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

Lu Weiguo watched Huang He's receding figure.

I sighed inwardly, thinking that this kid had caught a lucky break.

Five years ago, this kid wouldn't have made much money.

The price of gold worldwide has been controlled by the US dollar.

Around 1975, a gram of gold cost only seven or eight yuan, but after 1977, the price of gold suddenly rose to nearly seventy yuan.

The gold from the Russians isn't pure enough.

One gram can sell for nearly fifty yuan.

He has a huge bag of them.

Even if this kid takes a bribe, he can still make a fortune right away.

However, how much Lu Weiguo wants to give him depends on the kid's performance.

If the amount received is small.

We'll get rich together then.

Having someone around to run errands is always better than having to do it yourself!

But what if this kid doesn't understand?

This great opportunity was missed.

There was still plenty of time.

Lu Weiguo strolled around the county.

We're building a house, and we've pretty much got everything ready.

The clothes and food for my wife and children have also improved significantly.

But having experienced the later generations, I still feel it's not enough.

His children are his lifeblood; he can never have too much of a good life.

In those days, children didn't have many toys.

Most of them are handmade by locals.

For example, a tricycle, or a small sled.

As for Li Xiulian, she will wait until Erbao and Jiahuan stop nighttime breastfeeding.

Two women were there to look after the children.

He also plans to have his wife start studying to prepare for the college entrance examination.

The college entrance examination was reinstated in 1978.

For the first three years, those who are over the age limit are allowed to take the exam.

Therefore, Li Xiulian only has three years to go.

If you miss this opportunity, you'll truly miss out on a great time!

It should be noted that the value of a college degree in that era was not as high as that of a graduate or doctoral degree in later generations.

It's almost fair to say that the leading cadres back then, as well as those who started their businesses, were all from that same group of people!

I bought two small iron tricycles from the black market, one for the eldest and one for the second!

I packed the things and put them on the back of my bicycle before heading to the library.

There weren't many people in the library.

There were a few young men and women dressed like artsy types, holding a handful of rare foreign classics.

They pretended to explain things to each other.

"Hello, what would you like to buy?"

Lu Weiguo had just entered the house.

A man wearing a dark green jacket and a uniform, and wearing glasses.

A waiter who looked like a student walked over.

"Do you have any self-study books for math, physics, and chemistry?"

Lu Weiguo repeated the name from memory.

"Um?"

Upon hearing this, the group of artsy young people immediately looked over.

"Yes, but there aren't many left. I'll go look for them."

Being a library clerk is a respectable job.

They are also employed under a formal staffing system.

This attitude is quite good.

However, those artsy young people immediately huddled together, constantly stealing glances at Lu Weiguo.

The implication was that Lu Weiguo, with his attire and mannerisms, was a country bumpkin.

They shouldn't be defiled, this sacred place for reading.

There are literary and artistic youths in every era.

And there were even more in later generations.

Especially Xiaohongshu, it's practically a gathering place for that group of people.

Lu Weiguo didn't care.

I wandered around the library alone.

In the 1980s, the exam in Northeast China was in Russian, with English being an optional subject, but it did not count towards the exam score.

However, mastering Russian was extremely beneficial for developing one's career in Northeast China before the 1990s.

strolling to

In addition, I also took two Russian books to study on my own.

I also picked up a Russian version of How the Steel Was Tempered.

"You're still reading Russian? Can you even understand it?"

"You country bumpkin, if you're not going to buy, don't touch it. What are you trying to do, putting on airs to get our attention?"

Lu Weiguo had just placed those books on the counter.

They were stunned when they heard this.

From the moment he entered until now, he hasn't even glanced at those people.

I'm afraid there will be some embarrassing moments where I try to show off but end up being proven wrong.

But why are these people still so eager to do it?

Does the whole world have to revolve around them?

Are you all out of your minds?

Or should I pretend to be an old lady and get into bed?

Lu Weiguo's words completely stunned the group of artsy young people.

What's this thing called "old lady crawling into bed"?

They're not old ladies.

"This is fucking hilarious! A bunch of toads, they don't bite, but they're disgusting!"

"you!!"

These artsy types wanted to curse, but because they were too proud of themselves, they couldn't bring themselves to say the words.

After hesitating for a while, he finally blurted out, "Who are you talking about?"

"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell, or is your mind not working properly?"

Lu Weiguo was amused upon hearing this, especially considering the many years since his rebirth.

He has never fought such a rich battle before!

"Who are you calling mentally ill! You're just a country bumpkin, what do you know? You've been secretly eyeing us since you walked in, you're definitely up to no good!"

"Hidden motives?" Lu Weiguo almost laughed out loud.

"What's wrong? Are you tadpoles showing off to frogs, or are you showing off to your mother?" Lu Weiguo stepped forward, his strong physique pressing down on the group like a mountain.

"You all look so bearish, you're not even as human as the bear cub from our village!"

It's like you've stuck chicken feathers on a bat. What are you pretending to be?

And you! You're the same thickness from top to bottom, chest to back. If you cover your head, I can't even tell the front from the back. What am I supposed to see in you?

Do you think you're as smooth as a main road? Or do you think you're strangely shaped?

"Waaaaah... Who are you calling weird-looking? Waaaaah..." Lu Weiguo hadn't even had a chance to use his skills yet.

He made those two young women cry right away.

The three bodyguards beside her were about to make a move.

But after looking at Lu Weiguo's physique, she said quietly, "A gentleman uses words, not fists!"

At this moment, a woman who had been looking for books at the back of the house hurriedly walked over, saying as she went.

"Comrade, this is a bookstore, you can't make a lot of noise here."

"What's it to you! Why are you telling us what to do?!"

Don't be fooled by those few protectors who dare not hit Lu Weiguo.

He vented all his anger on the woman.

Without saying a word, he waved his hand to push the woman away!

"Alas! A gentleman uses words, not fists, isn't that what you said?"

Lu Weiguo reacted quickly and grabbed the bespectacled man's arm.

Then he stepped to the side and blocked the female administrator's path.

"You! How come you're everywhere?"

"No! It's not that I'm everywhere, it's that you're not welcome here," Lu Weiguo said, squinting.

Those artsy young people realized they couldn't win a fight, and they couldn't even bring themselves to curse.

They glanced at each other and said, "You wait!"

She jogged out of the library.

After the others left, Lu Weiguo turned around and said an apology.

After all, this is their territory, and this is tantamount to driving away their business.

"I should thank them... They've been here for a long time, always looking down on people who buy books."

The female administrator lowered her head and adjusted her glasses.

She dared not look up at Lu Weiguo.

"That's good. I'm glad it didn't bother you. Also, let's calculate the total cost of these books."

Lu Weiguo pointed to several books on the counter.

"Um... thank you anyway..."

The female administrator was a little shy. "You...you're preparing for university entrance exams? I still have some of my old notes, do you want them?"
