I became the Counterpart of the Winner in a Period Novel-Chapter 371 - 319: That Young Man Resembles Someone

"It’s really fast!"

Jiang Mingyue noted down the communal phone number from the letter, took out other items and placed them on the Eight Immortals table, and then put the box into the space warehouse.

Her treasures just increased by one more item!

After receiving such a generous gift from Cousin Xu, Jiang Mingyue felt it was necessary to send something warm back in return.

Cousin Xu liked her wine, but sending it in a package might not be convenient, so Jiang Mingyue ultimately chose some dried chicken and rabbit, cured chicken and rabbit, as well as morel mushrooms and flower tea, all wrapped tightly in moisture-proof oilcloth.

Remembering what she heard about Cousin Xu looking for calcium tablets for Grandpa Xu, Jiang Mingyue pondered whether to take them out directly for Grandpa Xu or send them to her cousin.

But after thinking it over, she finally opened the oilcloth, stuffed a letter and a bottle of calcium tablets from the research institute inside.

The post office would probably be closed now, so Jiang Mingyue took the things out of the space and placed them in a corner to remind her to mail them the next morning.

After checking the time, Jiang Mingyue went to the kitchen to wash rice and cook. Brother Xie’s umbrella was no longer under the eaves, presumably he had gone out again.

After putting the rice on to steam and estimating the firewood, she went into the space to store grain. They had just stored another batch, and she didn’t know how the disaster relief in Lingshui County was going. If needed, she would continue to donate money and send grain.

When going out, Jiang Mingyue picked a bit of every kind of fruit, piled them high on the large sieve on the Eight Immortals table, so anyone who wanted could take them from there.

She also brought out some ingredients from the space.

When Xie Yunhai returned, he paused for a moment looking at the rich and exquisite fruits on the Eight Immortals table. But then, remembering that heavy large box, he also figured it must have been, and immediately grabbed a big apple and started munching.

Then he paused again, after a long time...continued to munch, muttering under his breath, "The fruit sent by Xu Modun is really delicious. Not even the Queen Mother’s peaches could compare, since these are so abundant and those are singular."

"Brother Xie, I want some too." Xiao Ran had somehow made his way behind him, rubbing his drowsy eyes. Xie Yunhai brought him to the table, "Choose whatever you want."

Xiao Ran wasn’t afraid of Xie Yunhai. The little guy had already been eyeing the array of fruits, but it was hard to choose because each one was fresh and tempting.

"Ha! Too many choices? You’re small, let’s eat this instead, and we’ll soon have dinner." Xie Yunhai plucked a grape and handed it over, "Peel it yourself."

Thinking about his sister cooking alone, Xiao Ran lost interest in choosing more, grabbed the grape, and ran to the kitchen.

"Sis, let me start the fire for you."

"You’re awake? No need, the leftover fire will suffice. Just take the bowls and chopsticks to the main hall."

After setting up the bowls and chopsticks, An Jian returned from work, shaking the mud off his shoes on the stone steps before entering the house.

Xie Yunhai, disdainfully joking, "I think you should go change your shoes first. While Nanxi City can’t compare to the provincial capital, it’s still a thousand-year-old ancient city with bluestone pavements everywhere. How did you end up with such dirty feet?"

An Jian: "..." Could he say it was because he stepped into someone’s open field to fetch a toy for a brat?

"I’ll just borrow Brother’s slippers."

Xie Yunhai: Regretting his previous words.

After dinner, An Jian told her he had some work to do the next afternoon, then slipped away.

"Knock, knock, knock!"

The big and small ones in the courtyard exchanged glances: Who could it be at this hour? Brother wouldn’t be back until tomorrow, it couldn’t possibly be him, right?

It wasn’t Jiang Ming’an either.

Upon opening the door, Xiao Ran was dumbfounded by the enthusiastic greeting of an unidentified creature at the entrance.

"Baa baa baa!"

Standing there was a man and a woman, and the man was holding a goat.

They were familiar faces, but at the moment Xiao Ran was stunned by the bleating of the goat.

Jiang Shuangyi came up and ruffled the little goose’s head, laughing as he ushered him into the courtyard, "Where’s your sister? Has she eaten yet?"

Jiang Mingyue, who was circling in the backyard after eating, was equally taken aback when she saw the goat in her second brother’s hands.

"Don’t just stand there. Where do you want to keep this goat? I’ll take it there for you."

Zhu Xiangxiang explained, "It’s easy to take care of. You have so much wild grass in the backyard, don’t rush to clear it. Just use it to raise the goat, and it’ll grow up sleek and healthy. It just had a kid, and as long as it’s well-fed, it’ll produce plenty of milk. Xiao Ran is still small, and it’d be good for him, and for you too."

Truthfully, Jiang Mingyue had long wanted a dairy cow, but it was clearly impossible to get one. A goat would do, though still hard to come by. But now, her second brother unexpectedly brought her a dairy goat. She couldn’t be more thrilled.

"Since sister-in-law says so, I won’t be polite." With it already delivered to her home, there was no need to refuse, so Jiang Mingyue readily accepted it.
