Far away in Moscow

Chapter 187
After more than a month of temporary remedies, Hu Yi performed at an ideal level in the final exam.Originally, his class attendance rate was a bit low, but thanks to the false bomb alarms that appeared every three days at the beginning of this semester, the teachers didn't pay too much attention to everyone's attendance situation, and gave him pretty good grades one after another.

During the few days of the exam, he asked for leave and didn't go to work. By the time the exam was over and he went to the market, Fu Jiahui's fourth uncle had already returned to China.

"Fourth Uncle left? So fast? It's been less than two months since he came here?" Hu Yi was a little confused: "Could it be just to see what's going on here?"

"That's right, it's just to see the situation, or it can be said to come to the front line." Fu Jiahui looked up at the sky leisurely: "I will probably come back in a few days, maybe it's him, maybe it's someone else."

"Playing the front station? What do you mean? Aren't you the front station for them?"

Fu Jiahui didn't answer his question, but slowly shook his head and muttered: "Old Hu, you won't be returning to China during the summer vacation, right?"

"I—" Hu Yi froze for a moment, then nodded and agreed: "I was planning to go back, but if you need me to stay, I'll just stay here."

"It's best to stay. I may have to go back to China in a few days, and then I can only let you help me to keep an eye on the affairs here."

"Okay, no problem." Hu Yi hesitated for a while, and asked: "Didn't you go back in April? How long will you go this time?"

"It's not sure yet." Fu Jiahui smacked his lips: "Meng Xuanna will be separating soon, and there are many things that need to be dealt with. I want to go back and help my dad. I will come back when everything is settled."

"What?" Hu Yi had seen some clues from various signs before, but he was still very surprised when he said it himself: "You want to separate?! Why?"

"Hey, it's hard to say." Fu Jiahui let out a long breath: "But it's a matter of time. Uncle has been planning for a long time, and we are all mentally prepared."

"But...but you are all a family, relatives, isn't it good to unite to earn money and do things together? Why do you have to split up?"

"What do you know?" Fu Jiahui glanced at him with a smile: "A few years ago, everyone came out to follow my dad to open a factory and start a business. Everyone was loyal, hardworking, and said what they said. The family atmosphere was very good. Later, the business When it grows bigger, it earns more money, and all kinds of gossip and moths come out."

Hu Yi once heard Sun Shoutian mention these things, but he couldn't understand them thoroughly for the time being, so he frowned and said in a low voice: "Is it your uncle who stabbed him in the back? He is really not a fuel-efficient lamp."

"Hey, you're thinking wrong. My uncle has no ambitions, but he has soft ears and no opinions. Even people like Sun Shoutian can fool him casually." Fu Jiahui shook his head: "Actually In the beginning, others were dissatisfied with my dad, but they spoke lightly, so they went to tease my uncle, the oldest person in the family. Uncle was fooled by them all the way, and finally came to where he is today."

"This, this is really..." Hu Yi felt that the affairs of their family were too complicated, and he had no need or interest to figure it out, so he smiled and sighed.

"Come on, I won't talk to you about this anymore. It's boring, I'm even annoyed." Fu Jiahui smiled lightly: "Anyway, after I'm gone, I'm asking you to take care of the big stalls here."

"Don't worry." Hu Yi nodded and agreed, "I will take care of everything."

At the beginning of the summer vacation, Hu Yi finally no longer had to worry about school affairs, and focused his energy on the market.

After working here for half a year, Fu Jiahui has a lot of trust in him.Now that Sun Shoutian has been driven away, and the fourth uncle has returned to the country, Hu Yi is in charge of almost all the big and small things in the box, and he is Meng Xuanna's big housekeeper in the market.

Fu Jiahui returned to China in mid-July. Before leaving, he also handed over the daily remittance work to Hu Yi, and carefully told him: "Just withdraw all kinds of daily expenses from the box, and just keep a good account. If you have something to do, you can always Call me, and remember to ensure your own safety first in case of an accident."

"Okay, I remember."

"From now on, your salary has risen to [-]." Fu Jiahui handed him a wad of rubles: "Here, you should collect this month's money first. If I haven't come back next month, you will start from the rubles yourself." Take it from the box."

As soon as Fu Jiahui left, Hu Yi became the only owner of the box, guarding the market from morning to night every day.He is now familiar with the daily work process, and it is nothing more than a few things to come here every day, which is a bit boring.

But now that the weather has turned warmer, he no longer has to suffer from the severe cold, so he doesn't feel very hard.When I am free, I chat with Uncle Yu for a few days, sit by the box with a cigarette in my mouth, read a book, and read newspapers.

Da Liu's rented novels are occasionally updated, and he will always send a text message to notify Hu Yi as soon as he gets a new book.And Hu Yi still remembers the intoxicating toilet smell in Huanglou, so since he went there once, he no longer patronizes. Every time he rents and returns books, he waits outside Huanglou for Liu to come out, or asks him to deliver them. Bring the newspaper to yourself when you pass by.

The quality of the novels under Liu's bed is uneven, and there are not many that can arouse Hu Yi's interest. After a few months, he has read almost all of them.He also brought a few novels from the dormitory that he had finished reading to pass the time. When he felt really bored, he went to a nearby Internet cafe to stay for a while.

Hu Yi went to the Internet cafe, unlike Sun Shoutian, he didn't know how to play online games, so he could only find a random stand-alone game to play for a while.Sometimes he wants to play CS online with other people, but unfortunately his level is not high, and he is often abused to death, so he will inevitably feel sulky with himself.

In addition, the Internet cafes in the market are full of smog and sanitary conditions. In summer, the smell of sweat, feet, and fart comes in turn, intertwined and pungent, so he sits there for a long time every time.

Later, I couldn't bear it anymore, so I didn't go there at all. After returning to the dormitory, I used this as a negative example to tell Anna from time to time, and asked her to do a good job in sanitation and ventilation in the Internet cafe.

It seemed redundant to warn Anna about these things. She worked as a store manager in the dormitory Internet cafe for a few months, and kept the indoor environment clean and tidy every day.

Since the opening of the Internet cafe, the business has been good. Caihua and Zhou Dali added a few more computers before returning to China during the summer vacation.Now they only care about the money and leave all other affairs to Anna to take care of, even hiring other people and paying wages are rarely bothered.

While taking care of the Internet cafe conscientiously, Anna's small clothing stall has also maintained its original scale and sales speed.Natasha came to the market every week to buy three or five bundles of pants. If it was not too late to pick up the goods that day, she would stay with Hu Yi in the box for a while, and then go home together.

Hu Yi has been in the market almost every day for the past six months, and the bosses of the surrounding boxes have long been familiar with him.Seeing that Fu Jiahui put the box in his care at ease, he naturally trusted him a little more.

There are not many things for the shippers in the market. It takes only a few hours to complete the delivery and collection. The only delay is waiting for the delivery of the goods.

Most of the bosses are restless people. Every afternoon when they remit money back to China, they only want to enjoy life. Some want to go out to play cards and make money, some want to go home and play computer games, and some want to spend time with girls. Others wanted to have a few drinks and rest early.

The ideas are all good, but if the truck arrives late that day, they will always have something to think about in their hearts, and they will not have a good time playing, and they will not be able to rest at ease.

Now that Hu Yi was waiting to pick up the goods at the market every day, rain or shine, some people began to follow Uncle Yu's approach and asked him to help bring their own goods.Of course, in addition to Bacha's wages and various tolls, a single taxi fare of [-] rubles is also indispensable.

It doesn't require a lot of effort and can earn extra money. Hu Yi naturally does not refuse this kind of request.As the night-time pick-up agent for several nearby cargo owners, he often picked up thirty or forty packages of goods in one night, and suddenly became the biggest customer and popular person in the eyes of the Bachas in the parking lot.

Now as long as he shows up in the parking lot at night, there will be a group of Bacha swarming over to grab the job.Hu Yi always greets Yabalov and his friends first, and then chooses a few familiar faces or people who look pleasing to the eye as needed.

After a while, he was too lazy to worry about it by himself, and every time there were a lot of goods, he handed several shipping bills to Yabalov and asked him to arrange delivery.

Although Yabalov has a straightforward personality, he has been in the market for a long time, and he has naturally learned some tricks.Bacha originally paid one hundred rubles per package for delivery, but he negotiated at ninety, kept the extra ten rubles in his pocket, and never shied away from Huyi.

Hu Yi saw it, and although he felt a little uncomfortable, he didn't say anything when he thought that Yabalov was a poor poor man and had been diligently following him to deliver the goods.

Unexpectedly, after picking up the goods several times at night, Yabalov found Hu Yi with two thousand rubles: "Anton, these are your money."

"What?" Hu Yi was in a daze: "What money?"

"It helped you save money these days." Yabalov took out a small notebook from his breast pocket, and smiled slightly complacently: "The people I arrange can save ten rubles per package. Because it's too little , so it was brought to you when it was saved into an integer. Here is the record of each time, you can check it."

"The money you saved for me??" Hu Yi was inexplicably moved for a moment, and reached out to push back the money and the notebook one by one: "No need, Yaba. You can just keep the money for yourself, I don't need it."

"I stay?" Yabalov opened his mouth wide: "This is all your money!"

"It's not mine, but...many people's." Hu Yi felt that there was no need to explain more, shook his head and smiled: "In short, these are the wages for shipping goods. Whoever can save it is his, understand? ?”

Yabalov scratched his head with a bitter face, and whispered softly: "I... can I really stay?"

"Of course I can! I say I can."

"Okay, then." Yabalov bowed his head and hesitated for a while, then took out a thousand rubles and handed it to Hu Yi: "The two of us, each half."
