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

Huo Jiyun drove them to the train station and watched as the ticket seller handed the sleeper tickets to Qiao An.

"An'an, please be careful, get plenty of rest, eat well, and don't overwork yourself."

"Come back early after you're done, don't make me worry."

On the platform, Huo Jiyun held Qiao An tightly, ignoring the crowds around him.

We've only had a few days of peace, and my wife wants to leave again, all because of the troubles caused by their Northwest Army.

She traveled thousands of kilometers with such a big belly.

He was genuinely heartbroken.

Huo Jiyun's eyes stung, and her voice was a little hoarse.

"I know, with these two brothers here, you can rest assured."

As the train started moving and the platform receded into the distance, Joan could still see that lonely green figure.

The beds in the soft sleeper berths are much wider than those in the hard sleeper berths, and the mattresses are also softer. There are four beds in one room.

They made up three of them.

Joan lay on the lower bunk with her eyes closed, resting.

Huang Hanliang and Li Chao were quiet, sitting upright on the lower bunk like door gods.

When the train stopped at the next station, another person entered their room.

The man was wearing a Zhongshan suit, his hair was neatly combed, and he was carrying a briefcase; he looked like an official.

If someone can travel in a soft sleeper berth, their official rank is probably not low.

As soon as Liu Fei entered room 04, he saw a woman lying lazily on the bed, covered with a blanket, resting with her eyes closed.

Opposite her were two dark-skinned, menacing men.

Liu Fei glanced at the ticket in his hand; yes, it was number 04.

He silently climbed up to the upper bunk; the two men below him were giving him an overwhelming sense of oppression.

Just one glance between them, and the blood in my body seemed to freeze.

At noon, Qiao An opened her eyes, propped herself up to sit up, and put a pillow behind her back to lean on.

She turned her head and looked.

Good guy!

Huang Hanliang and Li Chao are still in the same positions they were in when they got into the car.

It hasn't moved for several hours.

"Don't they go to the toilet?" Joan thought to herself.

"Do you want the boxed lunches from the bus or the ones I brought?" Joan asked.

Huang Hanliang and Li Chao were immediately embarrassed.

They received the mission so suddenly that they changed their clothes and ran out without taking a single penny.

Moreover, even if they brought money, they weren't cadres, and their monthly salary was only a little over twenty yuan.

I probably can't even afford the boxed meals on the train.

The two looked at each other, unsure how to respond.

Judging from their expressions, Joanne guessed that they definitely didn't bring any money.

"The boxed meals on the train aren't very good. Why don't you eat the ones I brought?"

Joanne took the bag and had just put her hand inside when she heard a suppressed laugh coming from the other end of the aisle.

"The meals in the soft sleeper berth aren't good? To put it bluntly, it's because we don't have the money."

"Keep your voice down, she might be the wife of some high-ranking official."

"Tch, if she were really the wife of a high-ranking official, would she say something like that? She's obviously a country bumpkin who's never ridden in a soft sleeper before."

The speakers were a young man and a young woman.

The man glanced at Joan with disdain.

Huang Hanliang and Li Chao clenched their fists and gritted their teeth.

Their mission was to protect Joan's personal safety and prevent her from causing trouble.

The two men said some unpleasant things, but it was indeed their first time riding in a soft sleeper berth.

She didn't know whether to sit or stand, and was even afraid that her dirty clothes would stain the clean white sheets.

As for the boxed meals served in the soft sleeper berths, they had never even seen them before.

Huang Hanliang and Li Chao were somewhat embarrassed. They had been in the military for so long that they were no longer very good at interacting with people from the outside world.

Liu Fei came down from the upper bunk at this moment. He usually looked down on these arrogant second-generation officials.

He couldn't help but sneer, "These days, the conditions for buying a soft sleeper berth are really loosened; anyone can get in."

Qiao An sneered, but Liu Fei changed the subject, "It's pathetic that someone like this, whose placenta is still in their brain and who talks like an idiot, can travel in a soft sleeper."

"Who are you calling a liar? You're asking for it!" The man in front of the window suddenly stood up.

"Huh? Who did I say? Did I name names? I've seen people come to my door looking for their mothers, but I've never seen anyone come to my door looking for a scolding. This is really something else."

Qiao An couldn't help but look up at the man in front of her.

He was tall and upright with regular features, and he was looking at the two people by the window with a mocking expression.

"Comrade, may I sit on the lower bunk for a while? I'll go up after lunch."

Liu Fei turned around and politely asked Qiao An.

"sure."

Qiao An pulled the blanket up a little higher to make room for Liu Feiteng to sit.

Just then, the train attendant pushed the dining cart in and said, "Special boxed meals for soft sleeper passengers, five yuan a serving, with both meat and vegetables."

When they got to number 04, the man sitting by the window glanced at Qiao An and the others, and deliberately said loudly, "Give me two servings."

The train attendant took out two boxed meals and placed them on the small table.

Liu Fei also stopped the train conductor and bought a boxed meal.

Huang Hanliang and Li Chao appeared calm on the surface, but their hearts were in turmoil and they were far from calm.

A boxed lunch costs 5 yuan?

That's way too expensive!

They eat at the cafeteria every day, and it only costs them five yuan a month!

The two looked at Joan almost simultaneously.

They still have two days of train travel ahead of them, and Joan probably didn't bring much food with her.

Every little bit helps.

"Sister-in-law, we had breakfast before we left, so we're not hungry now. You can eat, don't worry about us," Huang Hanliang said.

As soon as she finished speaking, Qiao An heard a "coo coo coo" sound.

Huang Hanliang awkwardly clutched his stomach, a blush creeping onto his dark cheeks.

Qiao An smiled. The men from the Northwest are really interesting.

Reaching into the backpack was actually to retrieve something from the storage compartment.

Six meat pies, four steamed buns, a pound of braised beef, and a bag of dried lychees.

Finally, there were three bottles of freshly squeezed orange juice.

Since there were many fruits in the space that were inconvenient to take out, she simply juiced them all, so that no one could suspect anything.

The young soldiers had big appetites, and Qiao An thought this should be enough for the two of them.

"I'll eat two buns, the rest are yours." Joan pushed the food forward.

Huang Hanliang and Li Chao subconsciously licked their lips.

They had long heard from the people in the company that the regimental commander's wife was an excellent cook.

Someone ate one of her steamed buns, and that night he dreamed about the buns.

"Sister-in-law...this is too much. We still have two days left. What if it's not enough..."

"If there's not enough food, we'll just eat boxed lunches. They may not taste good, but they'll fill us up."

"Don't worry about the money. This is considered a business trip, so there will be a allowance."

The steamed buns and pies taken out of the space smelled of fresh wheat.

Qiao An broke open the bun, revealing the filling inside, which was her favorite mushroom and pork bun.

Huang Hanliang and Li Chao were relieved to hear her say that.

Li Chao opened the oil paper and was immediately stunned to find a whole piece of braised beef inside.

"Sister-in-law, this is such a big piece of beef, are you giving it all to us?"

Upon hearing the word "beef," not only Liu Fei but also the two young men by the bed looked over.

These days, it's already quite difficult to eat pork, and the quota for beef is even smaller. Even officials are lucky if they get half a pound a month.

Qiao An, however, took out two pieces of braised beef the size of two fists, which weighed at least a pound.
