Chapter 9 Encountering Hair in a Foreign Country
"I have to go back to my box, I still have a companion." Meizi got up and prepared to leave, "Why didn't you bring her here?" Xiao Liu said, "The little kid doesn't understand anything, if you bring her here, who will see things?" I'm not like Brother Gao, the box is next door, just glance at any time, and she should be worried if she doesn't go back for so long. The plum counted Xiao Liu, "Who is the little brat?" How much older are you than me? Isn't it just two years older? Xiao Liu was not convinced, "Hey, say you're a little kid, what's wrong?" Sister, who is as big as you, has been an international grandmother for a year, and I have seen all the formations. "Okay, okay, I've convinced you, grandma, enough of you, right? It's OK to go. Xiao Liu stretched out his hand at Mei Zi's waist and posed for please, which made us laugh, and Mei Zi angrily gave Xiao Liu a punch, "Oops! Grandma was too ruthless and broke a bone. Xiao Liu covered the beaten shoulder and pretended to grin, "Tell you to be angry with me again, and next time you will be more ruthless." Meizi raised her fist and gestured in front of Xiao Liu, "Okay, okay, I'm afraid of you, I won't dare next time." Xiao Liu said to spare, "It's almost time to Irkutsk, I'll go back to the box to prepare, and I'll sell goods at the station after a while, fat brother, do you still go down to sell goods?" Meizi stood in the hallway and asked, "Let's go down and sell the goods, we still have two bags of goods from Lena." The fat brother said, "Plum, wait, take two smoked fish back and give them to your companion to taste." "Okay, thank you, brother." Mei Zi took the smoked fish, shook her fist at Xiao Liu and happily went back to her carriage, Xiao Liu stuck out her tongue at Mei Zi's back and made a grimace, and muttered in her mouth: "Crazy girl." This caused us to laugh again.
"In another twenty minutes, we will be in Irkutsk, stop at the station for thirty minutes, and hurry up to sell goods." Lena came over to inform us, and after speaking, she waved her hand at the fat brother and asked the fat brother to go with her, "Do you want to help?" I asked the fat brother, "No need, just take a package of goods, it's not very heavy, Lao Chen, you can tidy up the remaining gloves in our box." After speaking, the fat brother followed Lena away, "I'll also take some sportswear and sell it with you." Wenzhou Lao Gao said that he went back to his box to sort out his sportswear. I also hurriedly opened my bag and found the sweater that my middle school classmate's girlfriend asked me to bring.
Irkutsk (Irkutsk), is the capital of Irkutsk Oblast, with a history of more than 300 years, the second largest city in Eastern Siberia, Russia, second only to Novosibirsk, located at the southern end of Lake Baikal. With a population of nearly one million, Irkutsk is the largest industrial city in Siberia and the center of science, culture and education in Siberia. I have a high school classmate who is also a junior high school classmate Xiao Tao works in Irkutsk, he was assigned to work in a material company after graduating from a college in finance and accounting, and after the border trade became popular, their company sent him to Irkutsk to study Russian, and at the same time registered a trading company here, and sent some Chinese goods to wholesale sales. When he heard that I was going to Novosibirsk, his girlfriend spent a week knitting a sweater and asked me to bring it to him.
It was noon, the international train was slowly passing through the city, the railway was lined with rows of tofu-shaped buildings, the buildings were very spaced between the buildings, there were large open spaces and patches of woods, a gold-roofed church on the hill in the distance flickered under the shade of trees, the streets were wide but sparsely populated, the roads were full of Lada and Volga cars, interspersed with some buses that looked like yellow bread, and there were several Stalinist buildings in the center of the city, which looked magnificent.
As soon as the international train entered the station, I saw Xiao Tao in the crowd wearing a very conspicuous yellow sportswear, "Xiao Tao! I opened the window and hurriedly beckoned to him, "Roc." "Xiao Tao also saw me, there were a lot of Russians gathered at the station, but not as many as I thought. As soon as the car door opened, I was the first to jump in, "Give you a sweater, people say that you don't carry a book for thousands of miles, and I will give you warmth for almost thousands of miles." I joked and handed the sweater to Xiao Tao, "I was going to bring a kiss over, but your daughter-in-law said no, waiting for you to go back and give it to you together." "you, dogs can't spit ivory out of their mouths." Xiao Tao punched me, "Take it and eat it on the road, make you rice and potatoes and roast beef, make more of it, and take it to you people in the box to eat together." Xiao Tao handed me the thermos flask he was carrying, "I was so moved!" I'm afraid to eat instant noodles, and now I'm going to kiss you for your daughter-in-law. I pretended to hug Xiao Tao, Xiao Tao quickly flashed to the side, and I laughed, "Dude, you are dressed really energetically today, are you looking for a date with a Russian beauty?" Your daughter-in-law wants me to warn you not to look for the Persian cat (our nickname for Russian beauties), and if you do, she will find out and go back and break your dog's legs. ", who are you dating? I'm dressed like this just so that you can find me at a glance, and Russians rarely wear yellow. "No wonder I caught you out of the crowd at a glance."
I talked to Xiao Tao for a while, Fat Brother They sold out a pack of gloves, and Xiao Liu also helped Lao Gao sell a pack of sportswear, "Come to Xiao Tao, let me introduce you, this is Brother Chen, Brother Li, and Brother Gao of Wenzhou in Beijing, the three brothers are all international masters who went to Moscow, and this is Xiao Liu from Shenyang who went to study in Novosibirsk." "This is my little buddy Xiao Tao, who is now working in Irkutsk, and this is the Chinese food he specially made for us." I raised the thermos in my hand as I introduced them to each other, "Thank you so much, you buddy really know what we need most." The fat brother shook Xiao Tao's hand vigorously as he spoke, "Brother is polite, I have not sat on the international train, I know what you want most." Lao Chen, Lao Gao and Xiao Liu gave Xiao Tao a thumbs up at the same time, "If you go to Irkutsk in the future, as long as I'm still here, don't see outside, just say if you need help." Xiao Tao hugged his fist at everyone, "And me." Meizi came over at some point, "This is Meizi from Beijing, who went to study in Moscow, this is my buddy Xiaotao, who works in Irkutsk." I hurriedly introduced them, "The beauties are even more welcome." Xiao Tao smiled and stretched out his hand to Meizi......
"There aren't as many Russians buying goods at the station as I thought." I pointed to the crowd at the station and expressed my feelings, "There are more people who come to buy goods when 3/4 passes, there are relatively few Chinese masters on this train, and now there are many Chinese people coming to Irkutsk, and the Chinese market is slowly formed, so now there are fewer people buying goods on this train." Xiao Tao explained, "It seems that we will practice in Russia in the future, and the good times of international reloading will soon come to an end." Lao Chen looked at the crowd at the station and sighed. Xiaotao, how is your business? I asked Xiaotao, "It's not bad, we mainly send some canned food, supply the stores here, and send some chemical raw materials to China, and the customers are quite stable." The market is bigger on the Novosibirsk side, and you should have had a lot of opportunities in the past. ”
"Xiao Tao, take care!" "Dapeng, Brother Li, Brother Chen, Brother Gao, Xiao Liu, you have a safe journey! Dapeng arrived in Novosibirsk and thought about calling me. The train started slowly, Xiao Tao reluctantly waved goodbye to us, looking at Xiao Tao's little smaller figure on the platform, his eyes were a little wet. When I was busy at home, I didn't feel like I was going to get together occasionally, but now I feel more cordial when we meet in another country.
