Financial freedom starts with the daily intelligence system!

Building a house is a major event in one's life.

From drawing floor plans and designing house layouts to selecting a suitable construction team.

Then comes the procurement of raw materials.

There are countless things, big and small, involved in every aspect.

Jiang Tao chatted with his father and uncle at the old house for a while before saying goodbye and leaving.

It's still a long way from starting planning to actually starting construction.

It was exactly noon when I drove back to my father-in-law's house in Xicheng Huafu Community, Ping County.

Xu Li and her mother-in-law had already made dumplings and were just waiting for him to come back.

"Husband, you are back~"

"I was just about to call you and ask you to come home for dinner, but you came back by yourself."

When Xu Li saw Jiang Tao enter, a sweet smile appeared on her face.

The couple has been inseparable lately.

But whenever they are apart for even a short while, Xu Li can't help but miss her child's father.

She feels she's becoming increasingly inseparable from her child's father.

"Tsk tsk tsk~"

The sister-in-law, watching her sister and brother-in-law still being so affectionate after seven or eight years of marriage, couldn't help but marvel.

As the sister-in-law, she's had her fair share of being subjected to her sister and brother-in-law's public displays of affection.

"Xiao Tao's back! Go wash your hands. I made boiled fish and boiled beef today. I'll wake your dad up later so you two can have a couple of drinks."

Jiang Tao's mother-in-law, wearing a floral apron, came out of the kitchen, her eyes full of smiles as she looked at him.

Du Yongmei is now extremely satisfied with her eldest son-in-law; the more she looks at him, the more pleasing he becomes, and the more she likes him.

"Alright, let's try something good today. I got some good wine from a friend."

As Jiang Tao spoke, he raised his hand to show the nectar in the plastic bucket.

"Huh, is this rice wine?"

Xu Li saw the bright yellow liquid inside the plastic bucket and couldn't help but ask a question out of curiosity.

"Haha, calling it yellow wine is correct. Judging from its color, it is yellow wine."

Jiang Tao laughed it off, saying that it didn't seem quite right to insist that this "nectar" was actually white wine.
Although this nectar does taste more like baijiu (Chinese liquor).

However, judging from its color, it certainly doesn't resemble baijiu (Chinese liquor).

It's not white at all!

Jiang Tao laughed:

"Lily, you, Mom, and Sasha should all try it later. It tastes pretty good and isn't too strong."

Xu Li gave Jiang Tao a playful glare and said, "How can Mom drink alcohol now!"

Oh! Look at my memory!

Jiang Tao chuckled and patted his forehead; he had completely forgotten about his mother-in-law's pregnancy!
Although this nectar has powerful properties, it is still a type of alcoholic beverage.

Whether drinking alcohol during pregnancy will affect the fetus is anyone's guess.

But if it can be avoided, it should definitely be avoided.

Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the eventuality.

"Cough cough..."

Du Yongmei naturally understood her daughter and son-in-law's conversation, and her old face immediately turned slightly red with embarrassment.

I'm already quite old, and suddenly I'm pregnant and about to become a mother. It's kind of awkward.

Xu Li then turned to Xu Sha and said:

“Sasa has to drive this afternoon, so she can’t drink either.”

"OK then……"

Xu Sha looked at Jiang Tao with a pitiful smile and said:

"Brother-in-law, could you save some for me to drink tonight?"

"Your wine looks delicious."

Xu Sha is now quite familiar with her brother-in-law's abilities.

My brother-in-law is the kind of person who drinks Moutai like water.

The wine he got from his friend is most likely to taste even better than Moutai!
"Why are you drinking alcohol, you little girl? Can't you learn something good?"

The mother-in-law rolled her eyes at her sister-in-law.

Xu Sha: "A little drink is good for the soul~ Drinking a little is even better for your health."

"Haha, the second brother is right, a little wine is good for the soul, a little wine is good for the soul!"

As soon as Xu Sha finished speaking, her father-in-law came out of the bedroom and chuckled in agreement.

Du Yongmei said, "You're just making excuses for drinking! You too, even though the good wine Xiao Tao gave you is delicious, you should still drink in moderation."

"Yes, my dear wife, I obey."

"You and Xiao Tao go rest for a while, have a smoke, and dinner will be served soon."

"Thank you for your hard work, my dear wife."

"Shameless old man!"

Watching her parents' affectionate display of love, Xu Sha was unwittingly fed a mouthful of dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection).

It's made her want to find a boyfriend to date.

"Dad, can I drink it?"

Jiang Xue looked at the nectar that Jiang Tao was carrying, which looked like honey water, and her mouth watered.

Hearing his daughter's words, Jiang Tao couldn't help but feel conflicted.

This nectar, while powerful in increasing lifespan, is still just wine.

Alcohol can have a significant impact on the development of children's brain nerves.

Is giving Jiang Xue this drink more beneficial or harmful?
It's really hard to say about this.

"You drink your AD calcium milk, and you're not allowed to drink alcohol before you're an adult."

While Jiang Tao was struggling with his decision, Xu Li had already made it.

"That's fine."

Jiang Xue was just curious about what her father was holding; she didn't really want to drink it.

Soon, a sumptuous lunch was served.

The father-in-law made sauerkraut fish with fish he caught himself, and there was also a plate of bright red boiled beef, both of which were Jiang Tao's favorite dishes.

Braised prawns and braised chicken are Jiang Xue's favorite dishes.

Then there's a plate of stir-fried eggs with chives, stir-fried okra, and other home-style dishes like shredded pork with garlic sauce and stir-fried potatoes, eggplant, and green peppers.

Nine dishes and one soup make a total of ten dishes, symbolizing perfection.

The moment Jiang Tao opened the plastic bucket and poured out the nectar, a rich aroma of wine instantly filled the room.

"Wow, it smells so good! Brother-in-law, what kind of wine is this? It smells amazing!"

"Smell, smell, smell~ This wine is extraordinary just by its aroma! In terms of fragrance, it surpasses even Moutai!"

Xu Wencheng's eyes lit up when he smelled the aroma of the wine, and he gave Jiang Tao a thumbs up with a delighted expression.

"Mom, can I have just a tiny sip? Just a tiny sip."

After smelling the aroma of the fine wine, Jiang Xue looked at her mother with a pitiful expression; she wanted to drink it again!

"No, you're too young. You can't drink alcoholic beverages. They'll damage your brain and make you stupid."

"Honey, can I have one to try too?"

After scolding her daughter, Xu Li happily picked up her wine glass and asked her husband for a drink.

Jiang Tao poured a full glass for his father-in-law, Xu Li, and himself.

"What a beautiful wine color!"

Xu Li brought the wine glass close to her eyes, looking at the golden liquid inside, her pretty face full of joy.

"Dad, Lily, you two should try it too, and give it a taste."

Jiang Tao smiled and said something to the two of them, then picked up his wine glass and took a small sip.

It must be said that this fine wine tastes even better than Moutai. The moment it touches your mouth, it leaves a lingering fragrance, and it's not harsh at all when it goes down your throat.

The aroma of the nectar is also more intense and has more layers of flavor.

"Fine wine! This must be a vintage wine that's been aged for at least thirty years!"

After taking a bite, Xu Wencheng looked at Jiang Tao with surprise.

Xu Wencheng had also tasted the Daughter Red wine that Jiang Tao had dug up from the courtyard in Xiaoshahe.

The wine tastes even better than the Daughter's Red I gave you before; its quality has clearly improved significantly!

"Wow, this is really delicious! It's beyond my expectations!"

After taking a small bite, Xu Li's beautiful eyes were also filled with joy.

Du Yongmei, who was standing to the side, was quite envious, but she immediately held back when she thought of the baby in her belly.

"Brother-in-law, you absolutely must leave some for us!"

Seeing the reactions of the others after they finished drinking, Xu Sha also swallowed excitedly.

"Okay, I'll leave some for you."

After agreeing to his sister-in-law's request, Jiang Tao smiled and looked at Xu Li and his father-in-law, giving them a brief instruction:
"Dad, this wine is aged. Although it tastes good, you can't drink too much of it. You have to drink it in moderation to make it effective."

"My friend said that drinking one cup a day is just right; more than that not only has no effect but also has certain side effects."

Jiang Tao had just deliberately chosen the smallest porcelain cup in his father-in-law's house to pour the wine.

These small porcelain cups hold about 20ml of liquid per sip.

“Your friend makes a good point! It would be a real waste to drink such a fine wine as an ordinary wine.”

"I'll have to drink less from now on!"

Xu Wencheng nodded, fully agreeing with Jiang Tao's words.

A few dollars' worth of beer has its own way of being drunk, and a bottle of wine costing hundreds of thousands of dollars has its own way of being drunk; they certainly cannot be generalized.

The wine that Jiang Tao brought today, although it was in a plastic bucket and looked ordinary.

But after Xu Wencheng tasted it, he was immediately amazed and knew that this wine must be expensive!

At the very least, its value is definitely above that of Moutai!
"The rest are for Dad. You can have a cup every day from now on. This is enough for you to drink for ten days or half a month."

After each person had a cup, Jiang Tao didn't drink too much. He simply screwed the lid off the plastic bucket and gave the rest to his father-in-law, Xu Wencheng.

"Haha, good, good son-in-law, I'll accept you as my son-in-law."

Xu Wencheng didn't stand on ceremony with Jiang Tao. After praising him, he readily accepted the wine Jiang Tao offered him.

He also knew that his son-in-law was not the kind of person who only knew how to talk.

If your son-in-law says he wants to give it to you, then he really means it; he's not just being polite.

"Dad, Dad, Dad, give me some, please give me some."

Watching the three of them finish drinking the nectar and listening to their conversation, Xu Sha's curiosity about the nectar reached its peak.

Xu Wencheng chuckled and teased his daughter, saying, "Nine-one split, I get nine and you get one."

"Mom, sister, brother-in-law, look at Dad! Isn't this our real dad?!"

"Hahaha~"

Everyone laughed along with the father and son who were making fun of each other.

Xu Wencheng was just teasing his daughter, and in the end, the father and daughter reached a 50/50 agreement.

The meal was very enjoyable, lasting from around noon until 1:30 pm.

After finishing their meal and washing the dishes, everyone rested at home until a little after 3 p.m.

Xu Li suggested going to a nearby farm for fruit picking, and the suggestion was unanimously approved.

That rural village is right next to the Qisan Reservoir, not far from the county seat.

Everyone rushed downstairs, and Xu Sha drove her father to the Qi San Reservoir to go fishing.

Afterwards, the group set off again, heading towards a farm called "Veteran Farm".

At 3:30 p.m., the Mercedes-Benz G-Class pulled up at the entrance of the Veterans' Farm.

Today is still the Qingming Festival holiday, and quite a few people have come to the farm to pick fruit.

The thirty-odd parking spaces at the farm entrance were almost all occupied.

Before even entering, I could hear the lively chatter of people talking inside the farm.

"Let's go! The strawberries, cherries, and mulberries at this farm are all ripe."

"I saw people's reviews saying it tastes pretty good too!"

"If it tastes really good later, I'll definitely pick more today and bring some back for Nannan."

After getting off the bus, Xu Li introduced the fruits that could be picked at the farm while smiling and waving to everyone.

During her few days back in her hometown, Xu Li would call Du Ennan two or three times a day. The two were as close as sisters.

They would share anything delicious or refreshing with each other.

Xu Li also received a set of skincare products from Du Ennan via express delivery from Beijing today.

According to Xu Li, that skincare set was worth over 2 yuan.

When Du Ennan gave gifts to Xu Li and Jiang Xue, she was really willing to spend money!

If I didn't know that Xu Li and Du Ennan were both heterosexual, I would have been fine.

Jiang Tao was starting to suspect that the two of them were having a lesbian relationship.

The group chatted and laughed as they entered the farm and arrived at the service desk.

The farm's fruit-picking program is charged per person.

It's 66 yuan per person, all you can eat.

When they leave, each person can take one pound of each of the three types of fruit with them.

For any amount exceeding the farm's price, simply pay according to the farm's listed price.

Xu Li had already purchased the coupons on a group-buying platform. After successful redemption, each person received a small bamboo basket.

Several people, carrying small bamboo baskets, followed the staff's instructions and went to a greenhouse to pick strawberries.

The strawberries tasted pretty good, sweet and sour, and they were quite big too. The group picked three full baskets.

After picking strawberries, we went to pick cherries.

The farm has planted more than 40 acres of cherries, and there are quite a few varieties.

They have all kinds of cherries, like Crystal, Early Morning, Red Lantern, and Blues.

Xu Li and her mother-in-law Du Yongmei were in charge of picking the fruit, Jiang Tao and Jiang Xue were in charge of eating, and Xu Sha took a bunch of photos with her phone.

The group worked together, and it was quite enjoyable.

We entered at 3:30 pm and played until 6 pm when the farm was about to close before we went to the service desk to pay.

Besides the few kilograms of fruit included with the admission ticket, Jiang Tao spent an additional 500 yuan on extra fruit.

500 yuan is nothing to Jiang Tao, who now earns tens of thousands of yuan a day.

As long as Xu Li and the others have fun and enjoy themselves.

Let alone 500, he wouldn't even blink an eye at 5000 yuan.

All the fruit was packed into insulated foam boxes.

The boss even had two workers help carry it outside and load it onto the truck.

At 6:30 p.m., everyone returned home with their bags full.

Xu Li divided the boxes of fruit into four portions.

Each set of parents received one copy, they kept one copy for themselves, and the remaining copy was given to Du Ennan in Beijing.

After playing all afternoon, everyone was tired and too lazy to cook anymore.

Jiang Tao took everyone to a big plate chicken restaurant outside the community for a meal.

After eating and drinking her fill, Xu Li first took her mother and sister home, and then went home herself.

The family of three returned to Jiangjiazhuang at around 9 p.m.

I delivered several boxes of fruit to my parents and chatted for a while before going home.

After returning home, Xu Li took Jiang Xue to wash up first, while Jiang Tao was the last to wash.

By the time Jiang Tao finished washing up, Jiang Xue had just fallen asleep.

The two-child policy is underway! (End of Chapter)
