Chapter 7: Back to the Country
"Jingjing, wake up, wake up." Sergei leaned down and gently patted Yao Jingjing's cheek.
Yao Jingjing muttered, woke up slowly, and saw Sergei's smiling face.
"Early."
"Jingjing, it's time to get up, let's go through the formalities."
"What's the formality?" Yao Jingjing pretended to be puzzled, and closed her eyes again.
"We agreed last night, and we will go through the divorce procedures today."
"No, no."
Sergei smiled indulgently and said, "I'm playing with a child's temper again." Hurry up, good. ”
"No, no." This time, Yao Jingjing's tone was a little firmer.
"Why don't you go?"
Yao Jingjing looked at Sergei and said seriously: "Sergei, I have changed my mind, I don't want to divorce you." ”
"Jingjing, didn't we discuss it last night, divorce is the best choice for you、、、、、、"
"Who did you talk to? It's all up to you, and you didn't even ask my opinion. Not wanting to listen to Sergei's nagging, Yao Jingjing interrupted him.
"I decided this for your own good."
"For my own sake, you should listen to me, not make your own domineering decisions."
Yao Jingjing had a certain point, Sergei pouted in deflatedness, and said weakly: "Then what do you mean?" ”
At this time, Yao Jingjing grabbed Sergei's neck with both hands and said seriously: "Sergei, I thought about it all night last night, I, I don't want to divorce you, I don't want to leave you, and you don't want to get rid of me." ”
Sergei's heart warmed and said, "Jingjing, I'm very touched by what you said that. However, you will regret it later. ”
"I don't know if I will regret it later, but now, at this moment, I don't want to be separated from you. Sergey, don't drive me away, okay? ”
Yao Jingjing opened innocent and fragile eyes, seeing that Sergei was distressed for a while, he couldn't help but hug Yao Jingjing gently, and sighed:
"Why are you so stupid!"
Yao Jingjing's nose was sour, her eyes gradually moistened, she hugged Sergei tightly, and said with a smile: "I'm not stupid, I'm very sober, and in the future, you are not allowed to say that I am stupid!" I don't like to hear it. ”
"Haha, okay, you're not stupid, I'm stupid, hahaha." Yes, Sergei compromised, he no longer persuaded Yao Jingjing, at the moment his heart was warm, full of emotion and relief. For Yao Jingjing's sudden change of hexagram, he was surprised, and at the same time happy.
A few days later, Sergei took Yao Jingjing out of the manor by car, and when he parted, Sergei's youngest son, Andrew, came to see him off.
Ivan, the assistant, acted as a driver, and drove the boss's wife out of Moscow to the village of Nekhodivka in the Belgorod region, about 700 kilometers. The trio set out in the morning and drove on the road for about eight hours before arriving at the village in the afternoon.
The Belgorod region is located in the southern part of the European part of the Russian Federation, in the central black soil belt region, bordering Ukraine to the south and west, and the village of Nekhodivka, where Sergei and others arrived, is a border village, bordering the Donetsk region of Ukraine.
Walking into the house, a musty smell came to her face, the room was full of dust and cobwebs, Yao Jingjing covered her nose in disgust. But fortunately, every year Sergei will send someone to repair the house, so the house is intact and there is no problem for people to live in.
"Jingjing, the preservation of this house is okay, you can live in it if you clean it."
"Uh, yes."
Looking at the wooden houses in front of her, old furniture and household appliances, Yao Jingjing was disappointed for a while, but she couldn't show it. In fact, Yao Jingjing's psychological gap is also normal, after all, just left a big villa, and then entered an old wooden house, anyone has to have an adaptation period.
Yao Jingjing put down her luggage and backpack, rolled up her sleeves, and said, "Let's clean up, we should be able to clean up before dark." ”
"Okay." Ivan took off his suit shirt at the right time, rolled up the sleeves of his shirt, and began to divide labor with Yao Jingjing to clean the house. Sergei also wanted to get his hands on the help, but given his age, Ivan asked him to go out and walk around.
Sergei walked alone around the village, and he no longer knew the village as he had been when he was a child, after all, he had not returned for decades, and the village had changed a little.
