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

"Xiulian, do you want some potatoes? We have so many, the cellar is overflowing."

How about we share some with your family?

"what?"

Li Xiulian, who was standing at the door waiting for her husband, was stunned when she heard these words.

This neighbor, Aunt Wang, who never acts without expecting anything in return, has suddenly become so generous.

"Aunt Wang, no need. That's not good. We'll figure out a way to handle the share next year. It's fine."

With money and surplus grain at home, Li Xiulian, with her round, rosy face, spoke with more confidence.

"Hey! We're neighbors, it's no big deal. Why don't you just keep this at my place for now? You don't even have a cellar there, do you?"

I'll pay it all together with your share next year when you pay your share.

Aunt Wang rolled her eyes around and continued.

"No need! Come on, Jiacheng, Jiahuan, go inside and get those two pieces of pastry for your Grandma Wang."

"You'll have to rely on Grandma Wang for the needlework on your new clothes!"

Jia Cheng, who was playing in the snowdrift, heard this and took his sister's hand and went into the house.

That's one good thing about rural Northeast China; it's relatively easy to take care of children.

The mounds of dirt and snow in the yard were the children's favorite toys.

As long as the little one can start walking with a bouncy, bouncy gait.

Basically, you can let them roam freely in the yard.

The way children are cared for is completely different from how they are cared for in later generations.

Otherwise, in this day and age, you can have a whole litter of kids in one birth, and it doesn't seem tiring at all.

If a child is born in the future, the family of six, including the grandparents and maternal grandparents, will be exhausted from taking care of the child.

"Grandma, here you go!"

Lu Jiacheng generously handed two peach shortbreads to Aunt Wang from the fence.

However, judging from the small teeth marks on the peach shortbread, it was clear that the two children couldn't resist taking a bite.

But Aunt Wang didn't find it disgusting at all. After putting it away, she quickly wrapped it in a handkerchief and even picked up and ate the crumbs that fell out.

"Oh dear, this is terrible! Look, I didn't even deliver the gift, and I even took some from you!"

You can keep waiting for Weiguo to come back, or he can come to my house and help divide the money!

Li Xiulian smiled and nodded.

The weight of the hazel mushrooms varied, sometimes whole and sometimes loose, so in the end, you could always have a few cents left over when splitting the money.

Li Xiulian thought that Aunt Wang's enthusiasm was only for those little benefits.

So I didn't take it seriously.

He continued to hold the glass bottle in his arms, using his body to keep the hot water warm, waiting for Lu Weiguo to go to the county town.

Here.

When Aunt Wang got home, before she could even speak, Old Man Wang looked unwilling.

"Mom! You're trying to take advantage of me for such a small thing! I asked you to deliver something, not to ask for anything!"

Why didn't you deliver the potatoes, but brought back some peach shortbread instead! The position of the security chief isn't more important than your peach shortbread!

"Get out of here!" Aunt Wang glared at her youngest son.

"Are you out of your mind? I was just pretending to say something so you wouldn't offend the new leader. Did you really think I wanted to sabotage Lu Weiguo?"

That guy's demeanor is obviously no good; you'll ruin your life if you associate with him.

"A close neighbor is worse than a distant relative, and besides, Lu Weiguo is truly capable. I've even asked around; he really is with the supply and marketing cooperative..."

"Oh dear! Mom!" Before Aunt Wang could finish speaking.

Wang Laonian jumped off the earthen bed in a flash: "You just don't want me to be happy! If my brother made you do this, you'd be licking Lu Weiguo's dermatitis!!"

"Oh my god! You little brat!!!!"

Aunt Wang picked up a shovel to hit him, but Old Wang had already disappeared.

He's off fooling around with whoever he wants again.

Aunt Wang sighed, wanting to remind Li Xiulian.

He opened the door and saw that Old Zhao's daughter had arrived. He sighed and went inside to make peach shortbread for his wife.

Two pieces of peach shortbread, soaked in hot water, are warm and sweet when drunk.

There's no need to cook dinner then.

. . . . .

"Has Wei Guo not returned yet?"

Zhao Yangyang, carrying two White Rabbit milk candies, picked up the two children as soon as she entered the yard.

"Come and call her godmother!"

"Godmother!" Lu Jiacheng couldn't resist the temptation of White Rabbit candy, and tears involuntarily streamed down his face.

"Mom~~"

Lu Jiahuan is in an even worse situation because he can only call her "Mom," omitting even the word "god."

"Yang Yang, stop messing around. You're corrupting the child. Wei Guo said Jia Huan can't eat candy, it'll affect her intelligence."

"Wei Guo said, Wei Guo said, I think you're infatuated with Lu Wei Guo. If you really care about Lu Wei Guo, you should take the time to meet with your old classmate."

Zhao Yangyang said without turning his head.

"My husband, Weiguo, doesn't agree. Besides, he... he treats me..."

"But I'm here. Besides, Lu Weiguo is busy making money, he doesn't have time to care about you. And look how dangerous it is for Lu Weiguo to go up the mountain."

"If you don't work harder at home, I really want him to die in the mountains!" Zhao Yangyang said, picking up Lu Jiahuan.

She kept praising Lu Jia Huan for being cute, saying that what would happen to these two kids if they didn't have a father!

"I... I'll think about it."

Li Xiulian seemed to be persuaded, and her previous resolve was gone.

Especially when she thought about how Lu Weiguo actually encountered wolves on the mountain, the scales in her heart tipped even more towards Zhao Yangyang.

"Hmm, think about it again. The sun is about to set, and it's getting cold, so why don't you go back inside and wait?"

Wang Defa called me saying he had something to do, so I'll have to go over there first and won't be able to eat here.

Li Xiulian is so beautiful that many villagers are hesitant to speak to her.

He was afraid of being lectured by his wife when he got home.

Young kids would blush when they saw Li Xiulian.

So over the past few years, Zhao Yangyang has been my only friend.

However, I wasn't lonely during this time, as Liu Ermei came to help me every day.

However, the third and fourth sons of the Liu family only had underpants to wear, which couldn't withstand the outside temperature.

I haven't been here for the past few days.

"drive!!"

"Ooh ooh ooh ooh!"

Zhao Yangyang didn't leave for long.

Lu Weiguo drove the oxcart, pulling on the ox's tail, and finally managed to stop it in front of his house.

"Defend the country!"

"Xiulian!! Come inside quickly!!"

Lu Weiguo jumped off the oxcart, his arms bulging, and pulled Li Xiulian along, picking up the child and carrying them into the house.

After entering the room, Li Xiulian took out a bottle of hot water that still carried her body fragrance from her bosom.

Lu Weiguo then took out a meat bun that was still slightly warm.

The two men's movements were very similar.

It's all about love for each other.

"Jiacheng, eat these while they're hot! These are meat buns Grandma brought you! Honey, you should eat some too. We won't cook dinner tonight!"

When a child sees a meat bun, nothing else catches their eye.

Li Xiulian also picked up a meat bun and ate it in small bites.

The meat in the steamed buns was roe deer meat sent by Lu Weiguo.

To ensure the best taste, Wu Guifen specially chopped the meat into thin strips, making it incredibly flavorful and juicy with every bite.

Even Xiao Jia Huan, who can only eat the skin, squinted his eyes with delight at the aroma.

but.

When Lu Weiguo pulled out that big bag of small bills from his pocket.

Li Xiulian was so shocked she almost dropped the steamed bun in her hand!

"This...so many? Can those mushrooms really sell for this much money?"

"This is too much? It's all loose change! Look! This is what's truly ours!!"

As Lu Weiguo spoke, he placed a ten-yuan note neatly on the table.

Forty-five in total, not one missing!

There was even a stack of one-yuan notes belonging to the working people; those were the mushrooms that Lu Weiguo and Liu Dazhuang had picked.

Other people's mushrooms cost three cents a pound, but his mushrooms cost eight cents.

The mushrooms alone sold for over twenty yuan!
