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

"Dad, I want to eat this."

"Daddy! I want to eat that!"

"Daddy! I want a little sugar figurine!"

"Daddy, I want to eat roasted sweet potatoes!"

"Okay!!" Lu Weiguo only said one word from beginning to end.

That's good.

Li Xiulian only ordered one roasted sweet potato, saying that it could be made at home.

Unexpectedly, when the old man roasting sweet potatoes saw that it was Lu Weiguo, he immediately gave him two small ones.

Give one to each of the two children.

There were quite a few people on the street at this time, most of them riding bicycles.

After entering the county town, oxcarts were not allowed to travel on the main street.

Occasionally, one or two cars would honk their horns to ask pedestrians to give way.

"You can't give that stuff to your sister, you can eat it yourself."

Lu Weiguo stopped the hand that was about to give Lu Jiahuan a small sugar figurine.

Lu Jiacheng chuckled to himself, "I saw Dad give my little sister rock candy today."

Upon hearing this, all four of them laughed.

As we passed the department store, Huang He was already waiting at the entrance.

Upon seeing Lu Weiguo, she gave him a no-questions-asked gesture.

Lu Weiguo then stopped the car and locked the bicycle.

He went inside with his wife and children.

The department store is a two-story building. The first floor sells daily necessities and dried goods as well as food.

This was also Lu Jiacheng's first time here, and his two small eyes simply weren't enough to take it all in.

I didn't look much at the leather goods in the department store; I just kept a close eye on what kinds of mountain products were available for sale.

The older sisters in the Liu family are all able to go up the mountain, and he's thinking that when he grows up, he'll also go up the mountain to collect mountain products to sell.

This way, parents won't have to work so hard.

The second floor sells ready-made clothing.

Except for a few premium stores that are expensive and don't require tickets, the rest of the stores still require tickets to purchase.

A women's top cut from two feet of fabric requires three feet of outer fabric.

For men's tops that are three to four feet long, an additional half foot of cloth ration coupon is required.

Of course, the price varies slightly depending on the type of fabric.

Once on the second floor, even Li Xiulian was dazzled by the variety of clothes.

There were all sorts of things: Zhongshan suits, woolen overcoats, women's shirts—it was dazzling.

Li Xiulian stood in front of a woolen wardrobe for a long time.

She was still wearing the simplest kind of dark green work clothes.

Hesitant and afraid of wearing out her sleeves, she wore arm warmers before going out, making her look just like a factory worker.

Women love beauty, and besides, she has a very good foundation.

After glancing at the price, Li Xiulian shook her head and prepared to leave.

Although she has saved up quite a bit of money now.

Over a thousand!

But she planned to save this money for her child's schooling.

"Try it if you like, it's all good material."

The sales clerk mechanically uttered this sentence, saying that sales clerks in department stores all receive regular salaries.

They had a higher status than female factory workers.

Seeing Lu Weiguo and his group dressed like this.

She's obviously a country bumpkin. It's already a miracle that she hasn't been kicked out of her high-end women's clothing store.

The tickets purchased overhead passed back and forth on the wire.

Li Xiulian's heart, like the banknote, only lingered for a moment before slipping away.

"If you like it, give it a try. They've already said so."

Lu Weiguo held up the maroon woolen overcoat and held it up in front of Li Xiulian.

And you know what? The color made Li Xiulian's skin look even whiter.

"They were just being polite, but you took it seriously. It's too expensive, so let's not buy it. I don't usually wear such beautiful clothes."

Li Xiulian pointed to the sign and shook her head.

"Even if you don't need it, you still need to have it. A woman's wardrobe is always missing one more piece of clothing." Lu Weiguo ignored the saleswoman's look at him as if he were a shameless person.

He picked up Lu Jiahuan and stuffed the clothes directly into Li Xiulian's hands.

Seeing that she couldn't go against her husband's wishes, Li Xiulian gave the sales clerk an apologetic look.

He then took off his clothes, carefully wiped his hands, and put on the wool coat.

The wool coat has a great drape, and the materials used in this day and age are solid. Moreover, both the collar and cuffs are hand-woven.

The dress even had a cinched waist, with the maroon belt cinching it in.

Her slender waist accentuated her stunning figure, elevating Li Xiulian's overall aura to a whole new level.

"Mom looks so beautiful!"

"Mom looks beautiful!!"

It was the first time Lu Jiacheng had seen his mother like this, and he jumped up and down, clapping and praising her.

The sales clerk also came over at this moment, staring at Lu Weiguo with a surprised look, and then looked at Lu Weiguo's country bumpkin appearance.

It's as if it's saying, "Such an elegant woman, even after having two children, still has such a slim waist and such a straight back."

Why did she fall for this poor boy?

"Girl, you look great! This dress has been on sale for so long, and you're the first one I've seen that makes you look so elegant."

If you can get it, I'll give you an insider price; it would be a real shame if you didn't buy it.

The salesperson wasn't trying to sell, but was genuinely amazed by Li Xiulian's demeanor.

Putting aside other things.

She only gets a fixed salary no matter how many she sells; it's better if fewer people come.

"No, it's too expensive."

Li Xiulian's face flushed red with embarrassment as she watched as her clothes were about to be taken off.

"Well... I'll think of something for you. How about we get you a defective application form? You have two kids, you should treat yourself better."

The sales clerk looked to be in her forties and had a special tenderness for women.

That's a pain that only women can understand.

"Need not."

Lu Weiguo shook his head and refused, saying, "How can I buy defective clothes for my wife?"

"I'm telling you, young man, you have both a son and a daughter, do you know how much your wife sacrificed? Do you still think this is the old society, where women are treated like pigs?"

What's wrong with buying your wife a dress?

Upon hearing this, the salesperson immediately objected, assuming that Lu Weiguo was unwilling to spend the money.

If it were anything else, Lu Weiguo would never have been able to stand this insult.

But the sales clerk meant well. Seeing that Li Xiulian was about to explain, Lu Weiguo interrupted her with a smile.

"What I mean is, we don't need to apply for defective products. Look, that red turtleneck sweater is quite nice too; let my wife try it on."

And those bell-bottoms, is that what they're called?

After Lu Weiguo finished speaking, he saw that the salesperson did not take any action.

He pulled out a large sum of money from his pocket and said.

"You're rich, don't worry."

Li Xiulian didn't want to change, but she was, after all, a woman.

Encouraged by Lu Weiguo and his child, they entered the fitting room made of a curtain.

A rustling sound, tiny little hearts.

When Li Xiulian pulled back the curtain and came out.

Everyone shopping nearby was stunned.

Black wide-leg flared pants, paired with a red top and a maroon wool coat.

The hair was casually tied up.

In addition, Li Xiulian was already delicate and petite.

Many men were secretly thinking, "This is what a fairy in a movie would look like when she descends to earth."

"This is the outfit. The only imperfection is the shoes. I'll go over there and pick out a pair of dress shoes later, and it will be perfect."

"Hey lady, give me the receipt! I'll take the whole outfit!"
