Back to 1978: Getting rich starts with treasure hunting

"Cousin Lin Shu, I heard that you have to find a partner who can beat you first?"

After Ding Zaichun gathered the tables and chairs for the banquet, he saw Lin Shu sitting under a big tree at the door to cool off, so he sat down next to her.

Lin Shu turned around and glanced at him, frowning: "Who told you this nonsense?"

Ding Zaichun looked around and found no one nearby, so he whispered, "Hua Zi from the village said that he and you didn't go on a blind date. I heard that you want the person you want to date to be better than you first?"

After hearing this, Lin Shu suddenly realized, "You said Huazi is a weakling, right? Look at his skinny body, not even as tall as me. If I marry a man like this, will I protect him, or will he protect me?"

Apart from anything else, if something happened in the wild, would the man be able to carry her?

Ding Zaichun thought that Huazi didn't do farm work at home, and had to rest four or five times on his way home carrying water. He was indeed too weak.

"Cousin, I need to go to the bathroom, can you help me hold the baby?"

As they were talking, someone suddenly interrupted them. They turned around and found that it was Ding Zhongchun's wife, Lin Shu's eldest cousin and Ding Zaichun's sister-in-law.

Lin Shu nodded and smiled: "Okay."

Li Lan put the child in her arms and wanted to teach her how to hold the child, but she didn't expect Lin Shu to hold the child very well and very skillfully. She was a little surprised for a moment, then smiled and walked away.

This was the first time Ding Zaichun had seen his nephew. From birth to one month old, the boy had never left his bedroom. He looked at him curiously, "This boy looks chubby. Who does he resemble in terms of facial features?"

"In short, she either looks like my eldest cousin's wife or my eldest cousin."

Lin Shu reached into her sleeve and gently pinched the baby's hand. In fact, babies who are just one month old only eat and sleep, and they will not wake up unless they are hungry or have diarrhea.

The baby in my arms is chubby and can eat and sleep, so it is easier to take care of him. He sleeps very soundly in my arms.

The child couldn't resist the praise. I just thought he was a good boy, but the next moment he farted and the air was filled with a fishy smell.

"Oh, is my nephew pooping?" Ding Zaichun covered his mouth and nose.

Lin Shu lifted the baby slightly with both hands and hummed with a bad look on her face. In this era, babies use diapers, which are permeable. Lin Shu was afraid that the baby's poop would seep into her pants.

"Sister-in-law, my nephew has poop." Ding Zaichun didn't know what to do, and when he saw Li Lan coming from a distance, he hurriedly shouted.

"Did you poop?" Li Lan walked over quickly, took the child and asked Ding Zaichun to help get a basin of hot water.

She sat down holding the child and asked Lin Shu to go to the bedroom to get her a diaper.

Well, both of them were assigned tasks, and Lin Shu could only do it.

Ding Zaichun walked to the kitchen and saw Ding Zhongchun there, so he said, "Brother, your son has pooped, and your wife asked you to fetch a basin of hot water to wash it out."

"Oh, okay." Ding Zhongchun swiftly took the basin and fetched water.

Lin Shu saw a lot of diapers hanging on the bamboo poles in front of the house. Some of them were already dry, so he just pulled one off.

Seeing that it was her husband who brought the water, Li Lan asked, "Didn't you ask my second brother to fetch some water? Why are you here?"

"I just happened to meet you, so I brought it over." Ding Zhongchun smiled and gestured to Li Lan to help the child clean up quickly.

Lin Shu came over with a diaper. The child had already been cleaned. "My dear cousin, this is a diaper."

Li Lan took the diaper, pointed to the basin on the ground and the diaper in the basin, and ordered: "Cousin, please help me wash this diaper. This child has a lot of poop and pee. If you don't wash and dry the diaper quickly, there will be no diapers to use later."

Lin Shu glanced at the diaper with yellow excrement in the basin, frowned slightly, bent down, picked up the basin and stuffed it into Ding Zhongchun's arms, "Don't stand here and smile foolishly, being a father is not that easy, go wash your son's diaper quickly."

Both Ding Zhongchun and Li Lan looked at Lin Shu in shock.

Li Lan disagreed and said, "Cousin, I asked you to wash it, but why did you ask your older cousin, a grown man, to wash diapers? He has never done this before, so how could he wash it?"

"You have to learn how to wash even if you don't know how. As a father, he has to do something for the child. Otherwise, he would be an incompetent cheap father." Lin Shu smiled and motioned Ding Zhongchun to go and wash quickly.

"Washing diapers is no big deal, you just washed it, why do you let a man get involved?" Li Lan complained dissatisfiedly.

Lin Shu smiled and said, "Cousin, you will only spoil him. A man should be able to cook and work in the living room to be a good man. What's wrong with washing your son's diaper? You are not washing it for others. Big cousin, hurry up and stop dawdling."

Ding Zhongchun looked at the diaper floating in the basin. The yellow excrement on it was also floating up and down in the water, and suddenly he felt his scalp tingling.

Li Lan looked up at Ding Zhongchun with a gloomy face. She felt that the basin in his arms was particularly annoying. "Put it down. How can a grown man like you hold a fart basin?"

"Since your cousin's wife feels sorry for you, why don't you go and wash the baby? I don't mind sitting here and holding the baby for you for a while." Lin Shu said with a smile.

Her nonchalant look made Li Lan's chest rise and fall in anger. "No need, cousin, you are so lazy that you are unwilling to do such a simple thing. Who will dare to marry a lazy woman like you in the future?"

Lin Shu's smile faded, and he glanced at his eldest cousin who was standing next to him like a wooden stake, and snorted, "Don't worry about my affairs, cousin."

"You're not my biological sister, so I can't worry about you." Li Lan replied with a dark face, and stood up and shouted to her mother-in-law who was busy in front of the makeshift stove: "Mom, I want to coax the baby to sleep, can you help me wash this diaper."

"Okay, I'll go wash it right away, you go in and feed the baby first."

"You go ahead and do your thing. I'll go." Liu Xiao'e stopped her second sister. She could do such a small thing herself.

When Lin Shu heard the two sisters scrambling to wash diapers, she rolled her eyes speechlessly.

Out of sight, out of mind. Lin Shu asked Ding Zaichun for a small medicine hoe. It would be boring to stay at home, so he decided to go for a walk around the village.

In fact, the plants in the countryside are all similar. There are many herbs around the village, but they are all worth one or two cents. Lin Shu didn't mind them. He pulled them all out and sold them to the system, just as clearing weeds for Dingjia Village.

It was almost noon when firecrackers were heard in the village that Lin Shu walked back with his small medicine hoe.

The banquet at noon was more sumptuous than that of last night and this morning, but every dish was eaten up in seconds after being served.

After lunch, many guests who lived nearby said goodbye and left.

Lin Shu also wanted to leave, but there were no buses going to their village after noon, so he couldn't go back even if he wanted to.

In this day and age, visiting relatives means really visiting relatives. Transportation is inconvenient, and you often have to sleep for a night or two.

Although I can't go home, Dingjia Village is close to the county town, only ten miles away.

"What? You want to go to the county town?"

When Liu Xiao'e heard that Lin Shu wanted to go to the county town, her first reaction was to object, "No, it's already afternoon, how long can you spend in the county town? What if you get lost when you're unfamiliar with the place?"
