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

Li Xiulian rested at home for a week.

So he called Lu Weiguo and asked him to settle the matter.

Thinking that she should help her sister-in-law take care of her during her postpartum period, she left the two children with Wu Guifen.

Lu Jiahuan has no concept of whose house he lives in; he's just learning to walk, so it doesn't matter where he is.

Lu Jiacheng, however, couldn't stop smiling.

It's well known that Li Guangrong was famous for spoiling his children.

Living with my maternal grandparents meant I could eat whatever I wanted.

Upon returning home, Li Xiulian immediately went to the Lu family's old residence.

Pig's trotter soup, egg drop soup, and many other traditional remedies for promoting lactation sent by Zhao's mother.

At this time, for reasons unknown, it is rare for women to not have breast milk after giving birth.

As long as the food is adequate, the milk supply is like a stream, never stopping.

Liu Ermei may have finally come to her senses. Feeling sorry for Li Xiulian taking care of her during her postpartum period, she took the initiative to come and help with cooking and lighting the fire. She only returned to Li Huifang's place after dinner.

For the past month, Lu Weiguo has been constantly looking around the new house.

With many people, there is great strength, and brick houses can be built quickly.

The day arrived when Shu Ruizhi finished her postpartum confinement.

It just so happened that the house was being topped out.

The painted wood was smooth and shiny.

There wasn't a single barb on it.

A small firecracker was set off.

More than ten people stood on the roof, pulling and lifting it up with ropes.

The weather was also a bright and sunny day.

Lu Weiguo witnessed the entire process.

Once the roof beam is in place.

Lu Weiguo directly sent out red envelopes.

This is a common practice when building houses in the village.

The two most crucial periods are digging the foundation and completing the roof.

Because this is the time when it's easiest to do something bad.

If the host doesn't treat the workers well, then when it's time to put up the roof and spread sawdust...

Add some dead rats or chicken blood.

From a scientific point of view, rooftops are prone to attracting snakes, insects, rodents, and ants.

According to local customs, it will affect the fortune of the whole family.

The roof of the house has been completed.

That means the house renovation is complete.

The last bit of mud and sand was all poured into the yard as required.

Only about three square meters of private land were left.

After nearly two months of construction.

Lu Weiguo's new home has finally been renovated!!!

Red bricks and red tiles, clean and tidy.

The roof beams were extremely high, even slightly taller than the village branch office.

Who could resist saying "impressive" after seeing this!

The original design of three terraced houses was modified by the addition of a built-in sewage well, which is equivalent to adding a built-in outhouse.

In the end, the design was revised, and only two large rooms were created.

The two rooms are designed exactly the same, with two bedrooms, a living room, and a bathroom inside.

It's all made of pure red bricks.

This day was arguably the most lively day in the entire village, apart from the New Year and the distribution of grain.

The Lu family's old mansion hosted a banquet for an entire day.

The beam-raising banquet and the topping-out banquet were held together.

Also, a one-month celebration gift for the two children.

The village chief waved his hand and used the village's quota to buy a pig in town.

Starting in the morning, the women in the village come to help slaughter the pig and cook.

At the moment when the sun is high in the sky at noon.

The old carpenter held up the wedding candies he had prepared in advance.

Standing in the very center of the banquet, he scattered the confetti in all directions.

At the same time, he muttered to himself: "Scatter a handful of steamed buns to the east, and your grandchildren will be pillars of society for generations to come."

"Scatter two handfuls of wedding candy to the south, and wealth will roll into your home."

"Scatter three handfuls of grains in the west, and you will enjoy good fortune, longevity, and peace."

"Scatter four copper coins in the north, and the granaries will be full of abundant grain."

"Sprinkle the whole handful in the middle, and your family will enjoy wealth and prosperity for ten thousand years!"

In no time, all the children in the village gathered around and squatted down to pick up the candies.

After all the formalities were completed, Huang He approached Lu Weiguo.

"Brother Weiguo, I have something to show you."

He pulled Lu Weiguo aside and took out a red cloth bag containing five kinds of coins from his pocket.

"Hehe, Sister Mengjie couldn't come over, so she asked me to bring this to you. She said it's for warding off evil spirits."

You have no idea how many villages and towns Sister Mengjie has traveled to recently in search of these Five Emperors' Coins.

Finally, I even went to a temple to have it blessed by a master, but no matter how much I tried to persuade him, he wouldn't come, so I had no choice but to bring it with me.

Lu Weiguo understood what Yuan Mengjie meant.

He silently accepted the five-emperor coins.

It has to be said that Yuan Mengjie really put her heart into this.

In this era, although the regulations are not so strict, it is possible to obtain these antiques.

They definitely took a lot of risks.

"I'll go thank her in person when I have some free time in the next few days. By the way, how's the collection of those seasonings and stuff I asked you two to get coming along?"

The snow is about to melt, and if I don't fulfill my promise to Katerina soon...

Winter is almost here.

"Don't even mention it! We've really lost out this time. Before the New Year, those things required ration coupons, but we didn't expect that after the New Year..."

The soy sauce factory couldn't even pay wages, so they were using soy sauce and other condiments to pay them, and there were so many of them everywhere. Now that they want to sell, they're losing a lot of money.

Huang He thought that Lu Weiguo was going to do the same old thing: hoard goods.

Little did they know, those were all prepared for Katerina.

"Okay, I'll give you the money when I arrive. Also, make sure the soy sauce and salt come in plastic bags, and get plenty of brown sugar and stuff."

I'll pick it up in a few days when I'm free.

Huang He didn't understand what it meant, but he wrote it all down and planned to figure it out when he got back.

When a new house is built, it needs to be burned to remove moisture.

Shu Ruizhi has also finished her postpartum confinement period.

Lu Weiguo no longer needs to guard this place.

This morning.

He told Li Xiulian that he was going to pick up the child from the county town.

A person rode away on a bicycle.

When he arrived in the county town, he did not go to Wu Guifen's house first.

Instead, they went to Yuan Mengjie's warehouse.

He had the key to the warehouse, but it was obvious that someone was inside and the door was locked from the inside.

Lu Weiguo thought for a moment, then climbed over the door without knocking.

"On the fields of hope..."

Upon entering the courtyard, melodious singing could be heard coming from the storeroom.

He peered out the window.

That familiar figure was singing as she moved back and forth among various fur coats.

Do this here, comb that there.

I was very happy.

But as he sang, he seemed to remember something and looked at the first bearskin coat.

froze in place.

"Weiguo, how did you end up getting married? If I were a mistress, would you look down on me?"

But I've found that I can't stand anyone else anymore...

The sound was barely audible, but it was overheard by Lu Weiguo, who had quietly slipped in.

"Sis, don't overthink it."

Lu Weiguo's voice came from behind her.

Then a strong arm wrapped around her from behind.

"what!"

Yuan Mengjie let out a scream.

Then she came to her senses from the familiar arms she had longed for day and night.

"You little brat, you didn't even knock before barging into a woman's room. Aren't you afraid I'll accuse you of being a pervert?"

Although Yuan Mengjie's ears turned red all the way to her neck.

She still managed a slight smile, turned her head, and gently touched Lu Weiguo's lips.

"Look, sis, who's being a pervert? I wasn't sneaking around, you were just too focused to notice."
