Far away in Moscow

Chapter 75 Tour
"The long night will pass soon and the sky will be dark~Meng~bright~, I sincerely wish you a good girl~" Everyone's Chinese singing and the driver's Russian singing are intertwined, and at the end of the singing they reached a tacit understanding at the same time: "I hope that from now on~ you and I will never Forget about the morning on the outskirts of Moscow!"

Half an hour later, the car reached the city center.Hu Yi took them on a cruise on the Moscow River. The guests were all sitting in the cabin, and he stood alone on the bow of the boat, watching the cruise ship ride the wind and waves on the slightly turbulent river, which seemed to symbolize his smooth sailing from now on to study abroad. In life, I couldn't help stretching out my hand to stroke the hair that was blown by the wind, feeling very comfortable in my heart.

After disembarking, I walked to the Red Square. There are many tourists here today, and everyone’s emotions are high. From time to time, some people leave the team to pose for pictures. Only the old couple who look like township cadres are always by the side of the two tour guides.

Hu Yi and Sister Sun kept counting the number of people repeatedly, one after the other, for fear that anyone would get lost.Fortunately, the middle-aged professor was very disciplined, hurriedly followed when he was a little farther away from the team, and kept telling other team members to keep in line; They come together.With the help of these two enthusiastic people, it has made the tour guide a lot more worry-free.

Hu Yi led the team to stop and go, secretly controlling the speed of travel, and came to the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier just in time for the changing of the guard.The guards marched solemnly with a [-]-degree goose step, forming a strange contrast with the nearby onlookers who happily took pictures.

Hu Yi caught a glimpse by chance, and saw the middle-aged professor standing with his feet together, his hands down straight and straight outside the crowd, staring solemnly at the eternal flame burning in the center of the five-pointed star in front of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, and there seemed to be tears in his eyes.

He was suddenly curious, and gently leaned over to the professor and smiled: "Hey, why are you still feeling sad?"

"It's nothing." The professor blinked vigorously, took a deep breath, and said with emotion, "It's great!"

"Great?" Hu Yi looked at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier with flowers on it: "Are you talking about them?"

"Yes! Because they are unknown, they are great." The professor's voice trembled slightly: "I didn't feel this way in front of Lenin's tomb. Compared with some famous figures in history, these unknown heroes paid their lives for the peace of mankind. But it is unknown and unknown, and it is worth remembering by future generations. Although the martyrs of the Soviet Red Army are commemorated here, they, like our unknown martyrs, sacrificed to defend their country, so I respect them. "

"Oh, yes." Hu Yi shrugged noncommittally, then raised his wrist to look at his watch, and greeted everyone softly: "Let's go, it's time to eat later."

After wandering around the Red Square until noon, Hu Yi led the team to the agreed place on the side of the road and waited for the bus.The big girl who asked Hu Yi to sing in the car in the morning suddenly said shyly, "Director Hu, why isn't there a public toilet on this road? I want to make it easier, so I've been holding back for a long time."

"Toilet?" Hu Yi scratched his head and looked around: "Yo, it's a bit difficult. There are not many public toilets in this place. Or..."

The professor suddenly pointed behind him and shouted, "There's McDonald's! McDonald's can go to the bathroom!"

Hu Yi turned his head to look, and said in a low voice, "Brother, that's the subway station."

"Oh? Oh! No wonder, no wonder." The professor blushed slightly: "I just said, the font and color of this 'M' are a bit strange, I thought the McDonald's in Russia was different from the domestic ones."

Hu Yi pursed his lips and smiled slightly, then turned around and said to the eldest girl: "You didn't say it earlier, there was a McDonald's near the Red Square just now, but it's too late to go back now. The bus will come soon, just hold on and wait until you get to the restaurant." .”

The place to eat is a little far from the city center, and it is an unremarkable Chinese restaurant.The restaurant is not big, and there are barely a few round tables. Even though no one else is dining, the guests in the group are still crowded.

The lunch meals were very ordinary. Although there were more than a dozen plates on each table, which looked like meat and vegetables, they were not complete in color, aroma, and taste, and it was hard to swallow.Although the guests were a little hungry after shopping all morning, they still tasted the same. They all had sad faces and couldn't help complaining a few words.Only the old couple didn't say a word, just buried their heads and mouthed the rice.

Hu Yi ate a few mouthfuls, walked outside the door and stood smoking, and waited for all the guests to finish eating, then got into the car behind everyone, looked at the displeased Northeast sister and said with a smile: "Sister, I'm full ?"

"I'm full! I'm full of gas!" The eldest sister poked her neck angrily: "This guy, good guy, I haven't had a decent meal since I got off the plane! It's just not as good as a meal!"

Hu Yi chuckled: "It's not very good. This is the condition for group meals in Russia. You should overcome it more."

"Pull it down! Don't fool me!" The elder sister rolled his eyes at him: "Someone has come to play in our place, and the food they eat is much better than ours."

Hu Yi guessed that the prices of the tour groups were different, but he couldn't say it directly, so he could only accompany him with a smile: "Today's dinner is not included in the itinerary. You can arrange it yourself and buy some special snacks to try."

"What kind of color! I've been free for several meals these days, and it's just a little stuff to eat. Either the oil is too much, or the cheese tastes too strong. Young people can accept it, but we can't eat it when we are old. I'm used to it." The eldest sister turned to look at the old couple: "What do you say, uncle and aunt?"

The uncle smiled and said nothing, but the old woman nodded stiffly: "Yes, I'm not used to it."

The professor took the conversation seriously: "The eating habits of Russians are related to their climate. Although Moscow is not in a high latitude area, it should belong to a temperate continental climate, but it is also very close to the frigid zone, and the winter is still very cold. People I have been used to high-calorie food for a long time to resist the low temperature, and now it is time to put on autumn fat..."

"Cultural people are starting class again!" The eldest sister grinned a few times, and waved her hand to urge Hu Yi: "Director Hu! Hurry up and leave! Otherwise, he will talk endlessly!"

Take a car of people to see several scenic spots along the road, browse the shops selling souvenirs and jewelry, and return to the Red Square by car to visit the Kremlin. The last stop of the day today is to visit Arbat Street freely.

Along the way, everyone's topics were still focused on the group meals these days, and you and I talked about each other, and the discussion was full of enthusiasm and aggrieved.The eldest sister first suggested: "Director Hu, you are familiar with this place, can you take us to have something good for dinner?"
