The performance of *Nezha 2* on its first day of release yesterday was very strong.
This animated film, whether in terms of plot or production, is undeniably the best of its kind.
According to reports, many of the special effects techniques used in the movie far surpass those of previous Hollywood blockbusters.
No wonder Brother Tao predicted that this movie would be a huge hit.
The prices of its peripheral products have also skyrocketed.
The movie not only features breathtaking special effects shots that burn through more than 8 million per second,
but also deeply moving emotional bonds between mother and son, father and son, and master and disciple.
During the viewing process, whether you are a father, a mother, or a child,
you can find resonance with specific plot points in the movie, which are profoundly touching.
Jiang Xue and Jiang Bing have already watched it once, and this time was their second viewing, yet they still cried their eyes out.
Even Jiang Tao, a tough guy, was moved by the father-son bond between Li Jing and Nezha in the movie.
The movie lasted over two hours, and by the time they returned to Jiang Family Village, it was around 8 p.m.
Dinner was, as usual, mooched at Mom's place.
Every year during the Spring Festival, Jiang Tao and Xu Li rarely cook, always going to their parents' house for meals.
The old couple is happy to have the family of three over, always saying it's livelier with more people.
The elderly couple also feels for their son and wants to spend more time with his family.
After all, Jiang Tao, who drives a truck in Beijing, rarely gets such a long vacation at home.
During dinner, only the two nephews from Big Brother's side came over.
Big Brother got home from work after 6 p.m., ate a little, and went to bed.
Big Sister-in-law wasn't feeling well and had no appetite, so she didn't come.
After dinner, Dad took Old Sun to play chess with the neighbor, Jiang Tianming.
Jiang Tao, on the other hand, said a quick word to Xu Li and took his two nephews out.
Each nephew carried a shovel, following behind him like the two guardian generals, Hum and Ha.
In no time, the three of them left the village and arrived at the fields outside.
"Second Uncle, what are we doing here?"
Jiang Shijie, seeing his second uncle leading him and his younger brother to the wilderness, where there were even some graves by the roadside, felt a bit uneasy.
"Less nonsense. Do what I tell you to do, and if you do it well, I'll give each of you a big red envelope."
Times have changed, and Jiang Tao has learned to delegate and save effort.
He directly recruited two reliable helpers to dig for him.
As for keeping it a secret…
It's actually quite simple.
Jiang Tao only shared partial information with his nephews, not the whole story.
In the end, the two nephews wouldn't even know what they dug up, so they couldn't leak anything even if they wanted to.
Bringing the two nephews along was the result of Jiang Tao's careful consideration.
It had only been less than a month since he bound the Daily Intelligence System, and he had already earned a fortune of over a million through various pieces of information.
After the New Year, when he goes to Beijing and resolves the Mercedes-Benz "return one, compensate three" issue, another large sum of cash will come in.
At this rate, Jiang Tao felt that, in the future, even if he didn't reach a small goal of 100 million, earning tens of millions was easily achievable.
When his net worth reaches tens of millions in the near future,
if the intelligence system refreshes with information like the one about an iced tea bottle cap that could be scanned to win an iPhone, discarded in a trash can,
or a down jacket in a garbage bin containing a women's watch worth a certain amount,
would he go pick it up or not?
If he did, a multimillionaire rummaging through trash cans?
If he didn't, wasting information worth thousands or even tens of thousands would be a pity.
In recent days, Jiang Tao had been considering whether to form his own small team.
As for the team members, they would definitely have to be completely trustworthy.
Bringing his two nephews out today was also a bit of an experiment to test the waters.
The three of them trudged through the fields and soon arrived at the ancestral grave, which they had just visited yesterday.
"S-Second Uncle, we're not here to rob a tomb, are we?"
The younger nephew, Jiang Shaojie, lit up at the thought, suddenly feeling a thrill!
"Rob your grandpa's tomb! Our poor ancestors—how much loot could they possibly have?"
Jiang Tao laughed and gave the younger nephew a playful knock on the head, then turned his gaze to the entire field.
In his vision, a faint golden glow emanated from a corner in the southwest of the field.
"Come on, follow me over here."
Jiang Tao led the two nephews to the spot where the golden light shimmered and pointed to the ground. "Start digging."
Hearing their second uncle's words, the brothers didn't hesitate and began digging.
Ever since Jiang Tao saved them from the icy gates of death last time, the brothers had immense respect for their second uncle.
Let alone digging a pit, even if Jiang Tao told them to jump into the pit after digging it, they wouldn't hesitate!
Not having to do the work himself, Jiang Tao enjoyed a rare moment of leisure, smoking a cigarette on the side while saying,
"You two dig well. A few years ago, your second uncle buried something in this field, and now it's time to take it out."
"If you two can help me dig it up tonight, I'll reward each of you with 1,000 yuan for pocket money."
"Thank you, Second Uncle!"
"Thank you, Second Uncle!"
The two naive boys, hearing they could earn 1,000 yuan just for digging a pit, were thrilled and dug even harder!
Especially Jiang Shijie, who had recently started dating and needed money to keep up.
He couldn't always let his girlfriend pay, could he?
The brothers didn't doubt Jiang Tao's words, genuinely believing he had buried something years ago.
After all, Second Uncle even pointed out the exact spot—how could he be making it up?
*Clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang—*
Dirt flew as shovel after shovel of yellow soil was tossed aside, soon piling up into a small mound.
This plot of land had been used by Jiang Tao's parents to grow sweet potatoes last year. After the harvest, no wheat was planted, so the soil was soft.
Plus, this year in Ping County, it wasn't too cold, and the ground hadn't frozen much, making digging relatively easy.
In about half an hour, the brothers dug a circular pit about one and a half meters in diameter and one meter deep.
"Not deep enough. Keep digging."
In Jiang Tao's vision, the item was definitely in the pit, so he continued directing the nephews to dig.
The brothers kept at it for another half hour, increasing the depth by another meter, now deeper than their heads.
*Clang!!!*
Suddenly, Jiang Shaojie's shovel seemed to hit something, and the sound of breaking porcelain echoed from the pit.
"We hit something!"
Jiang Tao's eyes lit up at the sound from the pit.
"You two, come up. I'll take it from here."
The brothers shoveled a few footholds on one side of the pit and climbed out.
Jiang Tao jumped in and started digging without a word, soon unearthing a ceramic jar about the size of a small office trash can.
Holding it in his arms, it had some weight to it.
Jiang Tao noticed slight damage on the jar, likely caused by Jiang Shaojie's shovel just now.
Peering into the jar's opening, he saw, as expected, a pile of silver "Yuan Datou" coins!
Treasure hunt successful!
