The male host was burly, but not good at words. As if he had woken up from the awkward silence, he smiled awkwardly at Wang Wei and Ma Liang, "Please use it, please use it, you're welcome."
Wang Wei picked up the coffee, and the host said evasively: "Our house is not very good. I wonder if you are satisfied."
"No, very good, very good."
Wang Wei looked around and said that the house was large, had many rooms, and was very gorgeous. Although it could not hide the signs of disrepair, it still showed its extraordinary generosity back then.
In fact, it was Wang Wei who felt embarrassed. I didn’t know which room they would rent to Wang Wei, because he never dared to dream that he was in Bern, the capital of Switzerland, a few days ago, but today, he has arrived in Moscow!
Although Wang Wei often encounters such situations, he also knows that this is the kind of job he has been doing for so many years!
However, all the people and things still made Wang Wei feel like an unreal dream! If in the past, a person would rent such a big and good house in Moscow, he might not even be able to afford the rent.
.But today, money is no problem for Wang Wei at all......
"Haha, this house is nice and the rent is not very high. I'm very happy!"
Unexpectedly, Wang Wei's words made the hostess who looked directly at Wang Wei amused. She smiled so cheerfully and without any scruples. After laughing, she said something to her husband in Russian.
The husband also pursed his lips and smiled and said to Wang Wei: "It's not this house."
"Which house is that?"
"In the suburbs."
When the husband saw Wang Wei put down his coffee cup and looked at them strangely, he explained to Ma Liang's friend that the house they wanted to rent was a small "Dacha" in the suburbs of Moscow. It had been used by the family for summer vacations in the past.
In other seasons, he is idle and occasionally goes over to take care of it.
Since life is difficult now, they want to rent out the house and collect some rubles every month for their daughter's schooling.
Wang Wei was confused for a moment, suburbs?
Why did I go to the suburbs, but Wang Wei was secretly happy immediately. In fact, Moscow itself is a forest city. The so-called suburbs are not far from the city center. Maybe the suburbs are more suitable for Wang Wei's future plans, and the rent will also be
Much cheaper.
A friend explained to Wang Wei that "Daqia" means country villa or house. Ma Liang looked at Wang Wei and asked "How is it?"
Wang Wei looked at them in surprise: "Country villa?"
"If you are not satisfied, it's okay to rent this house (room) to you. Wang Wei and his fellow suburbs' Daqia can consider renting it as well."
"No," Wang Wei said. Wang Wei knew that his master had misunderstood him, so he quickly said:
"Haha! I like the suburbs."
Wang Wei asked his friend in a low voice: "Can I afford to rent a villa?"
"Then... it should be okay, you are now the 'big boss' in China!" The friend stopped Wang Wei from speaking with his eyes.
Su Yanier looked at her husband and used a few simple Chinese words she learned from traveling to Jiangdu a few years ago: "Okay, let's talk about the specific price!"
Her husband agreed very much, and she immediately expressed the price they needed to Wang Wei.
Although the temperature in the room was not high, because she was busy with other things, and perhaps because she was talking about the price, a few beads of sweat appeared on her smooth cheeks, as fine as crystal pearls.
Wang Wei looked at the coffee cup, then at Ma Liang and his friends. Su Yanier and her husband were watching.
To be honest, the price they charge is not too high and is basically reasonable.
Ma Liang told Wang Wei that the reason why Wang Wei was hesitant was that he was worried about whether the suburbs were really suitable for Wang Wei's future work. Once he rented it, he would live there. Moreover, where was the so-called suburb and what was the house like?
Don’t you know what a grandma looks like?
They seemed to see Wang Wei's thoughts. Malinka said:
"It doesn't matter. The house is good and the place is good. We can go and have a look together. If you are not satisfied, we will not rent it to you."
Wang Wei nodded and said, "Okay, Mr. Malinka, let's go there together tomorrow and take a look before making a decision, okay?"
"Nir-n-young man!"
Unexpectedly, the male host stretched out a hand to interrupt Wang Wei's words without hesitation:
"You should call me Davalish (comrade), understand! Comrade!"
After that, he grabbed Wang Wei's hand with his outstretched big hand, smiled and said in an accentuated tone:
"Sibiba (thank you!) young man, it's a deal! Do business (cooperate) with me, you won't be deceived," he said and squeezed Wang Wei's hand tightly with his big rough hand.
Suddenly, he shook it in front of his chest: "Mao Zedong! Stalin!"
This way of expression made several of them feel suddenly excited. They felt that it was very far away and yet quite modern...
The two parties agreed to go out to the city to look at houses together tomorrow.
I can see Alexander.
The Malinka couple were particularly happy tonight. Seeing Wang Wei and his friends getting up, they hurriedly pushed them down on the sofa. He asked his wife to bring a wine glass and a bottle of "vodka", poured them both, then stood up and used his thick
He raised the cup with his big hand, clinked it with the other three cups on the table, and gave it to them: "Young man, cheers to our friendship and successful cooperation!"
After drinking, he wanted to sing to Wang Wei and Ma Liang. Wang Wei hurriedly declined and said that he had friends waiting for him and he had to go back immediately!
But the friend smiled and shook his head, signaling Wang Wei and Ma Liang not to leave in a hurry.
After all, it's rude to walk like this.
So, they had to sit down again.
It wasn't until everything was over that the host and hostess sent them out the door, holding hands tightly.
"This old Russian understands human nature better than us Chinese."
On the way home, Ma Liang sighed with emotion. Wang Wei and his friends also felt deeply.
Halfway through, my friend got off the car. He had something to do and said he would see him tomorrow.
Wang Wei and Ma Liang returned home. As soon as they entered the door, they didn't expect Fang Daxia, Lao Baoer, Curly Hair and a bunch of their friends to be lying on the bed waiting for them. These people had something to do during the day, so they didn't worry if they didn't accompany Wang Wei and Ma Liang.
"How about it?"
"I didn't see the house." Ma Liang said with a smile.
"Didn't you see it? Are you fucking kidding me? Didn't you say you have a house for rent?"
Ma Liang briefly explained the situation, and then Fang Daxia said "Oh", lay down again, threw a cigarette to Wang Wei, lit it and said: "Okay, we will go there with you tomorrow to take a look.
Don’t let me be fooled by you. In the first few years after I came here, we Chinese were the ones who deceived me, and I was stunned for a while. Now? Damn it, I can also lie to you.”
"Haha! Okay!"
Wang Wei and Ma Liang said that Malinka and his family didn't know how to do it, and they had a good impression. Besides, they were people with status after all, so what was the use of deceiving Wang Wei that he was Chinese.
"Anyway, we'll go tomorrow too."
Early the next morning, the Malinka couple did not go to set up a stall, but drove a dark blue "Seagull" car to Ma Liang's house to pick up Wang Wei. This kind of car has a wide and short body and was produced in Russia in the 1950s.
A limousine, like an old-fashioned "Packaz" car......
Ma Liang quietly told Wang Wei that even though this car was broken, it was said that in the past, people could only own it according to their rank, at least those who were major generals or famous actors!!!
"Haha, you get it, Wang Wei! From this you can also see why they are in a hurry to rent a house."
In addition to Su Yanier, there was also their youngest daughter Ainiya, a beautiful and innocent Russian female college student in the car. Fang Daxia looked at the car and hesitated. Apart from the owner's family, Ma Liang and Wang Wei, there was obviously no room for them.
."Why don't you go first and we'll drive over in your car."
"Okay," Ma Liang got in first, then quickly turned back and winked at Wang Wei.
Wang Wei also got in and happened to sit next to Ainiya. He nodded to her and she smiled back.
The "Seagull" car has left the most crowded place in the traffic flow and is speeding along the street. Alexander.
While driving, Malinka told Wang Wei and Ma Liang that their house in the suburbs was near Garov. The road leading to the suburbs was very muddy, and the wheels flying around were like a goddess scattering flowers, with mud splashing everywhere.
It had just rained heavily. Due to the aging of the drainage facilities, the water had nowhere to go. It accumulated before it had time to flow, so the streets were covered with mud.
But after the car left the city and drove onto the Moscow Ring Road, the speedometer needle quickly swung around 120 kilometers...
Ma Liang poked Wang Wei, and Wang Weizheng was confused, "How far is it?"
Su Yanier suddenly pointed out through the windshield, and Wang Wei saw a sign with Chinese and Russian characters "Garov: One Kilometer" flash past.
"Is it still far?" Ma Liang asked.
"It's less than five minutes' drive."
Fang Daxia and the others followed behind in Ma Liang's car. The car went around the bend of the path and approached a gap in a row of birch trees on the left.
Alexander.
Marinka drove in.
A person first observed the approaching car through the half-opened large iron gate, and then opened the large iron gate to let us pass. The "Seagull" car drove creakingly on the winding gravel path and drove away.
Not tens of meters away, Alexander.
Marinka stopped the car.
"We're here." He turned around and said, opening the car door and getting out.
In the birch forest, there are small houses scattered here and there. From a distance, the colorful red-board houses with pointed roofs are very beautiful and come in different shapes, adding vitality and flavor to the earth.
Wang Wei fell in love with this place as soon as he got off the bus!!!
"Haha, damn, not bad————"
Then Fang Daxia and the others also arrived. Wang Wei felt that it would be great if he could contact colleagues in various fields and people like Deputy Minister Lu and his superiors here to secretly search for and hunt down the cunning old fox Su Yizhou in Moscow. If you are tired, you can
Going out for a walk is both romantic and exotic.
Alexander.
As he walked, Malinka introduced that it takes about half an hour to get to this place from Moscow...
There is a small airport near it that is very crude. There are many broken planes abandoned by the former Soviet army on both sides of the runway. There are people walking on the runway and some riding bicycles.
Looking from a distance, following his finger, the airport terminal is just a dilapidated two-story building, a bit like the long-distance bus stations in small Chinese cities in the past. It has no equipment and no people, making it look a bit desolate.
But its scenery is very beautiful. It can be regarded as a tourist hotspot in the suburbs. The endless green forest and the sea are yellow, as graceful as the beach stretched out by the sea. The sand on the beach is very soft, and you will feel very comfortable when you step on it...
……………
Along the beach is the beautiful birch forest unique to Russia. Surprisingly, there are some brightly colored small houses dotted among the birch forest and the beach!
It is very harmonious with the beautiful natural scenery around them, adding a romantic color to it.
Since Russia's economy is not yet developed, it is said that there are very few foreign tourists, so there are almost no people here or on the beach. There are also some houses for rent in the area where Wang Wei went, and there are a few foreign investors nearby.
The enterprise is still quite far from the city, but fortunately there are buses going here every day.
"I didn't expect it, it's pretty good." Fang Daxia said.
"How about it, brother, is that okay?"
"Of course." Wang Wei smiled and looked at Ma Liang, very satisfied.
The hostess, who was wearing a big bra, took her daughter's hand and followed them into the yard.
Ma Liang kept glancing at Ainiya!
Like her mother, this beautiful and chic female college student also wore a plain-colored Bragi. Her exposed neck and shoulders shone softly in the sun like ice sculptures. Occasionally she turned her head to look at them.
When she was a few Chinese people, her naturally curved hair spread over her shoulders, setting off her doll-like beautiful face.
This makes her full of vigor and vitality!
Wang Wei and Ma Liang were admiring a work of art. Their eyes often fell on girls who were not well-groomed and could not be considered otherworldly, but were nonetheless touching.
Every time she met their eyes, Ainiya smiled sweetly.
Innocent, tender and kind-hearted.
Alexander.
Malinka was in front, his wife and daughter behind, leading Wang Wei and others to look at the house inside and out.
This is "Dacha", which is a house built in the countryside.
The house is built of wood and is very distinctive. It has a pointed roof with large, bright lattice windows and a small and exquisite verandah outside, plus a large courtyard. Everything looks so exquisite; although Alexander.
The Malinka family has not lived here for half a year, but the house, the yard and the surrounding geometric fence made of not very high wooden slats are all clean and beautiful...
Through the gap between the fences, you can clearly see the dense birch forest on the horizon!
The roof of the house is painted with bright red paint, and the walls are blue-gray. The entire appearance looks in harmony with the natural environment. The indoor floor is paved with logs, and there is a small kitchen and bathroom.
The heating facility is a fireplace. If the weather is cold, you can burn wood to keep warm. It is very beautiful, comfortable, and poetic. The house is not big, but the living facilities are complete, just like the home of Snow White in Andersen's fairy tale.
Wang Wei, Ma Liang, and Fang Daxia couldn't help but admire it while watching it. They thought it was even more charming and comfortable than some buildings in the city!!!
After walking around the house and looking at the interior decorations, Alexander.
Marinka looked at Wang Wei with a more confident and proud expression than last night, far more confident than his wife and daughter.
"What do you think, Davalish? Is that okay?"
Fang Daxia was more satisfied than Wang Wei and nodded deeply.
"I think it works, haha, Comrade Agent——What do you think?"
His words made Wang Wei stunned for a moment, and then he immediately glared at him, which meant that he told Fang Daxia to talk nonsense, otherwise it would be easy to do bad things!
Of course, Fang Daxia also knows this. In Moscow, not many people know Wang Wei's true identity. Except for Wang Wei who came to Moscow to perform a special mission, he had to tell a few close friends such as Ma Liang and Fang Daxia for some reason.
Other than looking at your own situation and background, others simply don’t know the truth…………
And this time, Wang Wei's purpose of coming here and his special mission to hunt down Su Yizhou are even more so!
Therefore, Wang Wei was particularly sensitive to others knowing about his background and situation. When Fang Daxia looked at Wang Wei's eyes, he immediately understood that he was talking nonsense. He slapped himself hard in the mouth, then smiled and still walked around to look.
But it didn’t attract anyone else’s special attention, including a few friends who came together...
Wang Wei felt relieved!
Wang Wei could not believe it at first. Such a good house would allow Wang Wei to live alone, and it would be so cheap.
This is a small wooden house with "three bedrooms and one living room". The furniture in the house is not luxurious, but it is bright. Although the Mongolian carpet has lost its original luster, it still retains its previous softness.
A set of old-fashioned Russian sofas occupies a quarter of the living room.
After everyone sat down, Wang Wei, Ma Liang, Fang Daxia and the male host started chatting about the house.
During the 70-year long history of the former Soviet Union, hundreds of thousands of professional ballet, opera and film actors bathed in the rain and dew of XXX and created many world-famous dance dramas, dramas and films, and these people in the Soviet Union
She has always played a unique role as "Haiyan" in social life, and she is used to spending money like water and living in a life of extravagance.
Now, the hostess laments that everything except the house and car has ceased to exist, prices have risen, and she cannot make ends meet, so she can only look for ways to make money again.
You can see that, Alexander.
Malinka and his wife have deep nostalgia and nostalgia for the past.
Wang Wei and the others listened, drank tea, and remained silent.
Yes, the pain is certain, but no one can stop social change.
"It's going to be okay, everything is going to be okay."
Ma Liang was still smart and good at talking. He changed the boring topic, pointed at Wang Wei and joked, "No, we have a friend from China who is also a great writer. He will rent your house and help you tide over the difficulties. Haha.
, of course, you are mutually beneficial and helping each other."
As for what Wang Wei is doing renting a house alone, Alexander.
Marinka had doubts, but he never asked.
"Are you a writer?" After listening to Ma Liang's words, he looked at Wang Wei.
"I...am, um, a freelance writer."
Wang Wei was stunned for a moment and nodded to express that he was a writer. In fact, Wang Wei was really talented. In addition to being a senior criminal investigator, he also wrote some novels in the past... Haha!
"Written by - person?" Alexander.
Marinka repeated it word for word.
"What are you going to write here?" the hostess asked tentatively, "No business?"
