Riverside Police.

On September 9, Deputy Mayor Shen and two reporters from Linghai TV went back by plane.

The reporter brought a lot of videotapes and negatives, and had to rush back to edit a panoramic documentary about the Linghai soldiers fighting the floods. They had to give each soldier a copy of the flood fighting photo album and a flood fighting VCD, so they had to go back in advance to make preparations.

At noon on September 9th, the emergency rescue commando had a dinner, or to be precise, a breakup meal.

Deputy Commander Lu, Commander Jiang, leaders of the Naval Academy of Engineering, leaders of the Long Navigation Bureau, Deputy Mayor Liu of Jingzhou City, and Commander Huang of the Jingzhou Military Division all came to toast the comrades and affirmed the comrades for their efforts in fighting floods. contribute.

We have fought side by side for more than a month, and we are about to part.

Han Yu wept, Commander Peng, Political Commissar Yang, Lao Ge, Lao Wang, Hao Qiusheng, Staff Officer Dai and others all shed tears, and the officers and soldiers of the 132nd Battalion of the 2nd Regiment cried even more.

The steam ferries and tugboats of the second detachment are all local.

There are two water transportation teams. The Shuzhou, Zhangjiagang and Jiangyin fleets that transported emergency supplies before did not return due to the soaring water level of the Yangtze River. The Jingzhou Port Supervision Bureau really assisted the emergency construction of the Linghai Reserve Battalion. local ships and crews.

The local crew members were also reluctant to part like this, and hugged each other and cried with Wu Haili, Gu Pengfei, Liu Wei and others while drinking.

"Send off comrades, embark on a journey, silently tearing two tears, ears ringing camel bells! The road is long, foggy, revolutionary life often parted, the same parting of two feelings! Comrades, comrades, dear brother..."

I don't know who started it, but everyone burst into tears and sang this heart-wrenching song.

The 404th Division will go back to the station in a few days, and once they return to the station, they will send demobilized cadres and veterans. The more Mr. Jiang listens, the more uncomfortable he is. Seeing the leaders of Jingzhou City talking to the chief of the army and the leaders of the Naval Academy of Engineering on the embankment, he wiped his eyes. A tear followed.

Han Yu could neither drink nor sing, and couldn't bear the atmosphere of parting, and was about to find an excuse to escape, when Du Yuan squeezed over at some point, holding a glass and choked up, saying: "Secretary Han, I respect you!" You, I did it!"

The young man did what he said, and he could clearly see that what he drank was not only the wine but also the tears that fell into it.

Han Yu took a sip of sour plum soup and patted his arm: "Okay, work hard, and have a chance to play in Linghai."

"Secretary Han, I have received the admission notice."

"Really, which military academy?"

"The Academy of Engineering is in Xuzhou City, Jiangnan Province. Secretary Han, is Xuzhou City far from your place?"

"It's not close, and it's not far away. It should be possible to get there in a day by car."

"Then I'll see you during the winter vacation."

"Okay, you know my mobile phone number, remember to call me in advance when the time comes."

"Ah."

At the same time, Staff Officer Dai, Officer He and Li Shousong were toasting Lao Ge.

Lao Ge is a former traffic director who has passed the alcohol test. Although he is old, he can drink very well, and he can say that he does not refuse anyone.

"Ge Tiao, if you have another chance to come to Beihu, you must call us."

"That's for sure. Although I haven't retired, it's almost like retirement. I have plenty of time. I'll bring my wife here, that is, my wife who brings salted fish. It is said that the Three Gorges Reservoir area will be released soon, and I won't be able to see it when it is flooded. , we must hurry to see it before releasing the water.”

"Great, we'll pick you up at the train station then."

"Okay, we've settled for that."

Lao Ge really liked the three young men in front of him. He thought about it and smiled again: "When I mentioned the Three Gorges, I suddenly remembered something. The Three Gorges reservoir area needs to release water, and more than 100 million people living in the reservoir area need to be transferred. The superiors asked us to go to Linghai To receive and resettle two hundred Three Gorges immigrants, the city has entrusted Secretary Wang and me with the work of accepting and resettling the Three Gorges immigrants, so Secretary Wang and I are really going to come sometime later!"

Officer He subconsciously asked: "Ge Tiao, are you in charge of resettling the immigrants from the Three Gorges?"

"As I get older, I can't manage big things. I can only do these small things. I just took this opportunity to take my wife out for a walk."

"It's good to come out and take a walk, and see the great rivers and mountains of the motherland."

Dongdong returned to the table where the sandbags were filled and packed.

To be exact, it is not a table, but a circle where people sit on the floor.

The officers and soldiers of the 2nd Battalion not only regarded him as a comrade-in-arms, but also as a younger brother, chatting about their future plans.

"Dongdong, I'll go to East China Sea to work when I'm discharged from the army, and I'll go to you and the class assistant at that time, remember to help me keep an eye out for good jobs."

"I have to go to school when I go back, and I have to make up lessons. I don't think I can help you find a job. I can only find Brother Wang."

"Pudong is under great development, and jobs will definitely be found."

……

Zhang Jiangkun looked at his son from a distance, showing a gratified smile.

This trip to Beihu was not in vain. My son has really grown up and become sensible. He even helped wash clothes these few days, which was unimaginable before.

Yang Daming felt the same, and asked with a bitter face: "Master, are you really going to the East China Sea?"

"The whole family has passed, so it's impossible not to go."

"What are we going to do when you leave?"

"What are you going to do when I'm gone? You're all married and established, and you're not children. Do you want me to take care of you?"

"I mean you went to Donghai, who took us out to do private work!"

"..."

"Master, we are joking with you. We have work to do. President Wang and Wu Heng told us that they would call us when their shipyard was too busy. Sun Gong also said that COSCO was often too busy."

"That's it, there is nothing to worry about." The whole family went to Donghai to work and live, and they all became Donghai people. Zhang Jiangkun felt like he was dreaming.

Zhang Erxiao and the dozen or so cooks in the cooking class were the last batch of "seats".

As soon as he sat down, a veteran from his hometown asked, "Mr. Zhang, when shall we go back?"

"We'll go back when the Port Authority convoy arrives."

"The large flatbed trucks of the Port Authority can only pull excavators and loaders, but they can't seat people."

"Let's go back by boat."

"Going back on the barge?"

"It's not a barge, but a passenger ship. The leader of the Long-term Voyage Bureau arranged this morning. The long-haul passenger transport is going to resume operations. The passenger flights are divided. There is a passenger ship in Hanwu that needs to go back to the East China Sea to make preparations. The leader of the Long-term Voyage Bureau borrowed This opportunity arranges for us to go back on a boat with the wind.”

"Where are you sitting?"

"The Jianghan passenger ship does not go to Bailong Port, but only stops at Binjiang. Let's go to Binjiang first."

Zhang Erxiao took a sip of beer, thought about it and smiled again: "Secretary Han said that this is the best way. If you want to go back, you can go back together, so as not to have to be greeted in several groups at your hometown."

A cook asked curiously: "How does the hometown plan to welcome us?"

"Of course I greeted you with drums and gongs. Let's not talk about these, let's talk about our future plans, Angkor, what are you going to do when you go back?"

"do not know."

Wu Youming, a veteran of Bailonggang Village, put down his wine bottle and sighed: "As long as you have a high school degree, you can be arranged for a job, even if you have a job. I can't blame others for this. I can only blame me for not studying hard in school."

As Wu Youming said, the rural soldiers who came to fight the flood this time, as long as they have a high school education, the city will help with the transfer from farmers to farmers and arrange jobs.

Some will go to work at the customs, some will go to courts or procuratorates in Changzhou and Gaoru as contract policemen, and some will be assigned to the newly established water law enforcement team of the Linghai Conservancy Bureau. There are only six junior high school graduates. There is no arrangement at the moment.

Zhang Erxiao didn't want his subordinates to have nothing to do but go out to work after returning home. He mused, "Why don't you go back and open a restaurant? Bailong Port used to be lively, but now the development zone is full of people. Opening a fast food restaurant will definitely bring business."

"It's okay to open a store, but you can't open a store without capital."

"The capital is easy to handle, isn't it me! I will pay for the capital. If you earn it, you will lend it to you, and if you lose it, I will pay it."

"What's so funny about that?"

"We are comrades in arms. We should help each other. What's the embarrassment?"

As soon as Zhang Erxiao finished speaking, Mr. Wu walked over from behind and said with a smile: "Count me in, I will pay the capital with Mr. Zhang, and you guys do it boldly. First open a store in Linghai Development Zone, and if the business is good, go to Binjiang Open a branch in the development zone!"

"Mr. Wu..."

"Sit down, sit down and talk."

Mr. Wu walked around Ruan Zhonghua, and said in high spirits: "No matter what kind of business, it is done slowly. Mr. Zhang used to sell cigarettes, and I used to run sales. I believe that you can also become bigger and stronger. !"

While Zhang Erxiao and Mr. Wu were helping the pre-soldiers in the cooking class with ideas, Hao Qiusheng and Zou Xiangyu were also busy recruiting workers.

The road and bridge company will expand its business scale in the future, and it needs employees who are willing to endure hardships. After all, it is really hard to do engineering work, eat and sleep in the open.

Many soldiers from the 132nd Battalion of the 2nd Regiment had jobs before they were discharged from the army, and they hurriedly toasted the old squad leaders of the "Hong Kong Garrison".

Seeing this, Captain Peng felt anxious, holding his glass of wine and muttering, "Old Yang, these bastards have lost their minds, and there is no way to take this soldier with them. They have to be disciplined when they go back!"

Commissar Yang looked back and said with a smile: "Commander, I don't think this is a bad thing. Soldiers don't have to worry about not having a job after retiring from the army. This is equivalent to having no worries about the future and can serve wholeheartedly."

"Up to now, that's all I can think of."

……

Han Xiangmeng didn't want to be coaxed by a group of recruits to sing, so she ran back to the barge after eating, and sat in Han Gong's weather security room overlooking the embankment.

Liang Xiaojun came in with a plate of sliced ​​watermelons and asked, "What are you looking at?"

"Watch the fun."

"Crying for a while and laughing for a while, it's quite lively."

Han Xiangmeng picked up a piece of watermelon and ate a few mouthfuls, then asked with a snickering smile, "Xiaojun, did your dean call you?"

Liang Xiaojun sat down and said, "I don't have a mobile phone, even if he calls me, I can't answer it."

"The leader of our hospital called me, and it was at Uncle Ge's place, and Uncle Ge told me to pick it up."

"What do the leaders of your academy want you to do?"

"Ask me when I will go back, and I will pick me up when the time comes." Han Xiangmeng smiled, and continued: "Didn't we join the party with FireWire? Let me not forget to bring back the materials for joining the party with FireWire."

"What firewire joins the party, the procedures that should be followed still have to go, but the oath of joining the party has been held in advance, and now it is at most a probationary party member."

"A lot of people are not ready yet."

Han Xiangmeng scolded, and then smiled triumphantly: "Our dean said that after I go back, he will let me be the head nurse of the third ward. He also plans to invite my mother back and hold a flag-giving ceremony. Give me the red flag symbolizing Ward Three."

The mother-in-law used to be the head nurse in the third ward of the People's Hospital!

Liang Xiaojun came to his senses and couldn't help laughing: "The leaders of your academy really think about what kind of inheritance ceremony they are planning to do."

"Are you unhappy that I am the head nurse?"

"No, I'm glad. Hello, Comrade Sister."

"Stop making trouble. In terms of being an official, our family counts Ning Ning as the best. She is expected to be a big cadre, and San'er can't compare to her."

"San'er is also a regular subject now, and they are at the same level."

"It's different. San'er is only at the official level, and Ning Ning is a full-time official, a real-time official, and they have both been official for several years."

Han Xiangmeng admired her sister from the bottom of her heart, thought about it and then smiled: "I met a weasel the day before yesterday, and the weasel said that Liming would definitely be promoted to deputy in two years."

Liang Xiaojun asked in shock: "Is it true that I can be promoted to deputy office in two years?"

"What are you doing to lie to you? If you don't believe me, you can ask our dad. The weasel told our dad himself, and made our dad so happy that he didn't sleep well all night."

"It's normal for her to be a big cadre. She can stay by the river for a few years. If it were us, we would definitely not be able to bear it."
