A domineering country girl flirts with her son, and Commander Huo can't resist.

"Yes, the commander didn't sleep all night. He's currently calling some of his former classmates and friends who were a bit sentimental, to see which province can provide us with some fertilizer."

"The provincial party secretary also took the train to Beijing overnight."

Qiao An frowned. "This round trip will take six or seven days. If we are delayed in Pingjing for another week, by the time the fertilizer arrives, the corn seedlings will probably be past their prime."

Huo Jiyun sighed, "Let's do our best and leave the rest to fate."

Qiao An didn't believe that.

If she truly accepted fate, she would have died in the apocalypse in her previous life.

Do your best, and also try your luck against fate.

"Honey, I might be able to get some fertilizer, but you have to take me to see Commander Wu. I need him to approve my application and allocate funds."

Huo Jiyun suddenly looked up, his eyes blazing with unprecedented hope.

"real?"

"I wouldn't say for sure, but I'm about 80% certain."

"Let's go now."

Huo Jiyun went to the washbasin stand, splashed some cold water on her face, and forced herself to cheer up.

The two drove to the local command headquarters.

"Old Liu, I don't ask for favors easily. This time, Amutu is facing unprecedented difficulties. Without fertilizer, people could die."

"Yes, yes, I know everyone is short on money right now, but so am I..."

"Can't tell the difference at all? Okay... fine."

As soon as Qiao An and Huo Jiyun arrived at Wu Yingguo's office, they heard a somewhat lonely and disappointed voice coming from inside.

After the phone call ended, Huo Jiyun stood at the door and gave a report.

"Come in."

He pulled Joan along as they walked into the office.

Wu Yingguo looked up and saw that the person who came was Huo Jiyun, and then he saw Qiao An following behind him.

He felt a little irritated.

Even he had heard about how much Huo Jiyun doted on his wife.

There's nothing wrong with that, but he also knows what situation Amutu is facing now.

Why would he bring his wife to see him at this time? What trouble would that cause?

Before he could even reprimand her.

Huo Jiyun spoke first, "Commander, my wife said she can help us solve the fertilizer problem."

"Nonsense!"

Wu Yingguo had a square face, dark skin, sharp eyes, and an imposing presence.

"Huo Jiyun, I don't have time for your nonsense. Get your men back now."

Just as Huo Jiyun was about to explain, Qiao An stepped forward.

"Commander Wu, I know you are very anxious right now, but please calm down and listen to me first."

"I often go to the south to purchase goods for business, and I have some connections with people there. I can help you buy fertilizer, but this fertilizer cannot be transported through official channels, so I need you to give me a permit for military train transport, as well as the money to buy the fertilizer."

Wu Yingguo narrowed his eyes, his gaze icy. "Do you even know what you're saying? Fertilizer is a state-planned supply, distributed on a perfunctory basis. Where are you going to get your hands on it?"

"Snakes have their paths, rats have their ways. Commander Wu, many supplies, even if they are within the plan, can still be obtained. It just depends on whether you have these connections."

Qiao An was not afraid at all in the face of Wu Yingguo's invisible pressure.

In her past life, she herself was a base commander who fought and killed for many years.

She may have killed more people and monsters than Wu Yingguo.

In terms of sheer presence, Qiao An has never lost to anyone.

Wu Yingguo was stunned for a moment when he saw Qiao An's calm and composed face.

The military dependents in the compound all kept their distance from him, and even when they greeted him, they didn't dare to look him in the eye.

Huo Jiyun's wife just stared at her so openly, without any fear.

Putting everything else aside, his sheer courage alone is enough to impress Wu Yingguo.

"Are you really capable?"

"Commander, how will we know if we don't try? Besides, do you have any other options?"

Wu Yingguo remained silent for a long time, then suddenly slammed his hand on the table. "Fine! Let's try anything, even if it's a long shot."

"I need ten tons of fertilizer. How much do you need?"

Qiao An's brain raced. According to the price Mo Yuxuan quoted, one ton of fertilizer was 1700 yuan, so ten tons of fertilizer would cost 17,000 yuan.

As the saying goes, saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda, so Qiao An decided to use some of her savings to help.

Five thousand yuan.

After Qiao An finished speaking, Wu Yingguo was stunned for a moment.

"Five thousand?"

"Yes, not a penny more, not a penny less, just five thousand dollars."

Wu Yingguo only found out how much urea costs today when he attended a meeting in the city.

One ton costs 500 yuan, so 10 tons would cost 5,000 yuan.

But Joan said that the fertilizer she bought couldn't be sold openly, which means the price must be even higher, maybe even double.

But she actually said she only wanted five thousand? Isn't that a joke?

Soon, Wu Yingguo remembered what Xu Guangping from the Political Department had said during a casual conversation.

He said that Qiao An earned more in a month than all the cadres in the entire Northwest Army combined.

At that time, he took it as a joke.

But now, listening to Qiao An's words, Wu Yingguo finally understood what she was going to do.

"Are you going to throw your own money into it?"

Wu Yingguo is straightforward and always asks questions.

Qiao An didn't deliberately hide it.

"Yes, I have money. If I wasn't worried that you would feel bad, I wouldn't even want the five thousand."

"Our Xilun province has been fighting for years, so let's spend the remaining money wisely."

At that moment, Wu Yingguo suddenly felt very guilty, realizing that he had actually had such a big problem with Qiao An just now.

"Good, what a good comrade."

"Huo Jiyun, you've found a good wife!"

Wu Yingguo sat down and, without saying a word, wrote a note for Qiao An.

"This is a note for military train transport. Just give it to the local armed forces department. No one will dare to make a fuss about it."

"As for the money, I'll go to the municipal party committee now and write an application, and I'll give it to you tomorrow morning."

"Alright, I'll go home and wait. Commander Wu, then we won't bother you any longer."

Just as Qiao An was about to leave with Huo Jiyun, Wu Yingguo's gaze fell on Qiao An's protruding belly.

We got so caught up in talking about fertilizer that we completely forgot Qiao An is pregnant.

Wu Yingguo felt even more guilty.

"etc!"

He called out to Huo Jiyun and Qiao An.

"Huo Jiyun, find two skilled comrades from your unit to go south with Qiao An and protect her safety at all times."

"yes!"

As they walked out of the headquarters, Huo Jiyun opened the car door and helped Qiao An into it.

On the drive back to the compound, Huo Jiyun looked worried.

"An'an, are you physically capable? Should we send someone else?"

"These connections are mine. If I don't go, who would dare sell fertilizer to the Northwest Army?" Qiao An asked with a smile.

Huo Jiyun remained silent, clearly embarrassed; he knew it too.

However, Joan, heavily pregnant, still had to travel thousands of kilometers by train.

He felt sorry for him.

"Don't worry, didn't Commander Wu tell you to send people to protect me?"

"Besides, I've been to Guangyun City twice already, so I know the way very well."

Huo Jiyun asked again in a low voice, "An'an, are you going to have to pay a lot of money upfront?"

"Not much, just a little over ten thousand."

Huo Jiyun gasped. He knew his wife could earn money, but to casually spend over ten thousand was truly terrifying.

He suddenly felt a little melancholy.

My monthly salary of just a few dozen yuan is simply not enough to show off.

"An'an, you earn so much, won't you... won't you think I'm useless?"
