(There are still three days until it goes on sale!)
I walked through thousands of mountains and rivers, feeling anxious and anxious, heading towards the place in my dreams - Moscow. In fact, it was not as good as the legend said.
What a bumpy journey it has been!
I won’t go into detail about the journey there. In Bi Yue’s opinion, it’s not a trip abroad after all, so what if she suffers a little, especially when she just gets on the bus for the first time.
What the hell is afraid of continuous fighting!
The "continuous delivery" was too tiring. I barely even stood still in Moscow, and after selling out, I climbed back on the train. I regretted every trip.
well!
…
Let me talk about the journey back. During the first two days, I sat in a corner, chanting scriptures, keeping watch, and guarding against thieves.
I'm worried that there will be two foreign carriages on the train, and the foreigners will make a few moves and run away, and we won't be able to catch them even if we cry. What if someone is blind and spots them?!
During that period, Bi Yue was eager to see the foreigners get off the bus, but was also afraid that Erhu's compatriots would come and smash, loot and rob. Uncle Xu's story about "The Legend of Fei Ge" frightened her.
The brother and sister were obviously full of sunshine in their hearts, but now everyone looks like a little thief to them.
Finally, there is not much road left, and my heart and stomach feel warm.
The above is what Bi Yue was thinking about when the train slowed down.
Perhaps it was because she had been brewing too much emotion and had too many things on her mind, when Bi Yue heard the words on the radio:
"Dear passengers, the train is about to arrive at Harbin Station. Passengers getting off at Harbin Station, please prepare your luggage and get off the train. This train will soon depart for..."
The result of Bi Yue being too excited was that she stood up mechanically, lowered her head and tugged at her clothes, as if she was brushing off the "dust" in a numb performance.
Without looking at Bi Cheng, she followed Bi Cheng's footsteps and moved out of the dining car. Even when the uncle in the white hat asked her, "Are we at our stop?", Bi Yue did not answer.
There were too many people, and Bi Cheng didn't notice his sister's mood until he walked out of the Harbin exit and into the square in front of the train station, then he turned around.
When Bi Cheng was about to discuss with Bi Yue in a low voice where to exchange dollars for RMB, the young man finally realized that something was wrong.
"Sister?" Bi Cheng tucked a few empty plastic bags under his arm and pulled Bi Yue's arm. "Sister, what's wrong with you? Where does it hurt? Are you getting sick?"
Bi Yue couldn't resist Bi Cheng and had to look up.
Her eyes were red, she felt a little embarrassed and wanted to hold it back, but also a little like wanting to burst into tears. Her expression was very conflicted.
Bi Yue looked up at the big clock hanging above the train station, and tears finally fell.
When Bi Cheng was getting extremely anxious and was about to put his big hand on his sister's forehead, he heard Bi Yue say:
"Damn it, it's not easy!"
After saying this, Bi Yue became frank. She no longer felt embarrassed or ashamed to cry like before. She just looked at the big round clock seriously, sniffling as she cried.
In an instant, Bi Cheng understood.
He understands better than anyone else, and if he could, he would also want to cry.
Because they are very capable and dare to cross borders;
The excitement of being able to go home right now;
For the imagined scene... "Dad, Mom, you should also eat some meat, don't be reluctant!"
I landed in the Northeast, not far from home, and even safer. All kinds of feelings came to my mind.
The eighteen-year-old twin brother and sister, one with red eyes, looked around, not wanting to be discovered by his sister, while the other one had no worries, tears in her eyes, she stared at the clock and cried persistently. In fact, Bi Yue didn't see what time it was until she left.
…
In 1985, 1,072 rubles was equivalent to 1,166 US dollars, and 1,166 US dollars was equivalent to 3,500 RMB.
Bi Yue and Bi Cheng earned 1,100 rubles on this trip, and they had more than 3,500 yuan in US dollars hidden on them.
Seven hundred is the capital, and the round-trip fare needs to be doubled again. The rest is the net profit of the siblings.
If people knew that I could make a net profit of 2,000 yuan by spending 1,500 yuan, they would have to fly their shoes abroad and work hard to make money.
The purchasing power of two thousand yuan in 1985 was very strong. Although there were already "ten thousand yuan households" in that era, for ordinary people, two thousand yuan was unimaginable. I guess if anyone hid such money, they would not be able to sleep well, and their heart would feel hot when they touched the money.
I'm just afraid that others will get jealous if they find out, so no one will say anything.
People like them who have experience in "dumping" will not share.
All we can say is that the pursuit of high profits despite the high mountains and long distances is a gift and creation of such a "world wonder" by the times.
Naturally, Bi Yue and Bi Cheng also discussed it and decided to only tell their parents, grandfather and aunt, not even letting a single word out to their younger brother.
If anyone else asked, they would all say that they were working as tutors in Kyoto to earn money, which was why they were still starving.
Even if I tell my parents, I can't tell them in so much detail. Just tell them the general idea so that they won't worry about it.
If Bi Yue had followed her original thoughts, she would have wanted to lie to the end, since the letter was about her tutor anyway. But Bi Cheng persuaded her that if she didn't tell the truth, her parents might not believe her and her grandfather would not go to the hospital.
…
They got off the train at around six but not seven in the morning, and it was already eleven o'clock when Bi Cheng and Bi Yue got on the first bus.
Bi Yue wiped the sweat from her forehead. "What bank has this?" she asked. "She's just a little tattered and a little poorly searched, so why are they interrogating her like she's their grandson? And in a provincial capital? What kind of eyesight is this?"
Fortunately, thanks to her good lying skills, giving people bribes has become a daily routine for her recently!
If she had listened to her eldest brother and sat there to rest while he went to change, she and her brother would have been sitting in the cell together because of his clumsy talk.
It was too late to catch the first bus, but they couldn't just squat there and wait, so Bi Yue simply took Bi Cheng for a stroll. They didn't have time to take a closer look at the scenery of Harbin. All they kept asking about was where the things were sold.
In the past, Bi Cheng would have been furious. He was mad to be carrying so much money, even in a triple-layered plastic bag! But his mood was definitely different now.
The money has already been transferred across borders, so what should be done? Bi Cheng is now numb to the fact that he cannot tolerate people spending money recklessly and hiding money, and he is more careless than before.
Bi Yuedong looked around. She wanted to buy some new clothes for her family. She wanted to buy everything she saw, but... she didn't dare to buy anything expensive. With her family's financial situation, they were struggling to make ends meet. Buying clothes was not as good as buying rice and flour.
But she had to buy something for her little brother Bi Chen, right? Regardless, this was also her "first meeting" with Bi Chen...
What is missing from twelve-year-old Bi Chen?
Bi Yue didn't know, so she humbly asked Bi Cheng, who knew how to live, for advice.
"Sister, no matter how shabby our clothes are, if we spend money lavishly, we will be noticed." As he said this, Bi Cheng glanced around:
"Just food, buy something nice and fragrant, just one or two things, he's the greediest one in our family!"
We have arrived at the provincial capital, but we didn’t buy anything in the capital, so let’s change to the provincial capital. My younger brother is still a child, so let’s give him hope.
In the middle of the night, Bi Chen woke up bleary-eyed and ate the large roast chicken his older brothers and sisters had bought him, but it had no skin...
