When the fat Russian aunt put two bottles of vodka on the table, she quickly glued her fingers on the table and put them in her mouth, and the two fish roe scattered on the table entered her mouth.

The three people at the table all pretended not to see it.

"Open up!" Xiaobao unbuttoned all the buttons of the suit and said proudly. It was his standard opening statement at the wine table. It's completely a mustache.

Ulyanova glanced at him disapprovingly. Mikhailov was also dumbfounded.

But when it comes to drinking, don't talk about Mikhailov, even Ulyanova and Xiaobaobi are not inferior.

Xiaobao had no choice but to take out the trick of playing on the wine table that he had practiced since he was a child. Every time I drank wine, I wiped my mouth with the sleeve of my suit, and after a while, Xiaobao's sleeve was all soaked.

Mikhailov poured wine into his mouth without hesitation. Ulyanova blushed and smiled as he watched him drink. But under the table, he stepped on Xiaobao with the heel of his high heels.

"I was born in the Northeast. But since childhood, I have listened to my mother talk about everything in Russia. The forests and steppes of Siberia, the Don, the Volga, everything in Russia is so beautiful in my heart. Ulyanova said emotionally in Russian.

Suddenly Ulyanova sang a Russian folk song.

"Snow and ice cover the Volga"

"Look at three sets of cars running on the river"

Mikhailov and Xiaobao were stunned. Xiaobao didn't expect Ulyanova's petite body to make such a loud sound. The wine in the glass in front of him was stirred up by Ulyanova's singing.

The song is melodious and sad. Sounds good, it's really good. For the first time, Xiaobao did not have the idea of putting the title of yelling donkey on Ulyanova's head.

"Pity my old horse"

"Walk with me to the end of the world"

I don't know when, the fat Russian aunt stood at the door, clasped her hands to her chest, burst into tears, and sang with Ulyanova.

After the song was sung, the fat aunt ran over and hugged Ulyannova tightly.

Mikhailov was also moved by the scene in front of him. His eyes were moist too.

When the Russian fat aunt walked out with an apron wiping her tears, the atmosphere in the whole room was different. Mikhailov's estrangement between Xiaobao and Ulyannova is gone, but a little closer.

"You two know that my money has been robbed. I want to borrow money from this friend of yours and go back to Harbin right away. If I can't go back at the allotted time, I'm in big trouble. Mikhailov said to Ulyanova.

"Yes, my Katya is a warm-hearted person. He'll lend it to you, won't he? Ulyanova replied in Russian. She turned around and pinched Xiaobao's chin affectionately.

Xiaobao couldn't understand what the two were saying, he just nodded and smiled.

"Anyway, we're going back to Harbin in a few days. When the time comes, you can return it to us in Harbin. Ulyanova said.

"I'm going to take a merchant ship from Shanghai to Vladivostok. Then take the train to Harbin via the China Eastern Railway. It takes a lot of money. Even if I return to Harbin, I won't be able to return it to you anytime soon. Mikhailov said embarrassedly.

"It's not going to be easy." Ulyanova said embarrassedly.

"I seem to have heard you say that your friend is in the grain business. Can I pay back the money in other ways? Mikhailov hesitated for a moment and gritted his teeth.

"In what way?" Ulyanova asked casually.

Message. An important piece of news. I know the news that food prices are about to rise dramatically. Mikhailov said.

"If your friends buy a lot of food while the price of food is still very low, they will definitely make a lot of money in the future." Mihailo said eagerly.

"How do I know your message is true? If my Katya buys a lot of grain, as you said, and the price of grain falls instead of rising, he will be bankrupt. Ulyanova replied.

"It's going to go up. Telegraphs between Moscow and Vladivostok had to pass through the Soviet Consulate General in Harbin. So I know something, the price of food is bound to go up. Mikhailov said firmly.

Ulyanova shrugged noncommittal. But her heart was beating wildly.

Mikhailov had drunk too much wine today, and coupled with his eagerness to leave for Harbin immediately, he did not choose to speak.

"Two days before my departure from Harbin, news came from Moscow that the distribution of winter equipment for the Far Eastern Front this winter would be postponed. The equipment for the winter should be fully supported by the Northwest Front. Mikhailov said.

"On October 5, Moscow invited the Finnish government to send representatives to Moscow to negotiate the territorial question. But I think it's not just me, but most of the people in the consulate think that the Finns won't make concessions on territory. So a war between the USSR and Finland was inevitable. The Soviet Union would certainly have purchased a large amount of grain from Manchuria, close to the Far East. This is already the traditional practice. Mikhailov said in one breath.

Ulyanova's hand on the napkin shook slightly. This is a top-secret message. With this news, she and Xiaobao's trip to Shanghai was full of loads. Of course, the message must be true.

"I don't care who fights with whom. As long as the food goes up, your money can't be repaid. When the time comes, we will go to the Consulate General of the USSR and ask you for money. Ulyanova said lightly.

"Good!" Mikhailov said. At this time, he was like a gambler standing at the table yesterday.

When Mikhailov got the money from Xiaobao and hurriedly went to book a ticket, Xiaobao and Ulyanova also walked out of the restaurant.

Nobunaga Matsumoto drove a sedan to the two men.

"Do you have a pen with you?" Ulyanova got into the car and asked Nobunaga Matsumoto.

Puzzled, Matsumoto Nobunaga took out a pen and handed it to Ulyanova.

Ulyanova took out a napkin and spread it on her seat and wrote on it with a pen. After a while, she handed the napkin to Matsumoto Nobunaga and said, "I got in and out of the car with Qian Xiaobao, and you immediately rushed back and sent the contents of it to the Intelligence Department by telegram." ”

Matsumoto Nobunaga glanced at the contents of the napkin, and his expression also changed.

"I'll rush back right away." Matsumoto Nobunaga said.

Watching Matsumoto Nobunaga drive away in a car, Xiaobao asked puzzledly, "What happened?" Why are you all burning your butts like fire. ”

"If the news is true, we will make a great contribution to Shanghai this time, Katya." Ulyanova said, holding Xiaobao's arm.

"What does Katya mean?" Xiaobao asked puzzled.

"This is the Russian name I gave you. In the future, I will be the only one who can call you that, okay? Ulyanova said with a smile.

"Then I'll give you a Chinese name, okay? I'll call you Er Ya from now on. Xiaobao said with a smile. His heart was full of guilt right now. 11
