At noon on Inta's last day, Wei Ran and others had a lively and sumptuous lunch under the warm invitation and persuasion of Xida and Guliye.
On the occasion of parting, Gu Liye even selected one of the Caucasian cubs that looked the strongest and had a more affectionate personality and gave it to Suisui as a gift, as a way of thanking her for her kindness to Inta.
Selfless help.
Speaking of which, Suisui naturally couldn't refuse this gift. After Xida learned that these young people might visit her brother when they had time, she rummaged through a locked container outside.
He brought out a dozen filled cans and bottles and asked everyone to help him take them there when he went to visit his brother.
"Aunt Xida, what is in here?" Jima asked curiously.
“My new sour jam this year”
Theda said while wiping the dust off the cans with a towel, "I made them myself using berries collected from the forest. My brother must not have eaten this kind of sour jam for a long time."
"Aunt Xida, can you give me a bottle?" Suisui asked shamelessly with a puppy in her arms.
"sure"
Xida said generously, "It doesn't matter if you buy a few more bottles, but this kind of jam is different from the ones in the store. They are more sour than fruit vinegar and have no sweetness at all."
"I just want a bottle." Suisui was not greedy, she casually picked up a small bottle and shook it, "I just want to taste it."
"You can use it to spread bread slices, or you can drink it with water." Xida gave a kind suggestion.
"I will try it when I get back."
Suisui handed the dog in her arms to Wei Ran, "In addition, we will send these things to your brother, Mr. Isai, before October."
"Don't worry, these cans can be stored for a long time." While Sida was talking, Gulier had already dug out a foam-lined crate and put the former's cleaned cans in one by one.
.
After bidding farewell to the enthusiastic couple, everyone got into the off-road vehicle driven by Jima and drove towards the airport.
"What should I do with this dog?" Suisui asked with a grimace, holding up the little furry thing. "We didn't even have time to check it in."
"Who made you agree to take it?" Wei Ran asked happily.
"It would be rude not to accept it," Suisui said, looking at Ji Ma, "How about I give it to you to raise?"
"I don't want to raise this kind of thing"
Ji Ma shook his head without thinking, "Don't look at how cute it is now. When it grows up, it will eat more than me every day, and Maya and I already have..."
Before the guy could finish speaking, Maya rolled her eyes and reminded, "The fox is mine, and it is just temporarily fostered in your home. Mr. Jima Arach, please don't be sentimental."
"Okay, it's yours."
Ji Ma didn't argue about this kind of thing at all. He looked at Wei Ran and Suisui through the rearview mirror and said, "Just keep it by yourself. This kind of dog will give you a headache in the future."
"I'm starting to have a headache now"
Suisui said with regret, "We may not be able to bring it back to Kazan, or give it to Alili? This little guy is very suitable to be raised in the camp..."
"It will hurt tourists when it grows up," Anfisa warned without raising her head.
"They don't know how to raise them in Alili either."
Ji Ma said with certainty, "They would rather raise a sled dog with a docile personality, and would not waste their energy on such a big eater, but you can try asking him."
Jima also smiled happily, "He will definitely refuse, and in order to take away this trouble for you, he will definitely help you take it on the plane."
"Why don't you like this kind of dog?" Wei Ran, who had been watching the fun just now, couldn't help but asked curiously.
"This kind of dog eats a lot, and is not suitable for pulling sleds at all. Although it has high fighting power, it runs very slowly and cannot catch up with its prey. Sometimes it can't even catch up with people on skis, so because of this,
The tower is not practical at all.”
Ji Ma increased the speed slightly, "It would be fine if they were herdsmen herding reindeer, but most of the people living here in Inta are settled miners, hunters, and loggers. Except for some work of guarding and guarding the courtyard, they don't do anything at all."
Nothing else.”
Wei Ran shook his head dumbfounded, "No wonder Gu Liya wanted to give those cubs to us just now."
“His dogs don’t have to worry about being sold.”
Ji Ma corrected with a smile, "Although ordinary people don't want to keep such a big guy, those loggers like it very much. After all, no one knows whether they will encounter brown bears or wolves when working in the forest."
"It's not easy to live here..." Maya sighed with emotion.
"That's why I want to help them." Jima responded matter-of-factly, which made Maya raise her beautiful eyebrows in surprise, and a hint of appreciation appeared on her face.
Unfortunately, Ji Ma, who was steering the car around the corner, unfortunately did not see the rare expression on the former's face.
After chatting all the way to the airport, everything was as Ji Ma expected. Both Alili and Misha simply rejected the dog in Suisui's arms. Alili used his connections at the airport to
, directly gave this little guy the same treatment as the two little foxes, being carried onto the plane without being put in a cage.
After a short wait, everyone boarded the flight to Kazan with four uncles who had received generous salaries and six Inta apprentices who were preparing to "go abroad for further study."
When the plane landed at Kazan Airport, the boys who Jima had arranged in advance once again sent a bouquet of flowers to each of the four uncles, followed by some enthusiastic group photos and incomprehensible thanks. The excitement was,
It even made the surrounding passengers think they had encountered some gang leader they didn't know.
"Isn't your arrangement a bit too exaggerated?" Wei Ran came to Ji Ma's side and teased.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "My friend, this is not my arrangement."
Jimma said to the boys wearing Adi's three stripes, "They all came to Kazan from Inta to work recently. Many of these boys' parents or brothers have got jobs or built houses in the camp."
house. So these are spontaneous thank yous from them."
"Those are those too?" Wei Ran asked, pointing to the little girls surrounding Suisui and Katenka sisters.
These girls, who looked to be around 20 years old at most, were so sweet in their mouths, and their non-trivial compliments almost made Suisui grow wings. Even the Katenka sisters and the big-eared fox they were holding were laughing.
Received a lot of compliments mixed with surprise.
"Of course, we Inta are not just boys."
Jima said matter-of-factly, "Those girls were sent by Misha. They are either training in the forest farm or working for the studio. And for the next movie about the Belarusian guerrillas, all the actors will also come from them and
Choose from their families.”
"Is this okay?" Wei Ran's eyes widened.
"why not?"
Ji Ma spread his hands and said, "In this way, not only will they make money, but the shooting cost will be much lower, right? At most, it will just provide them with some training."
"It's okay if you think it's okay." Wei Ran waved his hands tiredly, too lazy to continue the topic.
In a slightly noisy atmosphere, everyone put the four uncles and the six apprentices on the flight to China, and waited until the plane took off before leaving the airport one after another.
"You guys go home first," Wei Ran said while handing the car keys to Suisui, "I want to go to the forest farm with Jima first."
"Make some dinner when you get back."
While Suisui was speaking, she handed the car keys to Anfiya, then took Maya's arm and warmly invited her to get into the compartment of the armored pickup truck.
"Let's go too"
Ji Ma took the car key that his younger brother had given him and took Wei Ran into the second-hand off-road vehicle parked side by side.
"When are we going to Kirov?" Dima asked as he stepped on the accelerator, "I remember you said you wanted to see the veteran named Leva?"
"When will you have class?" Wei Ran adjusted the angle of his seat and then asked slowly.
"The 15th, September 15th, I still have half a month."
"I'll let you know when I make a decision." Wei Ran paused and continued to ask, "Jima, have you seen Gorman recently?"
"No." Jima shook his head, "Teacher Dalia said he was on a business trip recently and might not be back until the end of October."
"Why is that old guy on a business trip?" Wei Ran muttered to himself, but didn't take it to heart.
Chatting all the way to the Hongqi Forest Farm, what they didn't expect was that the only one left behind was teacher Dalia.
"Where are Mr. Culp and Teacher Anna?"
While Jima was talking, he took out a can of beer from the refrigerator in Dalia's office.
"They're on a business trip, they went to Belarus." Teacher Dalia, who was applying a facial mask, replied casually.
"For that story?"
"certainly"
Dalia simply took off the mask and threw it away, took out a cigarette and put it in her mouth and asked, "Do you remember the woman named Diane?"
"Remember, the person in charge of the Edelweiss Organization." As Wei Ran spoke, he respectfully picked up the lighter on the table and helped him light the cigarette.
"She and the investors behind her wanted to shoot near the original location," Teacher Dalia said arrogantly, "so they all went there to get busy."
Having said this, Dalia stood up, waved to Wei Ran and said, "Come with me, there is something Anna asked me to give to you."
Hearing this, Wei Ran quickly followed the other person and left to do his work, leaving Jima without any curiosity behind, waiting obediently in the office.
Under the leadership of Teacher Dalia, Wei Ran came to a locked room on the second floor of the consultation center. The former did not avoid him, slowly opened the safe, and took out a dark blue plastic lock box from it casually.
He handed it to Wei Ran, "This is a gift from the rescued children in that orphanage."
