Chapter 423 Passerby in a Time-Travel Novel (Part 3)
If Jiang's mother didn't object, then it was settled. As for Jiang's father, he had no reason to object if his mother spoke up. When Jiang Yue came back that night, she told her father about the live stream. Just as Jiang Yue had guessed, her father didn't object. He just asked if her body could handle it, since she could sit there for several hours at a time.
Over the next few days, the things Jiang Yue bought arrived one after another. Jiang Yue originally planned to start broadcasting on September 1st, but a phone call interrupted her plans. The call was from Jiang Yue's maternal grandmother. The old lady hadn't seen Jiang Yue for a long time and missed her. In addition, she had too much food at home and asked Jiang Yue's family to come and get some to eat.
In the afternoon, Jiang Yue and her mother went shopping and bought some clothes for her maternal and paternal grandparents. The next morning, the family drove back to their hometown. Jiang Yue's parents were from the same village, and her maternal and paternal grandparents lived in the same alley. The two families had a good relationship, and the two had known each other since childhood. When they reached marriageable age, it was only natural that they got together.
Both families are only children, making them a perfect family. Jiang's father earned a lot of money in previous years, and Jiang's parents wanted to bring their elderly parents to live in the city. However, the elderly parents had lived in the village all their lives and were reluctant to leave to live in a big city. Therefore, Jiang Yue's family could only go home to visit every now and then, afraid that something might happen to their elderly parents and they wouldn't tell their children for fear of worrying them.
When they arrived, Jiang's parents carried things into the house. Jiang Yue wanted to help, but her mother handed her a package and said, "Go and take these to your grandparents, and then call them over for dinner."
"No problem, leave it to me."
The noise of Jiang's father parking the car had already startled Grandpa in the yard. When he saw that it was Jiang Yue and the others coming, he quickly called for Jiang Yue's grandma to open the door. Jiang Yue saw them and ran over, sweetly calling out, "Grandma, Grandpa!"
"Hey~, why didn't you come to Grandma's house during the holidays? Grandma misses you so much. Oh, and where's Xin Xin? I haven't seen her."
"Grandma, I miss you too. I'm busy with my career right now. Xin Xin is still in school and it's not time for her to have a holiday yet."
"You old woman, didn't Xin Xin get into some prestigious university? She's still in school."
"Grandpa, he's a graduate student."
"Yes, yes, a graduate student. By the way, Yueyue, what kind of career are you talking about?"
"Still doing business? You're really good at bragging. You sleep all day at home. Go over there and deliver some things to your grandparents."
"Can't you speak properly? Who taught you to use such foul language? Now, Yueyue, don't be afraid, Grandma will help you hit her."
"Hehe, Grandma, I'm going to call Grandpa and the others. We'll talk later."
"Hey, hurry up and go."
Jiang Yue was about to go to her grandparents' house when the two of them heard the noise and came over. Jiang Yue ran over, hugged their arms, and said, "Grandpa and Grandma, I've come to see you."
"You look like you've lost a lot of weight. Has your mom stopped cooking for you properly?"
Hearing this, Jiang's mother rolled her eyes. If it were any other family, they would think she had a problem with her daughter-in-law. But Jiang Yue's family wouldn't be like this. In their family, Jiang's mother wasn't a daughter-in-law, but almost like a daughter. When Jiang's parents used to argue when they were young, none of the four elders sided with Jiang's father.
"Haha, Grandma, I haven't lost weight, I've actually gained five or six pounds. I'm trying to lose weight these days."
After everyone was present, Jiang's mother took out the clothes she had bought for the elderly. The four elderly people said that it was a waste of money to have clothes, but they all had smiles on their faces. After putting the clothes away, Jiang's parents took out the vegetables and meat they had bought. When they saw these things, the elderly said, "Hey, we still have more green beans and persimmons at home than we can finish. Why did you buy vegetables for us?"
"You can't eat that stuff every day, you need to change things up. Here's some beef and pork I bought for you, I've put it in the fridge for you to remember to eat. Call me when you're done and I'll buy you more."
"You don't need to buy it, we'll just buy some meat ourselves."
Jiang's mother and maternal grandparents were tidying up the groceries they had bought, while Jiang Yue was chatting with her maternal grandparents. When she saw a message from her younger sister on WeChat, her sister asked what they were doing, why no one was replying to her messages, and whether something had happened. Jiang Yue immediately made a video call, and her sister breathed a sigh of relief when she saw her grandparents.
After chatting for a while, Jiang Yue took her phone to her maternal and paternal grandparents' house. While her younger sister chatted with the elderly, Jiang Yue helped her mother cut the meat into smaller pieces. This way, they could just take it out to thaw when they wanted to eat, which would be just enough for one meal. After tidying up, it was time to eat.
When Jiang's mother came, she bought beef brisket. There were tomatoes and potatoes at home, which was perfect for making a famous dish. Jiang Yue's character is that she can't cook, so she just helped to light the fire and chat with the elderly. After the meal, Jiang Yue lay down and rested for a while. Jiang's parents planned to stay at home for a few days and were not in a hurry to go home.
Jiang Yue's hometown is great in every way except for the lack of Wi-Fi. There is 4G, but her SIM card data plan doesn't have much data. These past few days, Jiang Yue has been posting a Douyin video every day to promote her live stream. Sometimes it's a joke, sometimes she sings a song. In addition, she has spent money to invest in a few Douyin campaigns, and her number of followers is now close to 1 million.
The original owner's account already had over 500,000 followers, which were accumulated from casually posting videos. After Jiang Yue took over, she planned to increase the number of followers quickly. Today, she came to her grandmother's house without bringing professional equipment. Jiang Yue didn't plan to film any skits or anything like that; she would just sing a song in a simple face-to-face pose.
As for what song to sing, just randomly select it. Open the music app, click next song, and as soon as the intro starts, Jiang Yue knows what song it is:
"I really want someone to keep me company when I'm lonely."
No matter how busy life gets, there's always someone to have breakfast with.
Although this idea is clearly too simplistic.
...
Every time love draws near
You can feel him holding you tightly.
He stirs your heart
Cover your eyes
And they won't let you know where to go.
Every time love draws near
They all seem to be waiting for your response.
The world was quiet
The only thing that worries me is your decision.
After singing Rene Liu's "When Love Is Near," Jiang Yue edited the video, adding a segment filmed at her grandmother's house at the beginning. She also introduced her schedule, saying that her live stream playing games might be delayed by a few days. Finally, she added the song title, author, and original information to the beginning of the song. After editing, Jiang Yue checked it and, feeling that there were no problems, posted it.
The internet speed was a bit slow, so Jiang Yue just left her phone there and didn't think about it. Not long after, the video was finally uploaded successfully.
Jiang Yue refreshed the page and saw the number of likes and comments rising steadily. One comment caught her attention: "You sing so well, but when are you going to stream? I can't wait to see you play games!"
"Thank you for your support. I'll be going live in three days at most."
