Eva is a native of China, a Russian ethnic minority.

Because of her special bloodline, she was strictly supervised by her family since she was a child. She is conservative like a traditional Chinese woman and is not as open-minded as a Russian woman.

Unlike the Russians, most Russians in China have accepted Chinese culture. Although they have languages, many people remain bilingual due to regional differences.

However, there are also a considerable number of Russians who only speak Chinese and have long forgotten Russian.

Lu Ye and Kang Jian spent a day wandering around the streets and alleys of Suihe. On the one hand, they were observing the business transactions here.

The conclusion Lu Ye came to was the word 'bad'.

Here, people manage sales and transactions, which is called "Qianqian".

Regardless of whether they are foreign traders or local traders, they all conduct their business in various alleys or hidden places.

Lu Ye didn't understand. It had been so many years since the reform and opening up, and doing business was no longer a shameful thing. He didn't know why it was still so secretive here.

The second aspect is to find a permanent residence as a place to stay.

Suihe is not big, so for the sake of convenience, Lu Ye still wants to rent or buy a house with a yard so that it can be used as a base.

There are only two roads here, one is a transnational highway that goes straight from west to east to the national border and can reach Russia. The other is the only cement road with many small shops on both sides. Tingfeng Restaurant is on this road.

superior.

There are basically private houses on both sides of the road, one bungalow next to another.

Lu Ye finally found a private house for sale. Although it was not on the main street, it was not far from the road and the road outside the door was quite wide. Lu Ye visually checked that his large truck could pass through without any problem.

Lu Ye spent 5,000 yuan to buy all four large rooms including the house and yard. The price was very high.

The house is pretty good. The original owner used to be a driver, but later he joined others and became a bad guy. He made a lot of money in just one year. He built a three-story western-style building on his homestead, and the whole family was happy.

After moving into a foreign-style building, this old house became vacant.

Many of the old furniture in the house were kept, and none of them were owned by the original owner. All the furniture in the western-style building was newly made, and these old furniture were all given to Lu Ye.

Kang Jian looked at the bare kang and said to Lu Ye: "Brother Ye, we also have a base. I'll go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some quilts or something."

"Buy a few more sets of bedding, and bring out Yoko's and the others' too."

Lu Ye said something, and there is no need to give any other special instructions. This is convenient for Kang Jian, who is very experienced. In the past, Kang Jian was responsible for the logistics work when renting a house.

"I know, don't worry."

Of course Kang Jian knew what was going on, so he replied and went out.

Lu Ye also went out, went outside to find a phone number, and called Yu Yang, asking them to arrange their own time to set off. He also specifically warned them not to drive at night and pay attention to safety.

Then Lu Ye went to his hotel and made a phone call.

Toot toot...

"Hello."

What came over the phone was my mother's voice.

"Mom, it's me." Lu Ye said.

"Boss, you've called me. How are you doing there? If it's not good there, you should come back. Our family can live a good life just relying on the hotel. We don't have to travel so far.

." Song Shufen's tone on the phone changed obviously, and she was a little sour.

"I'm fine. I'm in Suihe, not too far from Luancheng. I will go back to see you when I have time."

"You went to Suihe? What were you doing there?" Song Shufen didn't know much about Suihe. She only knew the place name of Suihe and knew the general direction.

"A trade port will be opened here soon, and I will be a gangster here." Lu Ye replied.

"You kid, it's not that easy to be a dealer. I heard that there were many people who went to Russia to sell goods, but got into trouble later. Why are you still becoming a dealer?" Song Shufen suddenly became anxious.

"I'm not going to Russia. There's a market here in Suihe. I've set up some stalls in the market, just like in the First Department Store. Russians come to the market to buy goods. It's quite safe. Don't worry." Lu

Ye said quickly, mixing the truth with lies to dispel his mother's concerns.

Sure enough, what Lu Ye said made Song Shufen feel relieved. She shouldn't be too familiar with the First Department Store. If she was selling goods in such a mall, she wouldn't have to worry about safety issues.

"Boss, you must pay attention to safety when you are outside. Don't be reluctant to eat. You can eat whatever you want, but don't tire yourself too much."

"Well, don't worry, Mom, I'm fine."

···

After a brief chat, Lu Ye hung up the phone.

After paying the phone bill, Lu Ye muttered in his heart: "It's really inconvenient not to have a mobile phone."

It’s just that in this era, mobile phones are only popular in the south, but they are not very popular in the north. There are not many signal base stations. Even if you buy a mobile phone, if there is no signal, it can only be used as a brick.

After contacting him, Lu Ye went straight back and waited for Kang Jian to return.

Kang Jian, on the other hand, bought a tricycle's worth of things, including six sets of bedding, pots and pans, a washbasin and toothbrush, soap and washing powder, everything was really well-equipped.

Seeing this, Lu Ye had to admire Kang Jian's logistics.

"I said you are really capable. You are really good at making a living."

"That's not good, Brother Ye, now you know the use of my health, don't you think I'm rough on the outside, but I'm very delicate at heart." Kang Jian said without blushing.

"You are said to be fat and you are out of breath. I think you were deceived by the salesperson. You are right to buy six sets of quilts, but what do you mean by buying twelve sets of face quilts?"

Lu Ye followed him and moved things down. There was a pile of flowered porcelain washbasins stacked together. They were quite old and heavy. Lu Ye counted them and found that there were twelve of them. There were probably six people living here, but there were too many people in this room.

Double.

"Two of us, get ready, one washes his face, the other washes clothes, there's nothing wrong with that." Kang Jian said.

“Brother Jian is awesome!”

What else could Lu Ye say? He could only give Kang Jian a big word of "obedience".

The two of them worked together to move all these things into the house.

Kang Jian was in the yard again, collecting some firewood and dry corn stalks, and rekindled the fire that had not been lit for a long time.

If there is no fire for a long time, the kang will become damp and uncomfortable for people to sleep on, and there will also be a musty smell inside the house.

Kang Jian lit the fire, and the whole stove started to smoke. This was inevitable. The air in the fire kang had not flowed for a long time, which hindered the ventilation of smoke. It needed to burn for a while before it would be normal.

Lu Ye knew this a long time ago, so when he was living a healthy life, he simply didn't enter the house and stayed in the yard.

"Ahem..."

Kang Jian opened all the doors and windows to ventilate the smoke, then came out and stood in the yard with Lu Ye.

"I never want to light a fire again in my life. I've had enough of this smoke."

Kang Jian complained.

"Little comrade, the revolution has not yet succeeded, you still need to work hard. In a few years, we will live in a building, and then there will be no need to light a fire." Lu Ye was minding his own business, smoking a cigarette.
