Riverside Police.

Chapter 21 Get Ready
After talking about Xu Sanye's gossip, I started working.

It is too hot in the engine room, take the disassembled parts to the pergola for maintenance.

Boss Wu's shipyard not only builds ships, but also repairs them. There are several rectangular and flat "baskets" made of iron sheets.

Han Yu borrowed two, poured some diesel oil into them, cleaned the oil pipes and parts, rust or other stains that could not be removed, and carefully ground them with sandpaper or even a file...

Repairing the machine is actually not difficult, as long as you understand the principle and the function of each component, disassemble it for maintenance one by one, replace it if it is seriously damaged or worn, and then reassemble it.

As long as you grasp the eight levels of three leaks, cylinder pressure, timing, three filters, diesel atomization, through holes and small holes, and running-in, these two old 6135s can run.

Listening to the radio, blowing on the electric fan, sitting under the pergola, it is neither hot nor very tired, just a little dirty.

Being extremely busy, Xiao Jiang, who had been soldering for a long time, walked over rubbing her eyes.

"Salted fish, when are you going to hang the tank?"

"the day after tomorrow."

"The day after tomorrow is Sunday, do you not rest on Sunday?"

The main engine tank is a real overhaul, Han Yu can't handle it alone, he looked up and smiled: "My brother-in-law is resting the day after tomorrow, I will ask him to come and help."

Xiao Jiang walked over and turned on the faucet of the thermos, put a bowl of tea, took a big sip, sat down and asked, "Your brother-in-law can also repair machines."

"He's the head of the machine repair team at Binjiang Port Wharf, and he's better than me at this." Han Yu picked up the waste cotton yarn to wipe his hands, and took a sip of water from the tea mug.

"How many hours does it take to come from Binjiang?"

"I called him at noon, and he said to come by the port authority's traffic boat. It's fast by water, an hour at most."

"Binjiang Port Authority has a ship coming to Bailong Port?"

"Of course, many of the workers on the dock live in Binjiang."

Xiao Jiang didn't know much about the affairs on the river, and she wasn't very interested in the pier, so when she was curious about the police station arresting people along the river today, Han Yu could only pick what she could tell.

While chatting, a man in his 40s came to look for Boss Wu on a bicycle.

Han Yu thought that he came to ask Boss Wu to help intercede again, but ended up using the heart of a villain to judge the belly of a gentleman.

He is a self-employed ship operator, and a customer who builds ships with Boss Wu. The boat that Xiao Jiang has been welding for a long time belongs to him.

After spending so much money, people have to look at the progress and quality.

When Boss Wu accompanied others to visit the river beach, Xiao Jiang suddenly said: "This Boss Zhang sees the wind and it rains. He obviously has a 35-ton cement boat, which is still a new boat. I don't know where I heard that the country may Instead of letting cement boats run on the river, they borrowed money to build iron boats."

He does not mean that.

A familiar "illusion" suddenly appeared in Han Yu's mind, and a series of associations arose:

The transportation department suddenly refused to allow cement boats to carry out water transportation. My father was stunned, my mother burst into tears, and my brother and sister-in-law were in a hurry...

The family bought two boats a few years ago, one cost [-] including the machine, and the other was bought with a loan and cost [-].

It is not only a tool for making a living, but also a home, and even life!
But the policy changes too fast, and if you say you won't let them run, you won't let them run.

Before repaying the borrowed money, I had to sell the two cement paddle boats that I bought with a lot of money at a very low price.Then I asked the leaders of the shipping company to help me get a bank loan to buy a [-]-ton iron ship.

The debts are so high that four people are squeezed into a boat, and it takes seven or eight years of hard work to repay the loan...

"Salted fish, salted fish, what are you thinking about?"

"Oh, I didn't think about anything."

Han Yu regained his composure and asked in a low voice, "Is the business of the shipyard doing well this year? How many ships have been picked up during this period?"

Xiao Jiang put down the tea bowl and said with a smile: "This year's business is not bad. Including the one under construction, we have already connected six. If Manager Wu can buy steel, he can connect a few more."

"The boss who came to build the ship used to use cement ships?"

"Almost, many ship owners are changing ships now."

Xiao Jiang thought he didn't understand, and explained: "In the past, when the ship was built, people from the Transportation Bureau could come to see it and get a certificate. Now it doesn't work. Now, I have to go to some ship inspection place for inspection. I heard that the newly built cement ship has been inspected. There is no proof."

Old cement ships can continue to run, but new cement ships cannot be certified, which shows that it is a matter of time before cement ships are banned from running and transporting.

Sell ​​the cement boat now, and you can still make some money.When the country prohibits cement ships from engaging in water transportation, it will be worthless at that time.

Han Yujue realized that his parents, elder brother and sister-in-law should have made preparations earlier, and after a moment of silence, he asked nonchalantly, "Where's your cousin?"

"I went to the gate to collect the grain, I should come here immediately."

Xiao Jiang stood up and looked at the small gate in the north, worried that Boss Wu thought he was lazy, so he put on a welding mask and ran to the river beach to continue working.

Huang Jiangsheng didn't collect new rice and eggs from door to door, but set up a purchase point at the gate just like collecting waste products.

All the old men and women nearby knew him, and if they wanted to exchange the eggs laid by their chickens for some money, they put them in baskets on the gate and sold them to him.

As for the new rice, the nearby people transported it by boat, and some small grain vendors helped to collect it in the distant places.

Small food vendors are mostly locals.

There is no cost to do this business, as long as you negotiate a good price with the people who have surplus grain, weigh the rice and ship it to the gate, sell it to Huang Jiangsheng to get the money, and then give the grain money to the people who sell the grain, and they earn some hard money .

There is a row of old houses at the bottom of the slope to the west of the gate. Huang Jiangsheng rented them from the village with very little money. He bought an electric rice milling machine. Sell ​​it to the villagers to raise pigs.

He does not buckle the scale, has a good attitude, gives a fair price, and gives cash!

The people nearby like to sell him the surplus grain after paying the public grain, and they don't want to sell it to the grain station as bargaining grain, or to be precise, they don't want to see the bad faces of those people at the grain station.

Because of this, the No. [-] Grain Station reported him more than once after knowing about it, but the People's Daily said it was not speculation, and it seemed to be nothing in the end.

Running a boat is so hard, so dangerous, and doesn't make much money. Han Yu was thinking that his parents, brother and sister-in-law didn't have to run a boat. They could do business like Huang Jiangsheng. Huang Jiangsheng came back with a stack of newspapers humming a tune.

Boss Wu sent the boat boss who came to see the progress of the project, looked at Huang Jiangsheng with a smile and asked, "Boss Huang, you are reading books and newspapers again."

"I got it from the village office, but they didn't look at it, so I took it back to pass the time."

"What's the news today?"

"Big news."

"What big news?"

Huang Jiangsheng handed over the newspaper and said gloatingly, "Your province is implementing funeral reforms. Linghai has been designated as a cremation county. People who die in the future will be cremated. The news says that the cremation rate will reach [-]%!"

Linghai County has turned into a cremation county, which sounds weird, and Han Yu can't help but laugh.

When a person dies, he must be buried in the earth for peace, and when he thinks about cremation, he is afraid of people.

Boss Wu's thinking is more traditional, he took the newspaper hastily, frowned and said: "Cremation was also promoted in the past, but only the people in the city were burned. If the peasants died, don't send them to be burned."

"It will be the same from now on. If they die, they will be taken away and burned."

"My old man just made birthday cakes."

"It's really hard to do ideological work for the elderly. When it is officially implemented, I don't know how many elderly people can't sleep."

"It is right for the cadres to be burned, why should the masses be burned..."

Boss Wu didn't quite understand the funeral reform policy promulgated by the province. He thought it was a big deal, so he went back to the office with a newspaper in his hand to study it carefully.

Donghai had practiced cremation earlier, and Huang Jiangsheng felt that this was nothing.

Seeing that Boss Wu was so frightened, he suddenly thought of a song and sang it out loud.

"Young friends, come to meet today, walk into the crematorium, all turned into ashes. You pile up, I pile up, no one knows anyone, flies and mosquitoes fly around the ashes..."

"Young Friends Come to Meet", which is cheerful and full of the spirit of reform and opening up, was actually changed to this by him, and Han Yu almost laughed out loud.

Huang Jiangsheng can not only sing, but also dance. Seeing the little policeman smiling like that, he stretched his arms, like a singer performing, singing more and more vigorously.

"Young friends, who does the cemetery belong to? It belongs to me, it belongs to you, it belongs to our new generation in the 80s..."

The lyrics were changed in a mess, the singing was okay, and the typhoon was not bad, Han Yu laughed out of tears.

"Brother Huang, is this bel canto or folk singing?"

"I don't understand, I also sang nonsense."

Huang Jiangsheng stretched out his arms, gave a very exaggerated curtain call, sat down and asked with a smile: "You caught a lot of scalpers this morning, and you asked those who bought tickets for the scalpers to surrender?"

"That's it." Han Yu moved to the side, not wanting to get the oil on him.

"The village office is very busy at the moment. There are two cadres' wives and children who went to buy tickets for the scalpers, and they are in a hurry."

"What's the use of being anxious, since you've done it, you should hurry up and surrender."

"They dare not."

"Self-surrender can win leniency, why not?"

"Your director is too powerful. They didn't know it at first. They only found out after asking someone. They were afraid that they would never come back."

Xu Sanye is really famous...

Han Yu secretly sighed, thought about it and asked with a smile: "Do you sympathize with them?"

Huang Jiangsheng took out a cigarette and said disdainfully, "I am also a victim, how could I sympathize with them."

"How did you become a victim too?"

"I can go back to East China Sea and queue up early. If I can't buy today's ticket, I can buy tomorrow's ticket to go back. But every time I come back from East China Sea, I buy black market tickets."

"It's a pity that we can only attack the scalpers on the Bailong Port side, not the ones on the East China Sea."

"It's pretty good to be able to kill the scalpers in Bailonggang. I went to buy vegetables at noon. I heard that tickets are easier to buy than before."

Huang Jiangsheng directly believed that he had provided the clues to crack down on the ticket dealers, because he had told the little policeman about it last time.

Since we are friends, we must help people to the end.

He looked behind him, and then leaned into Han Yu's ear: "Salted fish, the ticket dealers have already been caught, when are you going to catch those who resell foreign exchange certificates?"
