Chapter 341: Chapter 300: It’s Time to End 1
Her space has upgraded.
Originally, an average corn stalk would yield two ears of corn, but now it has doubled to four, doubling the yield.
She tried planting potatoes, and they also doubled, as did sweet potatoes, wheat, and rice, all of which doubled as well.
What a joy!
Jiang Mingyue immediately planted sweet potato seedlings. She wanted to cultivate the highest-yield crops to hurry up and contribute to the second batch of donations.
A week later, Jiang Mingyue, through Uncle Mute’s transportation channel, donated over fifty thousand kilograms of grain, with more than forty thousand kilograms being sweet potatoes and over ten thousand kilograms being cornmeal. Another group of people in peril in Lingshui County received the grain, and the leader, familiar with the process by now, wrote a thank-you letter, addressing it to "Shi Wu."
Jiang Mingyue wasn’t sure if Uncle Mute knew that "Shi Wu" was her. Although Uncle Mute’s side had remained anonymous at her request, and the banner was transferred through Cang County, Jiang Mingyue inexplicably felt that Uncle Mute knew "Shi Wu" was her, yet nobody spoke openly about it.
Moreover, she heard that Uncle Mute and his people also donated supplies, supporting those who protected them silently and earning a good reputation, which only needed a few key people to know.
Meanwhile, Liu Chu and his group were intercepted, with the expert team moving west, freeing An Jian to finally come back and rest.
When Xie Yunhai returned home, he saw a "beggar" squatting at the corner of his courtyard wall. He thought he should test if the beggar had any skills. If so, he would recruit him; if not, he would just give him a bowl of food and send him away.
Unexpectedly, when the beggar saw him, he immediately stood up excitedly, "Brother Xie, I’m hungry!"
Xie Yunhai was stunned for a while. The voice sounded familiar, but the appearance...
An Jian immediately understood.
"Brother Xie, it’s me, An Jian."
Xie Yunhai: "...Got it! Come in. Yueyue..."
No one responded, meaning she wasn’t at number 42 either.
Xie Yunhai threw over four cold buns, and An Jian happily caught them and finished them with some hot water.
In no time, Xie Yunhai brought over a big bowl of noodles. The aroma alone made one’s mouth water, not to mention the poached egg and several generous slices of corned beef laid on top.
An Jian was overwhelmed with gratitude, "Brother Xie, I’m so satisfied!"
Xie Yunhai didn’t bother with him and went to the kitchen to fetch his portion.
Jiang Mingyue had gone to deliver food to her uncle.
She discovered she could teleport.
No longer confined to her courtyard.
Of course, she wasn’t delivering rice, flour, or oil anymore; she only brought a jar of wine for her uncle, as she didn’t want to benefit unrelated people.
She mainly came to meet her uncle’s new love, who resembled Lin Daiyu.
She chose a time just before work ended, so everyone was still at work, and her appearance wouldn’t startle anyone.
She waited at the entrance of her uncle’s courtyard, and a friendly neighbor aunt passed by and inquired warmly.
"Girl, who are you looking for?"
Jiang Mingyue met the woman’s gaze, seeing pure enthusiasm, and stood up with a smile, "Aunt, I’m looking for my uncle." She pointed to the courtyard in front.
The aunt asked again, "Is it the new Jiang?"
"Yes, his name is Jiang Zhengye, and I’m Jiang Mingyue. Aunt, do you live next door?"
"Yes, we just moved in less than a month ago. My last name is Liu, you can just call me Aunt Liu. Ming Yue, want to come to my house and sit for a while?"
Jiang Mingyue declined by saying her uncle was about to finish work, but Aunt Liu still fetched a small stool from next door and even brought her a piece of bread.
The bread was still warm, without oil, a mix of buckwheat and cornmeal, sprinkled with fennel seeds. Jiang Mingyue wanted to refuse but couldn’t resist Aunt Liu’s enthusiasm.
"If you don’t eat it, it’s like you’re looking down on it, don’t be so courteous. Your uncle has helped my husband a lot. Almost forgot, my husband works at the machine factory, transferred here from Jing County."
Under Aunt Liu’s eager gaze, Jiang Mingyue calmly took a bite of the bread. She wouldn’t disdain it; she had plenty of refined rice and flour in the future. Instead, she preferred this coarse grain with its original flavor, which was rather delightful.
"It’s really delicious!"
"If you like it, I’ll make some more for you later. The ones earlier got snatched by a few naughty monkeys."
Jiang Mingyue quickly waved her hand, "Aunt Liu, I’m full. Save them for your family."
Grain is precious; she was truly embarrassed to take more.
Aunt Liu waved dismissively, "No problem, we don’t have refined rice and flour, but we do have coarse grains. By the way, Ming Yue, do you know about your uncle’s new woman?"
Jiang Mingyue thought, see, she didn’t even have to start the conversation; Aunt Liu couldn’t help but share the news with her.
