Chapter 1806 This is a Snow Sculpture
More than a month later, an Il-76 landed on Alexandria Island. After the plane stopped, a group of people led by Moiseyev got off the plane.
"Where is Xiao?" The first thing Moiseyev asked after getting off the plane was Xiao Peng.
The officer in charge of reception coughed twice and said, "He's making a snowman over there."
Moiseyev suspected he had misheard. "What is he doing? Building a snowman?"
The officer nodded and said, "Yes."
Moiseyev scratched his head. "How bored does he have to be to build a snowman here?"
A southerner might be thrilled by the sight of snow, but a person from Northeast China might balk at the sight of heavy snow. The Arctic lacks everything except snow, so why would someone come here and build a snowman? This is beyond the realm of mere boredom!
Moiseyev came out next and said dissatisfiedly, "Didn't we tell you to keep him company and not let him get too bored when we left?"
The officer in charge of reception smiled bitterly and said, "Commander Moiseyev, we have such a small place here, and he's been trapped here for over a month. How could he not have any complaints?"
Moiseyev said helplessly, "Isn't there a storm right now? How are we supposed to get here if the plane can't land? We'll come as soon as the storm stops. Arrange for someone to take the comrades from the Ministry of Energy back home to rest. Where is Xiao building a snowman? Take me there!"
"I'll take you there!" said the officer in charge of reception.
The place where Xiao Peng made the snowman was right next to the main building. Moiseyev saw Xiao Peng lying on the snow pile with his butt sticking up from a distance.
"You call this a snowman?" Moiseyev asked the receptionist.
The reception officer didn't know what to say.
It really shouldn't be called a snowman, but a snow sculpture - Xiao Peng built a Kremlin.
Well, this also shows how bored Xiao Peng is.
The car stopped and Moiseyev got out of the driveway: "Xiao!"
Xiao Peng was lying on a pile of snow. After hearing Moiseyev's call, he turned around and waved. As a result, he lost his balance and fell off the snow pile.
"Commander Moiseyev, when did you return?"
Moiseyev said, "I've told you many times, call me Moiseyev, or Alexander if you like."
Xiao Peng stood up, brushed off the snow, and said, "Moiseyev, do you see how bored I am? You've been gone for over a month!"
Moiseyev smiled bitterly and said, "There's nothing we can do. The weather has been so bad these days! The plane can't come back."
Xiao Peng said helplessly, "You left me here alone with just one sentence: the weather is too bad. You should at least consider my feelings, right? Where's Commander Yevmenov?"
Moiseyev said, "He's currently discussing cooperation with your country's 'observation group' and people from China. I've brought people from the Ministry of Energy with me this time. Shall we discuss this when we get back? Aren't you cold?"
Xiao Peng adjusted his hat and said, "I can't stay in there for another minute. I'm so bored here now that you've all left! I can't even find anyone to play with."
"That's how it is in the Arctic," Moiseyev said. "When I left, I told them to open the satellite network for you, didn't I? You can surf the internet now!"
Xiao Peng shook his head. "Why go online? The internet these days is just like a game I used to play as a kid, 'Spot the Differences.' No matter what happens, they'll always put themselves on a moral high ground and start pointing fingers. Aren't I tired of dealing with people like that online? Besides..."
"And?" Moiseyev didn't know what Xiao Peng was going to say.
Xiao Peng continued, "Have you ever seen a successful man who spends all day on his phone or computer? It's ridiculous that there are still so many young women trying to find a rich husband through social media. Don't they know that birds of a feather flock together? They only meet people like them who are daydreaming, glued to their phones and computers all day long."
Moiseyev laughed heartily after hearing this. "Indeed, the situations you describe also exist in our country. While you're in there, can you talk more with our soldiers? What do you think of our Sambo competitions?"
The "Shamrock" base also offers a variety of cultural and sports activities: basketball courts, billiard rooms, bars, etc. They also hold sambo wrestling competitions when they have nothing to do.
Xiao Peng shook his head and said, "I don't like bullying people!"
Moiseyev pointed at the driveway. "Let's go back first. I heard the female soldiers here like you, didn't they?"
It would have been better if he hadn't said this. After he said this, he saw Xiao Peng stopped and stood there, looking at him with a depressed look on his face.
"Is there anything wrong with what I said?" Moiseyev asked curiously.
Xiao Peng's expression was uglier than tears. "It would be fine if you didn't mention this, but now that you've brought it up, I have to tell you this: You have such a large base, but there are only nine female soldiers in total, six of whom are older than my mother. The remaining three are even stronger than Kashin! Do you think I can stomach this?"
Moiseyev laughed after hearing this: "Xiao, as far as I know, the girls who accompanied you when you were in Texas were as strong as calves."
When Xiao Peng heard this, his face was filled with black lines.
"Hey! Even if they are strong, their looks are still there. Look at these people here, I feel like it would be a shame to myself if I had any relationship beyond friendship with them!" Xiao Peng complained.
Moiseyev smiled wickedly and said, "That's because you haven't discovered the magic of vodka yet. Why do we Russians like vodka? Believe me, when you drink enough vodka, you will find out - wow, they are all muses! They are all Venus! They are all..."
Xiao Peng waved his hand to interrupt Moiseyev: "Stop, Moiseyev, you are the commander of the Northern Fleet, don't act like an old gangster."
Moiseyev opened the car door. "Even though I'm older, I'm still a man. What's wrong with that?"
What could Xiao Peng say? He was about to get in the car when he suddenly froze in his tracks. He looked at Moiseyev and asked, "Did you do this on purpose?"
"Hmm?" Moiseyev looked at Xiao Peng and said with a smile, "What does this mean?"
Xiao Peng said, "I mean, there are so few female soldiers here, and they are all middle-aged women. Is this your intentional arrangement?"
Moiseyev laughed after hearing this: "Xiao, you are really smart."
"Why?" Xiao Peng asked puzzledly after getting in the car.
Moiseyev got in the car and closed the door. "Nothing much," he said. "Just learning from our neighbors on the other side of the world and drawing on their experience to avoid being like them. Drive, let's go back to base!"
