I became the Counterpart of the Winner in a Period Novel-Chapter 270 - 267: Jiang Cheng Is Coming Back

Jiang Mingyue didn’t argue with the old man, as they say, "old small, old small," he needs to be pampered like a child.

"I did bring it, but do you want to come back with me for the holiday?"

To be honest, it would be a lie to say I’m not touched.

But first, he has to guard the door, and second, it wouldn’t be appropriate unless the girl has her own home in the future.

"No, just give me the wine quickly."

"Hehe, I see I’m not as important as the wine."

"You’re just realizing this?"

"How’s your health recently? Any discomfort anywhere?"

"Do I look like I’m unwell? Don’t worry, you’re wasting your thoughts at such a young age."

Jiang Mingyue stopped bickering with him and pulled Yan Jinzhi out of the car: "Let me introduce, Yan Jinzhi, my partner."

This sudden move left both the old and young man dumbfounded.

Yan Jinzhi: Good things come unexpectedly!

"Hello, Grandpa Ma, I’m Yan Jinzhi, working at Wuyun Mountain. In the future, I’ll hand all my salary to Yueyue, as she can’t endure hardships. Please rest assured, Grandpa Ma."

Originally, Uncle Ma’s old eyes were as big as copper bells: This young man driving a military vehicle must have an unusual identity, but his face looks like a blooming flower, tempting, which is not ideal, best to avoid.

But in the next second: Wuyun Mountain? That’s a military base. Although he’s just a gatekeeper, who doesn’t have a few friends? Coincidentally, he has an old friend in that system, who’d mentioned it during drinks.

So, this lad is a true soldier, not just someone from a family with that background.

People of this era naturally have a fondness for soldiers, who are reliable and have stable jobs. This granddaughter found herself a good husband!

"Good! Very good!" The girl has good eyes!

After Jiang Mingyue went inside, she took out all the things she brought.

A roasted pine feather chicken, a portion of spicy rabbit cubes, four dried chickens and rabbits as snacks for the old man, then a jar of osmanthus wine, a bottle of truffle sauce, four osmanthus mooncakes, plus a jar of pickled tofu made by the third sister.

With wine and food, the old man was very satisfied. Life was still good for him.

After the car drove away, Old Liu, who had been lurking from afar, quickly ran over to inquire about the situation.

"Old Ma, who’s that from your family?"

"Of course, that’s my adopted granddaughter and grandson-in-law."

Old Liu widened his eyes in disbelief: "You’re not kidding?"

"Why would I lie to you?" He pointed to the second floor opposite, "The daughter of Director Jiang, who recognized me as her god-grandfather a long time ago. So, I do have family, and my granddaughter is filial, my grandson-in-law is capable, didn’t you see it, the military vehicle, did you see the license plate? A big shot."

It took Old Liu a long time to swallow his saliva: What just happened felt like a dream.

If he had such a grandson-in-law that made him proud, so what if there’s no marriage? He’d be willing too!

The key point wasn’t even over yet.

Uncle Ma then went to the inner room, poured out half a cup of wine, and shook it in front of Old Liu: "My grandson-in-law just sent this to me, today you have a treat, smell it..."

A waft of osmanthus fragrance came, the rich smell of the wine entered his nose, intoxicating Old Liu’s spirit.

He’s a wine lover, life was such, he usually enjoyed a little drink, but he had never tasted wine that smelled so delightful.

He subconsciously swallowed and pleaded: "Old Ma, can you let me taste it?"

Uncle Ma was inwardly overjoyed, and this time generously handed it over: "Drink it, this wine is expensive, my grandson-in-law brought it, it’s a special supply, you’re lucky."

The wine went down, and Uncle Liu felt all over comfortable, this was so different from the wines he used to drink, not only was the aftertaste endless, but his body also felt pleasant, it was amazing!

After half a cup passed through his intestines, Uncle Liu was unsatisfied and pleaded again: "Can you give me another cup? Later, I’ll bring you some Maotai sent by my daughter-in-law as well?"

Old Ma waved his hand, this time firmly refusing, successfully keeping the man hooked, and that day, Uncle Ma enjoyed the "harassment" from Old Liu, his vanity was unprecedentedly satisfied. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

As for Jiang Mingyue, she naturally needed to head to the front, to Eagle Beak Alley to also deliver a portion to Jiang Kangsheng. Eighteen years of upbringing grace may never be repaid in a lifetime.

Fortunately, this father was unusually clear-headed and willing.

Reaching into the basket by chance, feeling something off, Jiang Mingyue pulled it out and found it was a cloth package. By the casual look of it, Jiang Mingyue knew it was Grandpa Ma who sneakily stuffed it while she wasn’t paying attention. When unfolded, inside were over a hundred bucks and a bunch of tickets.

Jiang Mingyue: "...Does this old man not want to live anymore? Doesn’t he know to keep something for himself."

Yan Jinzhi glanced over and suggested: "Should we turn back and bring the old man a bag of rice or flour?"

Jiang Mingyue waved her hand: "The old man is very stubborn, I’ll accept it if he gives it to me, as for rice and flour, I just checked, there’s still plenty." There’s no need to worry for now.

When Jiang Kangsheng saw Jiang Mingyue, the joy on his face never faded, and adding that his daughter brought back such a satisfying prospective son-in-law, he couldn’t close his smiling mouth.

He was feeling a bit sour before, but now, complete joy eclipsed everything else.

"By the way, I have something for you." Jiang Kangsheng came back out, and pushed a passbook in front of Jiang Mingyue.

"What is this?"

"I sold that courtyard of ours." Since Jiang Yihai wasn’t his biological son, he didn’t have any reason to be lenient, the biological son had moved away, so why let the cuckooed son keep it?

Jiang Yihai and his wife were naturally unwilling to move, but he had his ways, directly transacting with Jiang Wu, that man’s notorious, protected by higher-ups, standing there in the yard, how dare Jiang Yihai and his wife resist, swiftly packing up and moving out.

Jiang Mingyue, having the original owner’s memory, felt somewhat regretful, but recalling that mother and daughter pair, Jiang Mingyue thought it sold well.

She naturally didn’t want the money, she didn’t lack it, pushing it back.

"Dad, I forgot to tell you, I now work at the Southern Institute, I have money, I don’t lack this, keep it."

Jiang Kangsheng wanted to force it on his daughter, but the next second, Jiang Mingyue dropped a bombshell.

"Brother Jiang Cheng has news!"

Jiang Kangsheng froze, looking at his daughter in disbelief, waiting for more.

"It’s true, Uncle Zhu found out that the person who took brother back then is called Si Tai. Over at the Gan Institute, they found another piece of news. Brother Jiang Cheng might be coming to Nanxi City soon."

Another heavy hit.

As for Jiang Cheng coming over to look for medicine for his foster mother, Jiang Mingyue didn’t disclose it for now, the old father hadn’t hoped for years, it was better to let him be happy for a while.

Afterwards, Jiang Kangsheng’s whole demeanor was not right, whether it was excitement or what, leaving her and locking himself in the room.

He must be happy.

Jiang Mingyue placed the festival gifts on the table, one roast chicken, one serving of spicy rabbit cubes, one braised chicken, one braised rabbit, four osmanthus mooncakes, a jar of osmanthus tea, the old man loved tea, then a jar of osmanthus wine, a bottle of truffle sauce to go with meals, and a jar of pickled tofu.

Jiang Mingyue didn’t disturb the old father’s joy, she left with Yan Jinzhi, but ran into Jiang Shuangyi and his wife who came to accompany the old father at the courtyard entrance.
