Chapter 36: The Wedding (1)

On Thursday, this day was the day of the wedding of the eldest son of Artem's family, and more than a dozen families in the village went to attend the wedding, including Sergei and Yao Jingjing, and each family brought some congratulatory gifts, such as food to eat, pots and pots to use, and it is not popular to pay for it here. This custom made Yao Jingjing like it very much.

When they came to Artem's house, the men and women were naturally divided into two tables, Yao Jingjing sat at a long table with the other women in the village, and Sergei sat with the men in the village. There was only one Asian face in the whole room, Yao Jingjing, so naturally she became the focus of everyone, which made Yao Jingjing very uncomfortable, she didn't know Russian, and others couldn't communicate at all.

It's been three months since she came to this village, and now it's September, and Yao Jingjing has fully adapted to life here, and her head is wrapped in a headscarf, a white floral headscarf, like other women, and she looks very playful. If you don't look at the face, just look at the back, you can't see that she is a foreigner.

Knowing that Yao Jingjing couldn't communicate, little Alexander came over at the right time and sat next to Yao Jingjing, which made her ecstatic.

"Alexander, you're here, I'm so embarrassed here, I don't understand what they say."

"I knew you didn't have me, no!" Alexander had another look of dragging, which made Yao Jingjing snort.

"Yes, yes, you're the best, with you, I'm not dumb."

Sergei, who was sitting not far away, was secretly relieved when he saw Alexander sitting next to Yao Jingjing, he was really afraid that Jingjing would not be able to cope with it.

At this time, an aunt sitting opposite Yao Jingjing asked, "I heard that you are Chinese?" ”

Alexander translated to Yao Jingjing, who smiled and nodded.

"You and your husband are from Moscow?"

"Yes."

"How did you come from a big city and think of coming to our small village?"

"Well, this is my husband's hometown, and he wants to return to his roots." A hint of panic flashed in Yao Jingjing's eyes.

Auntie nodded and said, "I see that you go to the town to sell dumplings every weekend, and the business is good." ”

"It's okay, barely making ends meet."

"How old are you, I may ask?" It is very rude to ask a woman's age abroad, and the aunt also knows that she is presumptuous, but she is still curious, but Yao Jingjing doesn't think there is anything.

"I'm 35 years old."

"Oh, but your husband looks in his 60s."

"Well, he's 70 years old."

The aunt was shocked, a little incredulous, and Yao Jingjing was also slightly embarrassed.

"Your husband is 35 years older than you?"

"Uh, yes."

"I'm sorry, I asked a little too much, why did you marry him?"

From the beginning, the women at the table stopped talking and looked at Yao Jingjing in unison, they were all curious about this sudden arrival of the Chinese woman.

Yao Jingjing could feel the burning eyes of everyone, her little face flushed, she was a little flustered, and said, "He, he is very good to me." I really didn't know how to answer, and I could state the reason concisely, so Yao Jingjing said such a reason that seemed to be a reason.

The aunt was stunned, although she was puzzled, but she did not continue to ask, and the other women were also stunned.

In order to alleviate the embarrassment, Yao Jingjing took a sip of milk.

Sergei, who was not far away, looked at Yao Jingjing while chatting with the people around him, he didn't know what the woman at the table was talking about with Jingjing, but he could see that Jingjing's face was flustered, and Sergei couldn't help but worry.
