Chapter 12 Before Departure

Before Lin Ying got up, Zhao Qinghuai had not only prepared the meal, but also washed yesterday's dirty clothes and fetched water.

Seeing that Zhao Qinghuai was doing all the housework, it was impossible for Lin Ying not to be happy inside.

You should know that even in Haishi, very few men are willing to do these things.

While Lin Ying was having breakfast, Zhao Qinghuai had already borrowed the car.

Lin Ying thought he had borrowed a horse-drawn carriage, but it turned out to be a large truck.

Zhao Qinghuai parked the car at the door and returned home, guessing that Lin Ying should have finished breakfast. He planned to clean the kitchen, but found that the kitchen was already cleaned.

Zhao Qinghuai smiled and said, "The team knew I was going to town, and since many family members from the residential compound were also going, they simply let me drive, and everyone can take me to town together."

Lin Ying didn't think there was anything wrong with this. She wasn't fully conscious when she arrived, so she naturally didn't know how far it was from the town. But she had heard Li Yue'e mention that it would take more than half an hour by carriage.

Walking there would probably be even more troublesome.

However, the supply and marketing cooperative in the family compound had limited supplies, and even fewer scarce items. If you needed something, you still had to go to the town or even the county to buy it.

Just then, Zhao Qinghuai borrowed a car, and Old Zhang from the transport team had taken leave, so they simply let Zhao Qinghuai make the trip.

Seeing that Lin Ying had finished packing, Zhao Qinghuai went back to his room and took the military dependent certificate, the Little Red Book, money, and tickets that he had previously processed for Lin Ying.

Zhao Qinghuai also brought his own travel permit. Although he might not need it in town, these days the world was chaotic, and there were always some activists who liked to cause trouble.

You can't go wrong with it.

This is because they only go to the town. The family compound was only recently established and doesn't have a women's federation yet, so they can't just go to the military base to get a certificate to go out. Military dependents can't just enter the military base at will either. Therefore, as long as military dependents have their military dependent certificates, they can go to other places without any problems, as long as they don't take trains or similar means.

Zhao Qinghuai handed over everything he had taken out, except for his access pass, to Lin Ying.

Lin Ying didn't stand on ceremony and put everything away. The two of them went out together.

Zhao Qinghuai was driving, so naturally Lin Ying sat in the passenger seat.

Lin Ying can drive. Although her maternal grandparents moved to Hong Kong when she was fourteen, they had treated her very well before that. She often visited her grandparents' house, and when she was thirteen, she pestered her cousin to teach her how to drive.

Later, when her maternal grandfather's family left, they gave Lin Ying all the things they couldn't take with them, including their car.

Therefore, Lin Ying had been living a good life before the incident.

Lin Ying had never seen a truck like this before, so she was naturally very curious.

Seeing that Lin Ying was watching intently, Zhao Qinghuai simply started teaching her.

"Try it in a bit. It's not difficult, but the steering wheel doesn't have a power steering system, so you need to use your hands. Also, the transmission doesn't have a synchronizer, so you need to use both feet to shift gears, and you also need to use your feet to operate the clutch, horn, and brake..."

Lin Ying also felt there was no difficulty; it was no different from the car she used to drive.

Lin Ying was just curious and had no interest in driving. Just as she was about to refuse, she saw the car had already stopped at the entrance of the military family compound, and the military families waiting there had already started climbing into the car.

As agreed, the car was supposed to depart at eight o'clock, but we waited a while longer.

Lin Ying saw Li Yue'e walking this way with two other people.

Seeing Lin Ying sitting in the car, Li Yue'e greeted her with a smile: "Oh dear, I was just about to call the girl, but no one answered. I didn't expect that Commander Zhao would be here waiting for her today."

Lin Ying smiled at Li Yue'e, who didn't mince words: "Someone called me from behind, so I'm going to the back."

Lin Ying nodded, and Li Yue'e smiled and greeted the people behind her. With their help, she also got into the car.

Just as Lin Ying was about to turn around, she heard a woman's voice say to her, "Hello, I'm a little carsick. The transport driver always lets me sit in the front. Could you let me sit here?"
