Rebirth 78: Hunting for Treasure in the Mountains, Spoiling My Wife and Daughter to the Heavens

"Xiao Lu, you must be tired. Your face is all red. You've worked hard. Come and have some fruit and take a rest."

Lu Weiguo walked out of the room with a flushed face.

Outside, Zhao's mother and Zhao Jiaying stood guard at the door, holding fruit, looking extremely grateful.

They can handle anything, no matter how big the problem is, but they can't handle things related to their children.

The child kept crying, refusing to eat or drink, and even the doctor couldn't help.

To everyone's surprise, Lu Weiguo arrived in just over an hour.

The child is sleeping soundly.

Even the eldest daughter, who had been crying for days, smiled.

"Auntie, you don't need to bother anymore. I have to go out for a bit. It's my fault, I had promised to come often."

Lu Weiguo took a banana and put it in his pocket.

"What's the rush? You men, I don't know what's wrong with my husband, he just leaves as soon as the baby stops crying."

"You're in such a hurry to leave? Why don't you have a meal at home before you go?"

Zhao's mother grabbed Lu Weiguo's arm, preventing him from leaving.

She was not only treating the child with courtesy, but she was also afraid that the child would continue to cry after waking up.

The job of looking after children is easier for the poorest people.

The better the conditions, the more you have to consider, and the more difficult it becomes.

"Auntie, I really have something to do. My wife wants me to go to her mother's house, and it's not like I'm not coming back."

I made plans with Uncle Zhao to come over for dinner tonight.

"Of course we should go!" Hearing that they were coming back, Zhao's mother let go of their grip. "Jiaying, there are still bicycles at home. Your sister doesn't need hers anymore. Go and bring them out for Weiguo."

Having a bicycle makes things convenient in the city.

Bicycle, chain and key.

Zhao's mother handed everything over to Lu Weiguo, although she did not say it explicitly.

But it's basically equivalent to giving it to Lu Weiguo.

"Mom, I want to ride again."

"Why are you riding that! You're not even grown up yet. I'll buy you one when you need it!"

Zhao's mother looked at Zhao Jiaying with a blank expression.

Anyone who lived through that era knows that there were no bicycles in rural areas because tickets were hard to come by.

But in this county town, almost everyone owns a bicycle.

They're everywhere; for the Zhao family, they're really nothing special.

"Jiaying, I'll just use it for a bit, I'll return it to you in a few days."

This time, instead of taking an oxcart, a bicycle was much more convenient, so Lu Weiguo didn't refuse.

Leaving the Zhao family, one could say they returned with a full load.

Besides a bicycle, there was also a large bag of fruit.

It's winter, and if you want to eat fresh fruit, apart from special supplies, even the supply and marketing cooperatives don't have it.

Lu Weiguo rode his bicycle at incredible speed.

Before long, we arrived at my mother-in-law's house.

This time, Li Xiuhe wasn't home; Li Guangrong was playing chess with his neighbors at the door.

Wu Guifen was using a slingshot to shoot at the dog's head painted on the wall in the courtyard!

This is the difference between raising a daughter and raising a son.

After retiring, the elderly couple had enough money and their financial burden was not heavy.

They've long been living a leisurely life.

"Dad, Mom, I'm here!"

Lu Weiguo was incredibly affectionate towards his mother-in-law.

On the other hand, the mother-in-law, upon seeing Lu Weiguo, looked directly behind him and, seeing that she was the only one there, said quietly.

"Just you? The kids didn't come with you."

There's definitely a saying about how much grandparents love their grandchildren, but even sons-in-law don't seem to care anymore.

"The child is at home. I came to the county town on some business and thought I'd drop by to see you."

Lu Weiguo ignored everything else and directly straddled Wu Guifen's arm.

"Get out of here! You never do anything good when you act like this. What trouble have you gotten yourself into?"

You want me to clean up your mess? I'm telling you, don't cause me any trouble!

Wu Guifen put away her homemade slingshot, which she had treasured for a long time.

"I just love getting into trouble, hehe. I just came to see you. Here's some fruit."

Taking out some fruit, Lu Weiguo pulled the old lady into the house.

Upon seeing such precious and fresh fruit, Wu Guifen dared not touch it.

Send some meat, and you can trick them into giving you two guns.

This is fruit, which is even more valuable than meat. Does he want a tank?

"Mom has washed everything, go ahead and eat."

Once inside, the two stared at each other blankly.

"I wouldn't dare eat that! You tell me what you want to do first!"

"Mom, just eat it, it's really nothing!!" Lu Weiguo said, both amused and exasperated.

He spread his hands and pulled four cans of oil out of his backpack.

"Mom, it's nothing else. I just got some pine nut oil and walnut oil that we agreed on beforehand, it was all planned out!"

"Oh?" Wu Guifen relaxed when she saw the pine nut oil.

Invite your old man into the house to eat bananas.

"It's just this little thing, Mom. I want you to help me expand the sales channels. Here's what I'll do: I'll fry you an egg first, and you can try it and see if you notice any difference."

Lu Weiguo got up and opened the jar.

Instantly, the sweet fragrance of pine nuts filled the entire room.

It completely masked the sweetness of the fruit.

Wu Guifen and the other woman twitched their noses, their eyes instantly lighting up!

"It smells so good?"

"It's not only fragrant! The texture is even better, you two should try it later!!"

Heat oil in a pan and crack in the eggs.

With Dr. Zila's voice, the two old people in the room were practically drooling.

Lu Weiguo squinted, a smile curving his face.

This person clearly has no experience of being scammed. If this were in later generations, they would definitely be a major force among those who go to collect eggs and get tricked into buying health products.

"Mom, this pine nut oil is made entirely from pressed pine nuts. It tastes delicious, has a wonderful aroma, and a smooth texture, but those aren't the most important things."

Importantly, it's highly nutritious and easily digestible, making it especially beneficial for children.

You wouldn't believe it, but children have sensitive stomachs, so you need to change the cooking oil frequently to make it easier for them to digest.

"What about the elderly?"

Wu Guifen sniffed and asked.

"That would be even better! It'll boost your energy, improve brain function, and prevent Alzheimer's—that's preventing you from becoming stupid!!"

Lu Weiguo didn't care about anything else, but Kuku just kept praising him!

The two elderly people looked at those four bottles of oil like they were precious treasures!

"That sounds great, I'll try it."

As soon as the two fried eggs were served, the two elderly people couldn't wait any longer.

They don't even use chopsticks; they just hold an egg between two fingers and stuff it directly into their mouths.

Both of them were scalded and sizzled, but they were reluctant to spit it out.

When they could swallow it, the two closed their eyes, feeling incredibly happy.

Lu Weiguo pursed his lips, forcibly suppressing his smile!

Pine nut oil is still oil; it just smells different, but in reality, there's no difference when it comes to cooking.

All that talk about a smooth texture and easy digestibility is nonsense.

Under temperatures of 400-500 degrees Celsius, everything is the same.

It does contain some nutrients, but not much.

But after being praised by Lu Weiguo, she developed a preconceived notion...

The taste is completely different!!

"It smells amazing!!! It smells fucking amazing!!!"

After finishing his meal, Li Guangrong licked his lips.

"It's really different. My son-in-law is quite something, knowing this before. How come I never noticed?"

Although Wu Guifen was cunning and shrewd, she was still completely fooled by Lu Weiguo's flattery.

"So, Mom, could you help me sell them? They're good for both the elderly and children, and this jar only costs twenty yuan, no coupons needed."

"It's really not expensive, Mom. Twenty yuan is the cost price. As for how much you sell it for, I don't care."
