In the warm classroom, as the last ray of piano sound drifted away, Sui Xin smoothed the strings with unfinished content.
"What song is this?" Wei Ran asked, pouring a cup of tea for the other party. < /p>
"It's a bit difficult for me," Wei Ran said truthfully, and then immediately changed the subject, "When will you start recording videos? Do you need my help?"
"Now "
Sui Xin looked up at the electronic watch on the opposite wall, and while turning her wheelchair to the table in the corner, she said apologetically, "Well... the time I recorded the video may be longer. "Chief, you may have to wait a little longer."
"It doesn't matter. If it doesn't work, it's okay to leave Qin here first." Wei Ran stood up and helped the other party push the wheelchair to where she wanted to go. .
"No, never!"
Sui Xin rejected the former's proposal without even thinking, "Don't talk about it, just the Youquan bed you brought here before You can even change it to my shop. I don’t dare to let you put such valuable things here."
Shaking his head in confusion, Wei Ran did not argue and helped the other party take it from a plastic box. I took out the tripod and set up the SLR, connected a professional-looking pickup, and then left the piano room and walked into the elevator.
Listening to the intermittently faint music of the piano from upstairs and Sui Xin's explanation, Wei Ran stepped lightly. Then he saw that Sui Xin's father had put a temporary suspension sign at the door of the supermarket.
"Afraid of disturbing her," the uncle said in a low voice, "Let's go and sit inside?"
Wei Ran nodded and helped the other party gently pull the rolling shutter door. Go up, and then the two of them walked through the small door leading to the inner room and walked into a small living room that was not too big.
Compared with my aunt’s family, perhaps Sui Xin’s family is a true reflection of the Chinese people who work hard away from home.
The room is small and not very well-lit, the kitchen is also small but full of smoke, and the stairs leading to the second floor are filled with various sundries and the walls of a family of three. The group photo in the background, of course, and the lush garlic seedlings planted in large plastic bottles on the sill of the only window.
Dad Sui Xin gently closed the door, "The house is a little messy, which makes you laugh."
"It's not messy, it's much better than mine." Wei Ran At the other party's signal, he sat on the sofa, took the tea cup from the other party and asked, "Uncle Sui, how long have you been coming to Maozi's place?"
"It's been a long time"
Dad Sui Xin pointed to a photo on the wall and said with emotion, "When I first came to Russia, the Soviet Union had just disintegrated less than a year ago. At that time, I followed my friends from my hometown, including my brothers. Carrying two sacks filled with clothes, shoes or lighters, I took a taxi from China.I took the next train to Moscow to set up a stall, then bought a lot of bargains from Moscow, and then took a week's train back home. "
Speaking of this, Sui Xin's father pointed to Sui Xin's mother who was busy in the kitchen, "At that time, your aunt was in China helping me prepare the things to be dumped here, and she also helped with the food. I sold the things I carried back from Moscow, back and forth twice a month. Those days were so painful that I trembled even in my dreams. ”
“Have you been here for so many years? "Wei Ran clicked his tongue. Is this the first batch of bad guys?"
"I didn't work for less than two years and then stopped,"
Sui Xin's father Shaking his head, he continued to recall, "I made a little money at that time, but there were more and more robberies on the train, so I simply went back to my hometown. Later, after the girl Sui Xin was born, her legs were in trouble, and all the money she had earned in the treatment expenses all those years ago did not improve.
Six or seven years ago, I thought there might be a chance here. After the girl finished junior high school, the whole family moved here. At that time, it was thanks to your aunt and your uncle's help that it was possible. Open the supermarket. "
"Life is not easy."
Wei Ran sighed, his aunt was married, and his uncle Jiu Mengzi was more or less up to par, so life was easy. Not bad. But for more people like Sui Xin who go abroad to work hard, most of their lives are really not as glamorous as others think, and the glamor they present is actually nothing more than hard work and sweat that others cannot see. It's just in exchange for tears mixed with blood.
While chatting with Sui Xin's father, the sky outside the window was getting darker a little, and the square table in the living room was not that big. There were also various side dishes and a red copper hot pot with a charcoal fire. Not long after, Sui Xin was pushed over by her mother in a wheelchair.
"Did you finish recording? "Wei Ran asked curiously.
"The recording is over." Sui Xin moved her red fingers and thanked, "Thanks to your help this time. "
"Can't I still have a hot pot meal? "Wei Ran revealed the matter jokingly.
While eating hot hot pot around the table, everyone's conversation changed from the hardships of Uncle Sui's years as a gangster to Sui Xin. Over the years, when I was teaching Mao Mao how to play the guzheng, all kinds of silly people came up with all kinds of weird and wonderful things.
The dinner ended with laughter, Wei Ran picked up the piano case and joined this warm family. After seeing each other off, they left the brightly lit small supermarket.
On the way back, Wei Ran, who had not had a few drinks, became more and more aware that Sui Xin borrowed the piano. It was just an insignificant episode in this rare vacation.
But for the girl who could only sit in a wheelchair all day long, it helped her training class so much that it made her happy. He happily chatted with his parents at the dinner table for a long time, and Wei Ran also received the gratitude of the family.
Then the "little favor" Gorman asked him to do will be given again.Who brings much change?
Parking the car at the entrance of the studio and sitting in the car until the engine became cold, he could not come up with an accurate answer.
After getting into the studio and locking the rolling shutter door, Wei Ran began to think about the issue of translation for the trip to the United States.
Suisui or Kajianka, the only two candidates have their own advantages and disadvantages. From the bottom of his heart, he would never take Suisui on an adventure. Otherwise, if there was any danger, not to mention his aunt and Professor Alexei would not be able to explain it, and even his parents would probably It’s all going to turn upside down.
After all, this girl Katenka is inextricably linked to the KGB. Whether taking her with her will cause additional trouble is something he cannot consider.
As for going alone, Wei Ran had not thought about it, but the person he wanted to meet had a special status, which forced him to treat it with caution. From this point of view, carrying Kajianka has more advantages than disadvantages.
Thinking of this, Wei Ran simply took out the laptop Katianka had given him, connected it to the authenticator he took out of the food box, and prepared to ask the other party about his situation before making a decision.
After waiting for a while, Katenka's sleepy voice came from the laptop's speaker, "What's wrong, boss?"
"Did it disturb your rest?"< /p>
Wei Ran then glanced at the time in the lower right corner. Although it was already past nine o'clock in the evening here, if the time difference was included, it would be around six o'clock in the afternoon on the other side.
"No, I just took a nap while there were no customers in the bar." Katenka breathed and asked, "What do you need me to do?"
"Speak English "?" Wei Ran, who was disturbing his dream, asked a little embarrassed.
"Yes, of course I will." Katenka's tone gradually sobered up, "Do you need my help to translate something?"
"No." Wei Ran hesitated for a moment and continued to ask. , "Is it convenient for you to go to the United States? Will there be any trouble?"
"Why is it not convenient?"
Katenka asked strangely, and then seemed to realize that the former was worried What? He said with a smile, "Don't worry, boss, my background is very clean. I just went to the United States for a trip. There won't be any trouble."
"Really?" Wei Ran asked worriedly road.
"Since you are my boss, I think there will be no joking between us." Katenka said seriously, "Besides, I cherish my life very much."
p>Hearing this, Wei Ran did not respond hastily, but carefully considered the consequences of taking Katenka with him and the troubles he might encounter, and then hesitantly asked, "In that case, How about a trip to the United States with me recently?"
"With you?"
Katenko was stunned, "This is against the rules. The less we usually see each other, the better. ...Forget it, I didn’t say it, I really want to go out for a walk, so what time is it?”
After listening to the other party.There was a trace of excitement in his tone that could not be concealed. Wei Ran shook his head helplessly and gave an ambiguous answer, "As soon as possible. You can go to the United States by yourself and go anywhere for a few days. As long as you remember not to mess with Just trouble. I'll let you know before I leave, and you can pick me up at the Dallas Airport in Texas in advance."
"I need to find a way to get some weapons from the local area or..."
"No need"
Wei Ran didn't wait for the other party to finish speaking before he said, "I'm just here for fun. I just need a trustworthy translator. So neither I nor you need it." You don’t need to prepare any weapons if you do anything dangerous. Of course, you can rent a car in advance if it’s convenient.”
“No problem, I’ll send you an email before departure.”
"You are a tourist," Wei Ran reminded him uneasily at the end.
"I know, I know, I'm still a translator, is there anything else?"
Katenko's voice was slightly farther away, and at the same time, there was also a sound coming from the laptop speaker. The sound of rummaging through boxes and cabinets. Apparently, the girl was already making preparations.
"That's it, remember not to get into trouble." After Wei Ran finished speaking, he reached out and unplugged the authenticator connected to the computer and put it back into the food box in the metal book.
"I have to find a chance to improve my English, otherwise it will be too much trouble..."
Wei Ran secretly muttered something he had said more than once before, while heading towards the bedroom on the second floor. As I walked, I was wondering if I might have a chance to find some "orderly inherited" World War II objects this time in the United States, and send myself to a relatively safe battlefield to learn cultural knowledge.
Using the period of time before departure, Wei Ran found an excuse to push things like visas to his mother who also runs a travel agency in China, while he himself put all his experiences into When I looked through the history of the US military's participation in World War II, I tried to pick out a relatively safe battle with a strong sense of utilitarianism.
With only the last day left of the year, Weiran’s flight landed smoothly at the Capital Airport in China.
When he walked out of the airport pick-up gate with his large and small luggage, Suisui, who came specially to pick him up, immediately grabbed the suitcase and asked, "My godmother said you are going to the United States?"
"I knew I couldn't hide it..."
Wei Ran muttered helplessly to himself, and while handing the luggage to the other party, he replied, "I really want to run away. I'm not going to play in America, I'm going to meet someone."
"Oh? That's it?" Wei Ran looked at Suisui in surprise. That’s not the style of this gadget.
"Then what's going on?" Suisui asked innocently, "Why did I stop you and not let you go?"
"Okay, pretend I didn't ask. "Wei Ran hoped that the other party was not interested in this matter, so naturally he wouldn't say anything else.
Wander along the way and stop asking questions.In the parking lot, Suisui took out her car key and pressed it as if to show off. Suddenly, a car with flashy stickers not far away flashed its lights.
"How's it going? I bought it with my own money!" Suisui asked with a proud look on her hips, "I killed a lot of fat sheep to lose the full price! Full payment!"
p>
"This toy car is really good, and it can even be registered." Wei Ran deliberately teased the other party, fearing that the other party would mention something related to the United States again.
Suisui rolled her eyes, "Are you afraid that it can still drive away from a garbage truck on the highway? Get in the car quickly."
"Where to go?" General Wei Ran He asked as he stuffed the luggage he brought back into the car with difficulty.
"Let's go to your house"
Suisui had already started the car as she spoke, "It's rare that you come back so early, we just celebrate New Year's Day together. My godmother didn't go to the travel agency today. Listen, "I've been preparing meals since morning." "What about you? Are you on vacation?" Wei Ran asked as he got into the passenger seat.
"No"
Suisui drove the car out of the parking lot with a thoughtful look, "But I have finished the exam. After the New Year's Day holiday, I will go back and stay for a few more days before the winter vacation. "
"Didn't you fail the exam this year?" Wei Ran deliberately made a mistake by not picking up which pot, which raised Suisui's anger level little by little.
"I didn't fail last year either!" Suisui glanced at Wei Ran, grinned and stepped on the accelerator, slightly increasing the speed of the car.
"Okay, just pretend you didn't die last year. My aunt and uncle are both in Finland now. Where do you plan to spend your Christmas this year?"
Wei Ranyong In a nonchalant tone, he asked the question he wanted to ask from the beginning. As long as this little thing returns to Volgograd, there is no need to worry about her following him.
"Of course I have gone back. I heard that the filming of that lousy movie has been completed as planned a year ago, and the two of them are also preparing to return to Volgograd." Suisui replied matter-of-factly, "I'll leave on the morning of the 6th. , landing just in time for Christmas, my parents will probably be home by then."
"I'll take you to the airport then"
Wei Ran responded quietly at the same time. He took a breath and then moved the topic to other aspects without any trace. He didn't notice at all that the former was placed in the bag between the two of them. The passport with only a corner exposed actually contained two tickets. He didn't expect what would happen in the next few days. There is something waiting for you.
