Riverside police

Now that Xu Sanye is gone, Li Weiguo is the most respected elder in the Xiaoyu family.

In the words of Comrade Lao Li, everything is centered on economic construction now. Yuzhen is so capable and has finally made a career in Hanwu. Lao Yu and his wife should support and help their children.

Yuzhen's parents are running boats outside. Captain Wang, an elder and matchmaker, can fully represent the woman and thinks that Lao Yu and his wife should go to Hanwu to help the children.

The two boats can be sold, but what about the home on the shore?

Just when Lao Yu and his wife were hesitant, Lao Qian called from far away in Hanwu.

"Uncle Qian, I'm Han Yu, we are having dinner, have you eaten? Uncle Li and Captain Wang are here, Xiaoyu and the others are also here, and we are talking about this matter. The boat is easy to handle. I used to work at the Water Branch. You should be impressed by Liu Xinpei."

Han Yu looked at Xiaoyu's parents with a smile, held up his mobile phone and said with a smile: "He came back from Shenzhen. He has nothing to do now. Although it is harder to open a shop on the river, he can earn more than 100,000 yuan a year at least. I will do it this afternoon I asked Ma Jintao to find him and he was interested."

Lao Qian sincerely hoped that his daughter and son-in-law could come to Hanwu to help the children. Standing in a public phone booth, he asked: "Where is another boat?"

"The other one is easy to handle. Uncle Li's niece-in-law, Xu Changsheng, wants to take over. As for the transfer fee, it's easy to negotiate. They can't come up with that much money for the time being, so we can give them some slack. They're not outsiders anyway. The problem now is whether Uncle Yu can Don’t worry about my family, after all, Hanwu is so far away and I can’t come back only a few times a year, so I can’t always have no one at home.”

"I'm going back!"

"Uncle Qian, Xiaoyu and the others are over there. What are you doing when you come back?"

Lao Qian lit a cigarette and said with a smile: "I miss home. No matter how nice it is outside, it's not as nice as my own home. When they all come over, I'll go back and look after the house."

"It's better to tell Xiaoyu and the others about such a big deal."

Han Yu quickly handed the phone to Xiaoyu. Xiaoyu was about to pick it up when Comrade Lao Li snatched the phone and laughed and said: "Old Qian, I, Li Weiguo, how are you doing?"

"Professor Li, I'm fine, but I'm a little homesick. Please help me talk to them and let me go back and look after my family."

"How can you come back alone?"

"What's wrong? Besides, I'm not really alone after I go back. Aren't Xianyu and Ningning in Bailong Port? They have neighbors in the village, and there are so many old friends in the locks, docks and shipyards. They visit homes, go fishing, It’s good to chat with old friends and play chess.”

…

Xiaoyu's building is Lao Qian's home, and people miss home when they get old.

This phone call from Lao Qian finally made Xiaoyu's parents decide to go to Hanwu.

The Chinese New Year is coming soon, which is the busiest time for Xiaoyu and Yuzhen. It is impossible to come back to pick them up after leaving, so the transfer of the two "shop boats" was negotiated in the morning.

Liu Xinpei, a former marine policeman, wrote an IOU to Xiaoyu and took over the ship anchored at Yingchuang Port and the goods on board. Xu Changsheng, Li Weiguo's niece and son-in-law, took over the ship and goods on board from Xiaoyu's family in Bailong Port... …

On the twelfth day of the twelfth lunar month, the ninth day after Xiaoyu's family left, Lao Qian came back after a long journey carrying his luggage.

Just like the last time I sent Xiaoyu to report to the police academy, I first took a train to Donghai, and then took the Baishen passenger ferry back from Donghai.

As soon as I got off the ship, I went straight to the employee family area of ​​the dock to see Xiao Hanhan. As soon as I got off the boat, I received a red envelope containing one thousand yuan!

Han Yu was startled: "Uncle Qian, this is too much."

Han Xiangning did not dare to ask for any reward without merit, and said eagerly: "Uncle Qian, how can we ask for your money, and there is so much of it."

"not much."

Lao Qian looked back at Mother Han who was busy making tea, and said proudly: "This is the salary Yuzhen gave me. I don't want it, but she insists on giving it. She won't be happy if I don't take it. I already have it." Retirement salary, besides, I don’t have much to spend money on, so I won’t leave it for my children, so I won’t be happy if you don’t accept it.”

"Yuzhen pays you a salary?"

"Not only do they give it to me, but now they also give it to Xiaoyu's parents. That kid is very particular."

"Uncle Qian, you are so lucky."

"Yeah, I'm really blessed. Tell me, who could have imagined living this life."

Just as he was talking, Chen Zikun's family came back.

Lao Qian signaled Han Xiangning to quickly put away the red envelope, then took out another red envelope that he had prepared earlier and forced it on Chen Zikun's son.

They are also juniors, but they are separated from each other. Chen Zikun's son is only two hundred.

The old man came all the way back, and he must catch the wind for him.

Mother Han prepared a table of food and wine. Han Yu invited Lao Ding and Lao Zhang, who were on duty at Bainiu Ferry, and after thinking about it, he called Zhang Erxiao and old man Zhang, the gatekeeper of Bailonggang Shipyard, to accompany Comrade Lao Qian. drink wine.

After returning home, Lao Qian was so happy that he put down his wine glass and said happily: "Hanwu is big and lively, but there are no relatives and friends. I don't speak Mandarin very well, and I don't even have anyone to talk to. It's better to come back. It’s still lively at home.”

Old Ding smiled and said: "Old Qian, you think it's good to come back, but the children are worried."

"If you're not worried, you can call me. Yuzhen gave me three thousand yuan to install the phone."

"The initial installation fee is not as expensive as before. It doesn't cost three thousand, but it can't be done in Bailonggang. You have to go to the Fourth Factory Post and Telecommunications Office."

"The Bailonggang Post and Telecommunications Station is closed?"

"It's not that we can't do it, it's that the post office is gone."

"Where have you gone?"

"It's closed." Lao Zhang pointed in the direction of the post office and sighed: "Not only is the post office closed, but the supply and marketing cooperative has also been contracted to private individuals."

Lao Qian did not expect that Bailong Port had changed so much after being out for half a year. He couldn't help but ask: "The post and telecommunications office is closed. Where will Director Wu and the others go?"

"After going to the Fourth Factory, several people at the post office regretted it more and more."

"What do you regret?"

"I regret raising funds to build a house. Bailonggang is not as lively as before, and we have to travel so far to and from get off work. When they raised funds to build a house, the average family spent more than 20,000, but now no one wants a house for 10,000. "

Lao Zhang took a bite of the cold dish and continued: "The same goes for Bailonggang Health Center. Although it is not closed, it is almost closed. It will be transformed from a health center into a clinic. Only two doctors will be left. The others will all go to the Fourth Factory Health Center. .”

Lao Qian couldn't believe this was true and asked, "Where is Bailonggang Primary School?"

"It's probably going to be soon. Now there's only one child per family, not that many children. Primary schools in several surrounding villages have been merged. It's only a matter of time before Bailonggang Primary School is merged into Sichang Primary School."

"What about commercial companies?"

"There is only one person left in the commercial company to look after the door, and no one is renting those warehouses for free."

The Bainiu passenger line is suspended.

The long-distance bus station is closed.

Bailonggang Post and Telecommunications Station is closed, commercial companies are closed, supply and marketing cooperatives are closed, health centers are turned into clinics, and even Bailonggang Primary School is to be merged into No. 4 Primary School...

Lao Qian really couldn't accept this fact, and frowned and said: "In the past, the county was not as lively as the Fourth Factory, and the Fourth Factory was not as lively as Bailonggang. Bailonggang can be said to be the liveliest and most prosperous place in Linghai, how could it have declined? It’s like this now.”

"Uncle Qian, Bailong Port used to be lively. It has been lively for more than a hundred years. It mainly relied on water passenger transportation and its proximity to the East China Sea. Now that water passenger transportation is no longer available, it naturally cannot be lively."

"I came back from the East China Sea by passenger ship. There were quite a few people on the ship."

"It's not much." Han Yu put down his chopsticks, raised his head and said, "Besides, what time is it now? It's Spring Festival travel."

Lao Qian came to his senses and sighed: "It's true, the ship is not full for the Chinese New Year soon. It can't be compared with before."

Lao Ding helped Lao Qian fill up the wine and said lightly: "Lao Zhang and I won't be able to work in Bailong Port for long. The manager of the ferry company said that the ferry will be closed after the Spring Festival, and people and ferries will go to Sanhe. From now on, there will only be Ling." Big steam ferry, there will be no more White Ox steam ferry.”

"If the ferry is closed, how will the people on the island come over, and how will the people here get to the island?"

"The Bainiu ferry is suspended and the Lingniu ferry route will be opened. This will be inconvenient for the people of the Fourth Factory, especially Bailonggang, but it will have little impact on the people of other towns."

"Why should it be closed? Why should it be merged with Sanhe?"

"The siltation is so severe that it is difficult to sail the ferry. Then we take the Bainiu Ferry to the East China Sea, and then we have to take another ferry when we get to Minming Island, which is unsafe and inconvenient."

As a police officer, other people's jurisdictions are developing better and better, but my own jurisdiction is just the opposite. Every day is worse than a fake one.

Thinking of the scene when Bailong Port was prosperous, Han Yu felt very uncomfortable.

Zhang Erxiao is a real Bailonggang native. Thinking that the place where he made his fortune has turned out like this, he feels even more uncomfortable. He can't help but smile bitterly: "It is said that people who depend on mountains and rivers depend on mountains and rivers. In the past, there were more people in the village who depended on the docks." At least I can make some money. Now I can’t hope to go to the dock, so I have to go out to do business or go out to work, and no one even the village cadres are willing to do it.”

Village cadres have more work, less money, and no social status, so young people are really not willing to do it.

Han Yu joked: "Mr. Zhang, you can do it."

"Zhi Shu Wang actually came to me and told me that I should not forget the elders in my hometown when I became rich. He wanted to elect me as a village cadre and let me lead the big guys to get rich."

"This is a good thing. You should make some contribution to your hometown."

"I am from Donghai now, not from Bailonggang. Besides, what else is there in Bailonggang besides the passenger terminal? The Bainiu steam crossing is a custom, and transportation is even more inconvenient. There are not even a few strong laborers in the village, so nothing can be done. "

He bought a house in Donghai and has a blue-stamped household registration in Donghai.

During this time, he was looking for the Education Bureau to ask if he could transfer his fiancée Gao Xiaoqin's household registration. If so, would it affect his future retirement salary?

Han Yu was about to laugh and scold him for forgetting his roots and actually refusing to admit that he was from Bailonggang. Zhang Erxiao laughed again and said: "So many units such as supply and marketing cooperatives and commercial companies have left, leaving a lot of space. Party Secretary Wang wants to imitate others in attracting investment. Ask me if I can put these places to use, such as opening a factory or something.”

Lao Ding asked curiously: "What did you say?"

Zhang Erxiao put down his chopsticks and pointed to the pier: "I told him that if he wants to invite businessmen to invest and build a factory, he must leave a good impression on them. For example, the sign on the pier welcoming tourists to Bailong Port was written more than ten years ago. It’s all rusty and looks bad. When people get off the boat, they can tell by looking at the sign that this place is not good.”

Binjiang Port has been undergoing extensive construction in recent years, but Bailong Port has done nothing.

After hearing what he said, Han Yu suddenly realized that the dock looked very dilapidated.

Seeing that Lao Ding, Lao Zhang and Han Yu both agreed, Zhang Erxiao said happily: "The wharf is just a prestige. If you want to develop, you should paint the wharf first. Take off the old sign and replace it with a new one." Don’t write about Linghai, just write about China’s Bailong Port to welcome you, and people will be impressed by it as soon as they see it.”
