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

But they are paid and do women's work. Miao Xiaohua is a family member of a mine worker, and her thoughts and behaviors are also controlled by the mine and are under the jurisdiction of their Women's Federation. Her thinking is not progressive enough. She actually covered up Lü Dali's affair for twelve years in order not to get a divorce. That must also be due to the lack of education from them.

It was because they hadn't done their job properly; they hadn't actively educated Miao Xiaohua and her family members, and hadn't made her realize that it was now the new China, that women could hold up half the sky, and that she was no less capable than Lü Dali.

No matter the reason, they couldn't allow anyone to do something against their wishes. Miao Xiaohua didn't say anything, and they didn't live together, so how would they know? Didn't they see that even their neighbors didn't know?

"I had no other choice. After the incident with the Lin family girl last time, the higher-ups were already very dissatisfied with us. If something like this happens again, the higher-ups will definitely punish us."

"To be honest, it's also our fault for not doing our job properly. If we had noticed something was wrong with Lü Dali earlier, or if we had educated Comrade Miao Xiaohua in time, things wouldn't have gotten so ugly."

Luo Yu thought for a moment and then said, "Director, what do you think about us gathering these family members together and holding a class after this is over?"

Most of these family members came from difficult times, and some came from rural areas. They have low levels of education and insufficient understanding of the national situation and existing laws. We are holding a training class to let them learn about the current laws and regulations to prevent such incidents from happening again.

Director Xu thought for a moment and nodded, “I think it’s a good idea. Anyway, winter is coming soon, and we don’t have much work to do, so we can have time to hold this training course.”

"Let me see a plan first, and then we can talk."

After Director Xu finished speaking, he looked at Aunt Zhang and said with a smile, "If this training course is successfully organized, our Aunt Zhang will have made another contribution before retiring, and her pension might even be increased after retirement."

Aunt Zhang laughed heartily upon hearing this, "I don't care about the salary, what I care about is the credit. This can be considered a satisfactory ending."

I've worked my whole life, and it's just ending so quietly. It makes me feel terrible.

If the training course is a success, then I can leave with a sense of accomplishment.

Luo Yu twitched her lips twice after hearing this.

That's true, but it sounds so awkward. It's as if Aunt Zhang isn't retired, but rather on her deathbed.

Luo Yu agreed and quickly went to her seat to write down her plan.

Xi Beizhan rushed over before lunchtime, when it was not yet time to leave work.

"I'll go to Sister Wang's first, then to the state-run restaurant. But we didn't bring our lunchboxes this morning, so how about we buy two more?"

Luo Yu waved her hand, her eyes never leaving the table, "Tell Sister Wang to go to the warehouse and get you two defective items."

Seeing that Luo Yu was busy, Xi Beizhan nodded, "Okay, I understand, you can continue with your work."

Xi Beizhan went downstairs, didn't return to the security office, and went straight out the gate.

The gatekeeper, Lao Gao, was smoking a cigarette that Xi Beizhan had just given him, his eyes glazed over, as if he were about to fall asleep.

Xi Beizhan arrived at the Central Store and soon met Sister Wang.

It was almost lunchtime, and there weren't many customers in the department store. Almost everyone was going home to cook at this time, which gave Sister Wang some free time.

As soon as Sister Wang saw Xi Beizhan, she knew why he had come.

"Come with me, I've already arranged with them. We'll pick it up next Monday at noon, two pig trotters."

By the way, where's Xiao Luo? Why didn't she come?

Xi Beizhan smiled and said, "When I came out, Luo Yu was busy and didn't even have time to eat. So, after I got the pig's trotters, I still had to go to the state-run restaurant to buy her a meal."

"Oh, right, Sister Wang, I forgot my lunchbox this morning. Luo Yu asked me to buy two defective items from you. What do you think…?"

Sister Wang rolled her eyes at Xi Beizhan, "You two have terrible memories. What are you going to do? You even forgot your lunchboxes?"

My lunchbox is full of food, otherwise I would have let you use it, so you wouldn't waste your money.

Okay, let's buy it anyway, otherwise it'll be useless.

Instead of going to the grocery store, Sister Wang took Xi Beizhan to the warehouse in the back. She didn't even let Xi Beizhan go in; she went in herself and took out two lunch boxes.

When she came out, she whispered to Xi Beizhan, "Go back and ask Xiao Luo if she wants any of the few flawed pieces of cloth I have here."

There's another batch of yarn tomorrow, but the dyeing is uneven; it'll look the same as when I knitted wool pants underneath.

Upon hearing that there was an opportunity to profit, Xi Beizhan quickly whispered, "Thank you in advance, sister. I'll ask her when I get home."

Sister Wang rolled her eyes at Xi Beizhan again, "What are you thanking me for? We're like family. Come on, let's go get the pig's trotters."

Xi Beizhan took the pig's trotters and paid for them. Sister Wang went back first, telling Xi Beizhan before leaving that if Luo Yu wanted to buy them, they could come back tomorrow at noon.

Xi Beizhan took the pig's trotters and went straight to the state-run restaurant. He asked the waiter to scald the lunchbox with boiling water before ordering.

I bought a plate of hot and sour shredded potatoes, a plate of shredded pork with garlic sauce, and ten large white steamed buns, and ran and stumbled back to the mine.

In this day and age, state-run restaurants serve larger portions, so Luo Yu invited several older women to eat with them.

The women didn't stand on ceremony; each of them picked up two pieces of food with their chopsticks and put them in their bowls, and then casually gave the two of them some of the food they had brought.

Luo Yu couldn't finish the two steamed buns, so she ate one and a half and gave the remaining half to Xi Beizhan.

Xi Beizhan ate three of them and also ate the half that Luo Yu had left, before patting his stomach and feeling full.

After finishing his meal, Xi Beizhan went downstairs. He had a lot on his plate, and Section Chief Xing had completely given up on him, leaving everything to Xi Beizhan. Every day, he not only had to lead the patrol team out, but also had to sit in his office scratching his head. Not to mention, just managing the security department's shift schedule required a lot of brainpower.

Luo Yu finished the plan in one afternoon. Director Xu went to a meeting in the district in the afternoon and left long ago, so Luo Yu had to put it aside for the time being and deal with it tomorrow.

In the afternoon, several middle-aged women started knitting sweaters, and Luo Yu was not idle either, taking out a book to read.

As the group was talking, they heard someone crying outside the door.

The group was stunned for a moment, then dropped what they were holding and ran outside.

As soon as the group stepped out of the office, a plump middle-aged woman in her fifties rushed towards them.

The group was startled and retreated in unison.

This person is so fat they're practically a pig. If they were hit, with their small build, they'd definitely end up in the hospital.

"Oh my god, this is terrible! The young widow is bullying us! You, the upright official, must stand up for us common people!"

When the middle-aged woman rushed into the Women's Federation office, the older women knew that she was there for them.

But upon hearing her words, his face turned completely black.

"What are you talking about? What 'upright and just official'? Is that something you can just talk about like that? Are you trying to turn back the clock on history?"

Aunt Hu questioned her sharply, her eyes practically murderous.
