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

As soon as Lu Weiguo returned to the village, almost everyone in the village knew about it.

After all, they were all eagerly waiting for the money from selling hazelnut mushrooms.

Knowing that there were children in his family, and fearing that they might frighten them, representatives from each family gathered at Aunt Wang's house.

Seeing Li Xiulian carefully divide the 476.58 yuan into two portions and put them away.

Lu Weiguo then took the other bag of money and went out.

We haven't even entered Aunt Wang's house yet.

Many people greeted him warmly.

"Weiguo, are you freezing?"

"Here, have a smoke. This is Hongmei, everyone in the county smokes this stuff."

"Why didn't you stay home for a while after you just got back? I knew you were capable!"

Lu Weiguo took the cigarette, tucked it behind his ear, and chuckled, teasing, "Uncle Pan, if I stay home a little longer, aren't you getting anxious and stressed?"

"Ha ha ha ha!!!"

Laughter erupted in the courtyard instantly.

Since everyone who came was a man, dividing the money was easy.

The receipts issued by the supply and marketing cooperatives clearly show the weight and price.

There are losses when selling goods. After deducting a few ounces from each family's mushrooms, Aunt Wang started to calculate the losses one by one with an abacus.

The lively atmosphere was almost like Chinese New Year!

Aunt Wang was afraid that these rough men would take the money to gamble and do bad things.

They even wrote down how much each store sold for on a piece of paper, just to keep a record.

Signature for change.

It's almost exactly the same as how the village distributes censuses.

Even if you've never eaten pork, you've at least seen a pig run.

Without Lu Weiguo's command, they all lined up and calculated their meager income.

"Old Pan, three yuan and seventy cents! Sign here!"

"Old Sun, you have a lot, five yuan and sixty cents! Oh my god, now we can have a good New Year!"

"And you, don't try to grab it. You'll be responsible if the gun breaks. It's only two yuan and one jiao. Work harder in the fall. You're not that old, and now you're already eyeing it..."

These men, who usually have to be careful with even a simple cornbread and wouldn't dare to eat three meals a day if they weren't working, were laughing more heartily than anyone else at this moment.

Don't underestimate this small amount of money; it's a timely help, much more than what that young man who collected the goods gave.

These few hot coins, once stuffed into my pocket, are the best shot in the arm.

If this continues every year, these men will tear anyone who dares to say a bad word about Lu Weiguo to pieces and feed them to the dogs!

After wear and tear, all the remaining coins belonged to Aunt Wang.

Lu Weiguo didn't bother to argue.

Being able to get a share at Aunt Wang's house was already a help to him.

At this time, the men's voices were louder than ever!

The deafening noise startled Aunt Wang's old hen so much that she stopped laying her egg.

It was holding it in, so it kept clucking.

This can be considered a small compensation.

but.

It's getting lively here.

It was evening by then.

Li Xiulian lulled the two children to sleep.

Lu Weiguo had just gotten into a ready position when Li Xiulian helped him hold onto the headboard.

Lu Jia Huan, who was already able to sleep through the night, burst into tears.

"Damn! Girl, you don't want a younger brother, do you?"

Lu Weiguo pulled up his pants, went over and picked up Lu Jiahuan.

But as soon as his hands touched Lu Jiahuan's face, all the lustful thoughts in his head subsided!

It's too hot to handle!

"Honey, hurry up and get dressed, Jia Huan has a fever!!"

"Oh! She was perfectly fine just now! I didn't feel hot when I was putting her to sleep!"

Li Xiulian didn't even have time to fasten her clothes properly.

There wasn't even time to wipe Lu Weiguo's drool off the baby food bag.

He bent down, about to bring it to Lu Jiahuan's lips.

"Waaaaahh ...

Previously, no matter how much a child cried, as long as they had breast milk, it was a sure-fire solution.

This time, it had no effect at all.

Lu Jia Huan struggled in agony, even scratching his soft flesh until it bled.

Lu Weiguo was heartbroken!

"Wife, Jia Huan is feeling unwell and won't eat. I'll get some warm water, and you can gently wipe her body down a little bit to lower her fever first."

I'm going to find a doctor!

"Jiacheng, wake up, help Mom change the warm water."

Physical cooling?

Li Xiulian didn't understand, but she still followed Lu Weiguo's instructions and did as he said.

"Use warm water, and make sure the towel isn't too dry. Wipe gently, paying attention to the forehead, chest, back, and even the soles of the little feet..."

Lu Weiguo was still worried and gave the instructions several more times.

These are all more scientific methods used in later generations; people in this era hardly ever used them.

At this time, "fire wine" is generally suitable for children with fever.

It's basically wiping your body with lit liquor.

This method is suitable for older children, but Lu Jiahuan is only a little over one year old, and rubbing her with alcohol would irritate her skin.

"Okay~ Go on your way!"

When his child fell ill for the first time after his rebirth, Lu Weiguo was genuinely panicked.

His wife and children are equally important to him.

He didn't want his closest person to suffer any harm.

"Oh dear! What's wrong with my eldest granddaughter? Why is she crying?!"

Before Lu Weiguo could leave, Lu Dewang, limping, was helped in by Liu Yuqin.

The two had just come out of Aunt Wang's house after settling accounts when they heard the neighbor's child crying.

Unable to resist, he rushed in.

"Mom and Dad! What brings you here? Jia Huan has a slight fever!"

"My granddaughter has a fever? Oh my god! Let me take a look!" Lu Dewang exclaimed upon hearing that something had happened to his beloved granddaughter.

After all, grandparents and grandchildren are the closest to each other.

He was about to rush into the house when he said that.

"Xiulian's clothes aren't on properly, Dad, wait a minute. Let Mom go in first to help. He tells you to go in first, then you can come in."

"Mom, please keep an eye on things for me. I'll go find a doctor first."

"Doctor! What's the use of seeing a doctor? Go see Old Mrs. Chang! The child is crying so loudly, it's obviously haunted!"

Lu Dewang grabbed Lu Weiguo.

He offers advice based on his more than 50 years of experience!

"Dad, stop making things worse. It's like something's possessed by an evil spirit. Just stay here quietly!"

The cries of a beloved daughter are a death knell for her father.

At this point, Lu Weiguo wouldn't care about anything else.

"You brat, how dare you talk to me like that? Hey!! Slow down!!" Before Lu Dewang could finish speaking, Lu Weiguo rushed out.

"When you were little, whenever you had a fever, it was always Old Mrs. Chang who would take care of you. She'd take some millet, put it in a bowl and swirl it around a few times, or she'd stand a chopstick upright in water."

If all else fails, go burn some paper money at the village entrance and send it off. What good will seeing a doctor do?

If Lu Weiguo were here, he would definitely marvel at how lucky he is to be alive.

In this day and age, most idiocy is related to fever.

Either the fever wasn't treated in time.

Either the doctor gave the child too much medication.

On the contrary, those diseases that are difficult to treat in later generations cannot be detected in this era anyway.

I never felt any problems until I died of old age!
