Riverside police

In the blink of an eye, Han Yu has been on the Changxiu passenger ship for more than four and a half months.

This is the largest coastal passenger and cargo ship built in China. The first one was called the Long March, and later more than a dozen ships were built in succession. The ship names all started with the character "长", and were respectively added with the characters "自, 力, gentrification, 生, 金, embroidery" and "Chang". The characters are mountain, river, pine, cypress and willow.

The ship has a length of 138 meters, a width of 17.6 meters, a depth of 8.4 meters, a draft of 6 meters, and a total tonnage of more than 7,600 tons. The main engine uses 2 9ESDZ43/82 diesel engines with a power of 2×3310 kilowatts, a speed of 17 knots, and an endurance of 3,500 nautical miles. Mainly Travel routes from the East China Sea to Dalian, Qingdao, Xiamen and Guangzhou.

The four passenger ships of "Jinxiu Heshan" mainly go to Qingdao. In the past four and a half months, Han Yu has been to Qingdao 21 times and Dalu Island six times.

His current identity is a bit embarrassing. He is said to be a police officer of the Changxiu's police team but he does not participate in duty. He is said to be an intern third mate of the Changxiu and does not receive a salary from the Maritime Bureau.

In fact, the current job is similar to that of a sailor. Every day, under the arrangement of the bosun, I tie lines, knock rust and paint, and I am familiar with the work of a sailor, hull structure, and deck maintenance.

Although it was very hard, Han Yu did not complain.

Because each trainee third mate has to work in the deck department for half a year, and only after half a year can he follow the chief mate on duty, learn the responsibilities and requirements of the pilot's navigation watch, learn ship maneuvering, avoid collisions, and use various instruments to navigate and position, as well as become familiar with complex Special navigation methods and precautions in navigation areas and narrow waterways.

Sailing on the sea is different from sailing on the river. When the weather is calm, you can look out at the sea from the deck, watch the waves stirred up by the ship as it sails, and see the land leaving in the distance. You will feel comfortable and have the desire to write poems and express emotions.

But if you ride it on a windy day, the boat will rock very hard.

This trip back from Qingdao encountered strong winds, and there was no one on the deck.

The passengers who had been enjoying the sea view were all walking unsteadily and holding on to the handrails beside the aisle. The passengers who returned to the cabin were all lying on the bed, vomiting, their faces were pale, there were wolf tracks on the ground, and vomit was everywhere.

All the famous old political commissars in the country were cleaning the house, otherwise the passengers who bought individual tickets wouldn't even have a place to sit. Naturally, Han Yu couldn't sit idle and started working with the waiters, sweating profusely.

Return to the cabin and take the time to take a shower.

He had just put on clean work clothes and was about to go back to work. Public Security Commissioner Xiao Zhengfa came back from patrol. When he saw him, he smiled and asked: "Xianyu, after docking, do you plan to take a boat back to Bailong Port or directly take the boat?" Boat to Binjiang?"

Although I often dealt with the Baishen Police Team in the past, I didn't know much about the situation of the police teams of the Donghai Branch of the Changhang Public Security Bureau and the Donghai Maritime Public Security Bureau.

It wasn't until he became a member of the police team of the "Changxiu" that Han Yu learned that the police on the ship, like the police on the shore, were divided into two types: those with formal establishment and those without formal establishment.

The person in front of me was officially established and was the special public security commissioner assigned to the Changxiu No. by the Maritime Public Security Bureau, or public security officer for short.

His status on the ship is second only to the captain and political commissar, and he is responsible for all seven members of the police force.

It is worth mentioning that he is also the "guardian" of the local police where he comes to study with the class.

Han Yu said hurriedly: "The post-graduate talent test will take place. I plan to go back to Bailonggang first and visit the institute first, and then go to Binjiang."

The young man works very seriously and studies very hard.

Whenever I had time, I would shut myself in the cabin and study by myself. I heard that the steward who had just been transferred had worked on the "New East China Sea" and served foreign guests. He was very good at English and always looked for opportunities to learn from others.

Xiao Zhengfa took off his armed belt and put the gun aside. He sat down and asked with a smile: "How many subjects will you take this time?"

"Three doors."

"Do you have the confidence to pass the exam?"

Han Yu scratched his head and said with an embarrassed look: "Uncle Xiao, this is my first time taking the exam. I don't know if the paper is difficult, and I don't know if I can pass the exam."

Xiao Zhengfei smiled and said: "As long as you pass the self-study exam, it doesn't matter whether you get high marks or not."

Han Yu felt really unsure and said helplessly: "I'm just afraid of failing."

"It doesn't matter if you fail. If you fail this time, you can take the exam next time."

"Thank you Uncle Xiao for your encouragement."

"If you see Bureau Zhang and the rest of your water branch, remember to help me take care of them."

"Okay, I will definitely bring it."

In the eyes of others, they are here to do work.

But in Han Yu's mind, coming to the Maritime Public Security Bureau is about the same as coming to college.

Yu Bureau and Bureau Zhang first sent themselves to the Maritime Public Security Bureau and invited the bureau leaders to dinner. They asked for more help. Later, they sent themselves to the ship and asked for help from the captain, political commissar, old political commissar and the person in front of them...

Donghai Maritime Bureau is a higher-level unit than the Port Authority. If you want to study here, you can do it without salary.

This involves the promotion of crew positions and must be included in other people's trainee training plans.

Opportunities are hard to come by, so you must work hard and study hard.

Back on the deck, the wind dropped a lot, and the passengers who had been vomiting before came out in twos and threes.

It’s not that they like to rest on the deck or in the aisle. They mainly sit next to and above the cabin. It’s too noisy and too hot in summer, so they can’t stay there!

The old political commissar reminded travelers that the wind has not stopped and they must pay attention to safety.

Several passengers who often took passenger ships to the East China Sea surrounded him as soon as they saw him.

"Master Yang, how are you doing?"

"It's pretty good. I can still do it for a few more years."

"Time flies so fast, more than 20 years have passed in the blink of an eye."

"What more than twenty years?" the old political commissar asked, looking at a passenger holding a child with a smile.

The young passenger hugged the child tightly and explained: "The first time I saw you was twenty-two years ago, when we were on the 'Worker, Peasant, and Soldier No. 5'. You saw my mother carrying so much luggage and carrying her He looked at me, and without saying a word, he picked up a pole and helped us carry our luggage."

"Really? How old were you then?"

"This is my daughter. I was about the same age as my daughter is now."

"Tell me, how fast time flies. You were still a child at that time, and now you have your own children."

The man in front of me is a famous "carrying pole worker". Seeing that it was difficult for passengers to get off the ship with so much luggage, he used a carrying pole to help carry it. In the past few decades, he has broken dozens of carrying poles!

At that time, many tourists did not know that he had been promoted from waiter to political commissar, but he still imitated L Feng and did good deeds, and his shoulders were swollen.

Later, he voluntarily resigned from his position as political commissar and was willing to be an ordinary waiter.

The reason why the leader of the Maritime Public Security Bureau strongly recommended Han Yu to get on this ship had a lot to do with the old political commissar in front of him.

Because learning is all-round, you must not only learn ship driving skills, but also learn the selfless dedication of model workers.

After decades, the young tourist was very excited to see the "carrying pole model worker" again, and said with excitement: "My parents, sister and grandmother are all in the East China Sea. When I was a child, I lived with my grandparents in Qingdao. Before I was six years old, my parents went back and forth every year. I take a boat to and from Qingdao and the East China Sea. I have been taking a boat to and from the island by myself since I was six years old.

I go back and forth twice every year during the winter and summer vacations, and I only have family leave once every four years until I start working. I have been on all of them, from the earliest "Khan 47" and "Khan 49", to the later "Worker, Peasant and Soldier No. 5", "Worker, Peasant and Soldier No. 6", and now the long-prefixed passenger ships. "

The young passenger's mother squeezed forward and said with a smile: "Master Yang, I'm not afraid of your jokes. All the wages we earn are donated to your Maritime Bureau!"

"Old passenger."

"What about old passengers? They don't give discounts. The fare has gone up again. It has doubled. We can hardly afford to take the boat."

This year the country promulgated the Price Law, and prices began to rise as soon as it was promulgated.

Last month, the Ministry of Transport adjusted coastal passenger transport fares, with an average increase of 96.6% for each route.

The comprehensive base price of passenger transportation along the northern coast is 0.0241 yuan per person nautical mile, and along the south China coast it is 0.053 yuan per person nautical mile. Express routes are 30% more expensive than ordinary routes, and seasonal tourist routes are 20% more expensive than ordinary routes.

Although the fourth-class ferry ticket from Qingdao to Donghai has increased from more than ten yuan per ticket to thirty-three and eight yuan now, it is still hard to get a ticket.

The price of fifth-class private seats has also increased to 19.4 yuan. The Changxiu, which is approved to carry more than 800 passengers, now has more than 2,600 passengers.

Han Yu couldn't help but think that the ticket to Bailong Port from Shiliupu Pier must have also increased, but thinking that he first went to Changhang Public Security Donghai Branch to study and communicate, and then was sent to the Maritime Public Security Bureau by Changhang Donghai Branch, I also feel that no matter how much the price rises, it has nothing to do with me. I don’t need to buy a ticket to take the boat anyway.

Unconsciously, the passenger ship has entered the Yangtze River.

The sea water at Qingdao Pier is blue, and there are seagulls flying up and down.

After entering the Yangtze River Estuary, you will drive in the surging yellow mud soup, and your eyes will be filled with yellow water.

When the passenger ship entered Wusongkou at low speed and entered the Huangpu River, the river was full of ships and factories stood on the banks. From Wusongkou to the Gongping Road pier where the passenger ship was parked, dozens of miles of waterway could be said to have passed through the city.

The passenger terminal in Qingdao is very beautiful, but the Ferry Terminal on Pingjing Road is in shabby condition.

After the passenger ship docked, he said hello to the bosun and went to speak to the first mate. Then Han Yu carried the luggage he had packed earlier and picked up the two boxes of canned Qingdao beer he bought in Qingdao and went ashore.

Crossing the narrow Gongxin Road, I ran to the bus stop on Dongchangzhi Road and found a public phone booth. I called Lin Xiaohui first.

Ask the security guard in their factory's reception room to help shout, and then hang up.

After waiting for four or five minutes, I continued to call. As expected, Lin Xiaohui's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Xianyu, are you ashore?"

"Well, we just landed. We will go to Shiliupu Pier and take a boat home later."

Lin Xiaohui muttered: "I thought you would come to me."

Han Yu said hurriedly: "I really don't have time this time. I want to go to Binjiang to take the self-study exam."

In the past, he always felt that he was a child who would not grow up, until more than four months ago, when he and Han Xiangning came to see her, Lin Xiaohui suddenly realized that he was no longer a child.

He likes himself, and he is the only one in the world who cares about himself, but he is good at everything but likes running boats. If only he was not so stubborn, it would be great to come to Donghai to find a job like him.

Lin Xiaohui didn't want to miss it just like that, so she asked, "When will you have time?"

She misses me...

Han Yu's heart palpitated, and he quickly said: "We don't usually take a break, so we can only wait for vacation."

"Then when will you take your vacation?"

"I don't know either. I have to wait for the company to arrange it."

"You are a police officer, why do you have to wait for the company to arrange it!"

"I am a police officer, but I am a trainee here. This is similar to training here. I have to listen to the captain and first mate."

Han Yu was afraid that she would be unhappy, so he thought about it and said: "Either we don't take a vacation, we can take many days off at a time."

Lin Xiaohui asked curiously: "How many days can I take off?"

"The statutory rest is fifty-four days a year. Those who have a family have one month of family leave, and those like me who have not had a family have twenty days of family leave, which adds up to seventy-four days."

"Do you want to start a family?"

Han Yu didn't expect that she would ask that, and he chuckled and said, "I think so, but I'm not old enough, and I don't have that much money now."

Lin Xiaohui chuckled and said, "Without money, you can't have a family?"

Thinking of what Xu Suo had said before, Han Yu said excitedly: "Xiaohui, our bureau does not allocate housing, and we have no money to raise funds to build houses, but our municipal bureau's Water Branch is raising funds to build houses. The leader said that when the time comes, I’m keeping one house, I’m saving money, and in two years at most, I’ll have a house and a home on the shore.”

"Your city bureau?"

"I've been to the place where the house was built in Binjiang. It's not far from my sister's house."

"Is it far from Han Xiangning's house?"

"It's quite far from Sister Ningning's home. Her home is in the city. The residential building of Shuangshui Branch is built on the riverside, but it's very close to her work."

"Your future house is very close to her work unit, she must be very happy."

"Xiaohui, are you happy that I will have a house soon?"

"I'm happy too, happy for you."

"Why are you happy for us!"

"That's what it is. Of course you are happy if you are together."

"what do you want to say in the end."

Lin Xiaohui didn't want to go around in circles and decided to give him a chance. After hesitating for a while, she mustered up the courage to say: "I don't even want to go back to Linghai, let alone Binjiang, which I have never been to. Xianyu, if you can have a house in the East China Sea, , I will be very happy even in Qibao Town."

Han Yu was stunned and said with a grimace: "I am a police officer from the Linghai Public Security Bureau, not a police officer from Minhang. Even if I have money, I can't get a house in Qibao Town, let alone a lack of money."

"You can buy a house if you have money, and you can buy a house here in the East China Sea with money."

"How much does it cost?"

"It's definitely more expensive than raising funds to build a house."

"I don't have that much money, I can't afford it..."

"You don't have any money, but I do. I can help you collect it. I got 478 last month. I know this amount of money is definitely not enough, but I can save it slowly."

"How can I use your money to buy a house?"

The elm head is really hopeless!

Lin Xiaohui really didn't know what to say to him, so she could only mutter: "You should go back quickly. It's almost dark. It takes time to get to Shiliupu from Gongping Road Pier. Don't miss the boat by making phone calls."

"Okay, I'll call you when I get back from the exam."

"Be careful on the way back."

"I know."

Han Yu was not stupid, nor was he a fool. He had already heard the implication of his sweetheart's words, but he just didn't dare to agree.

During the Spring Festival this year, reporter Wang published news in the People's Daily.

Next to the news about many boats illegally fishing for eel fry in the riverside waters, there is a news about housing prices.

The title is still fresh in my memory to this day, and it is astonishingly "House prices are soaring, and people are sighing when they look at the buildings."

The content is even more shocking. It says that Donghai launched more than 11,000 housing units in January this year, but less than one-tenth of the sales were completed because of the high price, with the highest price per square meter reaching 2,300 yuan.

The reporter also calculated that even if a college student starts working frugally, saving fifty yuan a month is the maximum, and it will take a hundred years to buy a two-bedroom apartment.

Although the houses in Minhang are not in the downtown area, they are probably not much cheaper.

If Lin Xiaohui had another wish, she would have to help her realize it even if she wanted to sell everything.

But this wish is too far out of reach and cannot be achieved by one person's hard work. It seems that it will only disappoint her.

The more Han Yu thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt. The throbbing mood before disappeared. On the way to Shiliupu Pier by bus, he kept reminding himself that he was an ordinary person and should live an ordinary life down-to-earth.

As for how far we can go with Lin Xiaohui, let it be.

Besides, if you like someone, you don’t have to own them, as long as they live well.

She is a girl, so willing to endure hardships, and so beautiful. She still has a chance to have a home of her own in Donghai, such as marrying a Donghai person like her aunt.

I am a man and I can’t get married even if I want to, so I have to rely on myself.

Work hard, study hard, save hard, and once you have your own house in Binjiang, it shouldn't be difficult to find a partner...
