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

Xi Beizhan smiled and shook his head, then glanced at the door panel again.

"Honey, I'm going back to sleep. I'll buy breakfast tomorrow morning and we can eat at home before I go."

There was still no movement inside, but Xi Beizhan didn't care. He walked away with a smile as easy as an old fox.

Inside the room, Luo Yu had already buried herself in the covers, her face flushed, carefully recalling everything that had just happened.

Xi Beizhan's lips were warm. Except for the first two times he kissed her, which were a bit hasty, he was very gentle afterwards. This was what Luo Yu was most satisfied with. It showed that Xi Beizhan cherished her and did not want to hurt her.

Luo Yu fell asleep quickly, feeling shy, while Xi Beizhan barely slept a wink all night, touching his lips and grinning foolishly.

As dawn broke the next day, Xi Beizhan went out to buy breakfast, full of energy.

When Xi Beizhan returned, Luo Yu had just gotten up to wash up. When she saw him come in, she glared at him, picked up her towel, and went back to her room.

Xi Beizhan didn't care about being glared at, and took out a large bowl to pour the wontons he had bought into it.

Guan Daqiang and the other two hadn't gotten up yet when Aunt Xi told everyone not to wait for them and to hurry to the market after they finished eating, otherwise all the good stuff would be sold out if they were late.

Luo Yu and Xi Beizhan walked side by side, while Guan Jingyi skipped and hopped ahead. Hearing her cheerful laughter, Luo Yu and Xi Beizhan couldn't help but smile as well.

"It's nice to be young."

Luo Yu couldn't help but sigh.

Xi Beizhan looked at Luo Yu with amusement, "You talk as if you're old. You've just turned eighteen, not much older than Jingyi."

Luo Yu shook her head. "That's not what I meant."

She was talking about mindset.

A youthful mindset means you'll look younger than your peers even in your seventies or eighties. Conversely, an old mindset can make you look much older than your peers, even if you're not physically old.

What Luo Yu envied most was Guan Jingyi's carefree life. She could not think about anything. Every day when she opened her eyes, her family had arranged everything for her. Her eating, drinking and toileting were taken care of. Going to school and doing some homework was her only task.

Unlike her, who was an orphan in her previous life and couldn't even get enough to eat if she didn't work hard, in that era of fierce competition, if she relaxed, she would be kicked out of her rented room and fired from her company.

After arriving in this world, the original owner was just a nobody at home, and was even forced to give up her job so that her sister wouldn't have to go to the countryside. Even if the original owner hadn't been driven to death by anger this time, she probably wouldn't have survived for more than a few years after being forced to go to the countryside.

To put it bluntly, the original owner was too cowardly and timid. If she had been able to stand up for herself, she wouldn't have been bullied like this.

Thinking of the Luo family, Luo Yu suddenly said, "I'll go home this afternoon and tell them to get ready for next Sunday."

If she hadn't been told beforehand, given the Luo family's nature, they probably wouldn't have given her and Xi Beizhan a pleasant look, much less prepared any special dishes to entertain Xi Beizhan.

Although she didn't care, she didn't want Xi Beizhan to be treated poorly.

She can bully the person, but no one else can.

Xi Beizhan nodded. "Do you need me to give you a ride?"

"No need, I'm not married to you yet. I'll handle the Luo family's affairs myself."

Oh, and don't forget what I told you: no matter what conditions my family asks of you, don't agree. I'll take care of everything.

On that day, all you need to do is act like I'm in charge of everything.

"I was going to listen to you from now on."

Luo Yu smiled upon hearing this, and looked up at Xi Beizhan, "Good boy, I'll give you a reward when we get home."

Xi Beizhan leaned closer to Luo Yu and whispered, "The kind of reward you received last night?"

Luo Yu glared at Xi Beizhan, "You get cocky when you're given a little encouragement, you're asking for a beating."

Luo Yu raised his hand to hit Xi Beizhan, but Xi Beizhan laughed and ran away.

Luo Yu took off chasing after him, but forgot that they were still in an alley and hadn't reached the main road yet. The snow in the alley hadn't been cleared, and each household had only swept a small strip in front of their own door. The rest of the area had been trampled down by passersby, making the road very slippery. As Luo Yu accelerated, he immediately slipped and fell backward.

Oh no, I'm going to fall again.

There was no pain as I had imagined; instead, my waist was held firmly in my arms.

When Luo Yu opened her eyes, she saw Xi Beizhan looking at her with a gentle expression.

"Be careful, you almost fell."

Holding onto Xi Beizhan's arm to stand up, Luo Yu glared at Xi Beizhan with annoyance, "Isn't it all because of you?"

Xi Beizhan obediently admitted his mistake, "Okay, okay, it's my fault. I shouldn't have run away when you hit me, which almost made you fall. I should have just stood here and let you hit me until you were happy."

Luo Yu could easily tell that Xi Beizhan was teasing her, and she glared at him fiercely again, "You just wait, I'll deal with you when we get home."

Luo Yu walked away first, and Xi Beizhan followed behind, trying to appease her with kind words and even stuffing a hundred yuan into her hand before finally getting a forced smile from her.

"The market is huge, and we might have to split up if we want to buy something good. Just buy whatever you want, don't be afraid to spend money. Isn't the point of making money to spend it? I can still support you."

Luo Yu finally smiled after hearing Xi Beizhan's sincere words.

It's been said online that only men who genuinely spend money on you are worth entrusting your life to, and you should never marry a stingy man.

The three of them quickly arrived at the bus station and met up with several middle-aged women. After waiting for a while, everyone arrived, and just then the bus arrived. The group quickly squeezed onto the bus.

There is a direct bus from Wulong Mine to Wangying Mine, which is the final stop. However, Wangyingzi Market is still some distance from Wangying Mine, and it takes about 20 minutes to walk there.

The group got out of the car and, without bothering to talk or chat, bundled themselves up tightly and walked carefully through the snow.

The snow at the entrance of Wangying Mine has been cleared, but the snow from Wangying Mine to Wangying Township Market has not been cleared. Now the road is as smooth as a mirror from the passing vehicles, making it impossible to walk. The group can only walk on the snow on the side of the road, which is even more difficult to walk on.

It took several people a lot of effort to get to the market. Because of the delay on the way, the market courtyard was already packed with people and bustling with noise when they arrived.

Luo Yu had never been to a market before, and she stared in astonishment at the crowded courtyard in front of her.

There were too many people, and she didn't know how big the courtyard was, but there was only one gate, and she could hear the braying of donkeys inside.

Luo Yu was pulled and squeezed into the courtyard by Aunt Liu and the others. It was so difficult to move even one step. This reminded Luo Yu of her previous life when she had to rush to catch the subway every morning. If she didn't squeeze in, she would be late for work.

There were also things for sale on both sides of the gate. Luo Yu glanced down and saw that there was grain, but it was all coarse food and very little. At each stall, there were people squatting down asking the price, and some were even weighing the grain without asking the price.

Luo Yu also saw people squatting down to ask the price of baskets, bowls and basins for sale. There were also elderly people squatting on the ground, turning the baskets over and over to check if they were sturdy. After asking the price, they would not buy them but would insist on bargaining.

Luo Yu really wanted to ask, "What else do you want to negotiate with a basket that's only a dime in size? People spend so much time on it and even cut their fingers, how can you have the nerve to haggle with them?"
