In the blink of an eye, it's time for the "38" festival.

Early in the morning at work, colleagues in the office began to talk about the Russian custom of celebrating the "March 8th" festival.

In China, the celebration of this holiday is not as grand as in Russia.

Seeing the e-card sent by Sergey and Anton and Roman on Spype, I opened the mailbox......

Looked carefully twice and did not see any information about Andrei.

I stared blankly at the computer screen, depressed.

I don't know that the United States has the same celebration habits as Russia.

However, it seems that I have never received a greeting card or phone call from Andre about the 38th Festival.

It seems that Andrei did not have as much Russian customs as I did.

It is no wonder that he was studying for a PhD in Moscow for several years, and he had no contact with real Russian society. The Russians he knew and dealt with were teachers and classmates at our academy.

In general, Andrei has had much less contact with Russians than I do.

Depressed, I looked at the computer screen, but my mind had already run to the clouds......

In a trance, I saw: the house full of flowers in 702, the smiling faces of Xiaoxing and Miao Miao that occasionally flashed, and the figures of classmates who faintly came and went......

I saw Andrei hold a large bouquet of flowers in front of me, but I didn't seem to see the bouquet clearly, just stared at Andrei's focused, bright eyes......

I blocked out the sound in the office, and I didn't notice what everyone was doing.

Suddenly, my thoughts were interrupted by a loud burst of laughter, and I woke up to reality.

I looked around and found that I didn't know when Lu Tao came, he leaned against the partition in front of Xiaobai's desk and looked at Xiaobai slyly.

The others in the office were looking at the two of them and laughing.

I heard Xiaobai shouting anxiously: "Why do I owe you one yuan, obviously you gave me one hundred and I paid you one hundred, how can I have a debt of one yuan?" 》

I heard Lu Tao say:

- "Then we'll do the math again." ”

Xiaobai looked at him and listened to him carefully.

It turned out that Lu Tao was telling a joke about a brain teaser. It is easy for people with some experience to hear the pitfalls in his jokes, but Xiaobai doesn't seem to realize this. She still followed Lu Tao and thought down with her thoughts.

After Lu Tao finished speaking, he said:

- "How?" I've figured it out enough, right? You owe me a dollar like that! Right? ”

Bai Yujing looked at him with a confused face, unable to think of a reason.

At this time, Jia Zhijie couldn't help it, she raised her head and looked at Xiaobai and said:

- "You follow his routine, you can't figure it out, the money here is poured around like this, it's a pit, don't think about it." ”

Unexpectedly, Xiaobai, who was depressed by Lu Tao's algorithm, listened to her words, not only did she not understand, but she even shouted to Jia Zhijie angrily:

- "We're settling accounts, don't bother!" This makes it even more unclear to me. ”

Jia Zhijie, who had touched a gray nose, looked at his computer screen with a contemptuous and mocking expression, and no longer bothered Xiaobai.

Xiaobai's reaction left everyone speechless.

Lu Tao also smiled, he told Xiaobai again, and then said:

- "Don't worry, you think slowly, and you can tell me when you're ready!" ”

I lowered my head and secretly laughed at Xiaobai's stubbornness and Lu Tao's unkindness.

- "What are you laughing at?" Suddenly, a big hand fell on my desk, I was startled, and when I looked up, I saw Lu Tao's smiling face.

- "I...... I didn't laugh at anything" I looked at Lu Tao in front of me for a while, and I didn't know what to say, so I flatly denied it.

- "Whew! Lu Tao said with a wicked smile meaningfully.

I looked at him with some disgust, and thought to myself, isn't Lu Tao looking for trouble? Does he want me to offend Xiaobai too?

Lu Tao also seemed to see my dissatisfaction with him, and he leaned over to my desk with a smile on his face and asked flatteringly:

- "I just came in to hear you talk about the fact that this festival of "Goddesses" is quite important in Russia. How are you going to celebrate today? ”

Lu Tao's question made me another surprise. I looked at him and smiled and said slowly:

- "In the past two years since I returned to China, I seem to have forgotten about the celebration of the "March Eighth" Festival, and I follow the customs of the locals, in fact, this is really not an important festival, we have so many interesting festivals, which are more fun than the "March Eight Festival". If you want to talk about how to celebrate, I don't even feel the slightest feeling! ”

- "How can you celebrate?" That is, to give female compatriots a half-day off, and at most one movie ticket. Wang Mei said.

Before Wang Mei's words fell, she saw her husband Wang Guoqiang walking into the office and shouting at everyone:

- "Good news! The company gives female compatriots a holiday in the afternoon! And each person also has a movie ticket, and this time the male compatriots also have one. If there is any need in each department, a male colleague will be left on duty, and if there is no special need, you can go to the movies. Now, each department sends one person to pick up movie tickets. ”

Everyone laughed at the company's celebrations, which was really uncreative.

Wang Mei said proudly, let me say it all

Let's do it! Hao Cuifang said, what else do you say about the "Goddess" Festival, this male compatriot has not lost any benefits, and there is no need to take a holiday or anything in the future "38" Festival, just send money to female compatriots.

Hearing her say this, it was the first time that our female colleagues in the office agreed with Xiao Hao's remarks in unison.
