Chapter 421: Cheng Manli's Kizil Life

Cheng Manxiu came to her sister's humble house with her own softness, this exquisitely decorated cabin was owned by her dear classmates, and her sister and future brother-in-law were able to live here because of their support. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

My sister is really a big celebrity around Yang Mingzhi. It's a pity that the two simply said goodbye and left, and they just arrived at their destination, which is really a busy group.

"The two of them can't sit idle, and they don't know what new activities will happen tomorrow." Cheng Manli asked her sister to do it and poured her a cup of milk tea.

Cheng Manxiu felt fresh, and her sister really followed the local customs. The milk tea was salty, and she took a sip, and her stomach growled. Shi Jun and Cheng Manxiu looked at each other and smiled. "I see that my sister-in-law is hungry and hasn't eaten yet, daughter-in-law, you look at her thin appearance, you really should eat more meat to make up for it."

"you, I haven't married you yet." Cheng Manli smiled and pushed Shi Jun, speaking of which he said well, my sister is really thin. I really have to make a big dinner in the evening to treat her.

My father asked my sister to bring me a packet of lotus roots from my hometown, and it looked like they had been refrigerated. This is just an ordinary vegetable, but for the wanderers who are wandering and struggling abroad, it means the taste of hometown, and this lotus root is more symbolic - parents still love themselves.

Cheng Manli squatted down to lightly decorate the tears, and with this lotus root, she just stewed a pot of broth.

"Sister, are you crying?" The sister took pity, and the younger sister noticed her sister's abnormality.

"Nope." Cheng Manli stood up and spoke a little hesitantly. The two looked at each other, and for her, her sister who came from afar was the only relative she had seen in the past year.

"Sister, you're still crying." Saying this, Cheng Manli still couldn't hold back. No matter what, no matter how strong she is, she is only nineteen years old. The two girls hugged each other again, which made Shi Jun on the side very distressed, could it be that this is the joy of not being able to reunite with their families for a long time? The airport cried once, and now it's again. The daughter-in-law's crying pear blossoms with rain really make people fall in love.

"Don't cry, there's not much food left at home. Ali, our sister is here, why don't you just go out for a stroll and go to the supermarket. ”

"Yes, yes, yes." Cheng Manli wiped her eyes and pulled her sister's wrist, "Xiu'er, let's go, let's take a look at where your sister and I live." ”

The three of them left the house and headed for the largest supermarket in Kyzyl.

Kizil belongs to the plateau but not the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and the temperature difference between day and night here is very large in summer, and the temperature is only 10 degrees at night, and it may exceed 35 degrees at noon. It was now evening, and the Siberian wind had crossed the Sayan Mountains and blew the entire Tangnu Ulianghai Sea, causing Cheng Manxiu to sneeze.

"It's better to bear with it for the time being, you have to wear thicker clothes at night in this climate." Cheng Manli saw that her sister had put on a coat, but unfortunately it was still relatively thin. When you come to Kizil, of course, you have to buy some local products, the wool textile industry here is very good, and the quality is better than the domestic one.

Cheng Manli and Shi Jun, the official work of the two is the assembly of the company. The two did not shy away from showing the cocoons on their hands, which shocked Cheng Manxiu. Co-authored sister sent back 3,000 yuan a month, it turned out to be the income of such hard work? Three thousand dollars is all hard-earned money. Is my sister tired, tired?

"I'm not tired, the cocoon is helpless, but the monthly income is equivalent to tens of thousands of yuan, and the company also takes care of the food." Her explanation was a long sigh of relief.

Cheng Manli didn't want her sister to guess that she was having a hard time in Tuva, so she pushed her sister into the supermarket.

With the prosperity of commerce and the improvement of consumption levels, the largest supermarket has become more and more abundant in goods from the beginning of the scattered goods. Russian, European, Chinese, shelves are stacked full.

The store manager has also kept pace with the times, and after a major expansion of the supermarket, it has become a comprehensive supermarket. He spent a lot of money to build a new house, and now there are many customers every day, and money is rolling in. The money is deposited in the Tuvan People's Bank, and the strength of Pugachev Besika Heavy Industry is obvious to all as a Tuvan person, and the bank they have a joint venture with the Tuvan authorities also has a lot of preferential treatment for the local people in Tuva, and it is very trustworthy.

For Tuva, the autonomous republic was the first to survive the economic crisis of 1998, and the new ruble has been widely recognized.

Cheng Manxiu was surprised to find that there were Chinese signs on the shelves in this supermarket. The price of the product is also marked in Chinese, and the symbol behind it is actually ¥. "Because there are many Chinese here, thousands of farmers from the Khakassian side come here to farm, and many of our compatriots' daily necessities are also here to buy." Cheng Manli explained.

"And the workers, or like me, who came to Russia looking for opportunities. The layout here is also a reference to our domestic supermarkets, where they not only accept RMB, but also US dollars and rubles. Shi Jun explained again.

Cheng Manxiu nodded as if he didn't understand, there is actually RMB in circulation here. Of course, the consumption here seems to be quite high, and the drink is actually ten yuan, and the text on it is like a tadpole.

Seeing that her sister liked it, Cheng Manli did not hesitate to throw her staring into the shopping cart. "The manufacturer of this drink is actually something you know, your classmate. The beverage is produced in Thailand, and Yang Mingzhi and star fruit are the major shareholders. ”

Cheng Manxiu shrugged, what he has seen and heard in the past few days is more and more strange. The brothers and sisters of the Yang family obviously have a very high status in this unknown country, but they are low-key and flamboyant, each one is crazier than the other, as if the world they live in is different from their own.

Tuva's specialty is a wide variety of dairy products, fermented cheese, yogurt and highly concentrated pure milk, which come from the local source of Tuva.

There are also fruits that are glued with plastic wrap, and there are not many varieties, after all, it is still too cold here.

In the evening, Russians and Tuvans are no different from Chinese, especially when the factories are closed and citizens flock to supermarkets and farmers' markets to buy groceries. Cheng Manxiu followed her sister, and she clearly saw familiar faces and familiar language.

"There are really a lot of our countrymen here, and there are Tuvans, who are very similar to us, if it weren't for the different languages, it would be easy to get confused." Cheng Manli explained.

Shi Jun explained in more detail, first of all, the increasing influx of Chinese who came to Russia to pan for gold in the early days to Tuva, which was better treated, as well as those construction workers and road builders, and their families and relatives also came to live. Later, the vegetable farmers who came to farm in Khakassia couldn't stand the corruption there, and went to Tuva, which is more reassuring, to build a plastic greenhouse.

Now more and more Chinese are coming to this Tangnu Ulianghai, which was Chinese territory a few decades ago. "Originally, it was China, but because of history, it split from China. History has been like this and we can't do anything, but Russia does not refuse us Chinese to come and live. Shi Jun said.

Cheng Manli nodded, there is a lesson in this history book.

Shi Jun was more focused on buying meat, and the fat cattle that had been slaughtered in the morning were being frozen. Beef and lotus root are delicious in stew, and it may be better with potatoes.

Originally, the potatoes produced here in Tuva were all small varieties, and the quality was not good. With the arrival of Chinese vegetable farmers, two large fist-sized potatoes began to appear on the market, and these sterilized potatoes were of good quality, and in Tuva agriculture has developed by leaps and bounds due to the disruption of the economic crisis throughout Russia.

Out of the supermarket, Cheng Manli pulled her sister into a clothing store. Kyzyl is a small city, with small sparrows, luxury shops, handicraft shops and even shops selling traditional bows and harnesses.

There are many shops that resell wool, and many owners are small workshops that buy wool and produce it themselves. These small craftsmen can't compete with the professional garment factories in the country, but there is not much conflict between the two sides in terms of sales at present. Clothing, shoes, hats and furs made by traditional crafts are of course more expensive due to the long workmanship time and exquisite production.

Even in summer, the evenings in Tuva are really cool. Shi Jun paid out of his own pocket to show off in front of his sister-in-law, and a woolen vest was worn on Cheng Manxiu. Not only that, but also a cowhide-lined felt hat, which is very Russian, with a dome pile of wool and a "sheep's tail" on the back of the head. "This is an imitation ferret, it's really a ferret that's too expensive, and my sister is really shy to buy it."

Cheng Manxiu hurriedly waved his hand, "My sister's gift to me is the best, where do I mean to be dissatisfied." ”

"yes, because we still have to buy a house. After all, your brother-in-law and I live in Yang Mingzhi's house, and the cabin is not ours after all, it is very awkward. ”

The two are going to get married, and they plan to develop in Tuva in the future, and even have the intention of becoming a Russian citizen, so they need a house after marriage. The price of the newly built house in Kizil is not very expensive, but Shi Jun still plans to buy a big house, and the two need money so they have to save money slowly. However, since the arrival of Cheng Manxiu is a great thing, it is necessary to spend a lot of money at this time.

The trio returned with a full load, and several electric police cars drove past them.

There are also patrols at night, as if they were night patrols common in Chinese cities.

"A few months ago, it was also very chaotic in Kizil, there were too many people from outside, and some violent incidents caused panic, so there were no night patrols now." Shi Jun explained.

Back home, Shi Jun has lived with Cheng Manxiu for a long time and learned a lot of cooking skills, and the three of them can cook, as the so-called do-it-yourself food and clothing.

After eating and drinking, Shi Jun, who was slightly drunk, hummed a tune, making the two girls giggle.

"Sister, your life is really good." Cheng Manxiu said.

"Yes, it's not bad, but sister, do you want to follow the two of them when you come?"

"Yes, Yang Mingzhi, I will follow them when they return to China."

Their habit is to withdraw when school starts, but unfortunately my sister is not a genius. She said that she won the third place in the school in the final exam, which was beyond her expectations, but wouldn't it be a waste of two months of study time to fall behind.

Cheng Manxiu used practical actions to dispel her sister's concerns, and this time she took out the textbook. As a person who has mastered the correct learning method, the efficiency of learning is very high. Even if I saw some strange things in Russia, my heart was still constant - I must be admitted to a good university.

This time I came over with the Yang family brothers and sisters, obviously because they intended to cultivate themselves. Learning well and becoming a talent is the best reward for their support.

"Then you're going to have to work hard. My sister has no choice but to drop out of school, and you must seize the hard-won opportunity. I don't want you to be under too much pressure, just keep your mind straight and don't always think you're an ugly duckling Cinderella. Cheng Manli instructed.

Cheng Manxiu nodded sharply, then picked up the textbook he brought and studied by himself.

Tomorrow my sister will go to work, and she will have to continue to assemble firearms, and she and her future brother-in-law are both skilled in business. Tomorrow should be staying here to study on their own, or will Yang Mingzhi take the initiative to come and find it? Don't care so much for now, go to bed at eleven o'clock.

However, early in the morning, at six o'clock in the morning, the horn sounded outside, followed by the sound of tricks, and a familiar business shouting.

That's star fruit! Cheng Manxiu rubbed her eyes and quickly got out of bed.
