In the hinterland of Lake Onega, on the edge of a small peninsula fishing village deep in the center of the lake, the setting sun dyes the land covered with a layer of fresh snow into a dazzling golden color.
Amid the laughter of many young people, Beria, the dog with sleek fur, was the first to run out of the forest.
Behind it, the snowmobile driven by Ninel slowly ran out, dragging a sleigh loaded with prey.
Immediately afterwards, Chen Luoxiang also drove a snowmobile and followed slowly with Sui Xin sitting behind him. There were several pairs of beautiful antlers on the bucket towed behind the motorcycle.
Behind the first two sleighs, several girls were walking and chatting while carrying various shotguns. Behind them, Wei Ran was driving another borrowed snowmobile, dragging a bucketful of various camping equipment.
Follow slowly.
This is already the fifth day that they have been guests at Ivan's house. On the day they arrived, everyone rested at Ivan's house for a night.
In the next two days, Olena took her on a fishing boat driven by Wei Ran and rushed to Petrozavodsk, a small border town where a historian helped sell fish.
Olga, Sui Xin and Chen Luoxiang, who rushed back from the train, returned to this small fishing village.
This is not over yet. Yesterday evening, these energetic young people each picked up their shotguns, brought enough camping equipment, drove the snowmobile that Ivan helped borrow, and ran to a beautiful red maple deep in the forest.
Lin camped for one night and caught a lot of prey by the way.
There are hares that make the Katenka sisters salivate, small wild boars that the dog Belia bites and refuses to let go, and various antlers collected by Chen Luoxiang that Chen Luoxiang loves to death, as well as a large piece of
The so-called "lightning-strike wood" that he personally cut from an unknown dead tree.
This young man with a slightly introverted personality had already made up his mind to find a way to use this piece of wood to cut two guqins with his own hands when he returned home, as gifts for his senior brother Wei Ran, who had taken good care of him, and Suisui, who was half a matchmaker.
Even Lola, who has been eating and drinking with Suisui, is extremely happy, because in the past few days, her genius sister Korava has been talking a lot and even recited a complete song "Hoeing Day" to everyone.
At noon".
Correspondingly, Lu Xinda, who has been working hard at learning Russian, is not so happy. After all, even Korava has outdone her, which makes this little adult girl feel a little embarrassed.
But overall, it was a holiday that was extremely enjoyable for everyone.
As she watched the car drive into the yard of Ivan's house, Suisui handed the shotgun to Marta for help, and turned to wink at Wei Ran who had just parked the car.
After getting the hint, the two of them walked towards the lighthouse at the dock of this small fishing village in tacit agreement.
"Have you thought about it? We should go back early tomorrow morning." Suisui asked as she walked.
"Think about it"
Wei Ran nodded, "Let's wait until we go back. We'll visit that island on the way back."
Hearing this, Suisui nodded, "No matter what comes out of the investigation, I will find a way to let the authorities vigorously publicize it."
"You won't show up this time?"
Wei Ran asked with a smile. In the past few days, he finally made up his mind to help investigate what happened on the island.
Objectively speaking, he really needs to appear in front of the lens of this foreign country with a positive and positive image.
Subjectively, he did look forward to having the opportunity to see those brave young people again... no, brave children.
"I won't show up anymore, I'm a businessman."
Suisui said in a particularly sober tone, "When a businessman like me appears in this kind of news, it will change the taste of many things."
"It would be a pity not to take the public examination for your sensitivity," Wei Ran joked with a smile.
"I have no interest in being an official at all."
Suisui snorted, and then said firmly, "No matter what you investigate this time, you will become the honorary consultant of the Life Road Museum."
"Honorary advisor?"
Wei Ran raised his eyebrows, "Is this Teacher Dalia's promise?"
"This is my promise"
Suisui replied confidently, "This can only be regarded as a small guarantee. If something extraordinary is found, there may be other honorary titles."
"You and the officer..."
“So be it”
Suisui nodded, "I have expressed my stance, and they should give me an attitude that is satisfactory to me."
"When did you, a little businessman, become so stubborn?" Wei Ran teased with a smile.
"My mother said it"
Suisui became more confident, "The worst case scenario is that we will withdraw all our investment, even the factory that made the crappy toy drones will be out of stock, and we will all go back to China for development."
Besides, what happened to the small businessman?
Now there are at least thousands of people counting on me for food. If the safety of my own men cannot be guaranteed, then don’t blame me for smashing the pot, and everyone will be hungry together!"
Hearing this, Wei Ran could only give a thumbs up with sincerity. Over the years, this little girl Suisui has become a strong woman, even better than a certain strong woman from the previous generation.
"There's one more thing it's good for you to know."
Suisui stopped and lowered her voice, "Russia's business is the largest, but our business with Kou Kou is also not small."
"What should I say?" Wei Ran became interested, and as the other party waved his little hand as a signal, he lowered his head slightly and put his ear close to her.
“That castle hotel and ski resort in Austria makes as much money as Inta”
Suisui said almost close to Wei Ran's ear, "If it's bright in the east, it's bright in the west. Kou Kou and I have been thinking about making money together. How can these Russian leeks make as much money as bulk European leeks? Just watch, and then
Wait two years, and that’s where the bulk of the money will be.”
"What about this side?" Wei Ran asked curiously.
“It’s easy to talk here”
Suisui became interested and simply asked Wei Ran to find a step by the roadside to sit down and said, "In two years, I plan to leave all the work of the studio to Marta, and leave all the tourist business to Lola and Lu Xinda.
.”
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "They? Can they do it?"
“What’s wrong?”
Suisui said confidently, "Now all three of them are working for me as assistants, and a lot of work is left to them. Anyway, I don't want to be Zhuge Liang.
Once they are trained, the bulk business in Europe will probably be about the same. By then, I guess Kou Kou will be brought out as well, and we will return to China by then."
"Why are you going back to China?" Wei Ran asked happily.
"Farming! Raising pigs!"
Suisui confidently extended her hand and gestured, "I have made a five-year plan. Within five years, they all have to support themselves. If they can't support themselves, I will die of exhaustion?"
"So we will return to China in five years?" When Wei Ran asked this question, his attitude became more serious.
"At least that's my plan for now."
Suisui nodded, and after a moment of hesitation, she said, "Let's just say it first, I don't plan to get married. Besides, the last sentence was my mother's idea."
"Why is this?" Wei Ran was stunned for a moment. Speaking of which, the two of them had never discussed this topic.
“What difference does it make whether it’s knotted or not?”
"No difference?" Wei Ran thought for a while, "It seems there is no difference."
“Actually there is a bit of a difference”
Suisui patted her chest and said, "Without that certificate, you are Chinese and I am Russian in the legal sense. No one else can find any fault with our relationship. Legally, our relationship is relatively close at most.
Having a business partner makes it much easier to do many things.”
"Is this your plan to raise such a big brood of beautiful girls around me?" Wei Ran asked helplessly.
"Hehe! Anyway, just listen to me, I'm playing a big game of chess!"
Suisui patted Wei Ran on the shoulder proudly, "Let's go back! And don't tell anyone what you just said."
"Don't worry, I'll keep my mouth shut." Wei Ran assured him, patting his chest.
Returning to Ivan's house, the Katenka sisters, Marta, who was a field doctor, and Lu Xinda, who was a nurse, and even Ivan, who was also a field medic, and even her wife Yana and son-in-law Nineel...
Everyone was already using various knives to break down the prey they had brought back.
Thanks to the long-term eating habits they have developed with Wei Ran and Suisui, these girls have a special liking for various animal offal.
So there was no need to say hello, they just cleaned out the various large intestines, small intestines and internal organs in a familiar way.
Sui Xin, in particular, called Chen Luoxiang for help and took out two large bags of hot pot bases of various flavors from her suitcase.
It is gratifying to say that during the time when she and Chen Luoxiang lived together after returning to China, Sui Xin, who usually worked for Suisui, and Korava, who was taken care of by her, were both insisting on rehabilitation training.
Now not only is Korava able to speak many complete sentences, but he has also learned several ancient Chinese poems from Chen Guangling and his wife, and even Sui Xin's legs have gained some strength.
According to Chen Luoxiang, she might have a chance to stand up in a few years.
While everyone was busy, stoves were set up one after another in the yard of Ivan's family, and various professionally decomposed game meats were either put into the oven or into the oil pan, and various kinds of offal skewered,
It was also thrown into the spicy and fragrant soup pot.
Even deer hooves, pig legs, rabbit heads, pig tails, etc., which Ivan's family rarely eat, were thrown into the stew prepared by Wei Ran in advance and stewed in a large pressure cooker found from nowhere.
Cooking.
On this beautiful night when only wild animals were injured, a room full of men, women, and children was enjoying themselves.
In the blink of an eye, as soon as it dawned the next morning, Ivan safely handed over the key to the fishing boat to Wei Ran and watched him drive the fishing boat with the girls headed by Suisui, as well as Dalia and Ole.
Na, left the pier in the falling snowflakes.
Amidst the roar of the engine, this Soviet-era patrol boat left Lake Onega, passed through the canal that was about to freeze completely, and returned to the surface of Lake Ladoga against increasingly heavy snowflakes.
"I'll go to the island to have a look later and I'll be back soon." Wei Ran, who was in charge of driving the boat, said loudly, "You can just wait on the boat then."
"Don't you need us to accompany you?" Suisui responded loudly.
"Need not"
Wei Ran waved his hand, "I'm just going to confirm the details and take a few photos. I'll be back in ten minutes at most."
"Don't go to that cemetery"
Teacher Dalia reminded, "There might be a lot of explosives in there."
"I just went to see that anti-aircraft gun"
As Wei Ran said, he had already slowed down the speed of the boat, and it slowly came to a stop at the temporary dock of the small island, "Just wait on the boat."
After saying that, he got out of the cab, set up the gangplank alone, and tied the cable with Olena's help, and then quickly ran towards the tent that could be seen at a glance.
Before getting into the tent, Wei Ran looked back at the direction of the temporary dock, waved to Suisui who had emerged from the cabin in the wind and snow, and waited until the other party waved in response, then turned around and got into the tent.
In the tent that could only block the wind and snow but had no warmth, Wei Ran once again looked at the broken anti-aircraft artillery, at the red five-pointed stars painted on the gun mantlet, and the phrase "born in
The Russian version of "Pointing out troops and generals" in the flames of war.
"So do we still have a chance to meet..."
Wei Ran murmured in his heart, and at the same time he inspected every part of the tent with great caution.
After confirming that there was no monitoring equipment, he took out a note written in advance from his pocket and stuck it on his arm. Then he took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and took out the metal book.
