Chapter 1112 This is not heaven (first update, please subscribe)
"Congratulations, congratulations to you, congratulations, congratulations to you, winter is coming to an end, what good news..."

This song is played on the radio and TV every year around the Spring Festival. Especially this year, it has once again become popular around the world.

Because it was once heard in space - astronaut Wang Baoxian once hummed this song in space.

In early 1958, Wang Baoxian was invited to visit the UK. He rode in a convertible and was warmly welcomed by British people wherever he went. Those British ladies even risked climbing onto the roof just to see him.

Even many British ladies lifted up their skirts, revealing "I love you" clearly written on their underwear.

Wang Baoxian was invited to sing this song during an interview on a British TV station. The reporter asked him if the song was a pre-determined performance, and he said:
"No, it's from happiness, you know, the songs just come out of your mouth."

For a time, this song, which was born during the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, once again became popular all over the world.

"Congratulations, congratulations, congratulations, congratulations, congratulations, congratulations..."

Even though she had just arrived in Nanyang less than three months ago, Natasha had already learned this cheerful song, and whenever she hummed the cheerful tune, her whole mood would become cheerful.

She has been in Nanyang for more than two months, and in a week she will usher in the most important moment of her life - getting married!
Seven days later would be her wedding day to Zheng Xingying, and she would become his wife.

“It’s really great…”

Once again, I opened the sliding door of the balcony and looked at the community outside the balcony. The apartments here are taller and more spacious, and the living conditions and environment are more beautiful.

“It’s just an apartment…”

With the corners of his mouth slightly raised and his hands on the railing breathing in the fragrance of flowers and plants, a car stopped downstairs, and then Zheng Xingying got out and shouted.

"Natasha, the plane will arrive at the airport in an hour!"

"Okay, here I come!"

Go to the airport!
We went to pick up my mother and sister. Their family visit was approved.

Along the way, Natasha looked at herself in the makeup mirror from time to time, and then she would always ask.

"What do you think of me, honey? Am I pretty?"

"very beautiful."

"Honey, does my dress look good?"

Natasha asked again. She was fascinated by Han skirts. There were so many different styles of Han skirts that she was dazzled by them. She had never thought that she could wear beautiful skirts all the time. Today she was wearing a horse-faced skirt.

"very beautiful."

When Zheng Xingying turned his head to look at his lover while driving, the sunlight shone on her golden hair, emitting a golden luster. For a moment, he was even a little stunned.

Natasha smiled with satisfaction at her lover's gaze, and then she started singing along with the song on the radio.

Although her Chinese is a little stiff, she is trying hard to fit in.

Soon, the two of them arrived at the airport. While they were waiting in the waiting room, a C717 that took off from Singapore had already landed at the airport. Tonya, carrying a suitcase, took her daughter and son to the customs channel with the other passengers. The person walking in front of them was a black man. The black man with glasses, like them, boarded the plane in Singapore. When they arrived at the customs window, he handed over his entry form and passport.

"Welcome..."

The welcoming words came to an abrupt end. The customs officer frowned and took a look at the other party's British passport. Although not all Commonwealth members have visa-free travel, there is a visa-free policy between the UK and Southeast Asia.

The customs officer's expression became stiff and he kept staring at him without saying a word.

"Sir, what is your purpose in coming to Nanyang?"

"I'm here to do business."

"How long do you plan to stay?"

"About 15 days?"

"Have you booked a return flight?"

"What? What return ticket?"

As soon as the other party finished speaking, the customs officer said.

"I suspect you have the intention of staying here illegally. I will deny you entry for life."

"Sir, what did you say? You are discriminating..."

While the black man was shouting, several policemen came over from the other side. They surrounded him while shouting in English. Before Tonya and her group could figure out what was going on, the guy was thrown to the ground, his knees pressed against his neck, his arms were handcuffed behind his back, and he was firmly controlled.

"Sir, please calm down. You are now arrested for disturbing public order. You have the right to hire a lawyer..."

Although she didn't know what happened, Tonya was still shocked. As for Sergei and Maria, they looked at the customs channel nervously.

How is this going?

Finally, she walked to the customs window nervously. The customs officer, who had a serious expression on his face, raised the corners of his lips and asked with a smile when he saw Tonya.

"Can you please show me your passport and entry slip?"

"what?"

Although Tonya, who could not understand English, looked completely confused, the other party patiently called for a Russian translator after looking at her passport.

We quickly helped them pass customs.

Even when he walked out of the customs, Sergei, who was only 16 years old, was still confused. "Why is this happening?"

"Yeah, they were pretty rough with that black guy."

“But he was very patient with us.”

"Why is this?"

Just when the brother and sister were confused, suddenly, a surprised shout came from the front.

"Mom, Maria, Sergey!"

It's Natasha!

Amidst the shouts of joy, the family finally hugged each other.

For them, everything that happened before was just an episode. Soon, they got into the car. Sergei, who was sitting in the passenger seat, looked around and even asked with some confusion.

“Is this really your car?”

"I borrowed it from a classmate. I haven't decided what car to buy yet, so I'm currently looking for one."

“Can ordinary people buy cars?”

To Sergey, it was incredible that ordinary people could buy cars.

"This is Nanyang, Sergei."

Natasha explained.

"It's not just the government that can buy cars. There are also countless things in the department stores and supermarkets here, including clothes and food. In short, as long as you have money, you can buy a lot of things."

"Can I buy a skirt like this casually?"

As expected, for women, their focus is always... beautiful dresses. The three mothers and daughters sitting in the back seat mostly discussed dresses, cosmetics and perfumes. As for Sergei, as a boy, he was more curious about the city. When he looked at the city outside the car window, his blue eyes inherited from his mother were full of surprise.

Everything here is really amazing.

Just like that, the car quickly drove into the community and stopped in front of the apartment. Tonya looked at the apartment in front of her and asked with some confusion.

"Natasha, is this your house?"

"This is my apartment. I am not married yet, so I can only live in an apartment. But after I get married, I can apply for a new house."

"Apply?"

Tonya was puzzled by her daughter's answer.

"Like we did in Moscow, right?"

"Almost. But all the applicants are for single-family homes, the kind with two floors for one family?"

After listening to her daughter's answer, Tonya fell silent. She knew that kind of house was something that only factory directors, managers and others could live in in Moscow.

Soon, they entered the apartment. The spacious and bright living room of about 15 or 16 square meters made Tonya and the others open their eyes wide in surprise.

“How can this living room be so spacious!”

Not only is the living room two or three times more spacious, but even the floor height is much higher - the height of the Khrushchev building is only 2.5 meters, while the height of the Nanyang apartment is 3.1 meters. The floor height of high-end apartments is generally between 3.5 meters and 4 meters.

"This is a three-bedroom apartment with only a living room and two bedrooms. It is usually used as a transitional house for newlyweds before moving into public housing, so the living room area is only about 16 square meters. If it is a four-bedroom or five-bedroom family apartment, the living room area will be larger. However, now such apartments are rented to single young people."

While Zheng Xingying was explaining, Tonya opened the door of a bedroom. The bedroom, which was at least sixteen square meters, looked extremely spacious. The large wooden bed was covered with a mat. The clean and tidy environment and the tall and spacious space made her compare it with the apartment in Moscow in her mind.

There is no harm without comparison. Just at this moment, she heard her son's cry.

"Mom, come and see, the bathroom here is so big!"

Sergei stretched out his arms, stood in the bathroom which was at least two meters wide, looked at his sister with a smile on his face and asked.

"Natasha, how come you have such a big bathroom? Are you going to dance here?"

This incoherent sentence made Natasha blush, and Zheng Xingying also felt a little uncomfortable.

In fact, for Tonya and the others, these things that the people in Southeast Asia have long been accustomed to are extremely rare in their eyes. Even the "Khrushchev buildings" that the Soviet Union is currently building not only strictly control the area of ​​the rooms, but also the areas of its kitchens, bathrooms, foyers and corridors are all made as narrow as possible. The bathroom can even barely accommodate one person.

When they had lunch at a nearby buffet restaurant, their eyes were filled with surprise and wonder as they looked at the abundant food in the restaurant. The light softly sprinkled on the dazzling array of food, and the abundance of food made people wonder whether all this was real or fake. The barbecue area not far away was filled with smoke and aroma. The golden steaks were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the sizzling sound revealed an attractive meaty aroma that made people swallow their saliva.

Standing there, the emotions surging in Tonya's heart were difficult to express in words, and there was only incredible shock in her heart.

"Everything here is free to eat, right?"

Tonya said in disbelief.

At this moment, her mood was complicated... Looking at the food in front of her, there was only one thought left in her mind - is this true?
Just at this moment, the young Sergei was already drooling. He picked up the steak from the plate and even took a bite. When he felt the tenderness of the steak, he was surprised.

"Mom, this is really good beef!"

He grinned and said excitedly.

"Sister, this can't be heaven, there is so much food here."
