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

After getting off the bus, the two hired a flatbed cart and loaded it with their belongings to go home.

Since neither of them told their families when they would be back, and no one came to pick them up from the station, no one knew when they arrived home. When Aunt Xi opened the door and saw the smiling couple standing outside, she almost hit them with a stick.

"You didn't even tell me you were coming back. Should I have had your uncle and brother pick you up? What's all this? Why are there so many bags of luggage? I remember you didn't take much with you when you left."

Aunt Xi said this and scolded, but her hands were not idle. She picked up a bag and walked into the house.

Upon entering the room, a figure lunged directly at Luo Yu.

Knowing this would happen, Luo Yu took a half step back and calmly caught the person who came.

"How old are you? You're still so clumsy. What if you fall and hurt yourself?"

Guan Jingyi looked at Luo Yu with joy, "Sister-in-law, you're finally back! I've missed you so much!"

Luo Yu looked at Guan Jingyi with bright eyes and reached out to touch the top of her head.

It feels so good to be remembered.

"Silly girl, your sister-in-law is back now. Be good, your sister-in-law has brought you some good things, just wait here."

After saying that, Luo Yu pulled a small floral dress out of a bag and held it up against Guan Jingyi.

"You know what, I bought it at the perfect time, I can wear it next year."

Xi Beizhan nodded, "Luckily you said you wanted to buy a size up. You can't wear it this year, but it will fit perfectly next year. Otherwise, you would definitely have bought a size too small."

Guan Jingyi's eyes lit up when she saw the floral dress. She happily grabbed it and admired herself in the mirror.

"This dress even has lace trim, it's so pretty, thank you, sister-in-law."

"No need to thank me. It's a rare trip to the provincial capital, so of course I had to bring you a gift."

Xi Beizhan had by then taken out almost all the gifts, one for each person, and no one was short.

Today, Guan Daqiang and the others happened to be home, especially Qiu Ling, who is about to give birth. It's only a few days away, but a week ago, Aunt Xi forced her to stay home and not go to work. Right now, she is looking longingly at the baby formula and bottles on the kang (a heated brick bed).

"Why did you even buy baby bottles? Mom and I already prepared some."

Luo Yu smiled and sat down next to Qiu Ling, gently stroking her belly. She chuckled and whispered, "Your preparations are yours, and ours are ours. Besides, you need one bottle for the baby's formula and another for water. One bottle isn't enough."

Qiu Ling smiled and said, "How could I only prepare one? Mom bought two for me."

"Then keep them. Glass bottles are fragile and can't be broken. If they break, our little one will go hungry. It's good to have a couple more on hand."

Qiu Ling, with her sharp eyes, noticed the children's clothes again. "You're buying more clothes?"

“I bought them. And let me tell you, the children’s clothes are really cute. Although there aren’t many patterns, just a few styles, there are so many colors—red, yellow, green, pink. I don’t want to part with any of them. Anyway, I had enough money, so I bought one of each. You can let your child wear them in rotation. After your little one finishes wearing them, we’ll continue.”

Upon hearing this, Aunt Xi's eyes lit up, and she threw down her shirt and sat down next to Luo Yu. "You're pregnant?"

Luo Yu knew what Aunt Xi was talking about, and shook her head with a wry smile, "No way, where we go to school, there's no place for a husband and wife to be intimate. I just feel that my body should be ready enough, maybe I'll be able to conceive next year."

Aunt Xi was initially disappointed, but quickly cheered up. "Get up. The medicine you got last time is long gone. Do you want to go see it again sometime?"

Last time Luo Yu went to the countryside to see a traditional Chinese medicine doctor, she and Aunt Xi brought back a lot of Chinese medicine. They took it for more than a month, but then Luo Yu had too many things to do, so she stopped taking the medicine. However, Luo Yu felt that her stomach was not as painful when she had her period, so she said that she should be able to have a child next year.

Luo Yu thought for a moment, "Okay, Auntie, come with me again sometime. My period got much better last time, and I'd like to take two more doses."

Aunt Xi patted Luo Yu's hand happily, "That's right, we can't... we can't just get any kind of medical treatment. If we're not feeling well, we'll get treatment. It's not like we don't have money. Besides, we must do things that are good for your health. Health is the foundation of everything. Only when you're healthy can you contribute more to the country."

Xi Ergu was very pleased that Luo Yu didn't shy away from talking about her poor health. She wasn't afraid that her niece-in-law was in poor health, but she was afraid that if she was in poor health and didn't talk about it, the Xi family line would really end.

All the dried seafood I bought for my family is stored at Guan's house. The Lunar New Year is just a few months away, so we'll definitely have to wait until then to eat these things.

It was already dark when the two returned. The Guan family had already finished dinner. When Aunt Xi heard that the two hadn't eaten dinner yet, she quickly got out of bed and cooked noodles for them.

After finishing their meal, the couple returned home. As soon as they entered the house, Xi Beizhan picked up Luo Yu and rushed inside without a second thought.

That night, Xi Beizhan finally ate and drank his fill, and contentedly slept with the unconscious Luo Yu in his arms.

When Xi Beizhan woke up the next day, it was long past his usual time. He wasn't in a hurry to get up. Before Luo Yu woke up, he gently stroked Luo Yu's eyebrows and eyes, his eyes full of love.

The two of them were originally supposed to have a day off today, but tomorrow is the 20th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, and there are still many things to do at work. So they decided to go back to work this afternoon to see if there was anything they could do to help.

In the afternoon, when the two hurriedly arrived at Wulong Mine, melodious singing came from inside the mine gate, with the national anthem playing on a loop.

Above the gate, a row of red flags were planted, and a new flagpole had been erected inside the gate. The gatekeeper, Lao Gao, stood smiling under the flag, head held high, watching the flag intently.

"Old Gao, it's been a long time."

These words belong to Xi Beizhan.

When Lao Gao turned around and saw that it was Xi Beizhan, his smile widened.

"Are you back?"

Luo Yu greeted Lao Gao with a smile, then squatted down to tease Hei Zi.

Last night, she spent half the day being affectionate with Heidou, which made Xi Beizhan jealous. He kept clamoring to eat dog meat. Heidou probably understood and barked at Xi Beizhan for more than ten minutes. If Luo Yu hadn't been holding Heidou the whole time, the two of them would have fought until they bled.

When Xi Beizhan saw Luo Yu hugging and kissing Heizi, he only glanced coldly at the man and dog, then snorted and turned his face away from them.

Xi Beizhan handed Lao Gao a cigarette, "Smoke it sparingly, it's from the provincial capital."

Old Gao rolled his eyes and snatched all the cigarettes from Xi Beizhan's hand. "You little brat, you finally went to the provincial capital and didn't even bring back some good cigarettes and wine for your old man. You're making a fuss over a cigarette."

Xi Beizhan didn't mind that his cigarettes were taken. He clapped his hands and said, "Fine, they were meant for you anyway. I'll get you two more packs later."

Upon hearing this, Luo Yu glanced up at Xi Beizhan but said nothing. Xi Beizhan only exchanged a glance with Luo Yu before returning to his friendly embrace with Old Gao.

The two talked quietly for a while, then Xi Beizhan pulled Luo Yu into the office building.

Luo Yu went to the Women's Federation to report for duty, while Xi Beizhan went upstairs to Director Hao's office.
