One of the major effects of the collapse of the Soviet Union was that the people of the former Soviet republics were all moved, and the people of Russia were no exception. Before the collapse of the Soviet Union, when people encountered anything, they would instinctively think of getting help from the state, whether it was natural or man-made disasters or as small as not being able to buy butter in the market, everything should be solved by the state, and all individuals had to do was complain.

After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the country disappeared without a trace, seemingly overnight. It is true that the government still exists, but the government officials are no longer in charge, preferring to spend their time figuring out how to divide up state property. In the past, the state was all-encompassing and all-encompassing, but nowadays, everything is pushed to the market, and what you need, go to the market and buy it yourself. If you don't have the money, then I'm sorry, the government doesn't have the money to help you.

In this case, capable people began to seek to leave the country, and the Shark Design Institute alone has already left dozens of people. Some of them were poached by government departments in Western countries, and at the same time took away classified information from the former Soviet Union; Some are hired by Western companies as technicians in the company. All these people who left were able to get dozens of times their salaries abroad than at home, and most importantly, they were given strong foreign exchange, not the ruble, which is depreciating sharply.

Few people would consider it a shame to go abroad to work. In the past, people had to say at least verbally about working for the USSR and so on, and many people thought the same thing in their hearts. Now that the Soviet Union is gone, the new leaders of Russia believe in the dogma of "universality", and naturally do not engage in any patriotic propaganda. Since the country no longer needs everyone to contribute, then everyone should pursue their own happy life.

Liu Sha is also a person who holds this point of view, she is a housewife, and the passion of her youth has long been drowned out by firewood, rice, oil and salt. She was very envious of the female companions whose husbands went abroad to work, because they regularly received dollars from abroad, as well as large quantities of imported goods. In today's Russia, the only belief in the hearts of many people is the dollar, and any country, nation, and Soviet is a floating cloud.

Lyusa also hinted to Tuchinov sideways, asking him to contact foreign institutions, and with his knowledge, it should not be a problem to mix well abroad. But Tuchinov has a kind of almost pedantic innocence, and the aircraft carriers he has been engaged in for more than 30 years have always regarded the United States and other Western countries as imaginary enemies. Now, he was ashamed to let him bow to his former enemies and serve them.

Now, an opportunity has arisen. The Chinese, and a former friend Liu Xianghai, extended an olive branch to Tuchinov, should he accept it?

"Teacher, do you think I can go to China?". Tuccinov asked Saviev.

Saviev nodded and said, "Tuchinov, before they went to the bar to find you, this Lin once said something to me. When they went to the bar, I was thinking about what he was saying. I think that there is a point in his words, and it is true that a strong China is helpful for Russia.

For at least the next 20 years, China and Russia should be in a mutually supportive relationship, and if either side leaves the other's support, it could be eaten by the United States. Whatever unpleasantness China and Russia have had, it must now be abandoned. We have a common adversary, and that is the United States. It is an eternal principle that the enemy of the enemy is his friend. ”

"So, you support me to work in China?" Tuchinov said.

Saviev said: "Go, it's better to go to China than to go to the United States, right?" No matter what you say, China is still a socialist country, and we are still serving socialism. ”

The concept of socialism has different meanings for generations. Saviev was of the older generation, and he had the deepest feelings for socialism, and whenever possible, he still hoped that he or his students would continue to carry the banner of socialism. Tuchinov is a middle-aged generation, educated in socialism since childhood, and exposed to many Western theories as an adult. As for the younger generation in Russia, they have basically been completely Westernized, and they must be called the United States, and talking about socialism in front of them will only attract their shame. ..., hearing Savev's words, Tuchinov fell into deep thought. It was not easy for him to make such a choice, and he had to consider all aspects.

At this moment, there was another knock on the door, and Liu Sha went over to open the door to see four or five Chinese young men standing at the door, each carrying a large bulging bag on his shoulder, tired and sweating.

"Andrey, is this your subordinate?". Liu Sha turned to Liu Xianghai and asked.

Without waiting for Liu Xianghai to answer, Lin Zhenhua stood up first and said with a smile: "I called them here." Xiao Ke, let the comrades bring things in. ”

Ke Yungen agreed, and instructed his soldiers to bring all the big bags into the house and pile them in the center of the living room, like a small mountain. After putting down their things, the guards quietly retreated, not daring to disturb the conversation of the group of people in the house.

"Come on, Mrs. Tuchinov, please help, take out the food, and let's talk while we eat." Lin Zhenhua greeted.

Liu Sha stepped forward and helped Lin Zhenhua open a pocket. As soon as the pocket was opened, her eyes lit up. In that huge pocket, it was filled with ham, butter, cheese, sugar, wine and other items, the quantity and grade were so high that Liu Sha had not seen them for a long time. Even before the collapse of the Soviet Union, although her family was relatively wealthy financially, it was not easy to buy so many good things at once.

"Let's take these things out for dinner. This bag is for Mr. Savev, and these two bags are yours, Mrs. Turchinov, and I will send them to your home in a moment. Lin Zhenhua pointed to the bags and arranged them to open.

"This can't be done, this big bag of food, bought in the market, I'm afraid it will cost hundreds of thousands of rubles, right? Not a few words, how can we accept such a valuable thing from you. Liu Shayan refused insincerely. In fact, her heart was already full of joy, holding the two pockets that Lin Zhenhua had just allocated to her, and she refused to let go.

Liu Xianghai said: "Liu Sha, this is a little bit of our heart, you can accept it." I've heard that your family has been nervous lately, and the children haven't had a good meal for a long time, right? A lot of words are correct, let's send some food to Sergei's house later, isn't the situation in his family not very good? ”

"Alas, how many families are living well now, it's all because of this damn price. Andrey, as you know, the children eat a lot, and they are in love, and sometimes they have to bring girls to the house, and they don't have anything to eat, and they really don't look good. You know how snobbish girls are now......" Lyusa said babblingly, glancing at Turchinov with her eyes, waiting for him to speak.

Tuchinov looked at Lyusa with a slightly embarrassed face. As a man, it is really a shameless thing to not be able to give his wife and children enough food and clothing. Although he has his own beliefs, he is still an ordinary man who cannot refuse the fireworks of the world.

As Liu Sha said, several children in the family have grown up, and when they reach the age of talking about marriage, young people now have to pay attention to pomp and circumstance when they get married, with his current income, how can he afford enough pomp? Liu Xianghai promised him a salary of $5 to $100,000 a year, and he knew that he was worth the price, and Liu Xianghai should not break his promise. If you can earn such a high salary, the children can be as beautiful as the rich second generation on the street, right? Not a lot of words

However, in this case, how can he open his mouth to Liu Xianghai?

"Tuchinov, you go, go to China. In any case, at least I can get some money for my family and improve my life. Saviev saw Turchinov's mind and directly helped him pick it out.

Liu Xianghai said: "Tuchinov, if you agree to go to China, you don't have to worry about the economy. In addition, Liusha can also go with you, we will arrange a villa for you, and we will also equip you with orderlies and security personnel to take care of your life. ”

"Also, the apartment for foreign experts that Dean Liu and they are going to build is next to the sea." Lin Zhenhua said with a smile, "That place is called Weihai, it is in China's Shandong Province, it is a picturesque place, right out of the door is a wide beach, all summer, you can both lie on the beach and sunbathe." "...," Ivan ......" Lyusa called Turchinov's name softly, and she could no longer resist the beautiful scene that Lin Zhenhua described to her.

The Russians' yearning for the sea is incomparable, and every summer, countless Russians flock to the shores of the Black Sea to enjoy the sea and the sun. China's beaches face the Pacific Ocean, and the feeling of vastness is not comparable to that of the Black Sea. After entering the 21st century, due to the recovery of the Russian economy, more and more Russians come to China to soak in the beach.

Before this trip, Lin Zhenhua talked to Liu Xianghai about building an apartment for foreign experts, and specially suggested that the apartment be built in Weihai. Weihai itself has a naval base, and both the land and the seaside baths are ready-made. The scenery and climate of this place are very comfortable, and it is definitely a good place for Russians who live in cold regions all year round.

Tuchinov smiled helplessly, and said to Liu Xianghai: "Andrey, your arrangement is so seamless, I can't refuse at all." You can also see that one of Liu Sha's hearts has flown to China. ”

"Tuchinov, you don't have to have any psychological burden. If you can't make up your mind now, I can invite you and Liusha, by the way, as well as Teacher and Mrs. Saviev, to China for a while and recuperate. If we have any specific ideas, we can talk about them when we get there. At that point, if you are interested in participating in our work, then we are more than welcome. If you don't feel interested, we won't force you. Liu Xianghai said sincerely.

"No, I've already decided, I'll go to China with you." Tuccinov said firmly......,
