On the shore of Kaban Lake in Kazan, Wei Ran watched Jima and Maya drive away, then pressed the remote control to close the courtyard door, turned around and walked into the warm room.
After a while, Suisui, who had just been cleaning gems in the bathroom, was sitting cross-legged on the sofa, flipping through the pages of various documents that Jima had just insisted on leaving behind.
"Can you give it up?" Wei Ran sat down next to Suisui and joked with a smile.
"It wasn't appropriate for me to come out just now."
Suisui rolled her eyes, shook the document in her hand and said, "He gave it to you to keep. I didn't expect Jima to be so smart."
"How do you say this?" Wei Ran asked, holding the other person's neck.
"He was worried that we would focus on the town of Tula in Tunguska in the future, so he sent these things."
Suisui shook the document in her hand and said with almost certainty, "And I guess the surprise Dalia gave him was definitely not these things."
"I don't understand." Wei Ran simply shook his head.
"You really have no talent for business."
Suisui said in a different way, "This is a letter of nomination. Without our operation, Inta's hot spring camp or the abandoned military base would not be able to generate any profit at all. He sent these things over,
It’s clear that he intends to hold us responsible for Inta.”
"So Ji Ma is playing tricks?" Wei Ran asked with interest.
“Can’t say it’s a trick.”
Suisui pointed at Beria, who was lying on the ground on his back and wagging his tail, "You're just exposing your belly to us. In fact, these things are useless even if we have them in our hands. Even if we get the two camps to ourselves,
Without the help and support of the Inta people, we would not be able to survive."
Before Wei Ran could speak, Suisui had already put the documents in her hand back into the portfolio and stuffed them into Wei Ran's arms, "But the fact that he can send these things over for you to keep shows that he is prepared to be completely tied to us."
Determination on a rope. Although Scumbag Ji seems unreliable and his work is a bit rough, he is definitely a trustworthy and smart enough friend."
"What do you mean?"
Wei Ran put the document bag aside indifferently. Logically speaking, his and Ji Ma's life-long friendship would not cause this incident at all. But after all, because Ta's industry involves too many people, it is reasonable for him to do so.
.
"And the last flight to Moscow today took off half an hour ago."
Anfisa walked out of the bathroom with the washed gemstones in the washbasin. While pouring the small stones on the towel that Laura had laid on the table in advance, she joked meaningfully, "It will be two hours later."
, there is a flight to Sochi.”
"When children grow up, they have their own secrets."
Wei Ran pretended to sigh, and then everyone laughed together. As for what reward Ji Ma really received from Teacher Dalia, since the other party didn't plan to tell, he naturally didn't plan to ask. Although everyone
They are very good friends, but there is really no need to pry into all the secrets of each other.
After having enough of Ji Ma's jokes, Lola, who took the initiative to return to her job as a cook, took out a small notebook and asked, "What should we eat tonight?"
"Spicy rabbit head!" the Katenka sisters said in unison.
"I really need to eat some Chinese food," Suisui replied, stretching, "I've been eating Dalieba beef stew for several days, and I really can't bear it anymore."
"Go to the construction site next door and ask what they are preparing to eat this afternoon."
Wei Ran said to the Katenka sisters who were wiping the gems with a towel, "Get some rabbits and send them over, let their master help process them, and send them some vegetables and wine by the way."
Hearing this, the Katenka sisters immediately dropped the crystal clear gems with the scent of shower gel, and ran out with Lola.
"When are we going back to Volgograd?" Suisui stood up and went to the table, holding a glass lunch box, and asked while picking out the stones she liked.
"In a few days," Wei Ran thought for a while and said, "I have to go to Chita in the next few days."
"Going to Chita?" Suisui turned her attention to Wei Ran again, "What are you going to do in Chita?"
"In the past few days, I have also found some insiders who may be related to Mine No. 52, so I plan to go there and have a look." Wei Ran also came over and helped wipe the gems while saying, "I always feel that what happened there is not like
It’s as simple as what Vajim’s confession says.”
"Should I go with you?" Suisui asked enthusiastically.
"Then let's go together," Weiran agreed nonchalantly, "then we can fly directly to Volgograd from there."
"When will we leave?" Suisui immediately became interested.
"You decide." Wei Ran left the decision to the other party. Anyway, the main purpose of going this time was to satisfy curiosity, and there was no rush at all in terms of time.
"Take Kamei and Lola with you?" Suisui continued to ask, "That way we can fly back to Volgograd together. We can't leave them here to spend Christmas by themselves."
"Then take it with you"
Wei Ran nodded dumbfounded. This crazy girl was probably planning to take the Katenka sisters home to show off. But he also wanted to take Lola with her. After all, this matter had something to do with her, and just like Sui
Sui said, Christmas is coming soon, so we can't really leave them alone to celebrate the holiday.
It's a pity that his habitat... Wei Ran sighed secretly and gave up the struggle completely.
Taking advantage of the time before dinner, Wei Ran picked out the remaining gems, packed them in cans and bottles, and drove them to the cheap tutor Kajik's office. These were intended to be sold directly, just for the purpose of collecting money.
It's just funds, so naturally this cycle won't take too long. According to Kajik, just wait for news at any time, and you can come and withdraw cash in a week at most.
After agreeing on a time, when Wei Ran drove back to his home, the dining table was already filled with several Chinese dishes including braised rabbit meat and spicy rabbit head. There was even a charcoal-fired dish in the middle.
Spicy red copper hot pot.
After such a long period of "training" by Suisui, the Katenka sisters, two girls raised by the KGB, have completely fallen into Chinese delicacies and are unwilling to extricate themselves. Even Lola has learned to use chopsticks early.
After the sliced beef and mutton were thoroughly enjoyed in the hot pot, they were skillfully dipped in sesame sauce and stuffed into her sister Korava's mouth.
"Just now Anfisa said that the next door will be renovated soon, and the customized furniture will be put in in the next few days."
Suisui picked up a large glass of cold beer and clinked it with everyone, downed half the glass in one gulp, took a drink and continued to ask, "What are you going to do with it after the decoration is completed?"
"First put in all the books that Mr. Nicholas sent and the old books we found in Mine No. 52."
Wei Ran put down his cup and thought for a moment, then turned to look at Lola, who was sitting between the Katenka sisters, "Lola, do you want to be the boss?"
"What did you say?" Lola, who had a piece of Boss's cooked mutton roll stuffed in her mouth, raised her head blankly and looked at Wei Ran.
"I asked, do you want to be your own boss?" Wei Ran asked with a smile.
"Me? Be the boss?" Lola swallowed the meat in her mouth in several mouthfuls and looked at Wei Ran more and more confused, "What is the boss?"
"Coffee shop?" Wei Ran revealed his plan with a smile, "I plan to open a library. Of course, it can be called a cafe. People will often go there to sit and sit there, and they will definitely want to drink something.
"
"When did this idea come to you?" Suisui asked in surprise. She had never thought of asking about this kind of thing, and Wei Ran had never mentioned it.
"Just before going to Mine 52"
Wei Ran picked up a piece of meat with chopsticks and stuffed it into his mouth, "When I went to Yudino to look for clues, a library was rebuilt there. It was the same library that Lola's grandfather was in charge of. I think we should build a library.
not bad."
"Can you make money?" Suisui asked suspiciously.
"Probably not." Wei Ran picked up the cup and took a sip, "But at least I won't lose money."
"It's my fault," Suisui joked, picking up the cup, "I expected that someone who studied history would be able to do business and make money. It's my fault."
"Does anyone still go to the library to sit and sit?" Anfisa asked her own question. In the past ten years, the two sisters have been living and working in bookstores, and they are the most experienced in this kind of thing.
of.
"There will always be people going there," Wei Ran said with a smile, "You can't expect that people who go to the library really just want to read books, right?"
"That's right, then just do what you want!" Suisui said in Chinese, "Are you going to compensate Lola?"
"After all, those stones have something to do with her, don't they?"
Wei Ran also responded jokingly in Chinese, "We have benefited so much, and if we don't spread the word, we will easily get retribution. And you can't let this little girl who is not yet an adult serve us tea for the rest of her life."
It's the job of pouring water, right?
In this case, why not find something for her to do? After all, her grandfather managed the library, so she must have inherited some talent or something, right?"
"Lola, do you want to be the boss?" Suisui switched back to Russian and expressed her attitude indirectly, "This will make it easier for you to take care of your sister. When she gets better in the future, you can run the cafe together.
.Of course! You don’t have to worry, we won’t charge you rent, and you don’t have to invest anything.”
When it comes to pie painting, among the people here, Suisui is undoubtedly the most professional. So as soon as she finished speaking, Lola was obviously excited after a brief panic, but then she looked at it quite at a loss.
To the Katenka sisters.
"Don't look at us," the Katenka sisters said in unison, "We have no interest in continuing to deal with books."
"I..." Lola gritted her teeth, "I want to try it!"
“Then give it a try”
Wei Ran picked up the cup and said jokingly, "Maybe it will be open after Christmas. If we go to drink then, remember to give us a discount."
As soon as the joke came out, Lola relaxed a lot, picked up the juice in front of her and clinked it with Wei Ran's cup.
Of course, these girls present didn't know that Wei Ran was also relieved when she agreed. After all, with one less girl, her habitat would be a little more spacious. When the time comes, Suisui will also take the Katenka sisters to the workshop.
In the office, haven’t the habitats that were lost before come back?
