Past events in Beicheng

If there is one thing that all Soviet/Soviet people want, it has to be summer!Is there anything more exciting than twenty hours of sunshine a day?Wang Yao was still a little uncomfortable with this "extreme day phenomenon". The never-setting sun made him emotionally exhausted, while Ivan and the others were as excited as a group of hounds going to hunt turtledoves.The reason why this group is called "Ivans" is because it really includes Ivan.

Although he can't sleep well, Wang Yao is generally satisfied, especially after he got all the test results for this semester: "It seems that I may graduate early," Wang Yao was greatly relieved: "Maybe In less than three years, I will be able to complete my dissertation and thesis defense in two and a half years!"

"You don't plan this summer vacation to study, do you?" Ivan looked dissatisfied at the other party who studied twelve hours a day. This time he packed his luggage and was about to leave school.

"Are you going back to Mo/S/Ko this time?"

"Mo/S/Ke?" Ivan showed an incredulous expression: "I will not waste the precious summer of two months a year in the crowded and noisy Mo/S/Ke. I am going to a villa in the country, that is nice place."

In the Soviet Union/Union, as long as there is a working person, almost every family will have a "villa" in the suburbs, but it is different from the concept of "villa" in other parts of Europe, it is more like a country house for spending vacations.

"Ivan, don't you read newspapers? Finland was still at war with you at the beginning of this year! Isn't it very far from Finland?"

"The war is over, and the scale should be small. You see, we haven't suspended classes. Don't use your Chinese/Chinese style of filial piety to condemn me. This time, it is my parents' request. There must be someone in the vegetable garden over the villa." Just take care of it a little bit."

"Well, well, I hope you have a nice summer vacation, and I need to add a curtain to the window, or I won't be able to sleep."

"Hi! Let me tell you!" Ivan straddled his luggage: "Do you want to come to my house? I can cook, which is much more delicious than the food in the cafeteria!"

"I……"

"Don't refuse me, you can bring the book with you! My villa is on the edge of the green/city, you have to know what a beautiful place it is! And my house is not Коттеджи, but дачи."

Коттеджи Wang Yao has seen a lot around Moscow/S/Ko, usually small cabins, дачи Wang Yao hasn't noticed it yet, is this a real villa?But this is not an attractive reason for Wang Yao who was born in Nanjing.

"In exchange," Ivan thought for a while, "can you choose a professional book in German, and I will help you translate it into Russian?"

"I don't need to translate German into Russian. What I need is to translate Russian into Chinese, Ivan."

"I can help you, especially with Russian, by the way, I can teach you Russian."

"But I really don't have time!"

"How is it possible? Do you think you can still find your tutor? He has gone to the country long ago. In summer, you don't even want to find someone in school, I promise you."

"I really have to stay here and study."

"Don't refuse," Ivan suddenly showed a bleak expression, "How lonely you will be here alone."

"Obviously you are afraid of being alone?" Wang Yao smiled and bent down: "If you don't go home by yourself, you will drag me down."

"I have a room full of books! I guarantee you a worthwhile trip."

Wang Yao didn't know if he would have time to enjoy the room full of books, but generally speaking, his kindness was too much to turn down.Green/City is more than 50 versts away from Len/Ning/Ge/Le, and Ivan's villa is at the other end of Green/City, so after arriving in Green/City, the two of them still need to drag their luggage and transfer.After a short rest, the bumpy journey needs to continue.Wang Yao didn't even care to appreciate the scenery of the green/city, and fell asleep directly leaning against the car window.Ivan doesn't quite understand why this person is so indifferent to travel, but he doesn't know that Wang Yao has traveled to too many places, and travel is the life experience he is most familiar with.

As long as the night in February was, so long is the day now.

When Wang Yao got out of the car with a yawn, the sun was still hanging in the sky, you know, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon.

"hungry."

"After we put our luggage, we will go to the neighbor's house for dinner."

"what?"

"My father's good friends are more than ten minutes away from our house. I told them that you are coming, let's go, let's go!"

Feeling dizzy, Wang Yao dragged his luggage and tried to keep up with Ivan's pace.

I have to admit that this residential area is very beautiful. Although it takes a long distance to see a small building, these blue or brown small buildings are very delicate, and the gardens are also very tidy.Ivan's small brown house is half an hour away from the station. Accompanied by the country breeze, the sleepiness of the journey finally gradually dissipated.

"Look, it's here." Ivan pointed to the front: "Ah! Natasha! Hello! Natasha!"

Sitting at the gate of the small courtyard was a little girl, about the age of a middle school student, with a delicate face and shining blond hair: "Brother! Brother! You are finally here!"

Ivan dropped his luggage, and picked up the little girl who threw herself into his arms: "How long have you been here? Have you been waiting for a long time?"

"Are you that brother's friend?" The little girl put her arms around Ivan's neck and looked at the foreigner in front of her curiously.

"Hi, I'm Wang Yao, from China."

"This is Natalya Petrovna Arlovskaya."

"What kind of introduction is this!" Natalia stretched out her hand: "Hello, you can call me Natalia, I go to the middle school attached to the Lenin/Ger/Le Conservatory, and I study cello. Cello?"

"I'm sorry, but I don't know how to play the cello." Wang Yao held her hand and shook her like an adult.

"It would be impolite for you to stare at each other so curiously." Ivan smiled and took Natalia's hand: "Did your mother ask you to pick us up? Thank you so much, my parents also asked me to take them Greetings to you. Come, come in, we have to change, don't we?"

That being said, it was the first time for Natalia to see a Chinese person, and she still couldn't help looking at it secretly, um, how can I describe it?It looks different from the Gao/Jia/Suo people, and also looks different from the Mongolian/Mongol people. Generally speaking, it is the first time I have seen it. I am really curious.

"Brother, should I just call him Wang Yao? What's his surname? Should I call him by his surname?" After Wang Yao went to pack his luggage, Natalia couldn't help asking Ivan.

"His surname is Wang."

"Wang?" Natalia couldn't believe it: "Just one sound? So short?"

"Chinese people have very short names, and their surnames are often placed in front of their first names, so they are usually called by their full names."

"That's right, it's just two syllables, it can't be more concise." Natalia muttered to herself: "Well, strange Chinese. Does his name have any meaning?"

Ivan thought for a while: "It seems to mean light."

"Unintelligible, he should have given himself a Russian name, Anatoly or something."

"Then go ask him if he is willing. If he is willing, I can lend him my surname." Ivan laughed loudly and patted Natalia on the head: "But now I have to go Tell him to eat, and I will tell you about interesting things in our university later."

The dinner was actually a formal dinner, and the Arlovs family entertained their two distinguished guests. After the dinner, Natalia and Ivan played Karl Yulievich Davydov's "Romance song".Natalia's father is also a professor of mechanical engineering, and he was particularly interested when he heard that Wang Yao was from Stuttgart.

"Papa! Papa! I'm going to talk to him! I'll talk about your boring stuff later."

As the only daughter, Natalia was obviously well-loved, so old Peter had no choice but to shrug his shoulders and give Wang Yao to his daughter.Wang Yao was curious about what this little girl was going to talk to him about, but she didn't expect that she would drag him to a secluded corner: "Excuse me, does my brother have a lover in Le/Ning/Ge/Le?"

This question surprised Wang Yao: "Why do you care about this?"

"Ah! Anatoly who doesn't understand the style! Are you confused or are you pretending to be confused?" Natalia put her hands on her hips angrily.

"Shouldn't there be?" Wang Yao didn't want to be labeled as "incomprehensible".

"That's good!" Natalia breathed a sigh of relief: "I am destined to marry brother Ivan! No one can separate us!"

No one seems to want to break you up, if Ivan wants you?Looking at the 15-year-old girl in front of him, Wang Yaoqiang couldn't help laughing.

"Anatole, please!" Natalia took Wang Yao's hand: "If there is a girl in the school who admires him, please write to me! I will give you the address of my school! "

Wang Yao had no choice but to nod, but he was a little confused: who is Anatole?

On the way back, Wang Yao half-jokingly asked him: "Do you have a lover?"

"Why do you ask this question?" Ivan looked at Wang Yao in surprise.

"Natalia is concerned. Although I haven't seen you have a female companion, it's better to ask, and it's not a burden."

"Oh," Ivan said coldly, "Speaking of which, are you married?"

Ivan has never seen Wang Yao's ring, but it seems that Orientals don't necessarily wear rings when they get married.

"Me?" Wang Yao pointed to himself: "Has Natalia cared about me?"

For some reason, this joke didn't make Ivan laugh, but he turned his head seriously: "Is it convenient to answer?"

Wang Yao didn't understand why he was inexplicably serious: "I'm not married, what's wrong?"

"You are 26 years old, isn't your lover in a hurry?"

"I don't have a lover!" Wang Yao fell into an interrogation for some reason.

"You don't have a lover?"

"I have no lover!"

"Are you sure?" Ivan took a step and stood in front of Wang Yao.

"I'm sure."

"Not in Germany/country, nor in China/country?"

"Not in Germany, not in China, and not in the Soviet Union, Comrade Ivan."

"It's so strange!" Ivan folded his hands on his chest.

"What's so strange about that?"

"You don't even have a lover."

"Don't you have no lover?" Wang Yao spread his hands, looking at the small expression on Ivan's face.

"look into my eyes."

"what?"

"I will use the will and wisdom of B/R/SW/K to pierce through your lies."

However, Ivan was defeated in the confrontation.

Of course, nothing was noticed.

On a bright night, Ivan looked into Wang Yao's dark eyes, but felt that he couldn't see through them.

After returning to their small brown building, Wang Yao moved his luggage down from the upstairs bedroom: "I thought about it, you should live upstairs, I will read later, and walking around upstairs will It's noisy to you. Can I sleep in the study?"

This is indeed a big house, so big that Wang Yao almost thinks of his hometown.

"The study room has a big window, and you won't be able to sleep again, or you can sleep in my sister's room. It doesn't matter, she hardly ever comes to live here." Ivan helped him move things down: "It's already eleven o'clock , aren't you sleeping?"

"I slept in the car all afternoon, and now I can read a book." The study is next to Anya's bedroom, which is indeed more convenient. After putting away his clothes, Wang Yao took out his book: "Aren't you going to sleep?"

Ivan didn't go upstairs, but followed him: "I can't sleep for the time being."

Ivan wandered around in the study twice, moved a chair across to Wang Yao and sat down.Wang Yao stopped writing: "Do you still want to see my lies?"

"No, I'm just looking at you."

Wang Yao showed an expression that you can read it if you want, and continued to study hard. After reading it for a while, Ivan finally felt that it was boring, so he was going to read the books piled up on the corner of the table. Unfortunately, after searching for a while, there was no one. It was to his liking.He suddenly had a wonderful idea, so he opened the drawer, found a notebook, tore off the first few pages with words, spread it out, and put it on the desk.

What am I going to do?Ivan unscrewed a pen, maybe I can try to write a diary these days, like Natasha, but not for homework, I want to take it as a pastime, write wherever I think, just so.

Ivan wrote the first line:

Today's weather is better than all the previous summers, but it's a pity that the Chinese/Chinese people slept for three hours in the car!Yes, three hours!So he is as energetic as an owl now! He is flipping through the professional books in front of him! He is such a strange little creature, with a seventy-eighty-year-old soul hiding in his body in his twenties, he Connecting rods, gears, mechanical drawings, and the like are stuffed in his head.He didn't respond to the green fields, he didn't respond to the blue sky, he didn't respond to my violin playing, he either slept in the car or talked about machines with Uncle Peter.

But I have no way to write the word "hate" on the paper.

Ivan's hand paused because no one had used this pen for about a year. If he wanted to continue writing, he had to find a bottle of ink.But this is not difficult, there is a bottle in front of Wang Yao, isn't it?It only takes half a minute to fill a fountain pen, but what's the rush now?After all, he is not Chinese, he has plenty of time.So he slowly unscrewed the pen, slowly opened the ink cap, and sucked slowly one by one, but still filled the ink within 1 minute.

Ivan sighed and continued:

Just now I filled the ink, during which time I made three very loud noises, the biggest one was when I put the ink bottle, honestly, if anyone did this to me, I would wake up in my dream!But Wang Yao was not affected at all!He didn't even lift his eyelids!Terrible Chinese people!Ah, my God, I'm actually looking at him today!What are you trying to see through!I'm really daydreaming!

But he asked me the question and I answered it honestly, and there are even more terrible things!He can always read my heart from my face!So I think he knows everything on my mind, from cherry cake to everything, even emotional stuff.But what about him?Actually I don't know anything, I can't see anything from his face, from his eyes, I can't see if he has a lover, if he has feelings, unless he tells me, I really have nothing Know.

Terrible Chinese, I'll say it again, although his black eyes are uncannily beautiful.

After Ivan finished writing this sentence, he hesitated for a moment, then crossed it out again.

"Want tea?"

Ivan was taken aback by Wang Yao who spoke suddenly, and he quickly closed his notebook: "Drink, what's the matter? You don't read anymore?"

"It's a pity that there seems to be no hot water. Why don't you take a bath first and drink tea later."

Ivan found a drawer and locked his diary: "Okay, I'll be here in a while."

When Ivan returned to the room, Wang Yao was standing in front of the window with a cup of hot tea: "I didn't expect that I could watch the sunset at one o'clock in the morning."

Ivan took the hot tea handed by Wang Yao, looked out the window, and saw the familiar fences, flowers, shrubs, and pastures.Occasionally, one or two wild ducks fly low in the sky, very quiet, with the afterglow of the setting sun on their wings.

"It would be great if every day could last this long." Wang Yao looked into Ivan's eyes and smiled slightly: "I'm going to take a shower."

Ivan, who was left in front of the window, took a sip of his tea, and the smell of strange flowers mixed into his throat along with bitterness, so he walked back to the desk, opened the drawer, took out the notebook, and wrote on the back:

"God created this gentleman, is it to give your heart to accompany you in that moment?"

The author has something to say: Note: Anatoly means "sunrise".

Note: Natasha is Natalia's nickname.

Note: The words Коттеджи and дачи may not be used accurately. If there are professionals, please correct me.

Note: "God created this gentleman to give your heart a companion for that moment?" from Turgenev's poem "A Flower".
