There is a large public space outside the building, and not only the spacious green space but also the fountain that used to be used to play in the summer is just now, but now the fountain is basically dry.

The foyer on the first floor can be used as a TV room, the stairs and passages up the stairs are not narrow, and the floors are empty, but as soon as you enter Ivanovich's house, the sensory style changes.

The house is simply renovated, but it looks more compact.

The kitchen and living room are pinched together, with three rooms connected to the side, two of which are rooms.

In order not to suffocate her guests, Ivanovich's wife at home opened two room doors, one of which opened onto a balcony outside.

The door of the master bedroom was opened, and Zhang Nan saw that the room was not large, it could even be said to be compact, and furniture such as cabinets still took up a lot of space.

Bypassing the door, Andrei took the door of the master bedroom with his hand - to show respect to the owner, it was a security rule to open the door before, Ivanovich understands this, and there can be no blind spots where the boss is.

Zhang Nan did not rush to sit down, but looked at the furnishings of the house, the two photo frames hanging on the wall were very conspicuous, it turned out that this Ivanovich family also had such a habit.

Standing and looking at the photos, they were basically photos of Ivan's family, and some of them were taken when he was serving in the army, and two of them should have been in wartime, and the background of the desolate distant mountains was very likely to be in Afghanistan.

The secondary bedroom that can be seen standing is not large, with a single bed and a lot of cabinets, but fortunately the house faces southeast, and the sun is shining on the balcony, which is good.

There are suites on both sides of the middle aisle of the Khrushchev building, and if it is the houses on the opposite side of the passage, it will be worse, and the sun will only be seen in the afternoon, and it is estimated that it is uncomfortable in winter, and in the summer it is the sun from the west that sets.

Although the house is small, it looks very warm, and it is very humane to be able to make such a structure under such an area.

Zhang Nan sat down on the folding sofa in the living room, there is no ordinary sofa here, because it can't be placed.

"Nice and cosy house!"

Zhang Nan said this sentence to the Ivanovichs and his wife sincerely, without any other meaning.

At the beginning of the design, these Khrushchev buildings were designed to meet the residents' requirements for comfort as much as possible, but in Zhang Nan's last life, many people thought that the "comfort" of the Soviet Khrushchev building was quite limited, on the grounds that the kitchen was compressed to 6 square meters, and the bathroom was only 4 square meters.

Is it small?

It is said that Khrushchev was very satisfied with these houses at first, and in his words: "As long as I can accommodate me, no one else will have problems."

Of course, no problem, the main reason for feeling cramped is that the room is relatively small, in fact, there should be, and it is to say that the kitchen and bathroom are too small!

Ask yourself, do you have a 6-square-meter kitchen in your house?

What about the bathroom, to less than 4 square meters?

In 16 years, in addition to Zhang Nan bought a new house, rough embryo, three bedrooms, two living rooms and two bathrooms, the usable area of the kitchen is only 5.1 square meters, and after trying to thin the lightweight wall for expansion, it is only 5.5 square meters.

Two bathrooms, one 3.9, the other is less than 3.5 square meters, anyway, it doesn't feel small.

It was 2016, and those in the previous life who made fun of the unreasonable structure of the Khrushchev Building, which began to be designed and built in the 50s, really don't know what they thought!

It is important to know that the Khrushchev House is a public house, and it only needs to pay a very low rent a symbolic amount every year, which is about the level of a few packs of cigarettes a year. Many of them are completely free, even in Moscow and Leningrad.

Think about the house slaves in Beijing and Shanghai in the 21st century, all of them are more than 100 square meters of large suites?

How much is the monthly mortgage?

Everything "hehe" it!

The space of the Khrushchev House was relatively cramped, but it solved the housing problem, and the Russians were happy to do so.

In order to adapt to such a small house, the Russians invented folding sofas, cabinets that can pull out desks, cupboards that can pull out dining tables, refrigerated cabinets hidden under windowsills...

How to save space and how to come, this Zhang Nan's seat is a natural gas stove on one side, next to a sink, and the refrigerator is on the other side.

In front of him was a narrow folding coffee table, and the dining table that was supposed to be there had been folded up and moved to the balcony.

Everything that can be folded is folded to save space.

Everyone found a seat and sat down, Ivanovich's two children, the older son is 7 years old, and he looks thin and tall at such an age.

The youngest daughter is only four years old, and her long blonde hair is tied with a red headband and a beautiful bow on the top.

The little girl looks pink, and she looks pleasing to people.

The boy was a little shy, probably because the strangers came to the house and were a little uncomfortable, but the little girl was fine, her big blue eyes blinked and looked around, and she didn't recognize her life at all.

The hostess beckoned everyone to sit down, it was only morning, and the guests had made a surprise attack, so they would not bring salt and bread to entertain them.

The hostess prepared coffee, instant, freshly ground coffee, and candy and a plate of apples on the coffee table.

The host's family was warmly entertained, Zhang Nan was going to go deep into the grassroots this time, and he had prepared a lot of gifts, Guan Xingquan took it from the entourage waiting at the door, and Ivanovich accepted it very gratefully on behalf of his family.

A large hamper of imported fruits and chocolates, as well as a bottle of fine red wine.

After a little bit of coffee and apples, Zhang Nan smiled and asked the Ivanovich couple sitting on the folding chair opposite: "How big is this house?"

It must have taken a lot of thought to set it up so warmly. By the way, Ivan, when was this house allocated?"

Ivanovich already understands why the boss came to their house, so tell the truth and say what he wants to know.

"Boss, this house is 44 square meters, which is considered a standard two bedroom.

On the opposite side of the aisle are one-bedroom units, only 30 square meters, and the houses in this area are all of this structure, with two bedrooms on one side and single bedrooms opposite.

I was 24 years old when I was first assigned to the lieutenant, and the family of the senior officer who had been living here moved to the Brezhnev House in better conditions..."

Ivanovich's English is average, and he will simply speak in Russian, anyway, there is a good translation here.

After listening to him, Zhang Nan said: "Your house reminds me of an interesting old movie that I have watched, that is, the one where the hero got drunk and flew from Moscow to Leningrad in a daze, and ended up opening the door and entering someone else's house, I can't remember what it is called." ”

Zhang Nan couldn't remember, first, because he was not Russian. Andrei on the side said with a smile: "It's 75 years of "Tricks of Fate", a comedy with Soviet characteristics, and it is a very good movie. ”

It is really a characteristic comedy that can only happen in the Soviet Union, with a social basis: all Soviet cities have the same road names, the same house numbers, and the same Khrushchev Tower, even the height and size of the floors!

In that movie, the 38-year-old young male protagonist lives in a Khrushchev building in Moscow, and on Chinese New Year's Eve, he is drunk and accidentally boards a plane to Leningrad.

When the actor who was still drunk and had not yet woken up left the airport to take a taxi, he naturally reported the street and house number where his home was located, and the driver successfully sent him to the "home" in Leningrad.

What's more coincidental is that his key can even open the door - you must know that the pin lock is also mass-produced, how much more can a single row of teeth make?

When the real owner of the house, a single, 34-year-old hostess, returns home, she naturally makes a series of big jokes, and a relationship starts in the movie at the same time.

The movie is good, Zhang Nan plans to turn over the comedy later, it's also a pretty good memory, isn't it, and even wants to turn out "Office Story" to watch it.

The house seemed a little crowded, the hostess wanted to let the two children go out to play, Charlie seemed to think that the little girl was looking at each other, stopped the hostess, and asked the name of the lovely little girl called her aunt, and Ivanovich translated it to her daughter.

"Lilia, my name is Lilia, you can call me Lily. ”

The little girl's Russian Zhang Nan understood, and there was a group of Russians around her all the year round, so she didn't need to learn such simple daily language, and occasionally heard it with her ears, and she understood it.

"Well, Lily, you have the same name as my eldest daughter, and you must be a beautiful girl in the future!" Zhang Nan said with a smile, and said to the person on the side by the way: "It looks really similar to my Lily when she was so old!"

Don't say Zhang Nan's complicated English, even the simplest little girl can't understand it, listening to the adult's translation, I didn't think that the little girl opened her mouth and said: "Lily is beautiful now, and the aunts in the kindergarten say that I look cute and beautiful!"

Several people who knew Russian laughed, Andrei translated the little girl's words, and Zhang Nan and Charlie also laughed from the bottom of their hearts.

In Russia, it is rude to laugh inexplicably, but laughter from the heart is the most popular.

Charlize Theron felt more cute the little girl the more she looked at it, so she beckoned, "Come, Lily, come to Auntie, Auntie will give you a little gift." ”

I'm still a girl, and I'm familiar with Aunt Chong, and I'm used to it at home.

"Don't refuse what the boss gives" here is one thing that all the people who serve Zhang Nan know, and Ivanovich's wife still wants her daughter to refuse, but her husband stops her.

This boss is not simple, he has to follow people's wishes, and Miss Charlie wants to give gifts here, and it is also best not to refuse.

The little girl is not afraid of life, she is stronger than his brother, so she stands in front of the aunt in front of her who feels quite tall when she sits.

She didn't understand the words of the beautiful aunt, but it was quite pleasing to the eye.

"Lily, Auntie gave you a bow and a small hairpin, can you wear it?"

After a pause, the girl glanced at her parents, saw that the adults did not object, and gave Charlie a smile.

Little girl, you have to give her a beautiful bow, of course she likes it.

Letting the little girl turn around, Charlize Theron took out a small box from her satchel that contained a spare hairpin for her when she went out.

Small, much smaller than the one with her hair tied at the back of her head.

Bow shape, simple structure, is two circles connected together, shiny on the top, inlaid with some red gemstones.

Among the people in the living room, except for the Ivanovichs who were a little stunned, everyone else felt normal, although it was a jeweled hairpin, God knows how much it was worth!

Helping the little girl tie it up, Charlie looked left and right, smiled and said, "Well, the size is just right." Look in the mirror and see if you like it?"

Ivanovich was a little embarrassed, but before the couple could speak, Charlize Theron said, "Just a small gift, Lily likes it." ”

Zhang Nan also said on the side: "Charlie doesn't have a hundred hairpins, but at least eighty, so it's good for the little girl to like it."

By the way, I've heard that your houses are only designed to last 25 years, so I think it's okay. ”

It's really a gadget, he saw Charlie wearing this hairpin a few days ago, and joked about how she changed sex, and usually doesn't want the bigger the diamonds and rubies on this jewelry and accessories, the better.

It's just such a small thing, the biggest stone on the top is the size of a mung bean, don't chase fashion?

As a result, Charlie told him, "Dear Alan dies first, I am fashion!"

This is the latest bellwether, simplicity is the truth. A small thing of about 10,000 dollars is better to sell than dozens or millions of jewels at every turn..."

said domineeringly, with a good marketing concept: how many people will buy and afford a hairpin of millions of dollars?

An outstanding design, even if the price is low, it will make money if it sells more, not to mention that $10,000 is actually a lot!

That's a lot, and the annual income of a middle-class American family is only how much it is.

A $10,000 hairpin is an absolute luxury, so Zhang Nan said that he was so much that he forgot who he was!

If the money is not money, it is about to leave the grassroots.

This hairpin is not inlaid with rubies, but relatively cheap and high-quality red spinels, each of which is not large, and is mainly sold for creativity and branding.

The boss here changed the topic, and Ivanovich had to follow the line: "The house should have been built in 72, and it would have been many years since Khrushchev fell, but the "Brezhnev Building" has not yet been built on a large scale.

Our houses are made of prefabricated panels, but including prefabricated panels, are built by the army's own construction team, and the quality is the best, and it is not a big problem to live in them for forty or fifty years.

For the time being, it is enough to live, and after three or five years to save some money, the children will find a way to change houses when they are older. ”

Prefabricated boards, the concept of Huaxia is those "prefabricated boards" used for the upper and lower floors of the house, and here, even the walls are there, and the house is made of a large board and a large board.

A family of one man, one girl and two children, this eldest son lives in the deputy bedroom, the little girl and her parents in a room, and it is not very convenient to be older, and you need a three-bedroom suite.

Ivanovich's income is very good in today's Moscow, and after a few years, he can buy a house with all the money: the three-bedroom "Brezhnev Building" in Moscow is only seventy or eighty square meters.

Now the future of the ruble is dark, the most reliable house transaction is the dollar, and half of the company's salary to Ivanovich and others is in hard currency dollars.

However, in the last year or two, there has been no new construction of housing in Moscow, and the "Brezhnev Building", which is more than 10 to dozens of stories high, was built from the second half of the Brezhnev era until the Soviet Union was killed by Brother Tu, which is still a good choice for the time being.

His employees are doing okay, at least Ivanovich's family, Zhang Nan feels good.

After sitting for a while, I will say goodbye to this hostess and the two little ones, and go to two places.

I went downstairs and was about to get into the car, and I heard several elderly Russian aunts discussing something in a slightly excited tone dozens of meters away.

"What are they talking about?"

Zhang Nan asked Andre below.

The latter frowned, and said with a small smile: "They are scolding something, a few days ago there was an advertisement in the newspaper that an American opened a stripping school in Moscow, and it turned out to be on the third floor of the nearby market.

Today the school is registered, that... It's overcrowded, there are husbands who go with their wives, and there are fathers who take their daughters to sign up..."

Andrei's tone was flat, and he couldn't hear any emotion.

The world is going down!

Zhang Nan shook his head, and then got in the car and left.

The convoy drove out of the community, and Zhang Nan looked at the city of Moscow outside the window, "Fortunately, I was here when it was still the Soviet Union." ”
