Chapter 876: Departure for Inner Mongolia

This time, the factory's transport team sent six trucks to Inner Mongolia to deliver goods, and those of them traveling on business were assigned to different vehicles.

It was impossible for the three female comrades to be assigned to the same truck, so Huang Lirong stepped forward first: "Sister Jiang, you and Comrade Xiao get on the first truck; I'll take the one in the back."

Chuxue knew they were taking care of her; while thanking them, she grabbed a handful of dried dates from her backpack and stuffed them into Huang Lirong's hand: "Sister Huang, take these dates as a snack to pass the time on the road."

Huang Lirong, a woman who could hold her ground in the procurement section, was not only capable but also had a bold personality: "Alright, I'll take them. Let's hurry and get on the truck; don't delay the schedule, or Captain Ma will blow his top later."

But the moment her words fell, Captain Ma walked over: "What bad things are you saying about me?"

Huang Lirong had traveled on the transport team's trucks many times and was an old acquaintance of Captain Ma; hearing the voice, she turned around with a smile: "Oh my, what luck, truly unmatched. I was just joking, and the person in question caught me red-handed."

Saying this, she laughed loudly: "Alright then, let's hurry and get on the truck; don't drag Captain Ma down."

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

She had originally worried that Sister Jiang would have trouble getting on the truck and wanted to help her, but unexpectedly, Sister Jiang climbed up very nimbly. The driver in the driver's seat looked at Chuxue, who was still below, with some disdain in his eyes, thinking that such a delicate woman traveling on business was nothing but a burden, and that she had happened to be assigned to his truck.

In these days, driving on the road was not safe; things like roadblocks happened frequently. Huang Jie was one thing, but with such a beautiful Miss on the truck, his vehicle would surely become the target of everyone's attacks.

So when Chuxue got on the truck and greeted the people, the driver was not friendly toward her.

Sister Jiang knew this driver: "Xiao Xu, did your wife fail to prepare breakfast for you again this morning?"

Xu Chengkun heard the question and was stunned for a moment: "Why does Sister Jiang ask that?"

Sister Jiang placed the small bag in her arms on the floor: "I guessed it because you didn't seem in high spirits."

Xu Chengkun coughed lightly: "Then you guessed wrong. My wife actually got up very early today and made me a hot noodle soup."

Mentioning his wife, the expression on his face changed.

Sister Jiang laughed at this moment: "See, mentioning your wife still works; look, you're perked up now."

After her words, the truck in front had already slowly set off, and Xu Chengkun followed suit; perhaps feeling he had gone too far just now, since they would be together on the truck for several days, he quickly made amends: "It's just that she got up too early."

Because it was barely dawn, Sister Jiang did not dare to distract him, so she did not speak again.

They were going to Xilin Gol this time; even if everything went smoothly, it would probably take more than ten days.

The trucks traveled north along the highway, and at noon the convoy arrived at Huailai County in Hebei. The convoy stopped opposite a state-run hotel. In these years, unlike in the future, once you left the city, it was all dirt roads; the average speed was not even thirty or forty li per hour. No wonder the few people in the office all made excuses to avoid going to Inner Mongolia on business when they heard it was cold; this really was not a good assignment.

Fortunately, she had prepared in advance; on the surface, she brought an extra military greatcoat, which she placed under her bottom before getting on the truck. But even so, if her constitution had not been so strong, she probably would have been shaken apart.

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

Just wait; when we return, everyone will surely gather together to tease her.
