On August 15, 2012, the confrontation at the entrance of the Cherv Market, the capital of the Republic of North Russia, continued between the Law Enforcement Bureau of the Republic of North Russia and ordinary people in North Russia, as well as Chinese merchants in the market.

The vehicles of the Enforcement Bureau have been around the entrance of the Cherf Market for more than an hour, and as the time drags on, more and more people have gathered here, including many domestic and foreign journalists, which makes the Director of Law Enforcement feel very anxious, because his task today is to shut down the market, but if he not only fails to complete the task, but also allows the foreign media to film this matter, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Under such anxiety, the director of law enforcement shouted: "Today, no matter what, this illegal Cherph market must be closed, this is an order personally signed by the president, whoever dares to stop it is violent resistance to the law, and our law enforcement bureau has the right to take necessary measures!"

On the other side, Conon, who was leading the way, shouted-for-tat: "The Cherf market must not be closed! Not even if it is an order issued by Mr. President, we will not allow it! If you really want to force the closure of this market, then please step over my corpse!"

After Conong, the other old Northern Russians who came with him also blocked in front of the Cherv market, and no one flinched even a step.

The director of law enforcement was angry, he pointed at Conon and said loudly: "Mr. Conong, I know that you are very prestigious in Chrisco, and I respect you to let you, but this is not the capital you are clamoring in front of the Law Enforcement Bureau, don't think that I really dare not arrest you, I just don't want to cause too much conflict, I prefer to solve this matter smoothly!"

Conon also pointed back and said: "If you are just a bureaucrat, then please take back your respect, I don't need a bureaucrat to respect me at all, I still say the same thing, the Cherv market is the savior of our entire North Russia, if it weren't for these Chinese here, most of the North Russians would not have been able to live that year, it was they who saved us, we North Russians must not be ungrateful!"

After Conon finished speaking, on the big screen at the entrance of a shopping mall not far away, a photo was suddenly released, which was a ragged old man from Northern Russia, holding a few old rubles in his hand, looking at the sky blankly with tears in his eyes.

Seeing that this photo was released, Conon pointed to the photo and said: "See? This photo is a news photo that won an award in the United States 20 years ago, and this photo is the most representative photo of North Russia at that time, at that time all our North Russians were like this, if there was no Cherf Market, if there were no Chinese merchants, we would all die, and there would be no you people at all." ”

The more Coron spoke, the more excited he became, and his whole body trembled uncontrollably: "But now that your wings are hard, you want to shut down this place for some ridiculous reasons, you are simply ungrateful bastards!"

Not only Konon, but also other old Northern Russians who came with him also shouted desperately: "That's right, we must not be sorry for our Chinese benefactors, we must not be ungrateful bastards!"

In the midst of the crowd, some young people asked the people around them in a daze, "What happened back then, and why was Mr. Conon so excited about these people?"

Only some older people would reply with tears in their eyes: "It was a cannibalistic era, and when everyone, including the president, gave up on us and drove us to death, it was these Chinese who saved us with their hands." ”

......

Let the time go back to July 7 of 89, this day is about to enter the hottest time of summer according to the lunar calendar, and it is the same on the North Russian side, but at a temperature of 20 degrees, all the North Russians in Crisco do not feel a little warm, but everyone has a cold from the bottom of their hearts, for no other reason, it is an order issued by the North Russian authorities this morning.

"Based on the current economic situation in the country, President Nikolavich issued a presidential decree announcing the abolition of the old ruble and the issuance of a new ruble, asking all North Russians to go to the designated bank within three days with their ID cards to withdraw the new ruble, after which all the old rubles will be out of circulation. ”

This news was released with the radio, so that the whole lively Grad Street became quiet all of a sudden, some of them maintained the posture just now, just looked up at the radio overhead, and some of them held the radio and stunned there, but no matter what kind of posture they had, the dazed and incredible in their eyes was difficult to hide.

"What does this radio mean? That is, in the future, the rubles in our hands will not be available, and it will not be money?"

Someone asked the person around him in a daze, and the person replied: "I don't understand either, but this seems to be the meaning of listening to the radio, otherwise we would not have been asked to exchange the new ruble, but what is the problem with this ruble? Why is it said that it is invalid? What is the difference between the new ruble and the old ruble, and why do we have to replace the old ruble for the new ruble?"

The man replied yes, but his tone was still full of confusion, and his question was the same question that was on the minds of all Chriscos on the streets of Grad.

However, their confusion and doubts are also normal, the history of the issuance of the ruble is not to be said for the time being, just say that these Northern Russians have been using rubles since they were born, whether it is to buy groceries on the street, to pay electricity bills, or to travel or something, even if they go abroad, in many places the ruble can still be circulated, it is of great value.

Therefore, in the eyes of many people, the ruble is a symbol of their life, and now suddenly a radio announcement says that the ruble is going to be invalidated, how can they accept this?

Just as 20 years later, the central government suddenly announced that the soft sister currency was invalid, after all, not everyone is an economic expert, everyone is used to a life, used to a currency, at this time you suddenly want him to change, it is impossible to adapt to it.

In the crowd, there was an elderly old lady from North Russia, she was wearing dirty clothes, and many places were torn, and her action at this time was to stop when she was taking a can to the customer opposite, obviously making a deal.

Although the status of Grad Street is similar to that of Chang'an Street, since the outbreak of the economic crisis, this central street of Crisko has become a hodgepodge market for all North Russians to peddle their wares, and this old Northern Russian lady is also an ordinary member of this army of traders, she really has no money in the family, and wants to buy her grandson a summer dress, so she takes the few cans left in the family and sells them.

As luck would have it, there were soon people on the streets of Grad to buy her cans, but just as she was about to sell the last can, she heard the news like a bolt from the blue.

The ruble is going to be forcibly abolished and cannot be used?

This old lady from North Russia was blindsided all at once, because she was going to the Cherf market to buy clothes, the canned food she sold today was in rubles, but now the radio suddenly said that the rubles were going to be invalidated, how could this be good?

"Can I stop this deal? I won't sell the cans. ”

The old lady said to the person in front of her, but the man's movements were faster, and just as the old lady had just spoken, the man took her canned food with force, and then quickly stuffed a few old rubles into her hand, and said, "No, I have already bought this can." ”

The old lady of the North Russia did not want to sell it, but she was very old, and the young man opposite was a young and strong young man, and she could not win him at all, so the old lady had to say: "But the radio just now said that the ruble has been invalidated, how can this still be sold?"

The young man didn't listen at all: "That has nothing to do with me, we said that the good thing was to trade in rubles, I didn't lie to you, now that the rubles can't be used, you can go to Mr. President, it's what he said was invalid." ”

The old lady wanted to say something, but the young man didn't give her a chance to say it at all, and ran away with the can, leaving only the old lady of the North Russian still standing in place, she looked at the back of the young man running away, holding the ruble she had just received in her hand and felt dazed.

"Hey, what are you doing? That young man has run away, didn't you listen to the radio just now? Mr. President has already issued an order, and this ruble will be a piece of waste paper from now on!"

Someone next to her reminded the old lady of the North Russian, but she still felt overwhelmed, if according to common sense, the young man who ran away was indeed hateful, but should she hate that young man now?

Thinking so, she looked down at the ruble she was holding in her hand, and tears involuntarily flowed from her eyes.

This old lady of North Russia, she doesn't understand why, she has used the ruble all her life, why today it is a piece of waste paper because of a broadcast, why is it so difficult for her to buy a summer dress for her grandson? Why has she taken out the last few boxes of canned food left, but still has no way to do it, what is wrong with this country? Is it really trying to force people to a dead end?

The old lady of North Russia stood there crying silently, obviously it was summer now, and she had already gone to the street in short sleeves, but now in her heart, it was a cold that penetrated into the bone marrow.

At this moment, there was a click, and a passing American reporter took a picture of the old lady from North Russia.

Although he is not a very good reporter, at this time he can keenly feel that the current situation of this old lady in North Russia is the whole Grad Street and even the entire Chrisco, they are so at a loss and at a loss after hearing about the state of the North Russian authorities after the forced replacement of the new ruble, they don't know what to do, and even disrupt their lives.

The old ruble is not working, what to do?

This is the common idea in the hearts of every ordinary North Russian at this moment, and at this time, a propaganda car drove up the street and came with pleasantly surprised news.
