Chapter 147: Chapter 123 Two Jackets

The dunship was designed by Master Zhou in accordance with the latest standards, and before designing, he had visited several units’ dunships across the river, so the living facilities on the dunship are quite complete.

There is electricity and running water.

There are restrooms for both n and won, and there’s even a sewage hold.

However, extracting sewage requires a boat, and the boat needs to be equipped with a pump. Since it’s not feasible to pump daily, the sewage would linger in the hold and definitely create an odor, and it cannot be discharged directly into the river.

After weighing his options, Xu Sanye finally decided to construct restrooms onshore and temporarily convert the dunship’s male and female restrooms into washrooms for washing face, clothes, and even taking showers.

If you look at the blueprint, the small cabin between the two water rooms is designated for handwashing and freshening up, but now it has been turned into a "boiling water room."

The previous coal-burning stove was too small; it could only fit three honeycomb briquettes standing upright, producing insufficient heat to boil water quickly.

The new one purchased is three tis larger than the original, allowing quicker water heating and consuming more coal.

Yet, even at this faster rate, the boiled water is not enough for multiple people to use simultaneously.

Respecting the elderly and loving the young is a fine tradition of the Chinese people. Han Yu let Captain Wang and Director Jin go first to take their baths and rest in their dorms with their eyes closed. He would wait until they were finished and the next pot of water was boiled before taking his own bath.

Unlike others who either stayed in double rooms or in collective dorms with bunk beds everywhere,

Han Yu received preferential treatnt from Director Xu due to having no house or even ho onshore, and owning quite a few personal belongings. He, a newcor with initial plans to reside in the 001 crew cabin, now lived in a single room, just like Director Jin.

The original office desk was moved here, along with two chairs, a wardrobe, and a single bed.

During a previous trip to make covers for the Water Depth Detector and curtains for the cockpit, he took the opportunity to also have soone make a window curtain and a large curtain that could divide the dormitory into two parts.

Just as he sat down after opening the door, his senior sister knocked and walked in.

"Sister Xiang Ning, what is this?"

"Military rit dal."

"What Military rit dal?"

"Your Military rit dal!"

Han Xiangning placed the brocade box containing the third-level rit dal and the certificate in front of him with a touch of envy and sentint and said, "Without attending your police departnt’s award ceremony, one really can’t feel that intense sense of honor.

So many people rise to their feet in unison, then sit down, hats neatly placed on the tables. Everyone sits up straight, no one whispers or murmurs—truly a scene describable as solemn and dignified."

Han Yu opened the brocade box and, indeed, found a dal inside.

"Sister Xiang Ning, did you go to accept this for ?"

"Director Xu insisted that I go. Luckily, Director Yu explained to everyone that you were engaged in a rescue mission and couldn’t attend the ceremony, introducing

as your sister. Otherwise, people might have mistakenly thought that you died a glorious death. They might even think I was a martyr’s family mber."

"Thank you."

"Look how happy you are. But then again, this is a third-level rit—within our departnt, it takes being advanced for three consecutive years to earn this."

"What’s ’three years advanced’?"

"It ans being recognized as an Advanced Worker or Advanced Individual for three consecutive years."

Yanjiang Police Station is different from other units, with a higher average age and many older colleagues who do not place much importance on honours.

Director Xu’s understanding of honor is sowhat different from others; he does not care about dals or certificates but what the public thinks of Yanjiang Police Station.

As Director Xu would say, a gold cup or a silver cup is no match for the good reputation among the people.

Being accustod to such an environnt, Han Yu was very happy to receive an individual third-level rit, but he wasn’t overly thrilled. Fiddling with the dal, he asked, "Is there a reward?"

Han Xiangning was slightly taken aback, "I’m talking about honor, and you’re asking if there’s money involved? What kind of person are you!"

Han Yu scratched his head, a bit embarrassed, "I’m just asking."

"Yes, there’s a bonus of one hundred yuan, equivalent to two months of your salary."

"Where is it?"

"The envelope with the money is clipped inside the certificate. You little money-grubber, always thinking about money."

"Money isn’t everything, but without it, you can’t do anything."

"Go ahead and count, in case a few bills are missing. I can’t take responsibility for that."

Watching her junior count the money, Han Xiangning secretly sighed at the benefits of being the sole focus in a unit; if it had been another unit, such good fortune would never have fallen to him.

After Han Yu counted the money, he looked at the certificate and asked, "Sister Xiang Ning, who else has been honored with awards?"

"Many people."

Han Xiangning thought for a bit and smiled, "In your station, your branch’s Criminal Investigation Team, Bailong Port Police Station, and Changhang East Sea Police Branch’s Bai Shen Police Team all received a collective third-level rit. There are also four individual third-level rits, one for each unit; there are many comndations."

"Do you know who they are?"

"I only know about your senior apprentice brother and Uncle Liu from Bailong Port Police Station. They received the third-level rit like you; I don’t recognize the other two."

This was in recognition of the crackdown on the scalping of boat tickets.

The senior apprentice brother initially helped with taking pictures with Zhang Lan, and later he joined in the crackdown on scalpers who t the criteria for criminal liability. To Han Yu’s surprise, he was also awarded an individual third-level rit.

Both the senior and junior apprentices had been rited, and Director Xu must be very pleased.

But then again, if he and his senior apprentice brother were honored with rits, it must be due to Director Xu’s efforts.

While Han Yu was still delighting in secret, Han Xiangning smiled again, "There’s also a cash reward for collective third-level rits, around five hundred. However, it’s for the unit, not individuals. Instructor Li said that ordinarily, it could take three to five months for such bonuses to be disbursed. This ti it’s different as Bailong Port Police Station and the Bai Shen Police Team were also being awarded, so you all got it together."

"Who’s Instructor Li?"

"It’s Commander Li, of course. Now that you’re like us, part of a team, Commander has beco an instructor."
