[Today’s Tip #01]:
Yesterday, when you lingered in your allotted farmland during the ancestral rites, you got the following tip—
There’s a jar of Jiahe silver coins with Yuan Shikai’s portrait buried underground by the old landlord Jiang Fugui a century ago.
These silver coins are worth about 246,000 on today’s market!!
...
"Yuan Shikai portrait Jiahe silver coins? What the hell..."
Seeing the first tip is worth over 240K, Jiang Tao couldn’t help but feel a surge of joy.
Even though those earlier tips about rcedes and real estate were worth more, cashing them in is a pain.
But stuff like this—easy to deal with, worth a bundle—feels like money dropping out of thin air!
Still, when he saw the na "Yuan Shikai portrait Jiahe silver coins" in the tip, Jiang Tao felt a bit clueless.
So he opened up his phone browser and searched.
Whoa!
Ain’t that the Yuan Shikai coin?
"So you’ve got such a proper na, huh."
"246,000—Brother Tongzi always delivers. If I were still driving that old truck, I’d have to slog away for a couple of years to make that much."
"This tip isn’t urgent. I’ll go take a look tomorrow when I get the chance."
After reading the first tip, Jiang Tao’s thoughts shifted, and he kept scrolling.
[Today’s Tip #02]:
Yesterday, while eating with your eldest nephew Jiang Shijie, you got the following tip—
Jiang Shijie is dating Wang Xiaohong, and their compatibility is 99%.
Plus, Wang Xiaohong brings wealth to her husband—she’ll hugely boost Jiang Shijie’s luck after marriage.
...
"Well, I’ll be damned..."
Seeing this second tip, Jiang Tao couldn’t help but laugh and cry.
What in the world?
Big nephew and Wang Xiaohong got together?
Those two...
Didn’t they just et yesterday at my place for dinner?
In his mind, Jiang Tao pictured his sister-in-law Xu Sha’s "Beauty Buff."
She’s only about 5 feet tall, short and chubby, skin dark, face full of glorious pimples.
Honestly, as the uncle, Jiang Tao isn’t too satisfied with his nephew’s choice.
But their compatibility’s a whopping 99%—higher than Old Lü and Ma Dongi in Beijing!
At this point, you might as well call them a match made in heaven!
And most importantly—Wang Xiaohong brings wealth!
"Forget it, when it cos to love, an elder should butt out, let’s leave it to fate."
After reading both tips, Jiang Tao glanced at his phone. It was already past 2 AM—ti to hit the sack!
...
Next morning.
When Jiang Tao woke up, he realized the bed was empty.
Xu Li had already folded his clean clothes and stacked them neatly by the bed.
This life, with a wife looking after everything, sure beats being a lonely bachelor in Beijing!
Jiang Tao put on his clothes and walked out, catching sight of Xu Li in an apron, tossing veggies in the kitchen.
Her graceful back made Old Jiang instantly recall his heroic "behind enemy lines" charge last night.
His cald fighting spirit nearly flared up again.
"Honey, go wake Third Brother and your daughter, breakfast’s almost done."
"Alright."
With Xu Li assigning him a mission, Old Jiang snapped out of his battle flashbacks.
He straightened his clothes and went to his daughter’s room to rouse the two sleepyheads.
"Get up, you two lazybones!"
Jiang Tao barged in and started patting the blankets over the two lumps—one big, one small.
"Quit it, Second Brother, I’m tired. I need to lie down a bit longer."
Jiang Bing rolled over, determined to keep sleeping—she’d been up watching movies till past three, so of course she was wiped out.
"Dad, get out—this is a girls’ room, n aren’t allowed!"
Jiang Xue wanted more shut-eye too, so she shooed Old Deng away.
"Co on, your second aunt’s almost done with breakfast! You two are still lazing around, seriously?"
"You’ve been asleep since eleven, it’s eight hours already—aren’t you two pigs or what?"
"Can little pigs sleep half an hour more? If so, count in!"
Jiang Bing would fight for her nap no matter what.
" too, I’m a pig too, oink oink oink~~~"
Jiang Xue said, pulling her blanket over her head and snorting like a pig for good asure.
Yep, this aunt-niece duo really are a pair of goofballs!
Looks like waking them up as per wifey’s orders won’t be easy!
"Hey, Third Brother, your eye bags look massive, plus you’ve got dark circles—bad sleep last night?"
Jiang Tao glanced over and noticed Third Brother’s puffy eyes, showing so concern.
"..."
Jiang Bing couldn’t be bothered to answer.
Why didn’t I sleep well?
Seriously, talking like the culprit didn’t just ask the victim why she’s tired?
In the end, Jiang Tao’s wake-up service flopped completely.
Xu Li ended up coming in and dragging the two sleepyheads out of bed herself.
After breakfast, Xu Li went off to wash the dishes, while Jiang Bing and Jiang Xue sprawled on the living room couch opening Nezha 2 character cards.
Jiang Tao had nothing to do, so he snacked on sunflower seeds and wandered out toward his mom’s place.
Last night was Old Sun’s first night at Jiang Family Manor—Jiang Tao wondered if the guy was making himself at ho.
"Huh—my dad and my master aren’t here?"
Jiang Tao stepped in to find his mom sweeping firecracker shreds from the courtyard, a bit puzzled.
Tian Xiaoi laughed, "Those two were up bright and early and went out for a walk after breakfast. They’re not back yet."
Jiang Tao grinned, "My master didn’t cause any trouble for you and my dad, did he?"
Tian Xiaoi replied heartily, "What trouble? None at all! Your master’s good people!"
"He ca this ti and brought your dad a whole pile of nice cigarettes and liquor."
