Siheyuan: The Rebirth of the Silly Pillar in the 50s

Zhengyangmen Bistro.

As soon as He Yuzhu and Boris walked in, Xu Huizhen greeted them warmly.

"Zhuzi, is this a new friend?"

He Yuzhu nodded and introduced: "This is the proprietress of the tavern, and this is Mr. Boris."

"Boris?!"

Vladimir turned around immediately when he heard the name, his blue eyes lighting up.

"Vlakielmi?!"

The two foreigners reunited after a long absence in the tavern and embraced each other warmly.

He Yuzhu and Xu Huizhen looked at each other with confused expressions.

"This is my old classmate! I haven't seen him for many years. I didn't expect him to come to China."

Boris explained.

"I'm different from you. You came to China to support construction, right? I'd rather do some small business."

"There is no distinction between high and low professions, we all have a bright future!"

Two old acquaintances teased each other.

It seemed like they were quite familiar with each other when they were in school.

"Since old friends are reunited after a long absence, let's sit together. Boss lady, you are like the third child!"

He Yuzhu's words "boss lady" made Xu Huizhen feel quite unfamiliar.

But she didn't say anything and turned around to get food.

He Yuzhu's third dish is very simple, small tripe, beef and peanuts.

The Niulanshan Erguotou he drinks should be warm.

Xu Huizhen remembers it all.

Before the food and drinks were served, Boris said: "I didn't expect that the world is so small, and Zhuzi actually knows my old classmates!"

"There are so many wonders in the world!"

Vladimir burst out laughing.

"You don't know that Zhu Zhu is very popular in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. We will become colleagues in a short time!"

He Yuzhu continued: "Actually, Vladimir has contributed a lot here. If he hadn't taught me Russian before, I wouldn't have had this opportunity."

"We are helping each other, not helping each other."

After Vladimir finished speaking, he said seriously: "Will the cooperation between our Xiong Country and China be closer in the future? Is there anyone like me, a businessman, who can help?"

After he asked, both men were silent.

After all, it is really difficult to answer this confidential question about two countries.

He Yuzhu glanced at Boris.

Boris is relatively experienced in diplomatic work, and he knows what can and cannot be said.

He smiled and said: "Soon, there will be a cooperation meeting between our two countries. It has been published in this newspaper. As the translator for China, Zhuzi, if you really want to help, be Zhuzi's teacher again, Let’s teach him Russian again! Don’t make any more mistakes in simultaneous translation!”

The three laughed loudly.

Vladimir said: "I see, with Zhu Zhu's Russian proficiency, it's not my turn to teach. But if this cooperation succeeds, I believe it will be of great benefit to both our countries. Especially people like me Running between two places like this is probably an opportunity for me to make a fortune!"

"Foreign trade is bound to bring about an upward development trend. But the specific policy is not something we need to sit down and talk about."

He Yuzhu smiled.

Xu Huizhen came over to serve the dishes at this time, and greeted with a bright smile: "You are so engrossed in chatting that I'm afraid of disturbing you. But the pillars have been gone for a while, so I really can't help but come and say hello."

He Yuzhu smiled awkwardly.

He hasn't been to the tavern much since he entered college.

Mainly because of time constraints.

The choice to bring Boris to the tavern this time actually had another purpose.

But he didn't know how to speak.

"Why are you interrupting? Boss lady, please sit down and let's chat together. It's a rare opportunity like this!"

Vladimir did not see the clues in the scene and pulled Xu Huizhen to sit down together.

Xu Huizhen didn't deliberately talk to He Yuzhu after she sat down.

Chatting and laughing with two foreign friends, the scene was very lively.

He Yuzhu got up and went to the toilet. Just after shaking twice, there was a knock on the door outside the toilet.

"Zhuzi, come to the backyard later. I have something to tell you."

He Yuzhu nodded, and after realizing that Xu Huizhen couldn't see him, he replied "Yes."

Two people meet in the backyard.

Xu Huizhen stood a little far away from He Yuzhu, and the distance between the two was as if they had just met.

"I saw it."

Xu Huizhen said.

"what?"

He Yuzhu was confused.

"I saw you and a little girl holding hands."

"..."

He Yuzhu was silent for two seconds. He knew that there were some things he couldn't say.

"Yes. We are already in love, but she is still too young to get married. Sister Huizhen... I hope you can understand."

Xu Huizhen raised her head with a smile on her face.

She said: "We agreed at the beginning. I won't pester you. I am a divorced woman. I can't delay you. That little girl looks pretty good, you should cherish it. I hope you can grow old together. .”

"Thank you."

He Yuzhu smiled.

Xu Huizhen took a step forward.

The distance between the two people was shortened.

But both of them know that they are far apart from each other now.

Xu Huizhen took the initiative to hug He Yuzhu.

"I hope we can still be friends in the future. You are welcome to come to the tavern anytime you want. But we can only be friends."

"it is good."

He Yuzhu said lightly.

After the two people separated, He Yuzhu pursed his lips and said, "Then I'll go over first. Otherwise, they should become suspicious."

Xu Huizhen nodded.

When He Yuzhu turned around, she was still looking at him.

She smiled.

It’s also a relief from this relationship.

"It took you so long to go to the bathroom! Did you eat too much?"

Boris put his arm around He Yuzhu's shoulders. He looked like he had drunk too much.

"You're drunk, Mr. Boris!"

"What else can I drink if I don't get drunk?"

Boris tapped Vladimir's chest next to him again and said: "I remember that when we were in our hometown, we would never come home until we were drunk every night!"

“How old we were then and how old we are now.”

Vladimir smiled.

"Revolutionary warriors are forever young!"

Boris shouted slogans.

The three people suddenly burst into laughter.

Boris was indeed drunk, and the soles of his feet were shaking when he walked. When he walked out of the tavern, he pulled He Yuzhu and said: "I really hope that the friendship between our two countries is as solid as ours..."

"Most definitely."

He Yuzhu smiled.

"He's drunk. Let me take him back to my place. My place is bigger."

Vladimir suggested.

"Okay, sorry to trouble you."

"What's the trouble? Boris is my old friend too!"

"We are all friends! Friends forever!"

Boris's drunken words couldn't help but make He Yuzhu laugh.

He watched Vladimir hire a car to take Boris away, and then he cycled toward the compound with confidence.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw the big lights in the courtyard turned on, which made him feel a little strange.
