Siheyuan starts from a better life

Chapter 1018 Teacher
They took a plane when they came here, and they would naturally take a plane when they leave. These people did not stay here for a few days. Early the next morning, after Jiang Yan sent them on the plane, he drove slowly and aimlessly on the streets. He had not seen this city for many years, so he wanted to take a good look at it today to see if it was different from before.

Moscow is a flat city with good greenery. There are tree-lined avenues on both sides of the wide roads. But now it is winter in Moscow. Although it is not deep winter, it is still cold enough.

The tributaries are interlaced, the water is gentle, and various buildings are dotted in the city, ranging from elegant apartment buildings before the revolution to ugly concrete high-rises. However, the Russian bear has a large territory and abundant resources, especially land, which is cheap, so there are many villas around the city. Even the high-rise buildings have a fairly uniform style, but the former splendor now looks a little shabby.

There are several hills rising around the colorful plain, which is really interesting to look at. Arbat Street is a famous pedestrian street in the center of Moscow. It originated in the 15th century and is close to the Moscow River. It is one of the oldest streets in Moscow.

Although it is narrow and short, only 800 to 900 meters long and 10 meters wide, it has a strong Russian style. Russians call it "Moscow Spirit". On this street paved with square bricks, you can see the most traditional and simple things, as well as the most modern and fashionable things. On both sides of the street, those quaint old shops and specialty shops selling traditional crafts are displayed like antiques. Of course, there are many kinds of shops on this street, especially coffee shops, which look unique.

After passing Arbat Street, a majestic building appeared in front of Jiang Yan. This building is currently the tallest building of the Russian Bear in Moscow. It is located at the Russian Bear’s highest institution of learning, Moscow University, which is also the school where Jiang Yan studied abroad before.

Moscow State University is the oldest university in Russia. On January 1755, 1, Queen Elizabeth Petrovna personally approved the establishment of this most famous Russian university. The main building is the eldest of the "Seven Sisters", 25 meters high, and is still one of the tallest universities in the world. The construction of the main building of Moscow State University was completed by German prisoners of war at the time. It took five years to finally build this magnificent building.

From the appearance of the Seven Sisters of Stalinist architecture, the main building of Moscow State University is the most spectacular. The project cost about 2 million US dollars. The stone materials of the main building are all from the Alps. There is a large park in front and behind the main building, with lush trees, many landscapes and beautiful environment. In particular, the observation deck on the Moscow River has become a good place to see the Moscow city skyline due to its high terrain and wide field of vision.

However, not far behind such a conspicuous building, there is a very inconspicuous place, strictly speaking, a building complex. This building complex is a square office building behind a pond. It is far away from the metropolis and looks like a peaceful island, but it is actually the technical nerve center of the bear.

Countless scientists here have added new control technologies to intercontinental ballistic missiles, nuclear power plants and jet fighters through formulas. These formulas control everything that can move, from super-secret satellite orbits to mail sorting schemes, etc., basically all come from this place, so it is not an exaggeration to call it the academic center of the Russian bear.

Arriving at the gate of the university, Jiang Yan suddenly thought of his former mentor, Zovsky. When drinking yesterday, Jiang Yan specifically asked about him and learned that his teacher is now almost 70 years old and is still teaching at Moscow University. Thinking of this, Jiang Yan decided to pay him a visit.

The security guard of Moscow University was undoubtedly conscientious in his duties. Jiang Yan explained his purpose to the security guard. When borrowing the phone, Jiang Yan also handed the security guard a ten-ruble note. After receiving the ten rubles, the security guard was very happy. After all, no matter how big the rules are, they are not as important as the face of the ruble. The current Soviet Union is already crumbling. For the little people at the bottom like them, filling their stomachs is the most important thing.

On the other end of the phone, his former teacher Zovsky was naturally very happy to hear that it was Jiang Yan who came to see him, so he asked Jiang Yan to wait in a "People's Coffee Shop" on Arbat Street, and he would ask someone to pick Jiang Yan up to where he lived. Jiang Yan originally wanted to drive there by himself, but on the phone, the teacher told Jiang Yan that the place where they lived was highly confidential and it was basically impossible to get in without someone to accompany him.

"People's Coffee Shop" is the largest coffee shop in the country of Russia. After entering the coffee shop, Jiang Yan sat quietly in the cafe, looking at the scenery in the distance, then picked up the cup, took a sip, and couldn't help but grin. It was really bitter.

Because there was no sugar in the coffee, it wasn't that Jiang Yan didn't want to add sugar, but there was no sugar in the cafe. He originally wanted tea, but the waiter of this cafe said there was no tea, and the Indian tea with elephant packaging would not arrive until next week, and they only had one kind of tea, which would be gone once it was sold out.

Jiang Yan shrugged and smiled helplessly.

After a while, a middle-aged man in his forties, extremely intelligent, sat in front of Jiang Yan.

"Nikita." Jiang Yan, who was originally in deep thought, was startled when he heard someone calling him. He looked up and was overjoyed.

"Little Zovsky, why are you here?"

Xiaozovsky is the son of his teacher. He was only a teenager when Jiang Yan left. Now he has become a vicissitudes of life uncle. Seeing him, Jiang Yan realized that time is really unforgiving!

"Have a cup of coffee first." Jiang Yan asked him to sit down, and then asked the waiter to bring coffee, but he stopped him.

"Nikita, father is waiting for you. Let's go over there first! We can have coffee together sometime."

"Okay, let's go." Jiang Yan casually put down five rubles and stood up. Seeing Jiang Yan so arrogant, Xiaozovsky opened his eyes. He would also come to the "People's Coffee Shop" when he had time. The coffee here was not expensive, just a little more than one ruble per cup.

"Nikita, the change hasn't been given yet!" Xiaozovsky reminded Jiang Yan.

"Just consider it as their tip." Jiang Yan waved his hand arrogantly, pulled him and walked out.

"Come, I'll take you." Little Zovsky patted his bicycle and said.

"Forget it, I drove here today, let's take a ride." Jiang Yan pointed to the car parked near the coffee shop and spoke.

"Xiaozovsky, what kind of job are you doing now?" Jiang Yan asked while sitting in the car.

"Well, I followed my father to do some research, and now I am also teaching at Moscow University." Xiaozovsky said.

"Not bad, you are following in your father's footsteps." Jiang Yan said in a low voice.

My teacher Mao Xiong's home is not far from here. The place where he lives is also considered the teacher dormitory area of ​​Moscow University. However, these are basically three-story small Western-style buildings, which are decorated quite beautifully. Of course, those who can live here are basically teachers with senior titles.
