Chapter 184 Businessman

The heavy door was knocked by Chen Yongqing. Perhaps this door hadn't experienced such a violent knock in a long time, and the dust on it made Chen Yongqing feel a little difficult to breathe.

"Aren't you at home?" Chen Xuehui stood aside and said, covering her nose.

"Kavsky, Kavsky! Old Ka, Old Ka!" Chen Yongqing shouted loudly in Russian at the beginning, but later he couldn't help but use Chinese to call him his nickname when he was in China.

"Old Chen, let's come back later?" Wang Xiaoming said. He knew that people must be there, but if you drink too much, how can you wake up?

"No, I won't go back, I'll wait here." Chen Yongqing had the best relationship with Kavsky in the past. He was his assistant at the time. He learned a lot with Kavsky. After he left, he became a technician in the factory, which also changed his life. But later he was influenced by Kavsky in the 1960s, but Chen Yongqing had no regrets. Now everything has become a passing cloud. Is his old friend who is both a teacher and a friend alive?

"Kavsky, I brought wine here, open the door quickly, it's the authentic Beijing Erguotou." Wang Xiaoming also shouted for Chen Yongqing. He didn't bring anything this time. Wang Xiaoming brought ten bottles of Beijing Erguotou. He knew very well that Russia loves wine.

Maybe it was because Wang Xiaoming kicked a few times, or maybe it was because he talked about wine, and there was finally some noise in the room. Soon the door was opened, and an old man with a disheveled face, a scent of smoke and a mixture of wine appeared.

Wang Xiaoming and Chen Yongqing were better, but Chen Xuehui took several steps back before she got angry.

"Who are you?" Kavsky saw three Chinese people standing at the door. Yes, he was sure that they were Chinese, because he seemed to have heard someone speak Chinese in a daze just now, so he asked in Chinese, thinking that he taught some Chinese young men around him to speak Russian, and he also learned some simple Chinese.

"Kavsky, Lao Ka, me, Xiao Chen, your assistant Xiao Chen." Chen Yongqing grabbed Kavsky's hand and said excitedly.

"My assistant? I haven't had an assistant for more than ten years." Kavsky said that after the Soviet Union experienced the glory of the 1970s and 1980s, heavy industry was unparalleled in the world, and even the United States was ranked second. However, the tension in life material has made this red giant firm, especially in recent years, people's lives have become the biggest problem in the whole society.

"I am Xiao Chen, China's Xiao Chen, the tractor factory in H Province C City. You were the chief engineer at that time. Do you remember?" Chen Yongqing knew that his Chinese level was average, so he said to him in Russian.

"Are you Xiao Chen? That young man was now white in his ears." Kavsky's turbid eyes suddenly brightened. What a long memory. At that time, he brought several people from the Mechanical Design Bureau to China to help the Chinese people establish their own tractor factory, enjoy the treatment of foreign experts in life, eat bread and drink milk, and even in the most difficult years of the Chinese people, try to ensure that they are supplying them. And when they go out, they will be respected by the people wherever they go. That feeling is very good.

"Yes, you are the same." Chen Yongqing was filled with emotion. Seeing Kavsky's situation, his nose couldn't help but feel sore. He immediately thought of himself in the mid-1960s. This was all fate.

"Come in quickly. Although my place is messy, at least there is a place for you to sit in." Kavsky looked at his home and felt embarrassed. Since he was unemployed, he has been living by alcohol all day long, drinking and dreaming of drinking every day. If his wife hadn't done odd jobs outside, he might have starved to death.

But the only thing that is messy is Kavsky's bedroom. The small living room is still clean and shiny. Although there is not much furniture and it is very old-fashioned, it is clean and completely incomparable to the door and Kavsky's image.

"I know you like drinking, so I brought you a few bottles of Erguotou." Chen Yongqing took the wine from Wang Xiaoming's hand and handed it to him.

In fact, since he saw them, Kavsky never left the bottles in Wang Xiaoming's hands. The only thing he did every day over the years was to drink, drink and drink. Of course, with his income, he couldn't afford good wine. He hadn't tasted Russian vodka for several years. Now he drinks the worst-quality wine made of alcohol and water. Such wine has seriously affected his health.

"This is good wine." As soon as Kavsky received his hand, he skillfully opened a bottle, raised his neck, and then took off his stomach after half a bottle. This is a pound of filling!

"You are still so drunk, but the years don't allow us to forgive us. We are all older, drinking too much will hurt our health." Chen Yongqing advised.

"For us Russians, drinking is like you drink water. How can you not drink water for a day?" Kavsky laughed. After drinking, he looked very energetic and much more energetic.

"I heard that your situation has not been very good over the years, your life is still fine, right?" Chen Yongqing asked. In fact, his words were in vain. Krafts was basically a guy who was extremely serious about work. Although he was good at drinking by nature, it never affected his work. But now he looked like he was completely relying on drinking to live.

"You have seen all my life now. Every day, you can't do anything else except drinking or sleeping?" Kavsky said.

"What about the other experts?" Chen Yongqing asked. There were more than a dozen Soviet experts in the H-School Tractor Factory. He and they worked in the same office every day. Although that time was hard, they were happy and fulfilling.

"Some are gone anymore. Even if they are still alive, they are similar to me. But you, I think your life is good and clean. You should be at home, right?" Kavsky said sadly. When he was in China, he was a guest of honor and his living treatment was much better than them, but now he is in a down-and-out situation, their lives have surpassed him. Is the Soviet Union so hopeless?

"I didn't expect that your life is so hard now. If there is anything I can help me, I can raise it." Chen Yongqing said. He really couldn't bear to let these experts and scholars who were so glorious back then live such a life. Although his ability was limited, if he could raise them, he might get them out of the predicament.

"If you can give me more wine, it will be the greatest help to me." Kavsky smiled bitterly. He had lost confidence in life. Although he is alive now, he is just a walking corpse. Once a person loses the goal and hope of life, he lives just because he does not have the courage to commit suicide.

"This is not possible. You can't continue to sink like this. We came to Moscow this time and brought some clothes. Would you like to be a businessman?" Chen Yongqing said. It is better to teach people how to fish than to teach people how to fish. It is much more reasonable to find a way to make money for Kavsky than to give him money directly.

"You are a businessman now?" Kavsky said in surprise. He heard that in China's reform and opening up now, everyone is doing business, and the whole of China is a big market. But he didn't expect that pure technicians like Chen Yongqing also participated. This is incredible.

"I'm not a businessman. I'm just thinking about whether I can meet you this time. Now, it's up to everyone's wishes. It's great that I can see you again in my lifetime." Chen Yongqing said quickly.

"Then do you think I'm a businessman?" Kavsky was always in a daze today, but he suddenly straightened his back and looked at Chen Yongqing with a sarcastic look. He was a proud Russian. Although he was poor, he disdained to pursue the interests of merchants. This was the last dignity of knowledge.

"Of course I don't mean that, but if that's the case, I think your living conditions will be better." Although Chen Yongqing is already over 60 years old, in front of Kafsky, he is still like the young man he used to be. At this moment, he is stared at by Kafsky, like a child who has done something wrong, feeling guilty.

"You will not be a businessman, and you will almost be like a man." A voice suddenly came from the door. The door had been opened. A Russian woman wearing a headscarf came in. She might be in her fifties, tall and strong. If Kafsky stood beside her, she might be half her old.

"This is my wife, Chenoniva. Dear, these are friends from China, and this is my colleague when I worked in China, Xiao Chen." Kafsky introduced to them that it was difficult for the Soviets to remember the names of Chinese people, just as it was difficult for the Chinese people to remember the names of foreigners.

Chenoniva works in a factory. At noon, she came back to cook, to take care of Kavsky. Otherwise, if no one cooked for him, Kavsky would have to have a meal, and she would save some money when she came back to eat. But today, guests came, hospitality is a tradition of the Russian people. Although there is nothing to eat at home, Chenoniva is still planning to use the only piece of meat to cook a pot of broth and top it with bread, which is their most luxurious meal now.

Although Chen Yongqing proposed to invite them to the restaurant outside, Chenoniva refused. If she went out to eat, it would trample on her dignity. She would give her all the grip and let the guests have a meal at home.

Bread and broth were not in line with Wang Xiaoming and the others' appetite, but the host's hospitality forced them to sit down. However, at night, Chen Yongqing took Wang Xiaoming to Kavsky's house again. This time he did not bring wine. Apart from two boxes of potato chips, there were only ten down jackets.
