Chapter 272 Set off to Hongta County!

"Can we drive to Hongta County?"

Bai Wei was quite surprised.

"Yes, I applied to my teacher for this position, and it was approved because of you. I am really benefiting from you."

Song Qinian patted Bai Wei's shoulder and said jokingly.

Tang Desen approved it for Song Qinian out of Bai Wei's consideration.

He also specifically mentioned to Song Qinian that the design of the timed heat preservation device has been successfully promoted in the capital, and Bai Wei's credit will firmly fall on Song Qinian's head.

So when Tang Desen learned that Bai Wei wanted to go to Hongta County despite her big belly, he specially approved a car for Song Qinian.

However, on the surface, Song Qinian was arranged to go to Hongta County to carry out the task, which was considered to be an official matter.

"Who said we are husband and wife? Just let you take advantage of it!"

After Bai Wei heard Song Qinian's explanation of the whole story, she opened the driver's door and wanted to drive.

She hadn't touched a car for some time and her hands were itching.

However, Song Qinian pulled the car door open, and Bai Wei turned her head to look at him.

"Aren't you just taking advantage of me? Why don't you let me drive?"

"Of course not. This car was granted to me, so I have to keep it in good condition. After you leave the army, you can drive it, okay?"

Song Qinian really had no intention of stopping Bai Wei.

He was well aware of Bai Wei's driving skills, which were even better than his. Even though she was pregnant now, he felt at ease letting her drive.

"That's more like it!"

Bai Wei nodded with satisfaction and walked towards the co-pilot seat.

Song Qinian drove the car and the two of them left the army. After they had driven five or six kilometers, Song Qinian changed his position and let Bai Wei drive.

"Okay! Let's go! Hongta County!"

Bai Wei sat in the main driver's seat, adjusted his position, and slammed the steering wheel.

She was eager to go out, but she didn't know that in just three short days, when she came back, her home had undergone earth-shaking changes.

Bai Wei was very happy along the way, singing while driving.

Song Qinian sat quietly in the passenger seat, looking at her cheerful face, with a doting smile in his eyes.

Driving from the army to Hongta County was not too far. With Song Qinian showing the way, the two of them spent half a day and arrived in Hongta County around noon.

The scale of Hongta County is much larger than the Zizhou County that we had previously occupied. The streets alone are much wider, and there are pedestrians coming and going everywhere.

Looking at the gray and white buses, state-owned hotels, and pharmacies on the road, there are pictures with a unique sense of the times painted on the roads, accompanied by slogans, which show a vast world with great potential.

"This place is more prosperous than Zizhou County!"

Bai Wei was driving and looking at the street in front of him.

In this day and age, there are only a handful of cars on the road.

Especially since a lesbian was driving the car, people on the road, whether they were riding bicycles or walking, all turned their heads to look at Bai Wei, with surprise written all over their eyes.

Song Qinian looked at the curious looks cast at him and straightened his back even more.

Whenever someone looked at him, he would look back with an arrogant look, as if he wanted to announce to the whole world that such an outstanding female comrade was his, Song Qinian's, daughter-in-law!

"Are you hungry? Let's go eat first and then go find someone."

Song Qinian pointed to the state-owned hotel in front.

When Bai Wei saw that it was a state-owned hotel, thinking about the expenses of the last state-owned hotel, she was reluctant to go no matter what. However, in the end, Song Qinian dragged her out of the car and went to the state-owned hotel.

"It's a rare opportunity for you to come out, so I definitely won't let you down. You have to eat well, drink well, and sleep well!"

Song Qinian has only one goal, which is to make Bai Wei live comfortably on this trip.

Bai Wei couldn't persuade Song Qinian, so the two of them could only have a meal at a state-owned hotel. Although Bai Wei tried hard to save money and only ordered one meat and one vegetable dish, it still cost her three yuan and eighty-five cents, which made her feel very sorry.

"Forget about the first meal today. You have to listen to me for the rest of the meal."

Considering that this meal cost nearly four dollars, the food alone for these three days would have cost dozens of dollars.

Money should be spent wisely, Bai Wei is reluctant to do so.

"Okay, I'll do as you say."

Song Qinian looked at Bai Wei's distressed frown and just found it funny.

After the two finished their meal, they rushed to Erlu Lane according to the address given by Zhao Fengzhu, parked the car on the side of the road, and Bai Wei walked all the way there.

Zhao Fengzhu's cousin was Wang Yingcai, the workshop director of the Hongta Tobacco Factory and a high-ranking official.

"Are you going to the Wang family? It's at the end in front."

Song Qinian asked for directions along the way and was about to arrive at the Wang family.

Bai Wei walked forward and was about to knock on the door when suddenly there was a bang, the door was opened, and a group of people hurriedly walked out of the room.

There were at least six or seven of them, both men and women, with shovels and sticks in their hands, ready to rush out with great momentum.

Bai Wei was caught off guard and was nearly knocked down. Fortunately, Song Qinian was quick-witted and hugged Bai Wei back, protecting her behind him.

"Who are you two? Are you coming to our house at this time to cause trouble for Zhu?"

The young man walking in front was wearing a dark blue work suit, holding a shovel in his hand, with a square face and a high nose bridge. He pointed at Bai Wei viciously and asked loudly, his eyes full of anger.
