Chapter 317 - 164: The Booming Cattle Market and an Olive Branch to My Uncle!

"Not bad, not bad. Uncle, you all did a great job. You’ve all worked hard."

"Once this project is completed, besides the usual bonuses, I’ll give each of you a big red envelope."

On the other end of the phone, Jiang Tao, after hearing about today’s sales, smiled and praised his uncle.

"By the way, Uncle, after you sell all the cattle at the farm, you and Aunt come to Beijing."

"I’ll arrange a new job for both of you, including food and accommodation, and the salary will definitely satisfy you."

"Go to Beijing? A new job?"

Upon hearing Jiang Tao’s words, Tian Xiaoguang felt a bit uneasy.

He’s lived more than fifty years and has rarely left Ping County.

The thought of suddenly uprooting and moving hundreds of kilometers away to Beijing made him a bit nervous.

"Yes, the new job I’m arranging for you two isn’t hard, and both you and Aunt can definitely handle it."

"Moreover, this task needs someone I can completely trust to handle it."

"After thinking it over, you and Aunt are the most suitable."

"In the future, my parents will also be staying in Beijing permanently."

"If you come, our big family can look out for each other too..."

"Uncle, think it over in the next few days, and discuss it with Aunt too. Personally, I really hope you can come to Beijing to help me."

"As for the benefits..."

Jiang Tao spoke with sincerity over the phone.

The benefits he offered were beyond Tian Xiaoguang’s wildest dreams!

Free room and board, social security and housing fund in Beijing, and a monthly salary of 10,000!

"Xiao Tao, I’ve got no objections; you know this is an act of support for your uncle."

"I’ll discuss it with your Aunt Mingrong when I go back tonight."

"I think she probably wouldn’t have any objections either."

Tian Xiaoguang, who had been single for most of his life, now had a companion.

Before deciding to work and live in Beijing, he would definitely need to discuss it with Tian Mingrong.

"Alright, then I’ll wait for your good news. There’s no rush with this matter; sell the cattle at the farm first."

"Don’t worry, Xiao Tao; I’ll handle this matter for you, and there definitely won’t be any problems."

"I’m completely confident in you, Uncle. Oh, and I’ll send you 3,000 yuan shortly."

"Get in touch with my father-in-law and Liu Zhiyuan; have a nice dinner together tonight."

"I can’t make it back from Beijing, so you organize it."

"No need to send money; your uncle is well off and will cover the dinner."

"Don’t worry about it, Uncle. Save your money for the wedding. If it’s not enough, tell me, and I’ll support you."

Jiang Tao’s words were sincere.

That special task during the New Year [to continue the family line] had earned him a million.

He was willing to spend some of it to help his uncle get married.

"No need, no need. Your Aunt Mingrong values me as a person and nothing else, haha..."

"Hahaha, Uncle, you’ve got quite the charm!"

"But, the wedding should still be held. Pick an auspicious date, and I’ll handle it for you!"

"Don’t worry about the expenses; no matter how much it costs, I’ll cover it."

"You rascal..."

Hearing his nephew’s words, Tian Xiaoguang’s eyes instantly welled up, deeply moved by Jiang Tao’s words.

The two chatted for about ten minutes, discussing the important matters before moving on to small talk, finally ending the call.

Less than 10 seconds after hanging up, Tian Xiaoguang received a 3,000 yuan transfer from Jiang Tao on his phone.

Tian Xiaoguang, not one to stand on ceremony with his nephew, simply accepted the payment.

Ring ring—

Just after hanging up with Jiang Tao, his phone rang again.

The caller ID showed just one character—"Rong."

"Hello, Xiao Rong."

As Tian Xiaoguang swiped to answer the call, a knowing smile appeared on his face.

"You’ve arrived outside the cattle farm, huh? Alright, I’m done, and I’ll be out soon."

"Oh, Xiao Rong, tonight I’m thinking of inviting Xiao Liu, Xiao Dan, and Xiao Tao’s father-in-law for a meal..."

While chatting with Tian Mingrong over the phone, Tian Xiaoguang walked out of the office, locked the door, and hurriedly headed toward the main gate.

Outside the cattle farm, Tian Xiaoguang saw an old-fashioned tricycle parked at the entrance.

Inside, Tian Mingrong spotted him and waved with a cheerful smile as he came out.

"Brother Guang."

"Xiao Rong."

The moment Tian Xiaoguang saw Tian Mingrong, a feeling of happiness welled up inside him.

Tian Mingrong was also from Tian Family Manor, and around the same age as Tian Xiaoguang; they had been friends since childhood.

However, after graduating from middle school, Tian Xiaoguang joined the workforce.

Tian Mingrong, on the other hand, succeeded in getting into the county’s high school.

From that point, their life paths diverged, heading in different directions.

For decades, Tian Xiaoguang struggled at the bottom, living a hard life, single for most of his life.

Tian Mingrong went through two marriages; her first husband died in a car accident, and she divorced the second due to infidelity.

After experiencing two failed marriages, Tian Mingrong originally thought she wouldn’t believe in love again.

Running a lottery shop alone, earning three to four thousand yuan a month without any worries about living, she lived quite freely.

Until, by chance, she met Tian Xiaoguang.

In fact, they hadn’t seen each other for more than ten years.

But as soon as they met, they recognized each other immediately.

The long-forgotten beautiful childhood memories suddenly came back to life.
