Chapter 272: Look at the house
Tasha's words made me pause, and it was the same thing when I thought about it. If you want to sell your house, you should put up a notice! I was a little embarrassed by her, but I pulled out the few notes that were left in my trouser pocket.
"Are you really that optimistic about that house?" Tasha suppressed her smile and asked me seriously.
"Aunt Tasha, I really don't know this, I just saw the notice on the way here, and I tore the note off. I knew it wasn't right, but I couldn't control my emotions. I just want to stop others from competing with me to buy a house! I spoke my heart.
"But you don't know if this house is good?" I felt that Tasha couldn't accept my approach.
"I also read the notice, saying that it is near the Normal University, and I am gradually getting familiar with the neighborhood, and I think it is okay here, and besides, I can still ask you to teach me English!" I don't know how to say it, who knows how to think about learning English.
"You're missing your mother! Your mom is in New Zealand, you told me about this! "It seems that Tasha is such a sentimental woman!
"Uh-huh, even if it's it! We're still learning English in class, and it's easy to deal with other subjects, but I don't know English at all.
The girl I was chasing before spoke very good English, but, now, I can't pursue her anymore! "I started babbling again.
"Dunzi, I'm a little familiar with your phone number! You go over there and bring me the notebook that keeps you on the phone. Tasha said, pointing to the notebook next to the phone.
"The last four digits of this number are 1230, and this number has special significance for our Soviet Union, which is equivalent to your National Day, because our Soviet Union was founded on that day." Tasha said to me as I got her address book.
"I didn't say that the advertisement for the sale of the house was Soviet! The contact person said it was a lady with a surname or something. "I don't believe it could be this coincidental.
"Look! This is the phone number of Alexei's house! He was an ardent Bolshevik. I remember a few years ago, on the 30th of December, when we Soviets in China were at a party, he told me his home phone number. With that, Tasha showed me the notebook with the phone number.
Tasha showed me that the number on the notebook was indeed the same as the one on my note. In front of this number, there is also a string of letters, which I think must be Russian.
"Maybe he changed his number, maybe he left China and didn't need this number!" I began my own reverie.
"I've been to a drinking party with him recently, Christmas, National Day, and even your Spring Festival, just two days ago. But he came with his wife that day, and she didn't seem to be very happy that day, and they left quickly. Tasha recalled.
"Then it should be him, and that lady should be his wife! But why sell the house so well! ”
"Isn't it him and his wife,,," Tasha said and stopped at this point.
"Then I can't make this call! I just wanted to buy a house, and as for why they sold it,,, "I can't even say."
"Let me ask you!" With that, Tasha asked me to help her to the phone, and then dialed the phone.
After hanging up the phone, Tasha first greeted in Russian, then in Chinese, and then for nearly half an hour, Tasha basically communicated with Alexei on the other end of the phone in Russian.
I was intrigued at first, but the more I listened, the more bored I became. Eventually, I couldn't stay any longer, so I wandered around the house.
"Dunzi! Your house is ready to buy. The price he said was 230,000, and he could go through the formalities with you tomorrow. ”
"Ahh It's so expensive! Me, can I not buy it? What did you tell people? "When I heard Tasha say 230,000, I was a little confused. I thought about spending about 100,000 yuan to buy a house, but I didn't expect it to cost 230,000 yuan.
"This one is already very cheap and his house is very good. Because I gave you 20,000 dollars cheaper. If he hadn't been in a hurry to return to China, you wouldn't have been able to buy such a good house at this price. "Tasha tried her best to sell me the house.
"Does his wife know about this? Didn't you say that he and his wife were angry when you last met them? "I don't want me to pay, tomorrow my daughter-in-law will come back to ask for a house. You're gone, Aliksei, and I have to come back to this house!
"Of course, I also asked about that day, and Alexei said that it was because he had not agreed with his wife about whether he would return to China. Now they are on the same page, and in a few days they are ready to go back to the USSR together. Judging by Tasha's expression, she seemed a little unhappy.
"You want to go back too! You also want to go back to the USSR like Alexei, right? ”
I didn't expect to see Tasha crying, which made me confused.
"Aunt Tasha, I don't, I mean to say you go home, it's not that you have to know the Soviet Union, I still have to learn to skate with you! I'm going to ,,, more."
"I don't blame you. I just don't think our country is too quiet right now.
Don't talk about this, you kid can't understand it. Didn't you say you were going to take me out? You're a man, and you're going to keep your promises. Go to the school clinic and borrow me a wheelchair! ”
Tasha is a man for a while, and a child for a while, which makes me a little confused. Anyway, whatever Aunt Tasha asks me to do, I just have to do it.
More than a year later, a few months after I was in the third year of junior high school, Qin Xiangyun took his daughter Qin Sixu back to Ukraine with Tasha. After they left, I suddenly remembered the day when Tasha called. In December of my third year of junior high school, the Soviet Union collapsed. Let's talk about that later!
I followed the route Tasha had told me and tried to find the infirmary of the Provincial Normal University. As soon as I explained my intentions, a man in a white coat pushed me out of a wheelchair.
The wheelchair didn't look new, it looked very clean. I pushed it and it felt a little astringent.
"Maybe it's been a long time since no one used it, and the lubricating oil on the wheels is dry! Otherwise, you can go to the equipment room on the left hand side and get another one, or ask them to lubricate the wheelchair. "The person who looks like a doctor saw that I was a little hesitant, so he took the lead, I guess he was also afraid of trouble!
I pushed the cart to the equipment room, and they were very polite when they received me. After a while, he touched the four wheels of the wheelchair with some lubricating oil to a greater or lesser extent, and then specifically told me not to get the lubricating oil on my body, that thing is not easy to wash.
Pushing the wheelchair to Tasha's dormitory, I broke a branch to remove the excess lube from the four wheels of the wheelchair.
Upstairs, Tasha was ready. I saw that she just had an extra fur coat on the outside, and I said to her, "Aunt Tasha! You'd better wear more, although the temperature has been okay for the past two days, but it's quite cold in your wheelchair! ”
"You leave me alone, we Ukrainians are not afraid of the cold." Tasha didn't listen to my advice and stuck to her own style.
"Just wait! If you come back with a fever, don't blame me. I said to her angrily.
At first, Tasha wanted to go downstairs on crutches by herself. I thought to myself, that's not going to work, what if Tasha falls! Tasha's leg injury hasn't healed yet, and the guard on her leg hasn't been removed yet, so if she breaks it, I really can't afford it!
After some arguments, Tasha was picked up by me. When I went downstairs, I was holding a crutch in one hand and a wheelchair in the other, and the posture was amazing.
Somehow, I suddenly remembered the scene of Guo Shuiling on my back. This time it was replaced by Tasha, and it still felt a little heavy. Fortunately, I didn't have to go downstairs in a few steps, and I opened the wheelchair first, and then gently put Tasha on the wheelchair.
"Aunt Tasha, the wheels of this wheelchair just touched the glycerin, don't get your clothes dirty!" I reminded her carefully.
"I said how could it smell bad when I went downstairs! It seems that you are still very careful, but the taste of this oil is not good! Tasha seemed to care about the glycerin.
"Where do you want to go? Aunt Tasha! It's still early for dinner! ”
"Let's go see the house you're buying! You keep going forward, cross two streets and you're there. "Tasha seems to really want these fellows!
"Ahh I'm out! "I'm pushing Tasha forward! Tasha suddenly screamed.
"What are you doing Aunt Tasha, you scared me!"
"Hahaha, look, it's snowing! You said those snowflakes, are they greeting me! Tasha asked me expectantly.
"Yes! You're that, that princess! Yes, that Snow White. ”
"Are you quite my prince?" Tasha looked back at me with her big, doll-like eyes.
"Huh? Prince? Yes! Okay, you're my mom? I am your son. "To be honest, I really don't know what princess, prince or whatever!
"Are you saying I'm old?" Tasha was a little disappointed.
"No! Aunt Tasha is the prettiest foreigner I've ever met. It's also the most beautiful in China. "I don't know what to say.
"When you're old, you're old, you don't have to lie to me." Tasha said, "The building in front is the Alexei house!" Her house should be on the fourth floor! ”
Tasha's words made me look up, since she said that the house was good, it was good. I weighed the money I had and thought it would be enough. I don't know if he will be angry if he moved the 200,000 fixed deposit that my father gave me!
It's just that I didn't think about it at that time, and I should discuss this matter with Fan.
