Riverside Police.

Chapter 1 Too Young
April 1988, 8, sunny.

Although early autumn, the weather is still hot.

The trees in the courtyard of the Linghai County Public Security Bureau were sunburned by the scorching sun, and Zhizhi kept chattering on the branches, which made Li Weiguo, the instructor of the Yanjiang Police Station who was already bored, a little more anxious.

Recruits go to the company, and veterans celebrate the New Year.

It was a happy thing to come to the bureau to pick up a new comrade, but when I rushed over excitedly, I found that the one to be picked up was a child.

There is a shortage of people in the institute, but what is lacking is people who can do things.

Li Weiguo had never encountered such an absurd thing, and he said dumbfoundingly: "Director Wang, it's not that I disobeyed orders, but mainly because this Han Yu is too young, and he looks even smaller."

Director Wang of the political office handed over a cigarette, sat down and said, "16 years old, not too young, my nephew replaced my sister-in-law to work in the agricultural machinery factory at the age of 15."

"We are a police station, not an agricultural machinery factory. What we do is to manage people, and what we want is deterrence. He looks like a junior high school student. How can there be deterrence when he goes out?"

Li Weiguo lit a cigarette, and said in a puffy voice: "He is at most 1.5 meters five, and his weight is estimated to be less than [-] catties. Even the smallest police uniform would be baggy on him. Isn't it a joke to ask him to be a police officer?"

The kid outside is good everywhere, but he looks too young to be a policeman.

Director Wang also had a headache, but no matter how much he had a headache, he had to arrange the work. He said unhurriedly: "Lao Li, Han Yu's family is a boatman. His ancestors have run boats for generations. During the battle of crossing the river, he even requisitioned his family's boat and recruited his grandfather." For the support of the former boatman.

Later, a shipping cooperative was established in the county, and his father was the branch secretary of the second brigade of the cooperative.Later, the cooperative was revoked and a shipping company was established. His father was the captain of the sailing team of the shipping company. "

It turns out that the child's family is a boatman...

Linghai and even the entire Binjiang area have always had a tradition of discrimination against boat people, especially those living on boats.

To this day, there are still many people who are full and have nothing to do, making fun of their own children, saying that you were picked up from the boat, and will send you back if you don’t obey.

The policy is not very good for the boat people, although when the shipping company was established, all the boat people were transferred to urban household registration.

But many boat people still live on the boats, relying on water transportation or fishing for a living, living a life of no city, no village, no work, no farm.

Li Weiguo worked as an instructor at the Yanjiang Police Station for two months. He dealt with the boat people every day. He knew how difficult it was for the boat people.

But the police officers are the ones who work, so what's the use of taking those who can't work back home.

He was silent for a moment, then raised his head and said, "Director Wang, what we are talking about now is his work arrangement, not the military review."

"I'm just introducing his situation. He is very competitive and studies very hard. He took the high school entrance examination in 6, and his high school entrance examination score was No. [-] in the county. If my son's academic performance is so good, I will wake up laughing when I fall asleep."

"Study is good, study is good, the key is that he is too young, what can he do when he is brought back."

"There are many things he can do. He grew up on a boat and is more familiar with things on the river than you, the instructor of the Yanjiang Police Station. Besides, he graduated from the Binjiang Shipping School and majored in water transportation management."

"Water transportation management, the water transportation on the river is not under our control, and we can't control it."

"It's better than landlubbers."

Director Wang took off his glasses and rubbed his sore nose.

Li Weiguo took two puffs of cigarettes in a row, and asked puzzledly: "Binjiang Shipping School belongs to the Transportation Department. It belongs to the transportation system. It should be assigned to the Transportation Bureau. Why did it come to us?"

Director Wang also found it strange and put on his glasses: "In terms of job assignments for college graduates, we only have the obligation to accept and have no right to object."

"Didn't you ask the Personnel Bureau?"

"Ask the Personnel Bureau, are you kidding me? I'm just the director of the political office, not the director of the county party committee."

"Director Wang, this matter is difficult to handle. You know Xu Sanye's temper. Even if I bring him back, he will send him back to you."

"He dares!"

Director Wang snorted coldly, and then changed the topic: "Old Li, you are an old comrade with a high level of ideological awareness. The Bureau arranged for you to form a team with Xu Sanye, just because he was worried that he would make another mistake. Today, Bureau Yang asked me to notify you to come pick him up." People, instead of notifying him to come, just hope that you will do his ideological work after you go back.”

If Xu Sanye's ideological work was so easy to do, he would not be called Xu Sanye, nor would he be assigned to be the director of the newly established Yanjiang Police Station.

Li Weiguo didn't think he could do the work of the director, so he had a frowning face: "Director Wang, our police station along the river is a newly established station. Although there are not many boat people and fishermen in the area under our jurisdiction, they are all floating on the water. Even if you can’t give us people, you can’t give us a child.”

In the past few days, everything has skyrocketed except wages, and the masses are panicking.

Many people went to banks and credit unions to withdraw money, and then went to department stores, commercial companies and various stores to snap up.

Everyone was worried that the money would be worth less, and bought whatever they saw, snapping up the goods on the shelves and counters, regardless of whether the purchases were useful or not.

The leaders of the bureau divided the districts according to the requirements of their superiors, and they all sat outside to maintain order and prevent people from making trouble.

Director Wang, as a member of the bureau's party committee, also has an area to be responsible for, and he will go to the Agricultural Bank of China to prevent a run on the bank soon, and he doesn't want to hear the old comrades complain about it.

"Old Li, I don't have time to talk to you. You must take Han Yu away. He came to report on July 28nd. Today is August [-]th. You can't stop working. Xu Sanye's ideological work is also important to you. Do it, and do it well!"

"A political mission again?"

"That's understandable."

"He is a technical secondary school student and educated, why not keep him in the bureau."

If you keep people in the bureau, what does it look like to let people see a kid running around in the bureau?

But Director Wang would not say these words, so he got up and patted him on the arm: "Old Li, in fact, the party committee of the bureau has another consideration in arranging Han Yu to your office, and it is hoped that you will carry forward the tradition of passing on and helping, and help you do a good job." Banding."

"Let me take care of the children... I have never taken care of my own children!"

"That's your family business. What I'm telling you is business. Take care of him for three years. When you retire and he grows up, the bureau will make arrangements for it."

……

Han Yu was sitting on the bench at the entrance of the political office, and could clearly hear the conversation between Director Wang and the old instructor, but he didn't listen to a word because he was muddled.

He is not worried about work. As a technical secondary school student assigned uniformly by the state, he must have a job. It's just a matter of luck.

I don't worry that the money will be worthless, because I don't have a few dollars.

Not to mention the end of the eight-year Iran-Iraq war, or the end of the 13-year Angola civil war.

The reason why I was confused was because I didn't know whether I had dreamed or experienced everything that happened in front of me. I felt that this scene was so familiar.

This feeling has been there before, but not as strong as today.

At that time, I asked the classmates in the class, and most of the classmates also had it.

Some students even joked whether it was like in "Flying Saucer Exploration" and "Mystery", when they encountered a UFO, they had special functions.

Later, I asked the teacher, and the teacher said that this is not some foresight, but a psychological phenomenon called "hippocampus effect".It's just that the brain is wrongly preconceived, and it regards the things in front of it as things that have happened in memory.

However, at this moment, Han Yu doubted what the teacher said.

Because today's illusion is not only very familiar and clear, but also has a series of associations!

If he went to the Yanjiang police station with the old instructor in the office later, he would probably be sent back by the director named Xu Sanye because of his young age, short stature, and thin body.

The director surnamed Xu is very strong, he dare not listen to the words of the bureau leader, and he will make a bad head.

Yanjiang Police Station does not want it, and other units will follow suit.

The leader of the bureau has no choice but to arrange himself, a newcomer, to do odd jobs at the Golden Shield Hotel.

It’s okay if you just go to the Golden Shield Hotel to pick vegetables and wash dishes. Anyway, in recent years, there are very few work assignments that match, otherwise there will be no “I am a brick of the party. , don't be pessimistic in the toilet" jingle.

But if he worked as a handyman in the Golden Shield Hotel for a few years, and had experience picking vegetables and washing dishes, he would be looked down upon by everyone.In the future, if you become a police officer in a film, people will doubt whether you have that ability, and you may never even think about turning over in this life.

It was impossible to stay in the bureau, and it was even more impossible to reassign the personnel bureau.

Han Yu secretly made up his mind that when he got to the Yanjiang Police Station, he must play it by ear and never be sent back by the director surnamed Xu.
