Chapter 169 New Year's Gift
"No, it's nothing. I'm just a little...a little..." Hu Yi smiled with his nose bubbling, took the pot in Natasha's hand and put it on the chair, and held her in his arms with open arms.

Natasha chuckled, put her arms around Hu Yi's waist, put her face on his shoulder, and hugged him tightly.

There is no need to say anything more.The two hugged like this, and after a long time, Natasha whispered in his ear: "It's a bit cold here, let's go home."

"Okay." Hu Yi agreed, but still hugged her and didn't let go.

"Here, look, someone is laughing at us."

"Who?" Hu Yi tilted his head to look, and saw the security guard in the glass sentry box in the hall leaning against the table, smiling at them with half of his face on his face.

"Good evening!" Hu Yi waved to him holding a fork, his face was filled with sweet happiness.

The security guard kicked the table legs lightly, and the man slid out of the sentry box with the swivel chair under his buttocks, leaned back and waved with a smile: "Happy Chinese New Year! It's late now, take your beauty back to the room Let's make out!"

Hu Yi and Natasha hugged and laughed, leaning on each other and walking towards the elevator.Hu Yi was in a good mood, forcing the security guard to eat a dumpling, and left him most of the box of Marlboro in his pocket.

Going upstairs directly to Natasha's room, Hu Yi couldn't wait to take out two pairs of pants from his bag: "Natasha, this is a New Year's gift for you."

"New Year's gift? For me?" Natasha was very surprised: "Can I also receive a gift for Chinese New Year?"

"Of course!" Hu Yi took off his coat and put it on the back of the chair: "You still eat dumplings today, and you will be counted in all Chinese festivals in the future."

"Thank you." Natasha kissed him lightly on the cheek, took the trousers and looked at them carefully for a moment, with a look of joy on her face: "These trousers are very good, very good!"

Hu Yi felt relieved: "As long as you like it."

"But it must be very expensive, right?" Natasha bit her lips lightly: "It costs at least a thousand rubles to buy a pair of such pants in the mall."

"It's not expensive in the market. I deal with these pants every day. I originally wanted to buy two for you, but my boss insisted on not charging, so this is actually a free gift." Hu Yi spread his hands with a smile: " I don't know if it fits, so try it on."

"Really? Then you must thank your boss for me." Natasha put her pants on the bed and smiled at him: "Anton, I also prepared a New Year's gift for you."

"What is it? Let me see."

Natasha leaned over to open the cabinet next to the bed, took out a large paper bag and handed it to Hu Yi with both hands: "Happy New Year to you."

"Thank you." Hu Yi took it seriously, and took out a one-shoulder leather backpack from his pocket.

"Bag?" He caressed the material on the surface of the backpack, and whispered with joy, "It's so beautiful, so beautiful."

This kind of reaction is not entirely to make Natasha happy. The schoolbags that Hu Yi has been using since he was a child are all made of nylon and chemical fiber. The leather bag in front of him is indeed very classy.

"This bag is not very high-end, and the price is not expensive, but I think the workmanship is very good." Natasha expressed a little embarrassed: "You still carry the schoolbag for class when you go to work, so I chose this one as a gift. Here you are. Do you like it?"

"I like it! I like it so much!" Hu Yi got up and put the bag on his back, constantly adjusting the length of the strap and the left and right positions, carrying it on his side for a while, and cross-body for a while, he couldn't put it down.

"You look good on your back." Natasha said with a happy smile, "Go and look in the mirror."

Hu Yi rushed into the small bathroom with his bag on his back, turned left and right in front of the mirror, and carefully arranged his hair, as if he felt that he was more mature and handsome in the mirror.

Satisfied, she took off her bag and walked out of the bathroom, only to find that Natasha had already put on new pants, and she was patting her lower abdomen and buttocks with her head down: "It fits very well, these pants are very good, and the workmanship is also very meticulous. Look , here, here, and here."

Hu Yi leaned against the head of the bed, listening to Natasha praise the trousers with professional terms he didn't understand, his heart suddenly felt peaceful, and then he felt his eyelids heavy.

"The style of the trouser legs..." Natasha was talking, when she suddenly heard a slight snoring sound from her side, and when she turned her head to look, she saw that Hu Yi had fallen asleep with his head tilted.

"Anton, you must be exhausted." Natasha gently lifted Hu Yi's feet on the bed, helped him take off his shoes, stared at his face and said softly to herself: "Today is the new year , just sleep here."

Although he liked the new bag Natasha gave him, Hu Yi didn't carry it out these days.One is because people come and go in the market, and they often have to do some rough work, so it’s really distressing to scratch and scratch; second, although the market is safe, the surrounding is full of dangers, and the bosses don’t want to reveal their wealth even if they have thousands of dollars. , It looks pretty shabby on weekdays.

So he went to work with his baggy old canvas bag.It wasn't until the end of the winter vacation a few days later that the leather bag Natasha gave him was upgraded to a school bag for class.

As soon as the new semester started, Hu Yi's life immediately became extremely busy.The distribution of courses in the school is irregular, ranging from one period to as many as four periods a day. He needs to work hard to grasp the balance between class and work.

Fu Jiahui did not forget his promise of being considerate, and whenever Hu Yi had to attend class, he personally watched in the box.Hu Yi was grateful for this, but also felt terrified. He maintained a minimum class attendance rate and devoted the rest of his time to market work.

Friends came back from home one after another.While he was running between the school and the market every day, Cauliflower and Anna also officially started the preparations for the Good Mood Internet Cafe.

Zhou Dali had already learned about their overall plan in detail on the Internet before, and did not raise any objections. After returning to Moscow, he took out the money and handed it to Cauliflower, and then he ignored it and became the shopkeeper.

All the funds are in place, Caihua is in charge of assembling the computer, and Anna is responsible for purchasing other items such as tables, chairs and freezers, and contacting network suppliers.There are two people, one man and one woman, one Chinese and one Russian, one old and one young, one is full of interest and full of confidence, the other is serious and responsible, conscientious and hardworking.

Hu Yi was so busy these days that he didn't care about the work results of Cauliflower and Anna.The day before the opening of the Internet cafe, he happened to get off work early, so he took Natasha and a group of friends to visit.

Since the battle with the skinheads at the dinner party at the end of last year, today is the first time Hu Yi has returned here in two months, and everything in front of him is quite different from before.

The couplets on both sides of the door have been removed, and the original simple plaque of the hotel has been replaced with a blue light box signboard with the words "Good Mood Internet Cafe", with small characters in multiple languages ​​next to it, which looks full of vitality.

Hu Yi was stunned outside for a while, then followed everyone to open the door and enter.The walls were re-pasted with bright-color wallpapers with simple and abstract patterns, and the partition between the kitchen and operating rooms was opened, making the whole room feel much more spacious than before.

"This place... is a bit of a waste, isn't it?" Hu Yi looked around, and the [-] computers in the depths of the room only took up less than half of the space, and there was nothing at the door except the bar and the freezer, which seemed very empty.

"It's quite empty indeed." Cauliflower scratched her head helplessly: "Let's do this first, and add a few more computers later when we earn money."

"It's not enough to add a few more." Hu Yi stretched out his hand and compared a few times: "It's best to think of a way to use it."

"The old nonsense is right." Zhou Dali obviously felt that it was a pity that this place was vacant, so he rarely offered a suggestion: "Why don't you sell something here."

"What are you selling?"

"I don't know, I just said it casually." Zhou Dali raised his head and pondered for a while: "Mouse? Keyboard? Headphones?"

"You can pull it down quickly. Can people who come to the Internet cafe buy those things? Will people who need those things come to the Internet cafe to play?" Hu Yi looked at him with a look of disgust: "You seem to be like... Selling VCDs in movie theaters is not fun for yourself.”

"That's right." Cauliflower echoed repeatedly: "Besides, this place is quiet in the first place, and it's under Building 11. The girls who come here are all girls, and they don't have much interest in things like mice and keyboards."

"No, this idea is too stinky." Hu Yi said: "With your brain, you will lose your ass if you do business."

Zhou Dali grinned: "That's right, so I just pay the money and leave the work to Xiaocai."

Several people crossed their shoulders and walked towards the area where the computers were placed. Seeing that Natasha and Anna were sitting and chatting together, and Xiang Nan was also listening, Hu Yi went over and patted her with a smile: "You guys What are you talking about? Can you understand what they are talking about?"

Xiang Nan turned his head: "Brother, I praised Natasha's pants just now, and she said you gave them to her."

Hu Yi was very proud: "Yes, you like it? Waiting for my brother to buy you some."

"No, I'm not suitable for wearing this kind of trousers." Xiang Nan sighed with her mouth flattened: "I just told Natasha that she has a good figure and looks great in it; I'm too thin and I don't look good in it. "

"Huh?" Hu Yi looked at her happily: "You can also explain these words in Russian? You're making rapid progress."

"Hey, I just made up words." Xiang Nan stuck out her tongue: "Anna also praised her pants just now, but I can't understand what they said afterwards."

"Well, brother, go and find out their little secret." Hu Yi winked at her, and coughed lightly at Natasha: "Honey——"

"Honey!" Natasha raised her face and shook her hair with a smile: "Anna has an idea to tell you."

Hu Yi was taken aback: "Have an idea?"

"Yes, Anton." Anna looked up at him with a serious face: "I have an idea."
