"Call me when you get home."
Wen Ci reached out and hugged him. "I will."

Wen Ci slept exceptionally well on the plane. Huo Jingyuan had prepared an eye mask for her. She leaned against the window after boarding and didn't wake up until a flight attendant called out to her.
Most of the other passengers had already deplaned.
Wen Ci hailed a taxi after leaving the airport. The fare to the Beijing Military District Family Courtyard was eight yuan. She clicked her tongue. 'In the past, I would never have been willing to spend this much.'
Eight yuan.
That was a whole month's food budget for a single-income family.
The driver asked, "Is your husband a soldier?"
Wen Ci gave a friendly nod. "Yes."
"In that case, I'll only charge you seven yuan for this trip. Soldiers protect our country, so you, as a military family member, should enjoy some benefits."
"Huh?"
Wen Ci blinked.
'Military families already get benefits at a time like this?!'
"Is this a company-wide policy?"
