Riverside Police.

Chapter 863 Hobbies
Like the Linghai Maritime Affairs Office, the Changzhou Maritime Affairs Office has built an office building, which is next to the Binqihe Ship Lock Management Office, not too far from the Yingchuan Port.

Han Yu drove Han Xiangning to work in a small Qingqi in the morning, and then went to Changyu Shipyard in Linghai Development Zone to watch and refit the 825 boat. After finishing work in the afternoon, he came to pick him up on the way. The young couple came out together in the morning and went home together in the evening.

Every day we have to take the highway along the river, the couple are too familiar with this road.

I used to walk often on the small road. At that time, Han Yu was going to the Port Authority to visit his sister and brother-in-law, and Han Xiangning was going to and from Bailong Port from the urban area. It can be said that this road has left many good memories for the two of them.

After the "three encounters" of typhoons, rainstorms and sea tides in 97, the city and several districts and counties along the river invested a lot of manpower and financial resources to widen the original small roads and build several bridges in one go to make this riverside road It is spacious and flat.

Compared with the road connecting the development zone, Linghai city and Dongqi city, there are not many motor vehicles on the road along the river.Especially after dark, when you walk for several kilometers, you don't see a few cars, but you can only see people riding motorcycles and bicycles to go home from get off work.

However, no matter compared to the road connecting the development zone, Linghai City and Dongqi City, or the planned Linghai extension section of Jiangbin Expressway and the coastal expressway to be built soon, Han Yu prefers that there are not many motor vehicles. highway along the river.

Because it is by the river, parallel to the Yangtze River.

Customs Anti-smuggling Wharf, Anti-rescue Boat Brigade, Yingchuan Port Water Search and Rescue Center, Second Squadron of the Third Marine Police Brigade, Changzhou Maritime Affairs Department, Third Marine Police Brigade, Linghai Police Station of Changhang Branch, Public Security Bureau of Linghai Development Zone, Linghai Reserve Camp and Bailong Port are along this road.

After Han Yu had dinner at "Veterans Fast Food", he picked up Han Xiangning on the way, and drove the couple back home in a small Qingqi.

Han Xiangning put his arms around his waist habitually, leaned on his shoulders, and asked curiously, "How is the business of veteran fast food?"

"It's pretty good. It can sell five or six hundred lunch boxes a day."

"There are so many factories in Linghai Development Zone, and only one sells fast food. It's normal that the business is good."

"There are more than one, there are two more at the ferry."

"The two from Lingda Auto Ferry can't be counted. Those two are specialized in the road car business."

Han Xiangning really missed his work and life at the Linghai Port Supervisory Office, so he thought about it and asked, "How is the construction of the Hailuo Cement Plant?"

Han Yu just went to see it at noon yesterday, and said with a smile: "Building a cement factory is different from building a commercial house. Machinery and equipment are all manufactured in the machinery factory, and there are not many civil engineering projects. There is nothing to see now. From a distance, there is only one Great circle of walls."

"What about the dedicated pier?"

"No work started, maybe the procedures haven't been approved yet."

"How about Ling Harbor?"

"It's very busy. There are two bulk ships docking at the pier today for loading and unloading. Mr. Qian said that there is another container ship coming in at night."

"Have you seen Mr. Qian?" Han Xiangning asked with a smile.

Why don't you go home after get off work, and who you are with at night, you must explain clearly.

Han Yu hurriedly said: "We came out of Qian Sankai's computer room and met Mr. Qian who had just got off work. He saw us and insisted on treating us to dinner, so we went to Veteran Fast Food together."

Han Xiangning asked, "How many people are there?"

"Mr. Qian, Mr. Wang, Uncle Liu, Uncle Ding, Xiao Yu, Xiao Gong, Qian San, and me, a total of eight people, including beer, cost 120 yuan, and Mr. Qian paid the bill."

"How did you think of going to Qian San's?"

"Go and watch Xiaoyu go online."

Han Yu talked about what he had seen and heard this evening with great envy. After thinking about it, he said with emotion: "Eldest brother and sister Zhang Lan didn't go to Shenzheng to catch up with the fashion, and bought a small bully learning machine for Yuanyuan. Xiaoyu is better, one step is in place, directly To buy a computer, tomorrow I will invite people from the telecommunications bureau to install a 'cat' at his house, and after installing it, he can chat with friends from all over the world and know the world's affairs while sitting at home."

"Xiaoyu can type and access the Internet?" Han Xiangning also found it incredible.

"It's not just Xiaoyuhui, Xiao Gong and Guo Weitao know it, they didn't learn it, they learned it by playing games in Qian San's computer room."

"How much did Xiaoyu spend on the computer?"

"Eight thousand two."

"What brand is it, so cheap."

"There is no brand name. Xiao Gong bought the hardware in Binjiang Electronic City to help him assemble it. The functions are similar to those of Lenovo 1+1."

"Multimedia?"

"Well, you can put the CD on the computer and watch the movie."

"Xiao Gong can do it. He can even assemble computers."

"He's interested in computers, otherwise he wouldn't have paid so much for a computer newspaper."

Computer Han Xiangning hadn't read much, and even if he did, he couldn't understand it, but he was deeply impressed by the computer newspaper.

Because among so many newspapers and magazines on the newsstand, the computer newspaper is definitely the one with the most layout, the most beautiful printing, and the thickest touch, so that each issue of the newspaper is packed in a big plastic bag.

Thinking that Xiao Gong's boss is not young anymore, Han Xiangning said in a low voice: "It's good to have hobbies, but hobbies must be combined with your own reality. Can he afford a computer? He will be 24 soon, and he doesn't even have a house in Binjiang. We will get married in the future." Let him live in the dormitory with him?"

"Yeah, he can't be compared with Xiaoyu."

"Talk it to him later, let him save some money, and don't spend money indiscriminately."

"Row."

When talking about hobbies, Han Yu suddenly remembered something: "I didn't know before, but I found out that Jiang Shengqi also has hobbies."

Han Xiangning asked curiously, "What does he like?"

"I like collecting stamps. He used to go to the post office to buy stamps whenever he had time in the army. He has almost all the stamps that have been issued in these years. He doesn't buy one or two, but buys the whole page! Some stamps have [-] stamps. Some stamps come in one sheet of [-], and when stamps are in short supply, he even buys several sheets, and he has lived frugally in the army for more than ten years, turning all his wages into stamps!"

"Isn't philately collecting stamps on envelopes? Why do you still spend money on them?"

"I used to be like you, thinking that philately is collecting all kinds of stamps, which is similar to collecting all kinds of cigarette cases when I was a child. It wasn't until I was a colleague with Jiang Shengqi that I realized that philately is not as simple as collecting stamps for people's households everywhere, and it costs money. And it costs a lot of money.”

"His family's conditions are average, and he's not very rich, so why buy so many stamps?"

"You don't understand." Han Yu smiled and explained: "Stamp collecting is not just a hobby, but also an investment. Stamps have denominations, which are similar to money. In his words, stamps are soft gold. It can appreciate in value, can be used for emergencies, can be used as money, and can be used for retirement!"

"Can postage stamps increase in value?"

"Yes, rare ones will appreciate in value."

Han Yu paused, and said with a bit of envy: "You can buy as much as you want and sell as much as you want if it hasn't appreciated in value. Anyway, stamps are similar to cash. As long as you need to send letters, they can be circulated in the postal market. Investment Stamps are more reliable than investing in the stock market, I have no money, if I have money, I will collect stamps with him."

Han Xiangning asked puzzledly: "His previous salary was used to collect stamps, where did the money to buy the house come from?"

"When he bought the house, he planned to sell some stamps, but after thinking about it, he borrowed [-] yuan from relatives and friends in his hometown, and borrowed tens of thousands of yuan from the bank."

"So he has tens of thousands of stamps on hand?"

"There must be. He has worked in the army for so many years, and all his salary in the army was spent on collecting stamps."

Han Xiangning was silent for a moment, then asked abruptly, "San'er, do you feel wronged?"

"Why are you wronged?" Han Yu was asked inexplicably.

"Everyone has interests and hobbies, and they can do what they want. You bought a house because of me, and you have to pay off the debt with me. Life is tight, and you can't have any hobbies, let alone play like Xiaoyu. computer."

"Where are you going? I don't have any hobbies in the first place, and besides, I'm not living a tight life."

"You really think so?"

"I don't envy them for what they did to lie to you."

Han Yu didn't feel wronged, but Han Xiangning felt that he had been wronged all these years, and hugged him with great apology and said, "San'er, when we repay the loan to buy the house, you can buy whatever you want , travel wherever you want!"

"Okay, then we will go together and take Hanhan with me."

……

The two looked forward to a bright future with no debt and a light life, and they got home before they knew it.

Xu Haoran's motorcycle was parked downstairs, and the two went upstairs to have a look. Xu Haoran was indeed sitting in the living room watching TV and chatting with Han Gong.

"Brother Haoran, what about sister-in-law and Junjun, why are you alone?"

"They went to the movies with your mother."

It was only then that Han Yu noticed that his mother-in-law and daughter were not at home. He put down his helmet and gloves, took off the military coat he wore when he was riding a small Qingqi, sat down and asked, "Dad, did you drink tonight?"

Han Gong hugged his teacup and said with a smile: "Drink some, Ge Tiao and your teacher's wife are also here at night, you just left before you came back."

"What's the happy event today?" Han Xiangning couldn't help asking.

"Ge Tiao's 'Cross-Que' today, Haoran and Xiaoqin want to take him to 'Cross-Que', but they have to go to work during the day, and they can't cook birthday noodles at noon, so your mother and I will do it in the name of you and San'er." "Kua Que" with Ge Tiao, birthday noodles at noon, and some wine together in the evening."

"Crossing Que" is a unique custom in Binjiang, which is equivalent to celebrating a birthday, but it has a special meaning.

The elders think that birthdays such as 49, 69, and 79 are a hurdle, and they cannot be celebrated in their own homes.In the past, there were many children, and it was usually the daughters and sons-in-law who brought these birthday old people back to their own homes to celebrate. To cross the threshold, it is equivalent to crossing this hurdle, and they can live a long and healthy life.

In short, although this is a "leisure birthday" for the elders, it is as important as a "full birthday" at 50, 60 or 70 years old.

Thinking of this, Han Yu asked with a bitter face: "I called home in the evening, why didn't you tell me earlier, I'll be back for dinner sooner."
