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

Chapter 876 Departure for Inner Mongolia
This time, the factory's delivery team had six trucks going to Inner Mongolia to deliver goods, and those who accompanied the business trip were assigned to different trucks.

It was impossible for the three women to be assigned to the same car, so Huang Lirong stepped forward first: "Sister Jiang, you and Comrade Xiao get in one car, I'll go to the car behind."

Chu Xue knew that the other person was taking care of her, so while thanking her, she grabbed a handful of dried dates from her backpack and stuffed them into Huang Lirong's hand: "Sister Huang, these dates are a good snack for you on the road."

Huang Lirong, a woman, was able to gain a foothold in the purchasing department not only because of her ability, but also because of her forthright personality: "Okay, I'll take it. Hurry up and get on the bus, so as not to delay the trip and lest Captain Ma loses his temper later."

But no sooner had she finished speaking than Captain Ma walked over and asked, "What bad things are you saying about me?"

Huang Lirong had traveled on business trips in the transport team's vehicles many times and was quite familiar with the horse team members. Hearing the voice, she turned around with a smile: "Oh my, look at this luck, it's unbelievable. It was just a joke, and the person in charge caught me red-handed."

He burst into laughter, saying, "Alright, let's get in the car quickly, so we don't hold Captain Ma back."

Captain Ma was clearly used to her like this: "Hurry up."

Originally, I was worried that Sister Jiang would have trouble getting into the car, so I wanted to help her. But to my surprise, Sister Jiang got in very easily. The driver in the driver's seat looked at Chu Xue, who was still downstairs, with some disdain in his eyes. He felt that such a delicate woman was a burden to accompany him on the business trip, and yet she was assigned to his car.

These days, driving on the road is not safe. There are often incidents of people blocking the road. It's one thing for Sister Huang to be annoyed, but with such a pretty girl in the car, his car is bound to become the target of everyone's criticism.

So when Chu Xue greeted people after getting into the car, the driver wasn't very friendly to her.

Sister Jiang knew the driver: "Xiao Xu, did your wife not prepare breakfast for you again this morning?"

Xu Chengkun was taken aback by the question: "Why is Sister Jiang asking this?"

Sister Jiang put the small bag she was holding down at her feet: "I guessed because you weren't in a good mood." Xu Chengkun coughed lightly: "Then you guessed wrong. My wife got up very early this morning and made me hot soup noodles."

His expression changed when his wife was mentioned.

Sister Jiang laughed at this moment: "See, mentioning your wife is the most effective way to cheer you up."

As soon as she finished speaking, the car in front slowly started moving. Xu Chengkun followed, and perhaps realizing he had gone a bit too far, since they would be spending several days together in the car, he quickly added, "It's just that I got up too early."

Since it was barely dawn, Sister Jiang didn't dare to distract him, so she didn't say anything more.

They're going to Xilin Gol this time, and even if everything goes smoothly, it will probably take them more than ten days.

The car drove north along the highway, and around noon the convoy arrived in Huailai County, Hebei Province. The convoy stopped opposite a state-run restaurant. In those days, things were different from later years. Once you left the city, it was all dirt roads, and the average speed was only thirty or forty miles per hour. No wonder the people in the office all made excuses to refuse when they heard that it was going to Inner Mongolia on a business trip in the cold weather. This was really not a good job.

Fortunately, she had prepared in advance, ostensibly bringing an extra military overcoat which she placed under her bottom as soon as she got on the bus. Even so, if she hadn't been physically strong, she probably would have been shaken to pieces.

Only then did she understand why everyone in the office had given her a thumbs-up when she agreed to go on the business trip, and she couldn't help but laugh.

Just wait and see, when we get back everyone will definitely get together and make fun of her.
