The door was blocked by the snow and ice outside. Alexey knocked on the door for 2 minutes, feeling that the snow and ice outside had been loosened by him, and then pulled the door back.

Zhang Sushang saw that his face was flushed with force, walked over silently, pulled his arm back together, and finally opened the door.

Alexei said gratefully to him: "Thank you, if I'm the only one, it will take more than ten minutes to open the door."

As soon as the door was opened, the air-conditioning made Zhang Sushang tremble. It was white outside, either ice or snow. Zhang Sushang, a native of Northeast China, felt that the weather in Russia was exaggerated.

There is no heating in their house, and the only heating facility is the fireplace. In order to save coal and firewood, they will not burn it all night. If it wasn’t for his insomnia last night, he would probably wake up in the middle of the night with just the cotton coat on his body. .

Seeing his pitiful appearance with teeth chattering from the cold, Alexey handed him an old scarf: "It seems that you didn't have a good understanding of this land before you came to Russia. It's so cold here in February."

Of course, Zhang Sushang can't say that he is actually very familiar with Russia, but that Russia is a new version of the ship many years later.

Alexei asked: "Chuka, do you have breakfast?"

Of course rice is something to eat.

Two poor college students who lived in the early 20th century naturally couldn't afford white flour meat and eggs. Alexei heated up the potato soup last night and soaked black bread in it for a meal.

While eating, Zhang Sushang misses the pot of chicken soup that will never fit into his stomach. It’s not that he brags, his father’s soup making skills are very good, and sometimes he directly uses coconut water as the soup base, adding chicken and bamboo fungus that have just been slaughtered and cut into pieces , stew a pot of refreshing Hainan coconut chicken, the soup is clear and refreshing, and it warms the heart and stomach after drinking it.

However, the best one is pork belly and chicken soup. It needs to be stewed white and thick, and white pepper is sprinkled in it. When the pork belly and chicken are almost eaten, add sweet potato powder to the broth and cook until the vermicelli is soft. The taste is matched with the umami of the chicken soup, absolutely perfect!

The more he thought about it, the hungrier he became, and even Zhang Sushang's appetite grew. After eating a bowl, he wanted to fill it up again, but found that the pot was empty.

The rest of last night's dinner was obviously not enough for the two big men to fill their stomachs. Zhang Sushang didn't know what Alexei's background was, but he would also work and study.

After breakfast, they went out together. Alexei and Zhang Sushang walked for another hour in the ice and snow before finally arriving at their destination - Vasily Island in St. Petersburg, Grad University right here.

Fortunately, not only did his predecessor leave him with a piece of fatty liver, but the fat in other places was also of high quality, which enabled Zhang Sushang to withstand the low temperature in the morning in St. Petersburg.

There aren't many warm days in this place all year round.

Gradla University is the oldest university in Russia, and Gradla is its current name. In later generations, this school is called St. Petersburg State University and has nine Nobel Prize winners.

Perelman, who later cracked the Poincaré conjecture and won the Fields Medal, also studied in this school, although this brother is born in the 40s, and he was born about [-] years ago.

Being able to get the admission letter from this school, Zhang Sushang recognized Yuan's level of academic mastery, but he himself was also a person who almost got into the top 1, so he didn't feel trembling that he couldn't adapt to the new university.

Isn't it just a change of place to study, at least I'm still in the medical department.

Grad University is not the school that accepts the most Chinese students in Russia. This year, it only accepted four students, one of whom has applied for a bursary, and the other two have found odd jobs with the help of Chinese students from other universities. In this era, Part-time work-study is a very common thing.

Alexei's job is to clean the library. The inside of the library is warmer than the outside. As long as he takes good care of the sanitation and organizes the books, he can borrow books here at any time. This is a beautiful job.

He took Zhang Sushang to find a table, and called out respectfully: "Alexander Sergeyevich, this is one of the foreign students of this year's Department of Medicine."

Russian names are divided into three parts, which are first name, paternal title, and surname. Among them, the paternal title can be understood in this way. If a person’s father is Sergey, then his son’s paternal title is Sergeyevich. His daughter's paternal name was Sergeyevna.

If it is an elder who is already familiar and close, they will call their name together with their father's title, and if the elder is called a junior, they will call them by their first name directly.

Professor Alexander glanced at Zhang Sushang and said, "I know about it."

Zhang Sushang stepped forward and said, "Hi, Professor, I'm Zhang Sushang, you can call me Qiuka."

Professor Alexander looked at the young man for a while, and found that he was quite strong, standing with his favorite student Alexei, like two big bears.

He has a good impression of Chinese students studying abroad. These children are hard-working people. They never slack off in reading and doing things. They are very polite to their teachers. Some of them can even read all the knowledge in a year, and then drag a large box to copy it. The translator's notes hurriedly returned to China to dedicate themselves, just like a pile of firewood, for the sake of the country, he could burn himself clean at any time without any regrets.

Zhang Sushang is the latest among the Chinese students who came to study in Russia this year. His companions also said before that this student’s family does not allow him to study in Russia. Almost all the positions have been applied for.

But the professor couldn't bear to see such a child go out to wash clothes and do coolies for others. In addition to Alexei's face, Zhang Sushang still got into a position, 25 rubles a month.

The Russian currency is the ruble and the kopek. The ruble is a banknote and the kopek is a coin. 100 kopecks are equal to 1 ruble.

In the book "My University" written by the Soviet writer Gorky, it is written that the protagonist Alyosha went to the dock to work as a porter when he was young, and he only had twenty or thirty kopecks a day, although that was the price at the end of the 19th century. Times are different, but the purchasing power of rubles and kopecks is still guaranteed today.

Zhang Sushang is still very sad. He never did housework until he was 18 years old, but now he has to clean up the garbage in the entire library.

Fortunately, Alexei took over the job of cleaning windows that required touching heights, otherwise he would have been even more sad if he fell over 180 kilograms.

This Russian guy is at least ten centimeters taller than him who is 1.8 meters...

Although school hadn't started yet, Zhang Sushang quickly got to work. He counted secretly, and felt that if he wanted to buy pens, inks, books and other necessary equipment for students after school started, the salary as a library cleaner would be enough for him. Eat half full every day.

No way, dieting to lose weight is not good for your health, and it will affect his plan to honor his father until he is 90 years old. If he wants to exercise and lose weight, a high-quality diet is the most important thing!Calcium supplement or not?High protein supplement or not?

If he does high-intensity exercise without eating meat, egg and milk, he probably wants to try the modern method directly!

If he didn’t want to save money, he could only increase the income. When Alexei went back to the utility room with the bucket, and was about to invite his new roommates to have lunch, and then went to the campus together, he saw Zhang Sushang squatting indoors to sort garbage .

Zhang Sushang pulled out the dozen or so wine bottles he had picked up during cleaning all morning, and when he heard the door open, he turned around and smiled: "Alexey, do you know where there is a place to collect waste?"

This is what he thought, if he sold a few more bottles, he might be able to buy an extra piece of bread. Anyway, he picked up the rubbish with his own labor, so there was no shame in it.

Alexei looked at Zhang Sushang, and suddenly felt a little bitterness in his heart.

The kind-hearted Xiong stepped forward and patted Zhang Sushang on the shoulder hard, almost slapping Zhang Sushang, who was actually puffy, on the ground.

Alexei said firmly: "To celebrate your coming to Russia, I will put an extra potato in the pot tonight!"

Zhang Sushang: ...

I thank you!
