On March 12, Wei Ran drove alone with his dog back to his home on the shores of Kaban Lake.
Compared with Murmansk, where you can still see the aurora and have long nights, the temperature in Kazan has reached above zero, and today is a rare sunny day.
However, before he had time to drive the car through the gate, he saw from a distance a series of clotheslines pulled up in the yard, and the ropes were covered with sheets, quilts and various washing clothes.
The good clothes and even the blanket that Beria often lay on were hung on the clothesline.
And among the clotheslines, you can still vaguely see Auntie and Suisui walking back and forth with basins of washed clothes, as well as the Katenka sisters who are busy following them, and even the two little girls Lu Xinda and Lola.
girl.
"Don't you have to work today?"
After Wei Ran drove the car into the yard, he curiously asked Suisui, who was wearing an apron and working.
“originally used”
Suisui said pitifully, "Then after my mother discovered that the sofa cover was dirty, we didn't have to work anymore. Now the three washing machines upstairs and downstairs are all spewing sparks, so they have to put us in to wash them again."
"
"What are you talking about?"
Aunt Zhou Shujin came over and touched the back of her daughter's head, and asked Wei Ran angrily, "Did your uncle buy those dead people?"
"Bought"
Wei Ran said as he took out his suitcase, "But my uncle has prepared a gift for you."
"what?"
Zhou Shujin looked at Wei Ran's suitcase suspiciously, but Suisui had already put down the washbasin filled with clothes and couldn't wait to help open the suitcase.
"Wait a moment, wait a moment."
Wei Ran stopped the other party, "Don't worry, I have to deal with this gift first before I can show it to you."
“mysterious”
Zhou Shujin shook her head dumbfounded, but she suppressed her curiosity, "Don't worry about gifts or anything. Go and change clothes. Remember to take out the dirty clothes in the box and wash them. Also, hurry up and take this broken dog with you."
I also went to take a shower, the smell was so bad that it choked my nose."
With such an aunt who loves cleanliness and doesn't like small animals very much, Wei Ran has to obey orders obediently even if it's his own. Under Suisui's helpless and gloating gaze, he kills the dog Belia.
Entered the bathroom he least likes to go to.
When he finally washed and dried the cursing Beria and himself, the big table on the first floor was also filled with all kinds of Chinese dishes.
After having lunch with her aunt, Suisui, and Suisui's employees and followers, she reported the professor's findings and expected gains. Suisui took the employees and her mother to the office in the next courtyard and started busy with her work.
, Weiran also pushed the suitcase and took Beria into the basement.
First, he opened the several lunch boxes he brought back and placed the cameras, lenses and gasoline stoves in random places. Then he began to process the sealed film canisters.
If these films have been developed into negatives, they can naturally be stored for a longer period of time. However, if they have only been photographed but not developed in time, whether they can be preserved is really a matter of luck.
Fortunately, perhaps because the storage environment was relatively stable enough, I took out the films one by one. Although some of them were indeed scrapped, a considerable part of them were still intact, and several of them had been developed and were not afraid of exposure to light at all.
.
As the photos were developed, Wei Ran unexpectedly discovered that what these black and white lenses recorded seemed to be individual photos of individual guerrillas and group photos of them.
In those individual photos, although each guerrilla was dressed differently, their eyes were determined and they had bright smiles on their faces that seemed to dispel the darkness of the polar night.
But the people in the group photo are always changing. Occasionally there will be one or two less, and occasionally there will be one or two more. When the number of people in the group photo becomes smaller, the faces of the people in the group photo are all the same serious. When new faces appear,
, everyone’s faces were filled with enthusiasm and joy.
In addition to these photos, he also saw Regina in the photos that were developed later. She was holding an SVT38 semi-automatic rifle wrapped in cloth strips of animal skin and pine branches, sitting on a dog sled, and there were still clothes on her legs.
Covered with a thick, heavy but extremely warm moose skin blanket.
There are many similar photos, most of which were taken by guerrillas while fighting and resting.
In addition to these photos of the guerrillas, there are also several landscape photos mixed in. These photos record not only the dim, cold and desperate ice and snow fields, but also steam trains running on the railway, and even a ship.
A cargo ship is loading and unloading supplies, as well as soldiers wearing US military uniforms waving their hats.
In those short three months, she probably took pictures every day. It must have been the most exciting experience in her life...
Wei Ran looked absently at the photo papers waiting to be dried on the drying line, then turned around and left the darkroom and walked into a room next door.
This empty room is usually specially prepared by Wei Ran for wiping and maintaining the props in the metal notebooks. The layout inside is similar to that of the time studio in Volgograd. It is surrounded by long tables attached to the wall, on which are placed
There are various tools that can be used or may be used, and in the middle is a long table that is large enough for eight girls to lie down side by side.
He took out the oversized telescope and tripod from the suitcase and placed it on the long table. Wei Ran put on an apron and took out a set of tools that he had bought specifically to learn how to repair old-fashioned cameras. He carefully disassembled the oversized telescope.
It became a part of a table.
Throwing all the parts except optical parts such as lenses and prisms into the ultrasonic cleaning machine, he left the basement carrying the rusty metal shell and tripod, and found an idle gangster.
Take out a sum of money and send him to help find a car repair shop to remove rust and spray paint on these things.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Naturally, this little bastard cannot be troubled by this little thing, so he cleaned and wiped almost all the parts including the optical part in the sanitary ignition.
When it was cleaned and reassembled with the help of the inert gas operating box in Anfisa's laboratory, the painted casing and tripod were sent back, as well as the refurbished leather forehead pillow.
.
After reassembling these things, Wei Ran packed them into his suitcase, turned around and started to work again to send the electronic version of the negatives to the professor's mailbox.
By the time all these tasks were completed, it was already dark outside the basement, and the office upstairs had already finished get off work. However, the long table on the first floor of the house next door was once again filled with food.
And just like at noon, in addition to the permanent members of the family, the seven Hela girls who came here to work under the guise of international students were also included.
"Auntie, the gift that the professor asked me to bring back is ready." Wei Ran looked at the clear moon in the night sky, put his suitcase at the door and greeted.
"What gift?" Zhou Shujin, who was about to invite everyone to dinner, asked with some anticipation.
Hearing this, Wei Ran did not explain. He just asked Suisui to help open the largest suitcase. Then he set up the tripod spray-painted with white paint on the grass in front of the door, and set up the large telescope on it.
above, and pointed it at the moon hanging in the night sky through the sight on the telescope.
"My father will definitely win this one," Suisui tiptoed close to Wei Ran's ear and whispered.
"How to say?"
"In the past, when my mother was a prostitute, the most shipped items to China from here were telescopes. My father got them from his friends in Petersburg." Suisui explained in Wei Ran's ear,
"Just watch, Lafayette must be very happy now."
As expected, Zhou Shujin just went to the eyepiece and took a look and said with satisfaction, "Go and bring me a chair, Suisui, go and get my coat. You don't have to wait for me to eat first. I'll look at the moon for a while."
"
"Let's see"
Suisui gestured silently, ran back to the room, fetched the mink coat and helped put it on. Wei Ran also moved a chair over like a fool and lowered the tripod.
Not to mention the height, he even took the initiative to light a bonfire next to it.
There was no need to say hello at all. The girls who had planned to have a serious meal all gathered around the campfire with one plate and another, taking turns to use the telescope to admire the moon hanging in the sky while chatting.
It was during the chat that Wei Ran finally asked in a subtle way that the reason for returning to Volgograd in a few days was to move.
However, the house that had to be helped to move was not the home of my aunt and Alexei or Mr. Nicholas, but the home of Sui Xin's parents.
"Sui Xin and her parents are going back to China?" Wei Ran looked at Suisui in surprise, "You mean you won't live in Russia anymore?"
"Didn't you notice that Sui Xin wasn't here?" Suisui asked helplessly.
"I found out. I thought she went to Petersburg to perform in a performance again." Wei Ran paused after saying, "That's great, why does she want to go back? Are you two having a conflict?"
"What kind of conflict can Sui Xin and I have?"
Suisui rolled her eyes and finally explained the reason, "Sui Xin has a boyfriend. At the invitation of her boyfriend, she decided to return to China for development. By the way, she was sent to the company of the classmates I partnered with.
Supervisor."
"Wait, she has a boyfriend?" Wei Ran became more and more curious, "How come I haven't heard of this?"
"You forget to feed Beria every day, what else do you know?"
Suisui rolled her eyes, and then asked enthusiastically, "Who do you think her boyfriend is? You must know him!"
"Do I know him?" Wei Ran was stunned and asked subconsciously, "Is it Greva?"
"G...why didn't you guess it was Uncle Culp?"
Suisui patted her forehead and said, "It's my classmate, Chen Luoxiang, Chen Guangling, Chen Luoxiang, the son of Teacher Chen."
"who?!"
Wei Ran's eyes widened, but then he showed a look of realization. Sui Xin had been in contact with Chen Guangling and his son when he was assassinated and returned to the country to seek refuge. Now she and Chen Luoxiang are together.
It's not too surprising.
It's just that...these two people have done a better job of keeping secrets?
But when I think about the dull temper of my cheap junior brother Chen Luoxiang who can't get anything out of him, all this seems to make sense.
"Chen Luoxiang"
Suisui repeated it again, "Anyway, that's what happened. I only got the news the day before yesterday."
"So from now on, their family..."
"Your Uncle Sui and his wife took down the store next to the travel agency run by your parents and opened an imported supermarket."
Aunt Zhou Shujin, who had been showing the moon just now, helped explain, "The couple also got tired of staying at Maozi's place, and Xinxin found a boyfriend in China, so they decided to return to their roots."
"Coming back with Sui Xin, there is also Lola's sister Korava." Suisui suddenly said in her native language.
"What's she doing with you?" Wei Ran became more and more confused.
“After all, the medical conditions in China are much better than here.”
Aunt Zhou Shujin also explained in her native language, "It would be a good thing if the little girl's brain can be cured."
"And I can rest assured that Sui Xin will take care of Lola."
Suisui added helpfully, "Teacher Chen not only found an expert for Korava, but also found an expert for Sui Xin to see if she still has a chance to stand up."
"Although it is indeed a good thing, the confidentiality work is also done very well."
Wei Ran couldn't help but murmured that if Suisui hadn't told him, he really wouldn't have received any news at all.
Suisui spread her hands and said, "I didn't get any news before."
"So when are we leaving for Volgograd?" Wei Ran simply asked the core question.
"I asked the card girl to buy tickets in the afternoon," Suisui answered first, "There will be a flight tomorrow morning."
“There’s actually nothing to move.”
The aunt took over the topic and explained, "Lao Sui has already packed everything he needs to take back home in containers and put it on the train. The main purpose is to go back and have a meal with his family."
After having dinner while chatting on this topic, Wei Ran and Suisui returned to their room and immediately got busy with other more important things.
In the blink of an eye, the next morning, when the two of them finally came out of the room, the other girls who were going to Volgograd with them had already pushed their luggage to the first floor.
Entrusting the three pets at home to the wizard Samantha to help take care of them, the group rushed to the airport and took a flight to Volgograd.
However, when a group of them walked out of the pick-up gate, they found that in addition to Sui Xin and her parents who were sitting in a wheelchair, there were also Chen Luoxiang, who was pushing the wheelchair, and Chen Luoxiang, who was waiting outside early.
Chen Guangling and his wife standing side by side with Sui Xin's parents!
This has already fast forwarded to the meeting of parents?
Wei Ran and Suisui looked at each other in astonishment. Neither of them expected that Sui Xin and Chen Luoxiang would make such rapid progress!
