Riverside Police.

Chapter 15 Making Friends

Han Yu didn't go back to the office, but went straight to the shipyard.

Xiao Jiang's family is far away, and they live and eat in the shed of the shipyard. Huang Jiang also settled here in his lifetime.

After waiting under the pergola for more than ten minutes, Xiao Jiang and Huang Jiangsheng came back. One was eating ice bricks, and the other was holding a piece of pork skewered with a straw rope, which seemed to weigh two catties.

Xiao Jiang was stunned for a moment, and came up to him and asked, "Salted fish, aren't you a policeman? Why did you go to Bailonggang to sell Luji just now?"

Huang Jiangsheng walked over to look at the reeds and scales tied to the car, and said with a smile, "I was selling reeds at the door of the ticket office, and then I came here again in a blink of an eye. Comrade Public Security, why are you the same as when I was farming in northern Xinjiang? Workers are swarming, and the work is done as quickly as the wind."

"I'm here to find you."

"What do you want us to do?"

"Not many people in Bailonggang know me. I was performing a task at the gate of the ticket office just now. I can't let others know that I am a police officer."

Xiao Jiang hurriedly ate the remaining ice bricks, without even thinking about wiping her mouth, she asked curiously, "What task are you performing?"

Han Yu shook his head: "It's a secret, you can't say it."

Huang Jiangsheng handed the meat to his cousin, sat down and said, "Don't worry, we won't talk nonsense. In fact, I thought about it a long time ago, otherwise I wouldn't have pretended not to know you at the gate of the ticket office just now."

"Thank you."

"What's there to thank for that? Have you eaten lunch or not?"

"I'll go back to the institute to eat. I have to take what I said just now seriously. Our leader asked me to tell you that if it leaks out, you will be held accountable."

"I understand this."

"Xiao Jiang, what about you?"

"I know, I'm not a person who likes to chew my tongue."

Xiao Jiang said he was a welder, but he was actually an apprentice. He was about the same age as Han Yu, and Han Yu was a police officer. He was very willing to make friends with Han Yu.

"Don't go back, eat with us, we weighed the meat today, and my cousin caught a few fish in the morning!"

"Yeah, don't go back."

When Huang Jiangsheng was doing small business in the East China Sea, he was always checked by the police and the joint defense team.

Now selling eggs and selling rice, I spend more than half of the year in Bailonggang. I feel that "a strong dragon will not overwhelm the local snake", and I need a "backer", even if the "backer" in front of me looks a bit small.

"Then I won't be polite to you."

Han Yu was not hypocritical and readily agreed.

If you insist on going back, you will not give them face. Besides, the tugboat is with them and it will take several months to repair it.

"Is that right? It's not an outsider."

Huang Jiangsheng signaled his cousin to cook quickly, took out a cigarette and said with a smile, "I've cooked all the fish and steamed the rice, and I'll cook another braised pork, it will be very soon."

"It's both fish and meat. Did you get rich and improve your food?"

"Earn some hard money, what a fortune."

"All the eggs collected last time were shipped away?"

"It's shipped away, and it's almost sold out."

"So fast, when did you go back, why don't I know."

"I didn't go back."

"How will you sell it if you don't go back?" Han Yu asked puzzled.

Huang Jiangshan flicked the ashes and explained: "I am not the only one who came back from northern Xinjiang. There are many brothers and sisters. They have "pocket account" like me and have no jobs. I collect eggs and rice here, and they Selling there, five or six hundred catties of eggs can be sold out in two or three days."

"So you are the big boss of wholesale!"

"What kind of big boss, it's not easy for everyone, so we can only help each other. In fact, they helped me raise the capital of this business I just started."

"How difficult is it?"

"Without a registered permanent residence, no job, no place to live, and not even a second meal, the Eight Immortals cross the sea to show their talents and make a living by themselves."

Huang Jiangsheng took a few puffs of cigarettes in a row, and said bitterly: "It's fine to make a living by yourself, but in the eyes of others, we are from Beijiang, not from Donghai! If you walk on the road, let people know that you are from Beijiang , the way you look in your eyes is exactly the same as that of a person released from a labor camp."

Han Yu asked in a low voice, "Look down on me?"

"Well, people know that you came back from northern Xinjiang, and there is always a kind of disparagement. But when we went there, we were very honorable, and we all went there with big red flowers. Now it's better, as if you came back from a labor reform."

"No one in Linghai looks down on you."

"There are also people who look down on me and regard me as a blind stream."

"How is it possible, besides, your business is doing pretty well now."

"It's okay now. It was difficult when I first returned to the East China Sea. In order to return to the East China Sea, I sold all the things that could be sold in the northern Xinjiang. The money was quickly spent, so I had to find a yellow croaker car and pick up passengers at the pier at night. From Shiliupu stretches all the way to Zhongshan North Road, so far away, it only earns two yuan."

Huang Jiangsheng took a deep breath, and continued: "Riding a yellow croaker bike in winter makes you sweaty, and when you take people to places, the sweat is still in their clothes, and the coldness is unbearable.

In the middle of the night, the police and the joint defense team stopped and asked where the yellow croaker car came from. The certificates were not in place, and then the car was taken away. "

Han Yu didn't expect him to suffer so much, so he couldn't help asking, "What about later?"

"I can only think of other ways, boldly set up recreational balls, as long as someone plays, you can earn 100 yuan a day and one night by setting up two recreational balls. What kind of concept is this, how much is a person's monthly salary? I have no capital, dare Also small, can only sell fruit.

Some of the brothers who came back together sold screws, sold cloth, made oil pies, and made radish cakes.Later, when there were more fruit sellers, I set up street stalls and sold underwear.At five o'clock in the morning, I set up a stall at the small vegetable market on Zhongshan Road, and the people who set up the stall together were all educated youths.

Some came back from Xijiang, some came back from Nanyun, and most of them came back from northern Xinjiang like me.Six or seven people set up stalls, at least two or three of them came back from northern Xinjiang.Sympathize with each other and help each other. "

Huang Jiangshan threw away the cigarette butt, and said with a smile: "Once when I was out of the stall alone, I met a few hooligans who wanted to get their underwear for free. Is it easy for me to make some money? They still want to take it for nothing. I couldn't be more angry. Holding a weight to fight them desperately.

The people next to him were terrified, pulled the little hooligan, and said, little brother, don't you see who he is?He is from northern Xinjiang, don't look at him setting up a stall here alone today.As long as you do it, a group of people from northern Xinjiang will come and beat you to the ground.The little hooligan was frightened and left immediately. "

Han Yu didn't expect his experience to be so rough, so he subconsciously asked, "What about later?"

Huang Jiangsheng smiled wryly and said, "I came back in [-]. At first, I thought about living first. Sooner or later, the government will let me register and arrange jobs for us.

As a result, the old cadres were rehabilitated and rehabilitated to sit in their seats, the rightists took off their hats, and the capitalists paid for their tickets. We educated youths are still the same.

Later, more and more educated youths came back from various places, and small businesses became more and more difficult to do. I thought of selling eggs and selling new rice.In fact, the main thing is to sell new rice. As long as you have the capital, as long as you can transport the new rice, you will definitely be able to sell it. "

Han Yu asked with a smile, "The new rice sells well in the East China Sea?"

"Of course, Donghai people have eaten old rice for more than ten years."

"There is no new rice in the East China Sea?"

"Yes, but the Grain Bureau has to stockpile. Every year, new rice is collected and old rice is sold to plan the supply. If you don't want to eat it, you will be hungry. If people in Donghai want to eat new rice and round-grained rice, they can only buy it on the black market."

Seeing Han Yu's incredulous expression, Huang Jiangsheng smiled again: "In Donghai, the Grain Bureau is more powerful than the Public Security Bureau, because people need to eat. Whoever lives where, how many people, how much food and oil plans a month, all belong to the Grain Bureau. The Public Security Bureau If you want to find someone, you may not be able to find it, but the Food Bureau will definitely be able to find it.”

Han Yu smiled and said, "You are the non-staff food director, helping to improve the lives of the people in the East China Sea."

"Salted fish, I'm not bragging. Not only have I improved the lives of many Donghai people, but I have also provided employment for a dozen educated youths. There are more than a dozen brothers and sisters in Donghai who rely on selling the rice and eggs I transported to support their families. "

"Do you have a family?"

"I have a family, I got married last year."

"Where does your wife work?"

"She's at Haifeng Farm, and it's not interesting to work on the farm. I'm looking for a house, and I'll let her come when I can rent a house."

"Where is Haifeng Farm?"

"In your Jiangnan Province, Yanhai, you should know that there is a labor reform farm over there under the management of Donghai, and the government arranges all the educated youths who have nowhere to go there."

"Your East China Sea also has a place in our Jiangnan!"

"Not only do you have enclaves in Jiangnan, but you also have enclaves in Hui'an."

……

Chatting and chatting, the braised pork is ready.

Xiao Jiang brought the food to the table and asked the two to wash their hands and eat.

Two meat dishes and one soup, Huang Jiang eats raw vegetables but does not drink soup.

Han Yu felt very strange: "How can I eat without soup?"

Huang Jiangsheng finished eating the meat in his mouth, and said with a smile: "Northern Xinjiang does not grow rice, so there is no rice to eat, and every meal is full of steamed buns, steamed buns, and corn crumbs.

In winter, there are no green vegetables, except for cabbage, which is radish. When it is green and yellow, I don’t even have to eat steamed buns and steamed buns, so I have to eat radish soup. "

"Tired of drinking?"

"Drink soup in the morning to welcome the sunrise, drink soup at noon to warm you up, and drink soup in the evening to bring tears to your eyes. I am really afraid of drinking soup. I will never drink soup again in my life."

It's not easy for him, and the hardships he has suffered are unimaginable, so he should help if he can.

And I don't have many friends in Bailonggang. The director is 42, the instructor is 57, and the old Zhang is 54. I have nothing to say to them except work.

Han Yu was really lonely and needed friends, so he raised his head and said, "Brother Huang, my family used to be in the shipping company, but in fact it still belongs to the shipping company now. I'll go back and ask my friends in the shipping company what ships go to the East China Sea."

"Your family runs a boat?"

"Well, my dad and my brother are both running boats on the river."

Shipping is the biggest headache...

Knowing that Han Yu actually has a relationship with the shipping company, Huang Jiangsheng said happily: "Then please, the eggs and new rice may not be loaded here. If there is a ship on the river to the East China Sea, I can transport the eggs and new rice to the riverside. "

"It's a little effort, not to mention please."

Thinking that the institute not only has to issue certificates for the boat people, but also has to issue temporary residence permits for foreigners from the few units along the river, Han Yu said:

"Brother Huang, you mainly stay at the shipyard in Linghai. The shipyard belongs to the jurisdiction of our Yanjiang Police Station. After a few days, the station will be free. You can bring your 'pocket account' and go to our station to apply for a temporary residence permit."

"Row."

"Salted fish, do I want to do it?" Xiao Jiang looked up and asked.

Han Yu smiled and said, "You're not an outsider, so don't do it."
