"Why do you want to take a picture with me?" asked Putin, who instinctively cared about such things as a group photo.

"I ......" Jia Lei's face turned white, you must know that Putin is a big agent, and it is too abrupt for him to come up so recklessly.

"My nephew likes your university very much, and I hope he can come here to study in the future, but in fact, he just admires the teachers here and wants to take a photo with the teachers here. In fact, I would like to take a picture with you myself, so that when I go back, I can tell my family that this is a teacher at Leningrad University!" Su Renfeng said with a smile, what he said was the idea of an ordinary tourist, and because he was telling the truth, it seemed very real.

Putin took a look at the children whose faces were pale and didn't say a word since he was frightened just now, and felt that he was too strict and sensitive to scare the children, so Putin decided to fulfill the wishes of the foreign guests and children to take a photo with him.

After all, there are still many occasions when Putin needs to take a group photo as the president's foreign affairs assistant, and he has not made abnormal actions such as refusing to take a group photo forever in order not to let people find out about the abnormality.

In this way, Jia Lei stood beside Putin the Great and took a photo with him when his head was fascinated, leaving a precious group photo.

The only pity is that because Jia Lei was too nervous at the time, the expression on his face was not well controlled! Looking like an idiot, every time Jia Lei saw this precious group photo, he wanted to be reborn again......

"Jia Lei is going to eat, come and wash your hands!" shouted Natasha.

"Okay, come right away!" Jia Lei ran to the bathroom to wash his hands, but the strange thing was that he only washed his left hand.

"No, you have to wash my right hand today!" Su Renfeng suddenly appeared at the door of the bathroom and said to Jia Lei.

"My right hand is not too stolen, just wipe it!" Jia Lei said indifferently.

"You haven't washed your hands for three days since you came back from Leningrad, and as soon as I asked you to wash your hands on the train, you said that it was inconvenient on the train and that you didn't bother to wash it, and that the water on the train was cold! I put up with it! But you still don't wash your hands when you come to my house, and that's too much. Su Renfeng said outside the bathroom.

Jia Lei is now in Natasha's newly bought apartment building in Ussuriysk, which is a large two-bedroom apartment with a living room of 70 square meters, which was one of the best buildings in the Soviet Union in 1990. Ussuriysk, known in Chinese as Shuangchengzi, is only an hour and a half away from Jia Lei's hometown of Sanchakou Town, Dongning City.

"I ...... I'll wash it next time!" Jia Lei ran out of the bathroom after speaking, but Su Renfeng had been waiting for him to stop Jia Lei.

"Since you won't wash your hands, I'll wash them for you. As he spoke, Su Renfeng pulled Jia Lei into the bathroom and took out his right hand that Jia Lei hid behind him and put it under the faucet, washing it carefully several times, and he even gave Jia Lei soap twice.

"Don't! I don't wash my hands, this is Putin's big hand!" Jia Lei said with a hard struggle.

"Putin is just an ordinary school teacher, why can't he wash the hands he has shaken, even if it is the emperor's handshake! Eat without washing your hands, aren't you afraid of diarrhea?" Su Renfeng said, and then he let go of Jia Lei, who had been washed.

"My hand! Putin's big shake is gone......," Jia Lei held his right hand, sad hand.

What a cruel thing to be a fan of Putin the Great!!

"Stop the ink, hurry up and eat, my mom said she wants to see you today." Su Renfeng said.

"Why is my aunt coming to Ussuriysk?" Jia Lei looked up and asked.

"My mother doesn't come, it's you who go back! My mother and your third grandfather want to see you, especially my mother brought you the sweater and pants she made for you to see you put them on, and she said that if there is something inappropriate, she can take it back and change it." Su Renfeng said, Jia Lei understood.

"I also want to see what is trending in the market lately. Jia Lei said.

＊＊＊＊

Jia Lei's hometown is too close to Russia, so close that it is only separated by a boundary river.

Hubutu River is also known as "Wusha River", Manchu language for "flowing Shajin River", is the easternmost Sino-Russian boundary river in China, a total length of 114 kilometers, the boundary river part is 99 kilometers long, the basin area is 1732 square kilometers, although it is a small river more than 5 meters wide, it is a first-class river on the origin of Suifen River.

Jia Lei was on the east bank of the Boundary River at this time, and less than five meters on the opposite side was the land of Huaxia!

"Grandma, where are they? Why didn't I see it!" Jia Lei stood by the river, stretched his neck, looked left and right, but he didn't see anyone.

"Are you stupid! Now we are standing near the gate, you wait for me to park the car first! I will take you there when the time comes" Su Renfeng said with a smile, and then he parked Natasha's pickup truck in the parking lot near the border trade zone.

"You sit up and I'll take you, it's a bit far away. Su Renfeng pushed out a bicycle from a nearby shop and said.

Jia Lei could only climb up to the back seat of the bicycle like a stupid bear, and then Su Renfeng pedaled the bicycle hard and walked forward.

There is no road next to the boundary river, there are stones and grass piles everywhere, Jia Lei sat on the bicycle and his butt hurt before turning into a path.

"Ouch, it's still comfortable on the road, at least there aren't so many stones. Jia Lei said.

"The patrol team has to walk this road every day, and of course they have to clear all the stones!" Su Renfeng said.

"Patrol! Do you say this is the patrol route of the patrol? We are going to pick up something, we can be regarded as smuggling! You still dare to walk on the patrol road! You don't want to die?" Jia Lei was so frightened that he hurriedly said.

"It's not that serious, in fact, we all have border citizen certificates, and it's easy to pass the customs, but everyone thinks it's too troublesome to pass the customs and have to queue up and check, so they don't go over there, there are many people there, no problem." Su Renfeng said.

Jia Lei couldn't imagine what it would be like at all!

Su Renfeng didn't tell a lie, Jia Lei and they also met a pair of Russian patrols on the road, Su Renfeng greeted them with a smile in Russian, and then threw them a box of mass production cigarettes and went over.

After a few minutes of riding, the bike stopped near a beach, where the river is narrower, the embankment on both sides is gentle, the gravel on the bank of the river has been cleared, and dozens of people on both sides of the river are waiting for people to talk.

Jia Lei glanced up at the neighborhood and found that there were two patrolmen on each side standing guard on the shore.

"What kind of place is this? Why don't you go to the border trade zone and come here?" asked Jia Lei.

"Why is this river so narrow and long, there are smugglers every day, and then the above is troublesome, so they simply set a few places to exchange things directly here, and the two sides will send people to guard it, so as to see what everyone is exchanging. Su Renfeng said.

"What if there are items that are not allowed to be traded?" Jia Lei asked curiously.

"This river is more than 90 kilometers long, just find a random place, and throw it directly while the patrol is not there, and it is impossible for the armies of both sides to be full of people on the bank of the river for more than 90 kilometers. Su Renfeng explained that under the huge benefits, neither barbed wire nor guns can stop the smuggling of goods.

"Jia Lei! Jia Lei! I'm here. Jia Lei suddenly heard someone on the other side of the river calling his name, and he looked up to see Aunt Chun Xing waving to him on the bank of the river a few meters away.

"Auntie, I'm here, I'm here!" Jia Lei hurriedly ran to the opposite side of Jia Chunxing, jumped up and waved to her.

"Oh! My aunt and grandmother haven't seen you for half a year, and you've lost weight. Aunt Chunxing looked at Jia Lei across the boundary river and said.

"My aunt, I still have a fur coat on me, how can you tell that I'm thin, I'm not thin, I'm eating well. Jia Lei hurriedly said.

"What's the matter with that scar on your head? I heard Xiao Er say that someone opened your head?" the third master also asked on the other side.

"No, it's just that someone else accidentally got scratched by a broken piece of porcelain when they were fighting, and you can see it's all right! Jia Lei said and took off his hat to show them the scar on his forehead.

"Put it on! Put your hat on! Don't blow the wind, Auntie, I knitted a woolen hat for you, and you will wear it later to be warmer than your hat." Aunt Chunxing said, picked up a big bag from the ground, threw it hard, and landed less than half a meter at Jia Lei's feet.

Jia Lei didn't expect his aunt and grandmother to come this time, and when he saw a big bag flying over, he hurriedly took two steps back in the opposite direction.

"Haha! This baby is the first time to come back at first glance, and she is too timid! Someone on the other side laughed at Jia Lei and said.

"Wu Niu, what are you talking nonsense, what's wrong with our baby, our baby is not a bear at all, and he has even been to country M, have you been to country M?" the third master asked rhetorically.

"Isn't it just going abroad? I've been abroad, too. Wu Niu said.

"What do you mean by that, you've been abroad...... When you go abroad, you have to wade across the river to the other side and go around. Third Master Jia exposed his old bottom and said.

"Oops! I'm scared to death! Auntie, why don't you say anything when you throw something?" Jia Lei complained.

"It's okay, it's all sweaters and pants inside, and it doesn't hurt at all. Jia Chunxing waved his hand and said, at this time, Su Renfeng had already opened the baggage and shook all the things inside in front of the patrols on both sides.

"Second cousin, what are you doing here?" Jia Lei asked curiously.

"Tell the soldiers on both sides to see if there is no contraband, this is the rule!" Su Renfeng said.

Jia Lei thinks that's right, if both sides can throw things casually, then what do you need to do with the border.

"Xiao Er, are you going to give Jia Lei a sweater and pants to compare the length?" Jia Chunxing shouted on the other side of the river, Su Renfeng asked Jia Lei to take off his coat and compare his sweater and woolen pants on Jia Lei.

"The sweater is just a little short, and I'm afraid I won't be able to wear it next year after wearing it this year. Su Renfeng said loudly, and Aunt Chunxing nodded approvingly on the other side of the river.

"Ahem, ahem!," As soon as his coat was taken off, Jia Lei was blown by the cold wind, and couldn't help but have an itchy throat and coughed again.

"I forgot that Jia Lei had a cold, Xiao Er quickly put on his coat. Aunt Chunxing said anxiously, Su Renfeng hurriedly put on the clothes for Jia Lei.

"Does he take medicine every day now? If it's really bad, don't forget to take Jia Lei to the hospital for injections. The aunt told her son.

"Got it, Mom!" Su Renfeng hurriedly agreed.

"I don't like injections, I'll just take some medicine. It's just a little cold and a little problem that will be cured quickly, and you don't have to go to the hospital. Jia Lei hurriedly said that these days, doctors always like to give injections to children with colds instead of hanging bottles.

"That's right! You can go back and let Natasha cook the brown sugar ginger water I prepared for you, and I will also prepare salted duck eggs and pickled vegetable buns for you! After Aunt Chunxing finished speaking, she picked up a long special bamboo pole from the nearby big stone, hung a basket on it, and asked Wu Niu to hand it over to Jia Lei.

"Oh my God, the wisdom of the people is boundless. Jia Lei looked at the bamboo pole and said in surprise, the person opposite obviously often does this kind of thing.

Along the way, the basket didn't shake much at all, and the things such as salted duck eggs and pickle cans that were inconvenient to throw were handed to a protruding big stone, and Su Renfeng climbed the big stone to take down the basket and take it down.

"By the way, Mom, Jia Lei came back from the gift that he brought to you from country M, so you can take it back. After Su Renfeng finished speaking, he put the gift that Jia Lei brought back into the basket and hung it on the bamboo pole.

In this way, the two sides quickly completed an exchange, which is much more convenient than in the border trade zone, no need to queue or check, no wonder these people do not go to the border trade zone.

Jia Lei looked at the orderly small area and thought, these people are throwing their burdens in one place, and they are sending baskets in one place, and they are very skilled at first glance! This place has existed for a long time.

"Mom, you throw me a cigarette, I'm done with it. Su Renfeng shouted.

"It's just you have a lot to do! Wait!" Su Chunxing went to a nearby merchant carrying a burden to buy a cigarette and threw it over, Su Renfeng opened it and gave each of the two Russian soldiers a box, and then took out four salted duck eggs from the things sent by Jia Chunxing and put them in a basket near the soldiers.

Jia Lei curiously leaned over to see that there was everything in the basket, including food such as apples, eggs, and candy, as well as cigarettes, tea, sausages, canned food, and so on.

"Is there a tax on this?" asked Jia Lei in surprise.

"This is not a tax, but the above has given us an easy turn of a blind eye, and we always have to show to the soldiers standing guard that there is no trouble! Su Renfeng pointed to the Chinese soldiers on the opposite side and said.

Jia Lei, Aunt Chunxing, and the third grandfather talked for more than ten minutes across the boundary river before reluctantly leaving, because this time the bicycle needed to carry a basket, and Jia Lei had to sit in front.

The bicycle took Jia Lei back, and during this period, many people came and left on both sides of the Jiehe River. Most of these people are relatives and acquaintances, and they talk across the boundary river, occasionally sending each other some daily necessities and food, which looks particularly harmonious.

＊＊＊＊

"Why don't you let everyone go to the free trade zone?

"There is no way, the residents on both sides of the river have been doing this for hundreds of years! Unless you catch them red-handed and throw something, they're just talking to what they can do! After all, after hundreds of years of intermarriage, many families in the villages on both sides have relatives on the other side of the river. Su Renfeng explained to Jia Lei.
