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

Is it possible to steal the bicycle back?

Lu Weiguo was unaware of this, but Zhao Jiaying had just arrived at the Lu family home.

He set his sights on that car that was specially assigned to county leaders.

"I said, little princess, you always have a private car when you go out, you've got quite the airs!"

Lu Weiguo and Zhao Jiaying got out of the car with the machete, knowing that Zhao Kaishan must have seen his envelope.

He greeted her with a smile.

It was the third day when she arrived.

The family had just finished dividing up the bear meat.

Inside, the purchasing station was bustling with activity.

This was a rare moment of leisure for Lu Weiguo.

"Brother Weiguo, what are you saying? This is my dad's. He's honest and upright, and he rides a bicycle to and from get off work."

Zhao Jiaying was not to be outdone.

He pointed to the bicycle that Liu Ermei was riding in the yard.

"Is that so? It's really good to be an official; you can get bicycle tickets so easily," Lu Weiguo replied with a smile.

You think you can't handle a little girl like her?

"You!!" Zhao Jiaying stomped her feet in anger.

It's the same problem as Xiaojiahuan.

"Hehe, what's going on? How did you get released, Miss?" Lu Weiguo chuckled as he accepted the gift from the driver.

In addition to fresh fruit, there were also two bottles of high-end Moutai liquor.

This thing isn't expensive, but ordinary people don't even have the chance to buy it.

But these days, good quality goods are a must.

"I need to talk to you about something."

Zhao Jiaying rolled her eyes at Lu Weiguo and took out a lot of women's items such as soap from the back seat.

The women who came to the purchasing station to complete their tasks were stunned by what they saw.

What the hell is going on?

He personally delivered the items in a car.

Judging from Zhao Jiaying's clothes and style, she is no ordinary person.

The last time I saw the car was the same one Zhang Dexing drove when he came.

It's obvious that the Lu family has climbed the social ladder.

"Sister-in-law! Come quick, this is what I brought for you. Brother Weiguo started bullying me right away!"

When Li Xiulian saw the guests, she also came out.

Upon seeing Li Xiulian, Zhao Jiaying instantly found a powerful backer.

"This..." The gift was too valuable for Li Xiulian to accept easily.

"Take it. If you don't, she won't be able to explain it to her when she gets home."

Even the most incorruptible officials live much better lives than ordinary people.

If we don't take advantage of the landlord now, when will we?

"Jiaying, the house is a bit messy, so I set up a collection point. Let's go inside and talk."

Li Xiulian handed over the gifts and warmly welcomed the two into the house.

Old Liu, the driver, was steady and reliable, like a bodyguard, just nodding and doing whatever Li Xiulian told him to do.

Zhao Jiaying, however, was like a lively monkey. After handing a letter to Lu Weiguo, she played with the two children in the yard.

"At this time?" Li Xiulian asked curiously.

"Let's take a look together, just in case there are any words I don't know?" Lu Weiguo said with a smile, putting his arm around his wife.

Li Xiulian rolled her eyes at Lu Weiguo. Lately, after exercising in the evenings, Lu Weiguo would either check her studies or tutor her in math, physics, and chemistry.

That level of skill was even more refined than her previous teacher's.

He also mentioned a librarian named Meng Fanjiao.

I was just about to go to the county town to deliver goods in the next couple of days, so I thought we could go and discuss what we'd learned together.

Open the envelope.

The tasks inside are very simple.

The county wanted to organize a hunting team to work with the forestry department to investigate and eliminate potential hazards in the mountains.

It was considered a collective task of the commune.

You can earn points, and the prey you hunt will be split 50/50.

The forestry hunting team was the main force, and Lu Weiguo was considered a representative of the commune.

As for anything else, Zhao Kaishan didn't mention anything.

This might be the unspoken understanding between the two; in such situations, good deeds should not leave any trace.

If a problem arises, it's better to talk by phone or in person than by letter.

Inside the envelope was also a letter of introduction.

It has a stamp and a signature, but no specific reason, which is another advantage.

"Oh? Is this the rat infestation you were talking about in our village?"

After reading the letter, Li Xiulian was filled with worry.

She had heard about what happened when she went up the mountain a couple of days ago.

There were wolves, bears, and a big tiger.

That's why she kept Lu Weiguo at home and worked his kidneys out every night until he was thin.

"Sure, they've already come knocking on our door. You see, forestry is the main focus, and we're just secondary. A quick stroll should be enough."

Before Lu Weiguo could finish speaking, Zhao Jiaying walked over with wide eyes and an incredulous expression.

"Sister-in-law, your skin is so good! It's better than mine, and even better than my sister's!!"

After several days of continuous moisturizing, Li Xiulian's face looked as smooth as a freshly peeled egg.

Forget about pimples, it makes my skin oily and smooth, even more effective than cosmetics from later generations.

"Oh dear, this..." Li Xiulian said a little embarrassed.

"You little brat, what do you know? You'll understand after you get married." Lu Weiguo took the opportunity to change the subject.

"What's wrong with me being a little girl? I'm not getting married. Look at my brother-in-law, he's nothing."

All he does is upset my sister. I've overheard them arguing several times already.

If you're going to look for a man, look for someone like Brother Weiguo.

Zhao Jiaying angrily grabbed Li Xiulian and left, determined to find out how Li Xiulian maintained her youthful appearance.

Of course, it wasn't just him; Li Huifang and the other woman who came with him to deliver the insoles had fair, rosy skin and didn't look like rural women at all.

"Brother, I've set all the traps you told me to set, but there are a lot of animal tracks around here."

And... there are several other bullet holes, and the ravine in front of the mountain is full of blood...

Lu Weiguo cannot go up the mountain.

Li Huifang and her companion couldn't control Liu Dazhuang.

Early in the morning, Liu Dazhuang returned from his escape.

"It seems the situation is worse than we anticipated. In any case, we should inform the village chief to stay home as much as possible."

Not much to show for it this morning?

"No, not even a rabbit, and hardly any pheasants either." Liu Dazhuang returned empty-handed.

This is the third day I've gone up the mountain empty-handed.

However, he still respected the rules and carried a tree back to use as firewood.

You must go up the mountain empty-handed, or you'll never catch any prey.

With Liu Dazhuang's return, the situation in Lu Weiguo's team in the mountains improved significantly.

He hid alone in the shed, gathering his equipment.

The courtyard was bustling with activity. Taking advantage of the recent good weather, the village men were helping Lu Weiguo rebuild the foundation he had laid earlier.

This was a spontaneous action by the villagers.

It's often said that the wealthier people become in later generations, the more they see the true goodness and beauty in the world.

Zhao Jiaying was there, as was the driver; they were just about to haul the goods from the purchasing station closer to the county town.

This little girl didn't even get to eat before she started running errands.

They returned to the county town together with Li Xiulian.

"A car can come for free? And gas is really cheap in Northeast China right now..."

Lu Weiguo heard the sound of a car in the shed and started complaining to himself.
