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

Chapter 875 Ready to go
When Mr. Xiao returned, he smelled the delicious aroma in the air: "You've made stir-fried mushroom chili sauce?"

Xiao's mother was not in a good mood and ignored everyone.

Seeing her like this, Xiao's father asked, "What's wrong?"

Xiao's mother glanced westward and said, "Chu Xue is going on a business trip to Inner Mongolia."

Mr. Xiao's smile faded: "Going to Inner Mongolia?"

It's not uncommon for finance staff to travel on business, but he and Xiao's mother thought the same thing: there are eight people in their department, including the department head. How could they send a young girl like her so far?

The first snow, which had been mostly cleared away, heard a noise and came out to the kitchen.

After greeting Xiao's father, he said, "Mom, I have an empty canning jar here. It's perfect for putting the mushroom hot sauce in."

While washing his hands, Xiao's father asked, "Chuxue, your mother said you're going on a business trip to Inner Mongolia?"

Chu Xue nodded: "Dad, if you want to persuade me like Mom, then don't say anything. I know you're worried about me, but this is what I like. It's a great opportunity to see the scenery along the way during a business trip."

Seeing that their daughter had made up her mind, they could only support her.

When Chunxiao returned home and heard that her second sister was going to Inner Mongolia, she said, "Second sister, remember to bring me some good food."

Before Chuxue could speak, Xiao's mother slapped her on the back: "The radio said there are wolves on the grassland. All you know is eating, you don't even care about your second sister's safety."

Chunxiao turned to look at Chuxue: "If there really are wolves, why are you still going?"

This time it was Xiao's father who glared at his youngest daughter: "Since you're getting paid by the factory, you naturally have to do things for the factory. Do you think you can just not go if you want to?"

Chunxiao was unhappy: "I was just asking, why are you taking it out on me?" Chuxue saw that she hadn't left yet, and the two of them were already worried: "Don't worry, I'm not the only one going. Besides, someone from the security department will be going with us this time. And you know my situation, so there's really no need to worry."

After saying that, she looked at Xiao's father and said, "My mother is pregnant now, so it's good that she's happy every day."

As he spoke, he casually picked up a brick from the corner and broke it in two with his bare hands: "See? What else do you have to worry about?"

Seeing her daughter's abilities, Xiao's mother breathed a sigh of relief.

Thinking about what Chuxue had just said, it seemed that the desire for a son had taken over. He felt that Chuxue did have ways to protect herself, so he wasn't as worried as before.

Chu Xue put some of her things into her space, packed a change of coat in her handbag, and also put a lot of homemade pickles and kimchi in the bag, as well as mushroom chili sauce made by Xiao's mother and vegetarian buns steamed that evening.

The next day, while it was still dark, Chuxue got up and started tidying up.

Unexpectedly, Mr. and Mrs. Xiao also got up early. Mrs. Xiao cooked noodles for Chuxue, and Mr. Xiao insisted on taking her to the factory.

When Chu Xue arrived at the meeting place, she saw Sister Jiang from the logistics department: "Sister, are you going too?"

Sister Jiang smiled and pulled the person over: "Yes, I'll go with you too."

Pointing to another female colleague beside him, he introduced her: "Let me introduce you, this is Comrade Huang Lirong from the purchasing department, you can just call her Sister Huang. The three of us women will be together this time, so we can look out for each other."

Chu Xue had just greeted Huang Lirong when she heard the team leader from the transport team shout, "Come on, everyone gather around. I'm going to arrange which vehicle each person will be on. Once it's decided, they'll be following that vehicle for the rest of the trip. This will make management easier. Everyone, understand?"
