Soviet Godfather

The second day of the Maslenitsa is the first day of happiness. This day is a day for unmarried men and women to date each other. It is equivalent to Valentine's Day in the West and Qixi Festival in China. After eating, he fell asleep until the afternoon, and was picked up from the bed by the ears of Petrov's father.

"The first day of Maslenitsa comes only once a year, and you plan to sleep drunk all day? Get the hell out of the house." Father Petrov snarled at Seryozha.

"Where can I go? Boris, Yakov, and Mikhail are all on blind dates. Do you want me to go to Yuri to practice boxing?" Seryozha retorted.

"You lazy, gluttonous, drunken drunkard, if you go on like this, no girl will like you. Here is this, Mikhail just brought it here. Get up, wash your face, and go trim your beard. "Peter Petrov said and handed Sereryosha a beautiful pink envelope. Seryozha opened it and saw that it read:

"To my dear————— Comrade (please fill in here)

Xie Liaosha looked at the bewildered expression on his face.

"Dress smartly at night. Wear formal clothes. You'd better bring a girl back. By the way, don't forget to trim your beard." Father Petrov instructed.

. . .

At six o'clock in the evening, Mikhail and Yakov came to pick up Seryozha in the GAZ 69.

"Yoyo, who is this? He's so handsome!" Mikhail whistled.

"Go away, I'm so sick, don't go to any balls, and find a place to have a drink with me later." Seryozha said to Mikhail.

"That can't be done, Boss, there are so many beauties there today, and I don't have time to accompany you." Mikhail rejected Seryozha's invitation.

"I'm not free either!" Yakov avoided Seryozha's gaze on him and flatly refused.

Seryozha and his party arrived at half past six, fully half an hour early, Mikhail went to buy tickets, and Seryozha followed Yakov in.

The dance hall of the Workers' Club is very spacious. There are some seats around the dance floor, some food and drinks are placed on the tables, and portraits of Brezhnev and Lenin hang high in the middle. There is also a big любовь (meaning love) hanging below it, which looks very funny, and Seryozha couldn't help laughing.

"What's the matter?" Mikhail just found Seryozha and Yakov at this time, and asked curiously when he saw Seryozha's unstoppable smile.

Seryozhara looked at Mikhail and Yakov, pointed to the portrait hanging in the middle and said, "Look, I thought they were on good terms." Mikhail and Yakov followed Seryozha Looking in the direction of his fingers, he instantly understood what Sergey meant, and they all burst out laughing.

At this time, there was a burst of pleasant laughter. A woman with a good figure in a red dance dress walked past them. Although she was just a back view, she was still very charming. She probably heard the words of Sergey and the others. While talking, although he kept moving forward, his shoulders were shaking uncontrollably, probably from laughing, but he didn't want to be rude in front of others and be seen by others.

The dance party started on time at seven o'clock in the evening, and the host said a few opening words casually at the beginning,

A joke was told, it was announced, and music rang out in the hall.

Yakov, Mikhail, and Sergey went shopping for a while, and it didn't take long for Yakov and Mikhail to fall in love with a girl. Both of them liked the plump type, and Sergey was the only one left. Alone, Seryozha was bored. He found a cup and wanted to drink something. He just took a sip of the wine and spit it back into the cup. The wine was too weak, so he grabbed some food and put it in his mouth. Seryozha poured a glass of orange water and tasted it, which was not bad. Then I strolled back and forth with a glass of orange water.

The group of people in the corner aroused Seryozha's interest. A few men surrounded a woman in red, talking about something interesting, which made the woman cover her mouth and burst out laughing. The men were even more excited. , continued to say something, the woman listened while talking and laughing, her legs were elegantly joined together, her back was straight, her plump breasts and tight abdomen made her look so charming, her fair skin, long hair On the neck, the flaxen hair is combed to the side, and the curly hair with big waves is scattered on the shoulders. Thin eyebrows, big eyes, long eyelashes, tall and slender nose bridge, bright red and moist lips, and a small mole at the corner of the mouth, the real person looks charming and full of temptation. The woman saw Seryozha looking at her, and she looked at Seryozha, with a charming smile on her face, and Seryozha, feeling a little uncomfortable, toasted her, turned and walked away.

Seryozha found Yakov, turned him aside, pointed to the corner and said, "Who is that guy?"

Yakov was having a hot fight with the beautiful woman. He took a hasty look, then turned around and said, "Little Konstantin, the son of Konstantin, the general secretary of the auto repair shop, is a playboy."

"No, someone asked you about the man. I'm talking about the woman." Seryozha turned Yakov around again. Yakov looked carefully and said, "Seryozha, can you tell me?" What a sight, that is a flower of the Gorky Automobile Plant, there is no boy in the Gorky Automobile Plant who does not fall in love with her, her name is Tonya-Ivanova. But..."

"But what?" Seeing Yakov hesitate to speak, Seryozha asked eagerly.

"She owes a lot of money to others. His grandfather was a White Russian nobleman who was killed during Stalin's era. His father was implicated and imprisoned in the Gulag. He suffered a lot until Heru Xiaofu was only released during Xiaofu's time, but unfortunately his health was broken, and he was sick when he came back. Their family spent a lot of money to see her father. When her father passed away, he had nothing but debts. They didn’t leave it to their mother and daughter. But Tonya is very upbeat. She has studied since she was a child. She was admitted to Nizhny Novgorod State University. I heard that she has graduated and started working. She works in Soviet Airlines and is on the plane. Stewardesses usually live in Moscow most of the time and don’t come back often,” Yakov said.

Seryozha nodded after listening. Although he was interested, he didn't know anyone. Seryozha walked around a few times, but he didn't hook up with a single woman. Kefu said hello and said he was leaving first. Yakov gave the car keys to Seryozha, and Yakov said that he and Mikhail would send their female companions home soon, so they would not have the opportunity to spend more time in the car. The car drives away.

As soon as Seryozha drove the car out of the parking lot, he saw the woman named Tonya standing on the side of the road arguing with a man.
