Riverside police

Han Yu did not return to his home, but went straight to the shipyard.

Xiao Jiang's family was far away, and they lived and ate in the shipyard's shed. Huang Jiang also stayed here during his lifetime.

After waiting under the pergola for more than ten minutes, Xiao Jiang and Huang Jiangsheng came back. One was eating ice bricks, and the other was carrying pork skewered with straw ropes, which looked to be two kilograms.

Xiao Jiang was stunned for a moment, then came up to him and asked, "Xianyu, aren't you a police officer? Why did you go to Bailong Port to sell reeds just now!"

Huang Jiangsheng walked over to look at the reeds and scales tied to the car, and said with a smile: "I was selling reeds at the door of the ticket office, and in the blink of an eye I was here again. Comrade Public Security, why are you like me when I was farming in northern Xinjiang? The work is done in a swarm, and the work is finished as quickly as the wind.”

"I'm here to find you."

"What are you looking for from us?"

"Not many people know me in Bailonggang. I just performed a task at the door of the ticket office. I can't let others know that I am a police officer."

Xiao Jiang hurriedly ate the remaining ice bricks, without even bothering to wipe his mouth, and asked curiously: "What mission are you performing?"

Han Yu shook his head: "It's a secret, we can't say it."

Huang Jiangsheng handed the meat to his cousin, sat down and said, "Don't worry, we won't talk nonsense. In fact, I thought of it earlier, otherwise I wouldn't have pretended not to know you at the door of the ticket office just now."

"Thanks."

"What's there to thank you for? Have you had lunch? If not, let's eat together."

"I'm going back to the institute to eat. What I just said cannot be taken seriously. Our leader asked me to tell you that if it is leaked, you will be held accountable."

"I understand this."

"Xiao Jiang, what about you?"

"You know, I'm not a person who likes to talk nonsense."

Xiao Jiang said he was a welder, but actually he came to be an apprentice. He was similar in age to Han Yu, and Han Yu was a police officer. He was very willing to make friends with Han Yu.

"Don't go back and eat with us. We weighed the meat today and my cousin caught some fish this morning!"

"Yeah, don't go back."

When Huang Jiangsheng was doing small business in the East China Sea, he was always investigated by the police and joint defense team members.

Now selling eggs and rice, I spend more than half of the year in Bailong Port. I feel that "a strong dragon cannot overwhelm local snakes" and that I need a "backer", even if the "backer" in front of me seems a bit small.

"Then I won't be polite to you."

Han Yu was not pretentious and readily agreed.

If you insist on going back, you won't give them face. Besides, the tugboat will take several months to repair, so there are plenty of opportunities to repay the favor.

"Isn't that right? I'm not an outsider."

Huang Jiangsheng signaled his cousin to cook quickly, took out his cigarette and said with a smile: "I have cooked the fish, steamed the rice, and will cook braised pork, it will be quick."

"It's both fish and meat. Is it better to get rich and improve the food?"

"Earn some hard-earned money and get rich."

"Have all the eggs collected last time been transported away?"

"It's been shipped and almost sold."

"How come you didn't know when you went back so soon?"

"I didn't go back."

"How can you sell it if you don't go back?" Han Yu asked puzzledly.

Huang Jiangshan flicked his cigarette ashes and explained: "I am not the only one who came back from northern Xinjiang, there are many brothers and sisters. Like me, they all have 'pocket household registration' and have no jobs. I collect eggs and rice here, and they Sold there, five to six hundred pounds of eggs can be sold out in two or three days."

"So you are a big boss in wholesale business!"

"It's not easy for any big boss. We can only help each other. In fact, they helped me raise the capital for this business."

"How difficult is it?"

"Without a registered permanent residence, no job, no place to live, and even one meal without a meal, we can only make a living by showing our magical powers across the sea."

Huang Jiangsheng took several puffs of cigarette and said bitterly: "We just have to make a living by ourselves, but in the eyes of others, we are from Northern Xinjiang, not from the East China Sea! When walking on the road, if people know that you are from Northern Xinjiang, , the way I look at you is exactly the same as looking at someone released from a labor camp."

Han Yu asked in a low voice: "Look down on you?"

"Well, when people know you came back from Northern Xinjiang, they always look down upon you. But when we went there, we were very glorious, wearing big red flowers. It's better now, as if you came back from a labor camp."

"No one in Linghai looks down on you."

"There are also people who look down upon me and regard me as a blind person."

"How is that possible? Besides, your business is doing pretty well now."

"It's okay now. It was difficult when I first returned to the East China Sea. In order to go back to the East China Sea, I sold everything I could sell in Northern Xinjiang. The money was quickly spent. I could only find a yellow croaker truck and pick up passengers at the dock at night. From then on. Shiliupu stretches all the way to Zhongshan North Road. It’s such a long distance, but I only earn two yuan.”

Huang Jiangsheng took a deep breath and continued: "In the middle of winter, I was covered in stinky sweat while riding on a yellow croaker bike. When I sent people to the place, the sweat was still in my clothes. It was so cold that I couldn't even describe it."

In the middle of the night, the police and the joint defense team stopped and asked where the yellow croaker's car came from. If the certificates and licenses were all correct, the car was then taken away. "

Han Yu didn't expect that he had suffered so much, and couldn't help but ask: "What happened next."

"I can only think of other ways to boldly place recreational ball boards. As long as there are people playing, I can earn a hundred yuan a day and night by placing two recreational ball boards. What is the concept? How much does a person's monthly salary cost? I have no capital. I am also timid, so I can only sell fruits.

Some of the brothers who came back together sold screws and cloth, made oil dumplings, and made grape silk cakes. Later, there were more fruit sellers, so they set up street stalls to sell underwear. At five o'clock in the morning, we set up a stall at the small vegetable market on Zhongshan Road, and the people who set up the stall were all educated youths.

Some came back from Xijiang, some came back from Nanyun, and most of them came back from Northern Xinjiang like me. Six or seven people set up a stall, at least two or three of whom had returned from northern Xinjiang. We have sympathy for each other and help each other. "

Huang Jiangshan threw away the cigarette butt and said with a smile: "Once I went to a stall alone and met some hooligans who wanted to take underwear for free. Is it easy for me to make some money? They still wanted to take it for free. I couldn't be more angry. Hold the weights and fight them with all your might.

The people next to me were so frightened that they grabbed the little gangster and said, "Little brother, don't you even look at who he is?" He is from Northern Xinjiang. Don't look at him setting up a stall here alone today. As soon as you take action, a bunch of people from Northern Xinjiang will come and beat you to pieces. The little hooligan was frightened and left immediately. "

Han Yu didn't expect that his experience would be so rough, so he subconsciously asked, "What happens next?"

Later, more and more educated youths came back from various places, and it became increasingly difficult to start a small business. I wanted to sell eggs and new rice. In fact, the main purpose is to sell new rice. As long as you have the capital and can transport the new rice, you can definitely sell it. "

Han Yu asked with a smile: "Is new rice selling well in the East China Sea?"

"Of course, people in the East China Sea have been eating old rice for more than ten years."

“There’s no new rice in the East China Sea?”

"Yes, but the Grain Bureau has to store it. It collects new rice every year and sells old rice. It plans to supply it. If you don't want to eat it, you will go hungry. People in Donghai want to eat new rice and japonica rice, so they can only buy it on the black market."

Seeing Han Yu's expression of disbelief, Huang Jiangsheng smiled again and said: "In the East China Sea, the Grain Bureau is more powerful than the Public Security Bureau, because people have to eat. Who lives where, how many people, how many grains and oils a month, the plan is all in the Grain Bureau. Public Security Bureau You may not be able to find someone if you want to, but the Food Bureau can definitely find him.”

Han Yu smiled and said: "You are the non-staff food director, helping to improve the lives of the people in the East China Sea."

"Salted fish, I am not bragging. I have not only improved the lives of many people in Donghai, but also provided employment for a dozen educated youths. There are more than a dozen brothers and sisters in Donghai who support their families by selling the rice and eggs I transport there. "

"Do you have a family?"

"We have a family. We got married last year."

"Where does your lover work?"

"She is at Haifeng Farm. Working on the farm is not interesting. I am looking for a house. I will let her come over when I find a house."

“Where is Haifeng Farm?”

"You should know that in your Jiangnan Province, Yanhai, there is a labor camp there that is under the jurisdiction of Donghai. The government has arranged for all the educated youth who have no place to be placed there."

"Your Donghai also has a place in our Jiangnan!"

"Not only are there in Jiangnan, but there are also enclaves in Hui'an."

…

While chatting, the braised pork was ready.

Xiao Jiang put the food on the table and asked the two of them to wash their hands and eat.

Two meat dishes and one soup. Huang Jiangsheng ate vegetables but not soup.

Han Yu felt very strange: "How can you eat without drinking soup?"

Huang Jiangsheng finished eating the meat in his mouth and said with a smile: "Rice is not grown in northern Xinjiang, so we can't eat rice. Everything we eat is steamed buns, steamed buns, and corn crumbs.

There are no vegetables in the winter, so the only thing besides cabbage is radish. When there is no green and yellow, you can’t even eat steamed buns or wotou, and just make radish soup. "

"Tired of drinking?"

"Drinking soup in the morning welcomes the morning sun. Drinking soup at noon makes me feel warm. Drinking soup at night brings me to tears. I'm really scared of drinking soup. I will never drink soup again in my life."

It's not easy for him. The hardships he has endured are simply unimaginable. If you can help, you should help.

And I don’t have many friends in Bailonggang. The director is 42, the instructor is 57, and Lao Zhang is 54. Apart from work matters, I have nothing to talk to them.

Han Yu was really lonely and needed friends. He raised his head and said, "Brother Huang, my family used to belong to a shipping company, but actually it still belongs to a shipping company now. I'll go back and ask your friends in the shipping company what ships are running in the East China Sea."

"Does your family run boats?"

"Well, my dad and my brother are both running boats on the river."

Transportation is the biggest headache...

After learning that Han Yu was actually related to the shipping company, Huang Jiangsheng said happily: "Please, eggs and new rice may not be loaded here. If there are ships on the river to the East China Sea, I can transport the eggs and new rice to the river." "

"It's a little effort, not a request."

Thinking that the institute not only had to issue permits for boat people, but also for temporary residence permits for the few outsiders from the few units along the river, Han Yu said:

"Brother Huang, your main stay in Linghai is at the shipyard. The shipyard is under the jurisdiction of our Yanjiang Police Station. When the station is not busy in a few days, you can take your 'pocket household registration' and go to our station to apply for a temporary residence permit."

"OK."

"Xianyu, do you want me to do it?" Xiao Jiangxia raised his head and asked.

Han Yu smiled and said: "You are not a foreigner, so don't do it."
