Harvest of poisonous berries

CHAPTER 1

There was a ringing silence in the apartment. I lay on the sofa and read the old, old Cosmopolitan, who knows how to get to us. Finally, I got tired of this occupation, and my hand clicked the remote control. Instantly the black screen turned blue.

- A box of chocolates "Russia"! What could be tastier? – rushed from the speaker.

I sighed heavily - hit the ad block. Interestingly, do the people who come up with all these slogans, appeals and catchy phrases listen to them themselves? What could be tastier than a box of chocolates? Sweets can be tastier than boxes. No, after all, people are completely absent common sense. Yesterday I looked at the market and, walking along the row where plumbing is sold, I saw the price tag "Toilet seated for one person." There was a call to approach the seller and ask:

- Man, I need a standing one, for two, where can I buy it?

But I suppressed the idiotic desire and went for the meat. In general, advertisers have little imagination. Take Coca-Cola, for example, it always offers the same thing: open the cork and look into it from the “inside out”, and only there ... cars, trips abroad, tape recorders, scooters. However, other manufacturers do the same.

At one time, people, hoping for good luck, rushed to buy bottles, I myself collected about forty stickers from yogurt, until I realized: I constantly come across an image rear wheel from the bike, the front was never. And in general, if you add up all the money spent on yogurt, you can easily buy a bicycle yourself.

Obviously, this simple truth occurred not only to me, because our acquaintances stopped "buying" for promotions. But the same Coca-Cola, for example, continues to lure us with prizes. There would be no need to create something new, original. So a good idea came to my mind yesterday, I came up with an unexpected twist in an advertising campaign. How would you like this idea: "Buy a Coca-Cola, every twentieth cork has vodka." I guarantee that in a day there will be a shortage of soft drinks in Moscow.

I clicked the remote, the TV went out. The clock showed two in the morning, everyone in the house was asleep, only insomnia attacked me. It's probably because of the stuffiness. May, there is nothing to breathe, it's hot, gasoline smog hangs in the air. Best of all now in the country, and we have it, close to the Moscow Ring Road, you can safely go to work. But our family spends time in the city. The reason is easily explained. My friend Tamara is expecting a baby, and her husband Semyon categorically stated:

- No, God forbid, childbirth begins, what are we going to do in the country?

Tomochka said timidly:

- But Senechka, Christina will have something like a vacation for the May holidays, how is she in the city?

“Nothing,” the always affectionate Senya barked, “I’ll send her to a rest home.

- Don't, - Krisa was frightened, - better at home, and I don’t like it at the dacha at all, melancholy, no one I know ...

- No, - Tom persisted, - the child is better in the air, in which case we will call an ambulance, call you on your mobile!

Senya turned blue and said in an iron tone:

- I said in the city, so in the city.

That is why we are sitting in hot Moscow, and not in the cool suburbs. According to the calculations of the doctors, Tomuska was supposed to become a mother on the third or fourth of May, but today is the fifth, or rather, already the sixth, but there are no signs of an impending birth. Tamarochka is as cheerful as a bird, cheerfully fussing at the stove, and dismisses all my requests to go lie down with the words:

- Now, now, just cook the soup.

But the process of planing the ingredients for a delicious soup takes a lot of time in our family, too many people live in the apartment: Tomochka, her husband Semyon, Kristina, Senya's daughter from her first marriage, me and my husband Oleg Kuprin.

Our apartment consists of two, and theoretically we can close the door that leads from the common living room to our half, and stay with Oleg alone. But practically this has never been done. Tomochka and I spent our childhood, youth and most of our mature years together, and now we sincerely consider ourselves sisters, although there is no blood relationship between us. And to be alone with my spouse is impossible for one simple reason - he is never at home. Oleg works in the police, he is an investigator, and I will not tell you how heavy the burden of the wife of someone who decided to uproot crime in the capital is. Despite, shall we say, mature age, Oleg has not lost his romantic mood and is absolutely sure that "a thief should be in prison." However, the rapist, the robber, the murderer and the swindler too.
