Chapter 41: Epiphany (1)

Yao's mother on the other side of the screen thought for a while and said, "This, I discussed with your father, considering that we are getting older and have inconvenient legs and feet, it is better to buy an elevator room." ”

"The disadvantage of the elevator room is that there is a public pool, and the floor is too high, in case of a fire, it is not easy to escape. Besides, the layout and lighting of the house are too important. This is a lot to say about buying a house. Mom, you and my dad have to do some research. Also, if you buy a new house, don't buy an off-plan house, buy an existing house. I've seen a lot of news on the Internet, and there are a lot of off-plan properties that have been unfinished, and the tenants have been cheated. ”

"What you're talking about is a problem, and you have to study it carefully."

"Mom, the house is definitely going to be bought, pick slowly, the surrounding supporting facilities, the community environment, the property, etc., all have to be considered. You and my dad take a look at the room, and if there is a photo, take more photos and send them to me, and I will help you with the staff. ”

"Okay, I got it."

After talking to her mother on the phone, Yao Jingjing felt more relaxed and in a much better mood. No matter how aggrieved and lonely she is in a foreign country, when she thinks of having her parents behind her, Yao Jingjing's heart is full of strength. No matter how difficult and dangerous the road ahead, she will definitely move forward.

After another few months, 2015 ended, and in 2016, Yao Jingjing and Sergei were still in a state of cold war, and they had not even met for many days, and Yao Jingjing gradually got used to living alone.

On this day, the snow on the farm was shoveled clean, and Yao Jingjing went to the farm on a whim to ride a horse. Yao Jingjing didn't know how to ride a horse before, but in her spare time, learning to ride a horse has become her hobby, which can also make her forget the loneliness in her heart for a while, and horseback riding is also a kind of sport, which is beneficial to physical and mental health. Now that she is riding on horseback, she no longer needs others to lead the horse, although she dare not say how good her equestrian skills are, but she will not be very bad. There has been no snow in Moscow recently, and Yao Jingjing basically comes to the farm every day to ride for a while.

After riding a few laps around the fence of the farm, a thin layer of sweat oozed from Yao Jingjing's forehead, and she was hearty.

After turning over and dismounting, Yao Jingjing exhaled a long breath of turbidity, it is really sports that make people happy!

"Madam, your riding skills are getting better and better." At this moment, a middle-aged man came over, speaking fluent English, this man's name was Maxim, he was the keeper of the farm, and he took care of the poultry on the farm.

"That's because you teach well." When Yao Jingjing learned to ride a horse, Maxim held the reins for her and taught her hand in hand.

Maxim smiled and said, "Madam, I have to take a day off in a few days, the farm is unattended, and if you come to ride a horse, you have to go to the stable to lead the horse yourself." ”

"You have something to do to leave the manor?"

"Yes, in a few days, on January 19th, on Epiphany, I promised my grandchildren to take them to the ice baths for baptism."

"Epiphany? What is this holiday? ”

"Epiphany is a traditional festival in our Russia, and every year on this day, Russians, both men and women, go to the ice baths for baptism, which is very interesting."

Yao Jingjing's eyes lit up, and she suddenly became interested, and asked, "Can a foreigner like me go to baptism?" ”

"Absolutely. Madam, if you want to go, let Natasha accompany you. ”

"Okay, I'll think about it."

Leaving the farm and returning to the bedroom, Yao Jingjing kept thinking about Epiphany, and specially searched for Epiphany on the Internet, and her inner interest became stronger and stronger, so she dialed Natasha's phone.

"Hey, ma'am, what's the instruction?"

"Hey, Natasha, I've heard that a few days are a holiday in your Russia, called Epiphany, and I want to go and see it too, I heard that there is going to be a baptism."

"Yes, it's for baptism, that is, to soak your whole body in ice water, the water is very cold, ma'am, is your body okay?" Natasha couldn't help but remind when she thought of Yao Jingjing's weak appearance.

Ice water? Yao Jingjing was a little jealous, but she couldn't help being curious, so she responded: "It's okay, you can do it, and I can do it." ”

"Alright then, ma'am, prepare a bathing suit."

"Okay, that's it."

In the evening, Sergei returned to the manor from outside, and the butler, Vera, was already waiting at the door with a group of maids, as was the case every day.

"Boss, you're back, I've prepared dinner, are you going to eat in the dining room, or will I bring you to the study?"

"No, I don't have much appetite, so I won't eat. By the way, what did Madame do today? ”

"Madame went to the farm in the afternoon for a little horseback riding, and spent most of the time in her room after that."

"Where's the meal?"

"Madame has a good appetite, and I have eaten all the food I sent."

Sergei nodded, went straight to the second floor, and came to the study. Since he fought Yao Jingjing last fall, the relationship between the two has been very estranged, and they have basically not spoken much, and he has been living in the guest room, and every day when he returns to the manor, he rushes into the study. Although he beat Yao Jingjing at that time, because he was too excited, he regretted it afterwards, and he started a little harder, but as a man, he didn't want to bow his head and apologize to Yao Jingjing, it was Yao Jingjing who challenged his bottom line first. Sergei originally thought that in a few days, Yao Jingjing would take the initiative to give in to him, but he didn't expect that both of them were stubborn, and neither of them bowed their heads first. Since Yao Jingjing didn't take the initiative, it was impossible for him, a big man, to take the initiative to sue for peace, so the two were at a stalemate. At the thought of this, Sergei was a little irritable.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

Sergei thought that Vera was bringing him coffee or something, but he didn't expect that it was Natasha who walked into the room, and Natasha was not wearing a black suit as usual, but changed into a burgundy tight sundress, a bumpy and good figure was undoubtedly revealed, and her face was covered with exquisite makeup, and her brown and yellow curly hair was lazily draped on her back, and the whole person looked charming.

Sergei raised his eyebrows in surprise, and a hint of caution flashed in his eyes. As a successful businessman who has been in the mall for a long time, he knows what will happen next, this kind of thing is not uncommon, and it is not the first time he has encountered it.

"Natasha? Do you have something to report? ”

"Can't I come to you if I'm fine?" There was a hint of explicit provocation in Natasha's tone, and she swayed to Sergei's side in her high heels, deliberately leaning against the table.

A strong smell of perfume came to his nose, Sergei frowned in disgust, and said, "Is there anything wrong with Madame?" ”

"Madame said she wanted to go to Epiphany and get baptized."
