Riverside police

Chapter 174 Waiting and Expecting

Han Xiangning studied very hard since she was a child and rarely read miscellaneous books.

Han Xiangmeng's personality is completely different from hers. He has been playful since he was a child and likes to read romance novels. After he started working and gained money, he even subscribed to "Zhiyin" at his own expense.

Magazines that don’t cost money are useless if you don’t read them.

Han Xiangning clearly remembered an article in a magazine that said that a person's life is spent in waiting and expectation, and time is the longest confession of love.

I only thought this sentence was philosophical and poetic before, but now I feel it is very reasonable.

When I was a kid, I was waiting for the Chinese New Year, looking forward to wearing new clothes and having delicious food.

I am a little more sensible, waiting for my mother to take a vacation, and looking forward to going to Xichuan to see my grandparents. To be precise, I like the feeling of traveling far away.

When I go to school, I wait for the exam, hoping to get good grades, get a certificate, praise from the teacher, make my parents happy, and even get a reward.

Later, I waited for graduation, hoping to be assigned to a good unit and have a good job.

Now I look forward to the time passing by so that I can accumulate enough vacation time to go to the East China Sea to find small salted fish, and then take a salted fish boat to travel to Qingdao...

The Traffic Control Center of the Port Supervision Bureau is very far away from people on the shore, and it is also very mysterious to people shipping on the river. It can be described as "only hearing its sound, but not seeing its people". They are all contacted through radio waves.

Some crew members even think that Hong Kong traffic control officers should be relaxed. They can sit at their desks, listen to the radio, give instructions when necessary, drink tea and read newspapers when they have nothing to do.

In fact, the traffic control center works at a very fast pace, with three shifts every day. Unlike other departments where you can work from eight to five. The busier it is during the holidays, it’s like a war, and you are highly nervous. Dare to be negligent for a moment.

Han Xiangning is the youngest staff member at the traffic control center. Being young means having to work more, especially working more night shifts.

Although working the night shift is tiring, she is still passionate and even proud of her job.

Because the traffic control center has very high requirements for personnel qualifications, they must have sailing experience under normal circumstances. This is not only an experience requirement, but also hopes that the command and dispatch personnel can consider the problem from the perspective of the crew.

Secondly, this job really gives me a sense of accomplishment. Although it is a bit tiring, but when I think that so many ships sailing in the jurisdiction can safely dock and so many crew members can go home safely, I feel that all the efforts are worth it. This job very meaningful.

Just and an old man who has rich sailing experience and has been a captain for more than ten years, he used the radio to direct a seagoing ship that was unfamiliar with the waterways of the Binjiang waters to adjust its course. After turning in the shift, he was about to go home to rest. When he went downstairs, he met Zhu Sister.

"Sister Zhu, why did you get off work until now?"

"You think you guys have to stay up late, but our office also has to work overtime."

Sister Zhu yawned, rubbed her eyes and said with a smile: "The superior asked for a piece of material. I called this afternoon and asked the fax to be sent over early tomorrow morning. If you say it, you should hold it in your hand. Everyone else is off work, so I can only I'll fix it."

Han Xiangning asked: "Is it done?"

"It's done and has been faxed, otherwise I wouldn't dare go home."

"Why are you going back so late? I'll drive you there."

It is not safe for a person to ride a bicycle back to the city in the middle of the night.

Sister Zhu thought for a while and smiled happily: "Okay, I'll take your ride."

"How are you coming here tomorrow morning?"

"You work the night shift, so sleep a little longer tomorrow. I'll take the bus over in the morning."

"I will go to work as usual tomorrow. I will pick you up tomorrow morning."

Sister Zhu followed her to the carport, looked at Xianyu's motorcycle, and asked curiously: "Ningning, how are your shifts arranged? Why do you work the night shift and still go to work normally the next day?"

Han Xiangning opened the suitcase, took out the helmet, turned around and said with a smile: "Brother Qian and I switched classes."

"Is there something wrong with you or with Xiaoqian's family?"

"Brother Qian's family is fine. I have to exchange it with him."

"What's your business?"

"I want to go to Qingdao..." Han Xiangning explained the reason for changing shifts. He was afraid that Sister Zhu would be worried, so he thought about it and said, "I'm just changing shifts. It won't affect my work."

The traffic control center has a director and a deputy director. Sister Zhu would not care so much, but asked with a smile: "Take a boat to find Xianyu, and then go to Qingdao with Xianyu?"

"I made an agreement with him a long time ago, and my parents also know about it."

"Xianyu, do you have time to play with you?"

"He wrote to me a few days ago, saying that his current leader knew that I was going and planned to give him a few days off and let him accompany me ashore for a few days."

Han Xiangning handed the helmet he had just taken out to Sister Zhu, leaned over to pick up the helmet placed in the basket and put it on, and couldn't help laughing and said: "I was planning to go next month, but then I thought about it and decided to go next month. "

Progress is going very quickly and we all plan to travel together.

wrong!

She and Xianyu had already been to the East China Sea once, and they went there on a scooter.

The more Sister Zhu thought about it, the more interesting it became. She held back a smile and asked, "Why do we have to wait until next month?"

Han Xiangning got on the scooter, held on to the driver and explained: "Didn't he take the self-study exam? He will come back for the exam in October. This time he will take two exams. I will go alone and come back alone. I am a little scared. I plan to do it when the time comes. Come back with him."

"It's good to come back together. By the way, has he grown taller? I didn't see him last time he came back."

"It's grown, now it's taller than me!"

"real?"

"Really, it grows. Last year I was a child, but this year I have become an adult."

"Becoming a little man?"

"Well, next time I come back, I'll ask him to come to the unit and bring him here for you to see."

Listening to her tone, Xiao Xianyu still listened to her as before, and then thinking about Xiao Xianyu's motorcycle being driven by her for more than half a year, Sister Zhu felt that most of Xu Sanye's wishes had come true, so she pretended to be curious and asked: "Ning Ning Ning, you are his sister, you should pay more attention to his personal problems."

"What personal matter?"

"Looking for someone."

"Although he has grown taller, he is only seventeen. I don't have anyone to date, so he has no one to date."

"Where's that Lin Xiaohui? Doesn't he like that Lin Xiaohui?"

"It's too late!"

"Is it yellow?" Sister Zhu asked subconsciously.

Han Xiangning couldn't help laughing and said: "Sister Zhu, don't think about how old he is. He doesn't know what falling in love is. In the past, it was just wishful thinking and a crush on others. But it turns out that his ambition is as high as the sky, he likes to stay in the East China Sea, and even wants to buy a house in the East China Sea. , look down on him at all."

"Then he must be very sad and upset."

"A bit. When I came back last time, I was like an eggplant beaten by frost. My whole body was listless."

"Please advise him. There are many good girls in the world. I'm not saying that Lin Xiaohui is not good. It's just that she's not suitable for him."

"It's not a little inappropriate, it's very inappropriate."

Sister Zhu was afraid of falling, so she hugged her and asked with a smile: "Why is it so inappropriate?"

Thinking of what the dead salted fish said in the letter, Han Xiangning felt depressed and said unhappily: "He clearly knows that people despise him, but he still doesn't give up and calls them whenever he has time.

He said that the textile system was going to hold some kind of fashion model competition in Donghai. There were not many Hong Kong-funded clothing companies in Donghai, and the relevant departments asked the factory where Lin Xiaohui worked to participate. Hong Kong people already like to hold beauty pageants, so Hong Kong bosses mobilized young female workers to sign up. "

Model contest sounds unfair!

Sister Zhu asked subconsciously: "Has Lin Xiaohui signed up?"

"Not only did I register, but I also passed the trials and might be able to participate in the finals."

"What a good girl, participating in some modeling competition."

"Who knows."

"What do you mean by salted fish?"

"What can he say? Judging from his letter, he is very supportive, saying that this is an emerging cause, and that it is organized by the Ministry of Textile Industry and is very formal. It is different from foreign beauty pageants in that no breasts are exposed. No need to show your butt."

At the same time, Lin Xiaohui, who had just finished rehearsals, was having a late-night snack at a night market not far from the factory.

The factory was not very busy these days, so Liu Xiaomei went to watch the rehearsal one night.

In the past, I only thought that Lin Xiaohui, whom I had played with since childhood, was good-looking. It was not until today that I discovered that Lin Xiaohui was a natural dresser.

During the rehearsal just now, she wore a white short-sleeved shirt and a red skirt. With the two colors of clothing, she interpreted two completely different styles.

The white is dignified, the red is charming, coupled with her calm eyes, calm steps, and cold temperament, she is really beautiful.

"Xiaohui, it would be nice if there was a camera."

“What do you need a camera for?”

"Take a photo, you looked so good just now."

"People will take pictures during the game."

Lin Xiaohui didn't want to be watched by a bunch of unscrupulous men, so she quickly paid the bill and pulled her back.

Liu Xiaomei looked back behind her and murmured: "It would be great if Xianyu was here. Xianyu is a police officer. No matter how bad people see him, they must be honest."

"He just knows how to run a boat. Even though I said I had tickets, he didn't even have time to come see me participate in the finals."

"I'll go and see it then. At worst, I'll take half a day off."

A woman should look good to those who please her.

After finally getting a chance to go on stage, but no one came to see her, Lin Xiaohui felt very uncomfortable and said quietly: "It's different."

Liu Xiaomei could understand her mood, held her arm and asked: "Did you say anything to Xianyu? He used to come to see us in Bailong Port, but now he is closer to the East China Sea than before, but he has never been here even once. "

When it comes to suitors, there are many.

But there is none like salted fish.

Lin Xiaohui took a few deep breaths and whispered: "I said the wrong thing, maybe it scared him."

"What did you say wrong?"

"He said that the Binjiang Public Security Bureau wanted to raise funds to build a house, and he would soon have a house in Binjiang. He asked me if I was happy. I said that I liked Donghai, and I didn't want to go back to Linghai, let alone Binjiang. I was also dizzy that day. , and also said that he wanted to buy a house in Donghai."

"Is it easy for the people on our ship to have a home on the shore? How can you say this!"

"So I was confused that day. I should say I was happy and make him happy."

Liu Xiaomei exclaimed: "What is coaxing? This is something to be happy about."

Lin Xiaohui was silent for a moment and patted her arm: "I know I broke his heart, but I don't regret it."

Liu Xiaomei reminded: "Salted fish is really good, Xiaohui, you have to think about this clearly."

"He is quite good, but I am different from him."

"What's different?"

"He has a job and an employer in Linghai. Their leaders treat him very well. The employer is almost like home. What do I have in Linghai, and what is there in Linghai that I should miss? I can only rely on myself, and the same goes for you. "

When it comes to Linghai, Liu Xiaomei's mood is equally complicated.

It is said to be my hometown, but I don’t even have a home in Linghai. I can only get on a boat when I go back. Sometimes the boat is not in Linghai, so I can only go to relatives’ houses...

For the boat people, there is no hometown, and they are home all over the world.

Liu Xiaomei felt that Lin Xiaohui's words made sense, and couldn't help but ask: "After participating in the model competition, what are you going to do?"

"Come back to work."

"Sister Hu said that if you can get a good ranking, you can become a star!"

"It's not as simple as you think. Besides, being a model is just like being a teenager. Now someone is looking for me to shoot a calendar. In a few years, if my figure is not as good as it is now, will they still look for me?"

Lin Xiaohui looked at the brightly lit factory area in the distance, and continued: "We grew up on a boat, but we are not humble and cannot rely on appearance. I made an agreement with Manager Liu. After participating in the finals, no matter whether we can get the ranking or not , I will always come back.”

"You've already become a model, why are you coming back to sew zippers?"

"Come back and learn pattern making. Xianyu is right. You can't be uneducated in anything you do. I also want to take the self-study exam. If I don't study anything else, I will study fashion design!"
