Far away in Moscow

Chapter 193
The table was filled with food: goulash, borscht, pickles, smoked fish, bread, caviar, salads, potato cakes, several kinds of sausages, and a roast chicken that I had bought.

Grilled chicken shops are very common on the streets of Moscow. Every time Hu Yi passed by, he would be attracted by the rich aroma. After tasting it a few times, he realized that the taste was all concentrated on the skin. The chicken is firm and dense, and it is really difficult to taste. It tastes like chewing steamed buns.

"Eat, eat, Anton, you're welcome." Maxim still seemed to have nothing to say, but kept urging Hu Yi to eat, and called everyone to drink from time to time.

Hu Yi couldn't find any suitable topics, so he praised Maxim's wife's craftsmanship every time he tasted a dish, otherwise he just immersed himself in eating and drinking.

Natasha and her aunt seemed very at ease, whispering to each other while eating and drinking, and soon brought the topic to Hu Yi.

The aunt probably knew little about the relationship between the two before, and stared at Hu Yi kindly: "How old is Anton this year?"

"He's 22 years old, and he'll be 23 in a few months." Natasha hurriedly replied.

"22? No wonder he looks so young." The aunt hesitated: "So, he's younger than you...better than you..."

"Yes, three years younger than me." Natasha smiled indifferently: "He is a college student."

"Really?" My aunt turned to look at Maxim, and said in a puzzled way, "You are really serious, Anton is still a student, why are you in such a hurry to get the two of them to consider getting married?"

"What?! Married?" Natasha was surprised, she frowned slightly and said with a light smile, "Maxim, what's going on?"

"I just thought of it when I was chatting with Anton a few days ago. I just mentioned it casually. It's all my own idea." Maxim grinned at Natasha, glared at his wife, and muttered vaguely while chewing on the chicken. : "What's wrong with the students? Since they are seriously in love, why can't they consider getting married?"

My aunt didn't seem to be good at arguing with him, she lowered her eyelids sullenly: "After all, getting married... is a complicated matter. There are many issues to consider, and it requires a lot of money. It's not that simple. They...he is still young."

"Huh! Woman, I don't understand anything!" Maxim swallowed the food in his mouth angrily, wiped his hands and picked up the wine glass: "Anton, Nata, come, let's toast together."

After drinking another small glass of cold vodka, Hu Yi closed his eyes and took a long breath, put down the glass in a daze, and saw Maxim looking at him with a serious face: "Anton, a few days ago I When I brought up the topic of getting you married, firstly, I wanted to know your sincerity, and secondly, I actually had some thoughts of my own. Now I’m telling you, please don’t be unhappy.”

"Unhappy? How could it be?" Hu Yi grinned and squeezed out a smile: "Your thoughts are definitely not harmful to us, right?"

"Of course, I'm all for Natasha's best, but...maybe I didn't fully consider your situation." Maxim hesitated for a while: "That's right, building No. 12 of the dormitory is about to be completed, and maybe it can be accepted next year Students move in."

"Really? It's finally going to be built?" Hu Yi was taken aback. Building No. 12 is a new high-rise student apartment located near Building No. 4. He started laying the foundation when he came to Friendship University for preparatory courses, and has been building it ever since. Unhurried construction.

In the past three years, the building has stopped and stopped, and most of the students have forgotten the existence of Building 12. It was not until today when Maxim mentioned it that Hu Yi remembered that there is a new dormitory.

"Almost, as far as I know, it won't be too long." Maxim picked up a piece of sausage and threw it into his mouth: "Building 12 is much better than the current dormitory buildings built in the 80s, very new and beautiful. "

Hu Yi was drunk at the moment, and his mind was spinning for a while. He couldn't understand why he brought up Building No. 12, so he put down his knife and fork and nodded carelessly.

"Here, you know, I want to arrange a place with better conditions for Natasha, but she is not a student at the school, so it is difficult for me to let her live in a regular room." Maxim felt a little ashamed: "I heard You said that you love Natasha very much, and immediately thought that if you get married as soon as possible, I can find a way to arrange a couple's room for you, and maybe you can live in the newly built No. 12 building. The conditions there are very good, and Natasha can live Go in, and I, as an uncle, will feel relieved."

The couple's room is a special way of living in the school, the purpose is to facilitate married students to live and study in the dormitory.Applicants need to show a marriage certificate issued by the Russian government department, or a notarial certificate of the marriage certificate in the country where they are located.Hu Yi is no stranger to the fact that there are many Chinese couples living in couples' rooms with fake marriage certificates in the school.

"It turns out that you are trying to improve Natasha's living conditions." Hu Yi laughed drunkenly: "No wonder, I have never figured out why you suddenly let us get married."

"That's right." Maxim shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands: "But my consideration was too simple at the time, and I was a little impulsive. Moreover, the accommodation fee in Building 12 is very high, estimated to reach [-] US dollars per person per year. Even if the two of you do get married, the burden of expenses will be too heavy for you, I'm sorry."

"Two thousand dollars a year? Is it a lot? It doesn't matter at all to me!" Hu Yi felt the alcohol rushing to his head, and waved his hand in the air: "Maxim, you don't have to worry about it at all." Natasha is worried. Even if we don't get married and don't live in Building No. 12, I have a way to let her live in a better house! Of course, not now, but... later, some time later."

"Really?" Maxim looked at his wife dubiously, nodded with a smile, and said, "Ah, I understand. If you can come here to go to college, your family must be relatively rich, right? I haven't asked yet, yours." What do the parents do?"

"My parents? They both work in... um... the state unit." Hu Yi's tongue was a bit big, he narrowed his eyes and shook his head: "My family is not very rich, but I can earn money, and I can do it with my own income Let Natasha live better."

The Maxims shrugged their eyelids together, obviously disapproving of his words.Natasha added with a smile: "Maxim, thank you. I live very happily now and don't need a better room. But I believe Anton's words, he can indeed earn a lot of money, at least 2 Thousands of rubles."

"What?! How much?" Maxim almost dropped his fork on the plate: "You said more than 2?"

"That's right. Isn't it, Anton?"

"Of course, at least 2 yuan." Hu Yi was very proud of himself, but he pretended to be nonchalant: "Hey, this is just salary, and there are... um... various bonuses."
