Chapter 108: Chapter 104: Watching a Movie and Buying a Nezha Heaven-Fighting Bag!

The cattle farm at Tian Family Manor covers a total area of 20 mu.

Inside, there are 108 yellow beef cattle being raised.

Two years ago, when the cattle market was good, the farm owner could make a net profit of five to six hundred thousand yuan a year.

In recent years, the beef market has been sluggish, with cattle prices remaining low.

Don’t even talk about making money, it’s a blessing not to lose any.

During the New Year, the price of a New Year pig almost equaled that of a calf.

In these years, beef prices have astonishingly dipped below lamb prices.

Cattle farmers all over the country are struggling.

They’ve been hesitating between continuing to raise cattle in hopes of a price rebound and decisively selling them all off.

Early in the morning, Tian Xiaoguang got up to feed the cattle.

Originally there were three workers at the cattle farm, but during the New Year holiday, they all went home to celebrate.

Only he, an old bachelor, was left to guard the place.

For Tian Xiaoguang, celebrating the New Year was meaningless.

He didn’t even change his clothes, still wearing the jacket he usually wore, which had become somewhat greasy from wear.

With stubble on his face, he didn’t bother to shave, or even wash his face.

As he put it, the oil on his face kept him warm, saving money on face cream.

After feeding the cattle, Tian Xiaoguang was about to go back to his room to watch short videos.

On the video platform, there was an old lady around his age, also alone during the festive season, doing a live stream.

Every day, Tian Xiaoguang would visit her live stream room to send small gifts and chat for a while.

Over time, it became a habit, missing a day felt like a day without smoking.

Beep beep!

Just as Tian Xiaoguang turned around, he suddenly heard the sound of car horns at the gate of the farm.

"Who could it be at this time of New Year?"

Tian Xiaoguang muttered a bit discontentedly as he reluctantly turned to go to the gate. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

When he opened the door, he saw a pitch-black Benz parked at the gate, and he was taken aback.

The three-pointed star emblem of Mercedes was really eye-catching.

Seeing Jiang Tao and Jiang Bing getting out of the car, Tian Xiaoguang was even more shocked, his mouth agape, thinking he might have been seeing things.

"Uncle! Happy New Year, we came to pay our respects!"

"Happy New Year, Uncle! Eh, during such a festive time, you didn’t even change your clothes."

The siblings greeted Tian Xiaoguang with smiles, and Jiang Bing didn’t forget to tease her uncle.

"I’m just an old man who feeds cattle, what new clothes would I change into? I wouldn’t look good anyway. Where’s your big brother?"

Tian Xiaoguang heartily greeted them, not minding his niece’s teasing.

"Big brother is busy working extra hours for money, it’s just second brother and me, isn’t Uncle happy?"

"How could I not be! Welcome, welcome, please come in quickly!"

Laughing and chatting, Jiang Tao and Jiang Bing followed their uncle into the cattle farm and were invited into his dormitory.

Once inside, there were two bunk beds in the dormitory.

On the beds, blackened quilts and dirty clothes were strewn about randomly.

The floor was littered with discarded cigarette butts and fallen ash.

In terms of cleanliness, the dorm perfectly met the standards of dirty and messy.

As soon as Jiang Bing entered, she picked up a broom and started sweeping the floor.

Jiang Tao put down a box of milk and instant noodles he was carrying,

Then he took out a bottle of Maotai and a carton of cigarettes from a shopping bag.

"Maotai and top-brand cigarettes, Jiang Tao, you must have made a fortune in Beijing!"

"Oh right, about that car at the door, you didn’t buy it, did you?"

Tian Xiaoguang was once again surprised at what Jiang Tao brought out.

Jiang Tao laughed and said, "I didn’t make a fortune, just a bit of money. The cigarettes and liquor were gifts from a mentor, I brought a bottle for you to try."

"Oh my, I never thought I’d be drinking Maotai in this lifetime! My dear nephew, your uncle didn’t spoil you for nothing when you were young!"

Seeing the Maotai and cigarettes brought by Jiang Tao, Tian Xiaoguang felt deeply gratified!

It’s rare enough that the nephews come to pay respects every New Year without minding his old tendencies.

This year, they brought Maotai and top-brand cigarettes.

Just that treatment was enough for Tian Xiaoguang to brag about for a year with his colleagues!

The second nephew really brought him pride!

Of course, Tian Xiaoguang wouldn’t drink the booze lightly; he’d preserve it well for showing off!

After cleaning, Jiang Bing joined her second brother and uncle in conversation.

Their chat included work, life, the cattle farm, and Beijing.

From 10 a.m., they chatted until 11:30 a.m., when Jiang Tao and Jiang Bing took their leave.

Tian Xiaoguang didn’t even prepare New Year’s food or drinks for guests.

So he didn’t falsely insist Jiang Tao and Jiang Bing stay and saw them out to the gate of the farm.

Watching the imposing, dignified Mercedes disappear on the distant road,

Tian Xiaoguang felt happy for his nephews’ achievements.

"You’ve grown up, grown accomplished~"

"Our nephew is even driving a Benz now."

"Great, great, I always knew the second one would do well, when did my judgment ever fail?"

"Oh my! I forgot to take some photos! Without photos, people might think I’m just boasting!"

Thinking of this, Tian Xiaoguang slapped his thigh in annoyance, feeling he was careless and thoughtless.

At noon, Jiang Tao and his family still had lunch at their mother’s place.

This time, even the eldest sister-in-law Zhang Xiaoyan came with her second son Jiang Shaojie to visit their in-laws.

"Happy New Year, sister-in-law,"

Enthusiastically, Jiang Tao greeted his sister-in-law upon seeing her.

"Ah, well, Happy New Year, Ah Tao,"

Zhang Xiaoyan smiled, greeting Jiang Tao in return.
