Far away in Moscow

Chapter 178
"Your brother? Dongzi?" Hu Yi slowly raised his eyelids: "It's so strange, does he still have a secret? He doesn't even tell me?"

"Of course, don't look down on people." Xiang Nan leaned over to Hu Yi's ear and lowered his voice: "My brother is in love!"

"Ah? Really! No way!" Hu Yi was very surprised, and laughed aloud: "Just like your brother's sloppy appearance, he doesn't change his clothes for a month, and doesn't even comb his hair all day long." , how could a girl fall in love with him?"

"Why don't you change your clothes for a month? Don't uglify my brother." Xiang Nan slapped him sharply on the shoulder, and said angrily: "Our family had no money before, so he didn't pay attention to dressing and grooming, and didn't raise money. It has become a good habit. But recently, I have paid more attention."

"Really?!" Hu Yi straightened his sitting posture: "Is he really in a relationship? Hey! When did it happen? Why didn't this kid mention it to me?"

"I guess it didn't take long. I discovered it by accident when I went home for the New Year." Xiang Nan smiled proudly: "You know it early, he hasn't told my parents yet."

"Good boy, you did a good job of keeping secrets." Hu Yi winked at her: "How about the sister-in-law Dongzi found for you? Are you satisfied?"

"I've never seen a real person." Xiang Nan shook his head and said, "The two of them seem to have met on the Internet. They sent an art photo over. Oh, my brother was fascinated. That's a fascination. When I was at home Every once in a while, I have to go to the computer to take a look, and I can’t wait to print it out and sleep with my arms.”

Hu Yi thumped the table and laughed loudly: "This kid should be in love for the first time, so it's understandable that he behaved a little less promising. Hey, have you seen the photo? Is he good-looking?"

"It's... okay, it's quite... quite handsome, anyway, my brother can't pull out his eyes when he sees them. But... but... I don't like it when I look at it."

"Why is it not pleasing to the eye?"

"How should I put it? The person in the photo is special... special..." Xiang Nan pursed her lips and thought about words for a long time, then frowned slightly and hesitated: "It's very cool, cold and arrogant, and a bit artificial, giving people the feeling It's not easy to get along with, I don't know why my brother fell in love with her."

"What's in the song, don't guess what boys think girls, you can't figure it out even if you guess it." Hu Yi shrugged his shoulders: "The aesthetic standards of men and women are different. Men think they are beautiful, but women don't." Neither."

"That's not necessarily true." Xiang Nan smiled sweetly, and made a face at him: "I think Natasha is very beautiful, you should agree with me, right?"

"Hey! My sister can really talk!" Hu Yi was overjoyed, and got up and patted Xiang Nan's head: "Go! Let's find the beautiful Natasha, and I will take you two to eat!"

There is no rest day in market work, and this is the first time that Hu Yi enjoys not going to work since he started working part-time during the winter vacation.

Fu Jiahui arranged for him to rest at home for three days, and Hu Yi readily accepted it, not because he needed to recuperate from his injuries, but because he could take advantage of these few days to go to classes to make up for his lost learning progress.

When I came to the school the next morning, I saw a large group of students, hundreds of them, crowded in front of the main building.Hu Yi came to the back of the crowd inexplicably, and casually asked the people around him: "What's wrong? Why don't you go in?"

"The security check is going on at the door." A Russian boy replied, "The speed is very slow. You must be late for class."

"Security check? Is it because of yesterday's bomb?"

"of course."

Hu Yi was stunned: "So, did you really find the bomb in the building?"

"The test results were not announced, but there should be something found." The boy raised his eyebrows: "Otherwise, why do we need to check?"

Following the crowd slowly to the door, Hu Yi saw clearly that there was a security check gate commonly seen in airports. Everyone had to remove belts, watches, necklaces and other items with metal accessories, and lined up to receive them. examine.

Several policemen and security guards looked carefully at the schoolbags and belongings carried by each person. There was a majestic German black-backed police dog by the security gate, which was sticking out its tongue and staring at everyone who passed by it. Added a little chilling meaning inside.

After finally passing the security check, Hu Yi trotted to the classroom while wearing his belt. The first class was almost over, but only half of the students in the class had arrived, and the rest were still waiting for inspection outside the door.

Everyone feels very helpless about this, but this is the need of counter-terrorism security, and no one can take it lightly.Fortunately, such a cumbersome inspection process did not last for a few days, and soon the police relaxed their guard against most teachers and students, and only paid attention to checking strange visitors and suspicious elements.

The black-backed explosion-proof police dog stood guard in the main building for two weeks before returning.After a period of time, the number of policemen in the security booth was also reduced from the previous four to two, and then from two to one.

The security gate was always powered on at first, as long as someone came in and out, it would "squeak" non-stop.Probably because the noise it made was really annoying, and it was cut off from the power supply and turned into a decoration, but it was never removed.Until Hu Yi graduated from Friendship University, the security gate was still standing at the door.

The relaxation of security measures may represent the police's confidence in the safety of the school, but it does not mean that campus life can return to tranquility.For a long, long period of time thereafter, Friendship University would continue to encounter bomb threats one after another.

The news related to the bomb was reported to the school by phone, ranging from two or three times a week to five or six times a week—sometimes twice a day, once in the morning and afternoon—although it was later proved that most of them were false threats, But at that time, the police and the school did not dare to slack off. Every time they received a call, they immediately began to evacuate urgently, causing panic in the whole school.

Teachers and students have gradually become accustomed to this learning method that may be suspended at any time, and the police's inspection efficiency has become more and more efficient, and classes can resume within a few hours after each evacuation.People have accepted bomb threats as the norm, and if they don't get an alert for a few days, people will feel anxious and worried that something will actually happen.

This chaotic day lasted for a long time, seriously disrupting the school's teaching plan, slowing down the course progress, and disturbing everyone.It was not until a long time later that the police successively captured several suspects who made fake bomb threats by phone in Moscow and its surrounding areas, and the long and senseless years of panic finally came to an end.

However, Hu Yi's life unexpectedly benefited from those days, so he was able to go to the market to work more calmly under the cover of chaos.As long as you can use your spare time to keep up with the slow teaching progress and appear in class with an appropriate frequency, you can get the understanding of most teachers.

Of course, at this time, Hu Yi still doesn't know what will happen in the future.After studying at school for three days, he called Fu Jiahui: "Jiahui, my injuries are all healed, and I can go to work tomorrow."

"Okay, come on." Fu Jiahui's voice was as lazy as usual: "I just happen to be returning to China in a few days, so you should pay more attention to the things in the box."

"You want to go back to China?" Hu Yi was taken aback for a moment: "Oh, I see. When will you come back?"

"It won't be long. I didn't go back to China during the Spring Festival. This time I went back to see my family. I will go back to my hometown with them to visit their graves on Tomb-sweeping Day."

"Okay, you can go at ease." Hu Yi agreed, and then hesitated: "Then... in case there is anything here, should I call you or..."

"Hey, it's just a few things all day long, you can do as you see fit." Fu Jiahui pondered for a while: "If you can't make up your mind, ask Lao Sun, if he can't be in charge, he will naturally Call me."

"it is good."

Fu Jiahui paused for a moment, and then warned: "You know that old grandson, apart from playing games all day long, he plays cards. He doesn't care much about the stalls in the market, so he probably doesn't have time to care about you. But if he Whatever you arrange, you have to listen."

"Yes, I understand."

"That's how it is. Anyway, I'm still here these days, and I'll tell you if I think of something."

A few days later, Fu Jiahui returned to China.Hu Yi still went to and from work according to the usual rhythm. He was busy and idle every day. When he was free, he would find Da Liu Tao to exchange two novels for reading. Husband teased a few boring words, and the life was flat.

After Fu Jiahui left, Sun Shoutian showed some sense of responsibility. In addition to coming to the box on time every afternoon to check the income and expenditure accounts and remit the money, he would occasionally come to see Hu Yi and care about the daily operation. .It has been a month since he came to Moscow, and he still doesn't know much about various affairs in the market, and his Russian language has hardly improved.

Fortunately, this person is more self-aware, and does not intervene in specific work on weekdays. He never asks too much about the various expenses reported by Hu Yi every day, and is also very active in the extra expenses agreed upon by the night shift, such as taxi fares.This made Hu Yi feel as comfortable as when Fu Jiahui was around, and he unknowingly increased his affection for him.

Ten days passed in a blink of an eye, and Moscow entered early spring and April.Although it was still a land of ice and snow as far as the eye could see, the weather was no longer so cold, and the sunrise and sunset gradually returned to normal.

The stall was not too busy today. Hu Yi went out at noon to fill his stomach casually, went back to the box and sat down to light a cigarette. Just as he was about to start a chat with Uncle Yu, he suddenly saw Sun Shoutian walking in a hurry from a distance.

In the past, Sun Shoutian always came from the direction of the Internet cafe, but today he came from the opposite direction.Hu Yi was slightly taken aback, and stood up to say hello, "Brother Sun, have you eaten yet?"

"Eat." Sun Shoutian walked to the side of the box and stopped, and looked inside with his hips on his arms: "How are things going? Are things going well today?"

"Successful, don't worry."

"Do you have time now? Help me with something."

"No problem. Tell me, what's the matter?" Hu Yi threw away the cigarette butt and turned to lock the box.

"Follow me to collect the bill."

"Collection?" Hu Yi was stunned: "Today's account has been collected, and it's all in the box."
