Chapter 132 All-Russian Exhibition Center

After lunch, Andrei asked me where I wanted to play.

I would like to go to the All-Russian Exhibition Center. It is said that a new Shenzhen pavilion has opened there that sells Chinese goods.

The All-Russian Exhibition Centre is abbreviated as BDHX. Completed in 1939, it is the oldest and largest exhibition center in Moscow and Russia, with more than 250 majestic buildings of various types, pleasant parks, unique fountains and ponds in the center. Before World War II it was an all-Soviet agricultural exhibition hall.

On May 28, 1958, the exhibitions of agriculture, industry and science and technology were integrated into one and renamed the National Economic Achievement Exhibition Hall. On June 23, 1992 it was renamed the All-Russian Exhibition Center.

Since the 90s, it has gradually become a modern logistics center. Many foreign and Russian companies rent shops and sell household appliances, electronics, groceries, clothing, shoes and hats

Behind the atomic energy hall on the right side is a not-so-large pavilion, rented by the Chinese and called the "Shenzhen Pavilion".

Don't look at this humble pavilion, but it is one of the origins of the development of Chinese in BDHX. Chinese people have a deep affection for it, and the history of struggle of many people began here.

The square in front of the exhibition hall is extremely open, and I told Andrei that when I first went to Red Square, I thought that it could not be counted as a square, it was too narrow, and it was almost the same as a street! This open space in front of BDHX is considered a square.

On the north-east side of the BDHX gate, there are famous metal statues on the porch: workers and women communicators of the collective farm, holding scythes and axes in their hands. It is a fine example of the sculptural art of the Soviet era. The Moscow Film Studio used it as the title of the film.

We always felt that it was too far away from us, and we couldn't see such a beautiful work.

Andrei asked me if there was anything I wanted to buy, and I said I didn't have specifics, so I wanted to go there. Andrei said why don't we go on the Ferris wheel. We haven't done it in Moscow yet. This advice is fantastic! I was thrilled by the feeling of the Ferris wheel on the ground, and after I got down, I took Andre to see the famous Fountain of National Friendship. The Fountain of National Friendship is composed of a group of golden sculptures, with a huge golden ear of wheat standing in the middle, and the water column of the fountain is in the air, and the water droplets splash down, and the sound is huge. Surrounded by 15 gilded bronze statues of women of various nationalities, holding various fruits, representing the friendship of the peoples of the 15 republics of the former Soviet Union. At the other end of the square is a fountain of Ural colored gemstones, in the shape of swans and sturgeons in the water.

Although there is no spring water in winter, the dazzling sculptures are still dazzling and gorgeous in the snow.

André and I frolicked around the sculpture of the fountain. I saw Andrei's happy smiling face, his nimble figure and his smug and mischievous look every time he found me. It's been a long time since we've had this kind of fun.

When I looked up, I saw Jin Li and Zhang Yunpeng standing not far away, looking at us. Jin Li wore a gorgeous brown mink coat, and Zhang Yunpeng also wore a black short mink coat with a black mink hat, and they looked like typical Moscow bosses.

Andre and I jumped up and ran over to greet them. I asked them if they were here to play too?

Zhang Yunpeng looked at me and said with a smile, they are not in the same mood as us, they rented a counter in the Shenzhen Pavilion to sell evening dresses. This is the one who came out to meet us. Andre said that Zhang Yunpeng's gameplay is more advanced than ours, and he treats making money as entertainment.

Jin Li said that when they were passing by here, they saw me and Andrei playing here, and she thought it was Russians. She said to Zhang Yunpeng, you see how much Russian children can play. They're wearing this outfit for Valentine's Day. Zhang Yunpeng also thought that it was the Russians and said to Jin Li, what are you comparing with Russian children, this is the first time they have celebrated Valentine's Day, of course they are excited, these children don't know who will spend time with whom next year, what is there to envy. Jin Li didn't listen to him and took a closer look, it was me and Andre.

Looking at what Jin Li and his family were wearing, and then looking at the white sweaters that Andre and I looked like a couple's shirt, I suddenly felt that Andre and I might really feel like we hadn't grown up.

Jin Li asked me

- "Linna, aren't you cold when you wear so little?" ”

- "It's not cold! I laughed.

- "I'm so fat and I feel cold!" Jin Li rubbed her hands and said.

- "Look at how they run, if you want to run like this, you won't be cold." Zhang Yunpeng said.

- "Haha, yes! Jin Li, why don't you try it too, it's warmer to run than a fur coat. I said with a smile.

- "Hey! We're too old to run. Zhang Yunpeng replied.

- "Forget it, Zhang Yunpeng, you are only in your thirties and said that you are old, how will you live in a few years?" What's the use of you and us? We don't pay you a pension. Don't pretend to be an old man in front of us, okay? "I grabbed a few words of Zhang Yunpeng, and I really don't agree with his statement.

- "Linna, I can't tell you kid! Zhang Yunpeng said.

- "Hear me, Jin Li, your husband actually calls me a child, he is really not afraid to call himself old!" I said to Jin Li with some dissatisfaction.

- "Haha, Linna, Zhang Yunpeng is really a little old man. He's always been an old man mentality. I'm not interested in anything, so what do you say? ”

- "Who said that Zhang Yunpeng is not interested in anything, don't believe it, if you want to say that you can make money by running here, I guarantee that Zhang Yunpeng is happier than all of us!" Andrei said with a smile.

- "Haha,...... It seems that Andre still understands Zhang Yunpeng," Jin Li said with a smile.

- "Now, I can't run away with money!" I really feel old," Mr. Zhang said.
