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

Huang He is very efficient.

Lu Weiguo had not yet found out from the gatekeeper of the county committee compound what major events had recently occurred in the county.

Huang He, with his dog-like nose, found it by following the scent.

"Wow, you know some big shots in the county committee? You're something else, kid. With that kind of connection, you don't even need to get tickets?"

Those votes are just worthless pieces of paper to these leaders; they have drawers full of them.

Huang He's words may be rough, but the principle is sound.

He had never seen any leader's relatives lack tickets or food.

Although it is said that this is all supplied on demand, it is clear that the leaders' relatives have a larger demand.

"A relative of mine cleans here," Lu Weiguo replied without thinking.

"That's fine too. They're paid by the government too. I heard that the old woman who cooks there has never bought any groceries."

Huang He stared intently at Lu Weiguo's expression.

However, Lu Weiguo spoke as if it were the truth: "That's right, these beasts have no idea how much farmers suffer."

After a few words, he still couldn't be sure whether what Lu Weiguo said was true or false.

After the two got into the oxcart, Huang He then explained the specifics of the situation.

Huang He found readily available bricks, tiles, and even the black asphalt tarpaulin for the roof.

However, it wasn't new; it was pulled from a state-owned factory.

Nearly new, used, price is half that of a new one.

However, it needs to be transported at night, and it can be delivered to Fendou Village in the middle of the night.

Lu Weiguo laughed when he heard that.

This is blatant theft!

The large-scale closures and layoffs of state-owned factories in the 1990s were simply because all the workers considered the state-owned factories their home.

The screw thief.

The soy sauce manufacturer steals soy sauce and MSG.

Even the pharmaceutical factory would take extra semi-finished products back with them, taking a couple of pills whenever they felt like it, afraid of being taken advantage of.

This Yellow Crane was even more impressive; he could even steal bricks and tiles.

"Sure!"

Lu Weiguo didn't ask about the condition of the bricks and tiles; he agreed immediately after hearing the price.

After agreeing on the price, Lu Weiguo exchanged several industrial tickets and two sewing tickets.

Liu Dazhuang was seen being escorted out by the woman with a smile on her face.

Lu Weiguo knew that this woman had once again been conquered by Dazhuang's extraordinary talent.

"Hey bro, come over whenever you have time, I'll cook for you!"

Liu Dazhuang saw Lu Weiguo but didn't even turn his head.

But the woman didn't care at all, and continued to gaze at Dazhuang's back with a flirtatious look in her eyes.

look!

This is strength.

If you want to persuade a young lady to reform, you either need to be rich or capable.

Like Zhang Dexing, all you do is freeload; you don't want to give anything in return.

All they have is their mouth!

That's just rather naive.

Everything that needed to be done has been done.

With Liu Dazhuang by his side, it was inconvenient for him to visit his mother-in-law.

The two then bought some candies and pastries from the supply and marketing cooperative.

They drove the oxcart back to Fendou Village, completely satisfied.

"Where's the money?"

Back home, Li Xiulian, that little miser, stretched out her hand to Lu Weiguo.

"No.."

Lu Weiguo gave an awkward smile and recounted the events of the day.

"Sister Yuan wants it, then husband, what you did is perfect."

Li Xiulian has this advantage: after all, she graduated from high school, and her understanding is much stronger than that of ordinary rural women.

Some truths don't need to be explained.

"Oh, by the way, honey, try this outfit on. I made it for you based on the latest style from the county. There's also one for Dazhuang."

You two are now the pillars of the family, and our family's situation has improved. We should let everyone know, so that the man won't lose face.

As Li Xiulian spoke, she took out two sets of new clothes from the house.

The style is a standard Zhongshan suit.

The lining fabric was the same fabric that Lu Weiguo had bought for Li Xiulian last time.

She couldn't bear to use them herself, so she saved them all for her husband.

For her, as long as she has clothes to wear, that's enough; she's focused on domestic matters.

But men are the face of the family, so they must be well-fed and well-dressed.

"You know, everyone carries a sedan chair, and the richer you are, the smoother things go. I understand that principle." This time, Lu Weiguo did not refuse.

He and the village chief snatched the gold beans from the spy.

He did not tell Li Xiulian.

I'll find a chance to exchange those gold beans for money.

At least ten pieces of clothing should be bought for Li Xiulian.

The man represents the family.

But a man's facade is his woman.

For Lu Weiguo, it's better to make the women around him dress well than to dress well himself.

"A sedan chair carried by many people"—that saying is so true.

Li Xiulian nodded in approval.

Before they could even have a hot meal...

Outside the gate, the newly recruited henchman Wang Defa shouted in his hoarse voice, "Comrades, the meeting is at three o'clock this afternoon. Each family must send at least one representative."

They arrived at the gate of Lu Wei's country.

He added another sentence.

"Fools don't count; they don't have to come."

Lu Weiguo was about to get up and go to the brigade; he hadn't originally planned to bring Liu Dazhuang with him.

Upon hearing this, she not only pulled Liu Dazhuang along, but also made him change into new clothes!

He put on a dark green military overcoat as the outermost layer.

At first glance, he really is a handsome young man.

Transportation relied mainly on walking, and communication relied mainly on shouting.

Before long, the whole village was staggering toward the brigade.

When they arrived at the brigade's courtyard, everyone's gaze towards Lu Weiguo and his companion changed.

The gray Zhongshan suits made the two of them look like commune leaders.

Especially that fool who was looked down upon by everyone.

The house was burned down a few days ago.

I heard that less than a week has passed.

The village chief then began to help with the application for a homestead.

Because Liu Dazhuang had also joined the commune last time.

The land he applied for for homesteading is now his own.

This is so much better than the life we ​​had before.

Could it be that this is the benefit of following Lu Weiguo?

The village chief sighed as he looked at the two who stood out from the crowd, assuming they had traded the gold beans for the clothes, and inwardly cursed them for being wasteful!

Zhang Dexing looked at the military overcoat, his expression shifting between light and dark, since the coat resembled the one worn by the woman's ex-husband in the county.

If that's really the case?

Does that mean he and Liu the Fool are now connected?

Thinking of this, Zhang Dexing couldn't help but shudder.

He only came to his senses after being patted on the shoulder by the village chief.

"Ahem! The commune has issued a notice that we'll be having a group study session today!"

Zhang Dexing's voice wasn't loud, as if he was imitating that kind of imposing and authoritative aura.

But after I finished speaking, I waited for a long time and no one applauded.

After shouting it out again at the top of his lungs, everyone finally understood.

Sparse applause rang out in the conference room.

"First of all, the commune has issued a notice that there is a fugitive murderer who seems to be hiding in the mountains. Everyone should be extra careful and report any clues immediately."

This is a notice from the commune, and I'll discuss it with the village chief...

As Zhang Dexing finished speaking, he looked at Lu Weiguo.

"For the safety of the brigade, from now on, hunting in the mountains is prohibited until the murderer is caught! Otherwise, it will be considered a violation of the collective interest!"

Hunting in the mountains is prohibited?

Is going up the mountain still prohibited?

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately realized what was happening.

Is it alright to go up the mountain?

Going hunting in the mountains is out of the question!

Is this clearly targeting only Lu Weiguo?
