New Year's Day – the most famous holiday in the world. Early in the morning, Valery and I arrived at the embassy as usual. Mr. Li is already waiting for us, Valery, who is staring at the schedule these days, is a little anxious, Mr. Li's engineering team workers must go home during the Spring Festival, so some progress must be rushed out before the year!

Originally, our work was already full firepower, and it seemed that it was impossible to increase the size, but the Spring Festival is the most important thing for the Chinese, especially since most of our workers are from the countryside. They have a deep affection for the Chinese New Year, and their families are looking forward to their return.

In principle, it is impossible to start work in the half month from the first day of the new year to the fifteenth day of the new year. Valery was really reluctant to stop work for half a month.

At the meeting, everyone racked their brains to figure out how to arrange the project so as not to affect the progress of the project to the greatest extent. During the Spring Festival, Russian workers can not rest, Valery arranged for their weak current project and some other technical work to be carried out in advance......

Everyone counted the number of days before the shutdown, and suddenly Ji Ma said, no matter how to work overtime, today is the New Year, can you make an exception and get off work early?

At this moment, we realized that today is the New Year, the most important holiday in Russia, and it seems that everyone is really busy!

Every day in this closed construction site, almost isolated from the outside world, I am amazed that I have become unknowable!

At lunchtime, the chef told us that she specially prepared champagne and a sumptuous Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and everyone could have a good meal in the restaurant tonight.

Everyone laughed and said, it turns out that there is still one of us who remembers today's holiday, which is really not easy!

Valery was a little embarrassed to tell me that he had forgotten that it was the New Year, that their Russian employees would not be able to go home anyway, that it would not make much difference where the holidays were, and that I could not go home for a reunion, and he felt a little guilty.

I told him, you also saw it today, Mr. Li and they don't pay so much attention to New Year's Day and New Year's Day. According to Chinese customs, the Gregorian New Year is really not that important. We think the real New Year is the Spring Festival!

Valery smiled and said, Linna, you don't blame me, I'm old, I forgot that today is New Year's Day, fortunately the chef prepared a dinner, otherwise, I really feel so sorry for my colleagues.

I don't know if it's because I'm Valery's assistant, but I've never heard any dissatisfaction with Valery from any Russian employee. Today, too, I still don't hear anyone complain about Valery in front of me.

In the evening, colleagues happily gathered in the restaurant, and everyone enjoyed a delicious Chinese New Year's Eve dinner while watching the Russian "Blue Light Night" New Year's party.

In the Russian embassy, several huge satellite receivers have been installed, where all Russian television programs can be clearly received.

It was almost midnight and I received a call from Andrei.

He told me that he got up late because of today's rest, and when he looked at his watch, it was almost noon, and he was startled, afraid that I was already in the second day!

I said, his phone is just right, and we still have a few dozen minutes to go until 12 o'clock.

I asked Andrei how he planned to welcome the New Year.

Andrei said that he did not feel at all how to spend the New Year, and if he could, he would like to sleep soundly for the day.

André asked me that he had sent me an email at the beginning of the month asking me how I was spending Christmas, and I didn't even reply! To his dismay, his mother had told him to go home for Christmas, but he wasn't in the mood at all!

He went to the office after giving his employees a holiday for Christmas, and he said that he now finally understands why Sergei is so dedicated

I told him that after I returned to China, Facebook and other instant messaging apps that I had used abroad would not be available in China. Not only that, but the Russian documents I received in my registered mailboxes 126 and 163 were always garbled.

What's even more bizarre is that since I receive all overseas emails, my 126 mailbox is always disabled, and I have applied for unblocking twice...... It's not that I don't reply to his email, I can't use the email at all!

To be honest, so far, I haven't even bothered to see if I have received a New Year's card in my mailbox, let alone a reply to everyone, it seems that I really want to offend my friends this time.

It's a good thing I still have a phone call to get through, otherwise he would have wondered if I had gone to an alien planet!

I told him he really didn't know much about Asia! Here are our own customs and rhythms, and he has to know these differences!

Andrei said, Linna, how do I think I don't know you more and more, what kind of life do you really want?

I said, actually, I want a really simple life, and I can be satisfied with having a stable job to support myself! I know I'm not very talented, so I don't have any ambitions. I'm really one of those people who do nothing and are willing to be mediocre.

Andre said that among the people in this world who are busy all day long, who is not trying to chase fame and fortune and still enjoy it? This is the essence of human life!

I said, "What belongs to me in this world, I will enjoy it!" I don't feel aggrieved if I can't get it, and I feel at ease living like this.

Andre said, how can people have so much peace of mind? It's more about being involuntarily! Linna, are you going to live in a utopia forever?

I said, I can't talk about you Andre, but I can't be too wronged by my own heart.

Andre said that he remembered: Li Bailing said that Linna can live by drinking the northwest wind! In this way, the fireworks in the world are really not so attractive to me, a mermaid!
