She Only Cares About Cultivation-Chapter 864 - 799: Famine Era 40 (4000 Words)

"Alright, alright, I’ll let you drive, but just two or three kilometers!"

Ye Huan nodded eagerly, but once they left the city and she had the steering wheel in her hands, he started to regret it.

Except for the start, where she looked like a newbie, her subsequent maneuvers made Tong Lvzhang so nervous that he was constantly swallowing, gripping the armrest tightly with his right hand, and mumbling continuously.

"Wife, we’re not in a rush, take it easy, drive slowly, these are all dirt roads, they’re bumpy, don’t you feel dizzy?"

Ye Huan held the steering wheel, eyes on the road ahead, with a very calm mindset. Because outside the city, while the roads weren’t great, there weren’t many people or cars!

In her past life, her driving skills weren’t outstanding, but as soon as she held the steering wheel, she felt a sense of familiarity. She guessed it might be because she drove this kind of off-road vehicle a lot in Long Gang’s world. Otherwise, why did it feel so empowering!

Actually, Ye Huan wasn’t driving fast, fifty or sixty km/h. Is that fast?

It can only be said that our fellow comrades have really poor psychological resilience, looking down on their female comrades from the bottom of their hearts.

So, no matter how much Tong Zhan asked her, she wouldn’t give it to him and turned him into a human GPS instead. Because when not driving, he didn’t remember the roads, especially with the troops’ roads being twisty and turny; she couldn’t remember them either, so Tong Zhan’s existence gradually evolved from calming her down to giving left and right directions.

Gradually, seeing her getting a grip on the direction and speed, his tension slowly eased.

"Yes, just like that, keep it up, you’re doing well. To be able to drive like this on your first time on the road, you should go get a driver’s license in the troops when you get a chance."

In this era, there were also driver’s licenses, and they were difficult to acquire. Usually, people didn’t even get a chance to touch a car. So if she could get a driver’s license from this era, it meant another avenue for finding work.

For example, Tong Zhan’s brigade seemed to have a motor transport battalion, all of whom had green cards, very prestigious because it was the wealth of their brigade!

Finally, Ye Huan drove the car ten kilometers outside the troops and stopped, letting Tong Zhan take over. At this point, she couldn’t be willful—state property. When Tong Zhan borrowed it to go out, not only did he have to pay for fuel, but he also had to write an application. Of course, this was also one of his rights. Regiment-level members even had orderlies, and Tong Zhan naturally had one too, but he only used him for work and was determined not to bother him in life, which was why his reputation in the troops was excellent.

Tong Zhan dropped Ye Huan off near the logistics department and then went to return the car and check his office.

Ye Huan was walking home, head down, taking her keys out of her cloth bag without noticing her surroundings.

Mrs. Zhou, the wife of Mr. Zhou, was sitting at the door watching the children play. Seeing her return, she immediately greeted her.

"Ye Huan, you’re back?"

Upon seeing her, she beamed with joy: "Sister-in-law, are you sewing soles for the regiment leader’s shoes?"

Sister-in-law Zhou pouted: "Tch, would he fancy the shoes I make? It’s just our boy who doesn’t mind, I’m making them for my little boy."

Ye Huan couldn’t help but giggle, "Sister-in-law loves to joke. Everyone at home is good, right? We’ve really been relying on you guys lately, letting Old Tong come and freeload. Come on, kids, Auntie’s got candy for you!"

You couldn’t say the food in the mess hall was bad; it’s just people got tired of the same taste, complaining it was the same old flavor.

Considering it was the same group of people cooking, with almost no spices used, only salt in those times, what kind of flavor could you get?

Although this household also didn’t touch meat, because Sister-in-law was from all over the country, her food was very distinct and tasted quite fresh.

So whenever the family meals were somewhat decent, Tong Zhan would be invited over to freeload. Although he brought produce from the family garden and sometimes grains, their graciousness had to be acknowledged. So this time, they specially brought back a pound of sugar. The kids at the door were many, with big eyes, almost all there; one for you and one for you, and the kids were all smiles.

"Ye Huan, I’m really sorry for making you spend money again."

Sister-in-law Zhang’s daughter’s hand pulled her out, specifically asking her to thank Auntie. Although she had thanked her herself, she felt it wasn’t enough and left Ye Huan feeling quite. Surprised. and Honored. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

"Spending what spending, just don’t kick my man out when he goes to your place to freeload in the future."

"Haha, Auntie really loves to joke, the brigade commander is sensible, sharing good cigarettes, drinking good wine together, eating good meals together, we should not undermine him behind his back."
