Chapter 401: Chapter 401 Strange Buffs Added 1

Translator: 549690339     —

Jiang Xiaoyan belonged to that category of salty duck eggs.

On the surface, it looks white, but once poked open, the inside is all yellow.

Jiang Xu seldom admired anyone.

But he was sincerely impressed with Jiang Xiaoyan.

She could truly be called a ‘Cardcaptor Sakura’.

“Hehe.” Seeing Jiang Xu’s speechless expression, Jiang Xiaoyan laughed happily, “I’m going back to help Mom wash the dishes. Remember to come to my room tonight and massage my legs for your sister.”

Having said that, without waiting for Jiang Xu to respond, she turned and bounced back to her room.

Jiang Xu shook his head helplessly.

After the dishes were washed, Chen Yue and Jiang Shan went out to play mahjong.

Jiang Xiaoyan at least had some awareness and watched TV in the living room. Taking this opportunity, Jiang Xu pulled An Nuonuo into the study. And closed the door.

On the wall, there was a chart that came with the car last time.

It was about how to drive a car correctly.

Before getting into the car, check the exterior, tires, headlights, and the like. After getting in, honk the horn quietly to see if it works and whether the interior is dirty.

Once these things are fine, start the engine and let it warm up for a few minutes.

If it’s a taxi, there’s no need to warm up the car. Just start it and go.

But for a private car, especially those high-end ones, one still needs to take good care of it.

After the oil temperature rises, then gradually give it gas, slowly accelerating. In this way, it doesn’t harm the car and allows it to perform to its fullest potential.

The next day, bright and early, the family had breakfast and got ready to head back to the hometown.

Jiang Xiaoyan stayed behind.

Jiang Xu’s hometown was also in Jiang City.

Only, it was in a very remote place, close to the mountains.

There were many mountains around, and the roads were full of twists and turns, with basically no potential for development.

They left at seven o’clock in the morning, and only arrived at the hometown at half-past twelve.

Jiang Xu’s hometown was halfway up the mountain.

There weren’t many residents, just twenty or thirty households.

However, it was still very lively during the New Year.

The arrival of Jiang Xu and his group caused a small uproar in the tiny mountain village.

Especially the young villagers who had gone out to work, they all ran out.

“Holy moly, that’s a Rolls-Royce.”

“And a Bentley!”

“Could it be Jiang Xu’s family?”

“Definitely them!”

The villagers had long known that Jiang Xu’s household had become wealthy.

In fact, many who had no prior interactions shamelessly wanted to get into Jiang Xu’s company.

If they were competent, it would have been fine.

But those without abilities still wanted high-paying jobs, and of course, Jiang Xu wouldn’t agree.

Jiang Xu was the first to get out of the car.

When the villagers saw it was truly Jiang Xu, they all became excited.

They wanted to rush over but were held back by the bodyguards.

Jiang Xu smiled and waved his hand to sign.

Even though he returned to his hometown, he still had the bodyguards fend off these people.

Better safe than sorry.

After all, in his previous life, Jiang Shui was assassinated in broad daylight. When Jiang Xu saw the news, his first reaction was that the assassin was young and ignorant.

It was unnecessary to keep holding on to them; just lock them up for a couple of years and pay some compensation, then they could be released.

The family got out of the vehicle.

The male villagers, upon seeing An Nuonuo’s unparalleled beauty, all quieted down.

Besides admiration, they had no other emotions.

Jiang Xu had the bodyguards give out red packets to everyone in the village.

Not much, a thousand yuan each.

It’s not that I can’t afford to give more, it’s just that there’s no need.

Being willing to give a thousand yuan is all because of mom and dad.

After all, I don’t have much of a sentimental attachment to this village, and I didn’t spend much time here in my childhood.

And it’s not something I’ll do every year.

If I don’t give one year, the people in the village will definitely hold a grudge.

An Nuonuo curiously observed the environment of the village.

Basically, it’s either wooden houses or earthen houses.

A very primitive appearance.

But the air is truly good.

The elderly in the village live very long, with many in their eighties and nineties.

There are even a few who are over a hundred years old.

Uncle Jiang Xu is called Jiang Shui, and Aunt Liu Cuilan.

Jiang Xu’s family doesn’t have their own old house here.

Jiang Shan said that when the family split up, Jiang Xu’s grandmother thought that Jiang Shan’s family was better off.

The uncle’s family was worse off, so all the houses were given to the uncle’s family.

It was for this reason that Jiang Shan and Chen Yue had to leave their hometown and venture out.

But even though the uncle’s family received all the properties, they didn’t treat Jiang Xu’s grandmother very well.

Only Jiang Xiaoxiao is somewhat okay; both uncle and aunt don’t really care.

“Ah, you’re back.”

“Come inside and take a seat quickly.”

Jiang Shui, Liu Cuilan, and Jiang Xiaoxiao came out of the house when they heard the noise.

Jiang Shui and Liu Cuilan were very hospitable.

Jiang Xu could tell.

Their warmth wasn’t due to kinship, but purely because of money.

He guesses he must look like a shining gold coin in their eyes right now.

“Uncle, aunt, cousin, happy New Year,” Jiang Xu greeted them proactively.

An Nuonuo also followed suit with greetings.

Jiang Xu indeed held grudges against these two in the past.

But now he’s standing at such a high latitude.

To put it bluntly, there’s no need to quibble so much with these little ants.

It’s just to please his parents, after all.

Jiang Xu looked around, “What about my cousin? Didn’t he come home this year?”

The uncle has one son and one daughter; the son reportedly dropped out of junior high and went out to work.

He’s quite selfish and barely sends money home, and he doesn’t have much rapport with Jiang Xu either.

Oh, he stayed up late last night and is still sleeping,” Liu Cuilan said enthusiastically, “Let’s go inside first.”

After entering the house, Liu Cuilan asked everyone to sit down and then wished Jiang Xu a happy new year.

The implication was she was expecting a red envelope.

Jiang Xu smiled and took out the red envelopes he had prepared in advance.

For the four people in the uncle’s family, one big red envelope each, fifty thousand yuan.

In Yue Province, such a big red envelope is definitely considered explosive.

But after the uncle and aunt received it, their smiles disappeared in an instant.

For them, who place money above all else,

You can tell how much money is in the red envelope as soon as you squeeze it.

Cough cough.” Liu Cuilan coughed and looked at Jiang Xu with a smile, “I heard from Xiaoxiao that you’re doing major business, earning billions a year huh?” ’

The unsaid message was, with you being so wealthy, do you dare to give only fifty thousand for a relative’s red envelope?

Jiang Xu laughed without continuing the topic.

The red envelopes are just that much, not a penny more.

Jiang Xiaoxiao felt quite embarrassed.

Knowing her parents’ character, she didn’t say anything.

Of course, even if she had said something, it wouldn’t have made any difference.

She quickly changed the subject, “I’m hungry; it’s time to eat. I’ll go call grandma over.”

“There’s no hurry to eat,” Jiang Shui also spoke up.

His eyes burning with intensity, he looked at Jiang Xu, “Your cousin is also not young; it’s time for him to settle down.

But he doesn’t have a house yet, can you help out and arrange something in a big city?

No need for it to be too spacious, just 500 square meters in the city center will do.”
