While I was chatting with Liu Xiaojie, two girls next to me also came over.

These two girls, one is tall and one is short, one is fat and the other is thin.

Although he couldn't remember their names, Wang Ye had some impression that these two girls were also from his hometown.

However, these two girls are very ordinary in appearance. In addition, the short and fat girl could not stand the weather here before finishing the preparatory course and returned to China. The tall and thin girl transferred to another school after graduating from the preparatory course, so Wang Ye was not the same as them.

Not too familiar.

The tall and thin girl smiled and said: "I heard that the dormitory here is mixed for men and women, and everyone has to live in this dormitory building."

Liu Xiaojie's face was a little red, and he didn't know whether it was from shyness or because he was too hot, so he took off his myopia glasses from the bridge of his nose again.

But this time I didn't pull up my clothes to wipe. Instead, I took out a pack of tissues from my pocket and wiped the lenses clean.

He looked at the tall and thin girl and replied: "Actually, this is quite good. We can take care of each other."

The short and fat girl glanced around and suddenly said: "Hey, that store is still open. I want to buy something. Brother Ye, you can go with me."

Although all of them have received the same language training, Wang Ye's Russian level is now the highest.

Strangely enough, when Wang Ye was in high school, his English scores were very poor and he couldn't learn anything.

But when he learned Russian, he seemed to have an enlightenment. He could master it as soon as the teacher taught him!

After just a few months of training, Liu Xiaojie and the others learned the most basic things, such as Russian letters, simple grammar and conversation.

But Wang Ye can already have daily conversations with the training teacher.

Of course, this refers to Wang Ye before his "rebirth". As for now...

He has been studying and working in Moscow for nearly eight years!

After returning to China, I was also engaged in trade with Russia. I can’t say that my Russian language skills can reach the level of simultaneous translation, but in terms of vocabulary and pronunciation standard, I can say that they are almost the same as ordinary Russians.

As for this short and fat girl, let’s not mention her Russian proficiency, otherwise she wouldn’t even dare to go shopping by herself, and would have to drag Wang Ye along with her.

Wang Ye nodded. He happened to be a little thirsty and wanted to buy a bottle of water.

When Liu Xiaojie saw it, he quickly said: "Wang Dan, let's go together and buy something to eat and drink."

He was talking to the tall and thin girl, and Wang Ye also learned that it turned out that the tall and thin girl was called "Wang Dan".

The tall and thin girl nodded slightly and ignored Liu Xiaojie. Instead, she turned to the short and fat girl and said: "Xiaoyun, what do you want to buy? You don't need to buy food. I still have several buckets of instant noodles in my suitcase.

You can eat if you are hungry."

But the short and fat girl shook her head and said with a smile: "That's what you need to buy. If you don't have hot water, why do you have to eat instant noodles? Go see if there are cakes or anything like that, just buy something to eat."

Before they could decide what to buy, a short, lean Chinese boy walked straight towards Wang Ye and the others.

He smiled and said hello from afar: "Welcome! I didn't know you were here until Teacher Wu came to see me just now. By the way, my name is Zhou Yuan. I came here a few months before you, and I also went through this agency."

Although they don't know this boy, Wang Ye and others have heard of the name "Zhou Yuan".

Because the leader of the team, Teacher Wu, had already told them that Zhou Yuan was the "squad leader" of their batch and had arrived earlier.

So when you get here, you can ask Zhou Yuan for help if you need anything.

In a foreign country, when you meet people from the same country, they are considered "fellow countrymen", and you are naturally close to them.

Not to mention that Zhou Yuan was from the same province as them, and studied abroad in the same year through the same agency. He was truly one of his own.

Several people and Zhou Yuan got to know each other, and Wang Ye also took the opportunity to remember the names of other classmates.

I just found out the name of the tall and thin girl, Wang Dan.

The short and fat girl is called Li Xiaoyun.

There are four other classmates, all boys. Wang Ye and the others are the last group to come, a total of eight students.

After chatting for a while, Li Xiaoyun once again mentioned going to a small store to buy things.

When Zhou Yuan heard this, he immediately patted his chest and said how many people he would take with him.

He has been in Moscow for half a year, and he needs some Russian to buy things, but he still has it at his fingertips!

Several other boys heard their conversation and quickly came over, saying they wanted to go together.

So, everyone piled their luggage in a corner against the wall, and under the leadership of Zhou Yuan, they walked into the small shop.

It was already late now and there was no one in the store.

There was only a fat saleswoman sitting lazily behind the cashier.

Wang Ye glanced at it and saw that this small store was not a common supermarket in China, but a very traditional old store.

That is, everything is in the glass counter. If you want to buy something, you need to tell the salesperson and ask her to get it for you.

"You take a look first, think about what you want to buy in advance, and then tell me one by one, and I will buy it for you. By the way, you don't have rubles on you, do you? This store can't accept US dollars directly. In this case, I will lend you two rubles each.

One hundred rubles should be enough for shopping. I will take you to exchange some rubles tomorrow and just pay me back then." Zhou Yuan said as he took out his wallet from his trouser pocket and started to share the money with everyone.

He is indeed a very enthusiastic person, otherwise, he would not have been chosen as monitor...

Wang Ye and the others had just come from China, and all the money they brought with them was US dollars, because in Russia, although the local currency is rubles, the real "hard currency" is US dollars...

When they pay tuition, buy insurance, etc., the notices issued by the school are all in US dollars.

Of course, when you actually buy something or pay a bill, you still need to give rubles.

However, in Moscow, it is very convenient to exchange US dollars for rubles, and there are exchange points all over the streets.

This kind of exchange point is very eye-catching, with only a small exchange window open, and a large electronic sign hanging above it, showing the exchange rate of US dollars to rubles.

You can go directly and hand over the US dollars, and you can get the corresponding rubles according to the exchange rate of the day.

No formalities or documents are required.

In early 2001, one U.S. dollar was worth about twenty-five rubles.

Many people may not have imagined that just ten years ago, the exchange rate between the ruble and the US dollar was almost one to one.

After the so-called "shock therapy", the ruble began to depreciate significantly, and the people's savings for many years were almost wiped out...

Before Wang Ye and others came here, the agency told them that they only needed to bring US dollars.

On the school's notice, the tuition fees, accommodation fees, etc. are also written in US dollars.

…………

The saleswoman worked here and must have seen too many international students from various countries, so when she saw Wang Ye and the others coming in, she continued to sit there without raising her head, reading a book in her hand.

I have to say that the habit of reading is very common in Russia.

On the bus, on the subway, and among the people queuing up outside the museum, you can see many people holding a book and reading it.

It is said that the penetration rate of university graduates here in Russia is as high as over 90%, and the people's education level is quite high. In this regard, they are far ahead of many countries.

The items sold in this small store are relatively simple, mostly bread, milk, drinks and snacks.

"The Helie here is not as delicious, but remember to buy white bread, never black bread. It's sour and hard, and we can't get used to it!" Zhou Yuan introduced to everyone.
