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

"You think pine nut oil is really that good?"

With Li Xiuhe gone, Wu Guifen finally had a chance to ask the question.

Previously, Lu Weiguo had asked Li Xiulian to talk to her mother-in-law about the benefits of pine nut oil whenever she had free time.

This is just like those who sell health products in later generations; they certainly didn't believe it at first.

But the more you hear and think about it, the less guarded you become.

Gradually, I came to accept these things that were beyond my comprehension.

"Really, just think about it, aren't the squirrels in the mountains smart? And even if this thing doesn't bring any benefits to people..."

But it's still oil, so it won't make you sick, right?

With a stone mill, grinding pine nuts for oil can be put on the agenda.

Moreover, oil is precious these days, and pine nut oil can still make babies smarter.

Things that improve a pregnant woman's health, make childbirth smoother, and increase milk production.

Even if it sells for more than gold, wouldn't people with pregnant women or children at home think about it?

When the time comes, the phrase "Let children not lose at the starting line" will be widely known.

Go ahead and do this business, but there are certain risks involved.

If someone were to take it seriously, it really would be considered speculation and profiteering.

"Don't try to fool me, kid. I've already told all my old comrades and colleagues about it."

If you manage to produce a few bottles in a few days, send them to me. I'll see if I can sell them.

This thing is definitely safer than hunting in the mountains; those things are like those Japanese devils I killed.

They're so quick; they seem to appear out of nowhere.

Wu Guifen seemed lost in memories, becoming increasingly sentimental as she spoke.

"I understand, Mom. Don't worry, with you and Xiulian thinking of me..."

I have my family on my mind, so I definitely won't take any risks.

"That's fine then." Wu Guifen had been on the battlefield before and knew that no matter what she did, there was no safe place.

That's why we're doing our best to help this ambitious young man.

"These are the meat buns I made. Take them back for the two children." Wu Guifen stood up and patted Lu Weiguo's arm heavily.

The force was so great that even Lu Weiguo was a little overwhelmed: "Good boy, of all these sons-in-law, you're the one I like the most. You're honest, hardworking, and know how to work hard."

He's a proletarian fighter! He's a true Northeasterner! The past is the past; a prodigal son's return is priceless. As long as you're willing to work hard, I'll support you!

really!

Wu Guifen always knew how beastly he had been the previous year.

Despite this, they continued to help him.

"Okay, Mom!"

Lu Weiguo nodded firmly, his eyes welling up with tears.

The stone mill is heavy, but it's not as heavy as my mother-in-law's trust!

Who says there is no family affection left in this world?

Perhaps in later generations, everyone would be looking out for their own interests, and marrying off a daughter would be seen as selling her.

They look at their son-in-law as if he were an enemy.

But in this day and age, as long as you can agree to your mother's demands, she's considered her own son.

The stone roller was moved onto the oxcart.

Before leaving, Lu Weiguo briefly mentioned the children's future schooling.

Wu Guifen patted her chest and agreed: "That little brat is causing more and more trouble. They are my grandson and granddaughter. How can I not care?"

Get lost! Seeing you is a problem!

After leaving his mother-in-law's house, Lu Weiguo felt completely relaxed.

He was always worried that there might be things he couldn't talk to his mother-in-law about, and that Wu Guifen openly liked him.

Like Li Xiuhe, he would talk nonsense to his wife Xiulian behind her back.

This is just like whispering in someone's ear; the speaker means it, and the listener takes it to heart.

The resolute decision Li Xiulian made in her previous life was like a stone, always weighing on his heart.

Now Li Xiulian has something to look forward to in the future.

Now that my mother-in-law is settled, all I need to do is work hard to earn money.

Just make sure my wife and kids have a better life!

As long as things are stable at home, men will only work hard to earn money, and they will be willing to endure any hardship or fatigue!

. . . . . .

Fendou Village, Accounting Office.

A tin stove was burning inside the house, and a long chimney led out through the window.

Zhang Dexing held the teacup, blowing on the tea leaves while letting the hot water sizzle.

Beside the stove, Wu Jian, Wang Laonian, and several other former militia members squatted together.

I listened to Wu Jian explaining the latest policies.

"Who wants to be the security chief? Anyone who follows our cadre Zhang will definitely get the position!"

"Public security? What's that? We don't know how to make a treasure!"

Wang Laonian was only focused on eating the roasted peanuts on the stove. Wu Jian talked until his lips were sore, but he still didn't understand what the security captain meant.

"Did I fucking say I was doing this for a baby?! Security, security, and maintenance!!"

Wu Jian was so angry he was practically fuming.

"And what's that?"

Another young man, Wang Defa, asked if he had worked with Zhao Yangyang to set a trap for Lu Weiguo to gamble.

Lu Weiguo has reformed his ways. He's penniless and starving, so he has no time to listen to this stuff.

"Alright, alright, Wu Jian, stop babbling. Do you think they can understand what you're saying?"

They didn't even finish the third grade combined." Zhang Dexing looked at these people with disdain in his eyes.

They were all either petty thugs or lazy bums who cheated and shirked their duties.

However, in order to gain a foothold in the village, he patiently repeated it again.

"The village security team leader is not much different from the old militia team leader. Whatever disputes or problems arise in the village, they will be there."

The security team leader handled it all.

"What are the benefits?" Wang Laonian finally understood.

Seeing that the others had finally shown interest, Zhang Dexing calmly blew on the tea leaves, didn't drink any water, and subconsciously spat them out.

Then he slowly and deliberately said, "You can get points without doing anything."

These words were spoken.

Everyone's eyes lit up.

"So... besides that captain, like a militia, do they have any members?" Wang Defa asked, his eyes wide.

"No, there's only one security team leader, who's basically like the women's director. He doesn't have any subordinates, but his word carries weight."

"I'll do it!"

"Damn it!!"

"Damn it! You guys are just robbing me for a pittance, I'll be the militia captain if we all agree, I'll do it!"

"The militia has been disbanded, what are you pretending to be so arrogant about!"

"Exactly! How about we draw lots? That's fair!"

Seeing that these people were about to start fighting.

Wu Jian and Zhang Dexing exchanged a glance, their eyes full of smiles.

Security team leader, that's just a title.

In order to reduce trouble, some villages specifically give positions to the village chief's children or some irresponsible people.

You can apply to the commune, and if it's approved, you'll receive a salary.

Moreover, the commune also preferred that the villagers govern themselves.

After all, the fewer police officers there are, the fewer troubles the commune will have.

Wu Jian saw that the argument was getting out of hand and that if he didn't intervene, they would start fighting.

Then he clapped his hands and stood up: "Actually, choosing who the security captain is is very simple."

Logically, a vote by the entire village is necessary, but since it's ultimately about our own people...

"Whoever among you can find evidence of Lu Weiguo's speculation and profiteering will become the security captain. The rest are up to us."
