Larimov rests one hand on his wife's shoulder and the other on his daughter's shoulder, looking like a good husband and father, a far cry from the businesslike one sitting in his office.

Wang Weidong and Yao Qiming also walked to the door to greet the Larimov family, and then a series of hugs followed. Adelov and his wife hugged each other with Larimov and his wife, Larimov and Wang Weidong Yao Qiming hugged and introduced them to his wife Larimovna, and then Wang Weidong Yao Qiming and Larimovna hugged politely.

A few people went into the living room and sat down, Adelovna brought dried fruit and wine glasses, pulled out the cork and poured wine, and the atmosphere in the living room immediately became warm.

Yao Qiming first explained the origin of the Mid-Autumn Festival and its significance to the Chinese to those present, and all the foreign friends listened very carefully, and Wang Weidong only remembered the possible omission at this time, and he turned his head to look at the sky outside the window, and only barely relaxed when he found that the moon hanging high in the sky was a large semicircle.

Larimov's eldest daughter, Natasha, is eighteen years old and is now a graduating high school student, she sat there quietly, her eyes swept curiously over Wang Weidong and Yao Qiming's bodies, her big gray-blue eyes were as beautiful as a lake.

I wonder if when she gets married in the future, her body will also swell as quickly like her mother.

A few people chatted while drinking wine and eating Russian sugar cakes as snacks.

Yao Qiming talked about his time when he was studying at Far Eastern University here, and the more connections they have, the more common language and goodwill they have.

Before the meal, I ate salad as an appetizer, and then came up with the main course steak and patty and grilled meat, although there was no green onion, ginger and garlic as a seasoning, Wang Weidong still ate a lot.

He now finally understands why Larimov and Adelov and their wives are so fat, and the Russians eat too many calories.

It's not like in China, where they spy on each other when they drink, and whoever is opportunistic when they drink is looked down upon and even punished for drinking. Wang Weidong drank more casually, he drank very little, while Larimov and Adelov, including their wives, were booze.

It's often two or three glasses of vodka that are eaten up!

Wang Weidong was surprised to find that Yao Qiming's alcohol consumption was also very good, and he was infected by the atmosphere on the wine table, so he drank a lot without paying attention.

Halfway through the drink, the children, including Natasha, retreated, and the sound of a tinkling piano sounded in Nina's room again.

It's not like drinking in China, where everyone sits in a regular manner, except for Wang Weidong, the other people spend most of their time standing and drinking, talking and laughing.

Hearing the sound of the piano in the next room, Yao Qiming suddenly opened his arms and recited Pushkin's poem aloud:

I loved you, maybe this flame of love

It's not completely extinguished in my heart

But don't let this love make you sad again—

……

The living room was quiet all of a sudden, and everyone quietly listened to Yao Qiming's emotional voice. In particular, the two ladies were stunned, and their eyes were already a little foggy.

A Chinese guest reciting a poem by Russia's most famous poet is like a foreigner reciting the bright moonlight in front of the bed in China, both proud and increased his affection for these two Chinese.

……

I love so warmly, so single-mindedly

Ah, I wish others loved you too!

At the end of the recitation, the two couples applauded warmly, and Wang Weidong hurriedly put down the meatloaf and slapped it along.

The two ladies couldn't help but put down their wine glasses and came over to hug Yao Qiming tightly. The two of them are aunts, but there is still a girl hidden in their hearts.

Yao Qiming's actions ignited a fire, starting with the two ladies singing with wine glasses, and the song floated out of the window and echoed in the night sky.

Perhaps to cater to the emotions of the two Chinese guests, the ladies sang Cranberry Blossom and Katyusha, and Wang Weidong hummed along with them.

He had a hunch that tonight's party would be a success, and it would be surprisingly good!

It must be admitted that the people of this country are highly artistic, especially the two ladies are like musicians, sometimes high-pitched and sometimes tactful and melodious. Descending from a high octave to a lower octave and then rising to a high octave is like a roller coaster.

Before you know it, several people have drunk all the wine, and only one bottle of vodka remains. The few people who were in high spirits were not very drunk.

"Comrade Vertong, it's your turn!" Larimov, whose face was full of red light, said to Wang Weidong.

It's a matter of success or failure!

Wang Weidong, also known as Comrade Vertong, decided to let go.

He picked up his fork and tapped it lightly on the glass, making a tinkling sound.

"How can you forget your old friends and miss them in your heart

How can old friends forget each other, and friendship lasts forever

……”

Although Larimov, Adelov and their wives could not understand what Wang Weidong was singing, the familiar melody immediately let them know what song Wang Weidong was singing.

The four of them immediately sang along with Wang Weidong in Russian, and at the end of the song, the four raised their wine glasses and pulled the melody to the highest with a trill.

Wine was a wonderful thing, and tonight had brought all the people off their pretenses, and brought them closer to each other, and by the end of the party they were like old friends.

When they were separated, Wang Weidong felt their good impression of him from the strength of the two ladies when they hugged him.

Wang Weidong hugged Larimov goodbye again.

"It's too late, in order to avoid trouble, Comrade Adelov should send them back by you." Larimov said with concern.

Back at the committee club, two people sat in the room drinking boiling water and sobering up.

"When I was studying here, I often held such gatherings with my classmates, and dozens or hundreds of people sang and danced and drank." Yao Qiming said with full of memories.

"Weidong, I have an impression of the melody of the song you sang, which is the melody in the foreign movies I watched at the Oriente Cinema when I was a middle school student in four or six years! I was very impressed, the actresses in it were so beautiful! Yao Qiming said.

Wang Weidong closed his eyes and pretended to be drunk and didn't hear anything.

"I never heard this song again, Weidong, what's the name of this song?" Yao Qiming continued.

Wang Weidong leaned back in his chair and snored softly, he was already asleep.

In the afternoon of the next day, Adelov went to the committee club and asked the two men to go to the fish company again, and in the presence of the two of them, Larimov took a document and said: "This is my report to my superiors, and I will hand it in immediately!" Please go back and wait patiently, two Chinese comrades, and I believe that there will be good news for you in the near future! ”

In fact, it may be a long time later, and after waiting for four or five days and still not moving, Wang Weidong bought flowers and red October chocolates as small gifts and went to Adelov's house as a guest.

"What's the use of flowers? And it's so expensive! Yao Qiming complained that Wang Weidong spent money indiscriminately. At this time, there was no difference in thinking between him, a university lecturer, and a peasant worker.

"As long as it works, it's useful!" Wang Weidong said.
