Riverside police

The Linghai Reserve Battalion is definitely a strange unit.

It is extremely lively when it is lively, and it is very beautiful when it is beautiful. Either the army chiefs and local party and government leaders come to inspect and express condolences, or the chief officers of the brother reserve forces come to visit and study, and catch up with the pre-appointed officers and soldiers or militiamen in the camp for training. It was loud slogans and loud singing that shook the sky.

Most of the time, it was extremely deserted. There were only two people in the huge camp, Liu Degui and Yan Huadong, and there were only four people including Lao Ding and Wang Tiejun from the Martyrs Cemetery next door. Moreover, the Martyrs Cemetery is usually more deserted than the Linghai Reserve Camp. It is only lively during the Qingming Festival every year.

Although there are only a few people, Liu Degui, the actual person in charge of the Linghai Reserve Battalion, is not idle.

First, he has a job.

As the director of the Binjiang Water Conservancy Bureau's Flood Control Material Reserve Center, he goes to the Municipal Water Conservancy Bureau for meetings every now and then. He has to take Yan Huadong to inspect and inventory the flood control materials in two large warehouses. When the weather is good, he even has to move some mold-prone materials out to dry.

Secondly, superiors often come to inspect the camp, and the environmental sanitation of the camp must be improved.

Cleaning the yard is very simple, just sweep it, but it is not easy to maintain good hygiene in the building. There are so many floors up and down, so many offices and dormitories, all of which have to be kept spotless. You can imagine how much work it is.

Yang Jianbo and Sun Youyi mentioned more than once that they should find an aunt nearby to help with the cleaning. Anyway, the camp had plenty of funds. Liu Degui felt it was inappropriate and believed that internal sanitation must be done by oneself, otherwise this would not be a military camp.

Because of this, he, the director of the Flood Control Material Reserve Center of Binjiang Water Conservancy Bureau at the department level and the administrator of the Linghai Reserve Battalion at the deputy battalion level, has become a veritable cleaner, busy cleaning whenever he has time.

Uncharacteristically, he didn't clean this afternoon because two old friends came over. He and Lao Ding wanted to play cards with them and drink with them in the evening.

Lao Ding joked while touching the cards: "Lao Li, the city attaches great importance to the work of veteran cadres. It invested several million to build a building for the Veteran Cadres Bureau. The Related Work Committee and the Veterans Promotion Association have offices, and a veteran cadres university is also established. After getting up, it is said that there is also a home for veteran cadres, where they play music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and there are many activities.

Secretary Wang goes there every day just like going to work. For the convenience of commuting, he even went to Linghai to buy a commercial house, which is very close to the Veteran Cadres Bureau. Everyone knows that they need to recharge their batteries and go to Donghai Jiaotong University to study as a graduate student. You still have to study, why don’t you go to the Veteran Cadre University for further studies? "

Li Weiguo was amused and couldn't help but laugh: "The most important thing in people is self-knowledge. The Veteran Cadres Bureau building is built with style. The Veterans Cadres Bureau is very lively now, but that is where the veteran leaders use their remaining energy and learn. What should I do?"

The Veteran Cadres Bureau is indeed a "club" for veteran leaders. For example, the heads of the Related Work Committee and the Lao Lao Promotion Association are all served by old county magistrates and senior directors. The main members are either retired bureau chiefs or retired township leaders.

You are already retired, why would you foolishly rush over to join in the fun?

Lao Zhang agreed with Lao Li's point of view and couldn't help laughing: "They are leaders and we are soldiers. I was used by them for decades before retiring. After finally retiring, there is no need to look at their faces anymore. Only those with mental illness can You know how to run over and listen to their orders!"

"So instead of going there, I might as well come to the riverside to play cards and drink with you."

"Why don't you let Lao Zhang help you find a job? If you really can't find one, you can come to Linghai Reserve Camp to clean. Director Liu can't clean it. We are short of cleaners."

Liu Degui said quickly: "Ding Suo, stop joking, I can't afford Professor Li."

"Ding Suo, Lao Zhang, I'm different from you. I don't want to work anymore after I retire."

As soon as Lao Li finished speaking, Lao Zhang raised his head and said with a smile: "Jiao Li, have Xianyu and Xiaoyu called you in the past two days? Are they busy? If they are not busy, ask them to come for dinner."

"Contacted yesterday."

When talking about the two fish, Lao Li said with emotion: "Xianyu has had a very fulfilling New Year. As a member of the party committee, Qi Zhikun, who returned to his hometown in Hanwu for the New Year, presided over the work of the Changhang Branch and organized the arrest of two people suspected of raising funds. The suspect of the fraud not only organized a huge public arrest meeting, but because all the stolen money was not recovered, he also asked Secretary Miao of the Port Authority to come forward to do ideological work for dozens of old comrades who were deceived, until he helped the branch to deal with the aftermath. I just returned to Bailong Port for work."

"Where's the little fish?" Lao Ding asked curiously.

"The Changhang Navigation Branch let Little 001 stationed at Lingzhuo Ferry, and built the 'First Post on the Yangtze River' at Lingzhuo Ferry. At that time, we had a joint office with the Binjiang Port Supervision Bureau and the Third Brigade of the Hong Kong Patrol. . They are now cooperating with the Taoming Marine Department and working properly with the North Branch Coast Guard Brigade of the Taoming Maritime Department. Xiaoyu is on his own and is now the person in charge of the 'First Post on the Yangtze River'."

"Why did the first outpost on the Yangtze River become a Changhang Branch branch?" Lao Zhang asked subconsciously.

"The No. 1 Post on the Yangtze River" is the golden signboard of the Laoyanjiang Police Station. As the second chief of the Laoyanjiang Police Station, it is normal for Lao Zhang to ask this question.

While urging him to play his cards quickly, Lao Li said with a meaningful smile: "Wherever the two fishes are, there is the 'first whistle of the Yangtze River'. Blind Wang finally understood this truth, and Qi Zhikun's little trick was to open his eyes. Close one eye and pretend not to know.

Besides, the public security barge was sold to the "Bridge Office" and anchored at Yingchuan Port. It is now the water law enforcement base of the Yangtze River Bridge Construction Headquarters. The water branch stationed the public security barge like the Changhang Branch. The public security barge is also the "first sentry on the Yangtze River" . "

"So there are now two first posts on the Yangtze River?"

"As long as you are a leader, who doesn't want honor and a model unit?" Liu Degui was not surprised. After thinking about it, he smiled and said, "This is normal. Even the 'Red Sharp Knife Company' has several!"

"That makes sense." Old Ding threw out a pair of 2s and laughed loudly: "So what if there are two. The first post on the Wanli Yangtze River at Lingzhao Auto Ferry is Xiaoyu's final decision. The one at Yingchuang Port is The first outpost of the Yangtze River is Xiang Ning, who has the final say. This is to be carried forward and not to be taken away by others."

"If you put it that way, it's actually a good thing."

"Of course it's a good thing. I hope that the 'First Outpost of the Yangtze River' will continue to flourish. There are photos of us from back then here, there, and everywhere. How great!"

"Li Jiao, you, Mr. Zhang and Ding Suo are the veterans of the first post on the Yangtze River. There are photos of you everywhere. Of course you are happy." Liu Degui was really envious of the three of them and returned to the previous topic: "Give salted fish and Xiaoyu makes a call and asks them if they can come for dinner tonight."

"No need to fight, they can't come."

"How did you know?"

"We old guys are going to have a party, and they young people also want to get together with young people." Before Lao Li could say anything, Lao Zhang explained with a smile: "Huang Jiangsheng is going to Australia. Before leaving, he wanted to come back to see his old friends. Today I want to treat salted fish and small fish to dinner tonight."

"Why did Huang Jiangsheng go to Australia? Did he go abroad to do the grain and oil business?"

"He immigrated to Australia, not to do the grain and oil business. Australia's agriculture is very developed, with high wheat and barley production, ranking first in the world, and greater beef and mutton production. What kind of grain and oil business can he do?"

Huang Jiangsheng started his career by selling rice in Bailong Port. Lao Li has known Huang Jiangsheng for a long time. He even sympathized with Huang Jiangsheng in the past. To this day, he still remembers the jingle Huang Jiangsheng always liked to say when he went to the countryside as an educated youth: It rains hard, Beijing J Call me and ask me to go to the countryside. I haven’t grown up yet...

Lao Li was silent for a moment and asked in confusion: "He and Zhang Erxiao were doing well in the grain business together. Why did he suddenly think of immigrating?"

Lao Zhang didn't know how to explain it for a while, so he could only laugh and said: "This is normal. It's just like us Linghai people like to go to the East China Sea."

"This is different, he is going abroad!"

"Everyone has his own ambitions. Maybe he thinks that abroad is better than at home. He has sold his house in Donghai. Anyway, he doesn't plan to come back after leaving."

"What about his shares in the rice factory?"

"All transferred to Zhang Erxiao."

"What share does he have?"

"Although he started the grain and oil business, he didn't have much capital at the beginning. Zhang Erxiao has been a major shareholder since we were partners with him, and he invested 800,000 yuan in 1988."

"800,000?" Lao Ding asked in shock.

Lao Zhang looked at his shocked look and said with a smile: "Before, like you, I only knew that Zhang Er made money selling cigarettes, but I didn't know how much money he made. Later I found out that he was selling cigarettes in Bailong Port and made a whole lot of money." More than 1.8 million!"

What is the concept of more than 1.8 million in 1988!

Lao Li, Lao Ding and Liu Degui were all shocked. They couldn't believe that Zhang Erxiao, who was just a child at that time, was so rich.

Lao Zhang smiled and continued: "He said that he was afraid of making money at that time. He was afraid of being investigated for cigarettes and being arrested by the police. He didn't dare to deposit the money he earned in the bank. He hid it here, hid it there, He even packed them in plastic bags, dug a hole and hid them under the willow tree that used to be in front of his house.”

"We only earned more than 100 yuan a month at that time!"

"Xianyu only had more than fifty yuan a month at that time."

"It really overwhelms the brave to death, and starves the timid to death."

"He was lucky, he met us. If it had been anyone else, knowing that he had so much money, they would have confiscated his cigarettes and money with Tobacco, and they would have sent him to a juvenile detention center."

While they were chatting, the phone on the desk rang.

Liu Degui quickly got up and went to answer it. He could tell it was Yang Jianbo calling.

When Liu Degui returned to his seat and continued playing cards, Lao Zhang asked curiously: "Director Liu, does Yang Jianbo have something to do with you?"

"It's nothing. I just called him to ask if he would like to replace my shifts."

"Jianbo is a pretty good person. Although he was promoted to deputy commander, he doesn't have any airs."

"If nothing else happens, he will be promoted to the team soon."

No matter the place or the army, the higher you go, the harder it becomes. After all, the higher you go, the fewer positions you have.

Lao Ding couldn't believe this was true, because Yang Jianbo had only been in the deputy regiment for a few years, so he couldn't help but ask: "The superiors value him very much and want to transfer him?"

"Minister Yang has been working in our Linghai Armed Forces Department for more than ten years. He is a solid soldier and a smooth soldier. It is impossible for his superiors to let him work again. It is also impossible for him to be promoted to deputy division. He will be transferred in the second half of this year. In the next period of time , I was busy with contact work, so my superiors asked Jianbo to help Minister Yang preside over the daily work of the Armed Forces Department."

Liu Degui lit a cigarette, thought about it and said with emotion: "If it weren't for Xianyu, would he be promoted to deputy regiment and deputy minister of the Ministry of Armed Forces? If it weren't for Xianyu, would he have the chance to succeed Minister Yang? Think about it carefully, Anyone who has worked with Xianyu in recent years has been promoted."

Lao Ding was convinced: "There is also the 'Yidianhong' at the border inspection station. Xianyu is really their nobleman!"
