In a blink of an eye, the New Year is here again.

In previous years, no matter how busy we were, the whole family could get together for a reunion dinner.

This year, the second son was too busy at work and the second daughter-in-law could not come back even though she was not far from home. The father-in-law and mother-in-law brought Han Han back during the twelfth lunar month and stayed there for three days before returning to Donghai. The schooling system in Donghai is different from that in Binjiang. The primary school

There is only fifth grade and no sixth grade. The child is now in the first grade of junior high school. If his academic performance cannot keep up, he will not even be able to go to high school in the future and will have to rush back to cram school.

My grandson-in-law gave birth to a fat boy, and my daughter and son-in-law went to the army to look after the baby, and they will not go back to their hometown to celebrate the New Year this year.

The eldest son and daughter-in-law said that they spent so much money to buy a house in Donghai, but they never lived in it. They also went to Donghai to celebrate the New Year this year.

In previous years, the Spring Festival was so lively, but this year’s Spring Festival, the house was empty and extremely deserted.

Lao Han was not used to it. While playing mahjong with Lao Qian, Principal Gao, and Dean Chen, he complained: "I used to always think about my children having a future, but now it's not a good thing to see my children have a future. Each one is busier than the other at work.

, they go farther and farther away from each other, and they don’t even come back during the New Year.”

Dean Chen's two sons are also promising. One works in Donghai and the other goes to Shenzhen. They have been "left-behind elders" for two years.

He threw down a piece of "eight notes", raised his head and said with a smile: "It's not like Han Shen and Xiao Hong didn't ask you to go to the East China Sea to celebrate the New Year. You didn't go yourself. Who can you blame?"

"The houses in Donghai are a little bigger, and I don't know any of the neighbors in the community. What's the point of going to Donghai to celebrate the New Year? There's no one to talk to. It's better to celebrate the New Year in my hometown."

"You can go shopping on Nanjing Road and have fun on the Bund."

"I don't care about Nanjing Road and the Bund. I don't know how many times a year I pass by the Bund when I go boating."

Comrade Han has been sailing for most of his life and has traveled to many places. It was not easy for him to land ashore. To be precise, he finally found his own home on the shore. He really didn’t want to go anywhere.

Lao Qian could understand him and couldn't help but smile: "Just get used to it. Xiaoyu and Yuzhen didn't bring the little crocodile back this year. Besides, didn't Ningning come back yesterday afternoon to pay you New Year greetings and give you so many years of gifts?"

.”

Principal Gao asked curiously: "Old Han, Xiang Ning didn't go to Donghai to celebrate the New Year?"

"The Yangtze River Bridge is undergoing acceptance inspection, and many leaders and experts are here. She is from the headquarters. How can she go away at this time."

"Do you know when it will be accepted?"

"It should be soon."

"When will it be opened to traffic?"

The second daughter-in-law's job is very important. Lao Han said with a proud smile: "I actually asked yesterday, and she said that once the work is completed and accepted, it will be 'test-opened' like a hotel's trial operation. The traffic in Binjiang and Jiangbei prefecture-level cities

The bureau has already negotiated with the Donghai Transportation Bureau. Once the bridge is "trial-opened", more than 100 long-distance buses that used to run from the Donghai Long-distance Passenger Terminal to Binjiang and Yanhai areas will be diverted from the original ferry across the river.

The Yangtze River Bridge crosses the river.”

Looking forward to the stars and the moon, finally this day has arrived!

Principal Gao said with emotion: “When the bridge is ‘trial-opened’, I will take a bus to Donghai to see my children.”

Old Qian was equally happy and asked with a smile: "How many hours does it take to cross the Yangtze River Bridge from Linghai to Donghai by bus?"

"The East China Sea is huge, it depends on where you go."

“Donghai Long-distance Bus Station.”

"Estimated to take three and a half hours."

"It takes three and a half hours to walk, which is too slow." Old Qian was a little disappointed. He looked at the sign and muttered: "In the past, it only took two hours to take a high-speed ferry from Binjiang to Shiliupu Pier and to the center of Donghai City.

.Transportation facilities are getting better and better, shouldn’t they be getting faster and faster? Why are they getting slower and slower?”

"High-speed passenger ships are not safe." Old Han thought about it and said, "Besides, high-speed passenger ships are greatly affected by the weather and are often suspended."

"Old Qian, didn't high-speed passenger ships in the past only go to Wusongkou?"

"At first we went to Shiliupu Pier, but after half a year we changed it to only go to Wusong Pier."

"If the high-speed liner had not stopped sailing, it would be great if it could still sail to Shiliupu Pier like it did at the beginning." Principal Gao's daughter and son-in-law are both in the East China Sea, so of course he hopes to make it as convenient as possible.

How could Old Han not know what Principal Gao was thinking? He explained with a smile: "In Ning Ning's words, waterways are also resources. The Yangtze River is so wide, and the navigation channels for ships are so narrow. If the high-speed passenger ships do not stop sailing, the large and small ships that carry cargo will be

Giving way to high-speed passenger ships will affect long-distance freight."

“Is passenger transport less important than freight transport?”

"Of course it's not as important as freight. How many people can a high-speed passenger ship carry? How much cargo can a 10,000-ton cargo ship carry? Moreover, what I just mentioned is just the Yangtze River. The waterway resources of the Huangpu River are even tighter, and there are more large and small ships passing by every day. Otherwise, the East China Sea would be like that

Nor will the passenger terminal be moved from Shiliupu to Wusongkou."

When it comes to shipping, Comrade Han is an expert.

Principal Gao didn't want to talk to him anymore, so he turned around and asked with a smile: "Old Qian, why doesn't Xiaoyu come back to celebrate the New Year?"

"He went to the BJ. The Olympics are about to start. What kind of security is he going to the BJ?"

"Isn't there police security at BJ?"

"Yes, but not enough." When talking about his grandson, Lao Qian said with excitement: "At first I thought it was just Xiaoyu and the others. But in the twelfth lunar month, I met Mingyuan. Mingyuan said that both the Binjiang Public Security Bureau and the Linghai Public Security Bureau had to organize

Public security officers went to BJ to participate in Olympic security."

"Xiaoyu is in trouble and can't come back. Why doesn't Yuzhen bring the little crocodile back?"

"The little crocodile also needs to go to cram school. During this winter vacation, he will have a rest in the first, second and third grades of junior high school."

"The children today are so pitiful. They don't even have time to play during winter and summer vacations."

…

At the same time, Han Xiangning was looking at the countdown calendar for the Olympic Games that was hung last year in the bridge headquarters.

To others, it only means how many days are left before the opening of the BJ Olympics. For Han Xiangning, it also means how many days are left before she is transferred to Donghai.

Sister Shen, who had known each other day and night for several years, smiled and asked, "Han Bureau, what are you looking at?"

"Let's see how many days we have before we can be 'liberated'."

"Director Han, are you in such a hurry to leave? We have worked together for several years after all, and you are really willing to leave just now?"

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Han Xiangning pulled out his chair, sat down and said with a smile: "Sister Shen, this is not a matter of whether we want to leave, but when it is officially opened to traffic, the headquarters will be disbanded. We Even if we don’t want to leave, we still have to go back to our respective homes. But then again, when we came here, this place was desolate, and seeing the bridge being built little by little, we really couldn’t bear to leave.”

Sister Shen chuckled and said, "You'd better go to the East China Sea as soon as possible. I've already separated you from your family for half a year, but I can't let you be the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl anymore."

"Even if I transfer to Donghai right now, it won't be easy to meet him."

"What's the meaning?"

Han Xiangning said helplessly: "Everyone thinks that his current job is very leisurely. In fact, after being transferred, he is even busier than when he was in Binjiang. He is so busy every day that he can't even take care of his family and children."

Sister Shen was doubtful: "Is he so busy?"

"Their jurisdiction is large, with many things to do, but not many people. When my mother came back in the twelfth lunar month, she said that he had lost more than ten pounds in the past few months since he was transferred there." The more Han Xiangning thought about it, the more distressed he became, and he sighed softly: "He's going The previous director retired early because he was tired and fell ill."

"It seems that nothing is easy." Sister Shen sighed.

"Yes, if I had known that I would be so tired, I shouldn't have gone to the East China Sea at that time." Han Xiangning picked up the teacup, thought about it and smiled bitterly: "It's too late to say anything now. He must seek his own government in his position. Since he was transferred there Now, you have to do your job well."

"How are Hanhan's grades now?"

"It's better than before, but not much better. She's barely in the middle of the pack in the class. With her current grades, it's in danger of her being able to get into high school in two years."

"You have to think of a way and keep a close eye on it."

"I've thought of everything I should think of. What can I do if she doesn't learn from her?" Han Xiangning became more and more uncomfortable as she thought about it, and said bitterly: "If I hadn't been reluctant to give up this job, I would have really wanted to have a second child."

Sister Shen could understand her mood and said after a moment of silence: "Xiang Ning, the family planning control in Donghai should not be as strict as that in Binjiang. If you really plan to have another child, you can study the policy and think of a way to see if you can Set up a second child indicator.”

Han Xiangning said without hesitation: "No need to study, it's completely impossible."

"Why isn't it possible?"

"I have two sisters and he has three brothers and sisters. Neither of us is an only child. It is impossible for our superiors to allow us to have a second child. Besides, I am 38 this year. Even if my superiors agree to have a child, people will laugh at me if I have a child at this age. "

"Your wife is not afraid, so what are you afraid of?"

"Sister Shen, don't be ridiculous. My situation is different from my wife's." Han Xiangning took a deep breath, clenched her fists and said, "Didn't the leader say that he would give us a few months' leave after the bridge is opened to traffic? Then I will If she doesn’t do anything but just stares at Hanhan to study, I don’t believe her academic performance can’t be improved!”

…

On the third day of the first lunar month, Li Weiguo invited relatives and friends as usual.

Fang Zhiqiang, deputy director of the Linghai Public Security Bureau, did not have to be on duty today, so he came early with his wife and children to pay New Year greetings to Master. Lao Zhang and Lao Ding also came as in previous years. As soon as everyone sat down, they started chatting about two fishes.

"Xianyu can't come back today. He is mainly busy leading a team to stay on the river to see if he can catch the person who stole the beacon battery. I called him yesterday. There was no signal at the Yangtze River Estuary. His mobile phone didn't get through. I called them later.

The call was made through the satellite phone number provided by the police on duty at the unit."

"During the Spring Festival, he has been squatting at the mouth of the Yangtze River?"

"There have been many cases of theft of navigation mark batteries, and I can't explain it to my superiors if I don't break it. The situation in the Yangtze River Estuary is different from the situation in our Binjiang section. The Yangtze River Estuary is so wide, the water area is so busy, and navigation marks are so important to shipping.

There is nothing he can do."

Fang Zhiqiang asked curiously: "Master, didn't his superiors ask him to expand the maritime police force?"

While inviting everyone to eat melon seeds, Li Weiguo explained: "The superiors asked him to expand the maritime police force, but recruitment and training cannot be done quickly. Moreover, the coastline under their jurisdiction is so long, and waiting for several police stations to be established and managed is also a problem.

"

"Has he figured out how to manage it?"

"We have thought about it, and are communicating and coordinating with the navigation mark department. We plan to let the several police stations that are about to be established and are mainly responsible for the safety of navigation marks to accept the dual leadership of the Maritime Public Security Bureau and the relevant navigation mark departments. For example, they will establish the sixth police station in Ningbo this year.

The police station is mainly responsible for ensuring the safety of navigation aid facilities in Ningbo, Xingjia, Zhoushan and other sea areas. The sixth police station to be established will serve as an internal organization of the Ningbo Navigation Beacon Office and will be under the normal management of the Ningbo Navigation Beacon Office."

"That's good, otherwise he wouldn't be able to take care of it."

"There is no other way." Li Weiguo said with a smile: "They are directly under the jurisdiction of several police stations in Donghai. The police stations that will be established in Yungang, Ningbo and Xiamen are mainly under the control of the corresponding navigation mark departments. They

The Public Security Bureau only leads in business."
