In the reborn era, the lucky bag is enjoying the show in the factory area.

After bringing the black beans into the house, Luo Yu washed up and went to sleep.

The next morning, Luo Yu felt much better in her foot, but as soon as she put it on the ground, she realized that she couldn't put any weight on it, and it hurt terribly whenever she put any pressure on it.

Having no other choice, Luo Yu had to skip to the Guan family's house.

Black Bean probably thought Luo Yu was teasing it by jumping around, so it ran around and barked until it called out to Aunt Xi, at which point it calmed down.

Aunt Xi also made cornmeal porridge for Hei Dou, with pig lungs mixed in, which made Guan Jingyi extremely envious.

"Some of my classmates' families don't even have the best food, like black beans. Sister-in-law, you're really generous!"

Luo Yu smiled and glanced at Black Bean. "Either don't raise one, or raise it well. Treat it like family. Dogs are intelligent. If you treat it well, it will repay you a thousandfold."

Black Bean seemed to know that Luo Yu was talking about it. It raised its head, glanced at Luo Yu, made a sound, and then buried its head in its food.

Black Bean's ears have now stood up, and its body length is almost the same as that of an adult dog. Coupled with its fierce appearance, it is easy to be scared. Only its family and neighbors know that Black Bean is not very intimidating and can be messed with by children.

He touched Black Bean's big ears, and Black Bean looked up unhappily. When it saw that it was Luo Yu, it lowered its head and ate heartily again.

Aunt Xi came in and applied the medicine to Luo Yu again. "You'd better not put any weight on your foot for the next couple of days. Otherwise, you should rest for a couple of days."

Luo Yu quickly shook her head, "No, I can't take a day off this week, I'm too busy."

Aunt Xi sighed, looking at Luo Yu's foot with a worried expression, "When will it get better? It seems even more swollen today."

Guan Daqiang took a bite of pickled vegetables. "It's alright. I'll borrow a cart later and take Xiao Luo to work."

Luo Yu really wanted to agree, but once Guan Daqiang started work, she would still have to go out. What would she do then?

"Never mind, I'll just ride this one."

Aunt Xi's eyes flashed with anger. "Still riding? You better shut up for a bit! Lao Guan, take a day off today. Xiao Luo has some things to do these days. You and Jing Tian can take turns taking leave and drag her out to have some fun."

Aunt Xi glared at Luo Yu with annoyance and went out to serve the dishes.

Guan Daqiang looked at Luo Yu and said with a smile in a low voice, "Your second aunt is just too soft-hearted."

Luo Yu smiled and moved closer to Guan Daqiang, saying, "My second aunt can't do math. How much do I earn in a day? How much does my second uncle earn in a day? He gets a lot of money for taking a day off."

Guan Daqiang chuckled, "It's alright, it'll only take a few days, I estimate three days. You'll feel much better after three days, then you can ride it yourself again, just listen to me."

Luo Yu looked at her feet, which seemed to be swollen as well, and could only nod.

"Alright, I'll have to trouble my second uncle and eldest brother for the next few days. The social gathering really can't be delayed, otherwise I would really have to take a few days off to rest properly."

After breakfast, Guan Daqiang didn't borrow a car. He took Luo Yu to the mine, then asked for leave and took Luo Yu to the clothing factory and soda factory in the city. They drove around all day and didn't ride back until dark.

After a long day of running around, Luo Yu lay down on the kang (a heated brick bed) at night and realized that she hadn't signed in today.

After she finished signing in, Luo Yu didn't want to talk anymore.

Another ten bowls of wontons—she simply couldn't finish them all.

Luo Yu gathered the wontons together and stored them in her spatial storage, then stroked Hei Dou's big ears and fell asleep.

For three days in a row, Guan Daqiang and Guan Jingtian took her out on their bicycles. By the fourth day, when they were almost done with their work, Luo Yu was writing cards in the office with peace of mind. The other women disappeared day by day, leaving her alone in the office.

It was almost time to leave work on Saturday afternoon when Luo Yu finished writing all the cards, stretched, and was just about to go home when the office phone rang.

"This is the Women's Federation office at Wulong Mine. Who are you looking for?"

"daughter in law!"

The word "wife" made Luo Yu's eyes pop out.

"Honey? Why did it take you so long to call? I missed you so much."

Are you alright? Are you hurt?

Xi Beizhan smiled and said, "I'm fine. The mission here is going very smoothly and is almost finished. I'm going back soon, which is why we were allowed to contact our families."

Luo Yu asked in surprise, "Didn't you say it would take quite a long time? You're back so quickly?"

Xi Beizhan whispered, "Well, I had planned for a month, but I didn't expect to encounter some unexpected problems as soon as I got here. The mission was completed smoothly, otherwise I wouldn't have dared to call you."

Honey, wait for me at home. I'll be back as early as tomorrow night.

I don't know what time I'll be back tonight. I won't knock; I'll climb over the wall to get home. If you hear any noise, don't be afraid. I'll call you from the window before I come inside.

Luo Yu nodded upon hearing this, then, remembering that Xi Beizhan couldn't see, quickly whispered, "Okay, I understand. Don't worry about me; Hei Dou is with me every day."

Upon hearing that Heidou slept with Luo Yu every night, Xi Beizhan felt both heartache and jealousy, and said resentfully, "I won't need it when I get back. Why tie it outside and let it show off to me all day long?"

Luo Yu smiled without saying a word, and after talking with Xi Beizhan for a while, she reluctantly put down her phone.

Knowing that Xi Beizhan was not injured and would be back soon, Luo Yu felt much better and limped as she locked the door and went home.

Upon returning home, Luo Yu immediately told Aunt Xi.

"Bei Zhan is coming back soon, and you'll be able to see him the day after tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, Aunt Xi looked at Luo Yu with surprise and asked, "Second son, are you alright?"

"No, I'm fine, don't worry, Auntie."

Aunt Xi was relieved and added a scrambled egg, inviting her family to eat together.

Luo Yu was busy at work, while Aunt Xi was busy at home, even busier than Luo Yu.

She was busy overseeing the construction of the house and cooking for people. After finishing one meal, she had to go out to buy, pick, and wash vegetables to prepare for the next meal. She was so tired every day that her back was about to break.

Even so, Aunt Xi was happy. The thought that the house was prepared by Xi Beizhan and Luo Yu for her nephew made her feel extremely comfortable.

In this day and age, building a house isn't something you can just do whenever you want. Even if it's your yard and your home, if you want to build or renovate a house, you have to contact the neighborhood committee in advance, get their permission, and obtain a letter of introduction before you can go to the brick factory to buy bricks. Without that letter, they simply won't sell to you.

For example, the wood used for roof beams is state-owned property. You can't get it without a permit. In the countryside, you can even get dead trees, but you can't get it in the city. In the fall, a group of people who know each other go to the countryside to collect branches. If you're lucky, a few trips are enough for a year's worth of firewood. If you're unlucky, it might take more than ten trips.

Aunt Xi was busy but happy. She was even happier to learn that Xi Beizhan was coming back. After finishing her meal, Luo Yu urged her to go back and rest to recover her foot. Otherwise, when Xi Beizhan came back and saw that she was injured, he might complain about her.
