If there is good, there will be positivity!

My rabbit has always been procrastinating, and the officials with cumbersome procedures moved unexpectedly quickly this time, Jia Lei only had time to sleep in the capital, and was pulled on the plane by Professor Wang early the next morning.

"Why don't you stay in the hospital to recuperate, why are you going to join in the fun?" Jia Lei asked as he stared at Professor Wang.

"When I was studying in Moscow, my teachers and classmates were very kind to me, and I went with you this time to see my teachers and classmates. Professor Wang said.

"Since you're just going to take a look, why are you bringing so many things? Do you want to be a fallen master?" Jia Lei asked, twitching the corners of his mouth, looking at the various clothes and daily necessities that Professor Wang brought on the plane.

"I heard that there was a shortage of clothes and daily necessities, so I brought some gifts for the teachers and classmates. Professor Wang said embarrassedly.

"You've been too thoughtful, haven't you? You even brought a hot water bottle!" Jia Lei said as he looked at all kinds of particularly practical "gifts".

"Hey! When I went abroad to study, my family was not particularly rich, and my teachers and classmates often asked me to go to their house for dinner to improve my life, and in my memory, everything in school was good! It was just that the weather in Moscow was too cold...... Professor Wang began to recall.

In Professor Wang's recollection, the universities in Moscow are both beautiful and cultural, and the teachers always wear well-fitting suits to give lectures to them, but when you arrive in the laboratory, the professor can pull you without going out for a week.

"I remember that Moscow was very elegantly designed, with fountains, sculptures, flower beds, and a wide street that could accommodate six cars at once. I wonder what has become of Moscow now?" Professor Wang said with some anticipation.

"You'll know when you look at it...... I'm afraid you're going to be disappointed!" Jia Lei said with a headache.

"Is the situation in country E really that bad now? Moscow is the capital anyway? Isn't it too chaotic?" asked Professor Wang.

"It's because it's the capital, and those rural areas have long been taken over by the local government, and ordinary people can't make trouble. But Moscow is still a dual government, where marches and demonstrations are commonplace, because the economy is bad, and Moscow is full of gangsters, so if you want to go out, you have to bring a bodyguard. Jia Lei told him.

"This ...... I'm just an ordinary university professor, what kind of bodyguards do I bring with me?" Professor Wang asked uncomfortably.

"In the eyes of those bad guys, the Chinese in Moscow are rich! The average salary in Moscow is now less than 10,000 rubles, or less than $25. Even if you don't have dollars in your pocket, you always have RMB, right? I don't believe it, don't you bring a few hundred yuan in your pocket for travel expenses when you go abroad?" asked Jia Lei.

"You're right! Because I heard that Moscow now uses US dollars for transactions, I deliberately brought 500 US dollars from China, and only 200 yuan from China. Professor Wang said.

"$500 is a lot, and now the salary of a professor in Moscow is only 5,000 rubles, which is just over $15, and $500 is enough for you to spend. Jia Lei explained.

"Oh my God, it's only $15 a month, how can I live? I still have a salary of 800 yuan a month in China, and I can get 200 dollars a month plus bonuses and subsidies. Professor Wang asked in surprise.

"I don't know much about this, so you can ask for yourself then. However, the food of Eross is not expensive, and 400 rubles can buy a large piece of brown bread, which can be eaten for two days. Jia Lei thought for a while and comforted Professor Wang and said.

Of course, such cheap food prices in Moscow stem from high government subsidies!

"Well, luckily they can still eat......" Professor Wang sighed and stopped talking.

****

The plane soon landed at the Moscow airport, and Jia Lei and the people on the plane parted ways and went their own way.

"Go to Moscow University!" Jia Lei said as he sat in the car with Professor Wang.

"Okay! boss. Novan nodded and said.

The car quickly drove out of the airport, and as soon as he entered the downtown area of Moscow, Professor Wang began to introduce Jia Lei to the familiar scenery on both sides.

"It's Red Square, and when I was younger, I liked to go for a walk there, but unfortunately Moscow University has moved, and when I used to go to school on the old campus, I used to go to the nearby cathedral with my classmates to worship. At that time, the cathedral stipulated that women must wear skirts when they entered, and when I had a female classmate who went with us, she had to take off her coat and show the priest her inner skirt......" Professor Wang excitedly introduced to Jia Lei, who nodded in agreement.

The "squeak" car suddenly stopped with a sudden brake.

"What's going on, why did you stop?" asked Jia Lei.

"There's another march up ahead, I'm afraid we'll have to wait a little while before we can get over. Novan said.

"Hmm!" Jia Lei nodded to indicate that he understood.

He has seen this kind of thing a lot in the past two months and he doesn't care about it, but Professor Wang has seen it for the first time.

"What kind of parade??, how could such a thing happen on Moscow Street?" Professor Wang looked out of the car window curiously.

"We want a raise! We want a salary, we want to eat! I hope the government will pay the arrears immediately!" A group of well-mannered people walked down the street holding banners and shouting slogans, followed by a group of policemen who were blocking them from going to the city hall.

"Who are they? Why are they marching? How can I see a doctor in a white coat inside?" Professor Wang asked curiously as he walked to the side of the road and looked at the crowd of people marching.

"I don't know anything like this! Wait, I'll find someone to inquire about it for you. Jia Lei said helplessly, and then he took Professor Wang to a newsstand on the side of the road.

Since the liberalization of commerce, many small shops similar to domestic newsstands have suddenly popped up on the streets of Moscow, and the newsstand in front of Jia Lei is filled with all kinds of goods, such as perfumes, chocolates, cigarettes, beer, etc.

"Don't be too anxious, smoke a cigarette and relax!" Jia Lei said.

Then he picked up a pack of EST-cigarettes that were placed outside the window of the kiosk, took one out of it and handed it to Professor Wang.

"Hey, what's going on, how clean the streets of Moscow used to be, even when walking on the streets in winter, the shoes are clean, just like now the roadside is covered with snow, black and muddy, but no one cares!" Professor Wang said after lighting a cigarette and taking a puff.

"I've bought all of this box of cigarettes, give you money! The rest doesn't need to be looked for, just take it as a tip, I want to do something with you." Is it okay?", Jia Lei said, handing 1,000 rubles to the owner of the newsstand.

"Of course!" the boss took the money and nodded.

"Why are you buying so many cigarettes? You can't smoke at your age!" said Wang Lao frowned and looked at Jia Lei.

"Of course I don't smoke anymore, it's useful for me to buy cigarettes!" Jia Lei said with a roll of his eyes, and then he put the open box of cigarettes back in its place.

At this moment, a man from country E came over, he took out one of the cigarettes from the box of cigarettes placed in the window, and handed the boss more than forty roubles.

"This box of cigarettes has already been bought by the foreigner next to me, I'll get you a new box. The newsstand owner said and opened it with another box of cigarettes.

"I've bought all of this cigarette, you can get one for free, just answer a few of my questions. Jia Lei suddenly interjected.

The boss glanced at Jia Lei and put back the cigarette case in his hand with interest.

"Can I smoke for free? That's great! You can ask me whatever you want. The man immediately took the more than 40 rubles back into his arms and said happily.

"Grandpa, can you ask what you want to ask yourself?" Jia Lei said to Professor Wang, who walked over with a frown.

"Why did you only buy a cigarette?" Professor Wang asked an inexplicable question as soon as he opened his mouth, and Jia Lei and the man were stunned after hearing it.

"Huh...... Now Muscovites buy cigarettes, who doesn't buy them one by one? Only you foreigners can buy a whole box of cigarettes, and it's good that we ordinary people can smoke a cigarette once in a while. A box of cigarettes costs more than 400 rubles, and I only earn more than 200 rubles a day, how can I afford a whole box of cigarettes?" the man took a deep puff of his cigarette and said helplessly.

"How can the economy of country E be so bad? People in Moscow can't even afford a box of cigarettes? I remember when I came to study abroad, 1 ruble could be exchanged for 5.3 US dollars? Why is the ruble so worthless now?" Professor Wang said distressedly.

"You said that it was all decades ago, right? In the past, the ruble was made of gold, and of course it was worth a lot! We won't talk about it too long ago, let's just say that three years ago the ruble was worth more than the dollar. I don't understand why the value of our money has depreciated so quickly, I saved only 50,000 rubles ten years ago, but I spent it all from March last year to last month. The man said with a wry smile.

"Master, don't remember the past there, it's too cold outside, you better hurry up and ask about the matter!" Jia Lei rubbed his hands and reminded him.

"Yes, I'd like to ask what's going on with the people marching in the streets?" Professor Wang quickly asked.

"It's nothing, the government of country E owes these doctors and teachers their salaries, so they are marching in the streets to ask for their salaries! This is the third time this month, and the other workers have increased their salaries several times, but they have not increased much. The man said nonchalantly.

"Doctors and teachers are both indispensable professions in society, so why would the government owe them wages?" Professor Wang asked, puzzled.

"For our Excellency, only the army and the police are indispensable, and the doctors and professors, who are helpless, are not seen by him at all. They are now in the government's mind, and they are not as well paid as the workers who are so numerous!" the man explained.

"But this is not right! Without doctors, who will treat everyone? Without teachers, how will students study in the future? In this way, after a long time, the future of the country will ......be gone," Professor Wang said worriedly.

"Haha...... How ridiculous is that you, a foreigner, are worried about the future of our country?" said a young girl in her 20s, who took a cigarette from her cigarette case and lit it for herself.

"We've heard that you get free smoking when you answer a question, right?" his boyfriend asked, leaning over to him.

"Yes!" Jia Lei nodded.

"I used to work in the hospital, but the hospital hasn't paid me my salary for three months, in fact, even if I pay my salary, there is no way to treat patients without medicine in the hospital!" The Russian girl smiled after answering Professor Wang's question, and stuffed her puff of cigarette into her boyfriend's mouth.

"Well, this cigarette tastes good, let's save the money for cigarettes today and go buy a bottle of wine later." The couple held a cigarette and took turns smoking it while discussing.

"I still have a lot of cigarettes here, you can each take two more!" Jia Lei looked at the little couple in front of him smoking a cigarette, and said with a smile.

"Thank you! If you're not too young, I'd love to be your girlfriend. My sister is working as a girlfriend for a Chinese grandfather, and she gets $5 a day in pocket money? The man is in his 30s, but he is not married, and my sister is trying to marry him. After the nurse girl finished speaking, she took her boyfriend's hand and walked away.

"Whew! What do you say about being girlfriends, those girls are just mistresses for foreigners. A woman who came to buy something next to her said sarcastically.

"Don't say that, what's so bad about being a mistress, at least it's better than being a prostitute, isn't it? Lately a lot of country girls have come to Moscow to be prostitutes......" said the newsstand owner with a sigh.

"Boss, the procession has passed, and we can continue walking. Novan pressed Che Di, stuck his head out of the window and said to Jia Lei.

"Okay, we'll come now, and the boss will give you the rest of the cigarettes. After Jia Lei finished speaking, he pulled Professor Wang back into the car and walked away.

"These foreigners are really rich, this car is worth more than 400,000 US dollars as far as I know!" said the boss enviously as he looked at the back of Jia Lei's car.

After speaking, the boss picked up the cigarette box left by Jia Lei, carefully took out a cigarette from it and put it in his mouth to smoke, and then he carefully put the remaining four or five cigarette boxes back in their original places and continued to sell.

*****

Professor Wang finally came to Moscow University, where he had been thinking about his heart, and he couldn't help but go up and touch it as he looked at the magnificent gate.

"It's been more than 40 years, and the old campus has now been turned into a memorial hall, and after the founding of the People's Republic of China, I came to the new campus for further study? At that time, it was only three years old!" Professor Wang said, touching the wall under his hand.

"Who are you looking for, gentleman, and we don't allow ordinary citizens here?" said the school's janitor.

"Is Professor Pursil still there?" asked Professor Wang.

"Professor Pushier was gone ten years ago, he passed away. The doorman shook his head.

"Are Professor Naluria, Professor Sakharov and Professor Igor still there?" Professor Wang asked anxiously.

"Except for Professor Luria, everyone else is gone!" the doorman said, shaking his head.

"Professor Luria is in his 80s this year and will definitely not be in school. It seems that I will have to go to Rashid and Suniaev for them. A few of us were classmates, and when I came back after the founding of the People's Republic of China to study, they were still working as teaching assistants at the school! Professor Wang thought for a moment and said.

"People are still there, can you just ask?" Jia Lei said.

Professor Wang and the doorman inquired, these two people are indeed still teachers in the school, of course, with their qualifications, they are now professors.
