Chapter 623 A Passerby in the Fusion of the Urban World 12
After dinner, she went to rest. Life was uneventful. However, the three people in the neighboring courtyard were quite lively and noisy, which annoyed Jiang Yue. After scrolling through Douyin for a while, the sky darkened, and it started to rain around three or four o'clock.
The group chat became more active when it rained. People in the group made plans to go mushroom picking on the mountain after the rain stopped. Jiang Yue also planned to go with them, but unexpectedly, the rain lasted for two whole days, and they didn't set off until the third day.
Jiang Yue didn't cheat, so her harvest today was a bit less compared to others. There was nothing she could do; it was just bad luck. She couldn't even get a full plate of any of the dishes. After refusing the pity of the little kid next to her who wanted to share some with her, she decided to go home and have a mushroom hot pot.
The next morning, they went up the mountain again, but the harvest was dismal once more. Jiang Yue had maxed out all her skills, was very familiar with mushrooms, and knew their habits well, but she just couldn't find any. Isn't that infuriating? Jiang Yue was so angry that she almost turned on her cheat code.
Jiang Yue came down the mountain with a dark face, and everyone couldn't help but laugh when they saw her. After coming down the mountain, Jiang Yue also realized that if she couldn't find any, she should just buy them. Many people who found them were reluctant to eat them and planned to sell them for money. Jiang Yue waited at the entrance of the village and bought a bunch of them to take home. That way she could eat to her heart's content. Why make things difficult for herself?
The following days were spent eating mushrooms in all sorts of ways. Some guests who originally planned to stay for a few days didn't want to leave after eating the mushrooms. However, everyone was used to it, and it was basically like this every year. The protagonist of the treasure appraisal article next to us was rich, and he was eating mushrooms every day, just like Jiang Yue.
Of course, besides eating, he's also on a treasure hunt. A few days ago, Jiang Yue discovered him secretly looking at the 'bracelet' and 'hand-held item' on her wrist. Recently, he's been picking fights with Jiang Yue, secretly inquiring about the origin of the two 'items,' which has made the twin sisters a little jealous. Then, the male lead must have told them about it, because the next day, they both started keeping an eye on the two little ones, just like the male lead.
Jiang Yue almost burst out laughing. "Brother, your 'pay-to-win' eyes aren't very effective. Although this is a treasure, it's not the kind of treasure you're thinking of. That's true, these kinds of novel cheats all have an upgrade process. You need to get some parts to level up by fighting monsters. Right now, it's probably still in its initial state."
In fact, Jiang Yue had already figured out his eyes in the past few days. They were the shattered core of a powerful magic weapon. This thing had no attraction for Jiang Yue at all. Just by looking at the shattered core, she could tell that even if it were good, it would be useless to her.
Afterwards, Jiang Yue found it troublesome and had the scorpion gu move a little to release its aura. After that, no one bothered him anymore. If it weren't for the recent 'scandals', Jiang Yue really wouldn't have bothered with them. That driver knew a lot and probably knew what was going on.
After living in the courtyard for three months, the four left on the eve of New Year's Day. However, they did not cancel the lease and their luggage was still there. From what they said, it seemed that they were going to participate in some kind of public auction, which seemed to be related to jade. Jiang Yue had not studied this kind of thing much and did not know much about it.
Jiang Yue wasn't interested in any of this. She had more money in her account than she could ever spend in her lifetime, so she could say she wasn't interested in money at all. She was busy at the tea factory lately. Li Jingcheng had found overseas sales channels, and he was quite busy, so he asked Jiang Yue to keep an eye on production to make sure there weren't any quality issues at the end.
The number of tourists visiting during the New Year's Day holiday has increased significantly. Jiang Yue is stationed at the tea factory to prevent tourists from making any strange requests. For example, a few years ago, some tourists insisted on going into the production workshop and trying it themselves. However, ordinary people are not allowed to enter the production workshop. In the end, they had no choice but to set up a tea-frying area outside so that tourists could fry the tea themselves and take it away.
After New Year's Day, Li Jingcheng finished his work, and Jiang Yue had some free time again. She rested for two days and went to the city to have a meal with the employees. She gave everyone overtime bonuses, and those who performed well received an extra month's salary. She also arranged for them to take turns having holidays, and several leaders also received a raise.
Because Bai Ze didn't find any violations, there were minor issues, but that didn't affect the possibility of raising everyone's wages. Nobody's perfect, and Jiang Yue had never met anyone like that, nor could she herself.
The next day, Jiang Yue went out for a while, but there were too many people, so she wanted to go home after a short time. She found a restaurant that was relatively crowded, and just as she sat down to order some dishes, she suddenly heard someone call her: "Is that Jiang Yue?"
Jiang Yue turned her head and saw a woman from the family of four at the next table waving at her. The person in front of her was a little unfamiliar, but after a while, Jiang Yue found the corresponding person in her mind: "Is it Zhang Qiaoxue?"
"Yes, yes, it's me! You still remember me?"
"I remember." After recognizing each other, she called Jiang Yue to her table.
"It's been so long since we last met, seven or eight years, hasn't it?"
"If you didn't look almost the same as you did in college, I wouldn't have recognized you at first glance. You've aged so well!"
"It's been a long time since I've seen you. It's not that I'm well-maintained, it's just that my face doesn't get puffy and looks younger."
"Tsk tsk, I'm so envious."
"Haha, so you're all on vacation as a family?"
"No, we've moved here."
"I think your family is from Chengdu, right?"
Zhang Qiaoxue was clearly surprised by Jiang Yue's words, because the two of them didn't interact much when they were in college. Jiang Yue was very busy and wasn't close to anyone in the class. She didn't have any good friends because a relative of hers had just passed away. At that time, she was busy working, studying, and reading, mainly to numb herself.
"Yes, I didn't expect you to remember. As expected, top students are unreasonable."
"Oh right, I forgot to introduce you. This is my husband, Yang Cheng, and these are my two children. His family is from the local area, and we just moved back here from Beijing this year."
"I remember you also worked in Kyoto, didn't you? When did you go back to your hometown?"
“I came back much earlier than you; I returned several years ago.”
Afterwards, Jiang Yue briefly talked about her experiences back then. At this time, the food was served, and the atmosphere became more and more harmonious as they ate and chatted. Zhang Qiaoxue talked about the situation of her college classmates and asked Jiang Yue if she wanted to join a group. However, Jiang Yue declined, as she was too lazy to contact people she wasn't familiar with.
Seeing her daughter staring at her, Jiang Yue reached out and picked up the child. The couple were of average appearance, but their two children were quite adorable. The little girl was very quiet and didn't move in Jiang Yue's arms. Zhang Qiaoxue smiled at this scene, but there was some worry in her smile.
Jiang Yue noticed this, but instead of asking directly, she quietly gave the child a physical examination. Soon after, Jiang Yue received the results, which explained her worry.
