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

Chapter 891 Rewards for Returning to the Capital
Captain Ma directed his men to follow the trail of coolant drips to find the source of the leak. After cleaning up the surrounding stains, they used a flashlight to press a piece of kneaded soap onto the leak, filling the crack completely, and then secured it with tape.

Only then was coolant slowly added to the heater. After observing that there was no more leakage, everyone cheered: "It's done, it's no longer leaking."

Without even having time to express their gratitude for the first snow, everyone went back to their posts, and the convoy continued on its way, arriving at Zhenglan Banner before dark. At least they no longer had to endure the elements or fear being attacked by wolves.

This time, Xilin Gol was not as lucky; there were only two large shared rooms available.

This place can hardly be called a guesthouse; it's just a roadside inn, a place for people traveling by cart to rest.

At this point, it's already a blessing to have a place to shelter them from the wind and snow; why be so fussy?

Sister Huang used the blankets they had laid out to hang up, creating a simple partition, which finally made things less awkward.

Just then, Wang, the team leader from the purchasing department, rushed in: "Quickly, quickly, I found Anda from the inn and made you all some stir-fried noodles. Take your lunchboxes and get some hot food to warm yourselves up."

After everyone brought back the soup noodles, they sat around the fire.

Before long, the innkeeper's aunt brought over a bowl of local Hada flatbread: "These were originally prepared for tomorrow morning. You can roast them over the fire and eat them with noodles."

Captain Ma quickly stepped forward to take it, saying, "Thank you so much."

The team leader distributed the hada cakes from the basin to everyone. After talking with the people for a while, they finally agreed to make more cakes for them to take on the road the next morning.

We hadn't slept well last night, so after we finished eating, we washed our lunchboxes with the snow outside and then lay down and fell asleep fully clothed. We were just too tired.

At this point, Chu Xue finally understood why the people in the office refused to accept this business trip assignment.

The next day, it was already quite late when we woke up, as Captain Ma had told everyone beforehand, since it would be impossible to start the car if we got up too early. The snow outside had stopped, but it was still quite heavy.

Captain Ma and his team had already warmed up the car last night, but they probably won't be able to leave for the time being.

Fortunately, Chu Xue and the others didn't rush to get up. They didn't get up until someone outside called them for dinner.

After lunch, Captain Ma and his men, disregarding the cold outside, inspected all the vehicles and lit a bonfire of cow dung under them. Around noon, they took the hada cakes made by the innkeeper and set off again.

Captain Ma repeatedly reminded everyone to pay attention to safety.

Although the road conditions were bad, fortunately the rain stopped today and visibility was no longer obstructed. Even so, they only arrived at Baochang Town under Taipu Banner before dark, where there was also a large inn.

However, tonight, the three women finally didn't have to share a dormitory room with them anymore; they opened a smaller room together.

The next day, it was the same; we didn't set off until almost noon. We finally left Inner Mongolia that evening and stopped to rest in Guyuan County. The journey had been truly arduous.

After traveling for another two days, we finally left Zhangjiakou. There was no snow on the road.

When they arrived in Beijing, it was already evening of the 26th day of the twelfth lunar month. The moment the convoy drove into the factory, the factory was in an uproar. After all, they had reported their situation to the factory in advance when they left Xilin Gol.

After learning about their plight, the factory manager waved his hand and gave them all a reward of twenty yuan, plus three days off, which they could take during the Spring Festival.
