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

"Brother Weiguo!!"

The little girl's mind was already filled with thoughts of Lu Weiguo.

The half-eaten bun was placed directly on the table.

She got up and rushed over to give Lu Weiguo a hug.

Perhaps because she had eaten too fast, she let out a burp as soon as she got next to Lu Weiguo.

It made everyone laugh.

Bai Jie was overjoyed to see Lu Weiguo, but the elegant woman still got up and paid for the meals at both tables first.

Then he walked over at a leisurely pace.

"An old friend is back?"

"Yeah, I went to Shanghai to see my wife, and then something came up here so I rushed back."

Lu Weiguo replied with a smile, curiously sizing up the two of them.

Seeing this, Meng Fanjiao hurriedly explained, "Brother Weiguo, I didn't plan to go with Sister Bai. It's just that the steel mill has been in complete chaos lately, and I haven't been able to keep up."

"Let's go! Let's go home first."

A woman's room should be clean.

Especially dignified women like Bai Jie.

What was originally a warehouse, an incredibly messy room, was cleaned spotless by the two of them.

Both small beds, pushed together, had pink sheets on them.

It also revealed Bai Jie's more feminine side.

"Chaos? Aren't there solutions to everything? How can it still be chaotic?"

"You've only just gotten back and you're already talking like that. You'll scare the little girl again."

Bai Jie stepped forward, standing in front of Meng Fanjiao, and helped explain, "Actually, it's not a big deal. It's just that these people have been in the system for too long, and suddenly they're starting to reform and find their own way."

I'm finding it a bit difficult to adjust. Although your method for making lightweight tools is good, isn't there a simpler approach like a dual-track system? There's constant internal strife.

The employees don't want to work either, and she's just an assistant with no say in anything, so there's nothing she can do.

"It's not just that..."

Lu Weiguo looked at Meng Fanjiao, who was sticking out her tongue, and continued to ask.

Even if the steel rolling mill is in disrepair, that's still something Zhao Kaishan cares about.

But Meng Fanjiao's shift was already due, so there was no need for her to stay there any longer.

"I was just helping with the accounting. Internally, things were chaotic, and externally, there were debts, especially the unpaid entertainment expenses from before. Previously, the county committee had always been there to help, but now it's all self-sufficient."

"I can't pay the debts, so I'm being pushed out and blocked from leaving."

Entertainment expenses? Public funds used for meals and drinks?

How could this possibly have anything to do with the guesthouse?

Lu Weiguo was always thinking about future development paths and plans.

But after hearing these words, he felt for the first time that if he wanted to develop, he had to start by governing from within.

Corruption is the biggest cancer.

I never expected that being transferred to the guesthouse would have this benefit.

"And you? Why are you still here?"

"Me? Isn't this your fault?!" Bai Jie squinted at Lu Weiguo, as if to say that she was blaming him.

"It's my fault? Why?"

"You won't let me pursue the dual-track system, but many others are eyeing this lucrative opportunity. Can't I just stay out of it and get the scraps?"

After Bai Jie learned about the ins and outs of these state-owned factories,

They learned of Lu Weiguo's predicament.

Right now, it seems to be just a matter of internal and external troubles, but the internal situation is barely holding on.

But when the internal support can no longer hold, it will definitely lead to the top.

Moreover, the reform pilot programs have been very successful in their reform experiments.

These issues will inevitably be brought to light sooner or later, and she doesn't believe her background can withstand the consequences.

However, it's still okay to have a sip of soup along with it.

"You've always been trying to be clever, always choosing the right path over the right one. Fine, do whatever you want, I don't care, but you can't lead the young girl astray."

The group hadn't seen each other for a long time.

We talked for a long time about everything under the sun.

After going to the big city, Lu Weiguo had more ideas about the future development of Danjiang County.

His ideas are too grandiose, but impractical.

Only by embracing the advancements of this era can the trajectory of development be perfectly closed.

As it got later and later, he realized it was no longer appropriate for him to stay in the woman's boudoir.

He said to report it as soon as possible.

So he went back to the new house he had bought in the county town.

The house is still the same, but it's obvious that no one has come to help clean it.

The next day, after finally getting a good night's sleep, Lu Weiguo first drove his tractor to the forest farm.

As soon as we arrived at Xiao Lü's house, we saw Section Chief Liang helping to clean the yard.

Upon seeing Lu Weiguo return, Section Chief Liang almost burst into tears.

As if seeing a savior, they hurriedly welcomed Lu Weiguo into the house.

"Xiao Lu, thank you." Xiao Lu's wife looked much better when she saw Lu Weiguo enter the house.

The first thing to do is kneel down and express your gratitude.

"No, sister-in-law, don't be silly. Being kowtowed to by someone your own age will shorten your lifespan." Lu Weiguo stepped forward to help Xiao Lü's wife up.

"The Lu family's wife already told you not to do this. Brother Weiguo is a good person and can't just abandon you. You should go inside and take care of the children. You don't need to worry about anything else."

Section Chief Liang stepped forward and pushed Xiao Lü's wife into the house.

Then he handed over a cigarette.

He complained, "Why did you take so long to get here? If you hadn't come soon, I wouldn't have been able to work at the forest farm anymore. Everyone'd be saying I was keeping a mistress on the side!"

"Haha, that's great! You're so strong and healthy, you're even more energetic than a young person!"

"Get out of here, what do you say? Do you have any ideas?"

Seeing Section Chief Liang's anxious expression, Lu Weiguo asked calmly, "How have things been these past few days? Have their family members come to cause trouble again?"

"Ugh! Don't even mention it. The people at your station did a good job educating him, but it only lasted a few days. They came causing trouble again yesterday."

They insisted on taking all the resettlement money, threatening to sue me if I didn't, and even claiming I had something to do with someone's posthumous child.

Even if you're not here, you can marry that young Lu wife to me. I'm already so old, and my child is almost as old as her!

But if I say too much, my wife won't be happy! So we're at a stalemate.

"They're just bored," Lu Weiguo said with a sneer. "This family is just bored out of their minds. Why don't they cause trouble during the busy farming season?"

"Of course! The busy farming season is over, everyone else is fine, but I can't. This is the busiest time for logging. If you don't come, I won't be able to support myself here!"

"That's why I say you're a good person!" Lu Weiguo stuffed a pack of cigarettes, a local specialty he'd brought from Shanghai, into his hand before asking, "Section Chief Liang, you said... I need to find some work for their family so they won't bother us anymore, right?"

"Damn it! That family is lazy and good-for-nothing, they can't do anything right!!" Section Chief Liang felt nauseous just thinking about that family.

"Isn't that what you're here for..."

"No!! Don't push me onto them!!"

"Let me finish speaking first!!" Lu Weiguo was incredibly forceful, grabbing Liang, who was trying to run away, and refusing to let go.

"Alright, alright!! Go ahead, go ahead, but let me tell you, having the forestry department arrange jobs for them is absolutely unacceptable!!"
