Chapter 153: Chapter 120: New Intel and the Credited 1 Million Reward!

Tian Family’s Beef Farm.

"Boss, give me a cigarette."

"Boss, your nephew is really something! Buying our farm for nearly a million!"

"The boss’s nephew is a big shot! Haven’t you seen him driving that Benz!"

"And with Beijing plates! Boss, did your nephew buy a house in Beijing? So impressive!"

A few of the odd-job workers usually working alongside Tian Xiaoguang were now all surrounding him, each offering flattering words.

Former coworkers become bosses, and staying or leaving is a matter of their word, so a bit of flattery is still needed.

Tian Xiaoguang was being flattered for the first time and felt quite pleased!

"Alright, alright, all of you get back to work, keep doing what you’re doing, even if the boss changes, your treatment won’t change."

After reassuring his former fellow workers, Tian Xiaoguang waved them off to continue working.

The morning’s feeding tasks were completed, and a few workers could handle the cleaning duties.

Tian Xiaoguang, with nothing to do, thought of the task his nephew had assigned him.

Back in his single dorm room, Tian Xiaoguang took out a clean set of clothes from the wardrobe and changed, then rode his small electric bike out of the farm.

In about ten minutes, Tian Xiaoguang stopped in front of a lottery shop, parked his scooter, and pushed the door to enter.

Approaching noon, business at the lottery store was quite brisk, with several people playing the number games and a few others trying scratch-offs.

Tian Xiaoguang entered without anyone greeting him, and he walked straight to the counter, lining up behind a customer purchasing tickets.

Inadvertently stealing a glance, Tian Xiaoguang’s eyes landed on Tian Mingrong, causing him to freeze.

"Xiao Rong! How could it be her! What a coincidence!"

As soon as he saw Tian Mingrong’s face, an image of a girl with a large braid appeared in his mind.

She was the unrequited love of his youth he never had the courage to confess to.

She was so beautiful and kind, he felt undeserving!

Tian Xiaoguang feared that if he expressed his feelings, they couldn’t even remain friends.

By his count, it had been at least 20 years since they last met.

But Tian Xiaoguang recognized this woman he had a crush on for decades at once.

"Hey, you are, you are Brother Xiao Guang!"

After finishing the ticket for the customer in front, Tian Mingrong looked up and saw Tian Xiaoguang, initially revealing a hint of surprise.

Then she quickly smiled and stood up to greet Tian Xiaoguang.

"Ming, Mingrong, it’s really you!"

"After all these years, you haven’t changed a bit, still so beautiful."

Tian Xiaoguang suppressed his inner excitement and greeted Tian Mingrong in as calm a tone as possible.

"Brother Xiao Guang, stop teasing, I’m in my fifties or sixties, an old lady now, ugly as heck."

Tian Mingrong’s words were somewhat insincere, as women, regardless of age, love to be complimented as beautiful.

Even an elderly lady delighting in being called beautiful could stay happy for a long time.

Tian Xiaoguang chuckled, "Not ugly, not ugly at all, you’re always the village beauty of Tian Family Manor."

Tian Mingrong: "Haha, after so many years, Brother Xiao Guang has learned to praise people! What are you doing now? Are you married?"

"I’m currently..."

Hearing Tian Mingrong inquiry about his work, Tian Xiaoguang straightened up proudly and said:

"I’m the boss at a beef farm now, in charge of more than 100 cows."

Tian Xiaoguang felt thankful for agreeing to his nephew’s offer to be the manager.

Otherwise, admitting to being a cow feeder in front of Xiao Rong would be embarrassing!

Regardless of youth or old age, people care about their image before those they like.

"Wow, Brother Xiao Guang has been doing well these years, becoming a manager."

"Just so-so, I’m just riding on my nephew’s coattails."

"No matter whose coattails, being able to ride them is a good thing; I wish I could ride someone’s coattails!"

"Xiao Rong, you now..."

With no one else in the store, these two long-time acquaintances fell into conversation.

After nearly twenty years without meeting, their unexpected encounter led to an apparently endless, enjoyable chat.

...

Meanwhile.

In front of Jiantao Supermarket in Li Family Town, which had been closed for several days.

Zhang Xiaoyan had just finished making a hand-grabbed pie for a customer when the phone she had left on the food cart rang.

Seeing the caller ID as "the kid’s dad," Zhang Xiaoyan was somewhat surprised.

Her husband rarely called any time of year, it was like the sun had risen in the west today.

"Hello, the kid’s dad, what’s up, anything?"

Zhang Xiaoyan picked up the call straightforwardly and asked.

"Honey! I’ve got great news for you! Huge news!"

On the other end, Jiang He spoke with unparalleled excitement.

As Zhang Xiaoyan continued to toss egg bits into her mouth like sunflower seeds, she chuckled and asked:

"What good news? Did you get a raise?"

"Better than a raise!!"

"Hurry up and say what it is, phone calls aren’t free, or say it when you come back tonight."

"No no no! Such big news, I have to tell you early, it’ll make you happy all day!"

"The kid’s dad, hurry up, stop keeping me in suspense, just tell me already, I’m waiting so long the flowers have withered!"

"Do you remember the big bowl our second kid picked up from outside and brought home?"

"Yeah, I remember."

Zhang Xiaoyan had even used that bowl to feed the chickens, leaving a deep impression.

"Today, our second kid saw that bowl at home, thinking it seemed like an antique, and showed it to a friend doing the antique business, and it’s really an antique!"
