In Dongfanghong Grocery Store, Su Lie's shouting surprised the perm-haired auntie.
"What's going on?" The perm-headed aunt subconsciously protected the little hairy girl named Sasha. At the same time, her hand subconsciously reached for the double-barreled shotgun hanging on the wall.
"Come here quickly!"
While Su Lie was speaking, he hurriedly unzipped his down jacket, then pulled out a leather cord from the collar, and then pulled out a bullet case that was also patinated and shook it, "The bullet case my grandfather gave me.
, I saw the same thing!”
"What did you say?! Where is it?"
The permed aunt immediately stood up and came over, following Su Lie's fingers and looking at Lola, who had a slightly panicked face.
"Child, don't be afraid!"
The woman with permed hair subconsciously spoke Chinese with a strong smell of big dirt, then slapped her thigh and asked in Russian, "Girl, where did you get the bullet casing on your neck?"
loubiqu.
Lola looked at Suisui and Wei Ran standing beside her as if asking for help, then looked at the Katenka sisters who had each torn open a bag of spiced braised eggs and put them in their mouths, and finally backed away slightly.
He explained step by step, "This was left to me by my grandfather."
"Your grandfather is..." The perm aunt changed the question halfway through her sentence, "Can you show me?"
"Sersi, my grandfather is Selsi Coca." Lola took off the bullet casing hanging around her neck and handed it to the permed aunt, but she honestly answered only half of her questions.
"Ersha, what's written on it?"
After taking the bullet casing, the perm-headed aunt took out a pair of reading glasses and put them on. She pointed at the inscriptions on them and asked. Obviously, although she spoke Russian very poorly, she could only speak it. This was also the case for many "half-way monks" who came to Russia to work hard.
This is a characteristic shared by Chinese people. Because their Russian language is completely polished by the surrounding environment.
"Thoughts are more powerful than weapons. We don't allow our enemies to have weapons, so why should we allow them to have ideas."
Su Lie took the bullet casing, turned it in a circle and read out the famous quote engraved on it, then pulled the bullet casing off his neck and handed it to Lola, "My grandfather gave it to me."
After a moment's hesitation, Lola reached out to take the bullet casing offered by the other party, and softly read out Stalin's famous quote engraved on it: "People with ideals, life is always fiery."
"What are you..." The perm aunt hesitated and returned the bullet casing to Lola. At the same time, Lola also returned the bullet casing in her hand to Su Lie.
"We were passing by here and saw a store, so we came over to buy some snacks." Wei Ran answered this half-asked question before Lola did, trying to make this an unexpected encounter.
"Does your bullet case also have demantoid garnet in it?" Su Lie asked while hanging the bullet case pendant back around his neck.
Lola was stunned for a moment, then nodded and replied almost as if it was a secret code, "Demantoid garnet from Mine No. 52."
"That's really a family!"
The permed aunt patted her thigh again, "Hey! Hurry! Call your dad, call your second uncle, no, call your grandpa first!"
After saying that, the aunt turned to Lola, Wei Ran and others and asked enthusiastically, "Why don't you leave in a hurry and have a meal together? It's not easy to meet someone like this!"
Hearing this, Lola subconsciously looked at Suisui and Wei Ran again, seeing them smiling and nodding, and then nodded accordingly.
"Let's go! Let's go home now!"
The perm-headed aunt's unusual enthusiasm was really overwhelming. As she spoke, she pulled the confused Lola out of the door as if she was carrying a little chicken. At the same time, she didn't forget to shout, "Er smash."
! Close the door and follow with little Sasha! Go to your second uncle’s house! Ask him to leave the main compartment quickly. "
"okay!"
Su Lie responded, dialing the number while forcing the money he just received from Wei Ran. Waiting until he hung up the phone, he immediately asked enthusiastically, "How did you get here?"
"We have a car." Wei Ran pointed to the business bread parked at the door. At the same time, he also saw that Anfisa had gotten into a red BMW car with Lola.
"If you have a seat in your car, leave two seats for me and my girlfriend." After saying that, Su Lie pointed to the plastic bags and shopping baskets in everyone's hands, "Take them all! I'll lock the door!"
Hearing this, Wei Ran and Suisui looked at each other with suppressed laughter, and politely took the snacks they had just chosen, and called the Katenka sisters, who were holding braised eggs and spicy strips, to leave the grocery store.
Almost immediately, Su Lie walked out of the grocery store with his little girlfriend Sasha, and pulled down the rolling shutter door and locked it with a clatter.
"What a cute little fox!"
The moment the little blond girl got into the carriage, she spotted the little fox in the cage with gleaming eyes, and Su Lie also saw the dog Beria looking straight at him.
"It...it doesn't bite, does it?" Su Lie protected the little furry girl named Sasha and asked nervously.
"Don't bite, get in the car." As Wei Ran spoke, he had already put a muzzle on Beria and drove him to the rear of the carriage. At the same time, Suisui also pulled Korava and sat on the dog's back.
On the position next to the child.
Hearing this, Su Lie and his girlfriend got into the car and sat in the seats specially reserved for them.
"Follow that red BMW," Su Lie said after closing the door and pointing to the car waiting for them with double flashes in front of him.
Before he finished speaking, Anfiya, who was in charge of driving, had already started the car and stepped on the accelerator. It also flashed twice and followed steadily behind the red BMW.
"Su Lie, what's going on?" Wei Ran asked knowingly.
“It’s a long story to say.”
Su Lie turned around and pulled out the bullet shell pendant from his collar again and explained, "My grandfather had some very good friends in his generation, and this pendant was given to him by one of my grandfather's uncles. Later, after the Soviet Union collapsed,
Several families lost contact. A few years ago, when my grandfather was still in good health, he went to Kazan almost every year to look for those friends. Now I still go there to look for my grandfather every year. By the way, you are
Where did it come from?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Wei Ran and Suisui looked at each other and replied in unison, "Kazan!"
"I knew it! It must be Kazan!" Su Lie laughed loudly, "What a coincidence that we can meet him so far away!"
After thinking for a while, Wei Ran asked knowingly, "So your family came to Russia from China very early?"
"That's not good!"
Su Lie stuffed the bullet shell pendant back into his collar, "When my grandfather came, the little Japanese had just surrendered. At that time, this place was still called the Soviet Union."
"So long?" Suisui asked in surprise, "After so long, you still speak Chinese so well?"
"No," Su Lie said with some pride, "our family's situation is a bit special. You will understand when we get home and let our old man explain it to you."
Before he finished speaking, the red BMW leading the way had already parked in the parking lot in front of a Chinese restaurant.
By the time Anfia parked the rented car, a Mercedes-Benz parked almost right next to the red BMW.
Immediately afterwards, everyone who was getting off the bus saw a hunky-backed middle-aged man coming out of the hotel door. At the same time, a tall middle-aged man wearing glasses and a suit also stepped out of the driver's seat of the Mercedes-Benz SUV.
He pushed the door down from the room, then opened the door of the rear compartment, and helped an old man out with the perm lady who walked over in advance.
It's interesting to say that although this old man has chicken skin and gray hair, he has obvious mixed-race characteristics. If nothing else, at least his skin is not as white as that of Slavs, but it is also much whiter than that of Asian old people. At the same time, he is taller.
The straight nose bridge and blue eyes are also particularly eye-catching.
On the other hand, the middle-aged man who supported him could no longer see any Slavic characteristics except that his facial features were more three-dimensional. And the middle-aged strong man who walked out of the restaurant and also greeted him was even more mature.
Asian.
"That's my grandpa"
Su Lie pointed at the old man and helped introduce him, "The tall and skinny one is my father, and the strong one is my second uncle. My aunt is probably busy in the kitchen at the moment. I will introduce you to him later."
"
While he was introducing, Anfisa also brought Lola to Wei Ran and Suisui, and the old man also looked over under the guidance of the permed aunt.
"Let's go over and get to know each other." Wei Ran winked at Suisui, who immediately took Lola's little hand and followed her up.
"Are you Sersi's granddaughter?" the old man asked in Russian with some excitement, "Are you already this old?"
"Yes, I am, I am Lola, Lola Coca." Lola was obviously not used to such a crowded scene, and almost everyone could hear the nervousness in her tone.
"Good boy, how is your grandfather?" The old man asked with a smile, "Does he still suffer from filial piety asthma often?"
"He...he died almost three months ago." Lola said with a rather depressed expression.
The old man raised his eyebrows when he heard this. Mingzhi did not continue the topic. He just turned around and said in Chinese with a strong flavor of stubble, "Second brother, let your wife take care of herself."
"Why!"
The burly middle-aged man responded angrily, took off the walkie-talkie from his waist and shouted, and then he and Su Lie's father helped hold the glass door at the entrance of the hotel.
"It's cold outside, let's go inside and chat."
The old man let Su Lie and his mother support him and walked towards the door of the hotel, but from the beginning to the end, he was holding on to Lola's sleeves, as if he was afraid that the rather overwhelmed girl would run away.
When Wei Ran, Suisui and the Katenka sisters, led by Su Lie's little Maomei girlfriend, followed them into the hotel, they immediately smelled the aroma of barbecue coming from the shop. At the same time, they also saw the people in the lobby.
Maozi diners sitting around the dining table, drinking and eating skewers, or compatriots speaking Chinese.
Under the guidance of the little hairy girl, everyone took the elevator to the second floor and got into a private room large enough to hold two large round tables.
When everyone was seated, both parties introduced themselves to each other with the help of Su Lie. As expected, the old man was the Su Wu mentioned in the notebook, and the two middle-aged men were his sons.
But what makes Wei Ran dumbfounded is that the old man's name seems to be based on celebrities from Chinese history.
His eldest son's name is Su Qin, and his second son's name is Su Dai. Together with his eldest grandson Su Lie, the three generations of this family almost have all the awesome names of the old Su family.
Not only that, even his second son's only daughter was given the good name "Su Mulan" by the old man. However, this girl is currently in China, and there is obviously no chance to meet her this time.
After getting to know them as a big family, when it was Wei Ran and others' turn to introduce themselves, they had a hard time talking about their relationship with Lola. After all, they couldn't say that they had just met each other almost a month ago.
Did you capture Lola at your doorstep?
Fortunately, this innocent and confused little girl finally got smart at the critical moment and took the initiative to erase the tragic experience of being locked up in the basement, only saying that Wei Ran and others rescued her from the hands of her evil aunt.
Not only did she and Korava leave, he also gave the sisters food, shelter, and even Russian passports. He also planned to help them open a cafe after the year.
Not only that, this girl also took the initiative to reveal the fact that they had just returned from Mine No. 52, the reason why they went to Mine No. 52, and so on.
"Did you go to Mine 52?"
Mr. Su Wu first glanced at Wei Ran with a strange expression, who was smiling the whole time, and then asked with a normal expression, "So you saw the tombstone of political commissar Krechi? Did you see the body of Uncle Mikita?"
"Look...I saw it"
Laura nodded quickly and replied, "We also placed food and drinks in front of the tombstone, and also blocked the door of that building."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Alas!"
The old man sighed, "Speaking of which, I've never been there since my mother passed away."
"Have you also been to Mine No. 52?" Wei Ran couldn't help but asked in surprise.
“Of course I have!”
Mr. Su Wu picked up the cup and took a sip, "Since Uncle Mikita passed away, until my mother passed away in 1980, I went to visit every winter."
Having said this, Mr. Su Wu pointed to his two sons sitting next to him, "My mother and Uncle Paulide took me there at first. Later, she couldn't move, and Uncle Paulide also passed away unexpectedly.
So I went there by myself, and later, I even took them two with me."
"That place is too cold," a middle-aged man named Su Qin said with a warm heart. "I remember one time when I went there, I almost got picked up by a wolf."
"No," Su Dai, a middle-aged man next to him, said, "I was only seven years old when I went there for the first time. I was so frightened by the howling of wolves at night that I didn't dare to leave my sleeping bag to pee."
"Old man, do you know what happened in Mine No. 52 back then?" Wei Ran asked tentatively.
"This matter started a long time ago. Of course, these are what Cecil and Uncle Paulide told me."
Mr. Su Wu paused and recounted what happened in Mine No. 52. At the same time, he also overturned the false truth originally constructed from the confession.
Lola looked down at the bullet shell pendant hanging around her neck, and murmured to herself, "I didn't expect my grandfather and the others would have obtained those gems a long time ago."
"It must have been 1966. I remember it was New Year's Eve soon, and Uncle Paulide took Selsi to my house."
Su Wu sighed, stared at the liquor in the glass and recalled, "That was also the first time I saw them. Before that, I had only heard of them in my mother's descriptions.
At that time, they told my mother that Uncle Mikita died in Mine No. 52, and they also sent a lot of gems. But thanks to those small stones, after my mother sold those gems, our family was able to drive a car and use it.
I got a TV set. Later I moved into a big house. Finally, my whole family no longer had to squeeze into a tube building of less than 30 square meters.
But even then, we still had a lot of gems in our hands, and of course, we also saved a lot of money. At that time, our family went to Yudino to visit Sersi and his mother almost every year.
Later, my mother suddenly wanted to return to Khabarovsk in the last few years, and the contact between us became less and less. Later, Sersi and his family also moved to Kharkef. My second child was also born.
, everyone is busy with their respective families, and the contact is becoming less and less.”
Having said this, Su Wu drank the last sip of liquor in his cup, and the perm-headed aunt took the small wine glass from his hand. Obviously, the old man's liquor consumption today was low.
Mr. Su Wu smiled apologetically at Wei Ran and the others, took a piece of food and put it into his mouth, and continued to say slowly, "Then the Soviet Union disintegrated, and Harkefu became Harkefu in another country. I and I
Selsi also lost contact completely.
But even so, the gems he polished for us were of great help. If it hadn't been for those beautiful little gems, our family would have been hungry again in the years after the disintegration."
After telling the story, Mr. Su Wu first pointed at Su Lie who was sitting closest to the door, then glanced at Wei Ran meaningfully, and continued to say slowly, "In that pendant, there is the last piece we have left.
Stone. Speaking of which, that was a wedding gift given to me by Uncle Mikita.
Now that Su Lie has a girlfriend, I will give him the pendant. But I didn't expect that less than half a year after I gave it away, I would meet you."
"Maybe this is what we say in the old saying: we are destined to meet thousands of miles apart."
As Wei Ran spoke, he picked up the cup and toasted to the old man sitting opposite him from afar. Just from the look in the old man's eyes, he already knew that the other man must have guessed something.
The topic about Mine No. 52 came to an end, and a large table full of people began to chat about various topics. Even Mr. Su Wu, after chatting with Lola for a while, even called Wei Ran.
Arrive in front of me.
It was through chatting with this old man that Wei Ran also learned indirectly that the name of Mr. Su Wu had nothing to do with the sheep shepherd Su Wu. It was just because his father, the man who fought in the war in 1945, had nothing to do with him.
The dead Northeast Anti-Japanese resistance fighters only had "武" or "五" in their names.
As for Pontiac's head nurse, no, perhaps it should be said, the mother named Su Shengnan, according to Slavic tradition, let their son inherit his father's name.
Of course, in Su Wu's memories, his mother let him inherit not only his name, but also the hometown of him and his father, a city in China in this era that is famous for its barbecue and low housing prices - Hegang.
But at the same time, Wei Ran also knew that in the memory of head nurse Su Sheng, when she went to China in 1945 and rushed to Hegang, she only found a mass grave washed out by rain in her husband's hometown.
Now the head nurse Su Sheng has passed away long ago, but her son Su Wu has never given up looking for his way back home.
This mixed-race man with blue eyes and a high nose accidentally married a Chinese woman in the 1960s and gave birth to two sons. He also relied on the Chinese he learned from his mother and his wife to teach him
The two sons were given two extremely classical Chinese names.
After the collapse of the Soviet Union, he finally had the opportunity to go to China and find the small city that he had heard of countless times but had never been to. Since then, he has visited and searched for it again and again.
"What do you want to find there?" Wei Ran couldn't help but interrupt Su Wu's memory and asked.
"I don't know either"
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Su Wu spread his hands in his seventies, "My mother said, if it were not for the war, I might have been born and raised there, and I would have many relatives there, and I would
Become a Chinese. I always thought so before I went there."
"Then what?" Suisui, who was listening to the story, asked.
"Then..."
Su Wu smiled bitterly, "But when I went there again and again, I discovered that I, an old man with blue eyes and a high nose, seemed to never be able to become a Chinese. In that city, there are most likely to be my relatives.
They are just one or a few of the countless corpses in the mass graves in Dongshan."
Having said this, Su Wu pointed to his second son and said with a smile, "Although I didn't find my relatives in Hegang, this bastard found his relatives. His wife is from there. Today,
His wife prepared a large table of dishes."
"No wonder your barbecue is so delicious." As Suisui spoke, she took a handful of beef skewers from Anfisa.
“If you like to eat, stay two more days”
Su Wu said and pointed to his eldest son Su Qin, "His wife is also Chinese, from Manchuria, and Su Lie's child follows his mother's household registration. Tell me, I can be considered as acknowledging my ancestors, right?"
"
"Calculate!"
Wei Ran nodded vigorously. There was nothing more to say about this old man being able to do this job. If head nurse Su Shengnan could not let him forget his roots, he could be called a qualified mother.
"The biggest regret in my life is that I lost contact with Selsi." Su Wu lowered his voice slightly when he said this, "Young man, thank you for bringing her here and letting me meet her."
"You know?" Wei Ran asked pretending to be surprised.
"I watch the news every day"
Su Wu said with a smile, "After you introduced yourself, and when Lola said that you helped her find Mine No. 52, I guessed that you guys definitely didn't come here by chance. How can there be such a coincidence in this world?
.”
"Sorry, I'm late." Wei Ran took out an exquisite wine bottle from his pocket and shook it as he spoke, "Old man, take a sip from the bar in your hometown!"
