Chapter 240: Chapter 179 This isn’t Fair

Yanjiang Police Station’s jurisdiction is mainly on the water, characterized by numerous points and long lines.

Their duties are plenty, some set by superiors, some added later by Xu Sanye.

If you want to work, there’s endless work to do.

If you don’t want to work, it is definitely the most relaxed police station in the Linghai Police Bureau.

In fact, both at its inception and now, the bureau has no requirements for such a retirement unit; there are no tasks for striking down crime, no revenue creation tasks, no tasks for subscribing to various publications, and no annual evaluations for Yanjiang Police Station.

What to do or not to do, they arrange themselves.

Li Weiguo is growing more fond of this working state, the only regret is that all these came too late, as he will retire in a year and a half.

Seeing Xu Sanye, who never had the patience for fishing, squatting on the floating bridge fishing with Old Qian today, he walked over and asked with a smile, "Director Xu, what brings you the mood to fish today?"

"Discussing matters with Old Qian, seeing him pulling one fish after another, I got an itch in my hand and took a fishing rod to fish for a while."

"Quite a catch."

Li Weiguo bent down to check the bucket of fish, then squatted down and pulled out a cigarette.

Old Qian turned around and smiled, "You can’t catch big fish here, all small ones."

"Small fish taste better than big ones."

"Small fish have more personal issues than Salted Fish."

"Director Xu, you’re discussing this with Old Qian!"

"Salted Fish’s personal issue is resolved, now only Xiao Yu remains."

Xu Sanye propped the fishing rod on the bridge, took a cigarette from Li Weiguo, and pulled out a disposable plastic lighter that Salted Fish had brought from East Sea, turning his back to the wind to light Old Qian’s cigarette first.

Li Weiguo realized he’s addicted to arranging marriages, mused, "Salted Fish is lucky to have an elder brother at home, his parents have limited capabilities, they can only help his elder brother, he could marry into a family. Master Han only has two daughters and has always wanted to recruit a son-in-law."

Xu Sanye lit his cigarette, sighed, "Xiao Yu’s situation is more complicated, not only is his family’s condition poor, but he is also an only child, his parents are relying on him to carry on the family line, it’s not possible for him to marry into a family like Salted Fish."

Compared to shipmen, fishermen have an even lower social status.

Besides, Liang Xiaoyu’s family is not just any fishermen, but the kind that drifts around, with the whole sea as their home, "nomadic fishermen."

If not for superiors demanding fishermen be provided with water household registrations, Liang Xiaoyu’s family would still be "unregistered."

Unlike Salted Fish, even though he was also born and raised on a ship, Salted Fish’s parents are at any rate employees of the shipping company, and he is genuinely a child of the shipping company.

Li Weiguo felt that it wouldn’t be easy for Xiao Yu to find a match, quietly said, "If Salted Fish wasn’t classmates with Ningning, knowing each other well, having a common language and emotional foundation, things between him and Ningning wouldn’t have gone so smoothly. Xiao Yu is currently attending open university, he should have classmates there too."

"Can open university compare to the Shipping School? You’ve never been there, I have been several times, there’s no hope there."

"Why no hope?"

"There are over three hundred students, most are just there to dabble in diplomas, only one accounting major three-year degree class is full-time, the rest are part-time working personnel. Moreover, most are studying construction, all to obtain qualifications like construction and safety officers."

Xu Sanye flicked his cigarette ash, bitterly smiled again, "The age difference among classmates is about the same as in our station, the oldest is over thirty years older than Salted Fish."

Li Weiguo realizing it, turned his head and said, "Old Qian, Xiao Yu is about the same as your godson, you have to think of a way."

"I’ve thought about it, I’ve already been around several nearby villages several times."

"Is there a suitable one?"

"There is one, but Director Xu doesn’t agree."

"Director Xu, since there is a suitable one, why don’t you agree."

"If it was really suitable, would I disagree? The key point is it’s not suitable!"

Li Weiguo pressed on, "Why is it not suitable?"

Xu Sanye took several puffs of cigarette, said lightly, "That girl Old Qian mentioned, I know her, from the seventh team of Bailong Port, her age matches Xiao Yu well, but she has brain issues, I heard her mother has mental issues too."

"An idiot?"

"Better than an idiot, but not by much, and this condition is hereditary, we have to consider not only the present but also Xiao Yu’s future."

Given Xiao Yu’s circumstances, finding a girl on land was already good.

Old Qian did not want Xiao Yu to end up a lifelong bachelor like himself, muttered, "We dislike that her mind is not sharp, others are eager to discuss marriage, once this opportunity is missed there won’t be another, she will definitely get married."

"I know a girl, no matter how simple-minded, can get married, but Xiao Yu cannot marry an idiot."

"But his family’s conditions are right there, where do you expect him to look?"

"Firstly, the issue of a house has to be resolved, can’t have none on land."

"How to resolve it?" Old Qian asked quietly.

Xu Sanye pondered, "There’s a warehouse for sale in the second team of Bailong Port, the one that used to store agricultural machines."

Li Weiguo asked instinctively, "On the riverside, not far from the sluice?"

"That’s the warehouse, it’s not small in size and has a threshing ground in front."

"Isn’t it a bit remote, with not many houses around, and it being a warehouse, can people live there?"

"If fixed up well, living there shouldn’t be a problem. As for the location, it is a bit remote, but it’s cheap."

"How much?"

"I asked this morning, the brigade officer said 3600."

"Can Xiao Yu’s family afford it?"

"He now has a registration, what can’t he buy. Besides, he is just buying a warehouse, not asking the brigade to divide land for his family."
