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

One day later.

It was Yuan Mengjie who stepped forward and led the people from the neighborhood to draft a contract.

In those days, there were no standardized house deeds.

This area used to be school grounds.

We needed to get a letter of introduction from the school and apply for the land title until the sun was almost setting.

After completing all the formalities, they sat together inside Old Zhou's house.

"Little girl, you're not joking? You really want to buy this house? I'm too old to handle the hassle."

Don't tease me.

Old Zhou was still a little skeptical, saying that people were often cold and indifferent.

He didn't believe it before; it was all land that had been seized from the Japanese devils and the Russian devils when they were young.

How can such indifferent people be born on this land?

but.

When something happens at home and you really need money.

Those young people with money in their hands do not trust the people or the country.

They only believe that the house has bad feng shui.

"I'm not kidding, old man. I've brought the money with me, and you still don't believe me?"

A brand new "Great Unity" note for ten yuan.

They took them out of the bag one stack at a time.

Old Zhou stared at the money, stunned for a long time.

Then he stood up and slowly walked across every piece of land in the house.

As he walked from inside the house into the yard, looking at the marks on the wall that showed his child's growth, Old Zhou's eyes welled up with tears.

Walking into his private plot, he looked at the corn that had grown almost as tall as him.

I couldn't resist breaking off an ear of grain.

Peel off the outer skin and eat the tender corn bite by bite.

The vegetables in his yard have never been sprayed with pesticides.

We have never used chemical fertilizers.

He painstakingly turned over every inch of the land, mixing farmyard manure with wood ash.

And there was the courtyard built with broken bricks.

He used to dream of holding his grandson.

If this little yard is built up too high, my grandson will fall over.

So he used sandpaper to sand it little by little.

Then go to the river and dig out the finest sand to fill in the uneven areas.

The first thing I do every morning when I wake up is to feel every inch of the yard with my own feet.

Until every place has been thoroughly tested and verified.

But now.

He's old and useless now.

The hands that once fought the Japanese can no longer even protect an old woman.

They couldn't even protect their houses anymore.

He did not cry when his eldest son died.

When his second son died, he simply sat in the courtyard and smoked all night.

His youngest son didn't have the skills to cut down trees, and when he made a mistake, he thought it was God trying to take his life!

But my own kind-hearted old lady, who had never argued with me in her entire life.

He was kind his whole life.

Why is there no good reward?

Today, he's even selling his house.

Two streams of murky tears flowed down his wrinkled face.

It tasted bitter when it flowed into my mouth.

The old man, who had been stubborn his whole life, finally understood what the old woman meant by "a bitter life."

Lu Weiguo and Yuan Mengjie followed quietly.

We walked until dark.

He walked until he could walk no more.

"Grandpa, if you don't have anywhere to stay, you can stay in this house for now. We're not in a hurry to move in."

Lu Weiguo sat with the old man on the stone stool by the door.

With trembling hands, he lit a cigarette for the old man.

"No need. My wife is going to the provincial capital for medical treatment, so I'm going with her. It'll just be the two of us now. Wherever she is, that's home."

Three thousand yuan, wrapped in blue cloth, was stuffed into Old Zhou's arms.

Old Zhou clutched the three thousand yuan tightly, his body trembling violently.

"You're Old Li's son-in-law, aren't you? You...you're a good person."

Old Zhou recognized Lu Weiguo at this moment.

Although he didn't know his name, he had seen Li Guangrong showing off when he went to the graves during the Lunar New Year.

"Uncle Zhou, I'm sorry, I lied to you before. Please don't take it to heart."

"You are a good person, and your child is adorable. The Li family is truly blessed to have found such a son-in-law as you."

Old Zhou looked at Lu Weiguo with a face full of envy.

Since she had already been recognized, Yuan Mengjie stopped pretending.

They kept calling him "Uncle Zhou".

After helping Old Man Zhou into the house.

One helped pack the luggage, while the other started cooking.

It doesn't matter who you live with.

At this age, what man would sell his house or land to save his lover who has already been given a death sentence by the doctors?

Lu Weiguo didn't know if he could do it.

Yuan Mengjie also envied that the old lady she had never met could have such a lover to spend her whole life with.

Perhaps the two saw in them the life they longed for.

. . . . .

When the two finished helping Old Man Zhou cook.

It was already dark.

I saw Old Zhou leaning on his cane, heading to deliver food to the old lady.

The two of them went all the way to the end.

We rode our bicycles together to the hospital.

I passed by a fruit and vegetable stall near the hospital entrance.

Lu Weiguo sold two portions.

One copy was given to Mrs. Zhou, who was hospitalized.

The other person went directly to Lao Liu's ward after leaving.

Unlike Mrs. Zhou's chaotic six-person room.

As soon as the door to Lao Liu's hospital room was opened.

A strong smell of tobacco hit me right in the head.

The hospital room was filled with smoke, and the three people who had been involved in the accident were now sitting on the bed playing cards.

But that scene...

Old Liu had his head wrapped in gauze, with only one eye showing.

The other two were even more clumsy, holding the playing cards between their toes.

A hand wrapped in gauze, with only two fingers remaining, was holding a playing card!

Despite this, the cigarette in his mouth never stopped.

"What's wrong? You're on vacation, so carefree. Don't you know you can't smoke in the hospital?"

Lu Weiguo asked Yuan Mengjie to scare the group a little.

"Holy crap, it wasn't on purpose, I just lit it, I just lit it, and now it's dead."

The three people inside the room heard the voice and assumed it was the nurse on duty.

In a frantic rush to extinguish the cigarettes, people fell over one after another, and in an instant, there was another round of howling and screaming.

"Keep your voice down!!! What time is it?!"

Just then, the nurse's familiar voice rang out from outside. The three of them looked up together and saw Lu Weiguo and the other person who were about to burst out of their seats!

"Holy crap, you still have the nerve to come here!"

"Yes, look how badly we've fallen!"

"It's all your fault, damn it! Didn't you say no drinking and driving? Why didn't you stop us?!"

Two junior police officers, hopping on one leg, were about to deal with Lu Weiguo.

Only Old Liu sighed and threw the playing cards directly at Lu Weiguo's face.

Old Liu's leg wasn't injured, but his ankle was sprained.

"Do you think I can stop you? Don't you know what you're like after drinking? Isn't this perfect? ​​Consider it a holiday."

"Otherwise, I wouldn't have so much free time; you should be thanking me!"

Lu Weiguo dodged left and right, but his mouth never stopped, he kept mocking.

"Thanks my ass!! If we lost our jobs, we'd all go hunting with you!"

"Great, I couldn't be happier, but you guys smoke way too much. This room is no place for a human to stay."

Lu Weiguo asked Yuan Mengjie to open the window.

"You don't know anything! Does he feel pain if he doesn't smoke?"
