Chapter 786: Old Northeast
Kristina is the granddaughter of Sergei's older brother.
His brother has passed away, and now he is the only grandfather of the little girl. The ethical tradition of the Russians is not weaker than ours.
The old man stood downstairs and yelled a few times, and soon a stout young version of Sergei appeared at the window and looked down.
The old Sergei scolded the young Sergei with a slap in the face.
It turned out that the young Sergei lost his income because of the shutdown of the factory, his wife ran away, drank and got drunk at home every day, and the care of the two children was completely free-range, and it would be good to be able to deal with it by cooking some food and feeding him, while the old Sergei couldn't cook, and his wife had been dead for several years.
Now the young Sergei gnaws at the old man at his uncle's place, and the price he pays is to cook some food, and the old Sergei usually takes care of his grandchildren. But after all, he is old, and today Cressa walked out wearing the clothes left by his grandmother, if he hadn't been sent back by Zhang Xingming, I don't know when I would find out. You must know that Soviet Russia is not calm now.
It's not just China, there are traffickers, big bad guys, stinky hooligans, everywhere. And the last thing the country lacks is alcoholics.
After a while, Xu Xiaoya and Tang Xin came out of the cave, Cressa was holding a little boy who was a head shorter than her, and the little boy was holding a sausage in his hand and gnawing on it, and his chin was greasy with meat residue.
Zhang Xingming asked old Sergei: "Is the life of people here already so difficult now?"
Old Sergei was a little sad and said: "Yes, as you can see, people are hungry and have to wait for everything, and children have no clothes and toys. Factories were shut down on a large scale, and unemployed children hid at home and drank every day. The women all ran out and exchanged their bodies for bread. We are a little better, we all have some savings, this is what my Chinese friends taught me, so that the family has surplus food and do not panic. ”
Another balding old man on the side said, "Yes, now you can't buy anything even if you have money, bread, beer, meat, all have to be limited." Although Ukraine has the most pork in the whole of Soviet Russia, you still have to wait in line and wait for documents to tell you how much you can buy. Unless you go to a fine dining restaurant, Falck, that place is a demon with a big mouth, and a piece of bacon costs a few kilograms of meat. ”
Zhang Xingming said: "Even if it's so difficult, why don't you want to leave?"
Old Sergei said: "Where can we go? This is the case throughout Eastern Europe, and now, the once great Russians are not welcome, and they loudly call us liars and executioners. Now that there is chaos everywhere, our great Party Central Committee has gone so far as to lick the butt of the bald eagle, and the way of the world is about to change. Maybe tomorrow morning when you wake up, the great Soviet is gone, with the Star-Spangled Banner flying everywhere. Who knows. ”
The bald old man said: "The people of Bonan are going to overthrow the Communist Party, they want democracy, they want to engage in multi-party, they want capitalism, and then where is it? Chov is a sinner, he went so far as to ask for the help of the bald eagles, he even wanted to overthrow our entire system and carry out capitalist privatization, what kind of democracy they wanted, sooner or later the great Soviet Russia will be destroyed in his hands, let's wait and see." ”
Old Sergei said: "What else? Maybe it is better to feed the people than nothing." There was a massive shutdown of factories, production materials were left there to rot, and there was nothing left of the living materials.
Look at our home, everything we can buy and can buy back is all Chinese products, because we don't have them. Even if it's just a bar of soap or a towel, you have to buy a Chinese one. The great Soviet Russia could build big planes, tanks, planes, and huge artillery, but it couldn't produce soap and towels. Even glass products have to be limited. ”
He looked up at Zhang Xingming and asked, "Are you a rich man who belongs to China? You can't be an official at your age." Is China capitalist now?"
Zhang Xingming said, "No, China is socialist. However, China began to reform and open up in '78, allowing the development of the private economy. Now the life of the Chinese people is getting better and better, the food stamp and supply system have disappeared, all walks of life are developing very well, the government attaches great importance to the people's livelihood, tries to improve the people's living standards, and the balanced development of light and heavy industries.
China is trying to join the world business, and Chinese products are going to the world, including John and Bald Eagle, and of course, Soviet Russia. China has opened up its coastal cities, welcomed people from all over the world to invest and do business, and supported people to go out and look at the world. ”
The bald old man asked, "China's heavy industry has not stopped production?
Zhang Xingming said: "Why stop production? No, no, how is it possible. China's industry is still making great strides forward, actively replacing equipment and technology, expanding scale and production capacity, the whole country is developing rapidly, and the market demand is expanding. Saturated? No. ”
Old Xie Ergai asked: "Then how does China resolve the contradiction between the private economy and the public economy? These are fundamentally two completely different economic models, enemies and opponents, and a life-and-death war between capitalism and socialism." ”
Zhang Xingming said: "Why do you say that? Why do we have to fight? These two economic models do not conflict at all, not only do they not conflict, but they can also complement each other very well. At present, China is developing in a development model dominated by the public-owned economy and supplemented by the private-owned economy, with fair competition and rational coexistence among each other, and developing at the same time. Over the past 10 years or so, the reform has achieved quite remarkable results, and the whole of China is thriving. ”
Old Sergei frowned and thought for a while and said, "You didn't bluff me?"
Zhang Xingming said: "No, how can this bluff people? There are news reports all over the world, don't you usually read newspapers?"
The bald old man shook his head and said, "The newspapers will not publish this, the newspapers will only repeatedly say that Soviet Russia is very strong, very strong, and socialism will eventually win." The news from Eastern Europe came privately. I have comrades working over there. Bonan. ”
Sergey Sr. said: "Every day the newspapers say that the reform line of the Central Committee is positive and correct, that it will completely change the lives of the people of Soviet Russia, and that we will live a happy and prosperous life, with sufficient materials and a comfortable economy. But now it's getting harder and harder, and sometimes you can't buy bread for days. More and more families are going hungry. Factories are shut down, people are unemployed. ”
Zhang Xingming said: "I came from Bonan. In the past few months, I have been under pressure from John to the Czech Republic, Bonan, and East Germany, and I have looked everywhere, and I have also come into contact with some high-level figures, and I have a fairly good understanding of the current situation in Eastern Europe. ”
