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

"What would you like to eat?"

"Well...."

"Hurry up, there are still customers over there!"

Just as Lu Weiguo was looking at today's menu on the blackboard.

The waiter became impatient and urged them on.

Reform pilot programs are flourishing everywhere.

State-owned restaurants were the first to be affected.

There are rumors that state-run restaurants will become private enterprises, and all chefs and waiters will be laid off.

This led to the already proud waiters becoming increasingly impatient at work.

"Sweet and sour pork, braised pork slices, braised pork belly, black and white cabbage, fried egg, and a bowl of rice."

Lu Weiguo glanced at the waiter and continued to tell him what dishes he wanted to eat.

"Wow, you've ordered so much! Are you sure you can finish it all? I can't just dine and dash here. Unlike those street vendors, you have to pay first."

The price is cheap, but you need a receipt, don't say I didn't warn you. Go pay over there now!

As the waiter spoke, he turned and went straight to the kitchen.

"Damn! Oh right, I need tickets too. Do you have any left? Consider it a loan from me, I'll pay you back tomorrow."

Lu Weiguo slapped his forehead, not bothering to cover his voice.

"I knew you were just trying to freeload! What are you going to order without a ticket? Do you think we're some small restaurant run by some country bumpkin?"

"I'm telling you, if you cause trouble here, believe me, I'll break your legs!"

The waiter who had just entered the kitchen rushed out as soon as he heard this.

There weren't many people working in state-run restaurants to begin with.

There was practically no one there, but there were still a few tables in the private room where customers could sign up.

Hearing the commotion, they all came out to join in the fun.

"Brother, we're not hungry, we just ate. How about we..."

"Look at you! What are you doing here after you've finished eating?!" Hearing Meng Fanjiao's soft, sweet voice, the waiter became even more enthusiastic. "You're here to cause trouble! Even if a state-run restaurant wants to change, it's still better than you bumpkins! Go cool off somewhere else, ordering food and eating? Why don't you eat shit?!"

Lu Weiguo ignored the waiter and instead looked at Meng Fanjiao, saying, "It's okay, we can't finish it. We'll pack it up and you can eat it tomorrow. Lend me the ticket first."

Meeting Lu Weiguo's gaze, Meng Fanjiao took out the dark green shoulder bag from the steel rolling mill.

He took out all the tickets from the innermost handkerchief.

She was not assigned to the steel rolling mill's staff dormitory.

Because she failed to get into university and didn't want to get married, she secretly ran away.

He could only live in the communal dormitory provided by the street, along with many prostitutes and other unfortunate women.

Therefore, she usually carries her valuables with her at all times.

"Oh my, it's just a few grain coupons, why are you wrapping it up so tightly? You look like a poor wretch. How could anyone possibly sneak in your things? Even mice would cry if they went to your house."

I've never seen such a poor family.

"Here's the ticket and the money. I've finished buying the eggs. Waiter, can you serve me the food now?"

Shouldn't you offer me some service too?

Lu Weiguo spoke with disdain, his eyes constantly glancing towards the private room.

However, even being a waiter/waitress is a legitimate job with a permanent position.

She usually blows her nose and makes faces at people.

When did I ever hear someone speak to me with such contempt?

The woman in her forties looked at Lu Weiguo, her nostrils flaring, and she was breathing heavily through her nose.

Just like an angry bull.

If it weren't for the fact that Lu Weiguo was just too strong...

They'll probably be here soon.

"You!! You!! How dare you talk to me like that! Just because you have tickets doesn't mean you can be so great. I'm not going to put up with you anymore!! Get out of here, get out of here right now!"

Finally, after saying that sentence.

Inside the innermost private room, several pot-bellied men came out to watch the commotion.

Standing in the very center of the crowd was the woman he had seen at the train station.

Bai Jie, who was once both a casual fling and a friend, and whose life was intertwined with mine for half my life!

"Get lost?" Lu Weiguo said, seeing that the person he wanted to see had finally been drawn out.

I stopped indulging that waiter.

He went straight up and grabbed the man by the neck.

Use your uninjured right hand to exert force.

They lifted the woman into the air and then carried her backward.

"What are you doing!"

"What the hell are you doing here? Don't ruin my clothes."

"Damn it, what are you doing here?"

The pot-bellied men turned away in disgust and hid behind them.

This put Bai Jie right at the very front.

Lu Weiguo's lips curled up.

Isn't that even simpler?

He threw the woman in his arms away forcefully.

"ah!!"

"ah!!"

Two screams rang out.

Bai Jie was pinned down by the woman.

"Ah!! You dare hit me! I'll fight you to the death!!"

The waiter, clutching his neck, got up, picked up a broom from the ground, and lunged at Lu Weiguo.

At that moment, Lu Weiguo didn't even look at her.

Instead, he stared straight into Bai Jie's eyes.

After being pinned down, Bai Jie did not get up immediately.

Her gaze was filled with doubt as she looked at Lu Weiguo without even blinking.

"Bang!"

Lu Weiguo kicked the waiter away.

The waiter, unconvinced, charged forward again.

Then. . .

He was kicked away again.

Lu Weiguo would not speak first.

Bai Jie seemed to be scrutinizing Lu Weiguo, an ordinary person from a small county town, and wouldn't let her speak first.

That's possible.

That waiter was in trouble.

Either you get kicked away, or you're forced to slap someone in the face.

Finally, it was the experience of working at a state-owned store; I just rushed back from outside.

That's why some people dared to stand up and stop it.

The waiter had been beaten beyond recognition.

"Call the police! Call the police quickly!"

"What's going on? You haven't been drinking, so what are you doing here causing trouble!"

"The waiter started it by swearing at him. We saw it the whole time. He said some really nasty things."

"Yes, and they even insulted them..."

The two were surrounded by people.

They only had eyes for each other, but neither of them spoke first.

Lu Weiguo understood Bai Jie; he understood every aspect of her.

They know her even better than she knows herself.

But Bai Jie has no memories of her past life.

She's just naturally proud and would never back down to a man.

The police have arrived.

They still only had eyes for each other.

Until all those involved were taken away to the police station's rest room.

Finally unable to bear it any longer, Bai Jie asked in an icy voice.

"Looking for me? Does it really need this grand gesture?"

They were all smart people; Bai Jie noticed it as soon as she came out.

When Lu Weiguo heard that familiar voice, he immediately felt that the familiar past had returned.

This Bai Jie has a temperament like an eagle.

Taming her is like training a hawk.

This time, he clearly took the lead.

How did you know I was looking for you?

Lu Weiguo's lips curled up.

"Oh? You're not looking for me? Then I can leave now."

"I can leave too."

Lu Weiguo stood up and greeted the young policeman at the door.

"Shall we go somewhere else?"

Seeing the police's attitude towards Lu Weiguo, Bai Jie also became somewhat interested in him.

I don't know.

All the causal disputes stem from this sudden surge of interest.
