1970s: A hot-tempered wife who accompanied a soldier to the military compound and made a fortune.

Chapter 874 You child, what can I say?
Because it was a last-minute decision, I had to leave with the car early the next morning.

Yes, this time I didn't go by train, but went with the steel rolling mill's delivery truck.

Besides delivering goods and settling accounts, this business trip also included another task: purchasing beef and mutton to distribute as New Year's bonuses.

The section chief originally wanted the male colleagues in the section to go with him, but when they heard that they were going to Inner Mongolia, they each had their own excuses.

In fact, the section chief didn't have high hopes for Chu Xue either. He just thought that if she didn't agree, he would force Jiang Taojun to go.

After all, although he refused, he also said that if Corey really had no one willing to go, then he would go with them.

Chu Xue composed herself: "Section Chief, don't worry, I will definitely do my job well and won't let you down."

Section Chief Li turned and went into his office, taking out some national grain coupons from his desk: "Come on, now that the first snow has passed, everyone has to contribute something."

With Section Chief Li taking the lead, others also contributed some national grain coupons and meat coupons: "Go home now and pack your things. You need to be at the factory by 5:30 tomorrow morning."

Once the section chief reported it, the factory naturally realized that it was inconvenient for a young girl to be with a group of grown men.

As Chu Xue entered the room, Xiao's mother asked, "Why are you back so early today?"

Chu Xue put down what she was carrying: "I'm going on a business trip tomorrow. I'll pack my bags when I get back."

Xiao's mother stopped what she was doing: "Where are you going?"

As Chu Xue took out the things she had brought back, she replied, "I'm going to Inner Mongolia."

Xiao's mother hadn't expected it to be such a long trip: "How many days will it take?" Chu Xue shook her head and said, "It's hard to say, after all, besides delivering the goods, we also need to buy things."

With a worried look, Xiao's mother said, "There are so many people in your department, how can you send a young girl like you?"

Subconsciously, she felt that her daughter had been bullied: "Why don't you ask your uncle to step in and see if you can find someone else to replace her?"

Chu Xue laughed: "Mom, no one bullied me, I wanted to go myself."

Xiao's mother looked puzzled: "In this cold weather, how much suffering must you, a young woman, endure going out like this? I really don't know what you were thinking?"

Chu Xue smiled and said, "I've never been to Inner Mongolia before. It's a great opportunity to go out and see it on public funds. Besides, don't worry, not only will the finance department send people, but the logistics and procurement departments will also send people. I'm sure I won't be the only woman there."

Besides, you know how strong I am. Yancheng even taught me military boxing. I can protect myself without any problem. Others might not want to go through that ordeal, but I'm not afraid. I'll see if I can get you and my sister some milk powder to store up later.”

Hearing this, Xiao's mother felt uneasy: "What can I say to you, child?"

Chu Xue laughed: "You know my personality. Ever since I went to Northeast China, I've been thinking that whenever I have a business trip opportunity, I'll try to take it. I want to see all the beautiful scenery of our country without spending my own money. Others would love to have such a good opportunity, don't you think?"

Seeing that she was determined to go, and knowing that he couldn't stop her, he said, "There's still a piece of meat at home. I'll go and make some meat sauce for you to take with you."

But Chuxue stopped her: "Mom, it's too cold to carry the meat sauce. You should keep it for yourself. Just prepare some mushroom chili sauce for me; it'll warm me up."

Mrs. Xiao thought about it and agreed, then got up and went to the kitchen.
