With a Door In Mind

It is estimated that I am not used to it, and I woke up several times at night.

One time in the middle he heard a movement outside, and it was Lao He who got up to add firewood to the fireplace.

the next morning.

At six or seven o'clock, the sound of the radio came from outside, and there was a break in Russian.

After a while, the music started playing.

Can't understand! But the melody is impassioned.

"Xiaoshan, it's time for you to get up and eat."

The voice of Lao He's wife came from outside the house.

Zhou Xiaochuan was already dressed and stood beside him.

He Mingshan smiled while putting on his clothes: "The old lady likes to listen to the radio in the morning, and listens to it every morning."

"Well, not bad, very good! How much do you live here for a month?"

"Oh, 12 rubles a month."

Zhou Xiaochuan nodded when he heard the words, the price is not expensive, after all, there are three people working at home now.

After the two came out, everyone else got up.

Eating breakfast at the long dining table.

The old lady was sitting where she was sitting, drinking soup and eating loaves of bread.

He Mingshan sat down directly, picked up his rice bowl and ate.

Lao He held a steamed bun and smiled at him: "Sit down and eat!"

Then, seeing the suspicious eyes of the old lady, she said with a gibberish smile.

The old lady smiled and said something to her.

But he didn't understand.

Lao He smiled, "The old lady asked you to eat."

Zhou Xiaochuan thanked him and sat down.

White buns and a soup.

The soup is a bit weird, kind of like borsch with beets, potatoes, onions, ham in it.

Look at that pink sticky soup base.

It should be tomato paste and starch.

Seeing this, Lao He smiled and said, "The old lady likes to drink red soup, so we don't think it's too much trouble to make two kinds of soup. You can try it. I'm not used to it at first, but after a long time, I can barely drink it. Are you used to it? eat this."

After speaking, he pushed a plate of fried sauerkraut next to him.

Zhou Xiaochuan took a sip, and it felt okay, no different from borscht.

Then he smiled, "It's okay, I'm used to drinking!"

Zhou Mingshan, who was next to him, didn't drink it, he took the steamed bun and broke it open, with a little pickled cabbage in it.

He ate in a big mouthful.

While eating, he said, "Anyway, I'm not used to eating, so I don't feel sour."

After taking a bite, I felt a little choking, so I took a sip from the water glass next to it.

Several people listened to music and ate dinner.

Lao He was eating and looked at him: "What will you do behind you? Will your family come to find you?"

Zhou Xiaochuan was eating steamed buns and drinking soup.

After thinking for a while, "I don't know. It may take some time before they can come over! I've been walking around the city recently, let's see if I can meet you!"

Lao He heard the words and nodded, "Now that's the only way to go."

After he finished speaking, he looked at his daughter next to him.

"What's the matter with you? Usually when you come back, you're always chattering, but you weren't very happy when you came back yesterday!"

"How can it be possible? Do I have to blow up all day and night?"

Hearing that, Lao He rolled his eyes, "Nonsense, I don't know what kind of virtue you have?"

It was He Mingyue's rolling eyes that answered him.

Seeing that his daughter didn't want to say anything, he didn't ask any more. If there was really something, she would definitely say it.

After eating, Lao He said to Zhou Xiaochuan: "Xiaoshan is fine today, and staying at home is boring. Let him take you around and see if he can find your family."

Zhou Xiaochuan nodded when he heard the words.

Lao He left with his daughter.

He Mingshan looked at Zhou Xiaochuan and patted him, "Let's go! I'll take you to meet the world."

This old-fashioned look is quite funny.

The two went out of the room, only at this time did Zhou Xiaochuan see the faces nearby.

There are quite a few houses like this around, but they are all far apart, at least 100 meters away.

And there are many big forests in the distance.

It's just because the snow is covered, I can't see the specific appearance, but the scale is not small.

Walking on the road, Zhou Xiaochuan shrank his body, always feeling that the temperature was too low.

Seeing this, He Mingshan smiled, "You can't do it, this stuff is useless! When you have money, you can buy a coat like this. In fact, those furs are the best."

As he spoke, he patted his slightly old woolen coat.

Zhou Xiaochuan took a look and found that there was also a cashmere liner inside.

"how much is this?"

"Oh. This 135 is rubles!"

Zhou Xiaochuan nodded when he heard the words, and after a while he tried to find a way to get a set, and his feet and legs also felt very cold.

The temperature is really too low.

On the way, the two chatted.

He Mingshan has been complaining about being frozen when he first came.

In the first month, only a few people saved enough money for one piece of clothing, which is this woolen coat.

The family has accumulated half a year for everyone's clothes.

And don't buy it.

If you don't buy it, you will freeze to death!

"Before there were no thick clothes at that time, when we went to work, we all ran away. When we were in the store, we didn't dare to come out. We didn't come back until we got off work."

Zhou Xiaochuan nodded when he heard the words.

After thinking of something, he asked him, "Is there a place to exchange gold? I have a piece in my hand, and I want to exchange it."

He Mingshan was surprised when he heard the words, "Oh, you still brought that thing! It's amazing. Your family used to be a wealthy family!"

Zhou Xiaochuan smiled and did not answer.

"Yes, looking at you, you don't look like a farmer!"

Seeing his expression, He Mingshan didn't ask any further, and then said, "Yes, it can be exchanged in the bank! You can go directly. It's just that the gold on our side is not particularly pure, and the price may not be as much as you think."

"It's okay, at least you have to survive first!"

He Mingshan nodded.

The two walked and chatted and came to the previous town.

This time is not like night.

Many people, dressed in various styles and colors, walked the streets.

There is no old man who is getting fat and fat as he imagined.

Overall, the proportion of fat people is still very small, and some are also elderly women and uncles.

The stores are basically open.

And to Zhou Xiaochuan's surprise, he also saw some people who set up stalls.

There is a woman selling clothes, shoes and hats.

There were dried fruit sellers, Zhou Xiaochuan glanced at them, but he didn't know any of them except raisins.

Some sell balloons, some sell books.

And actually let him see an ice cream seller, the important thing is that someone actually buys it.

Zhou Xiaochuan watched the other party take a sip, and he shivered instantly.

What weather is this! Also eat ice cream.

The scene in front of him reminded him of the domestic stall economy scene in the 1990s.

And He Mingshan also looked east and west with a curious expression on his face.

Zhou Xiaochuan saw the other party's words, "You've been here for so long, and you haven't seen enough yet? Just like you, you even said to show me the world!"

He Mingshan touched his head a little embarrassedly when he heard this.

"Because I don't have money, my mother usually doesn't let me go out. I don't have time to come out at work. I only come here once in a while!"

Zhou Xiaochuan nodded when he heard the words, this is the same mentality as going to the market in later generations.

The two wandered to the bank, a vaulted spire-like building.

Zhou Xiaochuan looked at it and hesitated for a while, "Can I just go in and exchange like this?"

He Mingshan understood what he meant, "It doesn't matter, they will exchange it no matter who comes over, but..."

After he finished speaking, he looked at a few young people squatting and smoking beside him.

Then he whispered: "I'm afraid these people will follow when the time comes."

Zhou Xiaochuan understood.

"Okay, let's go in then! Talk to me later!"

He Mingshan nodded, "OK, let's go!"

Then the two walked in.

When I entered the house, some people were doing business, but there were not many.

He Mingshan looked around and asked a middle-aged man like a security guard.

The other person points to a window.

He Mingshan nodded and said a word, and then gestured to Zhou Xiaochuan.

Zhou Xiaochuan followed him to a window.

This is a blond beauty in her thirties.

He Mingshan chatted with the other party a little hesitantly, then turned his head over, "She said it. An ounce is 35 dollars."

Zhou Xiaochuan did some calculations in his head, and it came down to about 1 yuan and 20 cents per gram.

Then he took out a paper bag from the bag, which contained two large yellow croakers.

Pass things over.

After the other party opened it, He Mingshan was surprised, "So many?"

Zhou Xiaochuan smiled and did not speak.

When the other party heard the words, he no longer asked.

Although the waiter was also surprised for a while, he still took it to him and cut it open and calcined it.

Half an hour later, the other party weighed it.

Then he spoke to the two of them.

Seeing this, Zhou Xiaochuan looked at He Mingshan.

He Mingshan explained to him, "She said a total of 21.34 ounces. It can be exchanged for 746.9 US dollars. If you want rubles, it will be 463.9 rubles."

"Tell him to change to rubles!"

After Zhou Xiaochuan finished speaking, he sighed inwardly, this thing is so cheap!

1 ruble for 1.6 US dollars, 1 US dollar for RMB 2.418 yuan.

That is 1 ruble for 3.94RMB.

And he undercounted about 26 grams.

But he didn't have the idea of ​​taking any money to exchange it, so let's keep some gold for the country!

He Mingshan nodded and said a few words to the waiter.

Wen Yan took out 463 rubles and gave 90 kopecks of change.

After Zhou Xiaochuan collected the money, the two walked out of the bank.

When they came out, the two looked at the young man who was staying before. The other party just glanced at them and didn't care too much about them.

Zhou Xiaochuan was speechless when he saw this.

This means that even the robbers are not interested in the money!

After walking for a while, Zhou Xiaochuan took out 50 yuan from his hand and handed it to him.

He Mingshan was surprised when he saw this, "What do you mean?"

"Tap! A tenth of a tap."

He Mingshan was speechless for a while after hearing the words, "Okay, keep it for yourself! We don't like this."

After saying that, go forward.

Zhou Xiaochuan smiled when he heard the words, and then collected the money.

The two were strolling by the side of the road, and he stopped before a fur shop.

He smiled at He Mingshan next to him and said, "Buy some clothes first! It's too cold."

He Mingshan nodded.

The two then entered the store.

There is heating in the room, very warm, like an air conditioner.

There is a middle-aged Russian couple, both of whom eat a lot of fat and have trouble walking.

Seeing two people coming in, the other party didn't stand up to pick up the guests.

Eating chocolate by herself.

There were also two guests in the room, watching things on their own.

Zhou Xiaochuan glanced at it, and there were clearly marked prices on it, ranging from a few dozen yuan to two thousand yuan.

But more than 200 yuan that is fur.

Especially the 2000 ruble bearskin coat looks really nice.

But the price is really good, 1 ruble is exchanged for RMB3.94, which means that this thing costs 7880RMB.

The 23-year salary of ordinary domestic workers is too scary.

The key is that no one wants RMB here!

Zhou Xiaochuan looked at the money in his pocket, thinking about it, forget it. After he gets the money in two days, he will change into a good outfit.

A set of woolen coats with lapel collar and cashmere. 157 rubles.

A pair of trousers with the same fleece, 118 rubles.

A pair of fleece boots, 179 rubles.

After he tried on the clothes and calculated the money, he suddenly couldn't help but smile bitterly.

448 rubles.

If you buy this, you will have 15 yuan and 9 cents left.

How long.

He has never felt the taste of lack of money.

Mother, I bought a set of middle and low-end clothes for a pound and a half of gold. It's not the best quality yet!

No, I have to figure out a way to get money quickly.

Under the leadership of He Mingshan, he paid the money, and then changed his clothes directly.

Not to mention, this thing is really warm!

But it was still a little interesting. Then he saw the cashmere sweater hanging on the wall, and he realized that he was missing a cashmere sweater.

But at this time he had no money in his pocket.

The boss was only surprised when he saw Zhou Xiaochuan's face.

Didn't care too much either.

After paying the money and walking out, Zhou Xiaochuan asked strangely, "I don't think the people here are so strange to me!"

He Mingshan smiled when he heard the words, "It's normal, a lot of people have fled here. Most of them went mining. A few people found jobs like us here. So it's not too unusual. ."

Zhou Xiaochuan nodded when he heard the words.

Passing by the ice cream stand, he looked at He Mingshan several times.

He just walked over.

Seeing that it says 3.5, I think it is 3.5 rubles.

The ice cream seller is a young man in his twenties.

Zhou Xiaochuan gestured at him and handed him another 10 rubles.

The other party took the money and nodded to him.

Seeing this, He Mingshan hurriedly said, "What ice cream are you eating on such a cold day! And it's so expensive."

Zhou Xiaochuan smiled when he saw this, "It's such a cold day, I haven't eaten it before, try it!"

During the conversation, the other party had already made two and handed them over.

Zhou Xiaochuan was surprised for a while, this thing moved so scooped.

Then I touched the cart.

good guy.

hot.

Feelings are ice on the top and warm on the bottom.

After taking the things and change, he handed one to He Mingshan, UU reading www.uukanshu. com then took a bite of himself.

It's cold, and it's cold.

I was sick with my brain, and then I remembered eating ice cream at minus 30 degrees.

But it tastes good.

It's very sweet.

He Mingshan next to him is like eating hot tofu, take a bite, and take a breath.

But still very happy.

As the two walked, He Mingshan told him about the situation here.

When the tour was about to eat lunch, the two were ready to go back.

At this time, he also knew a little bit about it.

Next is to get some money quickly.
