Riverside Police.

Chapter 25 "Homecoming"

My sister and brother-in-law are gone, and everything is back to normal.

The only difference from before is that there is no need to cook when returning to the office after work, and the cook Lao Qian will come to the shipyard to help when he is not busy.

Old Qian is 61 years old, thin, clean, always has a smile on his face, and speaks in a soft voice.

There is also a pen pinned to the chest pocket, giving the impression of being very polite, like a teacher, not like a cook.

He is a man without a home, and he has been living in the No. [-] Factory Supply and Marketing Cooperative before.He can go to a nursing home after retirement, but he doesn't want to.

If Director Ding of the Fourth Factory Police Station hadn't recommended him to cook at the Yanjiang Police Station, he would have already gone to help someone look at the fish pond.

Han Yu really couldn't figure out how a person like him could be a bachelor. Seeing Boss Wu coming over with a crystal cup in his hand, he curiously asked about Lao Qian.

As long as they are from the fourth factory, no one has ever been to a supply and marketing cooperative.

Boss Wu knew Lao Qian better, looked up at the Yanjiang police station in the distance, and explained: "Although Qian Dafu served as a soldier and participated in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, his family was a landlord before liberation, and his status was not good. marry the girl to him."

"Why didn't you find a wife later, and now you don't pay attention to what is involved."

"Maybe I'm used to being alone. Besides, although he used to have a bad composition, he was arranged to cook in a supply and marketing cooperative after he returned from serving as a soldier. He didn't suffer much. He likes to be clean, and he is a bit particular. women."

"Does he have any relatives?"

"I have two nephews, surnamed Tao. I forgot their names, but I only know they are Tao Da and Tao Er. Single people seem to be contagious. Tao Da and Tao Er have not found a concubine (not married to a wife), and one raises cattle and plows the fields. , one is watching the cage net, and they will both go to nursing homes in the future.”

While gossiping, a burst of electric current came from the walkie-talkie I brought in the morning.

Immediately afterwards, I heard Xu Sanye yelling on the walkie-talkie: "Salty fish, salty fish, answer quickly when you hear it."

Han Yu quickly dried his hands, picked up the walkie-talkie and pressed the call button: "Got it, Xu Suo please tell me."

"Hurry up and wash your hands and come back and change your clothes. I'm too busy here. Help me go to the bureau to do something."

"Okay, I'll be there soon."

……

Packed up the tools, locked the cabin door, and hurried to the office.

Xu Sanye and the instructor were about to go out, and when they saw him, they pointed to a pile of materials in the office.

"Salted fish, send these to the security department, let them do it quickly, just say that I will get the verdict early tomorrow morning."

It turned out to be a procedure for public security punishment.

Han Yu came to his senses and was about to guarantee the delivery. Li Weiguo asked with a smile: "Xiao Han, have you chosen the major for the self-study exam? It’s time to sign up for you.”

"Selected."

"What major did you choose?"

"Turbine technology."

"How to choose turbine technology, I thought you chose law."

"Can't choose turbine technology?"

Li Weiguo didn't know what to say, so Xu Sanye smiled and said, "Learning technology is good. We need legal talents as well as technical talents."

Li Weiguo thought that this was not a mistake, and reminded: "Xu Suo, Xiao Han is now a policeman, so he must not understand the law."

Xu Sanye lit a cigarette, and said confidently: "It depends on what kind of talents we need now. In the past, there were few people who knew law, but now everyone studies law. They either take self-study exams or take some correspondence courses. They study in droves. What's the meaning."

"But you can't understand."

"Salted fish doesn't understand, you understand. You can teach after you finish your work, but the main thing is to learn skills. A person cannot be without skills."

Han Yu agrees with the director's words, no matter what you learn, you should combine it with your own situation.

The family conditions are not good, so they must find ways to make money.

What can be done in the future with a junior college diploma in law, learning marine technology is different. After getting a junior college diploma, I will be almost eighteen years old, and I will have two or three years to serve on the ship.

At that time, you can take the promotion exam, and when you get the certificate of competency for the post related to the inland ship, you can find a better job and go to the big ship to make a lot of money!
Xu Sanye didn't know this. He supported Xianyu to learn technology, which had a lot to do with his previous education.

College students of workers, peasants and soldiers have a weak foundation, and most of them study liberal arts.

Those who have no technology and do not know how to do research, even if they are not influenced by politics, will still be looked down upon by those who pass the college entrance examination and go to university.

He raised his arm and looked at his watch, then said, "By the way, go to the logistics department and ask Zhang Lan where the envelopes in the bureau are printed."

Before Han Yu could speak, Li Weiguo asked inexplicably, "What do you want to do with this? You need an envelope and you can go to the bureau to get it."

"We have to refund more than 4000 passengers the ticket money that was slaughtered by scalpers, and we have to send letters to more than 4000 passengers. If we ask the bureau for so many envelopes at once, they will definitely talk nonsense.

Besides, we sent the money back to them, and we also sent the letter to them, so why use the envelopes in the bureau! "

"We were originally the Yanjiang Police Station of the Linghai County Public Security Bureau."

"The Linghai County Public Security Bureau is a big deal. I realize that no one is as high-minded. I have to leave my name when I do good deeds. I must use the envelope from the Yanjiang Police Station to send letters!"

He was always thinking differently from others, Li Weiguo was completely convinced, and Han Yu couldn't help laughing.

I went upstairs to rinse, put on clean clothes, went down to get the materials for public security punishment, put them in my bag, got on my bicycle and headed straight to the county seat.

Twenty miles, not too far.

He rushed to the bureau, sent the materials to the security unit, and was ridiculed again as no surprise.

There were only two policemen in the political office, and they were busy writing materials, so they didn't have time to tease him, the youngest policeman ever in this bureau. It was just that when he learned that Han Yu was going to apply for engineering technology, his eyes were a little weird.

Walking into the office of the logistics unit, Zhang Lan and an older sister were busy pasting invoices.

As soon as Zhang Lan saw him, she immediately put down the invoice in her hand, and asked with a smirk why she wasn't wearing a uniform.

Which pot does not open which pot.

Don't mention the embarrassment, Han Yu quickly got down to business.

Zhang Lan figured out the ins and outs, and was about to speak, the eldest sister smiled and said: "There are a lot of envelopes in the warehouse, and you have to print them yourself. Are you Xu Suo planning to become independent and separate from the bureau?"

"Sister Jiang, don't get me wrong, our Xu Institute mainly considers that there are too many letters to send..."

"I'm just joking with you, how dare I misunderstand you Xu Suo."

The eldest sister didn't want to get burned, she turned around and said with a smile: "Zhang Lan, you have the phone number of the printing factory, copy the number down and give it to Xianyu."

"Okay, right now."

Zhang Lan still admired Xu Sanye very much. She opened the drawer and took out a small notebook, rummaged through to find a number, found a piece of white paper to write it down, and handed it to Han Yu.

"Thank you, Miss Zhang, then I'll go back first."

"Let's go after dinner."

"No, I have something else to do."

"I'm sorry, kid."

……

Han Yu did not return to Bailong Port, but went straight to the "Water Village" in the north of the city.

It is said to be a village, but it is actually three rows of dormitory buildings built by the Binqi River.

In order to solve the problems of old-age boat people and their children going to school, the shipping company requested a piece of land under the coordination of the county and built these three rows of houses.

But the company has more than 1000 households of boat people, and these three rows of houses are not enough.

At that time, the Han family didn't have an urgent need for houses on the shore, so they didn't argue with them. Now it's too late to regret.

From the side of the road, the environment is very good.

Walking to the river is a different scene. Many boat people who have not been allocated dormitories still live on the boats. Old boats are moored by the river, with piles of domestic garbage, weeds overgrown, sewage flowing, and mosquitoes flying around.

Han Yu was looking for where the boats of his childhood friends were parked, when a familiar middle-aged woman got out of the cabin, looked at him and shouted happily: "Isn't this San'er!"

"Aunt Zhang, you didn't go to run the boat?"

"A few days after you came back, aren't you in a technical secondary school? How did you remember coming back?"

"I graduated."

"So fast, when did you graduate?"

"This year."

These are "old neighbors". When I was admitted to a technical secondary school, my parents came back to treat visitors, set up more than [-] tables by the river, and paid for a projection team to show a movie.

It is no exaggeration to say that it was the pride of all the boat people in the shipping company at that time.

Aunt Zhang's voice was loud, and after a while, the riverside was full of people, even her fourth daughter and Lin Xiaohui, who had played with her when she was a child, got out of the cabin and stood in the corner laughing.

Coming back here is really like going home, Han Yu can't be called by anyone.

"I've already worked, and I've been assigned to the Public Security Bureau!"

"I've been in class for almost a month."

"Which department of the Public Security Bureau?" an old man asked excitedly.

Han Yu smiled and said, "At the Yanjiang police station."

A young man squeezed in and asked with a smile, "San'er, are you talking about the police station next to the Bailonggang ship lock?"

"That's the one."

"Why didn't you say it earlier, I passed your police station when I came back last night."

"It's not too late to know now, and I will remember to call out when I pass by us in the future. I am in the office every day."

Aunt Liu asked enviously, "You're already a police officer, why don't you wear the uniform of a police officer?"

Seeing so many old neighbors, Han Yu really felt like returning home, so she glanced at her daughter and explained, "It's inconvenient to come out in uniform."

Aunt Liu looked behind her, couldn't help laughing and said, "Xiaohui, what are you doing hiding behind, come say hello to San'er."

"Oh."

Lin Xiaohui was a little embarrassed, hesitated and squeezed in, exchanged glances with Han Yu, then quickly lowered her head and pinched the corner of her clothes.

She has grown taller and grown up, with a big braid, and she looks better than her two older sisters before they got married.

The boat people don't have as many rules as those on the shore, and most of the boat people's family conditions are not very good. Han Yu clearly remembers playing with her who was also wearing crotch pants or even bare bottom when she was a child.

Later, I didn't see each other for several years in elementary school, and then I became classmates at the same school in junior high school.

It's just that she went to school late, she was only in the first grade when he was in the third grade, and she was not in the same grade.

At that time, even the boys and girls in the class didn't talk, even if they were at the same table, they couldn't talk too much, otherwise they would be laughed at by other students, so the two of them kept pretending that they didn't know each other.

Because of the similar age, it was difficult for the children on the boat to find a partner. When they were young, their parents joked with Aunt Liu more than once, saying that when the two children grew up, Aunt Liu would marry Xiaohui to him.

Thinking of what happened when she was a child, Han Yu was also very embarrassed, and asked calmly, "Aunt Liu, has Xiaohui graduated yet?"
