Chapter 104: Playing Home
There were no days off for the next two weeks. I go out early and come home late every day, and I'm tired to death.
At the end of the week, Andrei complained that he thought he was going to become a monk after I went home, but he didn't expect him to start practicing last week, so he might as well let me go home sooner, so he could concentrate on his practice.
I told him that you better give me another week of good practice, and that a good look at your paper is better than anything else.
The following week was not only a lot of work, but the weather was also troublesome and snowed heavily for several days.
It's finally time for the holidays, December 23rd. I arranged the final matters of the unit, and before going home, I stopped by the flower shop and bought a large bouquet of flowers.
Andrei, who was reading the paper on the computer, looked at the flowers in my hand and asked me in surprise:
- "Who sent you flowers?" β
- "Myself! I said.
- "Are you ignoring me because I didn't buy you flowers?" Andrei asked.
- "There's a reason. I teased him.
- "Why didn't you say it earlier?" Andrei asked me seriously.
- "Hahaha...... "I really think this fool Andrei is ridiculous."
I asked him if he had dinner? Andrey said that he had been eating in the cafeteria lately and that he didn't expect me to go home for dinner. He didn't know what to prepare. I said let's go out and buy some food, how about we start the holiday in the next few days? Andre said that he saw that I didn't have time to talk to him, and he didn't even have the mood to celebrate the holidays.
When I opened my eyes on December 24, it was already noon, and it was an unexpectedly sunny day, and there were only a handful of days in Moscow in winter where you could see clear skies and suns. The heavy snow that has been falling for several days has blanked Moscow in white. Andrei was still asleep at the end of his practice. I went to the window and looked at the pink world in the sun, which made a particularly beautiful picture with the flowers on my windowsill.
Sit on the windowsill and enjoy the view in front of you. I don't know when Andrei came behind me and said:
- "Baby, you sit here with so little clothes, aren't you afraid of freezing?" β
Leaning on Andrei's warm body, I felt that the window was really cool.
I said Andrey, you see how good the weather is today, how about we go out and play in the snow?
Andrei's excited eyes lit up. We discussed that we could have a barbecue in the snow, which was especially fun.
Andrei happily went to the shop below to buy ingredients for the barbecue.
I knocked on the doors of my gluttonous neighbors and told them that in a while, everyone would go out for a barbecue.
Except for Li Bailing, who was not in the dormitory, everyone else actively responded.
I saw that Jin Li's husband Zhang Yunpeng was actually there. I asked him why did you get back? Jin Li smiled and said, the goods have been sent to Moscow, what is he doing in the country? I asked them how the goods went. Zhang Yunpeng said that he was relieved that the goods were basically out in two weeks. I said that I was not only relieved, but I must have made a lot of money, so let's celebrate together today! Zhang Yunpeng said that they should prepare the ingredients for the barbecue. I said, Andrei has already gone to buy it, you guys participate, just contribute your barbecue grill.
In the woodland outside the campus, we found an open field, where Andrey, Daric, Basha, Figor, and Marie Sauer built two big snowmen together. Qiu Si, Jin Li, Zhang Yunpeng, Rosa and Adris and I prepared a barbecue.
Marie Sauer and AndrΓ© and Figol studied how to make other snow sculptures, and their work was not very stunning, but it was quite presentable.
Zhang Yunpeng said to me while eating barbecue:
- "Linna, I told Jin Li yesterday that if you were in China, you could have a few hot pot meals at a hot pot restaurant on a snowy day, and it would be a really good day, but it would be too boring to live in Moscow."
Jin Li said
- "That's you can't live, you see, Lina, how did they know to barbecue in the snow, I've been in Moscow for so long, and it's the first time I know that you can barbecue in winter, and it's really fun to have a fire in the snow." β
Zhen Yunpeng said:
- "I know that Russians have barbecues in the snow, but I've never been interested in going there myself, but today I think it's quite interesting." β
Jin Li said to me:
- "You see, Linna, if you and Zhang Yunpeng can't live a day, he is such a person who has no interest. β
Zhang Yunpeng said;
- "Hey, Jin Li, you didn't say that when you ate my cooking! β
I smiled and said to Jin Li:
- "It's true, Zimei took a bite of Andre's salad and began to sympathize with me. Jin Li, Andre's cooking, I don't think you can eat a bite! β
We were talking and laughing here, and Andrei ran over to me, took me by the hand and said:
- "Come, dear, I'll do a magic trick for you!" β
I saw that they made some simple apples, pears and oranges, and the snow sculptures of the grapes were inserted on the snowman with barbecue signatures, and Andre poured wine on these snow-made fruits and lit them, and the snow-white fruits were immediately surrounded by a layer of blue flames, which was very strange and beautiful. I almost exclaimed:
- "It's beautiful, Andrey! β
Everyone was amazed by Andre's approach.
We all complimented him on how genius he was.
Rosa said that next time it would be better for Andre to say it in advance, she would be able to take this picture, but this time she didn't have time.
Andre said that he just wanted to surprise Linna, so he couldn't say it in advance.
Andrei looked at me smugly as he ate the barbecue. I looked at Andre and thought to myself, I really love this guy.
At this time, Zhang Yunpeng said;
- "Andrey, you want to surprise Linna, I have no objection. But you can't use all my bottle of liquor. I brought this from China, and I didn't drink much today, so you poured it out. β
Andrei said with a smile;
- "Don't feel distressed, Zhang Yunpeng, I'll give it back to you, isn't it just a bottle of liquor!" β
εΌ δΊιΉ says:
- "It's not a bottle of wine, I think you can order this with alcohol, you don't think it's a waste to use liquor?" β
Andrei looked at him and smiled, eating barbecue without speaking.
Jin Li said;
- "See! Linna, Zhang Yunpeng doesn't know what it means to be a daughter, what am I talking about......"
I laughed and said;
- "Zhang Yunpeng thinks that we will not live!" β
Zhang Yunpeng said;
- "You two don't call it a life, you are a family!" β
