"Do you want to tell your family?" Wei Ran asked, looking at the ceiling on the soft big bed in the hotel.
"Let's not talk about it for now..." The sleepy Suisui turned over, "At least wait until after graduation."
"Then don't say it." Just when Wei Ran was about to say something more, there was a knock on the door.
"It's time." Outside the door, Katenka glanced at Suisui playfully and asked with a smile, "Would you like me to help you put on makeup first? We have to buy some Christmas gifts later."
"I'll take a shower first," Suisui said and yawned, "I'll find you after I finish taking a shower."
"No problem," Katenka said, then glanced at Wei Ran without leaving a trace, then turned and walked towards his room.
"Is she really just a translator?" Suisui couldn't help but ask in a low voice after closing the door.
"Otherwise?" Wei Ran spread his hands and asked playfully, "Do you want to wash it together?"
"Pervert" Suisui rolled her eyes, took out a set of clothes from the suitcase and went into the bathroom.
When there was a splash of water in the bathroom, Wei Ran, who had been smiling playfully just now, quickly took out the food box from the metal book, took out the 60,000 US dollars that had been placed in it in advance, and put it in the one he had prepared when he came in.
In handbag.
According to his original plan, he or Katenka would find an opportunity to have a relatively minor car accident with the other party as compensation, or simply throw it into the other party's yard on a dark and windy night.
But at present, it is obviously unrealistic to do so, and he can only see if he can find an opportunity while spending Christmas with the other party.
After Suisui finished taking a bath, she went to find Katenka next door. Weiran also got into the bathroom, took a bath, and changed into casual clothes. By the way, before the former came back, he quickly checked the contents of the metal book.
weapons.
At 5:30 in the evening, a group of three people left the hotel. It must be said that although Katenka's dressing sense and hair style were a little worse, her makeup skills were indeed good. At least Suisui, a mixed-race girl, was wearing a golden wig.
After that, it seemed that he was more inclined to the Slavic half of his body.
As for Katenka, this girl who is obviously very good-looking is still dressed as she was in the afternoon, but the makeup on her face looks more refined.
Following the two girls on the street for nearly an hour, when they finally stopped a taxi and decided to visit Mrs. Uma's family, Wei Ran already had a set of Lego toys and two bottles of the same medicine in his hands.
Vodka as a souvenir.
Before getting off the bus, the three of them checked their roles again in Russian. They waited until the car stopped, Weiran paid the fare, and Katenka once again put on the pair of myopia glasses with shooting functions.
, and also stuffed a voice recorder into his cuff.
When the three of them got out of the car, Mrs. Uma, his son Makar, and Jessica holding the child also came out.
"Mrs. Uma, we meet again."
Katenka first said hello in Russian, handed the set of Lego toys she bought before to Makar, and then changed to English with a strong accent and said to Jessica, "This is for Gore."
Man’s Christmas gift, I hope he likes it.”
"Thanks--!"
Jessica thanked him with a long voice and a look of surprise on her face. While speaking, she held the human cub also named Gorman and waved her little fist.
"they are my friends"
Katenka said, introducing Suisui and Wei Ran one by one, and Wei Ran also handed the two bottles of vodka in his hand to Makar, who had just fist bumped with him.
After a brief exchange of greetings, Mrs. Uma greeted everyone back to the house and took them directly to the dining table.
"This is an unbelievable day for me," Mrs. Uma said happily. "I didn't expect to have two new friends from my hometown come to visit me during Christmas. This is simply the best Christmas gift.
"
"Mom, the best Christmas gift is this."
As Makar spoke, he had already opened a bottle of vodka brought by Wei Ran and poured a glass for the old lady sitting at the head table.
"Vodka needs to be drunk with Slavs to taste good"
The old lady Uma held up the wine glass with emotion, "Come on, young people, let me have a drink and wish you a Merry Christmas!"
"Merry Christmas!" Everyone sitting around the table raised their glasses or drank their juice.
After a glass of wine, the last bit of unfamiliarity between everyone was broken, and the red-haired girl named Jessica also started to share meals with everyone with the help of Makar.
It can be seen that this Christmas, which is nearly half a month late for Americans, is entirely to make Mrs. Uma happy. Not only are all the Russian dishes on the table, even the TV set not far away is adjusted.
Came to a Russian channel.
While eating, everyone also found topics. Katenka chatted in English with Jessica sitting opposite, while Suisui asked Mrs. Uma curiously.
Xi, as for Wei Ran, frequently toasted with Makar on the opposite side.
"I heard from Karenina that you went to see the crater in the afternoon?" Makar asked Wei Ran, who was sitting opposite, in proficient Russian while holding a wine glass.
"Indeed, we originally wanted to try our luck and see if we could find a few meteorites as souvenirs." Wei Ran said with regret, "Unfortunately, although there are many stones, the meteorites were not found at all, or we
I have found them, but unfortunately I can’t tell the difference between them and ordinary stones.”
"Things like that are not that easy to find."
Makar said and drank all the vodka in the cup, then stood up and said, "Wait for me."
"He wants to show off his treasures again." Jessica shook her head helplessly.
"What baby?" Katenka asked curiously.
"You'll find out later." Before Jessica could finish her words, Makar had already taken down a tin box from the fireplace not far away, opened it and handed it to Wei Ran.
Looking at the large and small black stones inside, Wei Ran asked in surprise, "Are these meteorites?"
Makar nodded proudly and took out an acorn-sized black stone from it and handed it to Wei Ran. At the same time, he said generously, "These were found on the farm run by my friends and I. I'll give this one to you."
Give it to you as a souvenir and Christmas gift!”
"Thanks!"
An expression of surprise appeared on Wei Ran's face. He held the ordinary black stone handed over and looked at it over and over. Suisui, who was sitting next to him, also snatched it away with great dexterity.
, with a happy face showing that this trip was not in vain,
With the help of the iron box meteorite, Wei Ran brought the topic to the other party's farm. However, during the chat with Makar, he learned that the farm he and his friends ran had made a lot of money in the past one or two years.
problem, and the root of the problem turned out to be the overpopulation of hares and wild boars.
“Will these things cause a lot of trouble on the farm?”
Wei Ran asked with a confused look on his face. He had never been to a farm, and the two animals the other party just mentioned made him think first of whether he should put more chili pepper or more cumin.
'Almost devastating'
Makar said helplessly, "Those holes dug by hares are easy for our cattle and horses to step in and cause fractures. This fall alone, four horses on the farm broke their legs. Even my friends and I almost broke our legs."
The child was injured as a result.”
"Where's the wild boar?" Wei Ran continued to ask curiously, picking up the wine bottle and filling up the other person's glass.
"They're even more troublesome."
Makar picked up the cup and clinked it with Wei Ran, raised his head and drank it all before continuing, "Those idiots will break down the fence and destroy the pasture. Even the crops we grow will be destroyed by them like bombers."
It’s like it’s been fried.”
"Isn't this Texas?" Katenka, who had been chatting with Jessica just now, also joined the conversation, "With the gun culture here, there should be a lot of hunters, right?"
"You have absolutely no idea how terrifying the reproductive capabilities of wild boars and hares are."
Makar put a spoonful of beef stew in cream into his mouth and complained with a grimace, "Besides, it's useless even if we kill them all. The wild boars and rabbits from the surrounding farms will soon migrate over."
Before Wei Ran could say anything, Suisui, who was a great assistant, seemed to have smelled something and asked proactively, "Makar, can we go to your farm for a few days?"
"To our farm?"
Makar was stunned for a moment, and then said enthusiastically, "Of course! We will go back to the farm early tomorrow morning. If you are interested, you can follow us then. However, our farm has a lot of work, so we may not have time to accompany you then.
But at least we will provide you with food and accommodation."
"Do you know where I can buy jeans?" Suisui asked enthusiastically, "The kind in Western movies, the kind with spurs on the boots."
"Like Karenina said, this is Texas." Mrs. Uma joked, "Even if you go to the bakery, you can probably buy jeans. I guess you are going to take pictures?"
"It's my first time in Texas. I've long wanted to wear cowboy clothes and ride a horse to take pictures like in the western movies. It's better to have two revolvers!" Suisui said with a longing look on her wrist, turning her head to face Wei again.
Ran asked, "Shall we go buy some sets of jeans tomorrow?"
"What are you doing? Are you really just taking pictures?" Wei Ran simply switched to Chinese and asked the girl next to him suspiciously in a low voice.
"Of course it's to make money!"
Suisui, with gleaming eyes, responded in a low voice, switched to Russian again and continued chatting with Mrs. Uma about the difficult situation the other party faced when they first moved here.
"It's just money-losing..."
Wei Ran muttered to himself, picked up his wine glass and touched it with Makar, who was also not taking it seriously. He continued to chat with him about the farm's harvest, the Ford pickup truck that was being sold, and even the people who ran the farm with him.
How delicious is the chicken taco made by that Mexican friend?
