Luo Yu thought for a moment and then shared her thoughts.

Upon hearing this, the leaders present thought it was a good thing, as it would not only solve the marriage problems of older single men and women but also add merit to their achievements!

Without a second thought, it was unanimously approved by everyone.

But the meeting can't end there; we still need to talk about the social gathering.

After several questions and discussions, the conference decided that Director Xu would be in charge of this matter, Luo Yu would be responsible for its implementation, and they should contact the Women's Federation if they encountered any difficulties.

The gathering was still to be held at Wulong Mine. On the day of the gathering, people from various factories and mines would go there.

After a half-day meeting, when Luo Yu returned to the Wulong Mine, all the workers had gone home. Seeing that Xi Beizhan had already gone home, Luo Yu went home by herself.

When she reached the top of the hill near the shed, she could see Xi Beizhan standing there waiting for her from afar.

Luo Yu happily stepped forward, quietly tugged at Xi Beizhan's sleeve, and then quickly let go.

Xi Beizhan looked around, smiled, and walked home side by side with Luo Yu.

"I heard you went to a meeting again this afternoon? Was it about the social gathering?"

"Well, I'd like to hold one in each mine, preferably twice a month, then rotate it again next year, and then once a year thereafter, so that all the comrades who are of age will have the opportunity to find a suitable partner."

Xi Beizhan nodded. "Your idea is good. If this continues for a long time, the young men in the mine won't have to worry about finding wives."

The two returned home while talking, and Aunt Xi smiled and pulled them into the house.

"Qiu Ling came back at noon and told me that the child is fine and there's nothing wrong."

Luo Yu knew that Qiu Ling and the child were both fine, and she felt relieved.

"That's good. I thought it was twins because my sister-in-law's belly was so big."

Aunt Du smiled and shook her head, "Her belly is a bit bigger than that of a normal pregnant woman, but it's not twins. The doctor said it's probably because Qiu Ling eats well, so the babies are growing strong. As long as she doesn't eat too much in the remaining months, there shouldn't be any problems during childbirth."

After the family finished dinner, Luo Yu and Xi Beizhan went home.

Once home, after washing up, the two engaged in another exhilarating battle, after which Xi Beizhan attentively served Luo Yu as she washed up.

"Wife, I have to leave at dawn."

Luo Yu, who was getting dressed, paused. "So fast?"

Xi Beizhan kissed Luo Yu's fingers reluctantly, "Of course, they're waiting over there, we can't afford to delay."

Luo Yu sighed, "Okay, I understand. Go ahead, but be careful."

I don't have time to go to the pharmacy today, so I'll probably have to use a different bottle to store the medicine.

Xi Beizhan didn't say anything, went out to get water, and Luo Yu found a smaller bottle to put the Lesser Rejuvenation Pill in, which he then handed to Xi Beizhan when he returned to the room.

Be careful, don't get hurt.

Xi Beizhan nodded, clutching the medicine bottle tightly. "Don't worry, I'll protect myself for your sake."

No matter how reluctant they were, they had to let each other go. The two of them barely slept all night, holding each other tightly, afraid that if they let go, the other would disappear.

Before dawn, Xi Beizhan got up and dressed, and Luo Yu also got dressed, without going to sleep.

"You can sleep a little longer. I don't need you here."

Luo Yu shook her head. "No, I'll see you off."

Xi Beizhan disagreed with a stern face, "It's still dark. If you take me out, I'll have to worry about you. Be good, stay home and wait for me to come back."

Luo Yu knew that Xi Beizhan was right, so she didn't argue and just silently watched Xi Beizhan pack his things.

Xi Beizhan only took a backpack containing a set of clothes and a hundred yuan in case of emergency.

Luo Yu frowned slightly upon seeing this. "One hundred yuan is a bit too little. They say you should bring more money when you're on a long journey, even if you're poor."

Xi Beizhan shook his head, "No need, even if we bring too many, we don't need to go. The government takes care of our food, clothing, and accommodation during missions, so it won't cost us much money."

Luo Yu didn't try to persuade her any further, but her eyes were slightly red and filled with reluctance.

Xi Beizhan hugged Luo Yu and kissed her again and again, then made up his mind and left without looking back.

Hearing the door close, Luo Yu burst into tears.

They had never been apart since they met Xi Beizhan, so her heart ached at his departure.

Luo Yu sighed, went out and locked the door, then led Hei Dou into the house to keep her company before lying down fully clothed and taking a nap.

Luo Yu could only lie still for about an hour before she got up to tidy up the room.

Today is Sunday, and Luo Yu is off work. The social gathering is scheduled for next Sunday, and she has a week to visit various factories and mines, so she's not in a hurry.

I ate at Guan's house again this morning. Luo Yu told me that Xi Beizhan had gone on a mission and it was uncertain when he would return. Aunt Xi almost cursed Xi Beizhan's ancestors to death.

Hearing Aunt Xi's low curses, Luo Yu's lips twitched.

Second Aunt, have you forgotten your own surname? That's your ancestor too!

Aren't you afraid that your ancestors will climb up in the middle of the night to settle scores with you for cursing like that?

Guan Daqiang and Guan Jingtian had their heads bowed so low they were practically burying their rice bowls. Guan Jingyi was even more cautious, remaining silent and trying to minimize her presence. Only Qiu Ling and Luo Yu dared to reach for their chopsticks.

“You tell me about him. Can I stop him from going on a mission? Why didn’t he tell me beforehand?”

He ran off to another family right after getting married; does he even care about this family anymore?

Qiu Ling glanced at Luo Yu and smiled, "Mom, Luo Yu and her brother-in-law have been married for almost half a year now."

Aunt Xi glared at Qiu Ling and said, "It's only been half a year, not decades."

Xiao Luo, don't take it to heart. That brat is just like that. It wasn't his choice to leave you; it was arranged by the organization.

"Um, what would you like to eat? Your aunt will make it for you in a bit."

Ultimately, it all comes down to fearing that Luo Yu and Xi Beizhan will get angry.

Despite her vehement criticism, she was actually siding with her nephew.

Luo Yu chuckled inwardly, but didn't show it on her face. With a worried expression, she said, "I'm not afraid of him leaving home, but I'm afraid he might be in danger. Second Aunt, don't worry, he promised me he would definitely come home safely."

Hearing that Luo Yu not only wasn't angry but also comforted her, Aunt Xi felt incredibly comforted and even more grateful that the Xi family's ancestral graves were emitting auspicious smoke, being able to marry such a good daughter-in-law as Luo Yu.

Of course, she also felt even more sorry for Luo Yu. After the meal, she busied herself preparing lunch, determined to get Luo Yu's attention elsewhere and stop thinking about Xi Beizhan.

Aunt Xi hurriedly walked into the grocery store with the money and tickets in her hands. Luo Yu didn't stop her, thinking that the family could also have a good meal together.

Back home, I made cornmeal porridge for Heidou, adding some pig lungs. Heidou ate it without even lifting his head.

After finishing the black beans and cleaning their bowl, Luo Yu had nothing else to do. After thinking for a moment, she started tidying up the space again.

These days, Luo Yu has been checking in every day, and the things in her space are increasing. With Xi Beizhan and the other person consuming the space, the things in her space haven't decreased at all. Seeing that the space slots are about to be filled, Luo Yu started to get anxious.
