Riverside police

My sister and my husband are gone and everything is back to normal.

The only difference from before is that you don't have to cook anymore when you return to the factory after work. The cook, Lao Qian, will come to the shipyard to help when he's not busy.

Lao Qian is sixty-one years old, thin, clean, always has a smile on his face, and speaks slowly and softly.

There is also a pen in the pocket on his chest, which makes him look very formal, like a teacher, not like a cook.

He is a homeless person and had been living in the No. 4 Factory Supply and Marketing Cooperative. He could go to a nursing home when he retired, but he didn't want to go.

If Director Ding of the No. 4 Police Station hadn't recommended him to come to the Yanjiang Police Station to cook, he would have gone to help others look after the fish ponds.

Han Yu really couldn't figure out how someone like him could be a bachelor. Seeing Boss Wu walking over with a crystal cup in his hand, he curiously asked about Lao Qian.

As long as you are from the Fourth Factory, no one has ever been to the supply and marketing cooperative.

Boss Wu knew Lao Qian well. He looked up at the Yanjiang Police Station in the distance and explained: "Although Qian Dafu served as a soldier and participated in the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, before liberation, his family was a landlord and his status was not good. Who would want to be a poor and lower-middle peasant family? Marry the girl to him.”

"Why didn't you find a wife later? Now you don't care about the ingredients."

"Maybe he is used to living alone. Besides, although his background was not good in the past, he was arranged to cook at the supply and marketing cooperative after he returned from the army. He has not endured much hardship. He loves cleanliness and is a bit particular. He may not look down on the unfashionable rural areas. Women.”

"Does he have any relatives?"

"I have two nephews, their surname is Tao. I forgot their names. I only know that they are Tao Da and Tao Er. Bachelors seem to be contagious. Tao Da and Tao Er did not find a wife (they did not marry a mother-in-law). The other raised cattle and plowed the fields. , one is watching the cage net, and will go to a nursing home in the future."

While gossiping, there was a burst of electricity from the walkie-talkie I brought with me in the morning.

Immediately afterwards, Xu Sanye was heard shouting on the intercom: "Salted fish, salted fish, answer quickly when you hear it."

Han Yu quickly wiped his hands, picked up the walkie-talkie and pressed the call button: "Received, Xu Suo, please speak."

"Hurry up and wash your hands and come back and change your clothes. We're too busy here. Help me go to the bureau to do some errands."

"Okay, I'll be there soon."

…

Packed up the tools, locked the hatch, and hurried to the place.

Xu Sanye and the instructor were preparing to go out. When they saw him, they pointed at a pile of materials in the office.

"Xianyu, send these to the Public Security Department and ask them to hurry up. Just tell them that I will pick up the ruling early tomorrow morning."

It turned out to be a procedure for public security punishment.

Han Yu reacted and was about to ensure delivery when Li Weiguo asked with a smile: "Xiao Han, have you chosen the major for the self-study exam? If you have chosen, go to the political office and tell the comrades in the political office that they are here. It’s a good time to sign up for you.”

"The choice has been made."

"What major did you choose?"

"Turbine Technology."

"Why did you choose turbine technology? I thought you chose law."

"Can't you choose turbine technology?"

Li Weiguozheng didn't know what to say, so Xu Sanye smiled and said: "It's good to learn technology. We need legal talents as well as technical talents."

Li Weiguo thought to himself that this was not misleading, so he reminded: "Xu Suo, Xiao Han is a policeman now, he must not understand the law."

Xu Sanye lit a cigarette and said confidently: "It depends on what kind of talents we need now. In the past, there were few people who knew the law, but now everyone is studying law, either taking self-study exams or taking correspondence courses. They study in a swarm. What's the meaning."

"But you can't understand it."

"You know what Xianyu doesn't understand. You can teach me when you are done with the current period of work, but the main thing is to learn skills. A person cannot be without skills."

Han Yu agreed with the director's words that no matter what you learn, you should combine it with your own situation.

The family conditions are not good and they must find ways to make money.

What can you do with a college diploma in law? Learning engineering technology is different. By the time you get the college diploma, you will be almost 18 years old, and you will have two or three years to serve on a ship.

At that time, you can take the promotion exam, and when you get the certificate of competency for inland waterway ship-related positions, you can find a better job and make a lot of money on a big ship!

Xu Sanye didn't know this. His support for Xianyu to learn technology had a lot to do with his previous academic qualifications.

Workers, peasants and soldiers college students have a poor foundation, and most of them study liberal arts.

If you have no skills and cannot do research, even if you are not affected by politics, you will still be looked down upon by those who pass the college entrance examination and go to university.

He raised his arm and looked at his watch, and then said: "Stop by the logistics department and ask Zhang Lan where the bureau's envelopes are printed."

Before Han Yu could speak, Li Weiguo asked in confusion: "Why are you asking about this? If you need an envelope, you can go to the bureau to get it."

"We have to return the ticket money lost to scalpers to more than 4,000 passengers, and send letters to more than 4,000 passengers. If we ask for so many envelopes from the bureau at once, they will definitely talk nonsense.

Besides, we return the money to others, and we send the letters to others, so why use envelopes from the bureau! "

"We were originally the Yanjiang Police Station of the Linghai County Public Security Bureau."

"The Linghai County Public Security Bureau is in charge. I realize that no one else is as high as others. When I do good deeds, I have to leave my name. When sending letters, I must use the envelope from my Yanjiang Police Station!"

He always thought about something different from others. Li Weiguo was completely convinced, and Han Yu couldn't help but laugh.

I went upstairs to wash myself off, put on clean clothes, came down and picked up the public security punishment materials, put them in my bag, got on my bicycle and headed straight to the county seat.

Twenty miles is not that far.

He rushed to the station and sent the materials to the security department, but as expected he was teased again.

There were only two policemen in the political office, and they were busy writing materials. They had no time to tease him, the youngest policeman in the history of the bureau. However, when he learned that Han Yu was going to apply for engineering skills, his eyes were a little weird.

Walking into the logistics unit office, Zhang Lan and an old lady were busy posting invoices.

When Zhang Lan saw him, she immediately put down the invoice in her hand and asked with a smirk why she wasn't wearing uniform.

Which pot is not opened and lifted?

Han Yu didn't mention the embarrassment and quickly got down to business.

Zhang Lan understood the ins and outs and was about to speak when the elder sister smiled and said: "There are plenty of envelopes in the warehouse. If you insist on printing them yourself, is your Xu Institute planning to become independent and separate from the bureau?"

"Sister Jiang, don't get me wrong. Our main concern at Xu Institute is that there are too many letters to send..."

"I'm kidding you, how dare I misunderstand you Xu Suo."

The eldest sister didn't want to get burned, so she turned around and said with a smile: "Zhang Lan, you have the phone number of the printing house. Please copy the number and give it to Xianyu."

"Okay, right away."

Zhang Lan still admired Xu Sanye. He opened the drawer and took out a small book, rummaged through to find a number, found a piece of white paper, wrote it down, and handed it to Han Yu.

"Thank you, Sister Zhang. I'll go back first."

"Let's go after dinner."

"No, I have something else to do."

"This kid is still embarrassed."

…

Han Yu did not return to Bailong Port, but went straight to the "Water Village" in the north of the city.

It is said to be a village, but it is actually three rows of dormitories built beside the Binqi River.

In order to solve the problems of providing care for the elderly boat people and schooling for their children, the shipping company coordinated with the county to acquire a piece of land and build these three rows of houses.

But there are more than a thousand boat people in the company, and these three rows of houses are simply not enough.

At that time, the Han family did not have a very urgent need for a house on the shore, so they did not argue with others. Now it is too late to regret it.

From the roadside, the environment looks pretty good.

Walking to the river is a different scene. Many boat people who have not been allocated dormitories still live on boats. Old boats are moored by the river. There are piles of domestic garbage, overgrown weeds, sewage flowing across the river, and mosquitoes and flies flying around.

Han Yu was looking for where the boat of his childhood friends was parked. A familiar middle-aged woman came out of the cabin, looked at him and shouted happily: "Isn't this San'er!"

"Aunt Zhang, you didn't go to run the boat?"

"You just came back a few days ago. Aren't you in a technical secondary school? Why did you remember coming back?"

"I graduated."

"It's so fast. When did you graduate?"

"This year."

These are all "old neighbors". When I was admitted to technical secondary school, my parents came back to treat guests. They set up more than 20 tables by the river and paid for a screening team to show a movie.

It is no exaggeration to say that at that time, it was really the pride of all shipowners in the shipping company.

Aunt Zhang's voice was loud, and soon the riverside was filled with people. Even her fourth daughter, Lin Xiaohui, whom she had played with when they were children, got out of the cabin and stood in the corner, laughing.

Coming back here feels like going home. Han Yu can't even call anyone.

"They are already working and assigned to the Public Security Bureau!"

"I've been taking classes for almost a month."

"Which department of the Public Security Bureau are you in?" an uncle asked excitedly.

Han Yu smiled and said: "At the Yanjiang Police Station."

A young man squeezed in and asked with a smile: "San'er, are you talking about the police station next to the Bailong Port lock?"

"That's the one."

"Why didn't you tell me earlier? I passed by your police station when I came back last night."

"It's not too late to know now. If you pass by our place in the future, remember to call out. I will be there every day."

Aunt Liu asked enviously: "You are already a police officer, why don't you wear a police uniform?"

Seeing so many old neighbors, Han Yu really felt like returning to her hometown in fine clothes. She glanced at her daughter and explained, "It's not convenient to go out in uniform."

Aunt Liu looked back behind her and couldn't help but smile: "Xiaohui, what are you doing hiding behind? Come and say hello to San'er."

"oh."

Lin Xiaohui was a little embarrassed. She hesitated and squeezed in. She looked at Han Yu and quickly lowered her head and pinched the corners of her clothes.

She has grown taller and grown up. She wears a big braid and is more beautiful than her two sisters before they got married.

The boat people do not have as many rules as those on the shore, and most of the boat people's family conditions are not very good. Han Yu clearly remembers wearing crotchless pants or even bare buttocks when he was a child, and playing with her who also wore crotchless pants or even bare buttocks.

We didn't see each other for a few years in elementary school, and then we became classmates in junior high school.

It's just that she went to school late. She was in the first grade of junior high school when he was in the third grade, not in the same grade.

At that time, even the boys and girls in the class didn't talk to each other. Even their deskmates couldn't talk too much, otherwise they would be laughed at by other classmates, so the two of them kept pretending that they didn't know each other.

Because they were similar in age, it was difficult for the children on the boat to find a partner. When they were young, their parents joked with Aunt Liu more than once, saying that when the two children grew up, Aunt Liu would marry Xiaohui to him.

Thinking of what happened when he was a child, Han Yu was also very embarrassed and asked calmly: "Aunt Liu, has Xiaohui graduated?"
