Aunt Hu slammed her teacup on the table. "What did he ask? Heh, that coward, with such a big thing happening at home, he actually asked his wife, 'They're all in the hospital now, what are his good nephews going to eat tonight? Who's going to cook for them?'"

"Damn, I've never seen such a rotten man."

Luo Yu was shocked.

Holy crap! There really are men in this world who are blindly filial to their parents!

She really does obey her mother's every command!

Luo Yu didn't know what to say, but Xi Beizhan on the side had something to say.

Xi Beizhan grabbed Luo Yu's hand and placed it on his chest, gazing at her with deep affection.

“Wife, I have no parents, my brother died early, and I have no family burdens, so no one will force me to raise my nephew. You don’t have to put up with your mother-in-law’s temper. I will only listen to you and obey your every command in this life.”

After hearing this, Luo Yu didn't know whether she should be moved to tears or shake off the goosebumps on her body.

"Haha, I never expected that our Captain Xi is such a sentimental person. Our little Luo is truly blessed in this life."

"We heard what Captain Xi said. If you ever treat Xiao Luo badly in this life, don't blame us older sisters for cursing you to death."

……

Several middle-aged women winked at Luo Yu, signaling her to quickly express her opinion.

Luo Yu sighed inwardly, mimicking Xi Beizhan's mannerisms, and grabbed his hand with the same affectionate expression, uttering the most classic confession lines from Aunt Qiong Yao in a teasing tone.

"I believe you. Until the mountains crumble and the heavens and earth unite, I will never part from you."

Luo Yu saw that Xi Beizhan looked blank, clearly not understanding.

Well, what a waste of her feelings.

Come again.

"If you never leave me, I will be with you through life and death. Comrade Xi Beizhan, are you willing to become a pair of lovebirds with me and fly together side by side?"

You little brat, daring to cause trouble, I'll disgust you to death!

This time, Xi Beizhan understood. He didn't understand anything else, but he knew what the "birds flying wing to wing" meant.

Xi Beizhan's eyes were sparkling, and the way he looked at Luo Yu was as if he wanted to devour her whole.

Luo Yu was relieved to see that Xi Beizhan understood, but then she thought, wait a minute, she went there to disgust him, but now he seems quite happy.

"Look, look, you have to be a cultured person to speak so nicely."

"Xiao Luo's cultural level is quite high. He can instantly quote poetry to express his love and determination to be with Captain Xi, which is rare."

Director Xu gave Luo Yu an approving look, and then looked at Xi Beizhan, who was smiling like a fool.

"Captain Xi is so lucky. There aren't many girls who dare to pursue love these days. Most families still have the old-fashioned ideas. Marriage is decided by parents. You marry whoever your parents want you to marry. Some get married after only meeting a few times. How your marriage turns out depends on what kind of person the man is."

Some people are lucky enough to marry someone with a good temper and live a good life, while others... well, it depends on fate!

Xi Beizhan nodded in agreement upon hearing this, then looked at Luo Yu with deep affection, "It really depends on fate. My wife has a good fate."

Several middle-aged women and Director Xu rolled their eyes at the same time.

If you want to praise yourself, just say so directly; there's no need to beat around the bush.

Xi Beizhan ignored the older women and focused all his attention on Luo Yu, circling around her.

She was busy pouring water, helping to stretch the yarn ball, and feeding Luo Yu sugar cubes. She was so busy that her feet barely touched the ground.

Luo Yu couldn't stand it anymore and handed over both her own and Xi Beizhan's tokens to him.

"It's cold outside, so bring back both of our benefits."

Xi Beizhan took the poker and turned to leave, but was called back by several middle-aged women.

When Xi Beizhan came out of the office again, he had seven hand stamps in his pocket.

Less than an hour later, Xi Beizhan returned with Shao Yang.

"Are they giving out oranges?"

Aunt Liu opened the cloth bag and took a look. "It really is."

I took out an orange, peeled it, and put it in my mouth. I immediately squinted because of the sourness, and my face distorted.

"acid."

I ate one slice, but I couldn't eat the rest no matter what, so I put it back.

Shao Yang happily took the items out of the cloth bag one by one.

"The year-end bonuses given by the mine manager this year are better than in previous years. In previous years, it was only one pound of fruit and two ounces of white sugar, but this year it is brown sugar, and each person also received an extra two ounces of tea."

The mine is doing well this year, so the employees' welfare benefits have naturally improved as well.

The group divided the items, putting Xi Beizhan's and Luo Yu's together, and then casually placing their handprints on Luo Yu's plate.

Luo Yu accepted them all without hesitation.

It wasn't until after get off work that Luo Yu remembered about getting a letter of introduction.

"Have you booked a room yet?"

Xi Beizhan took out two letters of introduction, flicked them, and said with a smug look, "Of course, how could I forget such an important matter! I've even asked for leave for tomorrow morning. We'll get the marriage certificate tomorrow morning and come back to get paid in the afternoon."

I'll talk to my aunt in a bit and ask her to cook something nice for tomorrow night—a fish and some stewed ribs. What do you think?

Luo Yu nodded, "Okay, let's do it this way. Although it's not the official date, getting the marriage certificate is still a big deal, so we should eat something nice."

Xi Beizhan happily hugged Luo Yu and spun her around. When no one was around, he kissed her hard on the cheek.

Luo Yu took the opportunity to wrap her arms around Xi Beizhan's neck, stood on tiptoe, and kissed Xi Beizhan's lips with a smile.

Xi Beizhan felt he was bold enough, but he didn't expect his wife to be even bolder than him, daring to kiss him in public.

If they were indoors, his wife would be ecstatic if she were this proactive, but outside...

While returning Luo Yu's kiss, Xi Beizhan's eyes darted around, and his ears twitched as well, afraid that someone might try to cause trouble while he was busy.

Luo Yu released Xi Beizhan's neck and slapped his arm in dissatisfaction, "You're not paying attention. No more kissing. Let's go home."

Seeing that Luo Yu seemed angry, Xi Beizhan quickly stepped forward to apologize.

"No, honey, I'm just afraid someone will see us. What if they see us hugging and kissing in the street? They'll report us!"

"Wife, come home. Once you're home, no one's around. You can do whatever you want with me."

When Luo Yu heard that Xi Beizhan was at her disposal, her eyes lit up, and she squinted at his lower abdomen with ill intent.

She's been eyeing Comrade Xi's eight-pack abs for a long time. Is it possible for her to touch them today?

For some reason, Xi Beizhan felt that his wife's gaze was a little creepy today, and he couldn't help but shudder.

"Honey, it's getting dark and the temperature is dropping. Let's hurry home."

Xi Beizhan tightened his coat and took Luo Yu's hand as they walked home.

When they arrived home, Aunt Xi had already prepared the meal and told the two of them to wash their hands and eat quickly.

After dinner, Xi Beizhan talked to Xi Ergu about getting their marriage certificate the next day, and asked Xi Ergu to cook something delicious for them the following night.

Hearing that the two had already prepared the letters of introduction, Aunt Xi smiled broadly and quickly agreed.

Luo Yu pulled Guan Jingyi to her room and gave her the half-pound of White Rabbit candy she had bought a few days ago.
