Chapter 158: Chapter 121: Aunt Often Makes Strange Noises at Night!

Xu Li giggled from the side, "What’s the joke that’s so funny, hubby? I want to hear it too."

"I want to hear it too, I want to hear it too! Dad, hurry up, tell us, I love jokes the most~"

"Uh..."

Watching the mother and daughter egging each other on from the side, Old Jiang quickly thought of one in his mind.

"One morning, when Little Worm was having breakfast, he didn’t see his dad and asked his mom."

"Mom, mom, where’s my dad?"

Xu Li, Jiang Xue, and Jiang Bing all focused their eyes on Jiang Tao, their eyes fixed, waiting for him to continue.

"The worm mom said your dad went fishing with someone, hahaha~~~"

After Jiang Tao finished, he couldn’t help but laugh first.

"Pfft~"

Xu Li, who’s always had a low laughter threshold, immediately lost it, covering her mouth with her hand and laughing till she shook like a flower in the wind.

Jiang Bing laughed even louder, "Hahahaha... Little Worm’s dad went fishing with people, hahaha..."

"..."

Only Jiang Xue looked at the three adults with her big, watery eyes, speechless. What’s so funny about this?

A small joke instantly made the atmosphere at the dining table lively again.

After breakfast, Xu Li went to the kitchen to clean up.

Jiang Bing also took Jiang Xue to the old folks’ place to help their dad and mom pack for their first long trip.

With nothing else to do, Jiang Tao drove towards the Tian Family Manor’s cattle farm, planning to say goodbye to his uncle.

Unknowingly, his uncle had helped him earn a million, and Jiang Tao couldn’t just act as if nothing happened without showing any gesture.

As it happened, there were two cartons of Huazi and a case of Maotai at home. He planned to take them to his uncle as a token of appreciation.

At 9 a.m., Jiang Tao arrived at the Tian Family Manor cattle farm, pressing the doorbell at the entrance.

Seeing the big Benz from the gap in the door, a worker at the farm quickly approached to open the door for Jiang Tao.

"Good morning, boss!"

"Good morning. Is my uncle in the farm?"

"Yes, the manager is in the office!"

After a brief chat with the worker, Jiang Tao parked the car on an open space within the courtyard.

He got out of the car, opened the trunk, and waved at the worker who had opened the door for him, asking him to help move the alcohol.

The worker, seeing the conspicuous Maotai label on the box and the two cartons of Huazi, couldn’t help but feel envious!

Why doesn’t he have such a capable nephew?

Led by the worker, Jiang Tao arrived at his uncle’s office.

Seeing his uncle again, Jiang Tao felt a sense of refreshment!

Before, every time he saw him, he was in dirty work clothes, and his hair was so greasy it could be used for cooking.

But now, his uncle had a new hairstyle, a very short buzz cut that gave him a neat and spirited look.

It seemed as if he had become over ten years younger all of a sudden.

He was wearing a dark green down jacket, a fake two-piece wool sweater underneath, formal trousers, and leather shoes.

It was a world away from the previous image of saggy clothes and labor shoes that had lost their color.

"Wow, Uncle, you look sharp in that outfit! You should’ve dressed like this long ago!"

Jiang Tao gave a thumbs-up to his uncle with a grin of praise.

"Haha, don’t tease your uncle, kid. At fifty or sixty, what’s handsome anymore? You’re the handsome one, Xiao Tao!"

"Since you were little, when people saw you, who didn’t say you were good-looking and that you’d definitely marry a beautiful wife when you grew up."

"You’ve really proven yourself, marrying such a beautiful wife."

"Haha, that’s true. Uncle, I can’t argue with that."

Jiang Tao laughed heartily, acknowledging that Xu Li chased after him back then because of his good looks.

After joking around, the two chatted for over half an hour.

Jiang Tao casually inquired if his uncle had any difficulties in life, all of which he denied.

He almost directly asked if the wedding dowry, feast, house, and such were all prepared.

If Tian Mingrong’s demands weren’t overly outrageous.

Jiang Tao wouldn’t mind helping his uncle with their wedding for a couple of hundred thousand.

After all, his uncle had helped him earn a million; considering it a reward for his uncle wasn’t a bad idea.

Jiang Tao stayed at the cattle farm until a little after 10 a.m.

During that time, Liu Zhiyuan and Shan Yufei, who went out to collect cows, also returned with two more.

Now, both of them are shareholders of the farm, enjoying dividends.

They’re also farm employees with a high salary and have been working enthusiastically.

In just a few days, the number of cows on the farm had grown from the original 106 to over 180, nearing the set target of 300 cows.

Before the market mentioned in the Intelligence System arrives, gathering 300 cows shouldn’t be too stressful.

After leaving the cattle farm, Jiang Tao drove to Li Family Town’s Jiantao Supermarket.

Parking on the roadside in front of the supermarket.

Sitting in the car, he turned to look inside, seeing over a dozen customers shopping, with his older brother and sister-in-law also busy attending them.

Jiang Tao didn’t get out of the car, finishing a cigarette before pressing down on the gas pedal heading towards Jiang Family Manor.

"At your peak, I want to sing a song for you~"

"My good brother, tell me what’s on your mind."

"Life has its ups and downs, but you have to live strongly; what’s the suffering and fatigue worth?" 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

"The bond of brotherhood is higher than the sky, broader than the earth, we’ll remember those years~"

Jiang Tao sang along with the music in the car.

Images flashed across his mind like a slideshow, scenes of his life with his elder brother Jiang He from childhood to adulthood.

When they were kids, the five of them squeezed onto a large kang at home.

He and his brother would share a bed each day, teasing each other.

When he first started primary school, Jiang Tao was bullied by several fifth-grade kids.

His older brother would take on a whole group with a stick, ending up with a bruised and battered face.

Because the family was poor and couldn’t support three college students, his brother stopped studying after junior high, leaving the chance to study to him and their sister.

Once, when his older brother started working, his salary was just over 300 yuan a month.

With his first month’s salary, he bought Jiang Tao a brand-new gear bike.

So Jiang Tao wouldn’t have to ride the family’s rickety old bike, which rattled except for the bell, to school.

He wouldn’t have to endure the strange looks from classmates or the teasing from a few mischievous students in the class.

Like a father, the love and care Jiang He gave him, Jiang Tao never forgot.

Now with the Daily Intelligence System, in just over a month, his life turned around dramatically.

His future now seemed smooth and promising.

Helping his big brother within his capabilities felt just right to Jiang Tao.

The small supermarket with an annual income of only 300,000 yuan didn’t really attract him.

But it would significantly improve his brother’s family situation, allowing them to live more easily and with more dignity.

Jiang Tao drove back home and arrived around noon, just at twelve o’clock.

Today’s lunch would be his family’s last meal at home.

Uncle Tianming and his wife next door also came over to see them off and helped prepare the meal.

His father-in-law’s family of three also came to bid farewell to his daughter’s family of three.

His mother-in-law, holding Xu Li, had an expression full of reluctance, but she also supported Xu Li and Jiang Xue going to Beijing with Jiang Tao.

After all, in terms of education and medical care, Beijing was far ahead compared to a small county like Ping County.

Around twelve thirty in the afternoon, sixteen dishes were served on a large round table with a spinning tray.

Everyone took their seats to give them a send-off meal.

Since Jiang Tao had to drive in the afternoon, and Old Sun and his dad would share the car with Xu Li, Jiang Xue, and his mom, it wouldn’t be appropriate to have a hint of alcohol.

So, no one drank alcohol today; they all drank soft drinks instead.

Knowing they were going back to Beijing, his brother and sister-in-law especially rushed back from the supermarket to see them off.

The meal lasted until about two in the afternoon before it concluded.

After a quick cleanup, everyone said their goodbyes at the doorway.

Jiang Tao drove off with his wife, daughter, parents, and Old Sun headed back to Beijing.

It was his parents’ first long journey.

They gazed out of the car window as their hometown grew more distant.

In their hearts, there was curiosity about the big city of the capital, mixed with a little apprehension.
