, the original owner had already gone abroad to study. By the time he grew up, the two of them would be getting old, so they would give the money they had saved to Jiang Yue and the supermarket to Jiang Zhi. They had already told the two siblings about this idea.
I wanted to sleep here again at night because I wanted to continue playing games, but my aunts grabbed my ears and dragged me back, afraid that their games would disturb other people's rest.
When Jiang Yue woke up the next day, she reached for her phone next to her pillow as usual, but to her surprise, it was gone. She opened her eyes and saw that her phone was nowhere to be found. It must have been taken out by Jiang Zhi to play with, because she had told Jiang Zhi the day before that she could borrow a phone if she needed one, and Jiang Yue had agreed.
After getting dressed and folding the blankets, Jiang Yue yawned several times while going to the bathroom. She had stayed up too late playing games with Li Juan yesterday. Jiang Yue originally wanted to go to bed early, but Li Juan kept losing in her live stream and asked Jiang Yue to come and save the day. So Jiang Yue played a few games with her.
