Chapter eight hundred and twelve girlfriends

The long-awaited New Year's Day holiday finally arrived. Gao Yali, who rarely has the opportunity to wear casual clothes, wore the black down jacket she bought last year, took two large bags of snacks she bought at the supermarket last night, and went to the bus station early to take a big customer back to her hometown.

My colleagues all thought that my hometown was in Xin'an and joked more than once that I wanted to go to Liuxia, the ancient town, to have fun.

Has he worked in Xin'an Public Security Bureau been a person from Xinan? He thought it was funny, for fear that others would think they were inhumane. Gao Yali had never explained it, but in fact they might not believe it.

Looking at Liu Xiahe outside the car window and listening to the two girls sitting in the front row discussing how to get into a civil servant exam, Gao Yali was filled with emotion and couldn't help but think of her experiences over the past years.

People really rely on fate!

Who would have thought that a village cadre who works chores in the township government would be arranged to do chores in the police station? Who would have thought that a temporary worker who works chores in the police station could be promoted and dressed in police uniforms to become a formal police officer? It would definitely be incomparable to those bosses who passed by in a car, but she was undoubtedly lucky compared to a college student who worked hard to take civil servants but failed to get into the civil service exam.

Thinking of these, I naturally think of Director Han, and Wang Yan who is waiting at Liangzhuang Bus Station.

Back then, so many colleagues and comrades-in-arms were transferred and retired. She was the only one who still worked in Liangzhuang. So what about Zhengke? After all, it was Liangzhuang, a small town that was not easy to find on the map.

Just as they were regretting their good sisters, the bus slowly stopped to the side of the road. The two girls sitting in the front row just said thank you to the driver, jumped out of the car with big bags, and happily greeted the family who came to pick them up.

It feels so good to go home. Gao Yali thinks of her parents who are unwilling to go to peace again, her son who is unwilling to go back to her hometown in Liangzhuang, and her husband who has always wanted to go back to her hometown but has no time to work overtime all day.

"We'll arrive at Liuxia immediately and go to Xin'an, Liuxia, Liangzhuang passengers are ready to get off the bus. There are many people on New Year's Day today. Get your luggage and don't pull it in the bus later."

The driver turned around and shouted, and Gao Yali recovered.

Although my hometown is not very far from Anle City, as my children continue to grow up, I have come back less and less often in the past two years. Looking at the familiar and unfamiliar scenery outside the car, I suddenly found that the feeling of coming back is different every time.

Liangzhuang on the other side of the river has changed a lot. When I came back this time, I felt that it had become lively, but that it became deserted.

The reason for such changes is not that the third party secretary of Liangzhuang Town is incapable of the ability, but that with the rapid development of Sigang economy and Sigang transportation, Liangzhuang's location advantages are becoming less and less obvious.

There are more and more trucks running on the road, and road transportation is very likely to replace water transportation. There are fewer and fewer boats on the Liuxia River, and I can’t see a few along the way.

The railway in Jiangbei has been completed and opened to traffic. Sigang has a train station, and it is a large station in several surrounding counties and cities. People travel far away, especially when they go to Jiangcheng or Beijing. Most of them go to Sigang to take the train. No one wants to come to Liangzhuang again to take the long-distance bus that is both expensive and uncomfortable.

The expressway on the east side of Sigang County is open to traffic, from the north to the seaport and the East China Sea to the south. There is the Yangtze River Bridge that can quickly cross the river in the outskirts of Nangang City; there is the Jingdong Expressway (Beijing-Donghai) that was built and opened to traffic earlier to the west of Xin'an City. This provincial highway with a large traffic flow was once very high. The buses that occasionally traveled south to and from the south on the provincial road are no longer the first choice for people to go to the south and the East China Sea.

Liangzhuang is no longer brilliant, or glory has become a thing of the past. As a Liangzhuang person, Gao Yali couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

"Xin'an, Liuxia, Liangzhuang is here. Don't squeeze, don't hurry, look at your feet and pay attention to safety!"

"This sister, take it, this is our business card. We have two shifts every day, 9:30 am and 4:30 pm. Pass here on time. When you go to Anle, you can call us, and you can also call us when you come back from Anle. If there are too many people, we can pick us up. If there are too many people, we can go and pick us up..."

The bus drove to the Liuxiahe Bridge without realizing it. The driver neither planned to cross the bridge like before, and went to the Liangzhuang long-distance bus station on the east side of the bridge, and probably did not plan to go to the Liuxia Bus Station, which had fewer passengers. He just parked at the Sancha Road intersection.

On this line, the business of the boss who runs passenger transport is becoming increasingly difficult to do. The service attitude is amazing. The driver and the ticket seller all ran out of the car. One opened the suitcase cover below and lay down inside to pick up the luggage for the passengers. The other smiled and sent a business card to say good things.

I only stayed for two days when I came back and would go back tomorrow afternoon.

Gao Yali didn't bring much luggage, only one paper bag and two large plastic bags of snacks. She took the business card and said thank you, then turned around and walked towards the Liuxiahe Bridge.

There were many black car drivers here in the past who were recruiting passengers, but now they are gone.

There are fewer passers-by and few passengers. Not to mention that there are no New Year's Day, there are no before the Spring Festival at the end of the twelfth lunar month, only two fruit stalls placed at the bridgehead are still sticking to it.

When working at Liangzhuang Police Station, they dealt with them a lot. After being transferred to Xinan Police Station, they often came over. Gao Yali knew Old Man Wang and the aunt named Chen, and they also knew Gao Yali.

"Gao Gong'an, I'm back!"

"It's vacation, go home and have a look."

"Where is the child, why don't you bring the child back?"

"I'm busier than me when I go to cram school."

"The child is really hard now, and there are several cram schools under Liu," Old Man Wang looked at the things she carried in her hand, pointed to a handful of bananas and said with a smile: "Gao Gong'an, I finally came back and brought some fruits for the old man. I just entered the morning and imported bananas and oranges are even better, with sweet and more juice."

Gao Yali was ridiculous and didn't know how to get out, a familiar voice came from the bridge: "Old Wang, it's too much. Even the police dared to forcefully buy and sell. Do you think I can't care about you if I put it on the bridge!"

"Teacher Wang, what are you saying? Is it easy for Gao Gongjian to come back? Besides, my fruit is indeed fresh. I taste the oranges that I just cut, and it's not sweet. It's not sweet or not.

Wang Yan chuckled: "Thank you for your kindness. We won't taste it or buy it."

"Prepare a few pounds for your children to eat. It's better to eat more oranges. You can calculate 4 yuan per pound for you. You said you get such a high salary, you don't buy this or that, why do you make so much money?" Others are afraid of the police. Old Man Wang, who has been "holding" on the bridge for more than ten years, is not afraid. He grabbed a plastic bag and planned to put the oranges in it.

This old guy is very cunning. I don’t know how many times Li Xiaolei was slaughtered by him when he was in Liangzhuang.

Wang Yan had long disliked him, so he held the armed belt with both hands, looked at him and cursed: "Old Wang, don't fool us, the supermarket only sells 3 and a half yuan, you can count it to us 4 yuan. Besides, we are from Liangzhuang, and even if we buy it, we have to buy it at the other end of the bridge."

The old guy was unhappy and glared: "What's wrong with you from Liangzhuang? If you have the ability, don't cross the bridge, don't come to our Liuxia."

"Luheqiao was built by the state, not by you, Wang Dada. I will leave as long as I want. Stop talking nonsense, listen to your radio."

Wang Yan was too lazy to talk to him, and pulled Gao Yali, who was embarrassed to buy a few pounds, and turned around and left.

The security checkpoint under the bridge is still there, but there is no one in the booth.

Without siege and interception tasks, the police and assistance from Liangzhuang Police Station generally do not take up their posts. The police station's small traffic police team has long been cancelled, and this area of ​​traffic is under the jurisdiction of the Fourth Traffic Police Squadron, but they occasionally come to check the cars.

The bus station, which used to be a large traffic, was deserted. The 101 bus from Liangzhuang to Xin'an stopped driving as early as last year. There was only a minibus that drove Sigang at the door and did not leave until the time was time. There were not many passengers on the bus, and the driver was dozing off on the steering wheel.

"It's getting deserted." Gao Yali stuffed her things into the police car and sighed with a soft smile on her shoulder at the door.

Wang Yan got into the cab, tied up his seat belt, and turned around and smiled: "The population is getting older and there are fewer and fewer young people. I can't stay there. Some people will not come back after taking the exam, some will go out to do engineering, and some will go out to do business. If there wasn't an industrial park or several factories, it would be more deserted than it is now."

"There is a small population in the jurisdiction, so you can save trouble."

"What's the problem? The population in the jurisdiction is smaller, and there are fewer police officers on the job. Now there are 9 more."

Wang Yan lit the engine and drove towards the township. He said helplessly: "The county first built a development zone, but now it is an industrial park. It doesn't attract investment from other places, and it specializes in digging the corners of the township. In the past six months, eight factories have been moved away, all of them have moved to Sigang. There are still many factories that want to move. There are fewer factories and no money in the town, and our police station will not have them. The prevention and control team is in name only, and now there are only 17 auxiliary police officers left."

"how so?"

"No money," Wang Yan pointed to a camera at the intersection. "The CCTV surveillance that the Korean Bureau had done back then should be upgraded. We should be fine. Not only is there no funding upgrade, it is difficult to maintain. Nine out of ten cameras are decorations, which can only scare people."

"Just do the security of the public." No one can play without money, Gao Yali comforted him.

"The public security is still careless. If the public security is messed up again, I will be embarrassed to see him when Director Han comes back."

"Have you had a phone call recently? When will he and Xiaolei come back?"

"It's so expensive internationally. You're still working in the municipal bureau. Now you use email. They don't plan to come back during the Spring Festival. His mother and Xiaolei's mother are both in South Africa, and Xuxu is there to go to school."

"All go?"

"The two old men didn't go."

Speaking of the old leader and his best friend far away in South Africa, Wang Yan suddenly felt energetic and held the steering wheel and danced: "Old Lu went out for a trip with Mr. Han last month. Political Commissar Yuan, you should remember, and followed him. Xiaolei asked them to bring us gifts, otherwise I can call you to ask if you will come back on New Year's Day."

"I brought a gift again, and they gave it to the leader, so we're the other way around."

"It has nothing to do with him, this is a friendship with Xiaolei. Besides, he has a rich second generation, so he has money." Wang Yan couldn't help laughing. She had never felt embarrassed about Li Xiaolei.

Since her workplace is not in Liangzhuang, Gao Yali and Li Xiaolei are not as close to her and Li Xiaolei. She asked with embarrassment: "What are you bringing?"

"South African specialty, I didn't say on the phone that I wanted to give you a surprise. I opened it to see it myself in the storage box."

"You brought it in the car?"

"Nonsense, I'm on duty today. I have to go back to the office to send you home. What should I do if I don't take you with me if I leave tomorrow morning."

"I'll take a look."

Gao Yali opened the storage box and there was only a small box with exquisite packaging inside. He picked up the box and opened it and saw it, and was stunned.

"This... this... Wang Yan, is this true?"

"She is embarrassed to let Lao Lu bring it to us, really, someone with a certificate."

Gao Yali looked at the diamond ring that reflected the bright light in the sun and asked sadly: "Wang Yan, it's too expensive, how much does it cost?"

When she got it, Wang Yan laughed and said, "I asked, she said it was not expensive, less than 10,000 yuan. There are diamond mines in South Africa that produce diamonds, so is it cheaper than in China?"

"Ten thousand is not expensive!"

"Of course it's expensive for us, and for her, Xiaolei's intentions should be taken on."

Diamonds will last forever, and one will last forever.

As long as it is a woman, who doesn’t like this shiny thing? Gao Yali couldn’t help but put it on, raised her hand and looked left and right, and couldn’t help laughing and said, “This is a diamond ring. I haven’t bought it even when I get married, and I don’t dare to look at it even when I go to the mall.”

"Like it?"

"Don't you like it?"

Wang Yan giggled and said, "If it could be bigger, I would like it more."

"Why are you so greedy? If you could be bigger, how much would it cost to get bigger? Xiaolei's money didn't fall from the sky."

"Just kidding, to be honest, I don't plan to bring the one I gave to me, I will leave it at home, and wait for my girl to grow up as a dowry. You know, my parents and his parents didn't give me anything when they got married, and there was no decent family heirloom. Now that I have it, just this diamond ring."

"Don't the man should buy a diamond ring? I'll propose to the marriage with a diamond ring."

"Did Shan Xiaojun propose to you with a diamond ring?"

"No."
