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

He flattered Section Chief Ren with a single sentence and then subtly promised to speak well of him to Section Chief Ren's face. This is the art of language.

The junior officer was very happy and enthusiastically introduced Luo Yu to which houses were close to the mine, which houses were better, and which houses had friendly neighbors. He went on and on, not noticing that Xi Beizhan had been glaring at him several times.

Unable to resist any longer, Xi Beizhan reached out and covered the notebook with his hand.

"I know where the houses are good, come with me."

The junior staff member and Luo Yu exchanged a glance, which drew a cold snort from Xi Beizhan, who turned and left in dissatisfaction.

The junior staff member had to go along to confirm the location and record it in a notebook, so Luo Yu followed behind Xi Beizhan with him.

The three of them exited the gate of Wulong Mine, turned right, passed the wall of Wulong Mine, and walked along the wall further in.

Right next to the Wulong Mine was a large residential area, all of them neat single-story houses. The houses didn't look very new, but they were all brick and tile houses, which was quite rare in this day and age.

The three walked for another two minutes, passed through the first row of houses and came to the second row. They went into the first house, and Xi Beizhan stood in front of the door without moving.

He raised his hand to knock on the door, and immediately heard a cheerful female voice from inside.

"Who?"

"Second Aunt, it's me, open the door."

With a creak, the door opened, and the person arrived before they even heard a sound.

"You brat, do you even know which way my front door opens? I never see you all day, what are you busy with all day? Don't you even have time to come home for a meal?"

After saying that, he slapped Xi Beizhan hard on the back.

Xi Beizhan didn't mind and called out with a smile, "Second Aunt, I'm here now. Don't stand there, I brought a guest."

Aunt Xi stepped out of the gate and looked at both sides of the gate with a puzzled expression.

She knew Xiao Zhang from the housing management department. Yesterday, she went to the housing management department to try and get the house across the street back. Xiao Zhang was the one who received her. They were old acquaintances.

Let's look behind Xiao Zhang.

Aunt Xi's eyes lit up.

"Hey! Whose daughter is this? She's really pretty!"

Pushing Xi Beizhan aside and pulling Xiao Zhang over, Aunt Xi Er stood in front of Luo Yu in the blink of an eye, smiling as she looked Luo Yu up and down.

This girl is really pretty, but she's too thin.

Judging from their clothes, their family must be so poor they can't even afford to eat!

Aunt Xi didn't mind at all and pulled Luo Yu towards her home.

"Come on, Auntie will cook you something delicious. Why are you so thin? You poor thing."

Before she could say a word or even greet anyone, Luo Yu was forcibly dragged into the house, leaving her completely bewildered.

She was from Northeast China in her previous life, and she knew about the hospitality of Northeasterners. But this was the first time she had been forcibly dragged into someone's home and fed like this. She had no choice but to come in.

Aunt Xi held Luo Yu's hand tightly with her large, calloused hands, afraid that she would run away halfway.

Having been forcibly dragged into the house, Luo Yu had no choice but to first look around the small courtyard.

Luo Qing's yard was very small, less than ten square meters. The ground was covered with furnace ash, which was pressed down hard so that it wouldn't be muddy even when it rained or snowed.

To the left of the courtyard was a coal shed without even a door, and to the right was a small annex, no bigger than ten square meters.

Opposite the main gate is the main house. The central hall is only about six or seven square meters and has been converted into a kitchen. The house on the right is Xi Qing's house.

Before entering, Luo Yu glanced at the room on the left. The door was locked, and she didn't know if anyone lived there.

Aunt Xi pressed Luo Yu down to sit on the kang (a heated brick bed), saying, "Come on, get on the kang, it's warm here. Sit at the head of the kang."

Before Luo Yu could react, Aunt Xi had already taken off Luo Yu's shoes, helped her lift her legs onto the kang (a heated brick bed), and casually tossed her a mattress.

"Cover it up, so it won't get cold."

Luo Yu, feeling embarrassed, quickly stopped her from throwing more blankets at her, saying, "Second Aunt Xi, don't bother, this is fine, I'm not cold anymore."

Aunt Xi ignored her and covered her with the quilt, even tucking her feet inside. Then she sat on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed) and looked at her with a smile.

"What's the girl's name?"

Luo Yu blushed and whispered, "Luo Yu."

Aunt Xi slapped her thigh and exclaimed, "What a nice name! It sounds like someone who's cultured."

Aunt Xi then looked at Xi Beizhan, who was standing motionless at the door.

"I'm asking you."

Xi Beizhan knew what her second aunt meant, and then explained, "Yu is a treasure."

Luo Yu's face turned even redder.

Aunt Xi looked at Luo Yu with a wide smile, and the more she looked at Luo Yu, the more she liked her.

This girl is really pretty; she's a perfect match for the second son.

"How old is the girl this year?"

"Eighteen."

What's your educational background?

"It's been more than half a year since I graduated from high school."

"Wow, still a high school student? That's impressive, and quite cultured at that."

"Okay, okay."

Why is Aunt Xi so enthusiastic?

Aunt Xi glanced at Xi Beizhan, who was staring at Luo Yu, and made up her mind. Just as she was about to continue speaking, she heard Xi Beizhan's slightly aggrieved voice.

"Aunt Xi, may I come in?"

Aunt Xi then remembered that Xiao Zhang from the housing management department was still standing at the door.

Aunt Xi stood up apologetically, pushed Xi Beizhan aside again, and pulled Xiao Zhang in with a smile, pressing him to sit on the kang (a heated brick bed).

"It's all because the second son is too tall, I didn't even see you. What brings you here today? Did the house we applied for come down?"

With so many people in the family, if we don't separate the rooms soon, there won't be enough room for everyone. It wouldn't look good if our daughter, who's already so old, still had to share a bed with those two old folks.

Aunt Xi has a son and a daughter. Her son got married last year and lives in a mud-brick house built in the courtyard. Her daughter is still in school and lives in the same room with them. The room is too small to fit two kang beds, so they can only put a curtain between them when they sleep at night.

Housing is scarce now, almost every family is in this situation, so no one should look down on anyone else.

Xiao Zhang quickly replied, "No, no, no, your house hasn't been approved yet. I'm here today to show Comrade Xiao Luo the house, the one across from yours."

Upon hearing this, Aunt Xi's expression turned somewhat unpleasant.

What she wanted was the house across the street. Although it wasn't big, it was enough for her daughter to live in by herself.

But she also knew that it was unlikely that the room would be allocated to her, because there were many people whose housing was even more cramped than theirs, and it was common for six or seven people to live on one kang (a heated brick bed).

Although I'm not very happy, it doesn't seem like it would be a bad idea to give the house to Luo's daughter.

Looking at Luo Yu again, she was decent-looking and seemed to have a decent personality for the time being. She shouldn't be a troublesome person, so there shouldn't be any disagreements if they lived together.

Aunt Xi is not afraid of people living here, but she is afraid of people who cause trouble. No family doesn't want to live in peace and quiet. It's too noisy to keep arguing and fighting all the time!

Seeing Luo Yu's delicate and quiet appearance, Aunt Xi felt that she was not a troublesome person, and she was even more satisfied.

Even if she's not satisfied, it's not okay; she doesn't have the final say when it comes to the house.

"Okay, you can rest assured when you stay at your aunt's house. We only have one son and one daughter, so there won't be much trouble. Your sister-in-law is also a good-natured person. You'll see when you meet her."

"Alright, Xiao Zhang, open the door and let Xiao Luo see the house. If it's alright, I'll help her tidy it up. No one's lived here for over a year; I don't know how filthy it is inside. It'll take some time to clean it up."
