New Year's Day is called "Gregorian Year" in Linghai.

Enterprises and institutions in the county have a New Year's Day holiday. Bailonggang is mainly occupied by villagers and tourists. There is no such thing as a New Year's Day holiday, and naturally they will not celebrate the "Gregorian New Year" like the Chinese New Year.

But no matter what, starting from today is 1989, and the new year should have a new atmosphere.

Xu Sanye sent the two fish to the waiting room of Bailong Port, and went to the store to buy a piece of red paper. He asked Lao Qian, who was not highly educated but had good calligraphy, to write the four characters "Happy New Year's Day" on it and cut it out. The post is posted at the gate of the police station.

"Old Qian, your calligraphy is so good. I gave my family's Spring Festival couplets (couples) to you during the Chinese New Year."

"Okay, let me first think about what to write when the time comes."

"You don't have to think too hard, Bailong Port has already been sold by someone now. You have time to go around and see what they write." Xu Sanye laughed and raised his arm to look at his watch.

Lao Qian thought he was worried about the two fishes, so he rolled up his sleeves and looked at his watch: "It's time to check the tickets now. There are all acquaintances on the boat. The two children should be fine."

Xu Sanye turned around and glanced at the bridge to the north, and said nonchalantly: "I would be worried if Liang Xiaoyu traveled alone, but he went out with Xianyu to see the world. There is nothing to worry about with Xianyu here. If he can't come back from the East China Sea, then his time in technical secondary school will be in vain."

Xiao Xianyu graduated from a technical secondary school and is educated. Even if he gets lost, he can still ask for directions.

Lao Qian also felt that there was nothing to worry about and couldn't help laughing: "He said he was going to buy books. I guess he was going to see the girl from the shipping company."

"No need to estimate, he must have gone to find that girl."

"It's the Gregorian New Year today and he's already seventeen. It's not too early to talk now."

"If we want to talk seriously, I think it would be better to talk to the lady from the Hong Kong Regulatory Bureau. Both of us graduated from technical secondary schools, went to the same school, studied the same major, and have a common language."

Xu Sanye took out his cigarettes, popped one out and handed it to Lao Qian, and said with a bit of regret: "It's a pity that he is two years younger than me and not as tall as me. Even if he had this idea, he probably wouldn't be willing to do it." "

Old Qian took the cigarette and took out a match: "I heard that the girl in the shipping company is not short and looks good."

"This is different. After all, he and the girl from the shipping company grew up together. They are childhood sweethearts. They are the same age and have similar family conditions."

"If you put it that way, she is a good match for the girl from the shipping company."

"But they have gone to the East China Sea. Some of the young people who went to the East China Sea are willing to come back."

"Xu Suo, don't you like the shipping company's girl?"

"It's not that I'm not optimistic, it's mainly because no matter how good a relationship is, it's hard to withstand the test of time and space. I've seen many similar situations. How many of them succeeded in the end?"

Just as he was talking, Li Weiguo rushed to the gate on his bicycle.

"Xu Suo, has Wu Renguang arrived?"

"I told him yesterday that it was half past eight, and now it's only ten past eight."

"Where are the two fish?"

"You should be on board by now."

Li Weiguo was not worried about Xianyu or Liang Xiaoyu either. He didn't ask any more questions, but smiled and said, "Whether Yu Ju is coming today or not."

Xu Sanye handed over the cigarette and said with some reluctance: "He didn't leave last night. We didn't even live in the barge we built by selling iron. We actually let him live in it first. At this time, I was writing materials on the boat and saying that everyone was here to use it. Call him over the intercom.”

Yu Xiucai is very concerned about water security work and attaches great importance to the next crackdown by the Yanjiang Police Station.

Li Weiguo found it a bit funny and reminded: "Suo Xu, it is our bureau's action to crack down on the gangsters who bully the market at the Embarcadero Terminal. Is it appropriate for him to get involved?"

"If we don't let him get involved now, how can we let him take the lead in attacking the water bandits and boat tyrants on the river in the future?"

Xu Sanye asked back, flicking the ashes of his cigarette and said: "As long as we make up our mind to the local gangsters in Linghai, we can catch them all. The water bandits and boat tyrants on the river are different from the local gangsters under our noses. They are here today." Commit a crime and go there tomorrow to do evil. It’s not easy to find them, it’s even difficult to get evidence.”

Water bandits and boat tyrants frequently commit crimes, and they do so on the river, making them very difficult to crack down on.

Li Weiguo asked in a low voice: "What are your plans next."

"When fighting outsiders, we must first secure the inside. After the joint criminal investigation team has wiped out all the gangsters under our noses, we will ask Yu Xiucai to take the lead in convening the heads of the public security bureaus of several districts and counties along the river to hold a meeting and organize a meeting in the name of the Shuishang Public Security Bureau. Big move.”

Xu Sanye paused and pointed in the direction of the Yangtze River: "You can even ask Yu Xiucai to come forward and communicate and coordinate with colleagues on the other side of the river. Even if they can't be of much help, they can still help us collect clues. In short, we want to crack down on the water bandits on the river. Ships, we definitely can’t do it alone.”

I had known for a long time that when he recruited Yu Xiucai, he didn't just want Yu Xiucai to help write materials and be on duty.

Li Weiguo couldn't help but laugh and asked: "So his carrot seal is still useful?"

"If he only relies on himself, his carrot chapter is useless, and his water branch is just a handbag company. But as long as we push it, his handbag company can become a real water bag company, at least in the eyes of others, it will be a real water bag company." Public Security Bureau."

"It seems that we need to further improve our relationship with him."

"There's no need to flatter me, it's fine as it is."

Xu Sanye took a puff of cigarette, thought about it and smiled: "I almost forgot, the internal departments of the city bureau have changed their names again. The Public Security Department is now called the Public Security Detachment, the Criminal Investigation Department is now called the Criminal Investigation Detachment, and Yu Xiucai's Water Security Department It became the Water Security Detachment, and at the same time, the name of the Water Public Security Bureau was added.”

Li Weiguo pondered: "Our bureau plans to upgrade the criminal investigation team to the criminal investigation brigade and the traffic police team to the traffic police brigade. Are we learning from the city bureau?"

"It should be that this is changed from top to bottom. Several departments in the provincial department have become the main team, several departments in the municipal bureau have become detachments, and at the county level it will definitely be the brigade."

"Then shall we call Yu Xiucai Yu Ju or Yu Zhi from now on?"

"Call me Yu Ju, Yu Ju sounds grand, hahaha."

"OK."

…

Han Yu didn't know that the institute would hold a very important meeting today, let alone that there would be big actions in the institute next.

Introduce Liang Xiaoyu to the captain, political commissar, chief engineer, Shao Lei and other police officers, and then take Liang Xiaoyu to visit the large passenger ship.

After going up and down, inside and out, I finally went to watch the video under Shao Lei's arrangement, without buying a ticket!

This is the first time he has traveled far in his life, and it is also the first time he has watched a video. To Liang Xiaoyu, this is a legendary trip, and he is very happy and excited.

At 4:20 pm, the announcement was announced that the passenger ship was about to arrive at Shiliupu Pier, and passengers were reminded to prepare to disembark.

Han Yu quickly picked up the basket of eggs he bought from Huang Jiangsheng yesterday afternoon and pulled Liang Xiaoyu out of the video room.

Shao Lei happened to walk to the door. As soon as he saw him, he teased: "Xianyu, why don't you let Xiaoyu come with me, so as not to affect your relationship."

"Brother Shao, Xiaohui is my neighbor. I treat her as my sister. I'm here to deliver eggs to her!"

"You still think of me as your brother, Brother Shao, Brother Shao calls me so sweet, why don't you give me eggs?"

"Brother Shao..."

"Just talk about the person you want to talk to. There's nothing to be embarrassed about. There's no shame in talking about the person you want to talk to."

"I really just came to see her."

"Okay, okay, let's take a look at it later when we get ashore, hahaha."

You are not that big, but you actually follow other people's example of falling in love, just talk, and even bring an audience with you.

Shao Lei had never seen such a funny thing. The passenger ship was about to dock at the dock and he didn't bother to tease anymore. He patted the grinning Liang Xiaoyu, adjusted his police uniform and went on duty.

The eggs weigh ten kilograms, and the bamboo basket weighs an estimated fifteen kilograms.

Liang Xiaoyu was afraid that he wouldn't be able to lift it, so he tugged on his military coat: "Let me get the dried salted fish for you."

"No, I'll get it myself."

Passengers began to disembark, and there were many people. Han Yu looked back and reminded: "Follow closely, don't get lost. If you get separated while walking, go find the police on the pier."

"I know I won't get lost."

It was the first time he went on a long journey. Looking at the dazzling high-rise buildings on the shore, Liang Xiaoyu was excited but also a little nervous and scared. He said he knew, but in his heart he kept reminding himself not to get separated.

Following the crowd out of the pier exit, Han Yu was looking around when he suddenly heard someone shouting happily: "Xianyu, Xianyu, I'm here!"

She is really here. She is dressed more beautifully than before today. She is wearing a very fashionable and stylish red woolen coat. She is standing on tiptoes and waving in this direction.

Han Yu felt hot in his heart and shouted: "I see, Xiaohui, what time did you come and how long have you been waiting for me?"

After being away for so long, the two sisters never asked how they were doing in Donghai.

My parents were running boats outside and didn't bother to ask questions.

In the past few months, she had only written to and called her, and today she even came all the way to see her. Lin Xiaohui was so happy and excited that she said with tears in her eyes: "I didn't wait long, I just arrived."

Han Yu was afraid of losing Liang Xiaoyu, so he pulled Liang Xiaoyu up to meet her, looked at her with a smile and asked, "How did you get here?"

"Take the bus, Xianyu, he is..."

"Liang Xiaoyu from our police station told you in his letter last time."

"I remember, are you hungry? I'll take you to eat."

"I'm not hungry. We ate on the boat."

"What's this?"

"Eggs, I brought them for you. It's not easy for me to come out, and it's not easy for you to come out. If you don't bring something, how will you explain to your aunt when you go back?"

He really thinks about himself everywhere...

Lin Xiaohui felt sad, feeling that Xianyu was like her only relative in the world.

She took a few deep breaths to calm down, took him and Liang Xiaoyu to the riverside stand, and said with choked sobs, "Thank you."

"It's just a basket of eggs, what's there to thank you for?" Han Yu handed the eggs to Liang Xiaoyu, who was looking at the tall buildings stupidly, and also looked at Lin Xiaohui stupidly.

"What are you looking at?" Lin Xiaohui looked a little embarrassed.

Han Yu calmed down and asked quickly: "Xiaohui, are you cold in such little clothes?"

"not cold."

"If it's cold, I'll let you wear your coat. I'll wear a thick coat underneath."

"No, I'm really not cold."

Lin Xiaohui felt that he and Liang Xiaoyu were dressed in a shabby way, but they looked funny and fun. She looked around and saw that no one was paying attention, so she took out a tape measure from her pocket and said, "But you still have to take off your coat."

Han Yu subconsciously asked: "What to do?"

"I'll measure it for you."

"Measure anything, I have something good to measure."

"I've learned how to cut. Take it off quickly and let me measure it so I can make you a new dress for the New Year."

"Do it for me?"

"If you don't want to help you do it, I will bring you a ruler to do it."

Han Yu was so happy that he took off his coat quickly.

Liang Xiaoyu was so envious that he didn't dare to stare at his girlfriend, so he took the coat and turned around quickly.

Lin Xiaohui measured him and said with a smile: "Why don't you grow taller?"

Han Yu smelled the faint fragrance of her hair and said with a grimace: "I don't know. In fact, I eat a lot. The food in our place is also good. We have fish every day and drink fish soup every day."

"Don't worry, it will grow sooner or later. Your father is so tall and your mother is not short either. You will definitely not be short in the future either."

"hope so."

"What is hope? You must grow taller. If you don't grow taller, how will you find a partner in the future?"

Lin Xiaohui smiled and took out a small book to write down the measurements. She was afraid that he would catch a cold and urged him to put on his coat quickly. Then he took the two of them to visit the Bund and Nanjing Road.

Tired of shopping, I found a small private restaurant to eat.

Naturally, Han Yu wouldn't let her pay, so he gave her the money and sat down to eat and chat.

Thinking that he would go to the pier and take a boat back to Linghai later, Lin Xiaohui felt a little reluctant and said quietly: "Xianyu, I don't plan to go back to celebrate the New Year."

Han Yu was stunned and asked in surprise: "Your aunt won't let you go back?"

"That's not true."

"Then why don't you go back."

Lin Xiaohui looked at Liang Xiaoyu who was sitting next to him, and whispered: "My father and mother may not go back to celebrate the New Year. When I go back, I can only go to my sister's house. It's not interesting."

"But you are alone here."

"Salted fish, I...I don't want to do it at my aunt's place."

"where do you want to go!"

"There are several tailor shops near our aunt's house. There are several sisters who are tailors like me, but they don't plan to do it. We have discussed it and are going to work in the factory."

Han Yu was really worried, so he stared at her and asked, "What factory?"

"In the garment factory, the salary is higher than working at my aunt's place, and I'm not as tired at my aunt's place."

"How high is the salary?"

"We visited a few days ago. They are paid on a piece-rate basis. The more you work, the more you get. The most you can get is 460 yuan a month, and the less you can get more than 200 yuan."

It stands to reason that when people go to higher places, water flows to lower places, so she should be supported in changing jobs.

But Han Yu still felt uneasy after thinking about it. He frowned and asked, "Does your aunt know?"

"I plan to work until the 27th or 8th day of the twelfth lunar month before telling her that her store is the busiest time now, and I can't just say I won't do it."

"Your aunt wouldn't be happy if she knew."

"Xianyu, come out."

"ah……"

"Come out!"

Han Yu realized that it was inconvenient for her to say something in front of Liang Xiaoyu, so he asked Liang Xiaoyu to eat first and followed her out of the small restaurant.

Lin Xiaohui pulled him under a sycamore tree and said with a grimace: "You have never been to my aunt's house. You don't know how small her house is."

"What's wrong, Xiao? You don't live in her house, you live in her store."

"The store is her home, and her home is the store!"

"Your aunt opened the shop at home..."

"I didn't have the nerve to tell you in the letter that her shop was open at home. Not only was I there, but my uncle was also there, and there were two children. There was nothing during the day, but at night I closed the curtain when I went to sleep. I didn't care what they did inside. It’s inconvenient to be able to hear and do anything, even more inconvenient than it was on the boat when we were kids!”

"Can't sleep well at night?"

"Don't mention it, I don't know how I survived these past few months."

Anyone who has been on a boat, especially a small boat, can understand how she feels.

Han Yu nodded slightly: "Since you are so tired during the day and can't sleep well at night, then change your job. In fact, you don't have to stay in Donghai. Linghai can also make money, but there are not so many high-rise buildings. Cars and people.”

Lin Xiaohui said without hesitation: "I don't want to go back. Besides, I have already found a job. That factory is really good. The boss is from Hong Kong. It is a Hong Kong-funded enterprise. Food and accommodation are included. There is a canteen and a dormitory for female workers."

"Okay, when you go to work, when I have time, I'll go take a look."

"I knew you would have my back."

"So what if I don't support it? You won't go back with me anyway."

"I want to make money, make a lot of money."

"Then what."

"Hua, buy new clothes, buy a motorcycle, and live in a big house."

"I have a motorcycle!"

"I know, you said it in your letter, but it belongs to you. I want to make money to buy it myself."

After dinner, we will go to Shiliupu Pier to take a boat back to Bailong Port.

They had to separate again, and Han Yu felt very uncomfortable.

Lin Xiaohui was alone outside, very lonely, and she felt as uncomfortable as parting. She whispered: "Xianyu, don't forget to write to me when you go back. I only have one friend, and no one writes to me except you."

"I will definitely write the letter, but the Chinese New Year is coming soon, and if you go to work in the factory, you won't be able to receive it if I send it."

"I'll call you before I go to work in the factory."

"Okay, by the way, do you have enough money to spend? I brought one hundred. If there is not enough, you take it first."

"I have money, I have enough to spend."

"It's okay, you still have to help me make new clothes. Even if you don't get paid, you still have to spend money to buy cloth."

"It's really unnecessary. I made the new clothes for you to celebrate the New Year. I'll give you a call when they're ready, and you can tell Brother Shao that I'll take them to Shiliupu Pier and ask him to help deliver them to you."

The more she said this, the more uncomfortable Han Yu felt, and he asked with a sad face: "Xiaohui, are you really not planning to return to Linghai in the future?"

Lin Xiaohui looked up at the neon-lit Nanjing Road and said in an affirmative tone: "We won't go back until we look good. Besides, we are people on the ship. When we were young, we didn't stay in Linghai for a few days. To this day, we are all in Linghai." You don’t have a house, you don’t even have a decent home, so what are you going to do?”

She had said more than once in her letters that she wanted to look like a different person before going back. I always thought she was joking, but I didn't expect her to be so strong.

Looking at her resolute expression of looking forward to a better future, Han Yu suddenly felt that he was a little unmotivated and didn't really want to make a lot of money as a sailor on an outer ship.

Lin Xiaohui didn't know that he was distracted, so she felt a little embarrassed when he stared at her, and muttered: "Don't be so stupid, am I that good-looking?"

"have."

"real?"

"Really, really beautiful."

"You will make me happy. It's cold outside. Come on, let's go in and eat."

"oh."

Han Yu calmed down and suddenly realized that he had just lost his composure, and his cheeks burned with embarrassment.

Lin Xiaohui could feel that he really liked her, and she felt warm and happy in her heart. I secretly think that it feels so good to have someone who likes and cares about me, even if the person who likes and cares about me is just a child who has not grown up.
