In the morning, as usual, he very heavily woke up.
Yesterday I again sat around with friends at their favorite place, the guys called it the Round Table. This tire from Kamaz, which already the second generation of boys from this yard served as a place for their gatherings. They gathered here, they loved to learn new chords together, and in turn played the old guitar of one of the boys. She was all shabby and pasted with stickers of faces of unfamiliar artists and cars, which the guys did not even see.
Yesterday he told his comrades that he had to spend the entire summer with his grandmother in the village. The guys, hearing this news, were sad and sigh. How can they live for 2 months without the Earring.
Seryozhka was the soul of the company, he had authority from all the guys in his district and other areas of his town. Several times, in street brawls, he showed himself worthy, from the point of view and concepts of his peers, the boys of his district.
Being not very athletic, he had a very strong character and was not afraid of pain. At the same time he was very sharp and knew several techniques from combat sambo, which he taught his uncle Sasha. About Seryozhka there were legends all over the city and he liked girls very much, but he had a firm decision not to meet with anyone. The reason is that he very often heard from his uncle Sasha a sad story, about the fact that his girl did not wait for him and jumped in marriage, for a new sailor. Seryozhka firmly decided, before the army no dates and was in this respect irreconcilable.
When the ray of sun hit Seryozha's face, he rolled over to the other side. But the thought flashed through his mind
- Bus !!!
And he remembered that he should go by early bus to the village of Anatolievka, in which the grandmother and grandfather of the boy lived. He opened his eyes and squinted at the clock and realized that there were 25 minutes left before the departure of the bus.
He jumped up and began to pull on his clothes in a hurry. After dressing and running into the kitchen, when he saw sandwiches with sausages left by his mother Marina, he grabbed one of them and, taking out a bottle of kefir, began to absorb the sandwich and wash down with yogurt at an incredible speed. Having eaten two sandwiches, taking 10 rubles left by the mother from the refrigerator, he closed the apartment, ran down the stairs and on the last flight left in the back seat on the railing, jumped out into the street.
Before the departure of the bus there was little time and Seryozhka did not lose speed, ran to the bus sat and a minute later the driver closed the bus doors and drove the passengers along the bus route.
The village was a two hour drive from their town. On the way, Seryozhka pressed his cheek to the window, looked at the surroundings and beauties of his native land. June heat, greens, field flowers and fields - then wheat, then the alfalfa was very beautiful.
Two hours passed quickly, Seryozhka went to the bus station and he had to walk a few kilometers to the village. He ripped off the green stalks of grass. After about half way, he heard behind him the sound of hooves.
Looking back, he saw a girl on a horse, who gracefully drew level with him, and the girl suspended the course of the horse. I turned to him:
-You, as I see it, are heading to our village." To whom did you come?
Seryozhka, looked up at the girl, and looked at her pretty face. Strictly replied:
- Yes. I'm going to grandfather Tolya know this?
-Yes, at least 5 of our grandfathers are in the village of Tolya, to which?
-To Litvinov.
- Yeah, it's clear, and to the woman Natasha means. Everything is now clear with you.
And the girl, slapping her hand, accelerated the pace. Then she turned to him and asked
- Calling for you how?
- Sergei.
He answered her frowning
-What are you going to do in the country and for how long?
- Well, let's see, it's not decided yet. I'll help my grandfather, they have a big farm.
She looked at him again, sparkled in her cunning glance, shouted at the horse and galloped off, never introducing herself to Sergei.
He went to the village and saw a familiar house, went into the gate, and by his appearance, very much pleased my grandparents.
Grandfather Anatoly said at once:
- I helped my grandfather come, Sergei was waiting for you, grandfather, glad to see my son!
Grandmother Natasha immediately objected to her husband:
-Let it take a week to rest and sleep. Seryozha, do not rush your grandfather, you just need to harness someone. Do not hurry, he will have time to help you.
Grandfather Tolya looked at his wife, and decided not to arrange a grandson of disputes on the day of his arrival, looked at both and went out into the street.
Grandmother seated her grandson at the table and fed him homemade, very tasty, rustic food.
- Grandma what kind of a girl on a black horse in the village drives around, there were not such people here, I do not rem
-Yes, she's a daughter, who came to our state farm of Alexander Ivanovich, he gathered at a state farm." For some sort of order. For more than a year now they have been living with us, a good family and a father and daughter. Her name is Alenka, a good girl, an assistant to her father. Two of them live, she does not have a mother, he is a widower.
- I understand Grandma, do you have gingerbread?
- Yes, Seryozha
Grandmother took out gingerbread from the sideboard and poured him milk. He gladly ate the cakes and drank two cups. Having said:
-Thank you, Granny," he ran out into the street.
The fence was already waiting for his local friend Vitka, who was very fond of him when Sergei came and did not leave him for a minute. In the village they even called him Sancho Panso, for his habit of going everywhere with Sergei.
-Hello, Vitka, how are you?"
-That's all, as usual, the village ..."
-And what about horses and riders around the village driving around?"
-Are you talking about Alenka or something?" Yes, all the boys in the village because of her already quarreled. She is very typical. And he believes that if a kid does not know how to ride a horse properly, then this is generally an empty place for her.
- You see what, and that someone learned to ride on horses?
-That without a teacher is impossible, the redheaded Fedka did not turn his neck to himself, after that in the village, everyone is afraid to learn horse riding, and horses like that, only with Uncle Sasha her father. And our rustic, they are for a cart, not for a ride intended.
-Vitka, help me out." Your bati also has a mare's house, a dawn. Can I learn to ride it?
And the two men exchanged glances, without any unnecessary questions, headed to where Zorka was tied. Right after the village in the meadow.
What happened next, it's certainly like they say it's better to see once than hear a hundred times. But the practice of Sergei's Cowboy began. Without a saddle on a horse is not particularly comfortable, especially when it's never done before. Let's just say that it's good that Zorka is a calm mare, but even then, in a couple of hours, Seryozhka fell five times from a horse.
-Well, for the first time, he said enough to Vitka and heard that someone had put his hand on him, turned around, saw a strange man, walked away from him a few steps.
-Do you like horses?"
-He asked Seryozhka.
-Yes, but we do not ride horses in the city.
- I've watched you for a while, you're a guy who's quick and persistent, I love it in people. What is your name?
- Sergei me, and you?
- Alexander Ivanovich. If you like horses, I can teach you this.
- True?! Yes, I really want to, and when you can start.
-Let's go to the corral tomorrow, and we'll see how yes and what, have we agreed?"
- Oh sure! Can you take Vitka with you?
-Yes, you two come and ... '
So began the Seryozha cowboy career, now, for sure, he will not be bored in the village with his grandmother, and summer vacations promise a lot of interesting and fascinating ...
