Jiang Wen said, "No need for the trouble. Your mom and I are quite old now; it doesnât matter about the renovations, just get a bit of furniture."
Jiang Tao insisted, "Letâs listen to me on this. Thereâs a long time ahead; letâs renovate nicely to make it comfortable to live in."
"Well... alright! But weâll pay for the renovation ourselves."
Seeing his sonâs insistence, Jiang Wen had no choice but to compromise.
Jiang Tao waved his hand and said, "Keep your money for your and momâs retirement, donât worry about the renovation."
"You donât need to worry about the money."
Jiang Wen was very comforted to hear his sonâs words, but he still refused Jiang Taoâs offer to pay for them.
"Save your money for Lili and Little Snowflake; you have many expenses, your mom and I donât have much to spend on."
Jiang Tao knew his dadâs stubbornness and had to let him be.
Jiang Wen continued, "By the way, Second, we want Third Brother to move into house number 78, what do you think..."
Jiang Tao interrupted with a smile before his dad could finish a sentence:
"Why are you asking me, itâs your and momâs house, you two can let whoever you want live there, you donât need to tell me."
"Haha, okay."
Jiang Wen felt relieved to hear his sonâs words, nodding with a smile.
In his view, knowing Sun Xiaobao and getting his inheritance was largely related to Jiang Tao.
Therefore, when dealing with the inheritance, he instinctively sought Jiang Taoâs opinion.
But Jiang Tao clearly didnât think so.
He had no envy at all for the inheritance Old Sun left to his parents.
Even if they gave one of the houses to the older brother or little sister, he wouldnât have any opinion.
The father and son smoked and chatted on the balcony.
When Xu Li and Jiang Xue finished washing up, mom went to wash, and then dad.
Jiang Tao had already washed earlier, so he just brushed his teeth before going back to his room.
After activating the Sleep Mode for his parents, Jiang Tao and Xu Li played poker for over an hour.
After playing poker, Xu Li rested her head on Jiang Taoâs shoulder, whispering.
Jiang Tao told Xu Li about the things his dad said, and Xu Li agreed with Jiang Tao, saying they should pay for the old coupleâs renovation.
After chatting about the parents moving, the topic shifted to the kids.
"Hubby, do you think thereâs something wrong with me?"
"Why is there no news after so long?"
Xu Li touched her belly, frowning slightly, her joyful mood turning a bit sour.
Since Jiang Tao came home the first day before the New Year, they started the second child plan.
Now, more than a month has passed, and thereâs no sign from Xu Liâs belly.
"Donât say that, didnât you just have a checkup a few days ago, everything is fine, this isnât something to rush."
Jiang Tao gently caressed Xu Liâs skin, smooth as silk, comforting her softly.
Sun Xiaobaoâs cancer also made Jiang Tao more concerned about his and his familyâs health.
A few days ago, he took the whole family for a thorough check-up at the hospital.
Apart from a bit of fatty liver, for which the doctor advised drinking less alcohol, smoking less, and exercising more, there was nothing else serious.
He also followed the doctorâs advice and noticeably reduced his drinking lately.
Besides running every night, he also exercised with Xu Li.
Xu Li just had a bit of anemia, because her period just ended, otherwise, nothing major.
The issues with mom and dad were a bit more, as naturally theyâd aged a lot.
Blood pressure, blood lipids, and blood sugar were a bit abnormal.
Staying in the village, they didnât pay much attention to oral hygiene and only brushed a few times a year, which led to many dental problems.
Jiang Tao took them to the dental hospital to have fillings and implants, spending over 60,000 yuan just to fix their dental issues.
If it were before, they would be reluctant to spend so much on teeth.
With Jiang Taoâs current financial strength, he didnât feel pained.
His parents arenât that old yet.
Without good teeth, they wonât even be able to enjoy delicious food in the future.
"What if itâs another daughter?"
"That would be great too."
"Do you prefer a son or a daughter, hubby?"
"I love both!"
"Pick one."
"Then I pick the childâs mom!"
"..."
The two cuddled together, talking back and forth.
They kept chatting until Xu Li got a bit sleepy around 11:50 PM.
Only then did they end their nightly talk and start to sleep.
[Would you like to spend 66 yuan to activate Sleep Mode for Xu Li?]
"Yes!"
Jiang Tao, with a thought, activated Sleep Mode for Xu Li, ensuring she had a good nightâs sleep.
Through repeated experiments over this time,
Jiang Tao also gradually grew fond of sleeping in Deep Sleep Mode.
The sleep-aiding effect of this auxiliary skill was simply amazing!
Every morning he woke up feeling completely refreshed.
The overall spirit and energy were much better than before!
After activating Sleep Mode for Xu Li, she quickly fell asleep, her breathing becoming gradually deeper.
There were five minutes before the news refresh for tomorrow.
Jiang Tao picked up his phone and browsed Moments for a bit.
Five minutes flew by as quickly as a white horse crossing a crevice.
