Valka! Stop creating poverty - 15

Hello everyone I continue my story!

The first day of the journey Boris read his mother's letter, but then he was joined by a cheerful group of friends who had nothing to do but chat, argue and drink all the way. The conductor repeatedly threatened to expel them, but how could he do it? To calm the demanding woman, the men showered him with chocolates and a three-ruble bill.

When Boris returned home, the city had changed so much that it was hard to believe that it was 50 years ago. Roads, buses and trolleybuses have been improved and the whole city has changed. His father met him in a taxi, but his son had a lot of heavy bags and backpacks on his back. On the way home, the gray-haired father talked only about the city, the country and the big construction site, and not a word about what was happening at home.

Arrival. A large courtyard surrounded by tall buildings, something else is being built, the yard is being landscaped.

• Boris smiled and, looking at his father, said: "Now it's a beautiful house."
  "Yes," he said bitterly.

Boris came downstairs with two bags. Valya met them in the apartment, dressed in a loose handmade robe that went down to her knees. A long, bulky robe pinned her to the floor. Only when Boris hugged his sister, he realized that she was pregnant and that she had two black-eyed babies in her arms - a boy and a one-year-old child. Boris tried to take them in his arms, but they clung to their mother.
