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

"Sister, it's been so long! Your kids have grown so much!"

Zhao Jiahuan, the eldest sister of the Zhao family, who had already completed her postpartum confinement period, was holding her baby inside the house, still wearing the postpartum confinement hat on her head.

In those days, even the county government compound wasn't very well heated.

"Wei Guo, you've arrived."

Upon seeing Lu Weiguo, the babbling child kept trying to escape from Zhao Jiahuan's arms.

His excited little face, with his big, blinking eyes, was nothing like that scoundrel Zhang Benmo.

The child was about to fall.

Lu Weiguo hurriedly stepped forward and took the child from Zhao Jiahuan's arms.

In his haste, Lu Weiguo's hand brushed across the spot that was wet with breast milk.

It made Zhao Jiahuan feel as if he had been electrocuted.

"Oh, why do you stop fussing as soon as you hug me?"

Zhao Jia Huan blushed and changed the subject, standing next to Lu Weiguo and playing with the little baby together.

"Maybe it's because I'm close to them, and I still smell like a child."

Lu Weiguo only felt a cool sensation on his hand and didn't pay much attention to it, but Zhao Jiahuan smelled strongly of milk.

I have no idea what she's been eating lately, but she looks like a little cow.

"Thanks to you, everything you taught me last time kept the baby from fussing much in February. And now the baby sleeps very well; at only five months old, he hardly wakes up at night anymore."

Otherwise, I definitely wouldn't have been able to make it this far on my own.

"Zhang Benmo hasn't come back yet?"

Lu Weiguo sensed something was wrong from the conversation, and he hadn't noticed any other men's shoes when he entered the room today.

"Sigh," Zhao Jia Huan sighed, "He's come back a few times, but I don't know why, after he and my dad came out of the study, he never came back."

My dad told me he used his connections to get me transferred to the provincial capital for further training.

"The province?" Lu Weiguo frowned and turned his head, his peripheral vision catching a glimpse of the wet patch on his chest.

I instantly understood what was on the back of my hand.

this.....

My dear friend, I'm sorry.

"Yes, he said he speaks Russian, and the province needed foreign exchange to purchase some equipment. I don't know the specifics, but I do know that he and my dad had a falling out."

Lu Weiguo also sighed. At this time, Zhang Benmo's development was completely different from that of his previous life.

He didn't know whether it was good or bad.

"Let's put him aside for now. My baby has been spitting up a lot lately and isn't eating as much as before. Do you have any experience and could you help me take a look?"

When chatting with mothers, the conversation inevitably revolves around their children.

This was a mother's instinct, and as soon as Lu Weiguo heard it, he knew roughly where the problem lay.

First, she laid the baby flat on Zhao Jiahuan's bed, then gently covered the baby's belly with her palm.

With your other hand, tap the back of your hand; this way you can clearly hear the echoes from inside your baby's belly.

"Sister, listen, that's the sound of gas coming out of the baby's tummy. Babies around five or six months old have started to roll over and are moving around more."

A child's digestive system is not yet fully developed, so it's impossible to know which movement will cause bloating.

"Sister, sit here. I'll teach you a set of exercises to prevent your child from getting gas."

Lu Weiguo was truly experienced in taking care of children, especially since such content could be easily found on various video platforms in later generations.

"Weiguo, I don't dare. Can you hold my hand? I'm afraid I'll hurt the baby."

Lu Weiguo's description was clear, but when it came to actually doing it with the baby, a new mother still couldn't bring herself to do it.

"Um... like this, I'll hold your hand from the side, you don't need to pull hard, I'll show you how it feels."

Baby's gas-relieving exercises involve moving their legs in various ways.

He used his own legs to press on his stomach, clearing the gas accumulated in his intestines.

Of course, you can also press some acupoints on your hands.

But the effect wasn't as noticeable as the decompression exercises.

"Yes, just like that. Don't use too much force. The child's body is soft, it'll be fine."

"Look how comfortable the baby is, he's even starting to whimper..."

"Pfft. Pfft."

As Lu Weiguo held Zhao Jiahuan's hand, he performed several gas-relieving exercises for the baby.

A series of popping sounds rang out.

The child looked even more comfortable, twisted his body, and fell asleep with his bottom sticking up like a little toad.

"Oh! I see! Weiguo! Thank you!" Zhao Jiahuan looked at the scene in front of her in surprise, turned her head, and subconsciously kissed Lu Weiguo on the cheek.

She immediately regretted it after the kiss, covering her mouth with one hand and frantically wiping the saliva off Lu Weiguo's face with the other.

"Excuse me, I... I thought it was... I didn't quite realize what was going on."

Lu Weiguo was also taken aback by this and quickly said that he was fine.

In his heart, however, he was frantically apologizing to Zhang Benmo.

You know what a mess this is, that beast was keeping a young girl on the side.

But he couldn't sleep with his wife either.

What difference is there between him and an animal?

Fortunately, Zhao Jiaying tiptoed in, breaking the awkward situation.

Seeing that the baby was asleep, they quickly got the two of them to eat.

After having children, everything revolves around them; even mealtimes are postponed until the children are asleep.

"Mom, Weiguo just taught me a set of gas-relieving exercises. The child farted a few times, and it looked so comforting."

As soon as Zhao Jiahuan sat down at the dinner table, he began to curry favor with Lu Weiguo.

Zhao Kaishan glared at Lu Weiguo as he looked at his eldest daughter's excited expression.

However, Zhao Jiaying then started piling food into Lu Weiguo's bowl.

Originally, I was just here to visit my business partner and have a simple meal.

Taking it felt like being roasted over a fire.

The father, who was extremely vigilant, couldn't see the girl, Ting'er.

There was also a stay-at-home mom who was always rubbing against him.

In the end, even Zhao's mother began to praise Lu Weiguo's excellence.

Zhao Kaishan had a fleeting feeling: Could this be the kind of incompetent husband described in traditional operas?

As soon as Lu Weiguo finished eating, Zhao Kaishan pushed him out the door.

He brought two bags of pastries, which were exchanged for two bags of fresh fruits and vegetables.

They didn't let me take the chair that was promised.

Zhao Kaishan was terrified that if Lu Weiguo stayed even a minute longer, he would take away his two daughters.

"I don't know what's so great about this rascal. If he weren't married, he would be a really good son-in-law."

Zhao Kaishan muttered to himself.

Zhao Jiahuan, who had just come out of the restroom, blushed.

She took her younger sister back to the house and began to inquire about Lu Weiguo's family.

"His wife is from the county, so let's talk to our mom and invite them to a movie tonight."

The two sisters hit it off immediately, since it was the Lunar New Year anyway.

The movie theater stays open until midnight.

Once the baby is put to sleep, three hours is enough time for them to stay outside for a while.
