A sharp, murderous gaze instantly found its target and shot towards him. The young man who had spoken swallowed hard, took three big steps back, and collapsed onto the crowd behind him.

"Ah! Be careful, there's someone behind you."

In a crowded place, there's no room for you to take three big steps back. Even a small step can cause a stampede. Unsurprisingly, the young man's retreating step crushed a group of people, and dozens of others behind him were also injured, all falling to the ground.

Luo Yu and Xi Beizhan almost went crazy when they saw it.

To be finished!

Without saying a word, the two men immediately started pulling people up. They first pulled up the man who had spoken first, and then simultaneously pulled up the second and third people. The people who had been pulled up realized the seriousness of the situation and quickly reached out to pull others up as well.

Fortunately, the people behind were also somewhat aware of the danger. When the person in front fell, the people behind knew to reach out and support the person in front's waist, trying not to fall on themselves. One pushed and one helped, and after about twenty people fell, they finally stood up with the help of five tall and strong men.

Seeing that nothing serious had happened, Luo Yu and Xi Beizhan breathed a sigh of relief, then flew into a rage and gave a stern lecture to everyone in front of them.

Luo Yu goes without saying. Xi Beizhan is the captain of the security department. He is usually stern and fierce. Now that he is cursing people, his face is even darker. These people were already scared enough. Now they were scared by Xi Beizhan again. How could they dare to say a word?

Luo Yu is quick-witted and can scold people with great eloquence, leaving them with a headache. It would be better to let Xi Beizhan give her a good scolding.

Fortunately, the two didn't have much time; they only lectured for three to five minutes before leaving, otherwise these people would have had to admit defeat.

After finally arriving at the gate of Wulong Mine, Luo Yu saw that the security personnel and the Women's Federation were standing at the gate. Looking around, she saw that almost all the staff and leaders in the office building were there.

At 8:30 a.m., led by Mine Manager Hao, the Wulong Mine contingent officially set off. Nearly a hundred young men walked happily at the front of the procession, carrying colorful flags, while loudspeakers on the street broadcasted news of the military parade in Beijing.

Luo Yu and several women from the Women's Federation walked in the middle, chanting slogans and listening to the radio while occasionally whispering to each other, creating a lively atmosphere like during the Chinese New Year.

The procession walked from the gate of Wulong Mine to Fucheng Railway Station. There were even more people at the railway station, mostly from factories and mines near the western district of the city. Unsurprisingly, several groups bumped into each other.

Then each team occupied a street, with the team leaders, such as mine managers and factory directors, standing together smoking and bragging about their own teams. The other teams, not to be outdone, brought out their best members to show off.

Xi Beizhan and Luo Yu were the "donkeys" that Director Hao dragged out for a walk. The two of them stood helplessly in front of a group of leaders, looking extremely embarrassed, like animals in a zoo.

In the end, Xi Beizhan got impatient and glared at Mine Manager Hao several times before returning to his team amidst Mine Manager Hao's reluctant gaze.

The parade didn't start heading back until the military parade in Beijing ended. The station's loudspeakers never stopped broadcasting departure and arrival times, ticket check times, and the military parade in Beijing in between. It was incredibly busy. Luo Yu suspected that the station announcers' voices had gone hoarse, as three different people were used for the broadcasts.

Around 1 p.m., the team returned to Wulong Mine. The young man carrying the flag was responsible for delivering the colorful flags back to the logistics department's warehouse. They also had to be inspected before being put into storage, as they couldn't afford to damage them and would have to pay for them.

The afternoon shift workers didn't come today; they were all on the midnight shift. These people need to go home to rest because they have to work again tonight.

Then there are the staff and leaders in the office building. Luo Yu and the people from the Women's Federation went back to the Women's Federation office. The report had to be written. This matter is now entirely Luo Yu's responsibility, so Director Xu can relax a bit.

Xi Beizhan was also busy with security checks. There weren't many people left at the mine, so he had to check every place to be sure. Who knew if any bad elements might come in and cause trouble in the meantime? He had to be on guard.

When the two of them got home from get off work, they were exhausted. But as soon as they entered the house, Aunt Xi hurriedly came out from the outer room, grabbed Luo Yu's hand and said, "Quick, Qiu Ling has gone into labor and has been taken to the hospital. You two go quickly. I'll cook some food for her at home and bring it over in a bit."

Upon hearing this, Luo Yu and Xi Beizhan turned and ran, riding their bicycles home and rushing to the Central Hospital.

When the two arrived at the hospital, Qiu Ling had already given birth. Luo Yu was stunned when she saw the little monkey in Guan Jingtian's arms.

Did she give birth so quickly?

Didn't they say that the first childbirth takes a very long time?

Xi Beizhan couldn't enter the room, so only Luo Yu went into the ward and took a peek.

Ugh, so ugly!

I simply couldn’t see it!

Looking at Qiu Ling lying weakly on the hospital bed, and seeing the satisfied smile on her face, Luo Yu suddenly felt that she was so beautiful.

But at this moment, Qiu Ling's hair was disheveled, her face was pale, her lips were white, and her face and clothes were soaked with sweat, making her look very disheveled. Where was her beauty?

Luo Yu couldn't understand, so she obediently sat down to the side. "Sister-in-law, are you hungry? Your second aunt is cooking for you at home and will bring it over in a bit. Or, should I ask Bei Zhan to go and get it?"

Qiu Ling reluctantly shifted her gaze from the child to Luo Yu, "No need, I'm not hungry yet. Let's wait a while. Don't make your brother-in-law run back and forth. You're all tired today."

Hearing that she didn't need to go get the food, Luo Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

She felt sorry for her own husband. Although she was his sister-in-law and not an outsider, it was no big deal to lend a hand when something happened. But Xi Beizhan was really exhausted today, and she didn't want him to make another trip.

Luo Yu quickly got up to pour water, and luckily there was water in the thermos, so she quickly poured it in and handed it to Qiu Ling.

"Sister-in-law, have some water first. Have you fed the baby? When was the baby born?"

Qiu Ling took the water but didn't drink it. She smiled and said, "You guys just left today, and I went into labor right after. But no one was home at the time, which made my mom very worried. Later, Grandpa Huang and the others heard the noise and came over, and that's when they brought me to the hospital."

Mom came with me. Your brother and dad aren't here, so she can only keep me company.

The baby was born at noon; Mom didn't go home until Dad and your brother came back in the afternoon.

Luo Yu nodded. "Boy or girl? Have you named the baby yet?"

Luo Yu nodded, proudly raising her chin, "It's a boy. He's lucky; today happens to be National Day, so we'll name him Guan Guoqing (Guan National Day)."

Upon hearing this name, Luo Yu's lips twitched slightly, and she looked at little Guan Guoqing with pity.

You're doomed! From now on, when we call your name to come home for dinner, who knows how many kids will follow you home!

Luo Yu was somewhat puzzled.

The eldest brother's name is quite nice, proving that Comrade Guan Daqiang is good at naming, but why did he choose such an inappropriate name for his grandson?

The name is nice, but it's still a bit ordinary.
