Chapter 416: Old Maozi

The Spring Festival is coming soon, and Director Zhu and Deputy Director Cheng have already set off for China. The dedicated Mr. Wang finally remembered the Spring Festival today. She asked me to schedule a meeting with the local construction bureau until the second day of the Lunar New Year.

On the phone, the old director of the Construction Engineering Bureau happily agreed with me on the time for the meeting, and he also wished us a happy Spring Festival in advance.

In the evening, Mr. Wang had dinner with us, and she asked with a smile:

- "It's just me and you children here, how do you want to spend the Spring Festival?" ”

Xiaobai and Xiaoshi and I looked at each other, to be honest, we really don't know how to spend this Spring Festival.

Xiaoshi, Xiaobai This is the first time to spend the Spring Festival abroad, and they really have no concept of the Spring Festival in Russia.

What about me? I didn't spend the Spring Festival in Russia a lot, but I didn't seem to have done anything other than looking for a place to watch the Spring Festival Gala.

Mr. Wang listened to my words and asked with a smile:

- "Linna, your boyfriend is abroad, how did they spend the Spring Festival there?" Isn't it the same as Moscow's? ”

- "Haha...... He never celebrates the Spring Festival! I covered my mouth and smiled

Everyone looked at me with surprised expressions.

- "He's Swiss and doesn't have any idea of Chinese New Year. I said.

- "Did their family immigrate to Switzerland a long time ago?" It's not even the Spring Festival, so can he still speak Chinese? "Mr. Wang is obviously very interested in my boyfriend's situation.

- "He is not Chinese, his grandfather is an immigrant from England, his grandmother is a Swiss native, and his mother immigrated to Switzerland from Italy. I explained.

- "Wow! I thought, hehe...... Also, it shouldn't be surprising that your boyfriend is a foreigner. Mr. Wang smiled

- "Sister Lin, your boyfriend is a foreigner, why have I never heard you say it?" Xiaobai looked at me in surprise and asked.

- "None of you asked me?" I replied with a smile.

- "What does he look like?" Is it like Maozi? Xiao Shi asked

- "Hehe...... It's really like Mao's," I said.

- "Do you have a picture of him?" Mr. Wang then asked.

- "I'll look for it," I opened my notebook and searched for Andrei's picture.

- "There are a few of them!" I said, clicking on a few photos of me and Andrei, as well as a few solo photos of him.

- "Oh! This muscle! Mr. Wang exclaimed

- "It's scary! Xiaobai looked at the photo of Andre playing beach volleyball topless, and was a little frightened.

- "Haha...... It's so strong! The Swiss are just like Maozi! Xiao Shi said with a smile.

- "Sister Lin, aren't you afraid of him? Xiaobai asked me with sympathetic eyes.

- "What are you afraid of him?" He didn't dare hit me! I laughed at Xiaobai's question.

- "But what if? Look at how strong he is! Xiaobai was still not at ease, and looked at me suspiciously and asked.

- "Hahaha......" I looked at her and smiled happily

- "They say that Lao Maozi beats his wife at home!" Xiao Shi said

- "This can't be said to be none, domestic violence is a problem all over the world, and it doesn't just happen in Russia, right?" I said

- "Linna's boyfriend is Switzerland, and he can be as savage as Lao Maozi!" Mr. Wang said

- "Haha, I think he is actually quite savage, and he did fight with Maozi, but he has never beaten me, nor has he fought the Chinese." He didn't dare to beat women, no woman dared to beat any country! I smiled and looked at Xiaobai and said

- "Linna, your boyfriend is romantic, isn't he?" Mr. Wang looked at the photo of Andre standing in the lake with his arms around me and asked.

- "Hmm! I agree with that. I looked at Mr. Wang and said with a smile.

- "Some people say that it is difficult for those who have found a foreigner boyfriend to fall in love with Asian men anymore, is that true?" Mr. Wang looked at me and asked.

I opened my eyes wide, shrugged my shoulders and said:

- "I just had a boyfriend for him, and I really can't compare that." ”

Mr. Wang looked at me and smiled.

- "Sister Lin, you are also Ermaozi, right? Xiaobai asked

- "Xiaobai still has vision, Lu Tao recognizes me as a Xinjiang person, but I am not Ermaozi, I should be Sanmaozi." I said

- "What kind of eyes does Lu Tao have!" Sister Lin, the first time I saw you, I thought you were Maozi! Xiaobai said proudly.

- "Huh...... I also think you are Maozi, at least Ermaozi," Xiaoshi said

- "Hahaha......" I laughed

Lao Maozi is referred to as Maozi, a term that appeared in northern China, especially in Northeast China, in the late Qing Dynasty, to refer to Russians, the earliest, a contempt for foreign invaders by the Chinese people. This extends to Ukraine (Ermao) and Belarus (Baimao). The term is now commonly used as a joke on the Internet.

At the end of the Qing Dynasty, Tsarist Russia invaded a large area of China, because the Northeast people had earlier contact with the Russians and knew the Russians relatively better, so the Northeast people combined the hairy physical characteristics and barbaric temperament of the Russians to create this name.

The Chinese-Russian half-breed is called "Ermaozi". People with one-half Russian ancestry and one-half Chinese ancestry are called Ermaozi. People who are one-quarter Russian, three-quarters Chinese, are called Sanmaozi, and so on, but the term "Simaozi" is rare.
