Chapter 20 Day

In the First World War, the already crumbling Tsarist dynasty was overthrown by a group of men armed with scythes and hammers. Then a new empire was formed, which became one of the most powerful nations in the world. He survived World War II and then developed to become one of the two most powerful countries in the world, once competing with the current top powers.

This empire lasted almost throughout the twentieth century.

Now that the twentieth century has come to an end, this empire is about to retire from the stage of history. Of course, no country yet has been able to know what is really going on with him. The empire is still stirring up the international arena, and his strength has not diminished much at all.

Behind international disputes is his backing. In war-torn countries, it is common to see the active figures of the soldiers of this empire.

What about the actual situation? This empire is not as glamorous as it seems, and in order to develop heavy industry, this empire has abandoned many things, and even the daily necessities cannot meet the needs of the people, and the development is seriously deformed. Without a strong person to press back and recover, now the hidden danger is gradually breaking out.

If something goes wrong in this empire, it is an opportunity for Zhao Lun.

It's February, and the Spring Festival in China has arrived. With Zhao Lun's consent, the Spring Festival arranged by Angela began.

In the small courtyard, the Spring Festival couplets were pasted, the door was painted, the home was decorated, and it was cleaned to make her look brighter and warmer. After that, some Spring Festival food was prepared, the food was fragrant and lively, and everyone could feel the festive atmosphere.

Maria was the happiest, and the whole person was smiling all day long, and then stared at Zhao Lun, looking at him expectantly.

Of course, Zhao Lun knew what she was expecting and didn't want to disappoint her. So he also got into the festive mood and prepared what she liked according to her wishes.

What's even happier is that Monica and Hodal will finish their work early and come back early before the Chinese New Year.

Monica would come back for the Chinese New Year with them, and Hodal would come back once and then go home to be with his wife and children.

Hodar was married and had children, and he was a more traditional man. During the holidays, if you can return home, you will definitely be reunited with your family.

Zhao Lun has no reason to stop a man who wants to reunite with his family? Besides, he never went home for Christmas, and going back at this time is just to make up for it.

There was no one in Nicole's family, and she didn't go home for Christmas, let alone the Spring Festival, so she decided to spend it here. As for Angela, after coming out of the house, she didn't want to go back for a short time, the Spring Festival or something, for her, she wanted to go home a little, but as soon as she went home, it was trouble, forget it, just call and say hello.

What made Maria happiest was that Monica came back with a lot of snacks and toys, and then her brother gave them all, which made her very happy.

Gray Shadow, Ivy's two Labradors have grown up, and their bodies look more graceful and slender, and if they don't gnaw their bones and grind their teeth every day, they are like two elegant leopards. The two Wangxing people are now settled, except for playing with Maria, the rest of the time, they stay silently, monitoring the surroundings.

Hodar prepared New Year's gifts for the two of them in advance, which made Maria feel good.

Hodal's gift to him was an easter egg, and Maria's was also an easter egg, which was said to be a national treasure of the Russian Empire, and now it was a time when the Soviets were in chaos, and a lot of things were leaking out. When Hodal saw that it was beautiful, he bought it for a few dozen pounds and gave it to them as a gift.

Zhao Lun was speechless, such a valuable thing was sold so cheaply?

Zhao Lun liked it very much, thanked him, and told him that if he met in the future, he would try to collect it. Of course, he didn't forget to tell him that this thing is very precious, if he still has it in his hand, he must keep it carefully, this thing will appreciate in value in the future, and if he can collect a few now, he will make a lot of money.

Monica wore fashionable clothes that brought out her beauty to the fullest. Before the person arrives, the wonderful fragrance has arrived. This fragrance is very unique, it seems to be the fragrance of flowers, and it also seems to be her body fragrance.

The slender thermal leggings make her legs more slender and the whole person slimmer. The boots under her feet added another three points to her beauty. Her beauty took a suffocation to those present. The two big girls and the little girl were all impressed and looked at her brightly, and then the four of them gathered around and chatted about what to look like.

Several people formed a beautiful scenery, and then all of them were cheap Zhao Lun alone, looking at the beautiful scenery.

The weather has deteriorated, it looks like it's going to snow, Zhao Lun is very happy, if it doesn't snow, he will be a little uncomfortable, in his memory, at this time, it will snow.

After the snow and the fight, Maria began to toss Ivy and Grey Shadow again, letting the two dogs pull the sled.

Now two dogs, give Maria a sled easy and stress-free. Zhao Lun also sat down, and Ivy and Gray Shadow were also very relaxed. The three ladies were itchy to watch, and they also squeezed into the sleigh. The two dogs were very stupid and innocent and pulled hard, and then stuck out their tongues tiredly, gasping for air, and between their eyebrows and eyes, they formed an embarrassment, which looked very funny.

It's the rhythm of a real tired dog.

When night comes, you can occasionally see beautiful fireworks set off from the town and then explode in the air.

"I didn't think there were fireworks here?"

Angela was a little surprised, in her impression, Western countries should not set off fireworks, especially during the Spring Festival. Western newspapers have been criticizing fireworks for polluting the environment, and she has rarely seen fireworks in other cities.

"There are also fireworks, usually on a few major festivals, but of course, the liveliest is Chinatown, which is even livelier than that."

"Lion dance, dragon dance, drumming, monkey ......"

Nicole introduces Angela to Chinatown.

"Monkey? Is it also allowed to come out and tease the monkeys here? "Maria, I'm curious, and I want to see how people play monkeys.

"No, it's someone who is playing monkey with a stick and dressing up as a monkey, and he also has a bald teacher on a white horse, a pig-headed junior, and a bearded junior......" Nicole looked very professional.

"I know this, the story of the monkey, I've seen it!" Monica also joins in, refusing to let Nicole be beautiful.

Flutter! Zhao Lun and Angela didn't hold back and laughed all at once. Feelings Westerners understand Chinese masterpieces like this, which makes the two of them a little crying and laughing.

Nicole and Monica felt inexplicable, and then looked at themselves, the buttons were not crooked, there was no dirt on their bodies, everything looked normal, nothing funny.

"What's wrong?"

"Is it funny?"

"......" Maria's big eyes sparkled and she wondered what they were talking about.

"No, we just thought you two were talking very interestingly, and we couldn't help but laugh."

It's hard for the two to say anything about this aspect of culture, and it's not something that can be explained clearly in one or two sentences, so there's no need to entangle. I want them to understand, at most, I can read them more Chinese books in the future.

Although it is not the Spring Festival here, you can see a lot of merchants engaged in promotion, promoting this festival, what festival price discounts, discount promotions. Let Zhao Lun see a similar scene of Chinese businessmen promoting at Christmas.

At night, the fireplace in the hall is lit up, and the hall is brightly lit.

Bright and warm hall, large red candles burning.

The table was full of food.

Roast goose, roast suckling pig, sweet and sour fish, steak, lamb chops, meatballs, pizza, clam soup and so on, can be described as a combination of East and West.

Fruit salad next to it, a variety of vegetables and fruits, dazzling.

This year's Spring Festival felt a little unreal for Zhao Lun and Maria.

Zhao Lun's unreality came from one world to another different place, and after his efforts, he finally stabilized. The big and bright house, the warm fireplace, the roast goose, and the Maria, Nicole, Angela, and Monica in front of him silently told him that this time it was all true, and he didn't need to think about these things that were in the past.

Seeing Maria dressed up like a little princess, his mood also improved a lot.

Maria felt that more than a few months ago they were starving in a broken house, coming out to be beaten, living a precarious life, and the most important brother almost died. Now not only do they live in a big house, but they also have a delicious and hearty dinner, and most importantly, their older brothers are also very good, and then several big sisters come to take care of them, which is unthinkable.

"Brother."

Thinking of her brother, Maria came to Zhao Lun's side and sat with him.

Zhao Lun rubbed her little head and served her vegetables.

"Let's eat well and have a good time today."
