Siheyuan: Relieve stress and relieve worries

Chapter 661: First Encounter with Russians
The children looked at each other and the older one said, "We want to eat, but we have no money."

Wang Wenyuan was stunned and asked, "Oh, you still remember to pay. Where are you from? Are you hungry?"

The children were all innocent and kept nodding. The older child pointed to the other side of the lake and said, "We are from Druger Village, right over there."

Wang Wenyuan was stunned. Doesn't Druger mean friend in Russian? How come we have this name here too? Wang Wenyuan didn't care. He just wanted to find a place to stay. Since these children were from that village, he planned to stay there for one night.

Wang Wenyuan went to the car again, took out a few lunch boxes, and shared the grilled fish among the children. He couldn't eat so much anyway.

Several children sat on the grass and started eating with big mouthfuls, just like the little girl. Wang Wenyuan didn't ask any questions and just watched the children.

After a meal of grilled fish, Wang Wenyuan learned that these children were orphans fleeing famine and were helped by several young people who came to support the construction. The village was also built by these young people and a Russian family. The Russian family in particular put in all their efforts and paid a lot to build the village. There were about fifty children there, of all ages.

After eating the grilled fish, the children helped Wang Wenyuan clean up. The little girl also became friends with these children.

After Wang Wenyuan had packed up, he drove to the village under the leadership of Li Fuqiang. Li Fuqiang was the older boy. They were also out to play, but they were attracted by Wang Wenyuan's grilled fish and forgot the time to go back.

The children were dressed neatly and their faces were clean. It was obvious that the conditions in that place, which should be called Welfare Village, were quite good and they took good care of the children.

Not long after, the car arrived at the entrance of the village. The sound of the car engine attracted the villagers. This village should be close to an aid project, so everyone just took a look and went about their business. Only a couple came out of a three-story building at the entrance of the village and watched the approaching car from a distance.

Wang Wenyuan parked the car on the side of the road, and Li Fuqiang got out of the car with the children. As soon as they got out of the car, they heard the woman shouting, "Little Fuqiang, you took them to the lake again, didn't you? I told you many times that it was dangerous there and you were not allowed to go there. Why didn't you listen?"

Xiao Fuqiang lowered his head and whispered, "Principal Mom, I was wrong. I was just passing by with them and was attracted by the smell of grilled fish."

At this time, Wang Wenyuan also got out of the car. He was also curious when he saw a Russian-looking man speaking fluent Chinese, but he still went up to him and said, "Hello, I'm sorry, it's my fault. I caught two fish and couldn't finish them, so I asked the children to eat them together. I'm sorry."

Wang Wenyuan bowed as he spoke, and the woman's expression softened a little, but she still glared at Li Fuqiang. At this time, the Russian man said, "Hello, welcome, friend, this is none of your business. We are just worried about them and didn't know where you are."

"Oh, my name is Wang Wenyuan, this is my sister, and this is my letter of introduction. I've been driving with my sister for several days and I'm a little tired. I was wondering if I could stay here for one night. We'll be leaving tomorrow." Wang Wenyuan took out the letter of introduction and handed it over.

The couple looked at each other, and the man said, "My name is Ivan, and this is my wife Lorina. We are the principals of this Druge Village. It is no problem for you to stay overnight. Please come in." The two led Wang Wenyuan and his sister into the building they had just come out of. Ivan introduced them as he walked, "Although it is called a village, it is actually a school. It is called a village mainly to facilitate the registration of children. This building is our office building. I will ask my wife to arrange a room for you in a while. That is where the children will stay. There are empty houses there. By the way, have you eaten?"

Wang Wenyuan looked at the rows of red brick houses that Ivan pointed out. They were obviously newly built. He said as he looked at them, "Thank you. We have already eaten. When we got to the lake, we couldn't help but catch two fish."

Ivan smiled and said, "You are amazing. What kind of fish did you catch? There is a kind of rainbow trout, which is very difficult to catch."

Wang Wenyuan said: "From time to time there was a red line on the body, and I actually caught one."

Ivan brought the brother and sister to a large living room with a huge wooden table in the middle. Lolina poured them a glass of water and went out, apparently to arrange a room for them.

Wang Wenyuan was having a very pleasant conversation with Ivan, and the little girl couldn't sit still anymore, so she got off the stool and wandered around the room.

Soon the little girl lost her spirit and leaned on her brother's legs with her eyes half closed.

Ivan also noticed that the little girl was sleepy. At this time, Lolina had come back and said to Wang Wenyuan with a smile, "Everything is arranged. Let's go."

Wang Wenyuan said, "I have two pets in my car. I'll go get them first. Please wait for me for a moment."

Lo Lina nodded, and Wang Wenyuan returned to the car, released Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai, and then followed Lo Lina to the room arranged for them. In fact, the room was very simple, with just two beds and a desk, and it was really like a dormitory.

After a good night's sleep, the next day, Wang Wenyuan thanked the two for taking him in. After a few brief words, Wang Wenyuan drove off, heading towards Sijiu City.

At this time, Yan Bugui from No. 95 Yard had been frightened, investigated, and fined, and he had to go all the way to the north. He was really terrified. At this time, he no longer had the mind to take advantage of others, but his wife was pregnant again, so he had to find another way to make money. After thinking for a long time, he thought of fishing. With an idea in mind, Yan Bugui planned to buy a fishing rod. Today, he took the money and went straight to Dazhalan.

Because he was walking through small alleys, he would occasionally see people selling things on the street. They would sit on one side of the alley with a shoulder pole and two baskets, and would keep hawking their wares. Yan Bugui did not go to watch the fun, but went straight to Dazhalan. In the square, he saw some children playing football. They were having a lot of fun, but Yan Bugui was in no mood to appreciate them. His mind was full of thoughts on how to find the cheapest fishing rod.

As soon as they exited Zhengyang Gate, they turned directly into Langfang Ertiao. Yan Bugui saw a store selling fishing nets, so he took a few people into the store. Yan Bugui didn't see any fishing rods, so he asked and found out that this store only sold fishing nets. Fishing rods had to go south, to a Zhaoji grocery store in Zhujia Hutong, Guanyin Temple Street.
