Riverside Police.

Chapter 102
New Year's Day is called "Gregorian Year" in Linghai.

Those enterprises and institutions in the county are on New Year's Day holiday, but in Bailonggang, there are mainly villagers and tourists.

But in any case, it is 1989 from today, and the new year should have a new look.

Xu Sanye sent the two fish to the waiting room of Bailong Harbor, and went to the store along the way to buy a piece of red paper. He let the old money with low education level but good calligraphy write "Happy New Year's Day" on it. Post it at the gate of the police station.

"Old Qian, your handwriting is really good. My family's Spring Festival couplets (couplets) for the Chinese New Year are entrusted to you."

"Okay, let me think about what to write when the time comes."

"Don't worry about it, Bailonggang has been sold by someone now. You have time to go around and see what they wrote." Xu Sanye laughed and raised his arm to look at his watch.

Old Qian thought he was worried about the two fish, so he rolled up his sleeves and looked at his watch: "It's time to check the ticket. There are acquaintances on board, and the two children should be fine."

Xu Sanye turned around and glanced at the bridge to the north, and said nonchalantly, "If Liang Xiaoyu goes out alone, I'm definitely worried, but he's going out with Xianyu to meet the world. There's nothing to worry about if Xianyu is around. If he can’t come back after going to the East China Sea, then his technical secondary school will be in vain.”

Little Xianyu graduated from technical secondary school and is educated. Even if he gets lost, he can ask someone for directions.

Old Qian also felt that there was nothing to worry about, so he couldn't help laughing and said, "He said he was going to buy books. I guess he was looking for the girl from the shipping company."

"No need to guess, he must have gone to find that little girl."

"Today is the Gregorian calendar year, and he is already seventeen. It's not too early to talk about it."

"If it's a serious discussion, I think it's better to talk to the lady of the Hong Kong Supervision Bureau. Both of them graduated from technical secondary schools, went to the same school, studied the same major, and shared a common language."

Xu Sanye took out a cigarette, popped one out and handed it to Lao Qian, and said with some regret: "It's a pity that he is two years younger than him, and he is taller than him. Even if he had this idea, he probably wouldn't be willing. "

Old Qian took the cigarette and took out a match: "I heard that the lady from the shipping company is not short, and she looks good."

"It's different. After all, he and the shipping company's wife grew up together. They are childhood sweethearts, the same age, and similar family conditions."

"If you say that, you're right with the shipping company's lady."

"But I have gone to the East China Sea, and some of those young people who went to the East China Sea are willing to come back."

"Xu Suo, don't you like the lady from the shipping company?"

"It's not that I'm not optimistic. The main reason is that no matter how good the relationship is, it is difficult to withstand the test of time and space. I have seen many similar situations. How many will succeed in the end?"

Just as he was talking, Li Weiguo rode his bicycle to the gate.

"Xu Suo, is Wu Renguang here?"

"I told him it was 08:30 yesterday, and it's only ten past eight now."

"Where are the two fish?"

"We should be on board now."

Li Weiguo was also not worried about Xianyu and Liang Xiaoyu, so he didn't ask again, but smiled, "Will Jue Yu come today?"

Xu Sanye handed over the cigarette, and said unwillingly: "He didn't leave last night. We didn't live in the barge we built by selling iron and pot, but we let him live first. I'm writing materials on the boat now, saying that all the people are here. Call him on the walkie-talkie."

Yu Xiucai is very concerned about water security work, and attaches great importance to the next crackdown by the Yanjiang Police Station.

Li Weiguo thought it was a bit funny, and reminded: "Xu Suo, it's our bureau's action to crack down on the gangsters who bully the city at the Inland River Wharf. Is it appropriate for him to get involved?"

"If you don't let him meddle now, how can you let him take the lead in attacking the water bandits and boat tyrants on the river in the future?"

Xu Sanye asked back, flicking his cigarette ash and said: "The local ruffians in Linghai, as long as we make up our minds, we can catch them all. The water bandits and boat tyrants on the river are different from the ruffians under our noses. They are here today. Commit crimes, and go there tomorrow to commit crimes. It is not easy to find them, and it is even difficult to obtain evidence."

Water bandits and boat tyrants roam around to commit crimes, and they roam on the river, so it is very difficult to crack down on.

Li Weiguo asked in a low voice: "What are your plans for the future?"

"We must secure the inside first to fight against the outside world. After the joint criminal investigation team has wiped out all the hooligans under our noses, I will ask Yu Xiucai to take the lead in calling the heads of the public security bureaus of several districts and counties along the river to hold a meeting in the name of the Shuishang Public Security Bureau. Big move."

Xu Sanye paused, and pointed to the direction of the Yangtze River: "You can even ask Yu Xiucai to come forward to communicate and coordinate with the colleagues on the other side of the river. Even if he can't help us a lot, he can help us collect clues. In short, I want to fight the water bandits on the river. Ships, we can’t do it alone.”

It has long been known that he recruited Yu Xiucai, not just wanting Yu Xiucai to help write materials and be on duty.

Li Weiguo couldn't help asking: "So his radish badge is still useful?"

"If he relies on himself alone, his radish is useless. His water branch is a leather bag company. But as long as we push, his leather bag company can become worthy of the name, at least in the eyes of others. Public Security Bureau."

"It seems that we need to further improve our relationship with him."

"There's no need to deliberately flatter, it's fine as it is now."

Xu Sanye took a puff of cigarette, thought about it and laughed again: "Almost forgot, the internal departments of the Municipal Bureau have changed their names again. It became the Water Security Detachment, and at the same time added the sign of the Water Public Security Bureau.”

Li Weiguo pondered: "Our bureau plans to upgrade the criminal investigation team to a criminal investigation brigade, and the traffic police team to a traffic police brigade. Did you learn from the city bureau?"

"It should be. It was changed from top to bottom. Several departments of the provincial department became the general team, and several departments of the city bureau became the detachment. At the county level, it must be the brigade."

"Then shall we call Yu Xiucai Yu Ju or Yu Zhi from now on?"

"Call Yu Ju, Yu Ju is so loud, hahaha."

"Row."

……

Han Yu didn't know that the institute was going to hold a very important meeting today, let alone that the institute would have a big move going forward.

Introduce Liang Xiaoyu to the captain, political commissar, chief engineer, Shao Lei and other police officers, and then take Liang Xiaoyu to visit the large passenger ship.

I went up and down, inside and out twice, and finally went to watch the video under Shao Lei's arrangement, without buying a ticket!

It was the first time for him to go out for a long time, and it was also the first time for him to watch a video. To Liang Xiaoyu, this was the legendary travel, and he was elated, not to mention excited.

At [-]:[-] p.m., the broadcast announced that the passenger ship was about to arrive at Shiliupu Wharf, reminding passengers to prepare to disembark.

Han Yu hurriedly carried the basket of eggs he bought at Huang Jiangsheng's yesterday afternoon, and dragged Liang Xiaoyu out of the video room.

Shao Lei just walked to the door, and as soon as he saw him, he teased: "Xianyu, why don't you let Xiaoyu come with me, lest he affect your relationship."

"Brother Shao, Xiaohui is my neighbor. I regard her as my younger sister. I am here to deliver eggs to her!"

"You still think of me as an older brother. Brother Shao calls you so sweetly, why don't you bring me eggs?"

"Brother Shao..."

"Talk about your partner, just talk about your partner. There is nothing embarrassing about it. It's not ashamed to talk about your partner."

"I just came to see her."

"Okay, okay, take a look when you go ashore later, hahaha."

People who are not as big as Douzi actually learn how others fall in love, just talk about it, and bring an audience.

Shao Lei had never seen such a funny thing. The passenger ship was about to berth at the pier, so he couldn't care less about teasing, so he patted Liang Xiaoyu, who was grinning silly, and adjusted his police uniform to go on duty.

The eggs weighed ten catties, and the bamboo basket weighed fifteen catties.

Liang Xiaoyu was afraid that he would not be able to lift it, so he tugged on his military coat: "Dried salted fish, let me help you."

"No, I'll take it myself."

Passengers began to disembark, and there were many people. Han Yu glanced back and reminded: "Follow closely, and don't get lost. If you get lost while walking, go to the police on the pier."

"I know, I won't get lost."

It was the first time to go out for a long distance, and seeing the dazzling high-rise buildings on the shore, Liang Xiaoyu was both excited and a little nervous and afraid.

Following the flow of people out of the pier exit, Han Yu was looking around when he suddenly heard someone shouting happily: "Salted fish, salted fish, I'm here!"

She really came, she was dressed more beautifully than before, wearing a very fashionable and foreign style red woolen coat, she was waving vigorously on tiptoe.

Han Yu felt hot and shouted, "I see, Xiaohui, what time did you come and how long did you wait for me?"

After going out for so long, the two sisters never asked how they were doing in Donghai.

Mom and Dad are running the boat outside, so they don't bother to ask.

In the past few months, Xianyu has only written and called her, and today she even came all the way to see her. Lin Xiaohui was so happy and excited, she said with tears in her eyes, "It didn't take long, I just arrived too."

Afraid of losing Liang Xiaoyu, Han Yusheng pulled Liang Xiaoyu up to meet her, looked at her with a smile and asked, "How did you get here?"

"Take the bus, Xianyu, he is..."

"Liang Xiaoyu from our police station told you in a letter last time."

"Remember, are you hungry? I'll take you to dinner."

"Not hungry, we ate on the boat."

"what is this?"

"Eggs, I brought them for you. It's not easy for me to come out once, and it's not easy for you to come out. If you don't bring something, how can you explain to your aunt when you go back?"

He is really thinking about himself...

Lin Xiaohui felt sour, and felt that Xianyu was her only family member in this world.

She took a few deep breaths, calmed down, and led him and Liang Xiaoyu to the stands by the river, choked up and said, "Thank you."

"It's just a basket of eggs, what can I thank you for?" Han Yu handed the eggs to Liang Xiaoyu, who was staring at the tall buildings, and also looked at Lin Xiaohui.

"What are you looking at?" Lin Xiaohui looked a little embarrassed.

Han Yu regained his composure, and quickly asked, "Xiaohui, you wear so little, are you cold?"

"not cold."

"If it's cold, I'll wear the coat for you, and I'll wear it thicker inside."

"No, I'm really not cold."

Lin Xiaohui felt that he and Liang Xiaoyu were well dressed, but it looked funny and fun. Looking around, she saw that no one was paying attention, so she took out a tape measure from her pocket: "But you still have to take off your coat."

Han Yu subconsciously asked, "What are you doing?"

"I'll measure it for you."

"What to measure, what do I have to measure?"

"I've learned how to cut, take it off quickly, let me measure the size, and help you make a new dress for the New Year."

"Help me do it?"

"If I don't help you, I'll bring a ruler to do it."

Han Yu was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear, and quickly took off his coat.

Liang Xiaoyu was so envious that he didn't dare to stare at Xianyugan's girlfriend, took his coat and turned around hastily.

While measuring him, Lin Xiaohui smiled and said, "Why don't you grow taller?"

Han Yu smelled the faint fragrance of her hair, and said with a bitter face: "I don't know, actually I eat a lot, and the food in our camp is not bad, we eat fish every day and drink fish soup every day."

"Don't worry, it will grow sooner or later. Your father is so tall, your mother is not short, and you will definitely not be short in the future."

"hope so."

"What is hope? You must grow tall. If you don't grow tall, how will you find a partner in the future?"

Lin Xiaohui giggled, took out a small notebook and wrote down the measurements, and urged him to put on his coat quickly, in case he would catch a cold.Then I took the two of them to the Bund and Nanjing Road.

Tired of shopping, I found a small private restaurant for dinner.

Naturally, Han Yu would not let her pay, so he rushed to give the money, and sat down to chat while eating.

Thinking that he would go to the pier to take a boat back to Linghai later, Lin Xiaohui was really reluctant, and said quietly: "Salted fish, I don't plan to go back for the New Year."

Han Yu froze for a moment, and asked in surprise, "Your aunt won't let you go back?"

"This is not."

"Then why don't you go back?"

Lin Xiaohui looked at Liang Xiaoyu who was sitting next to him, and said in a low voice: "My parents may not go back to celebrate the New Year, I can only go to my sister's house when I go back, it's not interesting."

"But you're alone here, too."

"Salted fish, I...I don't want to do it at my aunt's."

"where do you want to go!"

"There are several tailor shops near my aunt's house. There are several sisters who are tailors like me, but they don't plan to do it. We have discussed it and are going to work in the factory."

Han Yu was really worried, staring at her closely and asked, "What factory?"

"Garment factory, the salary of going to work in the factory is higher than that of my aunt's, and I don't work hard at my aunt's."

"How high is the salary?"

"We went to see it a few days ago. They are paid on a piece basis, and the more you work, the more you get. The most can get 460 yuan a month, and the less can get more than 200."

It stands to reason that people go to high places and water flows to low places, so she should support her job-hopping.

But Han Yu was still worried after thinking about it, and asked, frowning, "Does your aunt know?"

"I'm going to work until the 27th of the twelfth lunar month and then tell her that her shop is the busiest now, so I can't just say quit."

"Your aunt would not be pleased if she knew."

"Salted fish, come out."

"what……"

"Come out!"

Han Yu realized that it was inconvenient for her to say something in front of Liang Xiaoyu, so he asked Liang Xiaoyu to eat first, and followed her out of the small restaurant.

Lin Xiaohui pulled him under a sycamore tree, and said with a bitter face: "You have never been to my aunt's house, I don't know how small her house is."

"What's wrong with Xiao, you don't live in her house, you live in her shop."

"The store is her home, and her home is the store!"

"Your aunt keeps the shop at home..."

"I'm not ashamed to tell you in the letter that her store is open at home. Not only I am there, but my uncle is also there, and there are two children. There is nothing during the day, and I just draw the curtain when I sleep at night. I don't care about what they do inside. It’s inconvenient to hear, it’s inconvenient to do anything, it’s even more inconvenient than being on a boat when we were young!”

"Did you sleep well at night?"

"Don't mention it, I don't know how I got through these few months."

Anyone who has been on a boat, especially a small boat, can understand how she feels.

Han Yu nodded slightly: "Since you are so tired during the day and can't sleep well at night, then change your job. In fact, you don't have to stay in the East China Sea. Linghai can also make money, but there are not so many high-rise buildings. cars and people."

Lin Xiaohui said without hesitation: "I don't want to go back, and besides, I have already found a job. The factory is really good. The boss is from Hong Kong. It belongs to a Hong Kong-funded enterprise. Food and housing are included. There is a cafeteria and a dormitory for female workers."

"Okay, when you go to work, and when I have time, I'll go and have a look."

"I knew you'd support me."

"So what if I don't support you, anyway, you won't go back with me."

"I want to make money, a lot of money."

"and then."

"Flowers, buy new clothes, buy a motorcycle, and live in a big house."

"I have a motorcycle!"

"I know, you said it in your letter, but it's yours, and I have to earn my own money to buy it myself."

After dinner, we will go to Shiliupu Wharf to take a boat back to Bailong Port.

Having to say goodbye again, Han Yu felt very uncomfortable.

Lin Xiaohui was alone outside, very lonely, as uncomfortable as parting, she whispered: "Xianyu, don't forget to write to me when you go back, I only have you as a friend, and no one writes to me except you."

"I will definitely write the letter, but Chinese New Year is coming soon. If you go to work in the factory, you will not receive it even if I send it."

"I'll call you before I go to work at the factory."

"Okay, by the way, do you have enough money to spend? I brought a hundred. If you don't have enough money, you take it first."

"I have money, I have enough to spend."

"It's okay, you still have to help me make new clothes, even if you don't need wages, you have to spend money to buy cloth."

"No need, I made the new clothes for you for the New Year. I'll call you when it's ready, and you can tell Brother Shao again. I'll send it to Shiliupu Wharf, and ask him to help deliver it to you."

The more she said that, the more uncomfortable Han Yu felt, and asked sadly, "Xiaohui, do you really plan to go back to Linghai in the future?"

Lin Xiaohui looked up at the neon-flashing Nanjing Road, and said in a positive tone: "I won't go back if I don't look like a human being. Besides, we are people on the boat. We didn't stay in Linghai for a few days when we were young. We are in Linghai today." No house, no decent home, what to do when you go back.”

She said in the letter more than once that she wanted to look like a human being before going back. She always thought she was joking, but she didn't expect her to be so strong.

Looking at her resolute expression looking forward to a bright future, Han Yu suddenly felt that he was a bit self-motivated, and he didn't really want to work as a seaman on a foreign ship to earn a lot of money.

Lin Xiaohui didn't know that he was distracted, and felt a little embarrassed by his stare, and muttered: "Don't be stupid, am I so good-looking?"

"Have."

"Really?"

"Really, it's beautiful."

"It will make me happy, it's cold outside, let's go, let's go in and eat."

"Oh."

Han Yu regained his composure, and suddenly realized that he had lost his composure just now, and his cheeks burned with embarrassment.

Lin Xiaohui could feel that he really liked her, and she felt warm and happy in her heart.I secretly think that it feels good to be liked and cared about by someone, even if the one who likes and cares about me is just a young child.
