In the aquatic products market that was filled with the smell of fish and the aroma of grilled fish, Wei Ran skillfully made the change, and then handed a bag full of spring fish to a fat aunt.
Glancing at the few small fish left in the plastic washbasin, Wei Ran sat back on the folding chair out of boredom, swiping at the screen of his phone to kill time.
Near noon, the bearded old man gathered all the remaining corpses from Wei Ran's sale into a plastic bucket and gave them to a young man who came to the door at a low price.
"Okay Victor, it's time for us to go back."
The old man in the baseball cap held back his bad words and joked, "Ivan's two daughters are very beautiful. If you want to be friends with them, I can recommend a flower shop to..."
"No"
Wei Ran didn't even wait for the other party to finish speaking before he waved his hand, pulling a cart filled with plastic pots and baskets while walking outside the market and said, "I don't want to be thrown into the lake by Ivan with a boat anchor tied to it."
“What a smart guy”
The bearded old guy laughed and patted Wei Ran on the shoulder, "Your worries are not exaggerated at all. Three or four years ago, there were a few gangsters pestering those two girls. What happened? They were all.
Wan broke his nose."
"More than just a broken nose"
The old guy in the baseball cap took over the conversation and continued to scare Wei Ran, "It is said that those little gangsters were stripped naked by Ivan and thrown into the square as soon as they came out of the hospital."
"So there is a saying in our village," the bearded old man continued in harmony.
"What are you talking about?" Wei Ran asked with interest. As for being afraid? He didn't have any thoughts that he shouldn't have, so why should he be afraid?
The old man in the baseball cap suppressed a smile and said, "When the dogs in the village see Ivan's daughters, they will take the initiative to wag their tails and expose their bellies. Otherwise, even the dog's owner will be dragged into the forest by Ivan and beaten."
"His two daughters must have been spoiled, right?" Wei Ran asked deliberately, spoiled? How could someone who could get into those two schools be spoiled?
“Quite the opposite”
The bearded old man glanced at the fishing boats getting closer and closer, "His two daughters are much more educated than Ivan."
While chatting with these two old guys, Wei Ran, who smelled like fish, pulled the trolley back to the dock, deliberately being last in line, and walked onto the fishing boat along the gangplank.
Far away, he saw three deck chairs set up side by side under the umbrella on the bow deck. At this time, two girls wearing jeans and leather jackets were lying on them, holding juice and Ivan's happy smile.
What are we talking about.
On the small table surrounded by three lounge chairs, there is actually a large watermelon cut in half. However, just looking at the small stainless steel spoons inserted on the two watermelons, you can tell that this watermelon is 80% non-toxic.
It's enough.
Seeing Wei Ran boarding the ship, Ivan didn't give him a chance to speak, let alone any intention of introducing him, so he pointed at the cockpit and said, "Victor, drive the ship back and remember to be steady."
This old thing... Wei Ran cursed secretly, firmly fixed the trolley and got into the cockpit.
Glancing at the two girls who were asking questions around Ivan on the bow deck, Wei Ran quickly started the engine, carefully maneuvered the fishing boat back a little bit and left the dock, then turned around and headed for the small fishing village.
direction.
Along the way, he also looked at the two girls on the bow deck blatantly by observing the course.
Although both of them are the daughters of Ivan and Yana, one is taller and the other is shorter. The taller one has long golden hair that almost reaches her waist, while the shorter one has neat short hair, and even her hair is
The tips were also sparsely dyed a Jima color that gave Wei Ran a headache just looking at it.
Fortunately, it was precisely because of such a distinct difference that he could easily tell them apart from their backs. The one who gave him an inexplicable sense of familiarity was the relatively short short-haired girl.
Although he couldn't see the opponent's face clearly yet, in order to avoid being sunk into the lake, Wei Ran returned all his attention to operating the fishing boat after confirming the target. He drove back to the small fishing village smoothly.
dedicated pier.
After the fishing boat came to a stop and the engine was turned off, Ivan, who had just left the cockpit, arranged Wei Ran to the stern of the boat and used the lake water to clean the plastic basins and baskets, while he himself walked back with the two precious girls talking and laughing.
to the wooden house a hundred meters away.
"It can be seen that Ivan is very wary of Victor, fearing that this diligent young man will steal his precious daughter." The old guy in the baseball cap gloated before getting off the boat.
"Victor, I have a piece of advice for you."
The bearded old guy said seriously, "Be sure to wear a life jacket when you go to bed at night, lest you be thrown into the lake and not be able to swim back alive."
"Thank you for your advice, I will remember to wear a life jacket."
Weiran responded angrily, then turned on the water pump and used a high-pressure water gun to carefully clean the plastic basin and deck, which were not actually dirty.
Although Ivan was definitely on guard against Wei Ran, he would never let him live on the ship. So after Wei Ran carefully cleaned the broken pots and baskets, the old guy no longer had any reason to stop him.
Let him in.
In contrast, Yana was as enthusiastic as ever. After urging Wei Ran, who smelled like fish, to take a shower and change clothes, she took the initiative to introduce him to the two girls with sunny faces.
Of course, unlike the day he first arrived, Wei Ran, who was introduced by Yana, had become the business manager of a travel agency from Volgograd.
Unfortunately, not long after the name of the business manager popped up, the tall girl named Olga said doubtfully, "No, Mom, you have been deceived! Victor seems to be more than just a business manager!"
Before Yana, Ivan, or Wei Ran could speak, Olga took out her phone, searched for it, pointed at the interview video playing on the screen, and said, "I thought you looked familiar when we were on the boat, Victor.
, are you the historian, right? The Chinese historian who found that precious photo?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Oh——!"
Olena, who was sitting aside, immediately followed up and said, "It's really you! I watched your interview a long time ago, and I even tried to make a clay sculpture of a Soviet soldier with a red flag! Victor, why did you come to us?
This small village? Are you here to investigate some historical mystery?"
Wei Ran deliberately glanced at Ivan, who had a warning look on his face, and then shook his head with a smile and explained, "I really came here as the business manager of a travel agency to experience the life of a fisherman. My daughter
My friend’s parents ran a travel agency in Volgograd, and I was working in that travel agency before I found that historical photo, and even now.”
"Who will come to play with us?" the tall Olga asked doubtfully.
"Those rich people are not thinking right. Maybe they like poor villages like ours." After Ivan finished speaking, he looked at Wei Ran, "Victor, am I right?"
"You're right, the brains of those rich people are indeed not normal." Wei Ran agreed with the other party while trying to maintain a normal tone, but secretly curled his lips.
Although the two girls sitting on the sofa opposite were dressed in ordinary clothes, he had secretly checked on his mobile phone in the past two days. The Blancpain piano upstairs alone was worth more than 100,000 U.S. dollars. This was not what the other party called "poverty."
Things that will appear in the "little village".
And this was just a piano. Although he couldn't find the corresponding brands for the sets of carving knives in the same room, he found that the cherry wood boxes containing the carving knives were all signed.
Perhaps seeing that Wei Ran was still on the road, Ivan temporarily let go of his wariness from his old father. In the following chat, Wei Ran, who deliberately spoke less, gradually discovered that the tall Olga had a relatively cheerful personality.
Much. As the younger sister, Olena is somewhat opposite to that.
What puzzled Wei Ran even more was that after seeing Olena in person, the familiarity that he had been murmuring about through that photo had disappeared. He was even 100% sure.
, this is definitely the first time that I and the other party have met.
As the sun turned slightly westward, Yana and her two daughters began to prepare dinner, while Ivan left the house with a sanitizer and a few clean plastic bottles.
Following the other party, he walked to the edge of the birch forest. Ivan used an electric drill to drill a hole in several waist-thick birch trees, and then took it from a small can bottle.
A stainless steel tube as thick as a cigarette came out and was inserted into it.
Without even saying a word of greeting, Wei Ran took the initiative to bring the plastic bottle over, tied it to the tree with a rope, and collected the birch sap dripping slowly along the steel pipe.
He also drank a lot of this stuff at Hongqi Forest Farm. No matter last spring or this spring, Jima, Teacher Dalia and others would drink a lot of this stuff as water.
While he was fixing the bottle, Ivan had drilled holes in the second tree and kept saying, "Both of them like to drink this stuff."
"Just like you like drinking?" Wei Ran joked.
Ivan smiled, but did not continue the topic, "Victor, tomorrow you and the two old guys will go fishing in the boat. I will stay at home with my daughter."
"Shall I go by myself?" Wei Ran looked at the other party in surprise, "Aren't you afraid that I will run away with the boat or drive the boat into the lake?"
"I even somewhat expect you to do that, so that I can get a new ship for free."
As Ivan spoke, he had already installed the stainless steel pipe on the third tree, and while fixing the bottle, he continued, "If you don't cause any trouble tomorrow, you can go with us to the forest to pick mushrooms and hunt on the day after tomorrow. Then you can leave."
"Isn't there any assessment?" Wei Ran asked in surprise what he had been worrying about these days.
"No." Ivan shook his head with a smile, "My assessment of you has ended. At least I am satisfied with the results, and I believe your teacher will be very satisfied as well."
