Far away in Moscow

Chapter 202 Girl's Rules

Although he didn't mention it to anyone, Hu Yi always felt a little guilty about Xiangdong's current state.

These days, he thought more than once that if he hadn't taken the initiative to expose the fake photo of the "beauty" on the Internet, maybe Xiangdong would have gradually discovered the truth about her, or gradually cooled down the enthusiasm in his heart.Although it is still unavoidable to be sad and lost in the end, at least there is no need to suffer such a violent and sudden stimulation.

It was precisely because of this idea that Hu Yi temporarily planned to return to China to visit Xiangdong.He told Natasha about his decision, and Natasha expressed her support without hesitation: "My friend needs you now, so of course you should go back and give him care and help. Would you like me to accompany you?"

"No need, I'll just go back by myself. Don't you "Mingsi in Russia" have a party in a few days?" Hu Yi sat at the table and took out a pen and paper while writing, "Unfortunately, I can't accompany you this time participated."

"Yes. Oh, the timing is too unfortunate." Natasha regretted: "It's okay, I don't know most of the people who came to the party. When I have a chance in the future, I can introduce you to my sisters alone .”

"No problem. It just so happens that time is tight this time. When I have a chance next time, I will take you back to China together."

"Okay!" Natasha said excitedly, "I've never been to China, I heard it's very beautiful, isn't it?"

"Of course! The natural scenery of our hometown is much better than that of Moscow! There are mountains, rivers, lakes and seas, and there are many, many delicious foods!" Hu Yi's tone was full of pride.

"Delicious? Like those meals you always make?"

"Hey, the level is completely different, and the variety is much richer. What I know is just a little superficial." Hu Yi excitedly thought: "Wait until the summer vacation, or——after graduation and returning to China, I will definitely take you to have a good time in China. One lap."

"After returning to China?" Natasha stared at him with a smile, her expression slightly disturbed: "Anton, you will return to China after graduation, right?"

"I—" Hu Yi was stunned: "I think...it should be. But don't worry, my dear, even if I go back to China, I will take you back with me?"

"Me? What are you going to do? Stay in China with you?"

"Of course." Hu Yi got up and put his arms around her waist: "No matter where I go from now on, I will take you with me, are you willing?"

"Okay, I am willing." Natasha gently helped him straighten the hair on his forehead: "It's a deal."

"It's a deal!" Hu Yi grabbed the visa application she had just finished from the table with a "swish", and patted her face lightly: "I'll go to the school to apply for a visa."

Generally speaking, it takes ten working days for foreign students to apply for a round-trip visa at the Visa Section of Friendship University.Hu Yi hasn't compared them horizontally, so he can't judge whether their efficiency is high or low, but he knows how to improve their speed of doing things.

Some students who are eloquent and familiar with the old ladies in the visa department can cut the processing time in half by just flirting with them and giving them a piece of chocolate or a box of juice every time. .

If you don't want to spend more time with them, you can achieve the same effect as long as you put one or two hundred rubles in the passport you hand in.If you are willing to give them five hundred rubles, you can get the visa within three working days.

Hu Yi didn't want to put money in his passport. Although he didn't feel bad for a few hundred rubles, he always felt that his behavior was not right.He would rather grind his teeth with the old ladies with a smiling face, supplemented by a few cheap gifts, and strive to find a balance between money and efficiency in order to obtain the greatest cost-effectiveness—this is what he did when he returned to China last time.

Winter vacation is coming soon, most of the foreign students who need to return to their hometown have completed various procedures in advance, and the visa department is very deserted.Hu Yi handed the passport, student ID card and visa application to the counter together, only then remembered that he left in a hurry today and forgot to buy some small gifts to bring.

It is obviously inappropriate to go out to buy things when things are coming to an end.He had no choice but to show a bright smile like the burning sun: "Good day, girl. Could you please submit it for me as soon as possible? I haven't returned to China for a long time, and now I am very homesick. I hope I can get the visa sooner."

In Russia, "girl" is a very general appellation.Up to 99, down to just walking, as long as the other party is a woman, you can basically call her a "girl".Although Russian also has special titles for women of different ages, Russian ladies obviously prefer to hear men call themselves "girls".

"Good day." The fat, wrinkled old lady behind the counter picked up her student ID card and visa application, glanced at it, quickly flipped through her passport, scratched a few strokes on the receipt with a straight face, and handed it to Hu Yi: "Come and pick it up on January 31."

"Don't!" Hu Yi leaned on the chest-high counter and poked his head in: "Girl, I'm going home for the New Year. It's too late on the 31st, so I won't be able to make it in time. Please accommodate me, okay?"

"Please don't lie to me." The old lady looked down at his ID card casually: "You are Chinese. Many Chinese students have come to apply for visas before. I know that the Chinese New Year this year is on February [-]th, so there must be time. "

"That's fine." Hu Yi smiled dumbly: "But the start and end date of my application is from January 23 to February No. 13. You cut off almost half of my time by doing this."

"That's not my problem." The old lady shrugged her shoulders and stared into a pair of eagle eyes: "Why didn't you come to do it earlier? You see, other students have already finished it, and now they just need to wait to get it. Why did you come? "

Hu Yi kept nodding with a smile: "Yes, it's my fault for coming too late. I'm very sorry. It's a temporary decision to return to China."

"I said, it's not my problem." The old lady impatiently slapped the plastic sign with the "Visa Application Instructions" on the counter: "Here! Look carefully! The stipulated processing time is ten Weekdays! Do you understand? Can you read Russian?"

"Yes, yes, I can understand." Hu Yi smiled impatiently: "Isn't this a special situation, can I ask you..."

"No! Rules are rules and cannot be violated. No matter what special circumstances you have, I can't do anything about it." The old lady grabbed his application materials and handed them out to the counter: "Are you still going to do it? If you want to do it, just follow the prescribed time Take it, if you don't do it, please go back."

"Do it, of course we have to do it!" Hu Yi swallowed his anger and maintained a smile, suddenly a burst of impatience appeared in his heart.In front of the old lady, he reached into his pocket and took out his wallet, put a thousand ruble banknote into his passport, and threw it back in front of her along with other materials: "Please take a look at my certificate again, maybe it is eligible for expedited processing conditions of."

"Really? Maybe I didn't notice it just now? Let's take a look..." The old lady pretended to sit up straight, opened the passport to confirm the amount of banknotes inside, and her face became more friendly: "Oh, you know, Regulations are important, but…”

"Yes, you are right, the regulations are of course important." Hu Yi smiled and crumpled up the receipt she wrote and threw it into the wastebasket: "Huh? According to the regulations, when should the collection date be? I I didn’t hear you clearly just now, please say it again.”
