At eight o'clock in the evening, Wei Ran, who had already taken a shower, walked into a spacious room on the second floor under the leadership of Yana.
"You can sleep here for the next few days."
Yana helped close the curtains and kept explaining, "This room is where my two daughters practice piano and sculpture when they are at home, so it will be a little messy."
"No, this is already very good." He said politely.
Yana smiled and continued, "If you really plan to go fishing with Ivan tomorrow, you'd better go to bed early. It's a hard job that requires getting up early."
"Don't worry, Aunt Yana, I will definitely get up on time." Wei Ran promised with a smile.
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter even if you can't get up." Yana and Wei Ran hugged each other gently, "Good night."
"Good night"
Watching Yana leave the room and helping to close the door, Wei Ran immediately focused on this room.
This house is almost as big as the living room downstairs. There is a clean piano placed against the wall on the left, and a furry teddy bear is placed on the large painted rocker. Not far away
On the bookshelf, there are books of music scores and some music books.
On the opposite wall, there are buckets of sculpture clay sealed with plastic wrap, as well as some semi-finished statues. On the same bookshelf, in addition to various sculpture-related books, there are also several sets of wipes.
Clean carving knives. Although he didn't know whether these carving knives were made by famous artists or professional brands, the Damascus pattern on them told him that these things were definitely not cheap.
Kneeling down with interest, Wei Ran looked at the completed or unfinished sculptures, and couldn't help but have a smile on his face.
Among these sculptures that have been basically completed are a fishing boat fighting against the waves, Ivan drinking, Yana wearing an apron, and a figure from behind who seems to be playing the piano.
The content of those that are not yet completed is much richer. There are cats and dogs, some anime characters that Wei Ran knows or does not know, and even imaginary creatures such as sea monsters. Some of them seem to be carved out of dissatisfaction.
The result is that it is kneaded into a ball of dry mud that is randomly piled together.
Without moving these things, Wei Ran walked to the bed and looked up at the photo frames hanging on the wall.
These photos completely record the growth process of the two girls from childhood to adulthood, and also completely record the process of Yana and Ivan growing from young to old.
"Where on earth have you seen this Olena? Why can't you remember it?"
Wei Ran muttered to himself, turned off the light, walked to the window sill, and opened the curtains. He looked out the window at the lake reflecting the starlight and fell into deep thought.
Although it was just a quick glance when getting off the boat, it can still be seen that this small village, which is not too big, is definitely not wealthy. But very objectively speaking, the piano in this room and the pianos in this room look very much like they were custom-made.
The carving knives for the goods seemed to be beyond the affordability of this small family and even this small village.
Of course, regardless of Ivan and Yana's status and background, it is normal for them to be able to afford these things. But if this is the case, why are they willing to live in such a small place?
After a long time, Wei Ran, who had been thinking hard to no avail, finally decided not to think about it, turned around, lay down on the bed and closed his eyes.
Going to bed so early was obviously not in line with the young man's living habits, but considering that he would go fishing with Ivan tomorrow, he had no intention of staying up late.
There was no conversation all night, and the next morning, when it was already dark, Wei Ran was woken up by a knock on the door. He took out his cell phone and checked the time. It was only less than five minutes after four o'clock.
"I'm already awake"
Wei Ran responded with a yawn, then stood up and got dressed as quickly as possible.
There was no time to wash his face, brush his teeth, or have breakfast. After getting a pair of suede leather gloves and a pair of water pants, Wei Ran left the house with two lunch boxes and an old-fashioned thermos handed over by Ivan.
By the time they arrived at the pier, the two old men from yesterday had already been waiting with their lunch boxes for a long time.
A group of four people boarded the fishing boat in silence. Old Ivan waited for the cable to be untied, but then he gave up the driving seat to Wei Ran and said, "Reverse the car and leave the dock. Remember not to turn on the lights."
"Shall I come?" Wei Ran asked in surprise.
After getting on the boat, Ivan seemed to have turned into the same annoying person as yesterday. He said angrily, "Did I bring you to the boat to chat with me? You are not a parrot."
Hearing this, Wei Ran rolled his eyes, fumbled to start the engine, and then followed Ivan's instruction yesterday, steering the twenty-meter-long fishing boat back slowly. The old tires hanging on the side of the boat and the dock let
With the grinding sound of people's teeth, they gradually increased the distance from the shore and carefully turned the bow of the boat.
"not bad"
Ivan fiddled with the navigation, then tapped the screen with his fingernail and said, "Drive in this direction, you can go a little faster."
"Can I turn on the light now?" Wei Ran turned around and asked.
"Why turn on the radar lights?" Ivan reached out and tapped the radar screen again, "Stop talking nonsense and increase the speed first."
Did the co-author learn to sail a boat? Wei Ran thought he had guessed the answer correctly and cautiously increased the throttle.
Amidst the noisy noise of the engine, the ship's speed increased little by little, but Ivan lit a cigarette and sat on the chair beside him. He glanced at the sonar display screen and used it from time to time.
A shout from the handheld station will remind Weiran to turn, speed up or slow down from time to time.
Under Ivan's command, Wei Ran's operation became more and more proficient. In addition, this patrol boat, which was not too big, was not difficult to drive. So although he still couldn't use his hands like an arm, at least he couldn't.
What mistakes will be picked out by Ivan?
More than half an hour after leaving the dock, following Ivan's order, Wei Ran controlled the fishing boat to reduce its speed to the lowest speed. At the same time, the two old men working on the stern deck also started casting the net under Ivan's command.
Accompanied by the harsh squeaking sound of the windlass, the nets cast out by the two old men were quickly pulled back. Just hearing the vague curses amidst the noise of the engine, you knew that the harvest of the two nets just now was probably too great.
Not very good.
"Ivan, why don't you use a trawl?"
Wei Ran, who was in charge of driving the ship, asked curiously. It stands to reason that with the power of this ship, a set of trawling equipment can be added, which would be much more efficient than manually throwing the net.
"Why don't you ask us why we don't drain this lake?"
Ivan looked at Wei Ran as if he were an idiot and explained, "Compared with how to catch the fish, what is more difficult is how to sell the fish. The most important thing is that the law does not allow the use of trawl nets here. Okay,
Keep an eye on the sonar and let's drive forward."
"I made things simple," Wei Ran grinned, and honestly followed the other party's instructions and steered the fishing boat forward in a stop-and-go manner.
After closing the net several times in a row, the two old guys who had been busy on the stern deck finally got something. At this time, the sky was already turning white, and some unknown birds also fluttered their wings and landed on the fishing boat.
Waiting eagerly to grab some food from the fishing net that is about to come out of the water.
At this time, the big white cat that Wei Ran had not taken seriously before played an unexpected role. Under Wei Ran's almost dull gaze, the big fat cat jumped up and down flexibly on the floating fishing boat.
, he bit the neck of a bird in two or two blows and flicked it from side to side, and then proudly threw the body into the lake.
This little guy's careless operation immediately scared away the flock of birds that had just landed. In a short time, the two bulging fishing nets were also pulled to the stern deck by the winch.
In the splashing water, as the fishing net was opened, a large number of foot-long spring fish swarmed all over the deck. At the same time, Wei Ran also shut down the engine under Ivan's shout. And the big white cat,
It had also frightened away the water bird that had just landed, and threw the body of the second bird into the lake.
“Good luck today”
The old guy wearing a baseball cap shot the waterfowl and said happily, "I caught so many in this net, I must have encountered a relatively large school of fish."
"You're really lucky. Pack the box quickly, Victor. Don't just stand there. Come over and help! Remember to pick out all the fish except the pomfret."
While Ivan was greeting Wei Ran, he had already started filling the basin with fish using a large plastic dustpan. The bearded old man also took out boxes of crushed ice from the cabin and mixed it into the large plastic basin.
Seeing this, Wei Ran quickly squatted down to help, and hurriedly followed the three old guys to sort out the catch.
However, what surprised him was that they got up so early in the morning and mobilized a large number of people to sail over, but the three old men were ready to stop after collecting the catches in these two large nets.
"Is this the end?" Wei Ran, who smelled like fish, asked in surprise.
"Don't be too greedy. Fish that cannot be sold will only spoil."
Ivan hammered his lower back and stood up, "And one more shot. When we pack up and rush to the city, we will miss the restaurant's shopping time. Okay, let's go sailing now and go to Pietro
Zavodsk.”
Hearing this, Wei Ran gave up his curiosity and took hold of the rudder again under Ivan's guidance.
After running on the lake in the morning glow for more than an hour, it was already past six o'clock in the morning when Wei Ran returned the rudder to Ivan and watched him dock.
Helping the three old men to move the pots of catch onto the trolley and transport them to the pier, Ivan pointed to the insulated lunch box placed on the table on the bow deck, "I don't need you to sell the fish, while we
You can have something to eat and sleep before you come back."
"Can I go out later?" Wei Ran asked, "My things are still in the hotel."
"Come back early, I have work arrangements for you later."
After Ivan finished speaking, he and his two old guys walked into the aquatic product market each pushing a trolley, carrying a lunch box and a thermos bottle, and taking the big white cat with them.
Watching the other party go away, Wei Ran immediately ran to the parking lot attached to the fish market, found his rented car and drove back to the hotel.
He took a comfortable hot shower and changed into relatively clean clothes. When he checked out of the room and the rented car, picked up his suitcase and rushed back to the dock, Ivan was already waiting for him on the deck.
Already.
As if he didn't notice that Wei Ran had just changed his clothes, Ivan pointed to the plastic bucket at his feet and said, "I bought paint and brushes. Remember to repaint the deck at noon. There is rust.
The rust needs to be removed first, and it is best to complete these actions before two o'clock in the afternoon."
After saying that, before Wei Ran could agree or refuse, Ivan had already walked onto the pier along the gangplank and said without looking back, "Of course, if you don't want to do this job, you can also go to the market to sell it."
fish."
Looking down at the clothes he had just changed, Wei Ran shook his head helplessly, threw the suitcase into the cabin and put it away. Then he took out the apron, gloves, hat and mask from the plastic bucket, put them on, and started meticulously with an iron brush.
Rust removal work before painting.
