I couldn't take it anymore; when I went home for Chinese New Year, the family genealogy book ha

Jiang Chen leaned back in the soft Nappa leather seats of the Audi A6L, his fingertips gently swiping across the phone screen.

The small shopping cart icon already has a bright red number "99+" piled up on it.

His finger finally hovered over the button in the lower right corner of the screen, the one that radiated an alluring glow.

One-click checkout

But he didn't press it immediately.

Men tend to have a sense of ritual when buying things, especially for their families.

He reopened his shopping cart, as if inspecting his vast army about to go into battle.

[Chilean Imported JJJJ Grade Cherries 5kg Gift Box x 10]

Very good, ten boxes, a total of one hundred jin.

A slight smile appeared on Jiang Chen's lips.

He could almost see the shocked expressions on his father's face as he distributed the cherries to the old men in the village who were playing chess and smoking, just like he was sharing sunflower seeds.

This stuff is all about "large portions and plenty," letting everyone experience what top-quality fruit is all about.

【Three Squirrels Supreme Nuts New Year Gift Pack x 20】

Pecans, macadamia nuts, pistachios, almonds...

Twenty luxury gift packages piled up in the main room could easily open a small shop.

These are prepared for the children and elderly in the village.

When someone's child comes to pay New Year's visits, they just grab a box and leave without even blinking.

What's this called?

That's called having a broad perspective!

[Bosideng Summit Series Premium Outdoor Down Jackets x 4]

Two items for my grandparents, and two items for my maternal grandparents.

One piece costs several thousand yuan; it's waterproof, windproof, and can withstand temperatures as low as minus thirty degrees Celsius.

The elderly have lived frugally their whole lives; now it's time for them to enjoy the ultimate warmth.

This is called "equal distribution of rain and dew".

Dyson Home Cleaning Deluxe Kit (Vacuum Cleaner + Robotic Vacuum Cleaner)

Siemens 16-place setting large-capacity fully automatic dishwasher

Jiang Chen hesitated for a moment between the two options.

The layout of the kitchen in my hometown probably wouldn't be able to fit such a big thing in there.

But then I thought, whether to buy or not is a matter of attitude, while whether to use it or not is a matter of technique.

You absolutely must buy it!

He wanted to let his mother know that she wouldn't have to do these dirty and tiring chores herself anymore.

[5 packs of Zhonghua (hard) cigarettes]

[2 cases of 53-degree Feitian Moutai (2024 vintage)]

These two things are of utmost importance!

My father, Jiang Jianjun, spent his entire life on construction sites, smoking only the cheapest cigarettes, and he only dared to buy loose cigarettes that cost a few yuan a pack.

When I went home for Chinese New Year, I left these five packs of Zhonghua cigarettes on the table and handed them to everyone who came!

This is what a real man should look like!

As for Moutai, although I already have several cases in my car, the courier has to send two more cases back.

One case is displayed on the wine cabinet as a showcase, and the other case is served directly at the New Year's banquet!

Jiang Chen could even imagine the look on his second uncle Jiang Jianye's face, which was even more unpleasant than if he had swallowed a fly, when his father personally unscrewed a bottle of Moutai at the New Year's Eve dinner table.

Thinking of this, Jiang Chen felt an indescribable sense of comfort.

He scrolled through the screen, looking at the long shopping list, his gaze finally settling on the total price at the bottom.

Total Price: ¥88,880.00

Jiang Chen's brows furrowed slightly.

Eighty-eight thousand?

It sounds quite auspicious.

but……

Looking at the balance of over 3.8 million yuan in his bank account, a strange sense of dissatisfaction welled up in his heart.

I feel like... something's still missing.

Not shocking enough! Not impactful enough!

A hint of madness flashed in Jiang Chen's eyes.

He returned to the product page and started adding items like it was free, in a second round of frantic activity.

Anchor New Zealand Imported Whole Milk, 24 boxes x 20 cartons

[Xiaoxiandun Freshly Stewed Bird's Nest Nourishing Gift Box x 10 boxes]

[Dove Indulgent Silky Chocolate Gift Set x 30 boxes]

[Want Want Gift Pack (Chinese New Year Essential) x 30 packs]

……

He stuffed almost everything he could think of that was suitable for New Year's gifts into his shopping cart.

Who cares if we need it or not, who cares if we can finish it!

That's the kind of abundance I'm looking for!

What he wanted was for everyone in the village to see that the Jiang family's warehouse was full!

This time, he looked at the total price again.

Total Price: ¥99,650.00

Still a little bit.

Jiang Chen's obsessive-compulsive disorder flared up.

He casually added a few more boxes of imported snacks for his sister.

Total Price: ¥100,120.00

100,000!

perfect!

Jiang Chen breathed a sigh of relief, a satisfied smile appearing on his face.

Without any further hesitation, he pressed the "One-Click Settlement" button heavily with his finger!

Enter your payment password.

[Ding! Payment successful!]

A notification popped up on the phone screen indicating successful payment.

The balance of over 3.8 million was instantly reduced by 100,000.

However, Jiang Chen's mood remained completely unchanged.

He was even somewhat looking forward to it.

I wonder what kind of surprise the system will give me this time.

Almost at the same time the payment was successful!

【Ding! 】

That familiar yet slightly authoritative mechanical voice rang out in his mind right on time!

[Host detected engaging in "pre-Chinese New Year shopping spree"!]

[Consumer Behavior Analysis: To showcase the family's strength and enhance family happiness and social prestige, the host conducted a massive, comprehensive purchase of New Year's goods, perfectly aligning with the core theme of "family prosperity"!]

[Spent amount: 100,120 yuan!]

[Trigger a special event bonus – "Festival Celebration"!]

[Note: Large celebratory purchases made for the family in the lead-up to major traditional holidays will receive an additional rebate multiplier!]

[Based on comprehensive evaluation, a 5x rebate has been triggered!]

Five times!

Jiang Chen's eyes suddenly lit up!

Although it wasn't as exaggerated as the critical hits that were dozens of times more powerful before, five times was still enough to satisfy him!

After all, this 100,000 yuan was purely for consumption, to "decorate the image," and filial piety was not the most important factor.

Five times is already an unexpected bonus!

[Rebate amount calculation in progress...]

[100,120 yuan x 5 = 500,600 yuan!]

Five hundred thousand!

[Rebates are being distributed...]

"Buzzing—"

My phone started vibrating violently!

The bank's deposit notification arrived as scheduled!

Jiang Chen opened the bank's app and refreshed his balance.

Looking at the numbers that had surged again, Jiang Chen shook his head helplessly, leaned back in his chair, and let out a Versailles-like sigh.

"Sigh, this money..."

"Why are I spending more and more money?"
