Starting from March 3, Wei Ran, who officially joined the nursery school, also got a new job because of his act of playing the bayan yesterday before taking up the job - as a music teacher, or in other words, working with the man named Wei.
Tully worked as a music teacher with wounded soldiers.
Fortunately, he didn't need to sing with his broken gong voice, he only had to play the bayan.
Wei Ran naturally had no objections to this. Anyway, this music class was not divided into classes and grades. It only took one class every morning to sing together with the children in the 50s and 60s who lived in the air-raid shelter.
Not only is the work not tiring or troublesome, but you can also meet Alexander and other children and ask them how they were doing yesterday.
First, he changed the medicines for the injured little ones in the nursery very carefully. After finishing his work, Wei Ran didn't even have time to rest, so at Vitaly's urging, he took Bayanqin to the place where the children had classes.
The appearance of Wei Ran, as expected, made Alexander and the other younger children who had just arrived secretly relieved, while the girls like Olga, Sasha and Lesia secretly pinched themselves.
He held in his pocket the letter he had just written to Ke Na yesterday.
"If only Matvey and his little animals were here too"
Wei Ran looked at the children who had packed the classroom and sighed secretly. If he were still alive, if he were here, these children might be able to have one more animal performance class.
Dismissing the random thoughts in his mind, Wei Ran simply introduced himself in the way Vitali did, and then concentrated on his accompanist work. By the way, he also listened to Vitali's basic music class, hoping for the best for himself.
This musical idiot who can no longer be considered a musical idiot can still learn something.
After a babbling music class, Wei Ran realized that he was still just a music player relying on muscle memory, so he simply took advantage of the crowd to take pictures of the children and Vitaly, a soldier in the military band who was surrounded by the children.
They took a group photo together, and then generously lent Kona’s bayanqin to the other party.
After taking a short rest and returning to the ward of the nursery, Wei Ran did not expect that in just one class, there would be a little guy who was only three or four years old. After all, he still couldn't bear the large burns all over his body.
The nurse who took care of him quietly left this world while crying bitterly.
After gently patting the shoulder of the little nurse who was not much older than Ke Na, Wei Ran took out his camera and took a single photo of the little guy with burns on his face to prove that he had been in this world.
Silently putting away the camera, he gently picked up this little guy who weighed nothing at all, and left the ward under the leadership of the little nurse with red eyes.
During the day when he was officially working in the air-raid shelter, Wei Ran pressed the shutter again and again, trying his best to record the suffering and laughter in this air-raid shelter.
Time flew by and came to March 5th. Wei Ran once again followed Vitaly, a soldier from the military band, into the classroom where children were given music lessons.
However, this time, Vitaly did not ask Wei Ran to help with the accompaniment, nor did he take the children to practice chorus. Instead, he pointed to the speaker above his head and made a silent gesture.
The children didn't have to wait long before an impassioned voice came from the loudspeaker, "I dedicate this work to our future victory and to my hometown Leningrad."
After a moment of silence, the children were chattering and whispering to each other with excited faces.
"Shh-"
Vitali smiled and made a silent gesture again, "This is the Leningrad Symphony by Comrade Shostakovich, a great musician from Leningrad. Children, let us listen to it now."
Let’s dedicate this piece of music to this city.”
Before Vitaly finished speaking, a calm and lively sonata came to mind from the speaker, and the chattering children also fell silent one after another.
At the edge of the classroom, Wei Ran was in the music, in the faint sound of explosions coming from outside the air-raid shelter, looking for those colorful Budyonni hats in each head, and at the same time, silently doing roll call in the bottom of his heart.
Except for Anastasia and Bogdan, Galina is...
Wei Ran secretly breathed a sigh of relief and left the room quietly. He first found Anastasia and Bogdan who were playing hide and seek in the room, and then picked up Galina who had just fed and was sleeping soundly.
, took them to the music classroom.
After seeing these three little guys, Lesia and Olga immediately showed surprise, and subconsciously opened their arms. One hugged Anastasia who ran over, and the other picked up Wei Ran from his arms.
Passed Galina. As for Bogdan, this little guy had already opened his arms and jumped into Alexander's arms.
Now it's all ready... No, not yet, there is still one child left...
Wei Ran murmured to himself, and at Vitaly's signal, he also sat in the pile of children, letting Bogdan lie on his lap and letting Andre catch him.
own sleeves.
In this slightly quiet but extremely long music class, Wei Ran and the children listened to the symphony, which lasted more than 70 minutes.
When the song ended with intensive drum beats, the speakers hanging on the wall also fell into silence amid a burst of piercing noise, and then the sound of explosions coming from outside the air-raid shelter became increasingly clear.
He and Wei Ran sighed one after another, and Vitaly refused the support of Wei Ran and the children. He supported the crutches alone, stood up strongly with his shoulders against the wall, and announced that get out of class was over.
Almost immediately, Galina, who had been in Olga's arms just now, also started crying.
"This little guy loves music"
Vitaly gently touched Galina's little head with a bandaged hand, "She will become as great a musician as Comrade Shostakovich, I swear."

After Wei Ran finished speaking, he looked at the children around him and said, "If you all have time, how about we take another group photo? With Teacher Vitaly and future musician Galina Valentinovna Aite
How about taking a group photo with Man?"
This little joke immediately made the children laugh and generously agreed to the request to take a group photo.
"Victor, we wrote a letter to Kena, can you send it to her when you have time?"
While the children were busy taking their seats, Laishia and Oujia approached Wei Ran, who was busy lighting the carbide lamp, and handed a stack of extra thick triangular letter paper to Wei Ran.
"And this, we saved it from dinner last night." Ou Jia said as he handed a worker's lunch box to Wei Ran.
Curiously, he opened the lunch box, but was stunned. What it contained were five boiled potatoes that were only as big as eggs.
"These five were saved by Alexander and the others." Ou Jia looked at Wei Ran hopefully and asked cautiously, "Can you send them to sister Ke Na? We are worried that she won't have enough to eat."
"Yes... of course!"
Wei Ran came back to his senses, quickly closed the lid, and put the envelope into his pocket, "I'll mail it out for you after I finish taking the group photo!"
"Thanks!"
The two girls thanked them in unison, turned around, and happily stood side by side with their new classmates.
After the children gathered the wounded soldier Vitaly in the middle, Wei Ran also adjusted the brightness of the carbide lamp to the maximum, and then raised the camera to show these children with sweet smiles and the wounded Soviet Union
Red Army soldiers took a group photo.
"Crack!"
With the unusually clear sound of the shutter, Wei Ran's vision was filled with white light. Immediately afterwards, he noticed the chill that could not be ignored around him, as well as the biting cold wind coming from the pavement.
Blinking his eyes hard, when his vision returned to normal, the first thing he saw was the gorgeous aurora above his head.
Looking around again, he realized that he was sitting on a horse-drawn sledge. In addition to himself, there was a thin shadow on the left driving animals, and behind him were two wounded people leaning against each other.
In the middle of the four people, there is an iron bucket emitting charcoal fire.
Moving his gaze further around, he could see a red light every not far away. Only when the sledge came closer did he notice that those red lights were hung on the waists of the soldiers.
These soldiers were both male and female, but they were generally young and all wore skis.
Is this the ice road on Lake Ladoga?
Just when Wei Ran came back to his senses, beams of light suddenly appeared in the night sky far away, followed closely by the loud noise of dense anti-aircraft guns firing, and the sound of volleys of fire in the night sky.
The fireball exploded from the exploding plane.
Almost at the same time, the red lights began to flash at a very fast speed and began to move laterally. And the sledge that Weiran was riding on also immediately moved laterally in the opposite direction to those red lights!
"Hurry up and cover the charcoal fire! Put on the camouflage cloth!" The thin figure sitting next to Wei Ran shouted anxiously.
Hearing this, Wei Ran looked around and immediately picked up an iron cover to cover the charcoal fire. Then he untied the white sheet tied to the armrest and covered himself, the wounded behind him and even the entire sledge.
Before he could fasten the white sheet, the sledge also stopped. The thin figure also ordered the mule to lie down and covered it tightly with a piece of canvas.
After a while, Wei Ran could already hear the roar of the plane, and the red lights that were getting further away were extinguished one after another.
Amidst the whistling wind and the aurora in the night sky, the confrontation between ground anti-aircraft fire and fighter jets became more and more fierce. From time to time, Weiran could see a burning aircraft smashing straight into the ground, or in a scary way.
Amidst the sound of whistles, the fire exploded in the far distance, and the slowly landing flares dropped by the planes.
Compared to the battlefield above where he was completely powerless, Wei Ran finally recognized from the bright light released by the flares above his head and from the shout just now that the man next to him who was responsible for controlling the animals turned out to be the young man Kai Lai whom he had saved with honey.
