Riverside Police.

Chapter 174 Waiting and Expecting
Han Xiangning studied hard since she was a child, and rarely read miscellaneous books.

Han Xiangmeng's personality is completely different from hers. She has been playful since she was a child, and likes to read romance novels. After working and earning money, she even subscribes to "Friends" at her own expense.

Magazines that don't cost money, don't read them for nothing.

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

Before, I only felt that this sentence was philosophical and poetic, but now I feel that this sentence is very reasonable.

When I was young, I waited for the New Year, looking forward to wearing new clothes and having delicious food.

A little sensible, waiting for my mother to take a vacation, looking forward to going to Xichuan to see my grandparents, to be exact, the feeling of like traveling far away.

When I was in school, I waited for the exam, looking forward to getting a good grade in the exam, getting a certificate, praise from the teacher, happy parents and even rewards.

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

Now I hope that the time will pass quickly, so that I can accumulate enough vacation time, go to the East China Sea to find small salted fish, and then take the salted fish boat to travel to Qi Island...

The traffic control center of the Hong Kong Supervision Bureau is very far away from the people on the shore, and it is also very mysterious to the people shipping on the river. It can be described as "only hear the voice, but not see the person", and they are all connected by radio waves.

Some crew members even think that the traffic control personnel of the port supervision and administration should be very relaxed. They sit at their desks and listen to the radio.

In fact, the working pace of the traffic management center is very fast, with three shifts every day, unlike other departments that can "eight in the morning and five in the evening", the busier it is during the holidays, it is really like a war, and the spirit is highly nervous. Dare to have a moment of negligence.

Han Xiangning is the youngest staff member in the traffic control center. Being young means doing more, especially working night shifts.

Even though the night shift was exhausting, she was passionate about the job, even proud of it.

Because the traffic management center has very high requirements for personnel qualifications, under normal circumstances, it is necessary to have sailing experience. This is not only a requirement for experience, but also hopes that the command and dispatch personnel can consider issues from the perspective of the crew.

Secondly, this job is really fulfilling. Although it is tiring, but thinking that so many ships sailing in the jurisdiction can safely dock at the port, and so many crew members can go home safely, I feel that all the efforts are worthwhile. This job very meaningful.

Just now, with a veteran who has rich sailing experience and has been a captain for more than ten years, he adjusted the course of a sea ship unfamiliar with the waters of the Binjiang waters through the radio, and was about to go home to rest after handing over the shift. big sister.

"Sister Zhu, why are you leaving get off work so late?"

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

Sister Zhu yawned, rubbed her eyes and said with a smile: "The superior wants a copy of the materials. I called in the afternoon and faxed them in the morning tomorrow. If I say it, I have to hold it in my hand. Everyone else is off work, so we can only do it." I'll fix it."

Han Xiangning asked, "Is it finished?"

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

"How can you go back so late, I'll drive you."

In the middle of the night, it is not safe for a person to ride a bicycle back to the city.

Sister Zhu thought for a while, then smiled happily: "Okay, take your ride."

"How are you coming tomorrow morning?"

"You are on the night shift, sleep more tomorrow, I will take the bus in the morning."

"I'm going to work normally tomorrow. I'll pick you up tomorrow morning."

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

Han Xiangning opened the suitcase, took out the helmet, turned around and said with a smile, "I'm changing shifts with Brother Qian."

"Is it your business, or the little Qian family's business?"

"Brother Qian's house is fine, I'm the one who will exchange it with him."

"What's your business?"

"I want to go to Qi Island to play..." 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, and it won't affect my work."

The traffic management center has a director and a deputy director, and Sister Zhu doesn't care about so much, but asks with a smile: "Take a boat to find Xianyu, and then go to Qi Island with Xianyu?"

"I made an agreement with him, and my parents also know."

"Does Xianyu 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 that was in the car basket and put it on, and couldn't help but said, "I was planning to go next month, but after thinking about it, I decided to go next month. "

The progress is very fast, and they all plan to travel together.

wrong!

She and Xianyu have already been to the East China Sea once, and they still drove a small motorcycle.

The more Sister Zhu thought about it, the more interesting she became, and she asked with a suppressed smile, "Why do you have to wait until next month?"

Han Xiangning stepped on the scooter, supported the faucet and explained, "Didn't he take the self-study exam? He will come back for the exam in October. This time, I will take two exams. I will go alone and come back alone. I am a little scared. I plan to Come back with him."

"It's good to come back together. By the way, whether he has grown up or not. I didn't see it when I came back last time."

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

"Really?"

"Really, if you say it grows, it will grow. Last year I was a child, but this year I will become an adult."

"Become a little man?"

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

Hearing that Xiao Xianyu still listened to her as before, and thinking that Xiao Xianyu had driven her a small motorcycle for more than half a year, Sister Zhu felt that Xu Sanye's wish had been fulfilled, so she pretended to be curious and asked: "Ning Ning, you are his sister, you should pay more attention to his personal problems."

"What personal question?"

"Find someone."

"Although he has grown taller, he is only seventeen. I don't even have a date. What is he talking about?"

"What about Lin Xiaohui, doesn't he like that Lin Xiaohui?"

"Early yellow!"

"Yellow?" Sister Zhu asked subconsciously.

Han Xiangning couldn't help laughing and said, "Sister Zhu, don't even think about how old he is. He doesn't know what it means to be in love. It was just wishful thinking in the past, just a crush on someone. As a result, his heart is higher than the sky, he likes to stay in Donghai, and even wants to buy a house in Donghai , don't look down on him at all."

"Then he must be very sad."

"It's a little bit. When I came back last time, it looked like a frosted eggplant. I was listless."

"You persuade him, there are many good girls in the world. I'm not saying that Lin Xiaohui is bad, but it's just not suitable for him."

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

Afraid of falling, Big Sister Zhu put her arms around her and asked with a smile, "Why is it so inappropriate?"

Thinking of what Si Xianyu said in the letter, Han Xiangning felt depressed, and said unhappily: "He knows that people look down on him, but he still doesn't give up, and calls them whenever he has time.

He said that the textile system is going to hold a fashion model competition in Donghai. There are not many Hong Kong-funded clothing companies in Donghai, and the relevant department asked the factory where Lin Xiaohui works to participate.Hong Kong people like to hold beauty pageants, and the bosses in Hong Kong mobilize young female workers to sign up. "

A model contest, it's not serious at first glance!
Sister Zhu subconsciously asked, "Has Lin Xiaohui signed up?"

"Not only have you signed up, but you've passed the trials, so you might be able to participate in the finals."

"A good girl, what kind of modeling contest is she participating in?"

"Who knows."

"What about salted fish?"

"What can he say? Judging from his letter, he is still very supportive, saying that this is a new business, and that it is organized by the Ministry of Textile Industry. It is very formal. It is different from foreign beauty pageants. No breasts are exposed. No need to show your ass."

……

At the same time, Lin Xiaohui, who had just finished her rehearsal, was eating supper at a night market not far from the factory.

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

In the past, I only thought that Lin Xiaohui, who had grown up with her, was good-looking, but it was only today that she realized that Lin Xiaohui was a natural clothes hanger.

During the rehearsal just now, she was wearing a white short-sleeved dress and a red skirt. With the two colors of clothing set off, she interpreted two completely different styles.

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

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

"What do you need a camera for?"

"Take a picture, you walked really well just now."

"People will take pictures during the game."

Lin Xiaohui didn't want to be surrounded by a group of dubious men, so she quickly paid the bill, and then walked back with her.

Liu Xiaomei looked behind her, and muttered: "It would be great if Xianyu was here, Xianyu is the police, no matter how bad people see him, they must be honest."

"He knows how to run a boat. I said he has a ticket, but he doesn't have time to watch me participate in the final."

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

Women are those who please themselves.

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

Liu Xiaomei could understand her feelings, and took her arm and asked: "Did you say something to Xianyu, he used to visit us in Bailong Port, but now he is closer to Donghai than before, but he never came here once. "

In terms of suitors, there are many.

But nothing like salted fish.

Lin Xiaohui took a few deep breaths and said in a low voice, "I said something wrong, and it may have frightened him."

"What did you say wrong?"

"He said that the Binjiang Public Security Bureau was going to raise funds to build a house, and he would soon have a house in Binjiang, and asked me if Gao was happy. I said that I like Donghai, and I don't want to go back to Linghai, let alone go to Binjiang. I also lost my head that day , and said 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 dizzy that day, I should say I am happy, and I should make him happy."

Liu Xiaomei exclaimed: "What is coaxing, this is something to be happy about."

Lin Xiaohui was silent for a moment, then 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 matter clearly."

"He's all right, but I'm not like him."

"What's the difference?"

"He has a job and a unit in Linghai. Their leaders treat him very well, and the unit is similar to home. What do I have in Linghai, and what is there in Linghai that I miss? I can only rely on myself, and you are the same. "

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

It is said to be my hometown, but I don’t even have a home in Linghai, so 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 there is a home from all over the world.

Liu Xiaomei felt that Lin Xiaohui's words made sense, so she couldn't help asking: "After participating in the modeling 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 similar to having a youth meal. Now someone asks me to take a picture of a wall calendar. After a few years, my body will not be 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 lowly, and we can't rely on our looks. I made an agreement with Manager Liu. After participating in the finals, no matter whether we can get the ranking , I will come back."

"I've already become a model, and you still come back to sew zippers?"

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