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

"Daddy! Daddy! Daddy!!"

The four-year-old boy was already showing signs of shyness.

The one-year-old daughter only knew how good her father was, disregarding everything else, and expressed her love for him to the fullest.

"Oh, my dear daughter!"

The previous displeasure vanished instantly.

Looking at his adorable daughter, Lu Weiguo stepped forward and hugged Jia Huan tightly in his arms.

Face to face, he wished he could tie his daughter to himself and never be separated again.

A sage once said that a daughter is her father's lover from a past life, and is the most standard image of a "lover" in a man's fantasy!

Only a daughter's love and attachment are truly selfless.

In Lu Weiguo's view, this statement was absolutely true!

"Little traitor."

As Li Xiulian sorted through the hazel mushrooms in her basket, she held her dejected son in her arms.

Upon hearing this, Lu Weiguo turned around and noticed Jia Cheng's condition.

Without saying a word, he bent down again and hugged Jia Cheng in his arms.

"Giggle~~ It's so itchy."

This time, both children showed happy smiles.

This is how it should be done for families with two children.

As long as the parents can treat both children equally, the older sibling will naturally take good care of the younger sister.

"Don't bother, I'll cook lunch. Just leave the hazel mushrooms there. I'll take Jiacheng to cook this afternoon."

"No need, you've already gone up the mountain, spend some time with the children." Li Xiulian's heart softened as she looked at the father and son playing.

"I'm not tired. From now on, as long as I'm home, you don't need to cook. Your hands are for holding pens, not for doing housework." With that, Lu Weiguo put the child down.

He gently wrapped his arm around Li Xiulian's waist and lightly pinched her flat stomach.

"Ugh~"

It feels like I ate a piece of candy; my mouth tastes sweet.

Li Xiulian twisted her waist and broke free from Lu Weiguo's embrace.

However, this ordinary behavior between the couple almost made Lu Weiguo lose his footing!

He quickly shifted his attention and began to butcher the silly roe deer with a knife.

"Keep this meat for your parents. It's not winter yet, and meat won't keep well. Pick a time as soon as possible, and I'll go home with you to see your parents."

Li Xiulian was in the kitchen with her two children in her arms when she heard this, and nodded.

This time, Li Xiulian felt like she was eating honey, not candy—sweet but not cloying. Lu Weiguo had completely captured her heart.

The meat of the roe deer is actually not very tasty. Compared to pork, which is full of fat and oil, roe deer meat can be described as unpalatable.

This is also why pigs were deified in this era.

Pork is fattier than beef and more fragrant than mutton; it was the most expensive type of meat in this era.

But for Lu Weiguo, as long as he has good skills, he can make roe deer meat taste sweet, smooth, refreshing and soothing.

Place the half-castrated roe deer ribs in a pot and boil them directly in water until cooked.

The roe deer rib soup, after skimming off the foam, was so clear you could see the bottom.

Li Xiulian went to Aunt Wang's place and traded half a pound of roe deer meat for scallions and a few other ingredients.

There's no need to deep-fry it. Just crush a few ingredients like chili peppers and black pepper, add a little roe deer broth, and you have the perfect sauce to accompany roe deer ribs.

This is the same method used to make dog meat sauce when eating dog meat.

The original soup is transformed into original food.

This combination not only enriches the texture of the roe deer meat, but also makes it easier to digest and absorb.

Next, mince the roe deer thigh meat together with scallions and add a little flour.

Roll the meatballs into small balls and drop them into the roe deer rib soup. A bowl of top-notch roe deer meatball soup is ready.

"Jiacheng, is it delicious?"

"So delicious~~ Daddy's the best~~"

After two delicious meals, Li Xiulian gained another little traitor.

This time, Lu Weiguo joined them at the table for dinner.

As for wild rabbit meat, Lu Weiguo in his previous life could occasionally eat it, so it wasn't anything special.

Roe deer, a type of wild game, was considered a top delicacy in my previous life. While it might not be lacking in forest areas, fresh roe deer meat was not something you could buy with money in the city.

After all, the appeal of this stuff is its freshness!

After lunch, the two children quickly took a nap.

Children in this era lacked nutrition and relied entirely on sleep for development, unlike children in later generations who were overnourished. Putting a child to sleep was like Sun Wukong's journey to the West.

Eat and then sleep, sleep and then eat.

People these days can look after five or six children without feeling tired.

Even taking care of a child in later generations feels incredibly exhausting.

"Stop fooling around, it's broad daylight, keep your hands to yourself!"

Roe deer are a type of deer, and eating half a pound of roe deer meat is more effective than taking a Viagra pill.

"Honey, I just saw you were too tired. This thing is so heavy, so I wanted to help you carry it."

Li Xiulian's ears were as red as crystal; she wanted to keep Lu Weiguo around for a few more days.

Who would have thought that Lu Weiguo could be so shameless as to come up with such a flimsy excuse?

"I don't need you to share the burden, where were you before? Don't try to be a jerk to me!"

"Wife, something's wrong with you. Are you looking down on me for being uneducated?" Lu Weiguo's expression changed, and he continued:

"Then why are cultured people called romantic, while I'm labeled a hooligan? Besides, I'm licensed to do this, so even if you complain to the highest heavens, it won't do you any good."

Powerful, fiery!

It also has a touch of roguishness.

Li Xiulian was filled with conflicting emotions. Everyone says that people are like wolves at thirty and tigers at forty.

Little did they know, the young woman in her twenties hadn't experienced anything like this in over a year.

I'm itching to try it too.

In the morning, she was thinking about how to discipline Lu Weiguo, that little wolf, but now she was afraid that Lu Weiguo, who had just become a little better, would go back to the gambling table because she refused.

I just can't bring myself to say no.

I could only reluctantly agree...

It took two hours of fumbling around.

Once the child woke up, Lu Weiguo was finally refreshed and let Li Xiulian go.

"Cool!!!"

Lu Weiguo shouted in his heart.

Li Xiulian rolled her eyes at Lu Weiguo, hurriedly put on her red bellyband, put on her coat, and limped back to the main house.

The entire afternoon was spent by Lu Weiguo and Jia Cheng collecting the hazel mushrooms they had gathered.

"Jiacheng is great! He knows how to help his dad with chores now. He's a little man now."

Having lived two lives, although he had no children in his previous life, his own experiences taught him that educating children cannot be done by simply suppressing them.

Only praise can help children improve and develop the habit of taking care of the family.

Boys, in particular, should spend more time with their fathers from a young age to grow into real men!

A child's character can be seen from their early childhood; habits formed in childhood determine a child's personality, and personality is the key to changing one's destiny.

Sure enough, Jia Cheng smiled sweeter than if he had eaten honey after being praised.

He patted his chest and promised to take good care of his mother and sister.

We didn't have meat for dinner; instead, we had rice soaked in roe deer broth.

Liu Xiulian watched Lu Weiguo teaching Jia Huan how to eat by himself and cautiously asked, "Could you take me back to my parents' home tomorrow?"

She originally planned to stay with Lu Weiguo for a few more days before going back.

But such good roe deer meat will spoil in less than two days if it's not delivered in time.

"Okay." Lu Weiguo nodded in agreement. "Then we'll make a bigger fire tonight and try to dry the hazel mushrooms as much as possible. I'll cut off two ribs and go find Uncle Niu to borrow his oxcart."

"No need! We can walk there..."

The oxcart belonged to the government, and Li Xiulian hurriedly refused, afraid of causing trouble for Lu Weiguo.

"It's over ten kilometers! How could I bear to let you three walk all the way to the county town!"
