Chapter 18: The End of the World
People's primitive desires are all roughly the same, but regional customs and cultural differences cause differences in cognition.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, the sky was a little dark, and after the battle, Guo Deguang and Tasha were tired enough. After the first shyness and mutual temptation, Guo Deguang felt that he could let go of his hands and feet, but they were human after all, and they were still hungry.
"Miss at the front desk? I'm a guest of 518, can I place an order? β
"Of course two people eat. Four dishes and a soup bar, meat dishes. β
"No problem, it's the Soviets, not the people of Xinjiang, and there's no problem with any meat."
"Add two more servings of rice, and eight bottles of beer, she can drink it better than me."
"I'm okay with my physique, I can come up in the middle of the night."
Guo Deguang called the front desk to order food. Don't forget to make fun of it at the end.
Tasha walked out of the bathroom and felt a little unbelievable when she saw Guo Deguang, how could two people who didn't know each other have such an intimate thing in such a short period of time. Tasha came to the conclusion that both she and Guo Deguang were lonely, and they both needed someone to solve this loneliness.
Tasha met Zhang Xiaodi when she was in college at Dynamo Kyiv. Tasha's family also belonged to the category of being liquidated in the Soviet Union, and the class composition was not good. Her family's financial conditions naturally made it difficult for her to support her to go to college, and it was not easy for her to have the opportunity to go to college at that age.
Even Soviet college students with good family conditions had to work to earn money. She and Zhang Xiaodi met at the restaurant where she worked, and Zhang Xiaodi was a person who was still stranded after his visa expired and was using his skills as a chef to move around. It's not too much to say that it's a wanderer, and it's still lucky to be caught and repatriated.
Zhang Xiaodi can't rent a house without an identity, so he can only work as a black worker, and after meeting Tasha, he at least doesn't have to worry about not being able to rent a house. Later he was responsible for part of Tasha's living expenses and tuition. Tasha will also share some housework, of course, to meet Zhang Xiaodi's physiological needs. Let's take what you need.
After graduating from university, Tasha failed to find his ideal job, Zhang Xiaodi obtained a doctorate at this time, and caught up with the improvement of the domestic economic situation and relatively relaxed management in all aspects, so he wanted to return to China.
Guo Deguang told Tasha that he could help her continue her graduate school after returning to China, and Tasha was a little tempted. However, if you come to China with him, you have to get married first, so that it is easier to go through the relevant procedures. The Soviets were more casual about getting laid, but they were still cautious about marriage. In the face of future interests, Tasha chose to marry Zhang Xiaodi.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Xiaodi changed by leaps and bounds after returning to China, which he himself did not expect. From a down-and-out cook in a foreign country to the vice president of teaching at a well-known medical university in China. It was something he could never have dreamed of. This phenomenon cannot be blamed on others, and it was still somewhat representative in the eighties.
The status has changed, and of course the thinking has changed. He originally proposed to marry Tasha because he wanted to keep a back hand for himself, and in case something went wrong here, he could also rely on Tasha's identity and their relationship as husband and wife. However, in the past two years, I have always felt that Tasha has not had much use value. With his current status, a divorce is certainly unlikely. They were married in the church, and he repeatedly flaunted their exotic relationship in front of people and gave up their patriotic feelings for the sake of the interests of the country and the people.
As for Tasha, she doesn't want to play Enai with Zhang Xiaodi, but she can't help it. During this period, she returned to China once, and this return experience made her even more painful. The relatives thought that she had become a noblewoman and began to fight desperately. After knowing her situation, especially the economic situation, she quickly alienated her, and she became an outcast. What's even more puzzling is that the government departments have also begun to pay attention to her whereabouts, which can scare her enough. I quickly left some money and returned to China.
After returning to China, Zhang Xiaodi laughed at her, but Tasha suddenly woke up and she still had a certain value to Zhang Xiaodi. Because as long as she is there, Zhang Xiaodi can continue his glorious image. Sometimes Tasha hates this fame and reputation man, but she still has to live on this hated man. She asked to continue her degree, but Zhang Xiaodi didn't want to invest in her.
I remember the first time she was invited to a National Day dinner hosted by the Soviet Embassy, and it was cold and windy in November in Benghai. Whoever dreams of her hometown in ten years will face a dilemma. At that dinner, she met Marcosi, and if it wasn't for Zhang Xiaodi's push last year, maybe she would be a mother now, and she and Marcosi would have children. Even if Marcosi had a wife, so what! At least she can have children of her own.
Later, Marcosi told her a secret about Zhang Xiaodi. is this secret, Zhang Xiaodi no longer dares to hurt her, and it is also because of this secret that Marcosi can't interact with her as casually as before.
About half an hour later, the phone in Guo Deguang's room rang, and Guo Deguang answered the phone and went downstairs to pick up the meal.
Originally, orders could have been delivered directly to the room. Miss Qin at the front desk had a lot of thoughts, she just wanted the guest in room 518 to come down and pick it up by herself.
"Little sister, I'm here to get my food."
"Your sister and my surname are Qin, and I will be called Sister Qin in the future."
"Okay, sister."
"What sister, Sister Qin, Qi Chuyan, Han Zhao, Wei Qin, Qin."
"It's so hard and tired, you just say that Qin Shi Huang got it."
"Well, that's right, you can't understand it if you talk too much. I didn't expect you to do this at such a young age. Qin Xiangyun said that in the end, he was a little hesitant.
"Hehe, don't look at my sister who has a lot of ideas, don't think about it, I'm not a duck, she's my friend."
"Let's look at it, if you don't learn well, don't call me sister in the future, I can't afford it." Qin Xiangyun said with disgust.
"To tell you the truth, she knows the people from the Soviet embassy, and told me that she has a fellow who needs a Russian translator, and I thought of you directly."
"Forget it, I haven't practiced for a long time, so forget it." Qin Xiangyun muttered to himself.
"Actually, I'm looking for her husband to do something for my girlfriend,,,,"
"You, you have a girlfriend and you're still like this?"
"What age is it, and besides, foreigners don't care much about these things."
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Chatting with Tasha while eating, Guo Deguang seemed to regain his self-confidence.
"You don't have to give Zhang Xiaodi money, I said I would help you."
"I know you can help me, but I don't want my friends to do it for me as long as I can achieve it with money."
"You're the most attractive man I've ever met, but I don't appreciate anything about you."
"How is Zhang Xiaodi, is the cold getting better?" Guo Deguang diverted the topic.
"He was carried to me."
"What do you say? Carried away? β
"He fell down after you left, when he went downstairs to get the money you left behind. I was especially happy when I saw him fall, and I think it was my child who threw him down. β
"Then you're just looking at him like that?"
"I'm not as bad as him, I called an ambulance. Took him to the hospital. The school sent someone to take care of him. β
"It looks like he's going to have to spend the New Year in the hospital."
"You don't know what she was like in the Soviet Union before, and now she can at least afford to live in a hospital." Tasha said this with obvious sarcasm.
"The world is impermanent! The times make heroes! β
"What do you mean?" Tasha was a little confused by Guo Deguang's words. Guo Deguang also realized that Tasha was Ukrainian.
"Nothing interesting, your child, I mean the child you mentioned?" Guo Deguang asked her about something he cared about.
"It's me and Marcosi's child, and Zhang Xiaodi and I didn't have a child. Marcosi has a wife and children, I want this my child, Zhang Xiaodi doesn't want it. β
"Are you so sure that child is not you and Zhang Xiaodi's."
"It should be Marcosi and my child, I haven't been with Zhang Xiaodi much, that child must not be Zhang."
"I heard that Zhang Xiaodi can't do it here, and he can't satisfy you." Guo Deguang said as he pointed to his sensitive parts.
"You Chinese are so weird, you like to talk about others. Zhang Xiaodi is okay, it's not that he can't, he likes men, not women very much. He is like to be a woman. β
"I don't understand, I'm a little messy." Although Guo Deguang said this, he was very happy in his heart, if Wang Yan could go to Bincheng Medical College, TOEFL Zhang Xiaodi would be so relieved to take care of it!
"When he was in the Soviet Union, he had a good relationship with his doctoral supervisor." Tasha didn't say much. "There are some things I can't say, it's best not to get too close to Zhang Xiaodi."
"But my fiancΓ©e still has to ask him for school!" Guo Deguang said.
"His teacher is the one who gives him a Ph.D. student. In the USSR was cleaned up. β
"What? I'm even more confused. β
"I also found out later, I knew earlier, Zhang Xiaodi wouldn't dare to hurt me and my children."
After Guo Deguang heard it, he was really a little timid, and that was in the early eighties.
Tasha later told Guo Deguang that there was a "Chinese New Year" celebration party for the Chinese New Year's Eve this year, mainly attended by some Eastern European businessmen, as well as people from the embassy, asking him if he would like to go, and Qin Xiangyun, who mentioned the front desk. She can introduce some friends to him.
Guo Deguang thought that he would not always be able to rely on Boss Lai in the future, not to mention whether Boss Lai could let him rely on him forever. However, it is also good to have an opportunity like this to increase your knowledge and expand your network. Even if you go back and talk about it more, you won't lose anything by bragging.
made such a happy decision, Guo Deguang sent Tasha away, and made an appointment with Qin Xiangyun and Tasha to accompany him to buy clothes tomorrow (in fact, Tasha wanted to see Qin Xiangyun's Russian).
Finally, Guo Deguang called Li Jianmin.
"Brother Li, that's all I have to do!"
"What?" Chinese New Year" cocktail party. Say I'm the deputy manager of Datong Trading. β
"Okay,,,,"
