Chapter 139: To Moscow

Except for a plane meal in the middle, most of the time was listening to He Daliang tell his story, and before he knew it, the plane had begun to descend. The airplane broadcast said that the ground temperature in Moscow was minus 21 degrees, and Moscow was much warmer than Novosibirsk, which at this time was already minus 40 degrees. The sky is very clear, looking out of the porthole of the plane, Moscow is simply amazingly big, from the high altitude you can't even see the edge of the city, the city roads are like spider webs densely intersecting, there are many buildings, a river passes through the center of the city, He Daliang said, it is the Moscow River.

The plane landed smoothly and the three of us got off the plane together. Before I reached the exit in the arrivals area, I saw Sveta and Vera in the distance, and behind them stood a Chinese man, I think it was Zhang Laosan, a friend of He Daliang. Sveta and Vera saw us, too, and Brother Chao and I waved at them. He Daliang also waved to the Chinese man standing behind Sveta and Vera, and then said to us: "That's my buddy Zhang Laosan, those two beauties are picking you up, right?" I nodded and said yes, He Daliang said to himself a little strangely: "Why do these two beauties look so familiar?" Where have I seen them? I smiled and asked him, "Brother He, have you ever sat on the international train that passed through Manchuria?" He Daliang suddenly realized, "I remembered, they are all conductors on the international train, the two brothers are really powerful, and they have done all the beauties on the international train, brother, I really admire it." Brother Chao smiled and said, "The beauty is a patient that Peng has treated." Because I didn't say that I knew acupuncture, He Daliang naturally didn't understand what Brother Chao was saying, he thought Brother Chao was joking, so he laughed and said, "What disease does a beautiful woman have?" Lovesickness? Brother Chao was amused by He Daliang's joke, "Yes, the beauty is really lovesick, and this time it is for Peng to treat." I laughed along, thinking, that's really the case.

Walking to the exit, Sveta came up and gave me a warm hug, if there was no one around, it is estimated that she would give me a hot kiss, and Vera also hugged Super Brother. At this time, Zhang Laosan next to him came up and hugged He Daliang, "Brother, you want to kill my brother." After the warm meeting ceremony, He Daliang introduced us to Zhang Laosan, "Brother, these are the two little brothers Wang Chao and Dapeng who met on the plane, who really do international trade, and they are good friends with the fat man Lao Chen, who has run the international train together. When Zhang Laosan heard this, he warmly shook hands with us, "My name is Zhang Zhiyong, the third in line, everyone calls me Zhang Laosan, how old is I, you call me the third brother." Fat Lao Chen and I are buddies, and we are all ants now, and we often drink together. "This world is really small, if Zhang Laosan often drinks with Fat Brother Lao Chen, then he must know Lena, so I asked him: "Third brother, then you must know Lena of Fat Brother, right?" Zhang Laosan nodded, "Of course I know, it turns out that the conductor on the international train, I have also taken the international train on her shift before, a very capable woman." After speaking, Zhang Laosan pointed at Sveta and Vera with his mouth, "Brother, these two beauties are your girlfriends, why do I look so familiar with them." He Daliang laughed when he heard it and said, "Brother, I recognize them, why can't you recognize them?" You take a closer look. Zhang Laosan looked at Sveta and Vera carefully, just like He Daliang, he suddenly realized, and slapped his thigh, "I said why are you so familiar, it turns out that they are both conductors on the international train, just now when I was waiting for the brightness, I was thinking, where must I have seen these two beauties." ”

Seeing that Sveta and Vera were looking at us a little inexplicably, Chao Ge explained: "They are friends we just met, they know Fat Man and Lena, and they have both been on the international train you are on, and they recognized you two beauties just now." Only then did Svita and Vera understand, and greeted He Daliang and Zhang Laosan in Chinese with a smile: "Hello! Zhang Laosan smiled and said, "Hello! My name is Sergey, his name is Sasha, we have all been on the international train you are on duty, the fat man is my friend, I know Lena. Hearing Zhang Laosan say this, Sveta was very happy, "That's great, we're all old friends, I asked Lena Fat and them to come to my house for a party today, you guys should come together." Zhang Laosan glanced at He Daliang, He Daliang nodded, Zhang Laosan said: "Okay, I originally wanted to get drunk with my brother tonight, then have fun with old friends, I will take Daliang back to an ant market now, and I will go over with Lena Fat Man and them at night." I also have two bottles of Erguotou, and I bring them with me. ”

According to the time difference between Moscow and Novosibirsk, Moscow is now noon. Sveta asked me and Chao, "Where do you want to go now, two young men?" Do you want me to take you around Moscow or come home with us? Of course, I really wanted to go to Red Square and the Kremlin to have a look, but as soon as Brother Chao heard that Zhang Laosan had taken He Daliang back to an ant market, he said, "We will also follow them to the Izmailo market." Sveta spread her hands and said, "Okay, where you say you are going, Vera and I will accompany you wherever you go, you are guests, Vera, right?" Vera smiled and nodded. Brother Chao asked Zhang Laosan: "Third brother, let's go back to an ant market with you, I want to go to see the situation in the big market." Zhang Laosan said: "Okay, just take my car, Da Liang sits in the front, and the four of you sit in the back row, just enough to make love." When Brother Chao and I heard this, we laughed.

Zhang Laosan's car is an Audi 100, and he said that he spent 8,000 US dollars to buy a second-hand car that has been running for seven or eight years. The car looks new, and the rear row is not crowded at all. I asked him, "Third brother, did you get a driver's license in Moscow?" Zhang Laosan laughed and took out a health certificate from his pocket, "This is a driver's license." "It seems that this trick is not only used by students in Novosibirsk, but also by the fallen masters in Moscow. Brother Chao asked, "Third brother, can this thing be fooled?" Zhang Laosan replied with a smile: "If you encounter a police check, we Chinese will be fined the same whether we have a driver's license or not, and it is better to have this thing than nothing." There is also a written test for the driver's license, and with our level of Russian, which can only speak and write, do you think we can pass the guò test? "It seems that the real driver's license of the Chinese in Russia is rubles.

Sveta took my hand and leaned quietly on top of me, her wish to come to Moscow was finally fulfilled. I asked her: "Sveta, is the Izmailo market not far from your house?" Sveta replied: "It's not very far, it's an hour and a half from Izmailo by metro and then by electric train, but I rarely go there." "This Moscow is so big that an hour and a half away is considered close, and if it is far, it is not more than three or four hours. I asked with some curiosity: "Then Lena usually goes to the market like this?" Sveta replied: "They bought a car and drove it to the market, and if they took public transport like this, they would have spent their time on the road." ”

The car drove for more than an hour, and when he arrived at an ant market, Zhang Laosan pointed to a whole street outside the car window and said: "This large area is a market, and now it has just passed New Year's Day, and there is no business in the market. "When I entered the market, all I saw were rows of containers, each container was a stall for storing and wholesale goods, and I saw Vietnamese people wholesale cotton clothes and sportswear, and there were some Russians visiting the market. Zhang Laosan told us: "This is the Vietnam area, and the future is the China area, and there is also the Central Asia region and the Indian area. If you go all over here, no three or five days is not enough. ”

We followed Zhang Laosan for more than ten minutes and found the fat brother's container. Fat brother Lao Chen and ******** other people were playing cards, but they didn't see Lena. As soon as the fat brother saw us, he threw the cards and came up to me and gave me a bear hug, "Two brothers, I knew you were coming, but I didn't expect you to come here directly." "After letting go of me, the fat brother shook hands with He Daliang" Daliang hasn't seen me for a long time, I heard the third child say, you have made a lot of money by pouring vegetables in Manchuria. He Daliang smiled and said: "What kind of money to make, eat with a mouth, or you make a fortune in Moscow." Lao Chen saw us coming over with Zhang Laosan and He Daliang, and asked a little strangely: "Why are you all together?" "Brother Chao told us how we met. The fat brother said with emotion on the side: "This world is really small. ”

I looked around and asked the fat brother, "Fat brother, why didn't you see Lena?" Brother Chao said: "I heard that you are coming, and we will have a party at Sveta's house tonight, she is afraid that Sveta will not be busy alone, so she will stay at home and prepare some food first." After speaking, the fat brother said to Lao Chen: "Brother, prepare to close the stall, let's go home early, anyway, there is no business now." Then he turned to Zhang Laosan and said, "Sansanliang, let's go together tonight, everyone is happy." Zhang Laosan laughed, "Fat brother, you don't need to invite, the beauty has already invited us." At this time, Brother Chao looked at his watch, and then said to Fat Brother: "Fat Brother, you guys will close the stall in a while, I want to walk around the market for an hour and a half." The fat brother said, "Okay, you guys go shopping, Lao Chen and I are waiting for you here." Zhang Laosan pointed to a container not far in front of him and said, "You go shopping first, I'll go back to my own container to have a look, I still have a companion." ”

Brother Chao and Svita Villa and I walked around an ant market, and for an hour and a half, we could only go around China and the Vietnamese area next door, and the goods in China and Vietnam were mainly clothing, shoes and hats, and the Chinese who sold the goods looked mostly northerners. Brother Chao asked about the price of some goods, the prices were very low, and a young man from the Northeast who sold down jackets told us: "It's almost the Spring Festival, clear the goods and prepare to go home, anyway, I have already made money before New Year's Day." Hearing that we came from Novosibirsk, the young man said, "You also have a Chinese wholesale warehouse in Novosibirsk, and some of the goods are still sent from here, and some Russians from there come to buy the goods." ”

After a general walk, we went to Sveta's house with the fat brother Lao Chen and Zhang Laosan, who had collected the stall, and her family lived in a satellite city of Moscow. There are many satellite cities around Moscow, and many Muscovites live in satellite cities and work in Moscow.

We went to Lena's house first, and Lena was very happy to see us. She had already prepared a lot of food, and finally we decided to meet at Lena's house, so that we didn't have to toss things around to Sveta's house, and this time Sveta was freed. On this night, several of us drank until midnight as if celebrating the New Year, especially Zhang Laosan and Fat Brother, who recalled the scene when they ran the international train, and were full of emotion.

Before the feast was over, Sveta dragged me quietly back to her house, and we didn't bother with Brother Chao because of Vera. That night, Sveta and I were finally in a real room instead of a train compartment.
