Far away in Moscow

Chapter 200 Greeting the Fifth Year

Hu Yi failed to give Xiang Nan any useful advice, and Xiang Nan didn't have the courage to tell his brother such a cruel truth, whether it was by phone or QQ chat.

She tossed and turned all night, and called her parents early the next morning to tell her parents what happened, and asked them to choose a time to talk to Xiangdong.

"My brother knows." On the last night of the end of the year, Xiang Nan came to Hu Yi's dormitory and dragged him to a place where no one was in the corridor: "My parents didn't dare to speak out for fear of irritating him, they just kept talking. The bedding was laid until the liar told my brother that he would not be allowed to go to Hong Kong for Christmas, and that night my brother was sad and angry and hid on the balcony without eating or drinking."

"Hiding on the balcony?"

"Yeah, although the floor of my house is not too high, it still scared my parents enough." Xiang Nan narrated with lingering fear: "It's cold, they stood on the balcony for half an hour, and finally put My brother persuaded me to go back to the house and sit down. The old couple sandwiched him between one left and one right, alas, I finally told him about the fake photos."

"What did Dongzi say?"

"He..." Xiang Nan shook his head slowly: "My mother said that he refused to believe it, and scolded a lot of nasty words, saying that his parents had bad intentions, and they just made up nonsense to lie to him because they were unwilling to spend money on him."

"Fuck, this kid really doesn't know what's good!"

"But he was flustered after all. After a few curses, he turned on the computer and went online to question that person. He didn't answer over there, and no one answered the phone. My brother called desperately until the phone was turned off. Finally, he had to believe it. .”

"and then?"

"Then...he has locked himself in the house for the past few days, and hardly ever goes out of the bedroom except to go to the bathroom, and he doesn't go to work. My parents bring him meals every meal, and he eats two casually when he is hungry, but one sentence He didn't say a word." Xiang Nan's eyes turned red slightly: "Sometimes... not necessarily when, my parents suddenly heard him yelling in the room, and they couldn't tell whether he was laughing or crying."

"He must be very aggrieved. Tell me, Dongzi is a good person, how could he become like this!" Hu Yi put his hands on the window sill, looked out the window and said in a muffled voice: "I still remember the last time I went back to China When we met, he was really in good condition at that time, although his appearance was a bit sloppy, but his mentality was very sunny and positive, I didn't expect that now... Sigh!"

Xiang Nan leaned back against the wall, her eyes dimmed: "It was all caused by that liar."

The two looked at each other speechlessly.After a while, Hu Yi sighed softly: "This matter is too exciting for him, give him some time, let him slow down."

As soon as the words were finished, Fang Qing and Li Baoqing walked out of the kitchen with a pot in their hands, chatting and laughing: "Hey, what are you two whispering? Go back to the room quickly, dinner is ready!"

Tonight is the New Year's Eve dinner. Compared with last year and today, the venue has been changed from the idle hotel to Hu Yi's room, but the number of people has not changed.Although Lao Wei and Wang Shen were missing, Natasha and Li Baoqing were added, as well as Misha who was lying on the sidelines waiting for others to throw meat to it.

Li Baoqing was specially invited back by Hu Yi. On the surface, he was asked to cook and cook, but in fact there were other reasons.

On the one hand, the two brothers hadn't seen each other much this year, so they just took this opportunity to get together tonight; on the other hand, every time they met, Li Baoqing always asked about Yu Feifei's recent situation, intentionally or not.Hu Yi was amused in his heart, so he simply took this opportunity to ask him to meet Yu Feifei to relieve the pain of lovesickness left in his heart.

A large group of people sat around in the dormitory room, which seemed a little crowded, but everyone was in high spirits. They chatted with each other and expressed their most sincere New Year wishes to each other. The atmosphere of the dinner was very cheerful.

After a few rounds of drinking, everyone at the table was a little drunk. Li Baoqing stood up and slapped his hands: "Brothers and sisters! Listen to me. Hehe, everyone just said that they were blessing others, and they will arrive soon. It's a new year, why don't we think about ourselves and talk about our New Year's resolutions, shall we?"

"Okay!" Everyone nodded in response.Hu Yi smiled and said, "You can do it, kid. I haven't been in the market for more than a year, and I'm good at speaking."

"Of course—Old Hu, you are responsible for translating for two beauties who don't understand Chinese." Li Baoqing habitually touched the spot where the scar on his face used to be: "Brother Fang, you are the oldest, let's start with you." , let's go round and round."

"Well, I don't have any wishes." Fang Qing picked up a chopstick and tapped the plate lightly: "However, I'm not afraid of you kids making jokes. I have been studying for a master's degree in journalism for several years. .To be honest, I didn’t learn much, but I’ve been in Moscow for a long time, and I hope I can graduate this year—this should be my New Year’s resolution!”

"And then?" Everyone heard some implication from his words, looked sideways at Anna, and asked in unison, "Are you going back to China?"

"I discussed this matter with Anna, but I haven't decided yet." Fang Qing shook his head and smiled: "I want to continue my doctorate, but it must be more difficult to graduate. Well, don't think about it, first strive for a master's degree, and then take a step forward Let's take a step."

"Okay!" Li Baoqing raised his glass: "Come on, let's respect Brother Fang together, and wish him his wish to come true and graduate smoothly!"

"The next one is yours." Hu Yi put down his glass, turned to look at Anna: "Tell me what you wish for in the new year!"

"Before I tell you my wish, I have to explain something first." Anna looked around at everyone in the room solemnly: "Last summer, the restaurant where I used to work closed down. I searched around and accidentally got a Temporary job in Building 10. At that time, I never thought that I would get to meet young friends from China through such an opportunity, and thanks to you, I am now returning to work in the original place by accident.”

Anna's words were sincere, and all the listeners showed knowing smiles on their faces.She pointed at Caihua and Zhou Dali with both hands, and continued: "Fang and Anton are two people who have treated me very well, so there is no need to say anything. Today, I would like to thank the other two when the new year comes, Zhou and Anton Cai. It is your generosity and trust that gave me a new job opportunity and a good income."

"Where, it's nothing." Zhou Dali waved his hands again and again: "You are very responsible for your work, and we also want to thank you."

"Yes." Cauliflower repeated: "We also want to thank you."

"No, I should be more grateful." Perhaps it was the effect of alcohol, but Anna, who was always calm and sophisticated, trembled a little when she spoke.

"Wish, Anna, have you forgotten?" Seeing that she was agitated, Hu Yi smiled and reached out and knocked twice on the table: "Tell us your wish."
