"You smoke, I print …" Manlylov bargained. "I owe Sergei more than 100 rubles. He sued me and the judge asked me to pay it back today …"
"Shit judge Manrielov, old buddy, you are too honest and kind. The judge is a judge in the Russian period and the law in the Russian period has experienced the Far East Republic. Now it is not China’s turn to rule. Do you think that it is China’s day? Does the judge still have jurisdiction over us in the Russian period? Do Russian laws still exist for us? "
"It’s only natural to pay back debts! No matter when! "
"Tell your in-laws to tell his son-in-law in China that there must be nothing but it. Now the ruble horse will be sold for nothing."
"What?"
"You think it’s China now. Of course, the ruble, the currency of China, will become a pile of waste paper, and an equal weight fish can’t be bought or sold!"
Mancolumn rove smoking a cigarette hesitated-what should I do or not? In the end, I decided to return it. "In any case, I think your honor should pay back as much money as he should."
Manlielov made up his mind, so he said goodbye to the old man with a broken arm and a white beard and continued to walk a little lonely.
"Remember, old buddy, now that you are a relative of China, don’t deny it … Sergei is not a good guy … let’s leave him alone!" The old man with a broken arm and a white beard shouted behind him
Manrielov walked out of the street crossing unhurriedly. He looked at his in-laws window and walked to the gate. His in-laws Suri Konov personally came out to meet him. Suri Konov was also an old man with freckles on his face, as if he had been washed with joy. Not only did he look clean, but he didn’t seem to have as many freckles as before.
"Have you heard about our happy family?" Suri Konov asked when shaking hands with her in-laws
"I heard from people that this is a great event. It’s something else for me to come to you for in-laws …"
"Wait, what’s the big deal! Please come into the house-welcome to our new son-in-law. We drank some wine for joy … My wife specially hid a bottle of royal wine for a special occasion. "
"No, you said I smelled it far away!" Suri Konov shook her nose and said with a smile.
Suri Konov knocked on the door to let his in-laws Manlev go ahead. As soon as Manlev stepped into the threshold, he immediately fixed his eyes on a China person. In addition, China people wore military uniforms and their rank was a rifle. "Look, this is our new son-in-law!" Suri Konov was almost excited to cry and shout.
It is not easy to find a young man these days, and it is even more difficult to find a young man who is an official.
"Well, young China people, please don’t let us down, Miss Dahlia. She is a good girl, and her daughter-in-law almost."
China people seem to be unable to understand. They nodded and said "k,k…" and then suddenly stood up and saluted. It turned out that Zhang Yiping and Wang Weigang also pushed the door and came in.
Mancolumn rove said, "This is a friend of mine in-laws! It’s a pity that I don’t have a daughter or find a relative in China. All the young guys here are almost dead. Of course, he will be fine except my little Manlev, "Manlev said selfishly.
"This, of course …" Suri Konov said that he saw Zhang Yiping’s epaulettes flashing almost like an officer.
The sergeant saluted Zhang Pingan and said, "Sir, please report that Sergeant Hu Changshan is on vacation …"
Zhang Yiping nodded and asked, "Hu Changshan, do you know that the Russians have recruited you as a son-in-law?"
Hu Changshan was shocked and said quickly, "This must be a misunderstanding. Suddenly, a beautiful girl came to hold my arm and invited me to his house for a drink. I came. I couldn’t understand what they said?"
"Translate Wang, please help me explain to these people that I can’t be their son-in-law," said Hu Changshan.
"Explain what?" Zhang Yiping asked, "Do you want to tell them that I want to have sex with your daughter and leave?"
The scholar paused and said, "I’m afraid so!"
Wang Weigang said, "I can’t say that. Why don’t you tell them yourself?"
"Don’t worry, let’s sleep the girl first!" Zhang Yiping suggested, "If this girl is beautiful, I will agree to be a Russian son-in-law here."
"I can’t. How can a daughter-in-law get married here if she has an engagement at home and hasn’t gone through the door?"
"Then let’s be temporary son-in-law here for a few days. There is nothing wrong with it. We are China people and winners. Winners always have some exceptions," Zhang Yiping said.
"There is a half-day holiday!" Hu Changshan said.
"Half a day is half a day, but when you have to grasp it! "Zhang Yiping said.
A Russian girl, Zhang Yiping and Wang Weigang, about seventeen years old, poured wine, but they kept looking at Hu Changshan with watery eyes and didn’t see that the wine had overflowed the glass.
"You lazy bitch! Thinking about young Han’s precious wine all day long, but you pour it out and spoil it! " Suri Konov scolded her and said
Zhang Yiping took the opportunity to say, "Don’t be too hard on them. They are all young people. They should be allowed to communicate freely. A girl with beautiful feelings should take your lover to the back to play!"
"Can you, sir?" Delia always wants Zhang Yiping but pays attention to her father. "But I approved you in the name of my lieutenant!" Zhang Yiping said.
"Great!" Dahlia exclaimed and pulled up Hu Changshan and ran out. Suri Konov couldn’t help it.
"I wish you a happy old man and a happy family!" Zhang Yiping raised his glass to Suri Konov and Manlev’s two in-laws and said.
Manlielov rolled his blue-white eyelashes and drank the wine in the pot-bellied cup with a trembling breath. He slowly slapped his lips and looked at the bottom of the cup-his head leaned back and poured the last drop of wine into his mouth full of black teeth before he reached out and grabbed a dried fish on the table and put it in his mouth, chewing it and swallowing it, narrowing his eyes for a long time.
An old woman came over and poured a second cup for Manlelov. Somehow Manlelov got ridiculously drunk at once.
Suri Konov stared at his in-laws with a smile, and his eyes suddenly squeezed into two thin seams and then turned black and asked, "Didn’t you say in-laws have something to do? What can I do for you? Go ahead and have another drink now-you’re going to get drunk. "
"Lend me some money!"! Help me, or I’ll lose the money … it’s going bankrupt, "Manlielov pleaded with the modesty of a drunk person."
Suri Konov interrupted him and asked, "How much?"
"One hundred tickets"
"What ticket? There are all kinds of tickets. "
"One hundred rubles"
"I wish I had said so earlier."
Suri Konov tossed in the cushion box for a while, took out a greasy handkerchief and unpacked it. He rustled ten rouble tickets and handed them to Manlev. "It is estimated that this ticket will be abolished soon. Now it is China. Who will cancel these tickets?"
"Thank you in-laws … you saved my life!"
"Well, thank you? It’s easy to settle accounts with one’s own family, "said Suri Konov, who made up his mind to give these undelivered tickets to this cunning and selfish in-laws and other new governments, and then ask him for them back in equal value, so as to reduce his losses.
Manlie rove left his in-laws and Zhang Yiping followed him to the yard. He saw Hu Changshan, a tall man, wearing a thin camouflage army plainclothes. His clothes were tilted in his hands and his military cap rushed out of the stable next to him. Looking through the open door, he could see that a half-naked woman was dressing in a hurry and another woman in a cotton-padded coat stood in front of her.
"I was hit by her sister when I went in! "Hu Changshan said in a hurry.
"Really not!" Zhang Yiping scolded, "How can you give up so easily?"
"But her elder sister …"
"What if her sister comes? I’ll do it with her sister!" Zhang Yiping said contemptuously, "It’s a shame for us in China to scare you into running away from the door!"
Wang Weigang waved and said, "Hurry up and finish your work. Don’t embarrass us in China. A bitch scared us out of the door … shame!"
"Well, let’s take care of them all," said Hu Changshan, holding her clothes and re-entering the stable.
A little drunk, Manrielov staggered around the village streets and hit himself on the front as if to show off his strong body not afraid of the cold.
"Just that wine is the Volga bar! There’s plenty of stamina, "Zhang Yiping said. He drank a little and felt it was too strong, so he didn’t taste it.
"Right? My face is a little feverish, too. I want to find a girl to hug me!" Wang Weigang said.
"What girl are you hugging on duty? There’s a mare there to hug, isn’t it?" Zhang Yiping scold a way
Wang Weigang, however, pulled the skirt and let the fire burn like a chest to accept the cold wind blowing from the wide Angara River.
When he came to the court, Manrielov presented all the tickets to the judge, but at this time Sergei changed his mind again. He said, "Your honor, at that moment, the situation has changed. Now, I’m afraid that one hundred rubles can’t even buy half a piece of bread, and the ruble has become a piece of waste paper … And when I lend him money, one hundred rubles can buy a fishing boat … In order to ensure the interests of my creditors … I ask Manrielov to change the payment method, at least something valuable .."
The old judge seemed to have colluded with Sergei and said, "That’s right, citizen Sergei. Do you have any good suggestions?"
