Chapter 40: Moving to a New Home

Sergey finally let Ryazanov go, not only because Ryazanov no longer threatened Sergey, but also because Sergey didn't want to take anyone's life casually, anyway Sergey Now he holds Ryazanov's handle in his hands. Ryazanov promised to leave Tyumen after disposing of Lomonosov's property. He did keep his promise. The Tatar family was given to Seresha by Ryazanov. It also disappeared, and since then there has been no such person in Qiuming's territory. As for his whereabouts, who knows, who cares?

The affairs here in Tyumen finally came to an end, and Sergei and his group returned to Gorky. Now that Seryozha has money, he naturally can't wrong himself. Who would like to be crowded in the matchbox dormitory of the Gorky Automobile Factory. So Seryozha decided to change a house for himself. In the Soviet Union, all houses in the city belonged to the state, and a housing distribution system was implemented, and all good houses were in the hands of the elite. Therefore, if Seryozha wanted to live in a good house, he could only move to the countryside, because the houses there could be bought and sold.

Gorky City was called Nizhny Novgorod during the Tsarist period. This is an ancient city. There are many winter hunting villas built by nobles in Tsarist Russia on the outskirts. Although the housing conditions in the countryside are better than those in the city, there are many factories in Gorky City. There are many job opportunities, so young people would rather live in a matchbox in the city than live in the country.

Seryozha took a fancy to a villa from the Tsarist Russia period, which was far away from the village, probably because the nobles at that time did not want to be surrounded by serfs. The villa is surrounded by a dense pine forest. The river flowing through the forest has left a small pond here. The people in the village took him there to see it. It is really a beautiful pond. The water in the pond is very clear and you can I saw fish swimming around in the water, and wild ducks and wild geese flew across the sky from time to time. It is said that the water of this river comes from a swamp in the upper reaches, and will eventually flow into the broad Volga River. The exterior wall of the villa is made of solid stone, probably because few people take care of it, the exterior wall is covered with mottled moss, black and green, the color of the wall can no longer be seen, but it gives people a simple and simple feeling. A sense of vicissitudes. The interior of the villa is well preserved, and many of the furniture are still in their original state, even the hardcover books in the study room are still in their original state.

It is said that the owner here was originally a viscountess. This noble lady is kind-hearted and loves this land very much, and takes good care of the serfs here. The serfs here are also very grateful to this lady. Later, after the outbreak of the October Revolution, the nobles here left one after another, and the Viscountess was no exception. Before she left, she left a sum of money to the serfs here, asking them to take good care of the villa until she came back, but she still didn't come back. This villa is now collectively owned by the villagers in this village. Because it is too far away from the village, no one lives here. Only when the superior leaders come here for inspection, they will be arranged to live here. So completely preserved. Seryozha spent a sum of money to buy this villa, and then invited the villagers to repair the house for him. Seryozha was very generous, not only gave them a salary, but also gave them a lot of food, cheese, bacon and vodka. The villagers are naturally very happy to make money, and they like this new neighbor very much. There are not many places in the house that need to be repaired. Seryozha asked the villagers to clean up the moss on the outer wall and replace some damaged doors and windows. The tiles on the roof were replaced, and the drainage here was dredged. Professionals were also specially invited from the city to redecorate the toilet, bathroom, and kitchen. This has preserved the original charm of the house while also making some modern changes to suit the tastes of the new owners.

One weekend after the villa was repaired, Seryozha brought Tonya, Father Petrov and his brothers here. Boris and Yakov have now been suspended without pay in the factory, and they can work with Sergei all day long.

Everyone likes this kind of free life. Sergey's car passed the village first, and the villagers saw Sergey and his group waving their hats to greet him, Sergey also waved back. After passing through the village, the car drove for a while and gradually entered a pine forest. The path in the forest is paved with asphalt and cobblestones, and the end of the path is the gate of this villa. Seryozha parked the car outside the gate and led the crowd to visit the villa on foot.

The villa is divided into three floors, and there is a basement. The first floor is a wide hall, which includes a dining room and a kitchen. The original dining room has been preserved, but the kitchen has been remodeled. There are steamers and ovens, and a large refrigerator. Copper pots of various sizes are neatly hung on the wall, as well as soup pots and frying pans of the same type. All these things were brought by Sergey Sha. This place is comparable to the back kitchen of a restaurant. It was specially prepared for Father Petrov, who loves cooking, and he is very satisfied with this place.

There were some oil paintings hanging on the walls of the villa, most of which were rural scenes. The locals told Sergei that it was done by the original hostess here, and Sergei thought it was very beautiful, so he kept all of them. The second floor is the living area of ​​the owner of the house, where there are the owner's bedroom and guest room, and each room has a bathroom. The rooms on the third floor are places for rest. There is a music room with an antique piano in it. Tonya tried to play a piece on the spot and was full of praise for it. The best room here is the studio, where there is a large terrace with a view of the village and the pond in the forest in the distance. Seryozha's favorite is the study room. Many books here belong to the original hostess, but it can be seen that most of the villagers here are not interested. What they are most interested in is the wine cellar in the basement. There is nothing there. It was left, but Seryozha was confident that it would be filled. There is also a room dedicated to entertainment on the third floor, which has a billiard case and a card table. Surrounding it is a circle of sofas, which should be a place for the host and guests to relax. Seryozha thinks that if you have time, you can play chess here with your father, and your father is still very good.

At lunch time, everyone sat around the dining table on the first floor, just some sandwiches and tea. Everyone chatted while eating. Boris and Yakov first presented their housewarming gifts.

Seryozha and Papa Petrov opened it and saw that they were two sets of Shimano RB fishing rods, which felt very good in the hand, and both Seryozha and Papa liked them very much. There are a lot of fish in the beautiful pond outside, it should be very pleasant to spend an afternoon there.

Immediately afterwards, Yuri and Mikhail also sent their gifts.

Sergey opened it and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Oh! TOZ-34 shotgun! It's the same model as Secretary Brezhnev's!" Sergey couldn't help admiring. Secretary Brezhnev likes hunting. As far as I know, the shotgun he used is naturally a good gun.

Today is Sunday, and after lunch, the pious father went to church by himself, leaving only a group of young people here. Tonya went to the music room on the third floor, and she was fascinated by the antique piano. Seryozha stayed downstairs to entertain the guests. He found an opportunity to say to Yuri, Mikhail, Boris and Yakov, "I have a gift for you too."
