Far away in Moscow

Chapter 63 Building No. 10
"No, who is Sixth Brother?" Xia Yan looked confused.

"Oh. Then who is your agent? Who sent you here to go to school?"

"I don't know much about it." Xia Yan scratched her head honestly: "Is it someone from us? It seems to be a friend of a friend of my father's friend."

"Oh." Hu Yi slightly raised his eyebrows: "Then where is he? Why didn't he come to take you through the formalities?"

"I don't know." Xia Yan sighed gloomily: "The agency said someone was coming to pick me up, but I waited at the airport for more than half an hour and didn't see anyone."

"What rubbish intermediary! No sense of responsibility at all." Hu Yi shook his head and asked curiously, "Eh? Then how did you find this place from the airport?"

"There were a few Chinese who came to Friendship University to go to school on the plane. Teacher Wang from the school happened to pick them up. Did they bring me along?"

"Teacher Wang?" Hu Yi looked at Xia Yan suspiciously: "Who is it?"

"Is it just a tall man with long yellow hair, who seems to be from the Northeast."

"Oh? It's him? Teacher Wang, hehe." Hu Yi smiled lightly: "Since he can bring you back, why didn't he help you complete the formalities?"

Xia Yan said: "I asked him, but he said that I'm not their student, and giving me a free ride is already a special consideration. If you help with the formalities, you will be charged two hundred dollars."

"What? Two hundred dollars?!" Hu Yi stubbed out his cigarette, and rolled his eyes: "I really dare to speak, this kid is quite black."

Xia Yan was stunned: "Then you help me go through the formalities. How much do you need to charge?"

"Why do you charge me money? It just so happens that I have to pay tuition fees and renew my visa, so I'll just take you with me tomorrow." Hu Yile: "But the agency your dad hired is not very good, you have to tell your family Clear, ask him to understand, it's too embarrassing."

"That's right. By the way, I haven't called home since I got off the plane!" Xia Yan stood up suddenly, took out a mobile phone from her bag and put it in front of Hu Yi: "Brother, I brought a mobile phone , but there is no SIM card, do you know where to get it?"

"SIM cards are sold everywhere." Hu Yi took his mobile phone and played with it twice, then handed it back to him, got up and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to buy one. But the mobile phone is too expensive to call directly to China." , You have to have an international long-distance card to be cost-effective, so you can use my card today to report safety to your family."

"Okay, thank you Brother Hu!"

"You're welcome." Hu Yi led him out of the room, closed the door, and introduced as he went downstairs: "The toilet and kitchen are at the end of the corridor, and there are public bathrooms and laundry rooms downstairs. The dormitory may lock the door at night. Remember to come back early when you go out at night. There are thieves in the dormitory sometimes. It is best to hide the US dollars and valuables in a safe place, not in the box. Try not to go to remote and strange places alone. Be sure to bring your passport and student ID card when you go out. Watch out for skinheads, and watch out for black widows when you take the subway.”

Talking all the way, Hu Yi didn't seem to have made a deliberate summary, but just casually shared what he saw and heard in Moscow in the past two years and his life experience.

Looking back, seeing Xia Yan half-opening his mouth and covering his face, Hu Yi smiled slightly: "Hey, haven't you heard of skinheads and black widows? Let me explain to you in detail."

The next morning, Hu Yi went to school to settle his own affairs, and then helped Xia Yan line up to complete all the formalities one by one, and took him to the neighborhood to buy some daily necessities, and did not return to the dormitory until five o'clock in the afternoon.After eating something to fill his stomach, he planned to go to Building 10 to find the administrator to check in.

There are currently eleven dormitory buildings in use in the dormitory area of ​​Youda University. Buildings 1-8 are five-story buildings. Although the cost is relatively low, they do not have independent bathrooms like Building 6. Long-term living is really inconvenient.

Buildings 9-11 are high-rise apartment suites.Among them, building No. 11 has good conditions in all aspects, but only girls are allowed to live there. Building No. 9 is located on the edge of the woods. The internal facilities are in good condition and relatively quiet, but the cost is higher.Although Li Baoqing has returned the living expenses he borrowed before, Hu Yi still has a little money to last until next summer vacation, so he deliberated and finally decided to live in Building 10.

Building No. 10 is located close to the road. The facilities and environment in the building are not ideal. It can be said that everything is inferior to Building No. 9. The only advantage is that it is slightly cheaper.

Perhaps it is precisely because of the price advantage that Building 10 has a lot of applicants, and the building is quite full. Visitors of all kinds come in an endless stream from morning to night. It is the most lively dormitory building in the entire Friendship University. The feeling of chaos, many students frowned and shook their heads when they mentioned the word "Building 10", as if they were talking about slums.

The dormitory administrator's office is on the second floor. The corridor is quiet and the lights are very dim.Hu Yi knocked on the door and walked into the office. Seeing several dark-skinned Asian students standing in front of the administrator's desk, he sat on the sofa with other people in the room and waited.

The administrator of Building 10 is a big man with a thick body but not strong. He is in his 30s. He has a wide face and a round chin. A little down and out, his eyes are sometimes sharp and sometimes decadent.

It is said that he had participated in the first Chechen war. Unfortunately, he was ambushed in a battle and his left leg was seriously injured.The comrades rescued him under fire and sent him to the field hospital. His leg was saved, but he was left with a lifelong disability. He had to leave the army and come here to work as a dormitory administrator.

The administrator's left knee joint cannot be bent, and when he walks, he always pulls his trouser leg with difficulty, shakes his body, and walks very fast. The Chinese in Building 10 called him lame behind his back, but Hu Yi felt that his appearance was very similar to the little Ma in the movie "The True Colors of a Hero".

The dormitory has not yet started to adopt computerized management. Check-in procedures are very cumbersome. Various forms, various certificates, and various documents must be filled out, stamped, signed, and filed one by one, which is a test of the patience of the handling staff. degree.

Probably because the start of school was approaching, and he had dealt with too many applications for admission recently, the frantic brother Ma had a somewhat blunt attitude towards the students in front of him, and he didn't even have a smile on his face.

Finally dismissing the previous applicants one by one, Xiao Ma pressed the table and got up to pour himself a glass of water, frowned and rolled his eyelids at Hu Yi: "What's the matter with you?"
