Having dealt with the street-level garment factory two months prior, Luo Yu, familiar with the process, approached the deputy factory director.

When the deputy factory director heard that Luo Yu had come because of the social gathering, he was immediately delighted.

“We don’t have many people in our factory, but most of them are young girls who aren’t dating yet. These girls are good kids, quick and efficient and filial, but their families aren’t well-off. Comrade Luo, you should help us out!”

The deputy factory director personally poured water for Luo Yu, who didn't stand on ceremony and said with a smile, "Of course, I'm also a resident of this neighborhood, a long-time resident. Everyone has watched me grow up. If we don't help each other, who will we help?"

Seeing that Luo Yu was so easy to talk to, the deputy factory director was even happier and told her about the situation of several young girls in the factory who were not yet in a relationship.

Luo Yu took notes one by one, and after finishing, she asked, "Factory manager, tell me, what are the personalities of these girls like? What about their families? Are any of them too difficult to deal with? What kind of families are their siblings' in-laws?"

The deputy factory director looked at Luo Yu in surprise, "You even need to ask that?"

Luo Yu explained with a smile, "Factory director, please don't blame me for being nosy. I'm the kind of person who thinks a lot. I just think that since we're going to do it, we have to do it well. What if the two of them fall in love, but then they argue because of their relatives after getting married? What if everyone regrets it then?"

As you know, some families are fine, but those in-laws are a real pain in the neck, very difficult to deal with. I don't want this get-together to cause conflict between the two families, and it wouldn't be good for the reputation of our Women's Federation either.

The deputy factory director understood immediately. Comrade Luo didn't want to take responsibility. He tried his best to do the preparatory work. The conditions were all there. Whether they could get along or not was up to them. If they didn't get along after marriage, they shouldn't blame him. It had nothing to do with him.

The deputy factory director nodded approvingly, "Comrade Luo is very thoughtful! Okay, I understand, let me explain it to you in detail."

The deputy factory director was very cooperative and quickly explained the personalities of the girls and their relatives.

There were also things she didn't understand, so the deputy factory director specifically asked someone to bring the girl over and explain them to her.

Having obtained firsthand information, Luo Yu rushed back to her office and began recording and organizing it.

Xi Beizhan returned very late that night. It was raining when he came back, and if he hadn't worn a raincoat beforehand, he would have been soaked to the bone.

Is it raining heavily outside?

Luo Yu pulled Xi Beizhan's raincoat over and hung it on the ground outside the house, then opened the door and glanced at the yard.

Xi Beizhan shook his head, "How much rain can there be in June? The rain will be heavier next month."

Seeing that the ground was only wet, Luo Yu nodded. "It's not very big. By the way, honey, didn't you say you were going to build another room in the yard in the spring? Do you have a plan yet?"

Xi Beizhan paused, closed his eyes briefly, and said, "I've been so busy lately that I forgot about this. I'll tell my second aunt tomorrow morning and ask her to help arrange it."

I probably won't have much time to manage it. The armed forces department has a big mission coming up, and I might not be home for two or three months.

Luo Yu was startled and turned sharply to look at Xi Beizhan. "What appointment... never mind, I won't ask, but will it take that long? Will it be dangerous?"

Xi Beizhan knew Luo Yu was worried about him, so he pulled her into the house. "It is a bit dangerous, but compared to the missions I've carried out before, it's child's play. It's fine."

Moreover, this time it's not just me going; there are other people going with me, quite a few of them.

As for what I'm going to do, I really can't tell you. I'll tell you when I get back.

Luo Yu nestled in Xi Beizhan's arms and shook her head silently. "No need to say anything, as long as you're safe, that's fine, husband. No matter where you go or what you do, you have to think of me, think that you're not alone anymore, that you still have me at home waiting for you to come back. That way, if you encounter danger, you won't rush in headfirst, and you'll think more about it. Even if it's just for me, you'll do everything you can to save your life and come back to see me."

Xi Beizhan held Luo Yu tightly, "Don't worry, I'll be fine."

Luo Yu hugged Xi Beizhan tightly around the waist, buried her face in the crook of his neck, and silently shed tears.

Feeling the dampness on his shoulder, Xi Beizhan knew Luo Yu had been crying. He quickly pulled her up from his arms and clumsily wiped away her tears.

"I said before we got married that I would never make you sad or cry, but I still made you cry today. It's my fault, I made you worry."

Luo Yu sniffed. "No, it has nothing to do with you. It's just that the thought of you leaving makes me feel uneasy."

"Oh, honey, I have something for you."

As she spoke, Luo Yu took out a small bottle from her spatial storage, opened the cap, and poured out a pill.

Xi Beizhan looked at the small bottle in Luo Yu's hand and sighed silently again.

His wife really doesn't treat him like an outsider!

Picking up the pill, Xi Beizhan examined it closely. "This is..."

Luo Yu leaned close to Xi Beizhan's ear and whispered, "This is a Lesser Rejuvenation Pill. It can save a person as long as they have a breath left."

Xi Beizhan was startled upon hearing this, and he quickly stuffed the pill back into Luo Yu's hand.

"Why did you take out something so valuable? Put it back right now."

Luo Yu shook her head. "I still have some. Back then... I got ten. This is the first one. I'm giving it to you just in case."

Xi Beizhan didn't believe it. "You say you have more than one of these amazing things? I don't believe you."

Luo Yu had no choice but to uncork the small white porcelain bottle and pour it out again. This time, a large handful came out, and after counting, there were exactly nine.

Xi Beizhan believed it and quickly told Luo Yu to put it away.

He put the remaining nine into the porcelain bottle and then back into his spatial storage. "When are you leaving?"

Xi Beizhan shook his head. "I don't know. We'll wait for instructions from above."

Luo Yu thought for a moment, "You should carry this pill with you at all times for convenience. But if the bottle is too big, it will be inconvenient. How about this, we go to the pharmacy tomorrow to see if we can find a smaller one that only accepts one pill. Then we can tie it around our necks with a rope so we don't lose it."

Actually, Luo Yu preferred the small gourd-shaped medicine bottle of the quick-acting heart medicine from her previous life, but unfortunately, the country hasn't produced that medicine yet, so there's nothing she can do about it.

"I used to have a small, transparent bottle, but it disappeared after I finished using the stuff."

By the way, you used the stuff in that bottle too, but it doesn't seem to be working.

Luo Yu looked at Xi Beizhan thoughtfully.

Xi Beizhan was taken aback. "You used it on me? What did you use on me?"

Luo Yu blinked and laughed, "Poison, believe it or not?"

Xi Beizhan laughed heartily, "I'm not so badly infatuated with you, am I? Otherwise, why would I like you so much!"

He pulled Luo Yu close and kissed her hard on the cheek, his smile wide and his eyes bulging.

Luo Yu smiled and put her arm around Xi Beizhan's neck. "It's a body repair liquid to treat your hidden injuries. I gave it to you on New Year's Day."

Xi Beizhan had no recollection and shook his head. "I don't remember. But since that day, my health has been getting better day by day. I used to be wounded by a gun, and the wound used to sting a bit on rainy days, but now it doesn't hurt anymore."
