In the spacious yard by the lake, the lively barbecue came to an end with the last glass of cold beer poured into the stomach.
After randomly picking up the kitchen garbage, Anfiya sent Jima and Maya to the guest rooms on the third floor like a qualified housekeeper. As for Wei Ran, the real owner of the house, he got into the room on the first floor.
Darkroom.
Before leaving for the United States, he had developed a large number of photos using the latest negatives in a metal book. However, because of his hurry, he did not have time to wait for the photos to dry, let alone put them in frames.
But when he opened the door, he found that the walls on both sides were filled with photo frames one after another. These photo frames were even carefully divided into three parts according to different races. On the table,
There are several photos of volunteer soldiers and prisoners of war.
"They are good employees. I really need to think about giving them a salary increase..."
Wei Ran muttered to himself, and then moved all the photo frames to the third floor, and sent them to the same room as the photos he had taken in Teng County and Aiyangdian.
Finally, after placing the "1952 Prisoner of War Camp Intercamp Olympics Commemorative Book" on the shelf, Wei Ran turned off the lights, locked the door, and returned to the bedroom on the second floor.
In the blink of an eye, early the next morning, Weiran drove Jima and Maya, as well as Anfiya, who was holding two little foxes, and rushed to the airport.
If the waiting for boarding, takeoff and even landing was normal, when they walked out of Inta's simple airport pick-up gate, several young people holding banners greeted Jima, as well as the first two people who surrounded them.
A reporter, but everyone including Maya subconsciously stopped and kept a distance from Jima, for fear that others would know that they knew the slutty Jima.
Ignoring Ji Ma, who happily accepted the interview, the three of them, Wei Ran, joined Suisui and others who came to pick up the plane. They didn't even have time to say hello, and they fled the hall together, which gave them goosebumps, and headed straight to the tarmac.
"You two are really the same" Maya admired as she looked at the girl standing next to Suisui.
"Hello, I am Anfisa Karenina Katenka"
The girl who just a moment ago was staring at the two big-eared foxes in her sister's arms with gleaming eyes introduced herself seriously and at the same time extended her hand to Maya.
"Maya Swanidze" Maya quickly shook hands with the other party.
"How's it going? You didn't expect it, did you?" Suisui, who was already hanging on Wei Ran, asked proudly, "Were you shocked when you first saw her?"
“Really shocked”
Wei Ran responded dumbfounded, "What's going on with you? Are you going to stay in Inta and be the queen instead of going back?"
"In order to reduce operating costs in winter, several uncles helped us build some vegetable greenhouses."
After Suisui got off Wei Ran, she took the little fox from Anfeiya and held it in her arms, happily and proudly introducing their latest work results.
It wasn't until Suisui had finished talking about her plan for the next six months with great enthusiasm that Jima, like a lost son of a bitch, found them with a high-end suitcase.
"Why are you here?" Ji Ma asked dissatisfied, "I just wanted to..."
"We don't want to," Alili and Misha responded before Jima finished. "You either have to go to the cabin quickly, or we tie you to the landing gear."
"Don't worry, we have plenty of time." Jima said quickly, "Before going to the camp, how about I invite you to watch a movie?"
"Not very good!" At this time, even Suisui and Anfisa beside her gave the answer of rejection in unison.
"That's..."
"Shall we go and talk in the cabin?" Maya asked, holding Misha in one arm and Suisui, who was meeting for the first time with the other, without giving Jima any face.
"That's a good suggestion." Before Misha could finish her words, she was already enthusiastically greeting everyone to board the An-2 plane that had been waiting for a long time.
"Can't you come up?"
Alili, who was walking at the end, asked, with the attitude of immediately closing the cabin door if he dared not say anything.
"I'm already a star, can't you bastards let me go to the city to show off?" Jima complained dissatisfied, and got into the cabin with his flashy suitcase.
"You're a shitty star"
After Alili waited for the other party to come up, he closed the cabin door with a clang, "Even if you, a scumbag, become the president, you will still be the same person in Inta who almost fell off the heating pipe accidentally because he peeped at Jonia taking a shower.
..”
"Shut up!"
Jima's face instantly turned red, he dropped his suitcase, and while noisily changing the topic, he also clamped Alili's neck under his armpits, "Shut up! That kind of thing never happened!"
"
"Misha, who is Jioniya?" Wei Ran asked curiously.
“The bakery owner’s daughter”
Misha smiled and raised her voice, "She is about ten years older than us, and she is almost the woman with the biggest breasts in Inta."
"Oh——!" The others, including the Katenka sisters, immediately responded with a long tone.
"What happens after Ji Ma falls?" Suisui asked deliberately, suppressing her anger.
"He fell down and smashed the kennel of Zionia's family. He was chased by the Caucasus, who was less than one year old, and ran on the street for a long time."
"And his pants were torn off!" Alili added as he struggled to remove the dirty hands covering his mouth, and then Ji Ma covered him tightly again, as if he was trying to kill someone.
"The whole street saw it."
Misha had no intention of saving face for Jima, "The most important thing is that Jionya wasn't taking a shower at all at that time."
"The person taking a shower is Jonia's father!" Alili once again broke away from Jima's restraints and continued to break the news.
"At that time, Jioniya's father opened the window and asked him."
Misha glanced at Jima who was crying without tears, cleared her throat, and said in a serious tone, "You, a cute little guy from the city, want to buy bread? Our bakeries in the countryside are all located on the street.
Those on the first floor will not be placed in the bathroom."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! In the cabin where everyone was laughing, Ji Ma's argument did not even make a splash, but when he saw Maya, she was laughing so hard that she almost couldn't breathe.
After getting angry, this guy also showed a silly smile.
Having made enough of Jima's jokes, Alili, whose entire face was as red as Jima's, was finally able to get into the cockpit, and under the command of the tower, he took off and flew to the hot spring camp.
However, shortly after the plane landed at the abandoned airport, drizzle began to fall in the sky. By the time they arrived at the wooden cabin camp on the side of the hot spring camp, the sudden rain had already begun to pour.
Regardless of picking up their luggage, everyone walked into the largest wooden house in the center under the leadership of Alili.
This 100-square-meter wooden house with a pointed roof has thick floors. Although there is no earthen bed, in addition to a large fireplace, there are two rows of solid wood tables and chairs placed against the wall, facing the door.
There is even a log-style bar in the direction. The side of the bar facing the door even has a two-man saw fixed on it, with a Soviet-style lumberjack comic strip drawn on the saw.
When they came in, there was not only a hunky young man at the bar, but also men and women of various ages sitting on the surrounding tables, drinking happily. Even the four uncles from China, Davari, were among them.
I was drunk and confused.
"This can be regarded as our restaurant, pub, banquet hall, whatever. In short, it will be a gathering place for tourists in the future. Even if it is used as a KTV, it will be no problem."
Suisui deliberately switched to Chinese and said, "Did you see that big guy at the bar?"
"What's wrong?" Wei Ran asked in confusion after greeting his four uncles who were obviously drunk.
Suisui smiled and explained proudly, "When you left last time, the restaurant we went to eat at was owned by his father. When guests come here in the winter, the restaurant will be run by them.
Not only do we have no investment costs, we can even make a small profit. And once tourists don’t rate their service high enough, restaurants in Inta City will immediately have someone to replace them.”
"From now on, you might as well come here and become the mayor." Wei Ran shook his head dumbfounded, "
Where are those vegetable greenhouses?”
“Not here”
Suisui pulled Wei Ran to the window, pointed in the direction of the end of the mineral deposit and said, "In the corner of that direction, I will take you there after the rain stops. And you are here just in time.
We can also take you to see what we recently discovered."
"What?" Wei Ran saw the strange look on the other person's face, and his curiosity was immediately aroused.
"A cemetery"
Suisui took Wei Ran and sat down at a table. After Misha came over with a plate of food and drink, she immediately switched to Russian and explained in detail, "The cemetery is in the forest on the edge of the mineral deposit. We also accidentally
found."
"Is it special there?" Wei Ran asked.
“Really special”
Alili handed a glass of beer to Wei Ran, sat down next to Misha and said, "Misha asked her father, and I also asked retired workers who had worked in this mine before, but they didn't know.
Know who built that cemetery."
"Mainly the tombstones in that cemetery"
While Suisui was speaking, she had already taken out her mobile phone, opened the photo album, pulled out a photo and handed it to Wei Ran, "Look, the tombstones are all engraved in Japanese."
"Japanese?"
Wei Ran enlarged the photo, and it was just as Suisui said. The tombstone that Suisui stepped on in the photo was probably about one meter high and two meters long, and even about 20 centimeters thick.
The rough carving marks on it are enough to prove that it is completely handmade, and the specious Japanese characters on it, mixed with a large number of Chinese characters, are also mottled. But no matter how it is done, the plaster flag carved in the middle is particularly conspicuous.
.
"I used a translation software to look up the names on it. In fact, I didn't even need to translate them. I could guess them all. They were all names."
Suisui explained on the side, "And those names are all men's names. There are more than 80 names that can be recognized, and there are more than ten that are unrecognizable. Taken together, there are almost a hundred people."
"Just the name?"
"Only name"
Suisui picked up the cup and took a big sip of cold beer, took a deep breath and pretended to say, "Comrade historian, I'll leave the investigation of that tombstone to you."
"Why are you investigating it?" Wei Ran asked confused.
"Alili said that the owners of the names on the tombstones were probably the little Japanese prisoners of war who were sent here after the end of World War II."
Suisui put down her third-dry draft beer cup with a clang, wiped the foam from her mouth and said happily, "So I want to build a septic tank there, so that the greenhouse not far from there might be connected."
No fertilizer is required.”
"You are such a genius"
Wei Ran couldn't help but grin. Putting aside whether there was any point in building a septic tank in a place where it snowed for several months a year, Suisui's operation was clearly done to deliberately disgust the dog.
Even though this mixed-race girl, who always wanted to be gay, had a foreign nationality, she never considered herself an outsider. Especially when she was a child, her grandparents in Baiyangdian told them stories about fighting Japanese invaders. I really thought they were just coaxing.
What about children? It is also ideological education, and the effect is no worse than that of school.
"That's not the case!"
Suisui became more and more proud, "Even my grandma and grandpa praised my idea as a good one, and my uncles also promised that the septic tank will be repaired without any odor..."
"Stop, stop, stop, let's eat."
Wei Ran quickly stopped Suisui, "Send me the photo. I'll ask someone more professional than me about this. There are so many names, and he will definitely be able to find out something."
"Is there anyone more professional than you? Your graduate teacher?"
Suisui asked curiously, "Anyway, I asked my dad, but he said he couldn't find any relevant records at all."
“I’m afraid there’s nothing the Kajik boss can do.”
Maya, who was listening to the excitement at the next table, said, "He seems to be better at the history from the period after World War II to the collapse of the Soviet Union."
"It's not Mr. Kajik, it's a colleague I know in China."
Wei Ran directly picked up Suisui's cell phone and forwarded the photos to his own cell phone. However, after waiting for a long time, he later realized that the other party's cell phone had no signal at all.
“The only drawback here is that there is no internet signal”
While Suisui was talking, she had already pulled out a satellite phone from her bag, and while turning on a hotspot, she said, "Using a satellite phone to access the Internet is too expensive, and the speed is also very slow."
"No way to solve it?"
“Nothing can be done for the time being”
Anfiya, who followed, took over, "Although the speed of satellite broadband is pretty good, it's still very expensive."
"Take your time, there will always be a way."
Wei Ran, who was also helpless, responded and forwarded the photo sent by Suisui to Xia Shushi, his domestic colleague whom he met not long ago.
