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

"Notes? You're taking the test too?"

Lu Weiguo curiously sized up the young administrator, who presented herself as a model student, petite in stature and with a youthful face.

"Yes, I've been preparing for a long time. I didn't do well applying last year, so this year I want to apply to Shanghai."

Only after the junior administrator spoke did he dare to look up at Lu Weiguo.

Because she only reached Lu Weiguo's chin, and the two were quite close, she could see Lu Weiguo's large nostrils as soon as she looked up.

Suddenly, I remembered something a good friend once said: if a man has big nostrils, it means he's strong in certain areas. My face flushed red, and I lowered my head shyly.

"Oh, Shanghai is great. It's developing rapidly, almost catching up with Harbin, and it's only going to get better and better." Lu Weiguo was very pleased with his choice of Shanghai.

Then he added, "I'm not taking the exam. They're right, I'm just a country bumpkin. But my wife wants to take it."

I'm here to buy her some books.

"Your wife, your wife is so lucky. My name is Meng Fanjiao, but everyone calls me Jiaojiao. If your wife has any issues she needs to discuss..."

You should have her come to me. After all, I've taken the exam once, so I have some experience.

"I... I'm getting pretty bored minding the shop by myself here."

For some reason, Meng Fanjiao particularly wanted to be in contact with the man in front of her.

Although she knew he had a wife, he was the only man who had ever protected her.

"Thank you very much. My wife has no experience taking the exam, so we should discuss it more with you. That way, she won't be nervous when she goes to the exam hall."

As the two chatted, Meng Fanjiao didn't care whether Lu Weiguo bought anything or not, and just kept giving him reference books for studying.

"This, this, and this dictionary—I need them all for studying. They've changed the meanings of quite a few words this year..."

"Fine, then just give it to me all at once."

Lu Weiguo never skimped on money when it came to buying books.

It was the same in my past life; I bought books but didn't read them much, just for peace of mind.

I feel satisfied once I buy it; it's like I've already done my best.

Xinhua Dictionary costs 1.3 yuan.

The price of the dictionary is 28.9 yuan.

How Steel Is Made (1.85 yuan)

The self-study series on mathematics, physics, and chemistry costs 1.21 yuan.

At that time, books were priced according to paper, binding, and number of pages.

In addition to those two self-study books by the old Russians.

It cost a total of thirty-five yuan and thirty-eight cents.

This is equivalent to a senior worker's monthly salary.

After Meng Fanjiao finished calculating the money, she realized that what she had done might not have been a good thing.

Holding those dictionary books she recommended, I was too embarrassed to look up.

"It's okay, I need all of these books. I don't mind buying books for my wife."

"Ah." Meng Fanjiao became increasingly embarrassed, focusing only on putting the book into the paper bag.

Lu Weiguo paid and left.

Only then did Meng Fanjiao dare to raise her head and call out to Lu Weiguo's retreating figure, "I'll wait for you... I'll wait for you to bring your sister-in-law..."

. . . . .

"Meng Fanjiao? That name sounds familiar; I think I've seen it in some economics magazine before."

Lu Weiguo heard the voice but did not turn around.

I'm just recalling this name.

"Forget it, I'll stop thinking about it. Let's help that starving bastard Zhang Benmo first."

Lu Weiguo pushed the cart to the entrance of the county committee compound and squatted down on the ground.

Actually, Zhang Benmo's problem is easy to solve.

For ordinary people, murder is a capital offense, punishable by death!

But for those people mentioned above, they were simply victims of "integrity".

When someone dies, who killed them is both important and unimportant.

The important question is, whose side did the killing?

Therefore, Zhang Benmo's life or death depends entirely on whether Zhao Kaishan can win this struggle.

He doesn't remember how he won this battle in his previous life.

After all, he was already in the deep forests of the Xing'an Mountains, learning to hunt from the mountain dogs.

All I remember is that the last official in charge was Zhao Kaishan.

That's enough!

As history slowly marches forward, he doesn't know if he can change it.

You could put an engine in this car.

Make this cycle roll faster.

It's still possible!

He thought a lot during this time.

If he himself can time travel, then are there other time travelers in this world?

But why hasn't history changed?

The Way of Heaven has its own inherent trajectory.

Perhaps all a time traveler can do is to push this trajectory forward!

As a great man once said, "Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun!"

Therefore, the first step must be taken at the police station!

Lu Weiguo used a twig to draw future development plans on the ground, bit by bit.

His thoughts became increasingly clear.

He didn't realize it until the sun had set.

Until, a surprised exclamation came from the people behind him!

"who!"

Lu Weiguo was so focused that he didn't even notice someone behind him.

"It's me, don't be nervous."

Zhao Kaishan's voice was filled with shock.

The way she looked at Lu Weiguo changed from how she treated a junior to admiration, and finally even a hint of respect.

"Uncle Zhao, when did you get here? Why didn't you call me? You startled me!"

Lu Weiguo stood up, greeted them with a smile, and at the same time turned his back and secretly wiped the planning map he had written on the ground with his foot.

"Stop erasing it! You've already written it, are you afraid someone will see it?"

Zhao Kaishan stepped forward and grabbed Lu Weiguo's arm.

But how could his strength compare to Lu Weiguo's, who was arm wrestling with Black Bear!

"Uncle Zhao, stop joking. I was just writing this for fun. You should understand that the more you know about certain things, the faster you'll die."

"Wei Guo, in your heart, is this the kind of person your Uncle Zhao is?"

Seeing that he couldn't stop Lu Weiguo, Zhao Kaishan's eyes showed a hint of reproach.

"What kind of person are you? Are you someone who can't even protect your family for the sake of your 'honest' career?"

The conversation, which should have taken place in the evening, was moved here by him.

Upon hearing this...

Zhao Kaishan stopped stopping Lu Weiguo from rubbing his feet on the ground.

He took a step back, his gaze shifting constantly, finally narrowing his eyes as he looked at Lu Weiguo, exuding an imposing aura.

"No, Uncle Zhao, you're my elder, please don't look at me like that."

Now it's just the two of us, so you can just ask me anything you want to say.

"What do you know?" Zhao Kaishan's voice was icy.

"You know it, I know it, Zhang Benmo didn't kill anyone, that's a fact, and respecting the facts is the right thing to do."

"What's the use of knowing the truth? Everything depends on the investigation. Besides, I had no choice; some things aren't as simple as you think..."

Before Zhao Kaishan could finish speaking, Lu Weiguo scoffed.

"Forced to do it? Are you trying to say that everything should be done with the bigger picture in mind?"

Is this the reason you came up with?

This time, for the sake of the greater good, you abandoned your son-in-law, you abandoned the truth?

What if you encounter another unavoidable situation next time?

All corruption, all betrayal of the Party and the people, begins with acts of desperation!

You can't even uphold the truth!

How dare you talk about anything else?!

Lu Weiguo became more and more excited as he spoke.

Zhao Kaishan's face grew darker and darker as he listened.

"Alright, alright! Stop cursing, stop cursing! You've had your fill of cursing!!"

Come on, come on, I'll listen to you, I'll listen to you, okay?!
