During the many days on the road, Lin Sui had learned about the situation on the island from Deng Ping and others.
I knew it was a big island, surrounded by the sea. In addition to the garrison, there were also villagers and military families. According to incomplete statistics, there are a total of about 10,000 people in several nearby villages including military families.
In addition, the number of garrison troops is also about the same, so it can be said that this is a quite large island.
But because it is only 1972, Lin Sui is not sure how great the current shipping capacity is.
Lu Ye was not impatient. He hummed and explained: "The army has a special cargo ship, not an ordinary ferry."
Ordinary ferries are not yet accessible to jeeps, as there is no such condition.
However, the freighters specially purchased by the Army Logistics Department can be loaded with jeeps. That freighter is not small, let alone a jeep, even a few more vehicles can still fit in it.
Knowing that he could go, Lin Sui didn't ask any more questions.
After all, everything about the army is subject to confidentiality rules. She is not curious and does not want to embarrass Lu Ye.
Today's driver is Zhang Yuan. It is said that it was Zhang Yuan who made the report to apply for a jeep. Only people of his level are eligible to apply.
Lu Ye sat in the passenger seat and held Lu Yunyao, Lin Sui took Lu Yunjin, and sat in the back seat with Deng Ping, Liu Guoqing and his wife.
There is no such thing as overloading or not. As long as the car can fit it, then keep loading it.
Besides, this is a five-seater jeep. There are five adults and two children, so if we really count, it is just overloading two children.
Lin Sui didn't dwell on this. She hugged Lu Yunjin and sat by the window, trying to leave as much space as possible for Deng Ping sitting in the middle.
After all, she is a pregnant woman, so it is too crowded and inappropriate.
"Let Xiaojin come to my place, too, with sister."
Lu Ye's voice sounded from the co-pilot.
Lin Sui looked at the co-pilot. Although it was said that only Lu Ye and Lu Yunyao were seated, Lu Ye had tall legs and Lu Yunyao was already sitting on him. If Lu Yunjin went over again, Lu Ye would not even have a place to put his legs.
She shook her head and refused.
"I can just hold Xiaojin."
"It takes more than an hour to get to the dock."
Lu Ye was afraid that Lin Sui's legs would go numb if he kept holding the child.
Zhang Yuan heard what Lu Ye meant and glanced at Lu Ye with a half-smile, his eyes full of teasing.
The look in his eyes seemed to say, you boy, who regards all the female comrades in the army as bearded, are you still today?
Lu Ye pretended not to be able to see it at all.
Liu Guoqing, who was sitting on the other side, heard this and said quickly: "Xiaojin, come to Uncle Liu, Uncle Liu will hug you."
"It's okay, Comrade Liu, I'll just hold him."
Liu Guoqing had been helping Lu Yunjin in the car for a long time. Now that he got off the train, Lin Sui naturally couldn't trouble him anymore.
Lu Yunjin turned to look at Lin Sui: "Mom, I'm standing by myself."
The little guy also knows not to trouble others, and at the same time not to make his mother too hard.
Lin Sui smiled and touched his hair: "How much does Xiaojin weigh? Mom can hold her, so just sit down and you'll be able to see the sea."
Lin Sui is a true southerner and is very gentle when he speaks. At this moment, there is a smile and affection in the tone, and the tone of the words is even more comfortable.
Lu Yunjin opened her mouth and nuzzled into Lin Sui's arms without saying anything.
Lu Ye saw this scene through the rearview mirror and twitched the corners of his mouth.
The jeep drove to the dock. Because there were two children in the car, specifically, because Lu Yunyao was there, there was no need to worry about running out of topics.
Lin Sui, who was sitting in the back, was a little drowsy. She had inexplicable insomnia when she thought about the arrival of the hotel last night.
Sitting in the car now, she felt relaxed knowing that her child's father was there and she didn't have to worry about human traffickers or anything like that.
Then I felt sleepy, leaned my head against the door, and fell asleep.
Fortunately, it didn't take long before we arrived at the pier.
Lin Sui opened her eyes when she heard Lu Yunyao's cry.
She was a little confused and didn't know where she was for a while. She sat on the stool and looked around before realizing that she was in a car.
"Xiaojin, Xiaojin, look, there's a lot of water. The sea is so big, and the sky is so blue."
Lu Yunyao pointed to the harbor and couldn't wait to tell Lu Yunjin.
Only then did Lin Sui realize that Lu Yunjin, who was originally being held by her, had moved to the front passenger seat at some point. No wonder she said her legs felt empty. It turned out that the child was no longer with her.
The two of them are now crowded in the passenger seat with Lu Ye.
After an adult and two children were squeezed into the co-pilot, which was not very spacious to begin with, Lu Ye's legs could no longer be seen, and only the upper bodies of the father and son could be seen.
Lin Sui couldn't help but pursed her lips and smiled.
"Fortunately it wasn't on a train, otherwise I wouldn't even know the child was missing."
I was so slow that I didn't even notice that the child was gone.
When Deng Ping heard this, she also laughed softly: "It was Camp Commander Lu who saw that you were sleepy, sister-in-law, and asked Xiaojin to go over gently so as not to wake you up."
"Uh...is that so?"
Lin Sui didn't expect Lu Ye to be so careful.
She raised her eyes and looked at the man who was introducing the sea to the two children. She couldn't see the expression on his face, but judging from his side face, his current expression should be a gentle expression full of fatherly love, right?
Lin Sui has never been in love in modern times, but she has heard many people complain that her family has a widowed education system.
For the children at home, the father never participates, and the mother is in charge of the whole process. After dad comes back from get off work, he starts playing with his mobile phone as soon as he lies on the sofa. There are few fathers who patiently chat with their children and play games with them.
This is the current situation in most modern households.
Lin Sui had thought before that if she got married, she would never accept a widowed education.
She can allow the man to be busy with work, but when he is free, he must spend more time with the child. It is very important for the father to participate in the child's growth.
At that time, her best friend still laughed at her. How could there be a man who made money and still helped take care of the children?
She also thinks it may be relatively rare, but she definitely won't say it doesn't exist.
I didn’t expect that a man I haven’t met in modern times would be met in this era. Just because of his patient attitude towards Lu Yunyao and Lu Yunjin, Lin Sui felt that this man was not bad.
It’s worth learning more about.
Lin Sui slowly smiled.
She didn't realize that the way she looked at people and smiled so intently, in the eyes of others, was a very good sign of her relationship with Lu Ye.
At least that's what Deng Ping, who was sitting next to Lin Sui, thought.
The relationship between my sister-in-law and Camp Commander Lu is really good! It can be seen that the rumors in the family area about the bad relationship between Camp Commander Lu and his wife have no basis at all.
When Deng Ping thought about this, she couldn't help but feel angry. Everyone was a member of the military. How could some people be so poor in quality?
The family area that was slandered by Deng Ping was not at peace at the moment.
They were also discussing Lin Sui, who came to join the army!
