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

Is Hu Guangfa better than a fool?

The two Li sisters were unaware of this.

He is indeed a diligent person.

The two sisters spent the entire afternoon preparing ingredients at the breakfast shop.

Hu Guangfa made more than ten trips in a row.

They'd bring an egg one minute, and a dough ball the next.

When he had nothing left to give, he came over by himself, thinking that he might as well see Li Xiuhe and talk to her.

Li Xiuhe was so angry that she would curse him whenever she saw him, and hit him as soon as he entered the house.

"Sister Xiuhe, I really like you. Look, I have arms and legs, and I can still earn money. Even if I don't work at school anymore, I can still support you."

"I'll support you!!" Li Xiuhe stood at the door with her hands on her hips, holding a rolling pin.

"You're supposed to support me? You have no idea how much I cried for days at school when I heard you were getting married..."

"Get out of my way! You were so little back then!!"

Li Xiuhe has been married for seven years; she is almost ten years older than Hu Guangfa.

Hu Guangfa was only in his early twenties when he was still in elementary school.

"But I just love you, Sister Xiulian. I won't marry anyone but you. Wait for me, I'll tell my parents tonight!"

After Hu Guangfa finished speaking, he turned and left.

Li Xiulian laughed so hard she almost choked.

She hadn't seen such a cute little man in a long time.

"Hey sis, didn't he say he'd tell our parents this morning? Why hasn't he said it yet, it's already evening?"

"He's obviously a model student. His parents are school leaders, and he's terrified of them. How dare he tell them?" Li Xiuhe shook her head with a smile.

"Moreover, even if I dared to say it, I would never marry into such a family. They pride themselves on being from a scholarly family. If I were to marry into their family, I would be bullied to death by my mother-in-law. Let me tell you, don't marry a teacher, and definitely don't marry a teacher as your mother-in-law."

Li Xiuhe didn't say anything more.

She actually wanted to find a man like Lu Weiguo—responsible, thoughtful, and someone she could rely on.

She didn't want to continue being so assertive, nor did she want to be the older sister taking care of the younger brother.

Instead, she wanted to be a woman, a little woman, like a younger sister, not thinking about anything, and asking her husband for help whenever she needed it.

My husband shoulders everything.

If you can't find it, it's better not to look for it at all.

really.

night.

At Hu Guangfa's house, on the walnut wood octagonal table, five dishes were arranged in a circle, neatly and orderly.

After his parents were seated, Hu Guangfa took off his apron and sat down with his head down.

"Son, is there something you want to say to me and your mother?"

Instead of picking up his chopsticks, Mr. Hu asked the question first.

One should not speak while eating or sleeping; once one picks up chopsticks, the mouth is only used for eating.

"Dad...I..."

"Are you even a man? You stutter and stammer, don't you have any manly manners?!"

When Hu's father saw Hu Guangfa like this, he got angry. Hu Guangfa was a tall young man, over 1.8 meters tall.

He becomes awkward and hesitant when he speaks, which is quite inappropriate.

Little did they know that this was the result of years of strict discipline at home.

At this point, I didn't have any thoughts of depression or mental illness.

We should check on Hu Guangfa; there's definitely something wrong with him once he gets home.

"Dad, Mom, I have someone I like."

Hu Guangfa shuddered after being scolded by his father, and then he finally spoke his mind.

But the expected storm didn't come; instead, it was her mother's curious question.

"My Guangfa has grown up, he even has someone he likes now, and he's definitely reached a certain age."

However, Mom only has one requirement for your partner: his family must be scholarly, he must be well-educated, and it must be his first marriage.

The first two requirements seemed normal to Hu Guangfa, but the third one...

Hu Guangfa immediately raised his head.

"Mom! Why does it have to be a first marriage?! I..."

Before he could finish speaking, he saw Mr. Hu pick up his chopsticks.

The words he wanted to say were instantly swallowed back down his throat. He tried to speak several times, but seeing his father's gloomy face, he couldn't open his mouth no matter what.

With something on my mind, I ate a rather bland meal today.

After finishing the meal and waiting for my parents to leave, I finally had the strength to stand up and clear the table.

inside the house.

Looking at her stern-faced husband, Mrs. Hu couldn't help but sigh.

"Old man, do you think this will work? You know your son's personality; when he's stubborn, nothing can change his mind. If we don't talk to him clearly..."

He's going against us...

"You just keep spoiling him like this!" Mr. Hu rolled his eyes at Mrs. Hu. "Now I've heard all the rumors at school, saying that some little slut is seducing our son."

This isn't our son's problem, it's Li Xiuhe's problem!

Mr. Hu stood up and pointed to the street across the street.

"When Li Xiulian was a teacher, I noticed something was off about her. She was flirtatious and didn't even want a child. She must have been feeling restless and lonely."

Finally, what happened? First she seduced students' parents, then she divorced her husband, and now she's trying to seduce our son.

"She thinks she's so great, that I can't handle her once she leaves school?"

. . . . .

The next morning, the Li sisters arrived at the breakfast shop hand in hand.

It was still dark.

Before Li Xiuhe could take out her key, several men in work uniforms walked up from behind.

"Come on, let's check. Open the door and let us in!"

"Ah!" The sudden sound startled the two women, who turned around to find that it was a comrade from the health and epidemic prevention station.

"Hello comrade, I haven't received any notification about an inspection, and at this time..." Li Xiuhe was a little scared.

It's not that I'm afraid of using unclean ingredients.

It was pitch black, it was the early hours of the morning, and across from them was a group of menacing-looking men.

Regardless of which organization he works for, a woman will naturally feel a sense of fear.

"What, do we need to notify you before we start working? Do we need to report to you? Just open the door when we're told to!"

All the necessary documents are ready, and the officials from the Industry and Commerce Bureau will be here shortly!

In those days, because of the recent reforms, and because their county was a pilot area.

Therefore, the coordination between departments is not particularly good.

To obtain a business license, you need to go to the local industrial and commercial bureau.

You also need to go to the health and epidemic prevention station, the grain and oil supply approval office, the street office, and other places to complete the relevant approval procedures.

In some places, all departments are located in the Revolutionary Committee.

However, most areas in Northeast China are relatively unique, as they are jointly managed by the forestry department and the county party committee.

Therefore, these departments are separate and need to be divided according to the street to determine who has jurisdiction.

"Okay, okay, comrade, please wait a moment. Let me open the door. My documents are all in order, and the materials are all clean."

"You haven't had breakfast yet, have you? Perfect timing, stay and have some, try my cooking..."

Since ancient times, people have not fought with officials.

The two women felt uneasy facing the uniformed men; something seemed amiss.
