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

I received seven bolts of fabric: two checkered ones, which can be used to make bed sheets and duvet covers; two gray khaki ones; one thin cotton one for summer clothes; and two white polyester ones, which are white fabrics with specks of black, like ink splattered on them.

Open the fabric; there's more inside, but much less than the outer layers. With careful planning and cutting, you can make two or three garments.

When Luo Yu came out of the warehouse, her hands and shoulders were full of things she had picked out. Sister Wang didn't care. Instead, she smiled and escorted Luo Yu all the way back to the gate of Wulong Mine.

Thank you so much.

Reluctantly seeing off the enthusiastic Sister Wang, Luo Yu carried her things home.

Aunt Xi wasn't home, and Guan Daqiang and the other two were still asleep. Luo Yu took the things back to her room. Since the box couldn't hold all the cloth, she piled it all on the lid, planning to deal with it later.

I washed all the thermal underwear, vests, and shorts I bought and hung them out to dry. In the evening, I picked out a set and dried it by the stove, so I could wear it that night.

After finishing her work, Luo Yu went back to her workplace and saw the yarn in the hands of several middle-aged women. She slapped her head in frustration.

I forgot to buy yarn.

Forget it, we'll talk about it later. We've already spent a lot of money today. If she keeps going like this, she'll run out of money sooner or later.

After a leisurely afternoon, the group of middle-aged women cleaned the office early at 4:30 p.m. As soon as the 5 p.m. closing bell rang, they rushed out of the office with a speed no slower than the elderly men and women in later generations rushing to the supermarket to grab eggs.

Luo Yu was dumbfounded.

Are you in such a hurry?

Director Xu came over and patted Luo Yu on the shoulder knowingly.

"Everyone's rushing home to cook."

Luo Yu understood and nodded. "Director, you should leave too. I'll just lock the door. My house is nearby; it's just around the corner."

Director Xu smiled and nodded, "Call me Aunt Xu after work. Calling me Director all the time is too formal. Okay, from now on, you'll be in charge of locking the door."

Director Xu shoved the lock into Luo Yu's hand and left the office without stopping.

Luo Yu shook her head, picked up her lunchbox, locked the door, and went home.

As soon as I entered the house, Aunt Xi came over with a cheerful smile.

"How was your first day at work? Did those older ladies from the Women's Federation give you a hard time?"

Luo Yu shook her head with a smile, "No, the aunties were so nice to me. They even gave me some 'maoke' (a type of fried dough), which I heard was grown by Aunt Zhang herself. It smelled so good."

Aunt Xi visibly breathed a sigh of relief. "I knew the older ladies wouldn't make things difficult for you; they're very easy to talk to."

The malt crackers at Sister Zhang's house are delicious. I had some when they came to our house last time to handle some business.

Luo Yu asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

Aunt Xi raised her eyebrows slightly and curled her lips in disdain. "I won't say anything. I never talk about people behind their backs. You'll find out in a few days."

Although Luo Yu was curious, he didn't ask any further questions and took out a handful of coal coupons from his pocket.

"Second Aunt, I'm going to work tomorrow, could you help me buy some coal?"

After saying that, he took out two ten-yuan bills from his pocket.

Aunt Xi glared at Luo Yu and pulled out a ten-yuan note from Luo Yu's hand.

"They're so open and honest, they have no guile at all. How can they trust people so easily?"

Don't you know the saying "don't flaunt your wealth"? Aren't you afraid bad people will try to take advantage of you?

Luo Yu smiled ingratiatingly, "You're not an outsider, so you can see it."

Aunt Xi laughed and pointed at Luo Yu's forehead helplessly, saying, "You, you, you're so sweet-talking, always trying to coax me. Fine, I'll buy it for you. Once it's bought, I'll have your uncle install it for you tonight."

Oh, by the way, my second son gave me two coal coupons yesterday, asking me to buy some coal for you. I thought you'd definitely get your coupons today, so I didn't go. I'll buy them all together tomorrow.

Luo Yu was taken aback when she didn't expect Xi Beizhan to give Xi Ergu coal coupons so that she could buy coal for her.

This person is quite good at ingratiating themselves with others.

They've thought of everything thoroughly.

The two whispered about Xi Beizhan, and Xi Ergu intentionally or unintentionally brought up stories from Xi Beizhan's childhood to amuse Luo Yu, making Luo Yu sigh with emotion.

This person has been disliked by everyone since childhood, probably because he was too much of a jerk, no, too much of a troublemaker. But after joining the army, he rose through the ranks.

That's why they say the military trains people; anyone sent to the military can be disciplined and disciplined.

At this moment, Xi Beizhan was leaning back in his chair, looking at a stack of documents in his hand, with his legs propped up on the table in front of him. His lazy and relaxed posture made the head of the criminal investigation department opposite him twitch his eyes, wishing he could chop him up with a knife.

“You’re a former soldier, and you’re sitting like that. If your sergeant saw you, he’d yell at you to death.”

The head of the criminal investigation department was already feeling sorry for his old comrade-in-arms. If his comrades saw the way this brat was sitting, they would probably laugh at him.

His lifelong reputation is ruined; he'll surely weep to death on his bed.

"I've been discharged from the military."

The head of the criminal investigation department rolled his eyes in exasperation. "Once a soldier, always a soldier, Xi Beizhan, you..."

Before the head of the criminal investigation department could finish speaking, Xi Beizhan waved his hand impatiently, "I know, I know, stop dawdling. Is this all the information you have? Is it complete?"

The head of the criminal investigation department couldn't help but roll his eyes again. "It's complete? Don't you know who I am? Would I show it to you if it wasn't complete?"

"By the way, what do you suspect? That their family are spies?"

You can't say anything about things that are uncertain.

Xi Beizhan shook his head. "No, I've just taken a liking to Luo Yu and want to marry her. You said I'm a soldier, so we have to investigate things thoroughly before we marry her."

What if she already has someone she likes? I don't want my wife to have feelings for someone else.

The head of the criminal investigation department couldn't bear to watch. "Didn't you even ask her? Besides, did you tell her you liked her? Don't let her turn around and marry someone else before you even said anything."

Xi Beizhan raised his eyelids slightly. "That's why we need to find out the truth. And, hehe, I already told her I liked her. Coincidentally, she likes me too."

After saying that, Xi Beizhan touched his face.

Even though Luo Yu didn't say it, he knew that she had been staring at his face from the first moment they met, so she must have fallen for him at first sight.

Yes, that's how confident I am.

The head of the criminal investigation department rolled his eyes again. "Stop being so narcissistic. They just like your face."

"Your face is my own, so if you like my face, you like me as a person. What? You have a problem with that?"

The head of the criminal investigation department was afraid of him. "No, no, think whatever you want. How can I control you?"

"Hurry up, we need to return it after we're done reading it."

Xi Beizhan tossed the documents back to the head of the criminal investigation department, saying, "I've already read through this stuff, but I still feel uneasy about it."

Yesterday, when Luo Yu mentioned her past, he felt sorry for her, but since it hadn't happened to him, his empathy was limited. He also suspected that Luo Yu had exaggerated a bit.

After all, they are biological parents, born of the same parents, how can they be so biased?

But now the facts are right in front of him, and he has to believe that Luo Yu's life in those years was indeed not very good.

Like a little cabbage that no one loves, it's so pitiful that it breaks your heart.
