Chapter 784: Ukraine
June 24, 89.
Ukraine, Kovov.
Spring is long in the north, the mountains are covered with greenery, and the wind is still a little strong, but there is already a warmth.
Ukraine is the most important industrial region of Soviet Russia, and of the nearly 5,000 large-scale industrial enterprises built in Russia's 15252 Five-Year Plan, Ukraine alone occupies nearly 1,700, accounting for more than one-third of the entire Soviet Russian industry.
The entire territory of Ukraine is covered with power grids and power stations, thermal power, hydropower, nuclear power. One of the most famous is the Chernobyl power station, which quickly developed a miniature town into an advanced industrial town, and then disappeared overnight, and the whole of Pripyat was closed and will continue to be closed, and thousands of people have lost their lives due to nuclear contamination.
Large factories and schools are located in almost all cities of Ukraine, and it can be said that before the eighties, Ukraine was a jewel of the world's industrial process.
But the state of society in Ukraine at this time as a whole was the same as in the early eighties at home.
Although the industry is incomparably strong, the people's livelihood is seriously insufficient, and the materials are scarce, and the common people live in low-slung wooden asbestos tile houses, wearing work clothes, and the materials are all supplied by plan. However, people are poor but optimistic, and this is an era of living in the spiritual world.
On the streets of the city, it is not uncommon to see children digging mushrooms and selling them on the roadside in residential areas, hoping to exchange some change.
Densely packed with power lines in the air, old and dirty urban areas, uneven city roads and trams, old four-story buildings are covered in dust and water stains.
Leisurely old people play chess on street benches, and young people gather to play the accordion and saxophone. Statues and portraits of Lenin fill the city.
Everywhere there are spontaneous markets of residents, where old people set up roadside stalls selling a few garlic heads, and children look at food and swallow saliva with dirty faces and ill-fitting adult clothes. The female doll looked greedily at the dolls in the window, the farmer's market was deserted, and people came to the street to put out what they could sell at home for money, including worn leather shoes and used glasses, clothes, and books.
Wang Sheng accompanied Zhang Xingming to wander around, looked at the thick dust on the upper of his shoes and spit out: "It's really special here, it feels more powerful than ours, doesn't it mean that our cup is the most polluted city in the world? How can it feel much cleaner than here?"
Zhang Xingming said: "Let's play a role in the heart, anyway, how can a large industrial city be clean in these years, you look at this big chimney full of sky, can it be clean? It turns out that at the beginning of the industrial revolution, the whole city was wrapped in cigarettes all year round, and this is the price of industry, and when it develops, the government should be governed." ”
Wang Sheng said: "Ah? What is the pollution of foreign countries? It doesn't mean that Europe is very prosperous everywhere, the streets are spotless, the air is clean, there are many trees, and the rivers are clear and you can see the bottom at a glance. There is gold everywhere, and those who ask for food are better than us. ”
Zhang Xingming turned his head to look at Wang Sheng and asked, "Who are you listening to?"
Wang Sheng said: "It's okay, everyone is chatting together, they all listen to what relatives and friends say." Isn't that right?"
Zhang Xingming thought for a while and said, "You have been in Europe for the past two years, don't you know?"
Wang Sheng was stunned for a moment, thought for a while, and said: "Yes, fuck, this is the whole thing, I've been in Europe, and this is also Europe, isn't it? How can this be so good? This head feels that it is difficult to even eat, and it is not as good as in China." Look at the kid over there, that face probably hasn't been washed for half a month, wearing that clothes, it should be his grandmother's, right?"
Zhang Xingming turned his head to look over, a little girl with a pair of big eyes, a six or seven year old, wearing a red women's dress, rolling up her sleeves to expose her hands, this is very good, one top two, even pants are saved. The little girl stood there, looking at Zhang Xingming's group of people without blinking.
Zhang Xingming looked at his group of people, there was nothing wrong, what was this girl looking at without blinking?
Li Chun looked back and forth and said, "We are dressed so well, unlike everyone here." ”
Tang Xin said: "No, children won't care about this, I guess she is staring at the food bag in Honghua's hand, she must know this kind of packaging." "A few people just went shopping and bought some sausages and bread. Wheat products in Ukraine are especially tasty, and it should be a matter of light.
The sausages here are not like the feeling of being full of starch in China, but the visible pieces of meat and diced meat, which feel like they were chopped out with a kitchen knife. It tastes great.
Czechs don't eat things like sour cucumbers, Ukraine is the opposite, anything can be sour, have you ever eaten sour watermelon?
People here also eat dumplings, which is similar to our domestic practice, but the filling is strange, you must be careful when you come here to eat dumplings, the sweet filling is sour and sweet, and it is painful to eat for several days. And it is popular to eat dumplings dipped in yogurt. Ordinary people really can't accept it.
Wang Honghua glanced at the sausage bread in his hand, lifted it up and said to the little girl, "Do you want it?"
The girl obviously swallowed a large mouthful of saliva, with a panicked expression on her face, and took a few steps back, but did not run.
Zhang Xingming took the food bag from Wang Honghua's hand, took a sausage and handed it to Xu Xiaoya, Xu Xiaoya took the sausage and walked to the girl, maybe because Xu Xiaoya is a girl, maybe it is the desire for food that overcomes fear, the little girl didn't run, her throat kept squirming and looking at Xu Xiaoya who was approaching, the sausage in her hand.
"Fryriat, Flesigje for the Gaga. Xu Xiaoya smiled and waved at the little girl.
"Special pack hot. The little girl muttered.
Xu Xiaoya squatted in front of the little girl and handed her the sausage: "Come, I invite you to eat, the beautiful little girl should eat the best sausage." ”
"Roar Nenekinik. The little girl took a sip of saliva and swallowed it hard, and whispered.
Xu Xiaoya felt a sour nose, handed the sausage forward and said, "Don't need money, I'll invite a beautiful girl to eat, I like you." ”
The little girl moved her hands, but still resisted the urge to grab the sausage, and said, "Monez, Monez mother." ”
Xu Xiaoya said: "Now that we know each other, don't you like me?
The little girl thought about it for a while, nodded slightly, Xu Xiaoya handed the sausage to her and said, "A friend's gift cannot be refused." ”
The little girl finally held the sausage firmly in her hand, looked at Xu Xiaoya and said, "Silk Daxiwa." Yes, Deluke. ”
Xu Xiaoya stretched out her hand and hugged the girl in her arms and said, "Enda, Luke." Henme. He picked up the little girl, put the sausage in her hand to her mouth, and said, "Eat, why don't you eat?"
The little girl looked at the sausage and swallowed her saliva again and said, "I want to share it with my brother, I am my sister." ”
