City thing

Bad news: Marusya is sent to a remote Siberian village for the entire summer to "get some fresh air." This is a real test for a city girl! How can you live without running water and the Internet? Where do you turn on the hot water in the bathhouse? Is a horse-drawn cart not a figure of speech, but a real means of transportation? And where should you take all the dresses and sandals that were stuffed into suitcases? Marusya is simply annoyed by everything in this village! Instead of the promised nature, there are cucumber beds everywhere. Instead of Lake Baikal, there are cows roaming freely with a threatening look. What is there to do here all summer? And then there are the locals with their stupid poetry evening...
