Chapter 108 New Year's Money from the System
"But I just feel bad... Losing money is worse than losing love..."
When Jiang Duoduo thought about the day when she broke up with Fang Chengye, she probably wasn't as sad as she is now!
[Host, you don't have to be so dedicated! If you let yourself go occasionally, you'll find that life is actually very beautiful. It's better to go to bed early, dreams can hold all kinds of possibilities...]
"You're really good at comforting people. Dreams really do have all sorts of things..."
Jiang Duoduo just lay on the bed, chatting with the system in a haphazard manner, until her vision began to blur...
[Ding... The deadline for this free meal mission has arrived. The host has violated the rules and has failed this free meal mission! All rewards for this mission are now void!]
Jiang Duoduo had almost fallen asleep, but now she woke up again when she heard the system's prompt sound that the task had failed.
"You good-for-nothing, aren't you going to get your beauty sleep today? It's already twelve o'clock and you're still reminding me that the mission failed! You really have to be so murderous!"
Jiang Duoduo sat up from the bed and spoke to the system with an unhappy look on her face.
[Host, this is the deadline, the mission failed and the system prompt triggered by itself! Am I the kind of person who would stab my sister in the back?]
[This mission failed, host. Consider it a lesson learned. Don't make this kind of principled mistake in future missions. It's late, host, so hurry up and go to bed! It's New Year's Eve after midnight, so this system will give you some lucky money!]
"What? You're giving me New Year's money? Are you transferring it directly to my phone? Ahhhhhhh... You idiot, you really understand me so well..."
Jiang Duoduo, who was just feeling depressed, immediately changed her mood when she heard that there was money to be made.
[Ding! 1000 points have been added to the treasure chest!]
"Huh? Foolish fellow, the New Year's money you gave out isn't actually money?"
[1000 points can open a treasure chest. As for what you get, it depends on your luck! Isn't this better than 1000 yuan in cash? Besides, this system can't transfer money to your bank card for no reason!]
Jiang Duoduo agreed when she heard it. As long as this treasure chest worth 1000 points doesn't contain those weird skills, the physical rewards she gets are likely to be huge.
I feel so excited just thinking about it...
Jiang Duoduo quickly switched to the system panel in her mind to check the total points.
She had 800 points left before, plus the 1000 points just given, her treasure chest points totaled 1800 points.
I was only 200 points away from opening the treasure chest twice. It's a pity that I lost 2000 points due to the failure of this mission.
But we should always think positively. What if the treasure chest opens up a tens of millions cash prize?
Hahaha……
Jiang Duoduo burst into laughter unconsciously. It turned out that her happiness was so simple. "There's nothing wrong with being a money-grubber. Love may deceive you, but money won't..."
Jiang Duoduo joked to herself and planned to take a hot bath before going back to bed to have a sweet dream.
"Thank you for the lucky money, glutton! Good night..."
Jiang Duoduo said good night to the system and went to take a shower in her pajamas.
She plans to open this treasure chest when the clock strikes midnight on New Year's Day, hoping for good luck in the new year!
……
Have a good night's sleep.
Jiang Duoduo slept until ten o'clock in the morning on New Year's Eve without realizing it.
If they had returned to Daxi Village to celebrate the New Year this year, Jiang Duoduo would have been woken up early by the sound of firecrackers from the surrounding neighbors.
Fireworks and firecrackers are prohibited in the city, but no one cares about it in their small mountain village.
Moreover, setting off fireworks and firecrackers during the New Year symbolizes good health and happiness in the coming year!
Anyone in the village who has a little money will buy some firecrackers and set them off at their doorstep.
It usually starts on the morning of New Year’s Eve and ends on the eighth day of the first lunar month.
However, her family had never bought firecrackers since Jiang Duoduo could remember. Firstly, they were poor and didn't have extra money, and secondly, Chen Shuyue didn't dare to set them off.
This kind of firecracker will produce sparks and crackle when it is slightly lit, so most women don't dare to set it off.
There are no men in Chen Shuyue's family, so they never set off firecrackers during the Chinese New Year.
But when the neighbors next door set off fireworks, Jiang Duoduo and her sisters would cover their ears and run out to watch.
Jiang Duoduo pulled a pillow and slowly sat up from the bed. Judging from the fireworks, the New Year atmosphere in the countryside is indeed stronger than in the city.
Jiang Duoduo rubbed her aching neck, which seemed to be a bit stiff from sleeping. Fortunately, it was not serious. Jiang Duoduo felt much better after a little massage.
It was New Year's Day, and she didn't want to put an ugly ointment on her neck.
She vaguely remembered that she had a very beautiful dream last night. In the dream, at the stroke of midnight, she drove out a luxury RV from the treasure chest.
Then I took my mother and my fourth sister Jiang Niandi to Tibet, Xinjiang and Shajiang in an RV...
Jiang Duoduo felt like she must have been watching too many travel bloggers' videos lately. Through their lenses, Tibet's sky and lakes were exceptionally blue... Xinjiang barbecue skewers were sizzling in the oil, and the slow pace of life in Shajiang was beckoning her...
dong dong dong...
"Duoduo, it's time to get up and help mom with some work."
Chen Shuyue's knock on the door brought Jiang Duoduo back to reality from her fantasy.
"Okay, I'll get up right away..."
Jiang Duoduo quickly got up from the bed. The air conditioner was on in the room, and the sun outside the window was already shining on the bay window.
Therefore, it was not cold in the room at all.
Jiang Duoduo walked around the room wearing a pair of coral fleece pajamas.
……
"Duoduo, eat some steamed buns first, then come over and make dumplings with your fourth sister."
Chen Shuyue put a small basket of steamed buns and a cup of freshly ground soy milk on the table and asked Jiang Duoduo to eat first.
On the other side of the table, Jiang Niandi sat silently, wrapping dumplings with pork and green onion fillings one after another in her hands.
"Fourth sister, if you're tired, stop and rest for a while. I'll make dumplings with you after I'm done eating."
Jiang Duoduo picked up a steamed bun, put it in her mouth, took a few bites and said to her fourth sister Jiang Niandi.
"Okay, take your time and eat. There's no rush. I can't help with anything else, but it's not tiring to just sit and make a few dumplings."
Although Jiang Niandi has been talking to Chen Shuyue and Jiang Duoduo normally these two days, Jiang Duoduo always feels that something is different.
Chen Shuyue was preparing ingredients for the New Year’s Eve dinner in the kitchen.
Jiang Duoduo originally planned to order the New Year’s Eve dinner directly from the hotel and have it delivered to her home.
Unexpectedly, Chen Shuyue saw her looking at the ordering page on her mobile phone.
Seeing the price of 5000 per table, Chen Shuyue waved her hands repeatedly and refused to let Jiang Duoduo book the hotel's New Year's Eve dinner no matter what.
Jiang Duoduo's original intention was to let her mother Chen Shuyue spend the New Year in a relaxed manner, not like in her hometown, where she had to be busy from morning to night on New Year's Eve and had no rest all year round.
However, Chen Shuyue said that the three of them couldn't eat too much for the New Year's Eve dinner, so she wasn't tired at all to cook it herself. Besides, she was very happy to cook for her own daughter during the New Year!
Jiang Duoduo couldn't persuade her, so she had to give up the idea of ordering food at the hotel.
