Time flies to the fifth day of September. Suisui, who has obtained the right to use two planes, is obsessed with making money every day. The consequences are not only that the Katenka sisters are slapped on the back of the head with their busy feet, but also that they have a rare month. During the "holiday without Jima", Maya became a free labor force. Going to and from get off work every day was countless times harder than the days when she worked as Jima's assistant.
In contrast, Wei Ran, who insists and firmly believes that he is a waste, is undoubtedly much more relaxed. In the little half a month since his return, the only thing he has done is to help his cheap father-in-law, Professor Alexei, to help him
After careful maintenance of the World War II German paratrooper knife I bought, I sent it to the cheongsam woman Jia Ya in the Philippine Monkey Country according to the address.
Apart from this one serious matter, Luke, who had set up a tent and blocked the door to wait for him before he came back, seemed to have disappeared from the world. Not only did he never contact him again, even the emails he sent were like
It's like a stone sinking into the sea with no news.
Although he didn't know if Luke, who called himself "Lucky Luke", encountered something unlucky, the other party left no clues except his name and email address. Even if he wanted to find him, he couldn't find him.
, naturally I am too lazy to continue thinking about this matter.
Just when he was wondering whether he needed to prepare a suitable Teacher's Day gift for Culp and others in advance as a thank-you gift for the transport plane, the teacher Dalia, who had been "retired" or "reborn", came to Karp on September 8.
I got a call during breakfast time that day.
"Invite us to come over as guests?" Wei Ran repeated the other party's invitation in surprise, and then simply turned on the speaker phone. "I do intend to invite you over to be guests."
Teacher Dalia on the other end of the phone said with a smile, "Autumn is coming soon, and the scenery on Lake Ladoga is very beautiful, so we would like to invite you to come over for two days and take a look at the exhibition hall we just completed.
Of course, we still need you and Aurora to help us with some help."
"Aunt Dalia, what do you need us to do?" Suisui put her head over and asked intimately. After asking, she didn't forget to take a big bite of the steaming steamed buns.
"Oliga and Olena's father is a fisherman in Lake Onega. He always wanted to change to a profession that doesn't have such a fishy smell, so..."
"Understood!" Suisui immediately understood the other party's plan before Dalia finished speaking, and asked with extra confidence, "Bring someone over to play, right? I'll take care of it!"
"I knew you were much more reliable than Victor."
Dalia on the other end of the phone complimented Suisui with a smile and then asked, "When do you have time?"
"How about we go today?" Suisui turned to Wei Ran who was sitting next to him and asked, "We have been working hard for half a month, and it's time to go out and play for a few days."
"Listen to yourself, does this sound like what a capitalist is saying?" Wei Ran joked, dumbfounded.
"Why do I start my own business? Isn't it just to fish for three days and dry the web for two days?"
Suisui said happily, "Then it's settled! Aunt Dalia, if we can buy a plane ticket, we will leave today!"
"The weather has been so good recently. Don't waste your life on work, so why not bring all the girls in your family over to play together!"
Dalia said with a smile, "Also, you can come here on Jima's plane. I heard from him that Alili has been familiar with that plane recently, so I just asked him to fly to Petersburg to send you here."
“I totally agree with you!”
Before Suisui finished speaking, she had already winked at Anfisa who was sitting opposite her. Seeing this, the latter immediately took out her mobile phone and dialed Ali, who had been flying between Inta and Kazan recently.
inside.
"I'll send you the address later," Dalia said and hung up the phone.
"Did she just say that she wanted me to do her a favor?" Wei Ran glanced at his hung up phone suspiciously.
"If I'm looking for you, I'm looking for me."
While Suisui was speaking, she had already picked up the second steamed bun and stuffed it into her mouth. Then she stood up and pushed the wheelchair under Sui Xin's buttocks. She walked to her room on the first floor and said, "It's rare to get a free special flight."
, this time you will follow
Get up!" "I haven't eaten yet..."
Sui Xin, who was still holding a xiaolongbao with the chopsticks in her hand, didn't even finish her words before she was pushed into the room by Suisui. Immediately afterwards, the girl handed a pair of chopsticks to Maya, who was nearest.
I did not forget to greet everyone anxiously to pack their luggage.
In less than an hour, Wei Ran and a group of girls who had no time to put on makeup rushed to the airport by car. They met up with the captain, Comrade Alili, who was waiting for them in advance, and boarded the milky-white painted aircraft.
Installed An 74 transport aircraft.
Now, after more than half a month of adapting to help transport miners and various supplies to Inta and further away Vorkuta, Alili and his partners can fly this private plane alone, and just
Even the crew members sent by Uncle Chubb to help them get familiar with driving have already evacuated.
However, I don’t know whether it was because of my professional habit of flying An-2 aircraft or because of the fear of death of a certain 18-tier movie star. The more than thirty relatively spacious seats of this An-74 are now all stuffed.
Parachute bag, and there are also some medical kits and other things stuffed everywhere in the cabin.
Logically speaking, such redundant and unnecessary preparations are enough to make people feel at ease, but until the plane took off and climbed to the predetermined altitude, the safety of the aircraft became more and more unreliable.
Naturally, his inner uneasiness was not that he was worried that something might happen to the plane piloted by his good friend Arili, but that he always felt that there seemed to be some big pitfalls waiting for him when he was invited to Petersburg this time.
In this inexplicable uneasiness, Wei Ran spent more than two hours on the flight with a group of girls who chatted non-stop, but he couldn't talk to him at all. The An-74 was also light and stable.
Landing at Peterborough Airport.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! When the group of them, who had a high turnover rate, walked out of the airport, Wei Ran saw Ji Mazai in the distance wearing a baseball cap, sunglasses and a mask.
He waved to himself from a distance.
"Why are you here?" Maya, who was originally happy, also had a deceived expression on her face when she saw Jima.
"I...I'm here to pick you up?"
Jima spread his hands innocently, "I have been shooting commercials in Petersburg a few days ago. I just finished my work last night and had a chance to rest."
“If we rarely go out to play together, don’t talk about work.”
In the end, Wei Ran pulled his good brother, joked and greeted everyone to leave the waiting room, followed Jima, who winked at him, and got into an Iveco loafer he borrowed from who knows where.
"So why are you here?" Until the car started running, Maya reluctantly grabbed the back of the driver's seat and asked Jima, who was responsible for driving.
"Of course Teacher Dalia invited me to come over to play," Jima said with a grin, "But I don't know where to go. I was catching up on my sleep in the hotel this morning, and then Teacher Dalia asked me to
Rent a car big enough for all of you to come pick you up and take you to the Neva River pier to find Olga’s father, Mr. Ivan. As for where to go next, I don’t know.”
After a short pause, Jima continued with a smile on his face, "Also, we will go back to continue filming the movie in a week, and the plane will send us there by then."
“There’s at least a week left to play.”
Maya sat back in her seat, stretched, and helped hold Sui Xin's wheelchair beside her and said, "I finally have a chance to rest. The help I have given to Aurora these days is simply more stingy than the one I gave to Kajik."
The old guy is still tired when he works."
"I think so too." Suisui nodded with a sympathetic look. Looking at her innocent look of sharing the same hatred, it was as if Suisui and Aurora were two completely different people.
No matter how hard the work was in the previous half month, amidst the chatter of a group of young people, this new Iveco only drove a dozen kilometers and stopped at a pretty beautiful building on the south bank of the Neva River.
In the parking lot of the pier.
You don’t even need to look at the signs around this pier, just look at the beautiful white sightseeing boats parked on the berth of the pier to know that this is a place specially designed for taking boats along the Neva River to Lake Ladoga and even further to Onega.
Prepared for tourists visiting the lake.
However, when the group of them pushed Sui Xin, who was looking around in a wheelchair, and their suitcases onto the pier, they discovered something strange in those beautiful white sightseeing boats far away.
Compared with the white and petite sightseeing boats around, the dark blue Zuk-class 1400 patrol boat driven by fisherman Ivan is indeed a well-deserved one in terms of appearance, noise and even smell and ancestral black smoke.
Alien.
If we were to find a reasonable analogy, it would be like... a walking tractor that was emitting black smoke and loaded with catches drove into a parking lot full of supercars.
Before he could drive this absurd scene out of his mind, fisherman old Ivan also waved at them enthusiastically, beckoning these young people to get on the boat quickly.
"Uncle Ivan, why did you park your broken ship in a place like this?" Wei Ran and Jima worked together to lift Sui Xin and her wheelchair onto the deck and immediately asked the same question in unison.
"Do you still expect me to drive the boat to the airport terminal to pick you up? In addition, she is not a broken boat. With all the garbage around, you can't even think of catching up with my Sasha"
Old Ivan pointed at the cockpit angrily, "Victor, you go sail the boat. Jima, you bastard, please help me collect the cable. The parking fee here is too expensive, we have to take advantage of the charge."
People should leave as soon as possible."
"It's Sasha again..."
Wei Ran twitched the corner of his mouth and muttered. While wondering if all the Sashas in Russia would disappear, the country would become a desert without people. He got into the cockpit and waited for Jima to put away the cable.
The familiar driver drove this fishing boat, formerly a patrol boat, away from the dock and sailed along the Neva River towards Lake Ladoga.
Under Ivan's guidance, this old fishing boat docked at the pier of an island in the middle of the river after sailing for more than 20 kilometers.
After Jima tied the cable, Weiran also shut down the engine and asked Ivan curiously, "Old guy, where is this place?"
"Fish Island"
Ivan explained while helping Wei Ran move Sui Xin and her wheelchair onto the pier, "The building you can see on the island is a salmon breeding farm, which is a very old company."
"Salmon breeding farm?" Wei Ran looked at the other party in confusion. "A subsidiary company of Fishing Ground No. 33"
Ivan suddenly switched to French to explain, and then spoke in Russian with a louder voice, "To tell you the truth, I used to be a technician at this breeding farm."
"Could it be..." Wei Ran looked at Dalia and the sisters Olga and Olena who were driving a golf cart from a distance.
"You guessed it right"
Before Suisui and others came down with the boxes, Ivan raised his hand and pointed to the forest in the northeast of the island, "Dalia's exhibition hall is in that forest. This is the only piece of land she can afford."
"
I believe you... Wei Ran warmly greeted Dalia and the three of them who were getting closer, while secretly curling his lips. Maybe this island belongs to Fishing Ground No. 33, so he bought the land here.
It still costs a lot of money.
Sure enough, whoever tells the truth is a barking pug!
Of course, at least he would never say these words, and Ivan, who seemed to have no reservations about him at all, had already opened his arms to greet his daughters who were running towards him.
"Get in the car quickly!"
Teacher Dalia, who seemed to have lost some weight, stopped the car steadily and greeted everyone to get in the car with a gentle face, "Would you like me to take you to visit the island later?"
"Aunt Dalia, you won't buy this island, right?" Suisui, who had just jumped onto the pier, asked while hugging the other person affectionately.
"I just bought a small piece of land in the northeast of the island," Dalia responded with a smile, "Of course, the owner of this breeding farm and I have a good relationship, so if you are interested, you can go to the factory later.
Take a tour.”
After saying that, Dalia first introduced the sisters Olga and Olena to Suisui and others, and then Maya followed them.
The girls introduced it.
After the girls got to know each other, the Katenka sisters also helped Sui Xin sit in the car with the help of Lola, and also lifted the wheelchair up.
The only thing Wei Ran and Ji Ma, the two great enemies, had to do was to move everyone's luggage to another car as quickly as possible while the girls got to know each other.
Soon, three golf carts drove along the road inside the island to the hatchery workshop and visited several large ponds filled with fish fry. Then they drove slowly along the quiet crossroads in the forest to the island.
An open space on the northeast side.
This trapezoidal open space on the edge of the island is not very large, but there is a very designed steel-framed glass house in the middle.
And around this glass house, which occupies nearly an entire flat area, there are not only lush lawns, but also pieces of milky-white sunshade canopies. There are even many cute tree houses built on the edge of the lawn. "Here.
It’s so beautiful.” The girls sitting in the same car exclaimed in unison.
"It was designed by Olena"
There was undisguised pride and pride in Dalia's tone, "Although she is a sculptor, as you can see, she is also very talented in architectural design."
"I found inspiration in some crazy Soviet architecture," Olena explained shyly, "and the steel-framed glass curtain wall structure was the only option that could be built in such a short time."
“Let’s go in and visit together!”
Dahlia said, having been the first to leave the golf cart, stepping on the black and white stone steps that looked like piano keys, she led everyone into the interior of this building that had an indescribable outline, but was extremely beautiful.
"This will be the place where Olga holds concerts in the future," Darya said, standing in the center of the hall, while her originally not loud voice echoed repeatedly in the building.
"I heard Aunt Daria say that the Chinese musical instruments you play are very beautiful. Do you want to try it later?" Olga squatted beside Sui Xin's wheelchair and asked, hugging the taciturn little genius Korava, and spoke in a sincere tone.
Also invited.
"Sister Aurora asked me to bring Youquan." Lola, who was responsible for pushing the wheelchair, did not wait for Sui Xin to speak, and pointed to the golf cart used to pull luggage outside the building.
When these girls discussed having a concert here in the evening, Dalia also enthusiastically introduced the scattered sculptures around them to Wei Ran and others.
Continuing into the next hall, Dalia pointed to the shelves against the wall in the corner of the hall and the barrels of sculpture clay and said proudly, "If someone comes here in the future, in addition to camping outside and enjoying solo concerts,
You can also experience the fun of sculpture with Olena."
"I want to give it a try later."
Wei Ran, who knew a lot of inside information, glanced at Dalia who looked happy and said jokingly, "Actually, I wanted to give it a try last time I was a guest at Ivan's house. When I was a kid, playing in the mud was something I and I didn't do.
Aurora’s few common interests.”
Suisui grinned, tried hard to hold back her smile, and reminded in Chinese, "My brother, please take it easy, there is a huge difference between the pot breaking we played and Olena's sculpture."
"It's not all about playing in the mud anyway," Wei Ran responded calmly. "Why didn't you tell me about the last time you were a guest at my house?" Ivan, who had been following him, hooked his thick arm around Wei Ran's neck with a look on his face.
asked with a kind smile.
"I didn't say it last time because I was worried that Lake Onega was too deep," Wei Ran deliberately said loudly, and as expected, several insiders around him burst into laughter.
Under the leadership of Dalia, they continued to walk forward. When they entered the next exhibition hall, Wei Ran was stunned for a moment. There were many things displayed in this exhibition hall, which was not too big.
There are not only the rusty "Lake Kaban Candy Company" sign that should have been placed in his attic, but also the two desperate photos he saw at the home of veteran Leva, and more.
There is a long-outdated Sony Walkman, and a Kiev 30 camera placed with the Walkman.
Of course, there is also the story of when he went to Olga and Olga
What the Lena sisters saw in their apartment in Petersburg was the wooden box with metal corners, the bayan with a story that was supposed to be in the box, half a book of music scores, and most of it filled with music.
Black bread mixed with sawdust and other substances, half a dried fish, a small bottle of coarse salt, a necklace and a small tk pistol.
The items on display above are either hung at a height that is difficult for ordinary people to touch even if they jump up, or they have an independent platform with a tempered glass cover.
In addition, in this not-so-large exhibition hall, the sound of "House" that Wei Ran and Deathstroke's friends had heard countless times on the battlefield in Grozny was echoed repeatedly at a seemingly invisible volume.
"Green grass by the side".
"Victor, next is what we need your help with."
While Wei Ran was secretly in a trance listening to this Earthlings band song, Dalia used the key to open the tempered glass cover that was attached to the bayan and half of the music sheet.
It’s going to be bad!
Wei Ran felt a chill in his heart. He finally knew where the source of his uneasiness had been all along the way!
Before he could speak, Dalia had already said, "Victor, I hope you can help us find out the origins of this bayan and the half of the music score."
