Riverside police

Just because Han Yu came ashore does not mean he can go home.

Since the captain, first mate and chief engineer of the cargo ship were all foreigners, the company had already helped book a hotel near the dock. Han Yu was originally a senior crew member, and after seventeen consecutive months of hard work and hard work, he also enjoyed the treatment of living in a single room.

Other crew members also stayed in the same hotel, but they shared a room.

Han Yu took his senior sister to the front desk to complete the check-in formalities. He took out two cigarettes brought back from abroad from the suitcase and stuffed them into the jeep.

This was a gift from his apprentice. Xu Sanye was not polite. He gave a few more instructions and drove away in the jeep.

The car disappeared into the night, and Han Yu was still standing at the door.

Han Xiangning knew that he was worried about Xu Sanye's safety on the way back, so she gently held his arm: "There is a passenger ferry to and from Taoming Island at Wusongkou, and the Niupeng Port on Taoming Island has now opened a car ferry to and from Bailong Port. Xu Suo and Sister Han Ning arrived home after crossing the river twice, and they only had to drive for a while on Taoming Island."

"Is there a ferry to and from Bailong Port to Niupeng Port?"

"It opened last year and there are a lot of cars crossing the river."

Han Xiangning leaned on his shoulder, thought about it and said: "Linghai has suddenly opened two bus crossings across the river. There are many cars crossing the river from Bailonggang to Minming Island, but there are no vehicles from Lingda Bus Ferry. many."

Han Yu subconsciously asked: "Lingda Bus Ferry, is it the bus ferry between Linghai and Okura?"

"Well, the ferry is built in Sanhe, and the traffic volume is almost as high as Binsha Ferry."

"Who is responsible for the security of the ferry?"

"They are all under the jurisdiction of your Yanjiang Police Station. Now you are not allowed to recruit contract police officers, but you can recruit joint defense team members. Your station now has nine joint defense team members. Not only is there a water security checkpoint at Bailong Port, but also at two ferries. At the security checkpoint.”

County, no, Linghai is now a city.

Han Yu had long known that the city would improve transportation and invest in building ferries. He didn't expect that two ferries would be built at one time. He was secretly sighing at the great changes in the past two years. Han Xiangning smiled again and said: "It is more convenient to come to the East China Sea now than before. You can take a car." , you can also take a high-speed passenger ferry.”

"A hovercraft that travels very fast?"

"It's that kind of boat. It only takes more than three hours to get from Bailong Port. But it depends on the weather. If the weather is bad, the sailing will be suspended, and the fare is also expensive. Forty-five yuan a ticket, no ordinary person can afford it. "

"Ning Ning, have you ever sat down?"

"Want to take me on a high-speed ferry?"

"I have money!"

"I know you have money, but I don't want to sit."

"Why."

"Sitting dizzy."

Afraid that his junior students would not believe it, Han Xiangning explained: "There are also several high-speed passenger ferries in Binjiang Port. If they want to open routes, they must be approved by our bureau. I went to ride on them during the trial voyage. They were fast, but they were uncomfortable to sit on."

Han Yu reacted, put on her travel bag, dragged her trolley suitcase, and walked with her to the elevator door. The bearded captain and the Canadian second officer came out of the elevator. It was clear from a glance that they wanted to have fun.

When the bearded captain saw Han Xiangning, he finally understood why Han Yu wanted to change his career.

After praising him as usual, joking a few words, he walked out of the hall with the second officer.

The junior boy was chatting and laughing with two foreigners just now. He spoke all in English and he was very fluent!

Han Xiangning was very impressed and envious. As soon as she found the room, she pulled him and asked, "San'er, why are your spoken English so good?"

"I learned it from the captain and second mate. I stay with them every day. Even if you don't understand, you have to understand it."

Han Yu opened the door, put down his travel bag, dragged the suitcase in, turned around and closed the door, and added with a smile: "The chief engineer, machinists, electricians and sailors are all sent by the company, and their English level is even better than mine." It’s not as good as any of them, so I have to learn it, otherwise I won’t be able to translate for them.”

We can stay in another room, and it only has one big bed.

Han Xiangning put down her small bag, ran over and closed the curtains, turned around and asked with a snicker: "San'er, what if we live together and the police come to check the room?"

"This is a foreign-related hotel. The police should not come to investigate."

"I mean just in case."

"There is nothing to be afraid of even if you come here to check. I am your boyfriend and you are my girlfriend. We will get married in a few years. It is not prostitution."

"Would that mean we were living together illegally?"

"Don't think so wildly. Besides, I am a police officer. Am I afraid that my colleagues will come to investigate?"

The light was a bit dim, so Han Yu walked to the bedside and turned on all the lights. Then he opened the suitcase and took out a large bag of cosmetics.

Shampoo, facial cleanser, facial cleanser, sunscreen, eye shadow, lipstick...it's dazzling, and they're all imported!

Han Xiangning was stunned, picked up a lipstick and asked, "Given it to me?"

"Um."

"How much does this cost!"

"It didn't cost much."

"How could you be willing to buy it, and how could you think of buying these?"

"Actually, I don't know what's good or bad. There is a colleague on our ship who does. When the ship docked, he went to buy one for his girlfriend, so I followed him and bought a set."

These cosmetics cannot be bought in China even if you have money.

Han Xiangning couldn't put it down and said with a smile: "Don't spend money randomly in the future."

Han Yu smiled slightly and took out an envelope from under the suitcase: "Ning Ning, all the money is here."

"what money?"

"Navigation allowances, everyone has them. Captains have the most, and ordinary sailors have the least. I am neither high nor low. For one dollar and eighty cents a day, I bought a few cartons of cigarettes, these cosmetics, and some daily necessities. , didn’t buy anything else.”

"How much money is there?"

"Seven hundred and sixty-eight dollars."

Han Xiangning had never seen a U.S. dollar before. She put down her cosmetics and took the envelope. She snickered and asked, "How much is it worth in RMB?"

Han Yu smiled and said: "It depends on how you exchange it. It seems to be 1 to 8.5 when you go to the bank. The black market exchange rate is higher, but we can't break the law."

"So it can be exchanged for more than 6,000 yuan!"

"I still have labor fees. The labor fees are more than the allowance."

You can learn and make money at the same time. Where can you find such a good thing?

Thinking of bidding farewell to his career as a seaman, Han Yu said with emotion: "If you join a freight company's own ship, you won't have to pay so much for labor, but if you join someone else's ship, you have to follow their rules. For example, some jobs are not within the scope of a sailor's responsibilities. But if you don’t do it, you can’t do it, so you have to pay.”

I knew I could make money by running a boat, but I didn’t expect the money would come in so quickly...

Han Xiangning stuffed the money she had just counted into the envelope and asked curiously: "San'er, everyone brings imported home appliances when they return home, and some bring motorcycles, why don't you bring some."

This is an embarrassing and somewhat poignant topic.

Han Yu hesitated for a moment and explained: "Customs has regulations. For six months, you can choose to bring a motorcycle or so-called large items such as a refrigerator or a color TV, as well as a bicycle, a telephone and other small items, plus two Cigarettes, a bottle of wine, etc., and you must declare legal and sufficient foreign exchange income.

But our seafarers’ foreign exchange income mainly comes from the sailing allowance issued by the company in accordance with regulations. The interns who just boarded the ship only have sixty cents per day. For a high-end person like me, it is less than two dollars per day. No matter how cheap foreign motorcycles and TV sets are, if you want to save enough by relying on air travel allowances, six months will not be enough, sixty months will be enough. "

Han Xiangning asked in confusion: "Then how did he have the money to buy it?"

Sailors are definitely the first group to enjoy high-end household appliances such as color TVs and refrigerators. Neighbors are envious and even ask for help to bring one back... But who knows the bitterness involved.

Han Yu took a deep breath and whispered: "Most of those motorcycles and home appliances are old. There are many places in Japan that sell old home appliances. We sailors can't afford new ones, so we can only buy old ones. The old ones are indeed very cheap. "

"old!"

"It's really old, but we just don't tell anyone. The sailors won't even tell their families how they brought those old color TVs, old refrigerators, and old air conditioners back and put them on the ship. It's painful, both physical and spiritual. Only we, the sailors, know it.”

Han Xiangning asked in a low voice: "It's like picking up rags?"

Han Yu nodded and said helplessly: "I heard that several TV stations in Japan have done reports on this. They focused their cameras on the sailors who were bargaining with the clerks in the old electrical appliance store, and then followed them all the way to take pictures of how the sailors were covered with hair. Sweating profusely, I carried the old appliances on my shoulders and carried them with difficulty all the way to the dock and put them on the ship.”

Before, I only knew that seafarers made a lot of money, but I didn’t know that seafarers had such a hard life.

Han Xiangning was silent for a moment and then changed the subject: "Go and take a shower quickly. Take a shower and rest early. You have to get on the ship tomorrow."

"I took a shower and got off the boat."

"Then I'll go take a shower first."

"Okay, I'll pack my things."

Han Xiangning took out a change of clothes from the small bag, walked into the bathroom, and turned around and said, "No peeking."

"Okay, I won't peek." Han Yu took out the dirty clothes and put them aside, planning to wash them and dry them later.

There was a splashing sound of water inside, followed by mist.

Now we are ashore, and we can be with the senior sister from now on. Han Yu sat on the bedside in a daze, feeling that everything was like a dream.

"San'er, San'er."

"Here, what's wrong?"

"I've washed it, you should rinse it too. It won't be clean on the boat, especially your feet, which are so smelly, so you must wash them well."

"Oh, I'll get some clothes."

Han Xiangning came out wrapped in a bath towel, her pretty face flushed.

When the senior sister came out of the bath, she looked very charming. Han Yu was stunned.

Han Xiangning picked up a dry towel and wiped her hair while urging: "What are you looking at? Go and wash it quickly."

"Okay, I'll go right away."

Han Yu calmed down and hurriedly walked into the bathroom.

When I came out after washing and wrapped in a bath towel, the lights in the room had been turned off, and I could clearly hear the nervous and rapid breathing of the senior sister.

I don’t know how long it took, but the storm finally dissipated.

Han Yu gently stroked the senior sister's fair back, hesitated and asked, "Ning Ning, will something happen if we do this?"

"I'm not afraid, what are you afraid of?" Han Xiangning lay on him like an octopus, closing his eyes and reminiscing about the passion just now.

"We are underage."

"You mean the age of marriage?"

"According to the regulations, a man must be twenty-five years old to marry late." Han Yu said with a bitter face.

Han Xiangning, who has always been bold and bold, steeled herself and raised her head, stroking his prickly stubble, and said with a smile: "If you wait until marriage before you can be intimate, then when will you wait? Do you want me to wait until I am an old girl?"

Experts who formulated the policy of late marriage and late childbearing obviously did not consider the situation where the woman is older and the man is younger. Only marriages over the age of 25 for men and women over 23 are defined as late marriages.

If the woman is twenty-five and the man is twenty-three, it is not a late marriage.

Han Yu felt that this policy was unfair to the seniors, but after thinking about it, he still whispered: "I'm afraid. I have nothing to do with myself. I'm worried about you. What if there is one?"

"Don't worry, I have medicine."

"Where did it come from?"

"Stealed it from Mengmeng."

Han Yu was happy and couldn't help but ask: "You mean she and Liang Xiaojun were also intimate."

Talking about her younger sister, Han Xiangning, she felt that she was a good baby. She lay on the junior's chest again, listened to the junior's heartbeat, and muttered: "She and Liang Xiaojun were not only intimate, she also stole the household registration book behind our parents' backs." , go to the Civil Affairs Bureau with Liang Xiaojun to get a marriage certificate."

"Mengmeng and Liang Xiaojun are married!"

"She doesn't care whether her work unit requires late marriage and late childbearing, and she doesn't care what our parents think. As soon as they reach age, they secretly go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get their certificates."

"Does Liang Xiaojun's family know?"

"I only found out later."

As expected of someone who grew up in the army, he actually made a meal out of raw rice.

Han Yu was shocked and asked: "Did you help them organize a make-up wedding?"

"What should we do to make up for it? Someone is almost dead."

"Anyone killed?"

"Liang Xiaojun's mother didn't agree and asked Liang Xiaojun to divorce Mengmeng. Liang Xiaojun didn't listen to her, so she actually went to the hospital to argue with my mother. My mother was very angry, and my father was even more angry, so she called Liang Xiaojun's father. "

"Then what."

"Liang Xiaojun's father went back and quarreled with Liang Xiaojun's mother. They quarreled and even started fighting. The young couple's affairs were not over yet, and the old couple actually started a divorce first. Anyway, it was a huge commotion."

Compared with her sister, Han Xiangning felt that she was the happiest woman in the world. As she talked, she hugged her tighter than before.

Han Yu didn't expect his sister-in-law to make such a big fuss and asked, "Has Liang Xiaojun graduated?"

"I graduated early and was assigned to Changzhou People's Hospital. He also asked someone to find a way to transfer Mengmeng there. Now they are closing the door and living their own little lives, and they don't want the two families anymore."

"If Mengmeng doesn't go home, Liang Xiaojun won't go back to his home either?"

"I haven't even come back, not even during the New Year."

Han Xiangning sighed secretly, and continued: "Mengmeng doesn't want this family, but we can't want her. I went to Changzhou to see her several times, and she looked very happy. Liang Xiaojun is indeed very good to her."

Han Yu mused: "Sister Mengmeng is so awesome. No one else would dare to steal the household registration book to get the marriage certificate."

Han Xiangning raised his head, looked at him with a smile and asked, "Am I not great?"

"You're awesome too."

"Don't laugh at me. If I hadn't seen you working so hard running the boat, I wouldn't... wouldn't have gone to the East China Sea to pick you up."

"I know, how could I laugh at you."
