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

"Dazhuang, there's a squirrel's nest over there. Go up and get some hazelnuts!"

"Brother Weiguo, my arm hurts."

"A little exercise will make it go away, men don't make a fuss about that."

The two wandered around the mountain all day, but they didn't see any badgers.

I didn't even see a rabbit, I don't know if it's because of the lynx that was following me.

No animals, big or small, can be found.

After all, one cannot go to Hunter's Mountain empty-handed.

That's when the two of them decided to target the squirrel.

squirrel:?????

For two consecutive days, Lu Weiguo insisted on sending bear meat to the lynx every day.

Whether it's bear bones or bear internal organs.

Lynxes eat food with great relish as long as it's cooked.

Furthermore, Lu Weiguo also experimented with two different dishes: one was cooked bear meat, and the other was cooked wild boar meat.

The lynx would choose the bear meat first, which can be considered as it was fed by Lu Weiguo that it became picky about food!

That evening, as soon as the two returned home, they saw a large bag of cornmeal placed at the door.

Inside the house, Li Xiulian and Liu Ermei were having a terrible headache with Liu's child.

The liveliness at home far exceeded Lu Weiguo's expectations.

"Honey, what's going on? Are we out of food?"

Lu Weiguo glanced at the bag of cornmeal, rubbed it with his hands, and found it damp with black specks inside.

It's clearly stock stored deep inside the warehouse.

Basically, if you don't finish eating it this winter, it will get infested with worms, and you won't be able to eat it after spring.

"No, these all belong to Dazhuang's family. It's some kind of subsidy from the village. They'll also get some extra points when they build their houses next spring," Li Xiulian recalled.

"Who delivered it?"

"Wu Jian, Zhao Yangyang was also there when I arrived, but he left after a while because the house was too noisy."

Lu Weiguo nodded upon hearing this.

Thinking to myself, it's a good thing that things are in turmoil at home; at least that bastard Zhao Yangyang won't come.

Thinking of this, Lu Weiguo looked at Liu Dazhuang.

She pulled him aside and asked curiously, "How many days has it been since you and Sister-in-law Huifang did 'that'?"

"You mean Gu Qiu? Hehehe, she's injured, you know. We haven't had Gu Qiu around for the past few days. My sister-in-law won't let us; she says we can get her back to normal after she recovers."

"He told me to use my right hand to do it for him."

Liu Dazhuang made no attempt to hide anything from Lu Weiguo.

"So, do you want to...?"

"I miss her! I think about her every day, my mind is filled with thoughts of Sister Huifang!"

"Alright! You'll do this tonight!"

Lu Weiguo took a large piece of bear leg meat from the pot, and then went to the shed to pack a small bag of dried meat strips.

This method is similar to that of beef jerky in later generations.

One pound of bear meat yields two to three ounces.

The spicy flavor is perfect for pairing with alcohol.

"Dazhuang, where are you going? Dinner's almost ready, why are you leaving?"

Li Xiulian tidied up the house and watched Liu Dazhuang push open the door and leave with his things.

"Sister-in-law, I'm going to find Sister Huifang and Gu Qiu. Hehe, don't wait for me tonight!"

"Huh? Huh!! Dazhuang, are you crazy! You're going to his house? What about Wu Jian..." Li Xiulian was dumbfounded when she heard this.

Is this awkward?

You stole someone else's wife. The whole village disapproves of Wu Jian, and they're already being kind by covering it up for you.

Now you're going to her house to see Gu Qiu, right in front of her husband? Isn't that a bit too much?

"Wife, don't listen to his nonsense. Wasn't this cornmeal that Wu Jian brought?"

Although it wasn't much, the village officials were thinking of us, so we should at least go and thank them. It's not like we can't afford it.

Lu Weiguo quickly stepped forward to explain, afraid that Liu Dazhuang would let something slip.

"That's true, Weiguo, you're thinking too much, but it's probably the right thing to do, you're a father of two now."

One should be more tactful in dealing with people; otherwise, I feel insecure dealing with everyone.

Seeing the change in Lu Weiguo, Li Xiulian stepped forward and wiped his forehead with a handkerchief.

Her eyes and heart were filled with love and respect for her husband.

For a woman to truly love a man, she must look up to him; only then can the relationship last.

Otherwise, women will always be worrying and working harder than their own men.

Those days certainly won't last long.

Now, Li Xiulian is gradually shedding her high school student identity and has begun to idolize Lu Weiguo.

"Yes, don't worry. With your husband around, you'll definitely become more and more tactful and won't be able to do things with just anyone. You'll have plenty of security from now on."

Now there are four more mouths to feed in the family, and they are still four mouths that can eat.

The pots and pans at home never stopped cooking.

Cornbread, corn porridge, and refined rice.

Moreover, there are never any leftovers at home, and we hardly know what leftovers are anymore.

the other side.

"Bang bang bang!"

A series of urgent knocks sounded on the door.

"Who is it, so late at night!"

Li Huifang reluctantly came out to open the door, and when she saw that it was Liu Dazhuang, she panicked instantly, even though she was still frowning.

"Dazhuang! What are you doing here? What are you doing here? Are you crazy? Tomorrow, can't you come to my house tomorrow? Get out of here!!"

Li Huifang was really anxious.

He kept hitting Liu Dazhuang's injured arm with the spatula in his hand.

If it weren't for the training Lu Weiguo gave him these past two days, he might have actually been beaten away.

"Sister-in-law Huifang, I've come to see Brother Wu Jian."

"You won't listen to me, will you! If you don't leave, I... I... I beg you, please don't hurt Sister-in-law Huifang. I'll take good care of you tomorrow, okay?"

Li Huifen was on the verge of tears, but Liu Dazhuang was exceptionally gifted; there was no doubt about that.

But she's so stubborn, there's no way to change her mind!

"Who is it, Huifang? Why aren't you coming inside?"

"Nobody here~~~"

Li Huifang spoke with a sob in her voice.

"Hehehe, Brother Wu Jian, it's me, Da Zhuang. I've come to thank you. Sister-in-law Hui Fang said I was dirty and wouldn't let me into the house."

"Holy crap, has this idiot finally figured it out today?"

Upon hearing that it was Liu Dazhuang, Wu Jian, with a cigarette dangling from his lips and slippers shuffling along, came out.

Under the lights, Wu Jian was hunched over, his body steaming, looking like he was watching a monkey show.

"Hey Wu Jian, if it weren't for you, my family wouldn't have that much cornmeal. So, we got some wild game from the mountains for you to try."

"Wild game? Does Lu Weiguo know about it?"

Upon hearing this, a shadow fell over Wu Jian's eyes.

"I don't know. He is him, and I am me. You were helping me, and I know in my heart whether it's good or bad."

Upon hearing this, Li Huifang looked at Liu Dazhuang with disbelief, as if she had reassessed this fool.

Even after being bumped by Liu Dazhuang, he didn't react in time.

On the contrary, Wu Jian was particularly happy to hear this, as if his kindness and design to Liu Dazhuang had been rewarded.

"Come in! Come on in, let me try some wild game. We happen to have some wine, I'll have a couple of sips!"

Bear meat, bear ribs, and dried bear meat jerky.

Honestly, with just these dishes, even someone who doesn't drink alcohol could easily drink two ounces of baijiu (Chinese liquor).

Wu Jian took a bite of the beef jerky and was instantly captivated by its spicy, numbing, and savory flavor.

With a bite of dried meat and a sip of wine, without Liu Dazhuang even having to persuade him, Umbrella Basket downed half a jin of liquor!
