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

After discussing it further, Director Hao and Chang Shufang left with Xi Beizhan and Section Chief Xing.

Back at the mine in the afternoon, Section Chief Xing made another phone call from Mine Manager Hao's office, and Comrade Xiao Wei answered the phone.

Section Chief Xing said a few words, then asked Mine Manager Hao to take the phone.

Without any hesitation, Director Hao reassigned a new task to Comrade Wei.

After hanging up the phone, the four of them breathed a sigh of relief and sprawled out on the sofa.

"Before anyone else can react, we must quickly find out what happened. If he really is a spy, he must be arrested and interrogated by our mine. We absolutely cannot let him fall into the hands of others."

Secretary Chang sat up straight, picked up the teacup, and took two big gulps.

"Bei Zhan, keep an eye on that guy these next few days, don't let him escape at this crucial moment."

Xi Beizhan immediately stood up, saluted, and said, "Yes, sir, I guarantee I will complete the mission."

……

That night, Xi Beizhan still didn't go home, and Luo Yu didn't even see him. However, he sent someone to tell Luo Yu that he was busy these past few days and didn't have time to spend with her, but he would apologize to her after he finished his business.

Luo Yu smiled as she saw the person off, though she wondered what important thing Xi Beizhan had to be so busy with that he neglected his wedding and just left her aside like that.

But she didn't show any dissatisfaction. When she got off work in the evening, she still smiled and read and played with Guan Jingyi. As for the wedding room, it was almost finished. Guan Daqiang and Guan Jingtian helped move the sewing machine, bicycle and radio in before they went to work in the afternoon. Now only the furniture was left.

When Luo Yu got home that evening, Aunt Xi brought him chicken soup.

"Didn't your second son buy a chicken at the market? He asked me to stew it for you to nourish your body. I was busy the other day, so I had someone bring some goji berries back today. Stewing them with the chicken will make it even more nourishing. Here, drink this bowl of chicken soup. I've been stewing it for most of the day. Tomorrow I'll make fish soup instead. You need to replenish at least four or five pounds of your body before you get married."

Luo Yu took the bowl of chicken soup and glanced at it. Sure enough, there were a few bright red goji berries floating on top. The oil on the chicken soup had been skimmed off very cleanly, and the aroma was enough to whet one's appetite.

Luo Yu thanked him and then downed the drink in one gulp with a smile.

Seeing that Luo Yuquan had drunk it, Aunt Xi smiled with satisfaction. "That's right. If ginseng weren't so expensive, I would have liked to put some in for you."

"I'll ask my second son later, see if he has any connections. I heard there are some deep in the mountains of Heilongjiang Province, but I don't know if he can get his hands on them."

Ginseng? She has it!

It's just that it's inconvenient to take it out right now. It's not for any other reason than that her ginseng is a bit coarse, and it's not easy to pass it off as something else even if it's sliced.

Luo Yu thought about it and finally came up with a solution.

The whole ginseng root is too difficult to handle, and the main body of the ginseng is also hard to cut, but the roots should be fine, right?

The roots are easy to spot, so how about chopping them up?

She refused to believe that, after all she had done, people could still tell that it was a century-old ginseng.

That evening, Luo Yu brought a vegetable chopping board and a cutting board into the house, took out a ginseng from the system space, peeled off all the roots from the ginseng, and then chopped it up on the cutting board.

Luo Yu didn't cut it too finely; each piece was about one centimeter long. Some of the thicker roots were split in the middle before being cut, so that people who didn't know the ginseng really couldn't tell its age.

After cutting it, there wasn't much left. Luo Yu cut another one. Looking at the two bare ginseng roots, Luo Yu closed his eyes and, with a heavy heart, cut the whole ginseng root off.

Not only do you have to slice it, but you also have to make two cuts on each slice. The largest slices of ginseng are chopped into tiny pieces, like chopping filling for dumplings. After all that slicing, you can't even tell what it is anymore.

After destroying the entire century-old ginseng, and storing the half-destroyed half of another one in his spatial storage, Luo Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief, planning to destroy it again next time.

Okay, starting tomorrow, she can stop drinking tea at work and start drinking ginseng health tea instead.

"I'll buy some more goji berries, chrysanthemums, and malva nuts tomorrow, then we'll have everything."

Luo Yu only remembered to sign in before going to bed. Today's task was ten bottles of chili sauce. Luo Yu glanced at it, wasn't interested, and tossed it aside.

In the following days, Xi Beizhan seemed to have disappeared. He was nowhere to be seen at his workplace during the day, and he never went home for dinner at night. He didn't even show up on Sundays.

More than a week passed, and on the morning of January 10th, Luo Yu began signing one document every day.

【Sign in】

[Ding! Sign-in successful. Rewards are as follows:]

1. 10 buckets of milk

2. 100 yuan in cash

Congratulations, host, on successfully surviving for twenty-one days in this other world. The reward has been deposited into your system space. Please check it yourself.

Luo Yu, who was brushing her teeth, didn't think much of it when she heard that the system gave her milk today. But when she heard that it was the 21st day, she spat out a mouthful of water and coughed violently while clutching her chest.

Aunt Xi rushed out of the house, patting Luo Yu's back, "Why are you choking? Is your nose bothering you? Did anything get into your nose?"

Luo Yu waved her hands repeatedly, "No, Auntie, I'm fine. I just choked a little when I tried to spit out the water, but I feel much better now."

Aunt Xi believed her. "Be careful, you've only just recovered a bit these past two days. Don't get sick again. Are you still feeling unwell? If not, go to the hospital to get checked out."

Why would she go to the hospital if she choked? That would only make her a laughingstock!

"I'm fine, Auntie, don't worry. Look, I can speak fluently now, I'm really alright."

"Okay, I'm going back to my room now. I've only made half of the steamed buns. You should go back and lie down for a while. I'll wake you up when the steamed buns are done."

Luo Yu smiled and agreed, then turned around and went into the house with a gloomy expression.

After locking the door, Luo Yu stared at the system panel emitting a dim light and felt, for the first time, the urge to smash it.

What's wrong with this lousy system? Does it think she's dead?

If you're going to give a reward, then give it properly. Why did you have to choose this 37th day? How did you even pick this date?

When the rewards were given out every week, she suspected that the system was messing around and might give her a big surprise on the 21st day. But when the day actually came, she still couldn't quite accept it.

The system was inaccessible; even if Luo Yu wanted to uninstall it, he couldn't—it simply didn't have that function. Therefore, no matter how unwilling Luo Yu was, he could only helplessly roar in frustration.

Taking two deep breaths to calm herself down, Luo Yu told herself that she must not get angry. Getting angry would not harm the system at all, so she might as well accept it.

Looking at the ten extra buckets of milk in the system space, Luo Yu felt something was wrong, so she took one out. As soon as the milk bucket left the space, Luo Yu almost screamed.

The huge white plastic bucket was filled to the brim with milk; judging by its capacity, it must weigh at least 100 kilograms.

Luo Yu covered her mouth, widened her eyes, and circled the milk bucket, discovering the capacity on the side of the bucket.

It really weighs 100 jin (50 kg), it's clearly written on the bucket.

Luo Yu swallowed twice and quickly took out all the milk buckets. Upon inspection, they all weighed 100 jin (50 kg).

Having determined the weight, Luo Yu shakily put all the milk buckets back into her spatial storage and devoutly bowed to the system panel.

System, I was wrong. From now on, I'm willing to celebrate even the 3rd or 5th anniversary, let alone the 3rd or 5th.

As long as you're supportive, I'd be willing to die again.
