Riverside Police.

Chapter 8

Xu Sanye had something to do, so he rode away in a cool manner on the upper three rounds.

The instructor was going to attend a family planning meeting, so he also rode his bicycle away.

Han Yu tidied up the dormitory, laid out the mats, and set up the mosquito net. He wanted to take the keys, ride the bicycle borrowed by Xu Sanye downstairs, and go to Bailonggang to buy pots, bowls, ladles, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, and then some food. The next step is to start your own business.

Seeing the police uniform and big-brimmed hat that Xu Sanye helped borrow, and thinking that he is now a police officer, he couldn't help but take off his Zhenliang shirt and pants, put on a police uniform and a big-brimmed hat.

There are beds, desks, cabinets, chairs, and TV sets in the dormitory, but there is no mirror.Just walk out of the dormitory, stand in the corridor, and use the window glass as a mirror.

Just when he thought it was okay to wear this outfit, Lao Zhang came up holding the tea mug.

"Xiao Han, try on the police uniform."

"Uncle Zhang, is there something wrong?"

"It's okay, I came here to take a look. Although this uniform is a bit old, it fits me well."

Han Yu was a little embarrassed to be bumped into by an old comrade.

Zhang Mingdong looked up and down, and couldn't help laughing: "It fits really well. There is a photo studio opposite the Bailonggang bus station. Aren't you going to go shopping? Just wear a police uniform and take a photo by the way. The first day Going to work, wearing a police uniform for the first time, taking a photo as a souvenir, it will be very meaningful to look at it in the future.”

Han Yu took off his big-brimmed hat to look at the police badge, then turned his head to look at the epaulettes, then looked at the police uniform on Comrade Lao Zhang, touched his chest and asked, "Uncle Zhang, my son has no pockets, but you have pockets. How is it different?"

"I wear long sleeves, you wear short sleeves, of course it's different."

"Oh."

"Hurry up and take pictures, you still have to buy vegetables and cook."

"Thank you Uncle Zhang, then I'll go there first."

"Do you know the way?"

"Yes, I have been to Bailong Port before."

Wearing a police uniform for the first time is worth taking pictures.

Han Yu was kind, took a cloth bag, went downstairs, got on his bicycle and headed straight to Bailonggang.

There are three large units along the river, one is the Bailong Port affiliated to the Binjiang Port Authority, the other is the Bailong Port Bus Station affiliated to the Binjiang Automobile Company, and the other is the Bailong Port Ship Lock Management Office affiliated to the Provincial Department of Communications.

There are also quite a few small units, with more than [-] warehouses, several hotels, and shops of commercial companies.

In the ticket office of the passenger terminal and the square in front of the bus station, people came and went, shoulder to shoulder and noisy.

People who disembark, buy tickets, pick up people, wait for the boat, do small businesses, ride tricycles, and resell boat tickets, all kinds of bustling people make Bailong Port, which is only a village at the administrative level, very lively. .

Han Yu went to the photo studio to spend two yuan to take pictures, and was in no hurry to go shopping, so he rode his bicycle to the river embankment not far from the ship lock.

Looking at the river from a distance, the ships on the river are like flat boats, rising and falling with the waves.Listening attentively, a steamship blew its whistle and sailed slowly towards Binjiang.

Looking towards the ship lock, the water waves on the river are vast, and the reeds on the river beach are boundless. Dozens of inland riverboats of [-] to [-] tons are waiting for orders from the ship lock management personnel at the anchorage outside the ship lock.

Looking back in the direction of the Yanjiang police station, Han Yu really understood why Xu Sanye was so eager to repair the boat.

The Yanjiang police station is to maintain law and order in the Linghai section of the northern branch of the Yangtze River. As a policeman in the Yanjiang police station, they cannot always stay by the Bailong River. Only when they enter the Yangtze River can they truly maintain law and order on the river.

Thinking of this, I hurried to buy something and went back to the institute to cook.

It's the first time I use a rice cooker, I don't know how much water to put in, and I am embarrassed to go downstairs to ask Lao Zhang, but I cook the rice into rice porridge.

After drinking the pickles brought from my sister's house in two gulps, I changed into work clothes and went straight to the shipyard to find Boss Wu.

Boss Wu can only build paddle boats of less than 012 tons and weld the hull, which is very simple.I have never repaired a tugboat like "Linghai Tuo [-]", and I think this is an opportunity to learn from others.

He called a few workers, hired two paddle boats moored by the river, and drove them to the Yanjiang police station. He untied the tugboat's cables, tied them to the two paddle boats, and towed them northward for more than 200 meters until they arrived at the shipyard. side of the river beach.

Then use the wire rope on the shore to tie the tugboat.

Use a hoist to pull the boat on the shore, and hang the oar boat on the top of the river, and use the most stupid way to get the tugboat onto the river bank.

Xu Sanye left two packs of cigarettes before he left in the morning, and Han Yu borrowed flowers to present Buddha, and they all scattered out.

After thanking the helpers, he was about to go back to the workshop to get the tools. Boss Wu wiped his sweat and asked with a smile, "Xiao Han, how are you going to fix it?"

"Fix the main engine first, but clean the engine room first. Manager Wu, is there any oily sewage around here?"

"Yes, I'll get someone to call for you."

"If I knew someone would collect it, I should have waited for them to pump out the oily water before taking the tug ashore."

"It doesn't matter. They have an oil pump and the oil pipe is very long. It should be within reach."

"Then trouble you."

"It's not troublesome. I just introduced Xiao Jiang. I asked him to call the person who collected the oily sewage. If you need help later, you can call him."

"Thank you, Manager Wu."

It's different when someone helps. By the time the tools are taken to the river beach where the boat is being repaired, the boat to collect the oil and sewage has already arrived.

People seem to be able to extract the oily water by taking it back, but they don't know what can be extracted.

But letting them pump out the oily water in the cabin is better than directly discharging it into the Bailong River, and they have pumps, which can be pumped quickly and save trouble.

On the river, let people recycle, and they will give you money.

Now that he is not on the river, and the oily sewage in the cabin is not his own, Han Yu is too embarrassed to talk about money with others, so he just sits in the shade and watches them smoke.

Just as he was thinking about when he could finish smoking, a man in his twenties came over.

He had long hair, wore plaid short-sleeves on his upper body, and a pair of fashionable flared pants on his lower body, and he just sat beside Han Yu casually.

"Are you a police officer?"

"Excuse me, are you..."

Hua Gezi took out a cigarette and handed it a cigarette. He said with a smile, "My surname is Huang, and my name is Huang Jiangsheng. Xiao Jiang, who helped you find someone to collect oil and sewage, is my cousin."

"Hello, hello, I don't smoke." Han Yu politely declined his offer, and asked with a smile, "You are not from Linghai by the accent."

"I'm from Donghai."

"Are you here to play at Xiao Jiang's house?"

Huang Jiangsheng shook his hair, lit a cigarette, and said in a melodious tone: "I was born hungry, and school was suspended. After graduation, I went to the countryside. I didn't have a job when I came back, so I could only go out and start a small business."

Han Yu was stunned for a moment, and immediately realized: "Are you an educated youth?"

Huang Jiangsheng took two puffs of cigarettes in a row, and said mockingly: "I graduated from junior high school at the age of 15, and went to northern Xinjiang to farm for six years. I sneaked back. Not only did I not have a job, I couldn't even register for my household registration."

Han Yu asked curiously, "What account do you have now?"

"Pocket account."

Huang Jiangsheng patted his butt exaggeratedly, and smiled wryly: "The household registration issued by the northern Xinjiang is in my pocket. I had the opportunity to apply for the household registration, but my two brothers saw me coming back and hid the household registration book at home. , Don’t let me go to the police station to register.”

Han Yu asked inexplicably, "Why did they hide the household registration booklet, why didn't they let you go to the police station to apply for the household registration?"

"The house is only that big. Now it's the two of them who live in it. If I register for household registration, I will be divided among the three brothers. Tell me, this is my brother born in a mother's womb."

Huang Jiangsheng knocked on the cigarette ash and sighed again: "Policy changes are also fast, changing every day. Now even if they take out the household registration book, I still can't get in."

"Why can't you report it?"

"The government doesn't want us educated youths. Let us go back to northern Xinjiang. Who do you think is willing to go back to farm?"

"Then you are homeless."

"Yeah, homeless."

"what line of work are you in."

"Usually collect eggs and sell eggs, and harvest new rice and sell new rice when autumn grain comes up."

Fearing that the little policeman in front of him would not understand, Huang Jiangsheng explained with a smile: "It is harvested in Linghai, and taken to the East China Sea by a sailing boat, and transported to the East China Sea to sell and earn a little money to make ends meet."

Han Yu saw him talking to the boat people passing by the river yesterday afternoon, and he thought he was asking if there was a boat going to the East China Sea by the river, and asked in surprise: "It's speculative!"

"Don't go online, I earn hard money. The People's Daily said that long-distance traffickers like us are not speculators."

"Then what is speculation."

"Those ticket dealers in Bailonggang are like that. They buy low and sell high, and they earn more than ten times when they change hands. They earn black-hearted money."

Huang Jiangsheng took a puff of cigarette, thought about it, and then said: "There are also those who resell foreign exchange certificates. The last time I came back from the East China Sea by boat, I met one. [-] or even [-]:[-] is exchanged for those who need foreign exchange certificates, how easy and fast it is for them to make money.”

Han Yu knew about foreign exchange certificates because her sister worked in the Sailors' Club.

Foreign exchange certificates are very popular, and you can buy imported home appliances, imported chocolates and imported cigarettes such as Sanwu, which cannot be bought in other shopping malls, from foreign-related stores such as Friendship Store and Seaman's Club.

It is said that many people from the East China Sea cannot exchange foreign exchange certificates in the East China Sea, so they go to Binjiang to find foreign seafarers calling in Hong Kong to exchange them, and then take them to the East China Sea to exchange them for those who need them.

Foreign seamen are also willing to exchange for them, because after disembarking, they can only exchange foreign currency for foreign exchange certificates, and cannot directly exchange for RMB.

This means that those foreigners can only spend in places that accept foreigners such as friendship stores and sailors' clubs, and those foreigners want to go to other places to play and buy things in other stores.

This kind of behavior is not just speculation, but also violates the country's financial policy.

However, Han Yu was just a policeman repairing and sailing a boat, and he only went to work today, so he didn't care about these things, so he asked with a smile, "Are you looking for a boat, or are you waiting for a boat?"

"I was waiting for the boat, but the boat that was promised ten days ago hasn't turned back, and it hasn't come yet. Eggs are different from rice. The weather is so hot, so they can't be kept for too long. We can only look for a boat by the river."

"I'm by the river every day, I'll help you pay attention."

"Thank you."

"You don't need to thank me, it's your job."

What Han Yu said was from his heart, after all, it was really not easy, even pitiful.

When he was a teenager, he left his hometown and went to northern Xinjiang to work as an educated youth. After finally running back to Donghai to have a family, he couldn't return. Even his two older brothers rejected him.

In contrast, although I grew up on a boat, I am much happier than him.

Huang Jiangsheng thought this little policeman was interesting, and said with a half-smile, "I saw you at the gate of Bailonggang bus station this morning."

"is it?"

"Did you go by bicycle this morning, and did you wear a uniform?"

"You really saw me, I was there in the morning."

"By the way, you are a male police officer, why are you wearing the uniform of a female police officer?"

"what……"

Huang Jiangsheng looked at him with a smile and asked: "The chest is different, don't you know?"

Han Yu suddenly thought of Comrade Lao Zhang's smile in the morning, and thought that he was wearing the uniform of a female police officer and rushed to take pictures for souvenirs, so he couldn't laugh or cry.
