Chapter 14 The Foreigner

I had been paying attention to Zina's reaction just now, so I had nothing to worry about, and now I found that her box was stuffed with large bags, and there were only two passengers in the box, her and her husband Sergei.

"You all sit down, what do you want to drink? I have coffee here, and I have Indian black tea, and I have your Chinese tea. Ji Na invited Xiao Liu into the box, "Thank you, bring me a cup of Indian black tea." Meizi said, "Please give me a cup of coffee." "I prefer to drink coffee," I'm the same as Sister Meizi. Xiao Liu said, "Okay, my name is Zina, this is my husband Sergei, what do you all call me?" "My name is Nadya and I go to school in Moscow." "My name is Vega and I go to school in Novosibirsk." I now know the Russian names of Meizi and Xiao Liu. "We live in Novosibirsk, Vega, and you and Dr. Peng are welcome to come to our house in the future."

"Did you get on the bus in Beijing?" Meizi asked Zina, "Yes, yes, Sergei and I go to Beijing every two or three months to buy goods. Meizi pointed to the bag on the top bunk, "No wonder there are so many bags." Sergei suddenly said in strange Chinese: "We are foreign masters." Hahaha, all of a sudden made us laugh, "Do you speak Chinese?" I asked Sergei in Chinese, "Negne (no, no), I only know a few words, and I call us foreign masters in Beijing, so I learned this sentence deliberately, and I will also say that I am Russian, hello, goodbye, thank you, how much, too expensive, I want, I don't want it, send me back to the hotel." "You're awesome enough to live in China." I complimented Sergei, "so-so." Sergey came to Chinese again, and a few of us burst into laughter, "Do you have your own store in Novosibirsk?" "Yes, we have a small shop in the center of the city that sells some women's clothes." Zina replied, "Are they all purchased from China?" I asked, "Not exactly, we also buy from Poland, I have a sister who lives in Poland, and we first went to Poland to buy goods." Later, in Poland, I met a few Chinese who came from Beijing, and bought some silk clothes and pearl necklaces from them, which were very popular after taking them back to Novosibirsk, and Sergei and I decided to go to Beijing, China. "Brother Peng, they don't know the fat brother who first went to Eastern Europe, right?" Xiao Liu whispered to me, "The world is so big, where can it be so coincidental?" They are not the only ones who have gone to Eastern Europe. "Vega, what are you talking about?" Ji Na couldn't help but ask curiously, "A friend of ours went to Eastern Europe a few years ago, he brought a pearl necklace and silk clothing from Beijing, Wei Jia said Maybe you know them, Peng said that the world is very big, it will not be such a coincidence." Meizi explained to Zina, "Maybe it's really them, if it's really them, then we have too much fate, I believe in fate." Zina said with a serious look.

"How did you feel when you first went to China?" I was a little curious about how Russians feel when they came to China, and when I used to work in the company, I often had Russian customers come over, but they were all accompanied by managers and translators, so I didn't have the opportunity to contact them, so I can finally ask today. "China is beautiful, Chinese food is delicious, Chinese are friendly, Chinese things are cheap, this is how we felt when we went to China for the first time." Zina said, "I'll talk about it." Sergei took Zina's words, "Before we went to China, we didn't know anything about China, and we always thought that China was very backward, that the cities should be similar to our rural areas, that there are so many Chinese people, and that people should live in houses like pigeon cages." It was even more ridiculous when we read the book, which said that there are no toilets in Chinese toilets, and there are two wooden planks on top of a pit, so I was still very nervous before I went. The first time I went to Beijing was a travel agency, I did a seven-day tour, there were tour guides and translators, the hotel was not far from the ** square, we were all surprised when we arrived in Beijing, the streets in the city are wide and tidy everywhere, and the hotel is equipped with luxury and complete facilities better than the hotels in Europe. And the Chinese are very friendly, no matter where you go, people will greet you with a smile, we visited the Forbidden City, the Great Wall, the Summer Palace in Beijing for the first time, ate Peking duck and a lot of various delicacies, every time I ate I couldn't help but eat more, as a result, I gained three kilograms in a week, and this time I went to China and I ate fat again. Speaking of this, Sergei touched his belly, "Our tour group went to the market and the mall again, we bought a lot of silk clothing, scarves and pearl necklaces, and when we went back, we quickly sold them in the store, and we made a lot of money in addition to the cost of that trip." So we applied for a business visa through the guò travel agency and began to be a foreigner in Beijing. "Sergey likes China very much, and he said that he was going to find a girlfriend in China and not go back to Russia, but that would not work, so I followed him every time and stared at him." Zina took Sergei's hand, as if she was afraid that her husband would find a girlfriend in China, "Where will he find a Chinese girlfriend?" He loves you so much, he was very nervous when you were sick just now. Meizi is very good at talking, and Zina is very happy: "Thank you Nadya, I am joking, I know that Sergei loves me very much, I am sometimes very willful and careless like a child, but he never blames me." Once after we finished shopping in the Beijing market, we took a taxi back to the hotel, because there were a lot of things, when I got off the car, I forgot the bag containing my passport and money in the taxi, and when I got to the room, I found that we didn't remember the number of the taxi, I was scared and cried, Sergei hugged me and comforted me, he said that he would be able to get it back if he was fine, guess what the result was? "That's definitely a lost thing." Meizi said, "Yes, yes, I was sad in the room, and when Sergei was about to go to the police, I heard someone knock on the door, and when I opened the door, I saw that it was the lobby manager of the hotel and the Russian translator of the hotel, the lobby manager was holding our bag in his hand, and he asked if this is your bag, right?" Want us to see if there's anything missing? I grabbed it, opened it and saw that the passport and money were there, and Sergey quickly asked how they found it? They said that after we got off the car, the taxi driver didn't notice that I forgot the bag in the back seat, and there happened to be a taxi not far after I walked out, and the guest got on the bus and sat in the back seat and found the bag, and they immediately sent it back, I asked the taxi driver and the guest? They said the taxi driver was in a hurry to drop off the guest and had already left. We were very touched and wanted to thank the taxi driver, but the driver did not leave his name and contact information for the hotel, and then we wanted to be lucky enough to get in the driver's taxi again, you think, will we get in his car again? "Definitely." Xiao Liu said, "We think like this every time we take a taxi in Beijing, but Beijing is so big, there are so many taxis, we only stay for a few days at a time, where will we be so lucky, but I have a hunch that we will meet him again, I clearly remember how he looks, his nose is a little big, when waiting for a red light in the car, he also pointed to his nose and joked with us that he looked like a Russian." "You Chinese are really very good, this time I met the doctor Peng to help us, just now seeing Ji Na's painful look, I was really anxious, we went out without medicine, so I went to the flight attendant Lena to help, she said that there is a Chinese doctor in the car who can massage, she has cured her headache before, I didn't expect you to also have acupuncture." Sergei held my hand and said, Xiao Liu and I looked at each other and smiled, "Brother Peng, you are so powerful, I really didn't expect you to know how to do acupuncture." Meizi looked at me with admiration and said, "But when did you treat Lena?" "I'll sue you later." I sold it, "Brother Peng, you still take a handful, I'll ask Brother Fat in a while." "Just ask the fat brother." Xiao Liu and I stifled our laughter.

"Peng, do you work in a hospital?" Zina asked me, "I don't work in a hospital, I work in a trading company." "So are you a medical school graduate?" Zina then asked me, "I studied economic management, I have an aunt who is an acupuncturist, she taught me, and I also attended the correspondence course of acupuncture and moxibustion at the College of Traditional Chinese Medicine. I came out this time with some acupuncture needles, but I didn't expect to use them today. "Wow! It's amazing, acupuncture is very popular in our Russia, and it would be great if you opened a clinic in Novosibirsk. Can Peng tell me what you came here for? Zina was full of curiosity about me: "Our company opened a trading company in Novosibirsk, and I was sent to work. "Oh, then we'll see if we can help you, but if you have time, I can help you find a few patients, you won't refuse, right?" "Okay, thank you in advance, and I'll do my best to help your friends if time permits." "Then it's a word, maybe the first batch of patients is me and Sergey, we both have some back pain, every time we go to China to plan acupuncture, but there is no time, this time I didn't expect the doctor to send it to the door, it seems that my stomach pain is specially arranged by God." Hearing Zina say that her illness was specially arranged by God, the three of us plus Sergei all laughed.
