On the second day after arriving in Hawaii, Wei Ran, accompanied by Katenka, once again boarded the sightseeing yacht Time Lapse.
Even if the other party gave me a 50% discount, renting this yacht was still not cheap.
But correspondingly, the services provided by these four old men who enjoyed their retirement life early were indeed worth the price, so Wei Ran felt at ease that he had been taken advantage of.
Although Wei Ran only splashed in the swimming pool when he was at the Hongqi Forest Farm, he at least learned to dive from Culp, so he had a great time at the end of the day.
From relatively simple snorkeling, to deep diving where you can almost touch those beautiful corals with your hand, to fish caught from the sea by hand under Turner's guidance, and even at dusk, the whale turns into a fountain under the setting sun.
There was also a seafood feast prepared by the black man Dooley for the two of them, all of which were highly praised by Wei Ran and Katenka who ate, drank and played.
It wasn't until the crescent moon rose in the night sky that Wei Ran and Katenka waved goodbye to the four handsome old men, left the dock and got into the car.
"Remember to send this photo album back to Makar when you have time, and have him send it to the gun shop with other things. Remember not to let him mention us." Wei Ran took it out of his backpack before the other party started the car.
photo album in a brown paper bag.
"No problem, I'll rush there tomorrow." Katenka took the paper bag from Wei Ran as he spoke.
"And this," Wei Ran said, taking out another file bag from his bag and handing it to the other party.
"What is this?" Katenka subconsciously took the file bag.
Wei Ran smiled and said, "Thank you for traveling to Hawaii with me, and you are paying for the air tickets and hotels these days, so I have to show my appreciation."
Hearing this, Katenka opened the file bag unceremoniously, and then raised his eyebrows in surprise.
This file bag contains five stacks of euros. Judging from the thickness and the denomination of the top banknote, this stack is estimated to be 10,000 euros.
The money was nothing to Katenka, but she could get a bonus of 50,000 euros just for accompanying her boss on a trip to Hawaii, which made her subconsciously consider whether she was hinting at something behind this.
The first thing she thought of was how Weiran bypassed customs and brought so much cash to Hawaii.
Bringing it here in person? That is simply impossible. Whether it was when she picked up the plane in Texas or later when she flew to Hawaii, she was personally responsible for all the procedures during the entire process. If Weihan really brought such a
If you have more money, she already knows.
In other words, the money could only have been brought to Wei Ran by others and handed over to him under his own nose.
But if this is the case, it just means that my translation is not necessary at all, and even this trip to Hawaii does not seem to be necessary!
So does he want to hint to himself that even "Katenko" is not necessary for him? Hint that as long as he obeys orders and acts, even if he just goes out for recreation, he will be rewarded?
Thinking of this, Katenka couldn't help but break out in cold sweat. She had to consider whether Wei Ran's giving of the cash to her at this time was really just a bonus, or was it out of some kind of warning. But no matter she
No matter how much I think about it, I can only come to the conclusion that the latter possibility seems to be more likely!
"What are you thinking about?"
Wei Ran, who had been staring at the yacht in the distance just now, saw that Katenka was in a daze, and couldn't help but wave his hand in front of her.
Compared to Katenko, who was frightened by his random thoughts, the reason why Weiran gave a bonus to his only employee was actually very simple. In fact, he had already prepared it in his food box before setting off from Kazan.
this bonus.
The reason is that although Katenka sent Makar's neighbor to jail without even saying hello last time and secretly monitored Amanda, he was really shocked.
But after all, she also helped, and after she rushed over, she also warned those who should have been warned, and the other party also realized the mistake and made a guarantee, so naturally the sweet dates had to be arranged immediately.
Although the sweet dates worth 50,000 euros were indeed so big that it made him feel a little painful, Wei Ran himself also knew that if he really wanted to give the other party 10,000 to 20,000 euros, it would be better not to give them at all.
"No, it's nothing! It's just a surprise that you actually gave me a bonus. I was just joking before." Katenko suppressed the fear in her heart, put the hot bonus aside in a hurry, and started
After getting in the car, we drove to the hotel where we stayed yesterday.
It wasn't until she watched Wei Ran walk into the room that Katenka entered her own room holding the photo album in one hand and the bag of bonuses in the other. She hurriedly opened the computer she brought with her, tapping on the keyboard, sharing
I was thinking about my guesses and asking for useful opinions at the same time, so much so that I forgot to follow the agreement with Suisui to give him all the photos I took today.
Wei Ran, who had no idea that he had succeeded in scaring his employees with bonuses, looked relaxed at this time. Although the money spent on this trip to the United States was far more than what Suisui could earn on this trip, he still felt extra special
I was so happy that I completely ignored the small problem of how Katianka should bring the cash back.
In addition, the descendants of those friends who have passed away are living quite well. Even if there is no chance to relieve this burden through Guqin Yaoguang, it has been relieved a lot at this time.
He took out his harmonica again and played the song filled with too many memories. Wei Ran couldn't help but hum the lyrics adapted by Will in his heart.
Early on the third day after arriving in Hawaii, Weiran was escorted off by Katenka and boarded the flight to Kazan.
Watching Weiran's flight take off smoothly, Katenka let out a long sigh, then took out his mobile phone and promptly informed Suisui of Weiran's itinerary.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! After landing, taking off and landing again and again, Weiran finally landed safely at Kazan Airport.
When he drove the car back to his house on the shore of Lake Kaban, not surprisingly, Gorman, who had received the news in advance, was already waiting for him at the door.
"Why don't you go in?" Wei Ran asked as he stepped on the brakes.
"How can I get in if the door is locked?" Gorman said angrily with a cigarette in his mouth.
"Can that broken lock stop you?" Wei Ran shook his head and handed the door key to the other party through the car window.
"I'm a civilized person." Gorman took the key, opened the door, opened the car door and got in, making it clear that he could take as few steps as possible.
When Wei Ran stopped the car in front of the door, Gorman suddenly said, "Victor, thank you."
"What?" Wei Ran looked at the other party in confusion.
"Thank you for letting Makar call me daddy"
There was undisguised gratitude in Gorman's calm tone, "Although it was in Chinese, Jima said that was what dad meant. He said that you deceived him into calling him several times when he was celebrating the New Year at your house.
.”
"Is this happening?"
"When you let me see my grandson through a video call."
Gorman said dissatisfied, "You won't forget, will you? This is a very meaningful thing to me, and you forgot it?"
Wei Ran raised his neck and thought for a while. It seemed that such a thing really happened. It seemed that he had used the cover of Gorbachev's stupid dog. But he stayed in the Guam battle for too long.
So much so that he couldn't remember it for a while.
“There will be many more opportunities like this in the future.”
Wei Ran opened the car door as he spoke, "Gorman, you must not be here just to thank me this time, right?"
"Thank you just by the way." Gorman was not in a hurry to go down, "I'm here to get my grandson's photo."
"I have sent it to you before, please wait for me." Before Wei Ran finished speaking, he had already opened the door, ran upstairs and entered the attic on the top floor, turned off the remote monitoring switch, and then went downstairs and signaled
Gorman helped bring his luggage in.
"I took some photos of them with an old-fashioned film camera. Do you want me to develop them for you?" As Wei Ran spoke, he opened his laptop, pulled out the folder where the photos and videos were stored, and handed it to the other party.
"Of course, please hurry up, I will take it away later."
After taking the computer, Gorman pointed to the coffee cup placed on the long table, "Make me a pot of coffee by the way. Add more milk and no sugar."
"Waiting" Wei Ran, who was tired of the long journey, rolled his eyes and picked up the coffee pot honestly.
After taking care of Gorman, Wei Ran walked into the darkroom and locked the door. Then he took out the metal book and took out the negatives taken during the Battle of Guam from the paper bag on the side of the photo on page 19. Although
Ou took out the film from the Rolleiflex double-lens reflex camera again.
While he was busy developing photos, Gorman was flipping through the photos and videos taken by Wei Ran one by one. His old face finally no longer had tears hanging from his eyes as excitedly as before.
.
By the time he had finished reading all the photos related to the Makar family that Wei Ran had taken during the week at the farm, the former had also completed drying the developed photos, and had also added additional pictures to them.
Frame the photo and bind the extra one into a photo album.
Nowadays, with more and more experience in various battlefields of World War II, the techniques and skills of taking and developing photos have long been memorized, and this work is naturally done with ease.
Pushing open the door and looking at Gorman who was still staring at the video playing on the screen, Wei Ran walked up to the third floor holding the photos he took in Guam, found a new room, and fixed these
The photo frames were hung on the wall one by one.
The only thing that made him a little regretful was that even at the last moment, there was no trace of him in the photo taken with Marshall and others in the bar.
In other words, the only thing that left his figure was the photo on the helmet. Although this was somewhat inexplicably cruel, Wei Ran was extremely satisfied.
"From now on, photos related to the Pacific War will be hung here," Wei Ran muttered with his hands on his hips, and then returned to the first floor with satisfaction.
Now, the story of those friends in Guam and their descendants may have come to a satisfactory conclusion.
But the lonely old man in the lobby on the first floor, who was staring at the computer screen in a daze, could only hide in the shadows where the sun could not shine. With the help of Weiran's camera, he secretly took a look at his wife and children from a distance.
What is the difference between them that makes their families have such completely different life trajectories?
Maybe it's just because behind Marshall and others there is a powerful country that does all kinds of evil. Maybe it's just because Gorman, who can easily kill most people on the planet, has become a rootless duckweed decades ago.
