In the warm used bookstore, Wei Ran and Mr. Nicholas guarded the fireplace and chatted about recent changes, plans for next year, and even the friends around them. From time to time, Mr. Nicholas would also give some advice.
, or made some jokes, but from beginning to end, the old man and the young man, who were friends for many years, had a tacit understanding and never talked about any topic about the Katenka sisters.
It felt as if Katenka was still in the bookstore in Vienna, as if Katenka had been buried in the cemetery, as if the twin girls who came back with Wei Ran and Suisui this time were just natives of Worku.
Anfisa the Tatar is the same as Anfia.
Before they could finish talking about the town of Tula, Suisui, who was originally next door, ran over and opened the glass door, leaned half of her body in and said with a smile, "My mother asked you to come over for dinner."
"We'll be there soon." As he spoke, Wei Ran put down the cup he was holding, stood up, and tried to help Nicholas, who was already in his nineties, stand up.
"I haven't reached the point where I need help yet."
Nicholas waved his hand and refused Wei Ran's help. He put down the cup, put the little fox in his arms at his feet and stood up. As he walked out, he asked, "What delicious food did your mother make today?"
"The main dishes are braised pork, sweet and sour pork ribs and steamed fish. In addition, there are also scrambled eggs with tomatoes and carrot sweet potatoes that you like." Suisui said in Chinese as if announcing the name of the dish, and then switched to Russian and asked with a smile.
, "How many do you understand?"
"Braised pork, sweet and sour pork ribs, steamed fish, scrambled eggs with tomatoes and shredded sweet potatoes?"
As Mr. Nicholas walked out, he repeated the name of the dish that the other party had just reported in standard Chinese, and then asked in Russian with a smile, "Am I right?"
"That's absolutely right!"
Suisui showed a sunny smile, made a special gesture with her hand, and asked rather flatteringly, "How about letting my dad drink some wine at noon today? It's as high as that!"
"Unless you give me a drink too." When Nicholas said this, he also imitated the other party's gestures, "I also want that much, and I only drink vodka."
"Deal!" As Suisui spoke, she stretched out her hand towards Nicholas in a serious manner.
Mr. Nicholas was stunned, and with a smile, he stretched out his hand to kiss Suisui, and followed him into the travel agency where he went almost every day. In contrast, Wei Ran, who had just been busy pulling down the rolling shutter door,
At first it seemed like it had been forgotten.
On the second floor of the travel agency where it was a rare annual vacation, everyone, including Mr. Nicholas, gathered around a big table and had a lively meal. Professor Alexei, who had not had a drink for who knows how long,
I was finally allowed a small glass of gin.
After the initial nervousness and restraint, even the Katenka sisters completely let go and enjoyed all the Chinese delicacies on the table that they had never tasted before.
In contrast, Lola was the most calm girl. She ate leisurely throughout the meal, while not forgetting to take care of her sister.
In just one meal, this little girl's somewhat tragic life experience won the sympathy of all the "adults", including Nicholas.
After three rounds of wine and five delicious dishes, Sister Katenka, who never drank alcohol during the whole process, took the initiative to take over the job of sending Mr. Nicholas back to the next door to rest. Lola also fainted after tasting a glass of wine that Suisui poured for her.
Huhu pulled her sister back to the room.
At the same time, Suisui and her mother also worked together to set up the mahjong table and greeted Professor Wei Ran and Alexei to play a few games of "family cards".
Next door, after watching Mr. Nicholas go upstairs, Katenka did not rush back. Instead, he just stood outside the door, looking at the tiny snowflakes falling above his head, and asked in disbelief, "So
Say, are we really free?"
"Maybe," Anfisa murmured in response.
"Other than being more relaxed, there doesn't seem to be any difference." Anfiya looked down at her hands. The ten fingernails were still decorated with the manicure sequins that Suisui took them to do in Chita not long ago.
"There is really no difference." Anfisa looked at the upstairs of the travel agency next door. "This job is not bad. It seems that we can keep doing it."

"Yeah! I like to play ranked." Anfiya said inexplicably, "And raising rabbits."
"Let's go!" Anfisa smiled, took her sister's arm, and walked easily into the travel agency next door.
At the same time, in the bedroom, Mr. Nicholas quietly closed the window that opened a gap, and then closed the heavy curtains. Then he took out a PSS silent pistol from his cuff and fired
It was pressed under the pillow.
In the blink of an eye, the next morning came. After having breakfast, Zhou Shujin greeted Suisui and several other girls early and took a car straight to the largest shopping mall in the city to prepare for the upcoming New Year. By the way, it was natural.
He left the task of clearing the table to Wei Ran and Professor Alexei.
"Where do you plan to go later?" Wei Ran asked Professor Alexei proactively.
"Are you interested in going to Golonid Island with me?" Professor Alexei, who was busy cleaning the table, asked with a smile.
"What are you doing there?"
Wei Ran asked in confusion. This so-called Golonid Island is in the middle of the Volga River. Although it sounds like an island in the middle of the river, in fact, because it is located at a bend in the Volga River, its area is not large at all.
Small.
However, because the transportation is not very convenient, and both sides of the strait are only accessible by ferry, the island is not as prosperous as Volgograd, and it does not have such a large permanent population.
Or to be more precise, apart from one relatively large factory, there are only four or five villages of various sizes, large tracts of farmland and some scattered small forests.
Thinking again about the last time I went there, before I graduated from college, I went hunting wild ducks on that island with Professor Alexei.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "You will know when you get there." Professor Alexei wiped the table randomly and threw the rag on the window sill, "Let's go quickly!"
"Do I need to bring anything?" Wei Ran asked as he walked downstairs.
"No, you don't need to bring anything. Oh! Maybe you can bring your Belial."
Professor Alexei obviously didn't want to explain too much. He hurried downstairs and said hello to Mr. Nicholas who was wiping his motorcycle next door. However, he didn't even bother to lock the door, so he greeted Wei Ran and drove into the travel agency's van.
Headed towards the pier.
I hurriedly and slowly drove the van onto the ferry. The crossing distance was only over 800 meters without wasting much time, and it stopped at an old-looking pier.
"Go straight along this road," Professor Alexei said from the passenger seat, pointing to the road covered with thin snow outside the window.
Hearing this, Wei Ran didn't bother to ask any more questions. He simply stepped on the accelerator and drove whatever the other party pointed out. However, what he didn't expect was that after driving for six or seven kilometers, the car stopped again.
On the banks of the Volga River.
He looked out the car window at the wooden carvings that were only a hundred meters away from the shore. Before Wei Ran could say anything, Professor Alexei had already opened the car door and said, "Hurry up."
get off".
"What is this place?"
Wei Ran looked around and asked in confusion. They had just driven all the way and passed by a small town. But when they got here, apart from the sparse birch and pine forests, there were only
The next piece of farmland is planted with winter wheat, and the wooden house that I just saw at a glance.
"This is the land I bought secretly"
Professor Alexei said as he walked towards the wooden house, "The area you see, including the small forest enclosed by the fence, totals two hectares."
"Are you planning to switch to farming?" Wei Ran asked while pulling the dog to stop it from running around.
"Your aunt really plans to plant something."
Professor Alexey glanced at Wei Ran, "Especially after visiting your home in Kazan, she has been wanting to grow something. I think this small farm should be enough for her."
"So...this is your holiday farm?" Wei Ran asked with a grin.
"To be precise, it's a New Year's gift from me to your aunt. She doesn't know this place exists yet."
Professor Alexey searched through his pockets one by one, and finally found a set of keys and unlocked the wooden door.
Following Professor Alexei into the room, Wei Ran couldn't help but nodded. Although this house looked ordinary from the outside, it was really nice inside.
"The house has two floors, with six bedrooms on each floor."
Professor Alexey kicked the cardboard box in the living room while speaking, "I have bought all the decorations needed for New Year and Christmas, so Victor..."
"You don't want me to come over and help you clean your room, do you?" Wei Ran finally realized that he had been tricked again.
"Why else would I ask you to come here? Drink with me?"
While Professor Alexei was speaking, he had already taken out a large brush, a mask and a pair of dustproof glasses and handed them to Wei Ran, "This is a gift I have been preparing for several months. Don't mess it up for me."
"Did you know I wouldn't be able to sleep at home..." Wei Ran muttered angrily.
"Clean the room for me, and I will give you a gift later." Professor Alexei said as he lit the firewood in the fireplace.
"What gift? Soviet rubles?" Wei Ran asked subconsciously.
"Fart! Fart your Stalinist fart!"
Professor Alexei smiled and threw a bunch of keys to Wei Ran, "It's in the garage next door. If you're interested, go and see for yourself."
Hearing this, Wei Ran took the key suspiciously, ran out of the room, and rushed to the garage next to him. The garage was quite large. Judging from the width of the door, two people could easily park side by side.
There is nothing wrong with a truck. Even the height is enough for a crawler tractor to drive in.
It took a lot of effort to open the rusty padlock. When Wei Yan opened the rusty iron door, the first thing he saw was a GAZ 24 sedan with its tires removed and covered with dust.
.
"Is it just this crap?"
Wei Ran grunted in disgust, but then he discovered that it was not that simple, because there seemed to be two broken wings on the cargo bed of a walk-behind tractor on the right side of the car.
Forget it, there is still a broken airplane propeller hanging on the wall behind the car!
He tried to flip the old-fashioned switch on the wall of the garage. With a crisp "click" sound, several incandescent lamps hanging on the ceiling were successfully lit, and Wei Ran quickly walked around to the other end of the car.
Carefully lifting up a dusty old canvas in the corner, Wei Ran couldn't help but widen his eyes. Under the canvas, there was actually the main body of an airplane!
No, no, no, maybe we should change it to a more accurate term. This is a Me-109 single-seat, single-engine, single-wing, all-metal aircraft with its wings removed and the rear half of its body missing. It was heavily equipped by the German army during World War II.
Piston fighter!
What is quite commendable is that although the wings of this aircraft were removed and the tail was missing, the nose was basically intact. Even the glass of the cockpit, the two front landing gears, and even the painting on them were maintained.
Wearing complete!
Turning around and climbing onto the cargo compartment of the walking tractor, Wei Ran wiped the dust accumulated on it with the mask he had just received, and then discovered that there was an iron cross drawn with white paint on the wing! Not only that,
Under a canvas in the cargo compartment of the walking tractor, there were actually four tires from the car, as well as a seat that seemed to have been removed from the car!
Just at this moment, Professor Alexei also walked in from outside.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Where did this come from?" Wei Ran jumped off the cargo hopper and asked in surprise.
"They were in this garage when I bought the land."
Professor Alexey said proudly, "At that time, the car was covered with a layer of canvas, and there were all kinds of debris piled on top of the car. I only discovered these things when I was cleaning it up."
"Where is the previous landlord?" Wei Ran, who suffered from occupational diseases, subconsciously asked.
"Died five years ago"
Alexei pointed in the direction of the village not far away, "The owner of the house is from that village. His son wanted to leave the island and move to the city in the autumn, so he sold this place and the village.
house."
"So, he had no idea there was a car and a... uh... three-quarters of a plane?"
"Who knows?"
Alexei spread his hands, "But I guess that plane was dug out of this farmland. If you look carefully, you will find that the painting on it was all hand-painted, and there are also remaining traces on the instrument panel.
A lot of dirt."
“It makes sense”
Wei Ran couldn't help but nodded. Among other things, during the Battle of Stalingrad, there were many fighter jets flying around like flies above the city on the other side of the Volga River.
"How about cleaning this house for me and washing the GAZ sedan for me, and then the plane will be yours?" Professor Alexei asked with a smile.
"My grandma and grandpa could hear this clearly in Baiyangdian."
Wei Ran joked as he walked out, "That broken plane can't fly into the sky, so there is no need or value to repair it. In comparison, you might as well give me that broken car."
"That's not possible," Professor Alexei refused without even thinking, "Why don't you help me clean the room first? We can talk about the car and plane later?"
"For the sake of preparing a gift for my aunt," Wei Ran took the new mask from the other party as he spoke.
