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

The next day when Luo Yu went to work, her mood improved again.

This morning she received ten pounds of yarn, in five different colors, including two pounds of bright red. She plans to knit it into a sweater to wear at her wedding.

"Hey, Luo seems to be in a good mood today. Since he's in such a good mood, why don't you light the stove in a bit?"

Aunt Liu smiled and handed the stove hook to Luo Yu.

Luo Yu took the stove hook, cleaned the ashes out of the stove, and lit a piece of birch bark.

"Auntie, don't stand here, the smoke will bother you."

Aunt Liu smiled and nodded, but didn't leave. She picked up a handful of firewood and put it into the stove, pressing it down on the burning birch bark.

Soon the fire started burning, and Luo Yu added another half shovelful of coal.

Aunt Hu just brought the water back and put it on the stove. "You're back just in time. We'll have water to drink soon. It's so cold outside. I saw it was cloudy when I woke up this morning. It might snow this afternoon."

"Sister Zhang, has your son returned from his trip? Hopefully, he's safe from heavy snow; the roads are slippery and difficult to travel on."

Aunt Zhang collected the swept-up trash with a dustpan and placed it at the door. "I came back late last night. I won't be able to go out again for another three days. If it snows, it should have stopped by now."

"The snow will make the roads even harder to travel, so you'd better tell Xiao Zhou to drive carefully."

Aunt Zhao threw down the rag in her hand and plopped down in the chair.

"My old arms and legs are really too weak to work for many more years. Sister Zhang, it's getting cold, you have to be careful with your old leg pain, and soak your feet more often at night."

Aunt Zhang nodded with a smile, "I know, you're not saying you don't have rheumatism. We old folks all have our ailments."

Aunt Liu nodded in agreement, “That’s right. Apart from Xiao Luo, I’m the youngest in this house, but my health is getting worse every day. I always feel tired and anxious.”

Aunt Zhang rolled her eyes. "You're really something. You're two or three years younger than me. If you're like this, I might as well give up on life."

A group of middle-aged women finished their work while chatting. Once the fire was lit and the house became warm, the women took out their yarn and started knitting sweaters.

Director Xu has a meeting in the city today and won't be coming, which made everyone feel more relaxed.

Luo Yu also took out her yarn and started knitting.

She borrowed the knitting needles from Aunt Xi that morning; they were made of bamboo, not aluminum, which is more convenient to use.

"Where did Xiao Luo buy this yarn? The color is absolutely gorgeous!"

Aunt Hu had sharp eyes and immediately noticed the yarn in Luo Yu's hand when she looked up.

Luo Yu smiled and said, "My classmate works at the Western Store, and she got it for me. She just gave it to me yesterday."

By using Li Kexin's job to find out the origin of the yarn, she would have a ready-made excuse to bring out good things in the future.

Several middle-aged women watched with envy.

This yarn not only has a beautiful color, but it's also of excellent quality, much better than the yarn they have. If only I could get some...

"Xiao Luo, could your classmate get you some more?"

Aunt Hu asked in a low voice.

Luo Yu's eyebrows flashed, and a smile appeared in her eyes.

Perfect timing! She was thinking of being nicer to those older women yesterday, and now she can finally make that promise.

"Anything else? I need to ask, ma'am, what color do you want? How many? I'll ask my classmate later."

Aunt Hu's eyes lit up. "Want a ticket?"

Luo Yu frowned slightly. "I didn't use a ticket, but the price wasn't low."

Upon hearing this, several middle-aged women surrounded Luo Yu.

"We'll take as many as we can get, however many we can get."

Luo Yu was somewhat embarrassed.

She also wanted to knit a sweater for Xi Beizhan.

They could only give them a small amount.

"Let me ask. These yarns aren't easy to get. I heard they're reserved for higher-ups. This is what we've distributed. If my classmate's dad wasn't the store manager, we wouldn't be able to get these."

After Luo Yu said that, everyone exchanged knowing glances and looked at Luo Yu with even greater eagerness.

"Xiao Luo, we don't need much, just a little over a pound each, enough to knit a sweater."

Aunt Zhao walked over to Luo Yu, picked up Luo Yu's yarn to examine its quality, and became more and more pleased with it. She nodded to everyone, indicating her approval of the yarn's quality.

Everyone's eyes lit up, and they immediately surrounded it.

Luo Yu glanced at the closed office door and whispered, "I'll give it a try. I'll go there at noon and see if there's any left."

Otherwise, if it really snows this afternoon, the roads will be difficult to travel, and it won't snow again in a couple of days.

The women smiled and agreed, adding that Luo Yu could come a little later in the afternoon, and that with them watching over her, nothing would go wrong.

That's how office life is these days. If someone has something to do, it's okay for them to come in late or leave early. As long as their colleagues don't object, the boss will turn a blind eye. Besides, today their direct supervisor, Director Xu, isn't here.

Luo Yu smiled and agreed. When the lunch break bell rang, she didn't even have time to eat lunch. She quickly left the office and headed straight for the Central Store.

Watching Luo Yu walk away quickly, Aunt Zhao and the others laughed again.

"I don't know where Xiao Luo bought those steamed buns yesterday, they smelled so good, they didn't taste like the ones from a state-run restaurant."

"Absolutely! Just thinking about the smell of those buns makes my mouth water. I'll ask her another day if she made them herself, and we can try making some too."

"You glutton! Craftsmen all have secret recipes. Who knows if it's a secret recipe passed down from the Luo family? It's not something they can easily share, is it?"

"That's true. Let's not make things difficult for others just because we're craving something. Let's wait for another chance to have a couple of bites to satisfy our cravings."

The group chatted and laughed as they took the heated lunch off the stove. They then wrapped Luo Yu's lunchbox in several towels and placed it aside, covering it with two small mats so that Luo Yu could have a hot meal when she returned.

The stove was burning brightly, and if the food was heated for too long, it would easily burn at the bottom. The group was also worried about burning the bottom of the lunchbox.

Luo Yu quickly arrived at the Central Store, went inside and looked around, just in time to find that Sister Wang hadn't finished get off work yet.

"Sis, it's a good thing I arrived early, otherwise you would have gone to eat soon."

When Sister Wang saw that it was Luo Yu, her eyes lit up. She gave Luo Yu a reproachful look and said, "Why are you here again? Wait here, come eat with me in a bit. My mother-in-law made dumplings today, you're in for a treat."

"I just missed my sister."

As soon as Sister Wang stepped out from behind the counter, Luo Yu wrapped her arms around her and hugged Sister Wang tightly. Anyone could tell that the two sisters had a very good relationship.

The two walked out laughing and joking. Once they were outside the Central Store, Luo Yu smiled and let go of Sister Wang, then took out a handful of White Rabbit candies from his pocket and stuffed them into Sister Wang's pocket.

"Give it to my nephew to sweeten his mouth when he goes back."

Sister Wang accepted it generously without any hesitation.

"Come on, I'll take you to the warehouse. A batch of cotton just arrived the day before yesterday. Take some back to make quilts or something."

The two went to the warehouse one after the other, opened the door, and Luo Yu slipped inside.
