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

The twenty-ninth day of the twelfth lunar month.

This was the last day that Lu Weiguo spent at the Lu family's old house with his wife and children.

Father Lu waved his hand and said, "Let's treat the 29th as New Year's Eve!"

Regardless of customs, we started putting up Spring Festival couplets with our eldest grandson early in the morning.

Lu Jiacheng ate the paste made from flour paste all over his face.

The little cat with the graffiti made everyone laugh.

An old man and a young child, one holding paste and the other holding Spring Festival couplets, what a happy scene.

The neighbors nearby were incredibly envious.

Inside the house, Li Xiulian held Lu Jiahuan in her arms, glanced at her son outside, and then looked at Lu Weiguo, who was dividing the sugar-smoked meat into two portions.

At that moment, two tears inexplicably rolled down her cheeks.

As each drop was poured into Xiao Jia Huan's mouth, the little girl actually smiled and said it was so sweet.

Yes!

These days are so sweet.

In the past, holidays were the last thing she wanted to do, because she had no money to buy meat, vegetables, or new clothes.

If relatives came to visit, she could only serve one plate of meat repeatedly on the table, and everyone knew that she was living a hard life.

I felt too embarrassed to eat that plate of meat and vegetables.

One dish is eaten from the first day of the Lunar New Year to the fifteenth day.

There's still the same amount of meat inside.

Even during the years when Lu Weiguo stopped gambling, the family's life didn't improve much.

But now.

The fire in the stove made the plain steamed buns inside smell delicious.

Two stoves were set up in the courtyard, each with a dish that I had never tasted in my first half of life.

The fish is whole, and the chicken has its thighs.

Even the pork is cooked whole by boiling it, then sliced ​​and eaten with minced garlic.

Eat as much as you want; no one will care how to divide that one or two pieces of meat.

We could get by before, but we were just existing.

But this year.

Li Xiulian watched Lu Weiguo's busy figure and said, "Weiguo."

"kindness?"

"It's so good to have you." She smiled, her face full of love.

"Having you is my blessing." Lu Weiguo suddenly understood Li Xiulian's thoughts.

Their eyes met, and for a moment it seemed as if they were the only two people in each other's lives.

They ate and drank all day.

None of the men in the family could control themselves.

We ate lunch from noon until five in the afternoon.

Mr. Lu was happy and drank a couple more cups of wine. He fell asleep on the kang (a heated brick bed) with a smile on his face.

Lu Baojia drank the least, but he was thinking about his wife. After the meal, he took two bags of gifts and went to pay New Year's greetings to Old Mrs. Chang.

This was originally something that was done on the 30th of the twelfth lunar month.

But Lu Weiguo is not home this year, and he is worried that his wife can't do without a man by her side.

That's why we chose today.

Lu Weiguo felt that Lu Baojia had changed recently, and was paying more and more attention to his sister-in-law, who was the only one in his family.

back home.

Snowflakes began to fall outside, and Lu Weiguo lit the stove inside.

Li Xiulian also folded up the quilts that had been laid on the kang to keep her warm.

Li Xiuhe went into the house and carried the two little ones back to the small hut.

This leaves ample space for both of them.

Lu Weiguo took off his clothes, his whole body reeking of alcohol.

However, Li Xiulian didn't mind. She believed that men should be like this, eating and drinking as they please.

Looking at Lu Weiguo's lecherous eyes, he suddenly remembered the desolation and coldness of his home during last year's Spring Festival.

Today, Lu Weiguo returned from gambling, reeking of smoke and alcohol.

But at that time, all she saw was disdain.

They weren't disgusted by his smell, but by the fact that the whole family was starving while he went out to fool around!

"Honey, what are you thinking about? Do I smell too bad? Wait for me a bit, I'm going out to take a shower."

Lu Weiguo gently noticed his wife's unusual behavior and lightly kissed her cheek.

He turned to leave.

"Don't leave Weiguo."

Li Xiulian looked somewhat dazed, and there was even a hint of panic in the corner of her eye.

"I won't leave, I'll always be by your side."

He whispered the most tender words of love into her ear.

"Weiguo, is all of this real? I feel like I'm dreaming. I never thought I could live such a life."

Lu Weiguo didn't say anything, but tightened his grip on her arm a little more.

"I'm so sleepy, I really don't want to wake up. Weiguo, please don't leave me. I'm afraid of losing you again, I won't be able to bear it~"

The cruelest thing for a person is not losing something, but losing it again.

Li Xiulian couldn't bear it and didn't want to try; she had experienced the most tragic year of her life.

Those days weighed heavily on her heart, a nightmare she could never escape.

She feared that one day she would suddenly wake up to find herself with two starving children beside her, a cold kang (heated brick bed), a cold sky, and a cold heart.

"Don't worry, I won't leave."

No amount of promises will make a difference.

At this moment, Lu Weiguo could only melt Li Xiulian with his body.

Kiss me.

Li Xiulian uttered the last two words.

then...

Li Xiuhe blushed and carried her two children back to the Lu family's old house.

Mr. Lu asked, "Why are you back? Where are the two of them?"

"The two of them? They're busy right now, busy tearing the house down, busy smashing the kang (heated brick bed), busy giving you another grandson!!"

The language was rough, but it made the elderly couple so happy that they laughed their dentures out.

. . . .

"I want more."

An hour later.

"I want more!"

Even an old ox needs rest, but Li Xiulian seems to have gone mad today.

I have no idea how to write the word "rest".

At last.

When Li Xiulian lay on Lu Weiguo's body, she didn't even have the strength to move a finger.

He stubbornly insisted, "Wei Guo, I want to have ten children for you! Give it to me again."

. . . . .

The thirtieth day of the twelfth lunar month.

Lunar New Year's eve.

Early in the morning, Lu's father and Lu Baojia came over to see Lu Weiguo and his four companions off.

Lu Weiguo was riding a bicycle with Li Xiulian on the back and two baskets hanging in front.

It was stuffed with cotton quilts, and the two children were placed inside, making it as warm as a heated kang bed at home.

It was tough on Lu Weiguo, who rode his bicycle like a crab, swaying from side to side with his big hips.

"What's wrong with you, Weiguo? You seem a bit cocky. Are you still drunk?"

Lu Baojia was observant and immediately noticed the problem.

"I woke up a while ago. The second time will be fine. Cough cough, it's just that my legs are weak. Don't worry, my most important thing is on the bicycle. I'll ride slowly."

Li Xiulian slammed her fist on Lu Weiguo. In her words, it was the smell of alcohol on Lu Weiguo that made her dizzy, which is why she was so crazy last night.

Her legs are even weaker than Lu Weiguo's; she needs Lu Weiguo to carry her even when she gets on a bicycle.

"Brother, take good care of Dad and sister-in-law. Da Zhuang has already spoken to them, so don't worry."

"I'm leaving now, Dad. I'll be back on the third or fourth day of the Lunar New Year."

Goodbye, Grandpa!

Li Xiuhe waved goodbye to the Lu family, the back of the car filled with food.

By this time, she had adjusted her mindset and was preparing to open a breakfast shop after the New Year.

She has seen what true happiness looks like. Whether or not she can have it, life still depends on herself.

just in case...

Even a complete idiot can have two wives.

Why can't his two sisters...?
