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

Luo Yu arranged for the four of them to stay in the west room. Although it was a bit cramped, it would be fine for just one night.

The young soldiers were not happy and wanted to stay at the guesthouse, but then they saw Luo Yu awkwardly touch his nose.

"Well, the nearest guesthouse, Wulong Mine, is closed down. The nearest one is in the west, which is more than ten minutes away by car. It's cold, so you shouldn't bother. It's just for one night, so it doesn't matter where you stay."

"That's settled then. You'll stay in this room and leave tomorrow morning after breakfast."

They were warmly invited to stay, and they couldn't refuse, so the four of them had no choice but to stay.

The bedding was readily available at home. Luo Yu took out four sets of bedding from the kang (heated brick bed), and the four of them made the bed themselves without her having to lift a finger.

Luo Yu went next door to discuss with Aunt Xi and Aunt Xi's second aunt that they wanted to make some food for the four little soldiers to take on the road tomorrow, and also pick up Yuanyuan.

As soon as Luo Yu stepped out the door, Hei Dou pounced on her.

When Hei Dou came in, he wanted to jump on Luo Yu, but when he saw that Luo Yu was carrying a bunch of things, he didn't come over. He just watched from a distance, feeling very wronged. Now that Luo Yu has nothing in her hands, Hei Dou certainly can't miss the chance to kiss his mother.

After playing with Black Bean for a while, the four little soldiers became interested in the dog and ran out to play with Black Bean as well, which freed Luo Yu.

At the gatehouse, Xi Nanzheng looked at the neatly arranged medals and certificates on the cabinet and couldn't help but feel envious.

Why did you bring all of them here?

Xi Beizhan lay down next to Xi Nanzheng and said, "When I was getting married and cleaning the house, my wife said that she would save a room for you to stay in when you come back."

My wife said, this is our home, and it's also your home. There will always be a room for you in this home.

After this gatehouse was built, only Uncle Wei came to stay for two days. No one has lived there since. My second aunt used to come and clean it every day, but later my eldest aunt came back and took over.

Xi Beizhan's voice was calm, but his seemingly indifferent face couldn't hide the smugness in his eyes.

Look how nice his wife is, she even thought of saving you a room.

After listening, Xi Nanzheng was so moved that he couldn't help but shed tears.

"Why...why are you doing this? I was dead back then, aren't you afraid I really died? This house will never be lived in for the rest of my life?"

Even if he and his brother were very close, he wouldn't have thought of such a comprehensive plan to preserve a room for a dead person. The fact that Luo Yu could think of this shows that she truly cared for her brother.

This sister-in-law is really lucky. Second Aunt was right. The Xi family is so fortunate to have Luo Yu as their daughter-in-law. Their ancestors' graves are truly blessed.

Xi Beizhan laughed, "My wife said that as long as we haven't seen your body, it means you might still be alive. In our hearts, you've never died; you've just gone on a secret mission and will come back someday. That's why I wasn't very excited to see you. I had already expected this."

Xi Nanzheng vigorously wiped his face. "Your wife is smarter than you, so listen to her more."

Xi Beizhan rolled his eyes. "That's her, that's my wife. Would I marry her if she wasn't good?"

Brother, you have no idea, I fell in love with my wife at first sight. I knew then that I had to marry her.

When I asked her, she said she also had feelings for me, and we were truly in love.

Xi Beizhan grinned smugly, making Xi Nanzheng roll his eyes.

This fool!

……

The four young soldiers ate breakfast at Guan's house the next morning and left, leaving behind ten yuan and two jin of grain coupons.

When they got on the bus, they discovered that there was a package on each of the back seats, containing ten freshly baked flatbreads and two bottles of meat sauce.

After the four left, the Xi and Guan families finally relaxed. Guan Jingyi went to the Xi family early in the morning to see Xi Nanzheng.

She was young when she last met Xi Nanzheng and had no impression of him at all. This time, she was immediately shocked.

"Second Brother, you and Third Brother look so alike." (This order is based on the Guan family's side. Aunt Xi calls Xi Beizhan the Second Son, which is based on the Xi family's order. Guan Jingyi calling Xi Nanzheng the Second Brother is correct.)

Xi Nanzheng laughed and said, "Really? Then tell me, is your second brother more handsome, or your third brother?"

Guan Jingyi looked conflicted. After thinking for a moment, she said, "I like my second brother's personality and my third brother's looks."

Okay, you don't offend anyone, you're quite shrewd.

Guan Jingyi just started high school this year and has grown up quite a bit. She has matured a lot. Both the Guan and Xi families are tall, and Guan Jingyi is no exception, standing at 1.66 meters. She is still young and can grow even taller. Luo Yu estimates that she can grow to around 1.7 meters.

Moreover, Guan Jingyi is extremely beautiful and can definitely be called a school beauty. She has only just entered high school and has already attracted many male classmates to show their affection for her.

Guan Jingyi showed no interest in these boys. In her mind, a man should be like Xi Beizhan, joining the army, making contributions, and protecting the country and the people. That kind of man is the most handsome.

Now Guan Jingyi has another mountain in her heart called Xi Nanzheng, and those boys have even less hope.

Luo Yu and Xi Beizhan rested at home for a day before going to work. Xi Beizhan first went to see Director Hao, and Director Hao and Secretary Chang came to visit Xi Nanzheng at noon.

Upon seeing Xi Nanzheng, the two elderly men, both over fifty, burst into tears, recounting their recent experiences and... the trouble caused by Xi Beizhan.

In particular, the two kept complaining to Xi Nanzheng that their paychecks were gone as soon as they received their salaries. Over the years, due to Xi Beizhan's shameless robbery, the cigarettes they smoked had been downgraded several grades. Heaven help you, the two dignified mine directors and mine secretaries were smoking cheap cigarettes without filters. Who could they complain to?

What's even more infuriating is that Xi Beizhan has already quit smoking. Tell me, if you don't smoke, why do you keep taking their cigarettes?

People say that cigarettes make things easier, but if he doesn't smoke, the people who help him have to!

They hoarded it all, but it all benefited outsiders. It's upsetting to think about.

Xi Nanzheng's lips twitched as he listened. After the two finished complaining, Xi Nanzheng delivered a fatal blow to them.

"Why don't you all quit smoking too?"

That's his own brother, what could he say? He could only side with his brother.

Yes, that's it, no problem!

Mine Manager Hao, Party Secretary Chang...

Oh no! In just one week, Nanzheng has been corrupted by that brat Beizhan. How are they going to get by from now on?

There's already a robber, and now there's a accomplice who's covering for them. How are they supposed to live?

They won't steal from them once they start working, right?

God help me, please don't end up like Xi Beizhan!

The two old men got so angry that they turned and left.

As soon as they stepped out of the house, they saw Old Wei stride in.

The three exchanged glances. "You've also come to see the Southern Expedition?"

Mine Manager Hao and Secretary Chang nodded. "You've received the news too?"

Old Wei nodded. "How's the southern expedition going?"

Mine Manager Hao: "He looks quite energetic; he should be recovering well."

Relieved, Lao Wei nodded to the two men again and hurried to the gatehouse to check on Xi Nanzheng.
