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

Aunt Zhao, who was standing nearby, also sighed, "These kinds of things are relatively rare around here. I've heard that many children go missing in the south."

Aunt Liu raised her eyes and washed the newly bought lunchbox again. "What's the big deal if you take it? You'll have to return it eventually anyway."

The police came to their house last night. I heard that the daughter-in-law, who had just given birth, didn't say a word after learning about it. She took her newborn daughter and her three older children and went back to her parents' home that very night.

Aunt Zhang laughed and said, "That's right, let them do what they want. What's wrong with girls? Girls can take care of you in your old age too."

But in the countryside, a family can't function without a man. The work in the fields is so strenuous; how much can a girl earn?

After Aunt Zhang finished speaking, the other women sighed again.

Luo Yu chimed in, "Not necessarily. I've heard that some of the young girls who went to the countryside are very capable. Some of them can earn eight work points a day, while others earn six."

Only those who were truly greedy, lazy, and cunning managed to scrape by with only three or four work points a day, but when the autumn harvest came, they received very little grain. In the end, many young girls married men from the local village.

Director Xu said, "Those are still a minority. Most of the young girls are very capable. I know quite a few who can earn six or seven work points a day."

Six work points are enough to make a living in the countryside, though life isn't easy. You don't get much money, so your family has to give you some financial support to buy necessities.

The older women started a new round of discussion: which family's young girl was capable and could earn eight work points a day, and which family's girl was too lazy and couldn't even get four work points a day, and ended up getting married. Luo Yu listened as if she were listening to a novel; it was so interesting!

After that, the young girl's ability to work and the number of work points she could earn were no longer enough for the older women. They started talking about which young girl had been sent to the countryside and the strong men in the village had a few things to say about her.

Well, all morning, Luo Yu did nothing but listen to stories. Even Director Xu moved a chair and sat down next to Aunt Zhang, listening intently.

The tea was provided by Luo Yu, who got it from Mine Manager Hao; the melon seeds were brought by Aunt Zhang; the peanuts were brought by Aunt Liu; Aunt Zhao brought fruit candies; Aunt Hu brought steamed rice cakes; and Director Xu brought oil and salt pastries. It was a perfect tea party.

After lunch, and after sending Xi Beizhan away, the tea party continued. After Aunt Zhang finished speaking, Aunt Liu continued chatting. After Aunt Liu finished telling her story, Aunt Zhao continued with an extension of the story. After Aunt Hu finished telling her new story, Director Xu had to give a summary. Luo Yu was just short of taking notes.

These are all source materials. When the internet becomes more developed, maybe she can write novels and earn some money, or even become a famous author or something.

Doesn't she know how many young girls can be fooled by a novel written by a woman in her sixties or seventies?

Luo Yu is speechless!

When I got home in the evening, as usual, I checked on Xiao Guoqing first. This time, Guoqing was drinking milk, and it was formula milk.

"Did you drink formula again?"

Qiu Ling nodded helplessly, "I don't have enough breast milk, not enough for the baby. He's still so young, I really don't know what I'll do in two months."

Luo Yu then realized that she had forgotten about going to Sister Wang's place.

Luo Yu awkwardly touched his nose. "Leave this to me, I'll take care of it for you."

Luo Yu couldn't sit still any longer and quickly got up to find Xi Beizhan.

"Come with me after dinner. We'll go to Sister Wang's place, and then to Kexin and Wei Hong's."

Xi Beizhan didn't ask any further questions and nodded in agreement.

Upon learning that Luo Yu and Xi Beizhan would be going out soon, Aunt Xi didn't ask any further questions. She quickly invited them over for dinner, and after the meal, she chased them out of the house.

Luo Yu went home first, and then, carrying Xi Beizhan on her back, took out six packages of pastries, six cans of malted milk powder, six bottles of ordinary Sangou liquor, and three portions of grapes from her spatial storage.

Sangou Baijiu is produced by a local distillery in Fuyang City. It's inexpensive but delicious, and the people of Fuyang City love it.

The grapes were what she got from signing in today—ten large baskets, each weighing twenty pounds. She took out one basket and distributed them to three different households.

Before leaving, Luo Yu glanced at the two compartments in the space where fruit was stored, swallowed hard, and left home contentedly.

When I get home tonight, I'll have a peach, a Jingbai pear, and a small cantaloupe to share with Xi Beizhan. I won't eat the grapes; the thirty baskets of grapes I got from signing in three times weren't varieties I didn't like, so I'll just give them away.

Having arranged all the nightlife, Luo Yu happily carried three tote bags to Xi Beizhan. After he took them all, she turned around and sat in the back seat of the car.

The two first went to Sister Wang's house, which was the closest.

Xi Beizhan didn't go in. He had to stay outside and watch the things. It wouldn't be good if someone saw him carrying gifts meant for one family to another, not even a close friend. They knew this basic etiquette.

Upon arriving at Sister Wang's house, after putting down his things, Sister Wang immediately glared at Luo Yu.

"You're back from studying? What's all this stuff you've got? You've got money now, haven't you? Why are you buying so much stuff? Don't you know whose house you went to?"

That's what she said, but when she saw Luo Yu's gift, Sister Wang smiled with her lips pursed.

"I'm not going to someone else's house, it's my own sister's house. What's wrong with taking a few things? I didn't give any food to anyone else."

"Quickly put it away. That wine is for my brother-in-law; don't stop him."

Sister Wang glared at Luo Yu, "You're just taking his side, letting him drink. He'll get stomach problems if he keeps drinking like this."

Brother-in-law Wang has no other hobbies, he just likes to have a drink now and then, but he knows his limits and doesn't drink much, only an ounce or two at a time, and only once a day.

"It's not like he drinks every meal. My brother-in-law goes down the mine; how can he manage without a drink?"

The items were confiscated, and Sister Wang wanted to make tea for Luo Yu, but Luo Yu quickly stopped her.

"No, I'll just sit for a bit and then leave. I have things to do."

Sister Wang rolled her eyes again upon hearing this, "Where are you going? Let's eat some more later."

"I ate at home before coming here, sis. I need your help with something."

Upon hearing this, Sister Wang quickly placed the tea canister on the table and sat down next to Luo Yu, adopting a listening posture. "What is it? Go ahead and tell me."

Luo Yu almost burst out laughing at Sister Wang's antics. "It's nothing serious, it's just that my husband's cousin's wife just had a baby, but she doesn't have enough breast milk. I was wondering if you could help me find a couple of pig's trotters to help with milk production."

After hearing this, Sister Wang rolled her eyes dramatically. "That's it?"

Luo Yu nodded. "Ah, that's it."

Sister Wang slammed her hand on the table in anger, "You have to give me a gift for such a small thing? What do you take me for? Get out, take your things and get out of my house! You don't even consider me your sister! You brat, you've broken my heart."

Luo Yu knew that Sister Wang was joking, so she quickly grabbed Sister Wang's arm and said, "Sister, I just came back from the provincial capital. I haven't seen you for three months. I brought some things over to see what's wrong?"
