We are really not far from Horlinsk. In about half an hour or so, our car was already driving into the town of Holinsk.

The town was even smaller than I expected, with only a few hundred meters of street lined with wooden fences. Within the walls are the houses of the townspeople.

Our car drove almost to the innermost part of the street. Peter got out of the car, walked over with a smile on his face, and said that this was it.

I looked at the dilapidated wooden door and felt that this garden was really old.

Sergei rang the door of the courtyard.

Yuri opened the door, and he clearly didn't expect it to be us, and blurted out:

- "Seryosha, Lina?!" ——”

Yuri wears a thick dark sweater with a fluffy gray ear bag and cotton gloves. Looks like he's shoveling snow in the yard.

Sergei informed Yuri when we set out from Chita, but the ensuing snowstorm made us lose contact.

Yuri said he thought we were in a snowstorm and were heading back! He asked how we got here.

Sergei replied with a smile, and it was hard to explain.

Dropping us off at our destination, Peter said goodbye to us. Yuri invited him to come in with us, and Peter said that he would be relieved to send us here, and that he still needed to go to the next place to make an inspection, so he would stop bothering us.

Before leaving, Peter handed me his business card and told me that he could call him at any time if he needed anything.

Looking at the back of Peter's police car leaving, Sergey said approvingly:

- "He's a nice boy!" ”

- "I think so too!" Yuri said with a smile and a nod.

Yuri's yard is much bigger than I thought. I saw that he had almost cleared the snow from the road leading to the courtyard gate and garage. The snow on the side of the road is more than a meter high, and it seems that the scale of this snow is indeed not small.

Yuri opens the garage door and lets us drive the car inside. The garage was also more spacious than I expected. There was also an old and somewhat dilapidated Volga sedan parked inside. I suspect that the car must have been left behind by Yuri's father, but I didn't see Yuri's own car here.

Yuri today isn't as unsmiling as I've seen in the past. He was unusually kind and kind, and took Sergei and invited us to his house with a smile and a smile.

I feel that this is another standard house of a Russian house. The furnishings in the interior are also very simple, and you can't see any fashionable household appliances, so it's easy to recognize that this is an old man's residence.

Yuri invited us to sit in the living room, which also had a large fireplace, and I happily leaned in front of it to make a fire.

Yuri saw it, added a few more pieces of wood to the fireplace, and said:

- "I'll go get some firewood." ”

Sergei was going to help him, Yuri looked at Sergei's expensive suit and said with a smile:

- "I see, Seryosha, let's wait for you to change your clothes and help me chop firewood!" ”

Yuri went out to get firewood, I looked at Sergei and said:

- "Now, I understand, he came all the way to let you come to help him chop wood!" ”

Sergei shrugged at me and didn't speak.

After a while, Yuri came in with a large chunk of birch and placed it by the fireplace.

I don't know how long Yuri and Sergey will be talking, so I asked:

- "Sergey, will we be able to return to Chita today?" ”

At this moment, Yuri's phone rang.

Sergei looked at me for a moment, as if he didn't know how to answer.

Yuri happily walked over after answering the phone and said:

- "You're really lucky stars. As soon as you arrived, the signal was also given...... Haha, Lina, you don't have to go back today. I'm glad I know you're coming, I bought something to eat yesterday, so you can rest well...... Seryosha tells us how you got here, I think there must be a story! Huh"

Yuri arranged for me to be in a very warm and comfortable room. On the wall hangs a picture frame with a black-and-white photograph of a yellowed young woman. Women are not very beautiful. However, his facial features are upright, and he feels very smart and comfortable. I stared at the picture. Yuri said to me with a smile;

- "My mother, this is her former room. ”

- "Thank you, Yuri! Let me stay in your mother's room, your mother is beautiful. I said

Looking at this neat single bed, I smiled and said:

- "We spent the night in the house of the Buryats, and they misunderstood my relationship with Sergei and arranged for us to live in a room, so that Sergei could only sleep on the floor. However, I was somewhat relieved that they gave us a single bed, which could not sleep two people anyway. ”

- "Is it a single bed like this?" Yuri asked, pointing to the bed.

I nodded.

- "Don't worry, Linna, I'll arrange a room for Seryosha too." Still, haha...... You are really the children of the city, you all grew up sleeping Simmons!

Lina, the Buryats have arranged a double bed for you! This is the standard size of a double bed in a Russian house. Yuri said with a smile

- "Huh?! "Thinking back to that bed, I think Sergei barely slept alone.

I thought I knew everything about Russia, but now I was really ashamed of what I saw.
