Chapter 96 Happy New Year! (2 in 1! 2nd update!!)
When Jiang Tao and Xiaomianao arrived at their parents' house, they heard the two of them arguing.

"Your son gave you cigarettes and alcohol, I don't know why you're showing off!"

"A pack of cigarettes costs dozens of yuan, and you just go around the village entrance and give them all away. Look how proud you are of yourself!"

"Is that what I call showing off? What's wrong with me giving someone a cigarette? Stop being so petty all day long!"

"I'm petty! Yes! I'm petty! If you were like Li Ka-shing, I wouldn't care about this!"

"Why don't you look in the mirror? If I were Li Ka-shing, I would marry you!"

"Okay, okay, okay! Jiang Wen, you're capable now. If you can get along, then get along. If you can't, let's get a divorce!"

"Leave if you want to! Go! Whoever doesn't go is a grandson!"

"Grandpa and grandma, please don't get divorced, otherwise my dad will have no parents."

When little Jiang Xue heard that her grandparents were getting a divorce, she became anxious.

There are several little friends in their class whose parents are divorced. They are so pitiful.

She didn't want her father to become that poor little guy.

"Mom and Dad, let's put the divorce on hold for now. The Civil Affairs Bureau is closed for the New Year holiday."

Jiang Tao didn't take the old couple's words seriously, and tried to persuade them with a playful smile.

This old couple has been married for more than 40 years. If they always kept their promises, they would have divorced 800 times.

Seeing Jiang Tao and their lovely granddaughter come in, the old couple glared at each other and temporarily called a truce.

"Xuexue is here, grandma's dear granddaughter. Come on, grandma will take you to your aunt's room to get some chocolate."

"Great!"

When Jiang Xue heard that there was chocolate to eat, her sad mood immediately disappeared. She took her grandmother's hand and skipped to visit her aunt's house.

"Dad, we are grown men and we should have some dignity. Don't argue with my mom during the New Year."

Jiang Tao took out a pack of Huazi cigarettes from his pocket, took out one for himself, and then handed the whole pack to Lao Jiang.

"Ah."

Lao Jiang was still very receptive to advice and nodded in agreement.

Don’t I just want to show off my son? Is there anything wrong with that?
The father and son were smoking and chatting in the yard when the mother came out of the third son's room with Jiang Xue, who had bought a lot of snacks.

Jiang Tao said with a puzzled look, "You've completely destroyed your aunt's snack warehouse!"

"The third daughter is already an old girl, but she still eats children's food all day long. She doesn't act like an adult at all!"

"Everyone in our village who's her age has already had a second child, but she doesn't even have a boyfriend! Isn't that frustrating?"

"Second brother, the third brother listens to you the most. Please persuade her and make her change her mind."

"Since everyone is back home for the New Year, let her try out some new ones, just in case she finds someone she likes!"

"When it comes to blind dates, you have to meet people many times before you can find someone you like, don't you agree?"

"Ahem, okay, okay, I'll persuade you, I'll persuade you..."

Jiang Tao responded with a smile. He was too lazy to tell the third brother about this kind of thing.

When it comes to a major matter like marriage, we should respect the wishes of the parties involved.

People should get married only when they want to, rather than being forced to get married just because you think they should.

After chatting for a while, Jiang Tao told them that Xu Li had invited them to go over and help, and the two elders readily agreed.

At noon, Jiang Tao invited his two nephews home for lunch.

The elder sister-in-law was busy making money, and Xu Li couldn't call her back, so she didn't force her.

But, doing this while pregnant is indeed a bit sad.

Jiang Tao also secretly thought in his heart that if there was any opportunity in the future, he would definitely help his elder brother and sister-in-law first.

After all, they are brothers and blood is thicker than water.

Lunch lasted from 12 noon until around 1:00 p.m.

Jiang Tao, the old man and his eldest nephew Jiang Shijie drank a bottle of Moutai.

This amount is just enough to make you feel a little tipsy, not too much, not too little, just right.

After the meal, Wang Xiaobai thanked Jiang Tao for his hospitality many times, then drove away with his sister Wang Xiaohong and Xu Sha.

"Honey, this is our first year living in our new home, why don't we buy some fireworks?"

After seeing everyone off, Xu Li went to Lao Jiang, who was sitting on the sofa in the living room watching TV, reached out and held Lao Jiang's arm, begging in a sweet voice.

A few days ago, when Jiang Tao had not yet returned, the old man sent Xu Li dozens of firecrackers as thick as water pipes.

When that thing goes off it sounds like a grenade going off. It's quite loud, but it's not at all spectacular.

Xu Li still prefers watching the gorgeous fireworks and the romantic atmosphere.

"Okay, buy some! Buy more this year so my wife can see enough."

Jiang Tao smiled and nodded in agreement, believing that his wife's small request could be fulfilled.

In previous years, Jiang Tao would just buy five or six fireworks and set them off for fun.

It’s enough to just say that it’s a big deal, but in fact, you still feel bad about spending money.

A firework tube costs dozens of yuan for a small one and hundreds or even several thousand yuan for a large one.

How can I not feel sad when I spend several days' salary just to hear a noise and see the fireworks for a moment?

This year, I have hundreds of thousands of dollars in my pocket and goods in my yard that can help me make millions more.

Buy some fireworks and set them off, just like opening champagne in advance to celebrate!
Although Ping County still has a clear regulation prohibiting the use of fireworks this year.

However, it seems that few people take this rule seriously.

In the days before the New Year, the sound of firecrackers never stopped.

Patrol cars patrol the villages every day, but no one has been caught.

"Hubby, you are so nice~ Mum~ Mum~ You are the most handsome husband in the world~"

Xu Li happily held Jiang Tao's face and kissed him several times on the lips.

Now I feel like I’m being pampered by my dear husband day and night.

It made Xu Li feel like the happiest woman in the world.

"Let's go buy some fireworks. Is your cousin still selling them this year?"

Jiang Tao reached out and patted Xu Li's perky and elastic buttocks, and they both stood up from the sofa together.

"Yeah! They're on sale!"

"My brother makes hundreds of thousands of dollars a year from this, how could he not sell it?"

"Go buy it from him, it's definitely not expensive."

The couple hit it off and were about to go out.

When Jiang Bing and Jiang Xue heard that they were going to buy fireworks, they were excited to go along.

"Dad, I want to go too. I want to go too~"

"Second brother! Second brother! I want to use the Gatling gun! I want to use one to kill ten!"

Jiang Bing hugged Jiang Tao's arm and was even more excited than her little niece Jiang Xue when she heard about the fireworks.

Jiang Tao laughed and said, "No one will care if you put 100 of them, just buy them yourself."

"No, brother~ My good brother~ You are the most handsome brother in the world~"

Jiang Bing imitated Xu Li and started to act coquettishly, but the effect was like the ugly woman imitating the beautiful woman. Jiang Tao got goose bumps all over his body after hearing it.

The third child has had a loud voice since she was a child, which is in no way comparable to her sister-in-law's soft and gentle voice!
"Little aunt, shame on you! Grandma said you're an old girl, and you're still acting like a spoiled brat with my dad~"

Jiang Xue jumped around and made faces in front of Jiang Bing.

"Tsk, what do you know, you little brat? This is my dear second brother, right, second brother?"

"No."

"Second brother, you have changed. You don't love me anymore! Wuuuuu, you are not my second brother. You must have been possessed by someone else!"

"You've read too many novels, haven't you?!"

The group went out playfully, with Xu Li driving again, Jiang Tao sitting in the passenger seat, and Jiang Bing and Jiang Xue, aunt and nephew, sitting in the back seat.

Amid the clamor of two lively people, one large and one small, in the back seat, the Mercedes-Benz GLS drove towards the town. Xu Li's cousin, Xu Jiantao, ran a medium-sized supermarket in the town, with an annual income of around 30 yuan.

In addition, he could secretly sell some fireworks and firecrackers during the Chinese New Year and earn another 100,000 yuan.

This income is considered high among many relatives and friends.

The supermarket is not far from Jiangjiazhuang, and it takes less than 10 minutes to drive there.

Xu Li drove the car directly to the back door of the supermarket and saw that there were already several cars parked there.

I guess these people are here to buy fireworks.

Because of the ban, the buying and selling of fireworks and firecrackers is like an underground party transaction.

Jiang Tao and his companions walked to the back door of the supermarket and entered the yard through a half-open blue iron gate.

In the backyard, a fat man, weighing at least 200 pounds, was counting goods and settling bills with several customers.

"Lily's here! You can pick whichever one you like. I'll be done soon."

"When did Jiang Tao come back from the capital? When did he leave?"

When Xu Jiantao saw his cousin and his wife coming with their child, he greeted them with a smile.

There were several customers, both men and women, standing in the yard buying fireworks.

It seems that they are all boyfriends and girlfriends, or couples who come together.

When they saw Xu Li coming in, both men and women couldn't help but look at her twice.

She is 1.72 meters tall and has a face that is more beautiful than those big stars on TV.

Xu Li's appearance instantly overshadowed all the women present.

The look in the eyes of several men when they looked at Jiang Tao was full of envy!
They are both daughters-in-law, why is there such a big difference between them!
The combined beauty of several women is not as good as Xu Li alone.

Feeling the envious gazes of the crowd, Lao Jiang felt a sense of accomplishment, and his emotional value was maximized.

"Go ahead and pick whichever one you like."

At Jiang Tao's command, Xu Li, Jiang Bing and Jiang Xue each took a box and went to choose fireworks.

By the time the other guests paid their bills and left, Xu Li and the others had also finished their selection.

The fireworks selected by the three of them filled up a whole box!

Although this thing is very profitable, the cost is also not small.

Xu Jiantao didn't pretend to be giving it away for free. At most, he would give it to you without making any profit.

Otherwise, that lioness in his family would scold him from New Year's Eve to the fifteenth day of the lunar month.

Jiang Tao was charged 3000 yuan for a large box of fireworks.

Jiang Tao didn't say anything about whether it was too expensive or too cheap. After scanning the code to pay, Xu Jiantao went out with him to load the goods.

When I got outside, I saw Xu Li driving a pitch-black Mercedes-Benz GSL that looked high-end and classy.

The expression on Xu Jiantao's face was exactly the same as that of his second uncle, Xu Wencheng, Jiang Tao's father-in-law.

With Xu Jiantao's financial situation, he could afford a Mercedes-Benz GLS, but he couldn't bear to do so!
After all, he is tied to the supermarket like a donkey every day and can only leave a few times a year.

Buying such an expensive car will just leave it at home gathering dust and is of no use at all.

It would be better to put the money for buying a car in the bank and earn interest.

Xu Jiantao looked at Jiang Tao and asked in surprise:

"Jiang Tao, is this the new car you bought? How much did it cost?"

"A little over 100 million."

Jiang Tao had a nonchalant expression on his face.

After all, he didn't buy the car with his own money, so he wouldn't feel bad about watching his savings drop by 100 million in an instant.

"Over a million! You're awesome, Jiang Tao! You're so courageous!!!"

Xu Jiantao looked at Jiang Tao, and only then did he notice a detail belatedly.

Today's Jiang Tao is quite different from the Jiang Tao he remembered.

Neither his temperament nor his personal conversation were the poor peasant he had imagined.

He felt a kind of calm and confident temperament from Jiang Tao.

Xu Jiantao runs a supermarket and comes into contact with all kinds of people every day, so he has some skills in judging people.

Jiang Tao's temperament and calmness are similar to those of several wealthy bosses who often come to Xu Jiantao's store to buy things.

Isn’t Jiang Tao’s brother-in-law driving a truck in Beijing?
Why is it so sudden...

At this moment, Xu Jiantao suddenly felt that this brother-in-law whom he had known for more than six years was a little strange.

In other words, it was after meeting Jiang Tao in person this time that he refreshed his stereotype of Jiang Tao in his mind.

Xu Jiantao laughed and joked with Jiang Tao:
"It seems like you've been doing pretty well in Beijing these past two years. You even drive a Mercedes-Benz."

"If my supermarket can't open someday, I'll come looking for you."

"Haha, brother, please stop laughing at me. You make hundreds of thousands a year running a supermarket, and I'm just hanging around in Beijing. I can't compare to you."

"Of course I can't compare. You're much better than me. You're driving a million-dollar luxury car. I'll have to ride in your car someday when I'm free."

"Haha, no problem, you can try it whenever you want!"

While chatting, the two brothers put the fireworks in the box into the trunk and closed the trunk door.

Xu Li chatted with Xu Jiantao for a few more minutes, asked about her uncle and aunt's recent situation, and then said goodbye and left.

When the three of them returned home, it was already past 7 o'clock in the evening.

As night falls, the sound of firecrackers rang out one after another in the village.

The fireworks that rise into the sky with a squeaking sound turn the dark night sky into a colorful canvas.

Jiang Tao bought 3000 yuan worth of fireworks this time so that everyone could have a good time.

Alone Better Together.

He called his eldest brother's two nephews to come over.

A large group of people were cheering and setting off fireworks, having a great time.

The New Year atmosphere is here in no time!

squeak~
Crackling~
Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle~
The fireworks, which cost several thousand dollars, were all set off in less than half an hour.

In the end, all that was left was a pile of cardboard that even a rag collector wouldn't take.

If this had happened in the past, Jiang Tao would have lost half a month's salary, so it would have been strange that he would be willing to do so.

In my hometown, the custom of walking around all night on the 30th is still preserved.

After setting off the fireworks, I still didn’t wait for my elder brother Jiang He to get off work.

Jiang Tao had no choice but to take his two nephews to visit his uncles and aunts in the village.

The news that he drove back a Mercedes-Benz was now known to the whole village.

Jiang Tao has become a hot topic in the entire Jiangjiazhuang this year.

No matter whose house we went to, the topic of conversation would always be Mercedes-Benz and praise for him.

It is no exaggeration to say that the praise Jiang Tao received tonight is several times more than what he received in the previous thirty years combined.

The praise, envy and admiration from everyone also made Jiang Tao feel a little elated.

He had never felt this kind of feeling of being affirmed and respected before.

Jiang Tao continued visiting friends until after eleven o'clock in the evening before returning home.

Xu Li and her daughter, plus Jiang Bing, who was like a sticky candy and refused to leave Jiang Tao's house.

The three of them were still sitting on the sofa in the living room, eating nuts and watching the Spring Festival Gala, waiting to celebrate the New Year together.

When the clock struck midnight, Jiang Tao officially said goodbye to his thirties and grew another year older.

After the New Year's Eve, Jiang Bing returned home, and Xu Li took Jiang Xue to take a bath first.

Jiang Tao half-lay on the sofa and opened the interface of the intelligence system.

Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year.

I hope I can be lucky enough to refresh two pieces of high-value information!
