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

How could I bear to let you three walk to the county town?

Lu Weiguo's completely unintentional words instantly brought tears to Li Xiulian's eyes.

Watching Lu Weiguo's departing figure.

Li Xiulian burst into tears.

In all the years she's been married to Lu Weiguo, she's never used an oxcart to visit her parents.

Previously, Lu Weiguo was young and shy. He had just started his own family and was independent, so he only knew how to make his own family suffer.

Sorry to bother the team.

Even in the dead of winter, when they return to their parents' home for the Lunar New Year, they have to brave the wind and snow and measure the distance to their parents' home on foot.

Later, Lu Weiguo completely ignored the mother and her two children.

She was the one who, holding Lu Jiacheng's hand and carrying Lu Jiahuan on her back, exchanged frostbite and blisters on her feet for the opportunity to see her parents.

But today...

"Mom, why are you crying? Did I eat too much?"

Lu Jiacheng jumped down from under the stool, thinking of his father's teachings that afternoon.

He reached out to wipe away Li Xiulian's tears.

"No~ Jia Cheng eats a lot, and Mom is happy. These are tears of happiness~"

. . . . .

the other side.

Lu Weiguo did not go directly to Niu Er's house, but went to Liu Dazhuang's house and called out Niu Dazhuang, who was only wearing underwear.

The Liu family has three young, beautiful daughters.

He didn't know whose turn it was to put on the pants.

Although people in this era don't care about these things.

Whenever the older women get together, they talk more openly than in pornographic books.

But since he has been reborn, it's best to avoid suspicion.

"What's wrong, Brother Weiguo? Why aren't you coming inside?"

Liu Dazhuang's mouth was greasy, and it was clear he had just finished preparing some wastewater.

"Go back and put on some pants, then come with me to find Uncle Niu."

Lu Weiguo glanced at Niu Dazhuang with disdain. Could this idiot really not see the hole in his underwear?

"Hehe, you're going to steal cow dung too?"

"Steal my ass! I'll find you a job!"

As soon as Lu Weiguo finished speaking, he saw a graceful body faintly visible in the moonlight.

With short hair and dressed like a tomboy, Liu Ermei stood in front of the gate, looking outside while wearing only a bellyband.

Those firm thighs, with every step they took, seemed to dance on Lu Weiguo's heart.

"Brother Weiguo? Why aren't you coming inside?"

Liu Ermei greeted Lu Weiguo without any hesitation.

Lu Weiguo was so frightened that he didn't even dare to respond.

Quickly, jog away!

Liu Ermei just turned eighteen this year!

How much of a beast must I be to have such wicked thoughts about this little brat!

Not long after.

Liu Dazhuang had just put on his floral pants when he found Lu Weiguo and his companion smoking.

Before I could even say hello, I could hear the two of them talking.

"Uncle Niu, what do you think of my suggestion? You're getting on in years, you need to find a successor."

This Dazhuang isn't good at anything else, but he can at least help you herd the cows and feed them grass, right?

And he didn't want anything else, he only wanted the cow droppings.

Niu Erliang is an elderly man in the village who takes care of the livestock.

Don't be fooled by the low pay; this job is lucrative!

In this day and age, who doesn't have minor illnesses like headaches or fevers, and who doesn't need to use an oxcart sometimes?

There's no need to alarm the main force; just give Niu Erliang some benefits directly.

While I was out feeding the cows, the matter was taken care of.

"What? You think you can steal my job with this little bit of roe deer meat?"

Niu Erliang wasn't stupid. This old man from the Lu family had just reformed, and now he was already showing respect for the elderly and caring for the young?

Even if the King of Heaven himself told him, he wouldn't believe it!

"Hehe, no way, I'm just helping out. I don't care about the work points at all. I'm just bringing you some labor."

Lu Weiguo looked around and saw that no one was around.

Then he continued in a low voice, "Uncle Niu, actually, it's like this: I've been picking mushrooms lately, and I was thinking of taking them to the county town to sell myself."

The purchasing agent came to collect mushrooms. A pound of dried mushrooms only cost one cent, but if you delivered them to the supply and marketing cooperative yourself, you could get three cents!

With the extra money I earn, I can buy more things to show my respect to you, can't I?

And that's only for this period of time. Once winter comes, Chun Chun will be helping you herd cattle.

Dazhuang and I are both kids you've watched grow up. We're not bad people, we just have a lot of strength.

"Now that we want to make some progress, we all need your support."

Appeal to their emotions and reason with them.

Moreover, some of the profits are being released.

Although the human touch in this era was much stronger than in later generations.

But without any tangible benefits in sight, no one is willing to help take the risk.

If he still doesn't understand this simple principle, then he's wasted his rebirth.

"Really? It's that simple?" Niu Erlian was already mostly convinced after hearing this.

"You don't believe me, but you don't believe this silly boy either!"

Lu Weiguo pulled Liu Dazhuang over, only to find that Liu Dazhuang, this mascot, was just grinning foolishly, without a trace of guile.

Hesitantly, he nodded.

"Alright, Dog Egg, I'll trust you for a little while. I don't need anything more. Just get me some good tobacco leaves every time you go to sell mushrooms."

However, if anything happens to this old ox, I'll skin him alive to make his coffin!

"Don't worry, Uncle Niu! I'll feed the cows first thing tomorrow morning."

"Get out of my way! You little rascal, you're really wicked. Only the three of us know about this, and no one else is allowed to tell, you hear me!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Weiguo nodded frantically.

After leaving Niu Er's house, Liu Dazhuang, the mascot, stared wide-eyed with delight.

"I always said that Brother Weiguo is a cultured man, that he's smart, so all the cow dung will be ours."

"Look at you, so naive and unsophisticated!"

Lu Weiguo laughed and scolded.

"After all that effort, is a little bit of cow dung enough to satisfy you?"

Lu Weiguo thought for a moment, then spoke of his future plans: "You heard it too, the price of dried mushrooms is different when they're sent to the county. Besides picking mushrooms during this time..."

Look, where are all the pine cones left? They may seem worthless, but if sold the right way, they could be more expensive than pork.

Besides, in winter, if we go hunting in the mountains and manage to catch a few wild boars or something, how will we transport them without an oxcart?

This cow is a treasure! We'll make our fortune from it in the future!

The saying that has been widely circulated in later generations is, "If you want to get rich, build roads first."

It's the same principle as how oxcarts have broken down geographical barriers today.

In later generations, there was a profession that involved driving to different rural areas to sell goods. Even though transportation was so developed in later generations, this profession still existed, which must have its reasons.

Besides, he wasn't telling the truth either. Those dried mushrooms weren't three cents, they were clearly eight cents!

There were seven times more buyers than the purchasing agents who came to make the acquisitions!

"Okay, I got it, Brother Weiguo. I'll go to the mountain to pick pine cones tomorrow."

"Okay, I'll get some when I have time. Just remember not to fall. I'll come to your house later and make you a hook so you can use the long-handled hook to pick the pine cones when you're halfway up."

Lu Weiguo thought for a moment and continued, "Oh, by the way, take the mushrooms to my house later and let them dry on the kang (heated brick bed) overnight. I'll help you sell them tomorrow!"

The two men got together and talked about their aspirations for a better future.

One refers to a happy and fulfilling life with his wife and daughters.

One man figured that with cow dung piled up in his house, he would never have to worry about running out of firewood in winter.

No one noticed that a woman's figure was faintly visible under the willow tree not far away.

At this moment, the woman's eyes darted rapidly around in their sockets as she watched Lu Weiguo's increasingly confident and mature back view.

Her hand unconsciously reached for the spot where Lu Weiguo had pinched her sore.
