Chapter 107: It’s Unboxed! Bp Ao Bing Card!
After settling the old ox, Jiang Tao went straight back home.
Back home, he saw two beautiful women, one big and one small, already dressed up.
Xu Li was sitting on the living room sofa, braiding Jiang Xue’s hair while she sat on a small stool.
“Honey, what were you rushing off to do just now?”
Seeing Jiang Tao return, Xu Li looked up at him and asked curiously.
Jiang Tao smiled and said, “I just bought an ox. We’ll slaughter it and eat beef in a couple of days when we have time.”
“Ah? You bought… an ox?”
Upon hearing Jiang Tao’s words, Xu Li’s beautiful eyes blinked at him, thinking he was joking.
“Yes, it’s the kind that goes ‘moo~'”
As Jiang Tao spoke, he made an ox sound, which made Jiang Xue, sitting on the small stool, giggle with laughter.
“Daddy is the old ox~ Then Mommy is Princess Iron Fan! I’m Hong Hai’er~”
Jiang Xue clapped her hands, casting herself in the role of a second-generation demon.
Xu Li rolled her eyes at Jiang Tao and said with a charming laugh:
“You’re over thirty, can’t you be a little more serious? Why would you buy an ox out of the blue? Are you planning to farm at home?”
Jiang Tao smiled mysteriously, “After you finish braiding Xue’s hair, I’ll tell you a little secret.”
“What little secret?”
As Xu Li spoke, with a snap, she clipped the last Ultraman Hair Clip onto Jiang Xue’s head.
She then got up from the sofa.
“Let’s go inside and talk.”
Jiang Tao stepped forward, took Xu Li’s hand, and headed straight for the master bedroom where they slept.
Upon entering, Jiang Tao shut the door with a bang.
“What secret is it that it needs to be so…”
Xu Li looked at Jiang Tao with a curious expression, her curiosity fully piqued.
Jiang Tao lowered his voice and said, “This matter, only heaven, earth, you, I, and our uncle know. We absolutely cannot let anyone else find out.”
“Even our parents, it’s best not to tell them. Leaking it could cause unnecessary trouble.”
“Mmm-hmm! Honey, don’t worry~ My lips are super sealed, I definitely won’t tell anyone!”
As Xu Li spoke, she made a zipping motion on her lips, her playful look incredibly cute.
Describing a thirty-one-year-old married woman as “cute” might not be entirely appropriate.
But there was no more suitable word to describe Xu Li’s seemingly innate liveliness and cheerfulness.
Even during Jiang Tao’s poorest days, she always faced life optimistically and positively, never putting any pressure on him.
“There will be a day when hardship gives way to sweetness!”
Xu Li always kept this sentence on her lips.
Her optimistic and uplifting spirit was like a bright light.
It illuminated Jiang Tao’s lowest and darkest moments.
Having endured hardships together, Jiang Tao was now more willing to share his joys with Xu Li and bring her more happiness.
On the way back from the cattle farm, Jiang Tao had already been thinking about how to tell Xu Li. Such a big matter couldn’t be kept hidden.
“My uncle called me then and said he thought one of the cows at their cattle farm might have a natural calculus bovis inside.”
“Do you know what natural calculus bovis is?”
“No.”
Xu Li looked at Jiang Tao with her beautiful eyes, stating it with conviction.
“Uh, natural calculus bovis is…”
“You don’t need to know too much, just know that it’s very expensive! It can sell for six to seven hundred thousand per jin.”
Jiang Tao was too lazy to explain what calculus bovis was to his silly wife, so he just stated the price.
“Is it sixty thousand, or seventy thousand, or a hundred thousand?”
Xu Li blinked her big eyes at Jiang Tao, her gaze incredibly clear.
Jiang Tao said with a wry smile, “What six, seven, or ten thousand? It’s six to seven hundred thousand! Six to seven, over 700,000, does that make sense?”
“700,000 per jin? Then… at least 200, no, at least 300 jin for a cow!”
“Honey, does that mean we’re instantly billionaires!”
Xu Li calculated and immediately excitedly grabbed Jiang Tao’s arm.
“Uh…”
Jiang Tao looked at his wife speechlessly.
They say a woman is silly for three years after giving birth, but his silly wife had been silly for six years and still hadn’t recovered her wit.
“300 jin is a yellow ox, not calculus bovis. A cow might have 1000 grams at most, and you’re talking about 300 jin! You’re dreaming about money.”
Jiang Tao chuckled and pinched Xu Li’s fair, shapely nose, waking her from her billionaire wife dream.
“Uh, only that much? Well, it’s still acceptable.”
Xu Li sniffled but didn’t seem disappointed.
“Honey, do you think our family’s recent good luck with money has something to do with this lucky stone?”
As Xu Li spoke, she raised her arm to show Jiang Tao the Heluo Stone she wore on her wrist.
Xu Li was nimble and clever, using braided cord to turn the fingernail-sized round Heluo Stone into a beaded bracelet she wore daily.
She had also braided Jiang Tao’s into a charm, which he carried in his pocket every day.
“Very possible. Remember to wear it with you from now on; it will bring you good luck.”
Jiang Tao responded with a smile, agreeing.
Others might not know, but he knew the specific efficacy of this ‘Heluo Stone’ and had conducted many experiments.
“Let’s go, didn’t your mom ask us to come over early today? Let’s get ready to leave.”
Before leaving, Jiang Tao playfully patted Xu Li’s round, firm, perky butt, and turned towards the door.
“How dare you say that! My mom has already called three times to rush us.”
Xu Li gave a charming roll of her eyes and quickly followed Jiang Tao’s steps, then with a snap, she also playfully slapped Jiang Tao’s behind.
She was not one to be outdone.
It was the same at night when they played cards, competitive and liking to take the lead.
“…”
Jiang Bing, coming out of the bathroom, watched the two of them laughing and playfully shoving each other, shaking her head.
I mean, you two are already middle-aged thirty-one-year-olds after the Spring Festival, aren’t you childish!
“Second Brother, part of the money for the Ultraman Hair Clips has arrived. Do you want it transferred to your WeChat or Alipay?”
As Jiang Bing spoke, she took out her mobile phone to make the transfer, completely unaware of her second brother’s murderous glare.
For this guy to say that in front of her second sister-in-law, how could she possibly hide her private money!
Xu Li asked excitedly from the side, “How much arrived, Third Sister?”
Jiang Bing replied truthfully, “A little over 60,000.”
“Honey~~”
Xu Li turned to Jiang Tao, and her single “Honey” sent shivers down Jiang Bing’s spine.
So sweet, so incredibly sweet!
Jiang Bing felt that no man in the world could withstand her second sister-in-law’s “Honey” and remain unmoved.
Jiang Tao said heartbrokenly from the side, “Transfer the money to your sister-in-law!”
“Hehe, my honey is the best to me~ You’re the most handsome, most handsome husband in the world~ Muah~”
As Xu Li spoke, she went forward, hugged Jiang Tao’s arm, and planted a kiss on his cheek.
“You two are going to make me sick!!”
Jiang Bing, force-fed dog food from the side, rolled her eyes at her second brother and second sister-in-law speechlessly.
Staying at her second brother’s house, besides it being warm and comfortable, another benefit was never going hungry.
There was plenty of dog food!
Jiang Bing couldn’t help but wonder, they’ve been married for so many years, why are they still so clingy?
Is this what love looks like?
Where is her own love!
“Xiao Bing, transfer 30,000 to my Alipay and 30,000 to your brother, please and thank you~”
Xu Li looked at Jiang Bing with a smile. She wasn’t greedy and left half for Jiang Tao.
“Okay.”
As Jiang Bing spoke, she operated her phone and transferred 30,000 yuan to both her second brother and sister-in-law.
The cash in Jiang Tao’s hand finally returned to over 30,000.
Jiang Tao didn’t really care about the money from the Ultraman Hair Clips.
He wouldn’t have minded even if Third Sister had given it all to Xu Li.
After all, savings not only make a man stand taller but also increase a woman’s sense of security and happiness.
Giving Xu Li more money, more security, and more happiness was also what Jiang Tao, as a husband, should do.
He doted on his own wife.
Although Jiang Tao didn’t have much cash on him at the moment, it didn’t mean he was truly poor.
The funds from the Flying Pig Popcorn Bucket hadn’t started to flow back yet.
Once the time was right for sales, he would harvest a large sum.
Then there was the Yuan Datou silver dollar he had brought back yesterday, worth nearly 300,000.
And the ox he bought this morning.
Old Jiang’s nest egg was deep!
He truly didn’t care about the small amount of money earned by cooperating with Third Sister on the Ultraman Hair Clips project.
He considered it pocket money for his wife.
After completing the transfer, Jiang Tao took his two beautiful ladies, one big and one small, out.
Xu Li sat in her designated front passenger seat, and Little Cotton Jacket was placed in the back seat by Jiang Tao.
The Mercedes-Benz GLS, a large SUV, was a bit too big for Little Cotton Jacket; her short legs made it difficult to climb in.
After getting in and buckling up, he started the car and drove towards Ping County town.
“Honey, did you see yesterday’s Kuaidou trending searches?”
“Someone actually won 400,000 by scratching a scratch card! Their luck is too good!”
In the front passenger seat, Xu Li scrolled through her phone, chatting with Jiang Tao.
“Perhaps they were destined for that kind of luck with money.”
Jiang Tao replied with a smile as he drove.
What he didn’t tell Xu Li was that he had won once too.
Although not as much as the other person’s winnings, it was still 20,000 yuan, which became his private money.
“Honey, honey, look, that lottery shop over there is open, let’s go try our luck!”
Xu Li’s gaze fell upon the lottery shop where she had helped Jiang Tao buy lottery tickets before, and it was open.
She immediately became interested and wanted to try challenging the odds.
“Alright, let’s try.”
Jiang Tao didn’t want to dampen Xu Li’s spirits, so he turned the steering wheel towards the empty space in front of the lottery shop.
Moreover, he also wanted to see if he could trigger another piece of intelligence related to the lottery shop.
If System Brother was powerful, maybe he could get a first prize in the lottery, saving him several years of hard work.
After parking the car, the family of three got out and pushed open the door to enter the shop.
Upon entering, Jiang Tao saw a woman sitting behind the counter.
The woman was around fifty years old, wearing a black down jacket, holding a mobile phone, and seemingly watching a short play.
“Tian Mingrong, you are just a nanny hired by our family!”
“Don’t you even look in the mirror! You old hag! How dare you seduce my son! Have you no shame!”
“Mom! Rong Yi and I are truly in love! Please speak to her politely.”
“Young master, please stop. We are not a good match. You will find a better woman.”
“No! I will only love you in this life. No one can separate us!”
The voice from the mobile phone was so cringeworthy it could pierce through the floor, but the woman watched with great interest, even wiping her eyes emotionally.
Hearing the movement at the door, the woman paused the video and looked at the trio.
“Big sister, do you have any scratch cards, new and unopened? Give us a whole book.”
Jiang Tao, holding Little Cotton Jacket, stood at the counter and asked.
“Yes, yes. I just got a large batch before the Spring Festival. You can choose which book you want.”
Hearing that Jiang Tao wanted to buy a whole book, Tian Mingrong’s face lit up with joy.
She opened the drawer of the counter and brought out more than ten types of scratch cards.
There were 5 yuan, 10 yuan, and 20 yuan ones, a wide variety.
In the end, Jiang Tao chose the “Ten Times Lucky” type he often scratched.
A whole pack had 50 cards, costing 500 yuan.
After scanning the code and paying, Jiang Tao divided the entire pack into three portions.
He and Xu Li each got 17 cards, and Jiang Xue also received 16 cards.
Let’s scratch!
The final haul: Jiang Tao scratched out 320 yuan in prizes, and Xu Li scratched out 350 yuan.
Jiang Xue got the least, only 100 yuan.
The value of the Heluo Stone continued to rise!
For scratch cards bought for 500 yuan, they ended up scratching out 770 yuan, a net profit of 270 yuan!
This result was quite good.
Generally, if a whole book scratches out 350 yuan in prizes, it’s a lot.
Losing around 100 yuan is the norm.
After all, scratch cards are issued to make money, not to lose money.
After redeeming their prizes, the family of three happily left.
“Hehe, honey, if only our luck every day was as good as today!”
“Wouldn’t that mean we could earn 270 yuan every day?”
“That would cover our family of three’s food and living expenses!”
Back in the car, Xu Li looked at Jiang Tao with a smile, her face showing the expression of a little money-lover.
“That’s a good idea, you can try.”
Jiang Tao replied with a smile, not wanting to discourage Xu Li.
A scratch card worth 1 million yuan had 100,000 yuan in prize money set at the factory.
Within the rules, no matter how good your luck is, it’s useless.
When the family of three arrived at Xu Li’s parents’ house, it was already 10:30 AM, more than half an hour later than in previous years.
“Grandma, Grandpa, Happy New Year, Gong Xi Fa Cai, give me a red envelope~”
As soon as Jiang Xue entered, she started wishing her grandparents a Happy New Year and received two red envelopes that were thicker than those from Grandpa’s house.
Her father-in-law had a good income and was well-off.
Plus, she was their only granddaughter, so they were very generous with red envelopes every year.
The old couple each gave a large red envelope containing 1000 yuan.
Of course, this money ultimately went into Xu Li’s pocket, which she used for Jiang Xue’s kindergarten tuition and living expenses.
“Huh, isn’t Shasha here?”
After some playful banter, Xu Li realized her sister wasn’t home.
Du Yongmei said, “She was called away by Wang Xiaohong early this morning. She should be back soon.”
Click~
Speak of the devil, as soon as Du Yongmei finished speaking, the room door was pushed open from the outside.
Xu Sha entered the house carrying a large black plastic bag.
“Here you go.”
Upon entering, Xu Sha walked directly to Jiang Tao and handed him the black bag.
“Thanks, Shasha.”
Jiang Tao took the bag and thanked his sister-in-law with a smile.
Although this girl’s attitude towards him was a bit impolite.
But Jiang Tao, as a grown man, wouldn’t bicker with a young girl.
“Honey, what did you buy again?”
“Huh, aren’t these Dou Tian Bao cards that Xiao Bing and Xiao Xue bought? You bought so many.”
Xu Li took out a box of Dou Tian Bao cards from the black bag, her expression a mix of confusion and surprise.
Jiang Tao smiled and said, “Yeah, I saw that Xue and the others really liked playing, so I bought more for them to have fun.”
“Daddy, Daddy, you’re the best daddy in the world! Let’s open the cards!”
Seeing the Dou Tian Bao cards in Xu Li’s hand, Jiang Xue’s face lit up with joy, and she pulled Jiang Tao to the coffee table to open the cards.
“Your daughter will eventually be spoiled by you.”
Xu Li shook her head with a smile as she watched the father and daughter, not saying anything more.
The money had already been spent, so let them have fun!
It was the Spring Festival, they shouldn’t be disappointing parents.
“Mom, is there anything I can help with?”
Xu Li shifted her gaze from the father and daughter and went into the kitchen to help her parents cook.
Xu Sha went back to her own small room for some unknown reason.
Only Jiang Tao and Jiang Xue were left in the living room opening cards.
Soon, Jiang Tao locked onto the card pack that emitted a faint golden glow in his sight.
He then subtly put it into his pocket.
Immersed in the joy of opening cards, Jiang Xue naturally didn’t notice her father’s small move.
“The ‘Old Yellow Ox’ and the personally signed card are both in hand, perfect!”
In the span of the morning, Jiang Tao had successfully obtained the items mentioned in the two pieces of intelligence, and he felt instantly relaxed.
At noon, another incredibly rich feast was served, with sixteen dishes one after another.
The high standard of treatment made Xu Sha, standing by, extremely envious!
This was the treatment of a biological daughter!
Her mother-in-law’s cooking was consistently excellent, no less than that of master chefs in restaurants outside.
Jiang Tao drank a bottle of Moutai with his father-in-law, and the dining atmosphere was very harmonious.
After eating and drinking their fill, they chatted until after 4 PM, and then Jiang Tao’s family of three bid farewell and left.
They arrived home just as it turned 5 PM.
Jiang Xue continued to sit on the sofa, opening card packs one after another.
Xu Li lay on Jiang Tao’s lap, watching television, completely relaxed.
Seeing that the time was right, Jiang Tao quietly took out the pack of Dou Tian Bao he had hidden in his back pocket at his father-in-law’s house that morning and began to open it.
System Brother was as reliable as ever, never disappointing anyone!
Inside the pack of Dou Tian Bao that Jiang Tao opened, there was indeed a BP card with cartoon Ao Bing.
It had a signature on it that was so artistic Jiang Tao could barely recognize it, but that didn’t matter!
What was important was that it was the personal signature of Director Jiaozi!
“Huh, wife, look what this is?”
Jiang Tao pretended ignorance and held the Director Jiaozi personally signed card in his hand, waving it in front of Xu Li.
“Huh? This is…”
Seeing the card Jiang Tao held in front of her, Xu Li was stunned for a moment, then quickly sat up from the sofa.
She snatched the card from Jiang Tao’s hand.
Upon seeing Director Jiaozi’s signature on it, Xu Li’s breathing quickened!
