Chapter 470 The Fishing Painter

At eight o'clock in the evening, Wei Ran, who had already taken a bath, walked into a spacious room on the second floor under the leadership of Yana.

"You can sleep here these days"

Yana helped close the curtains and kept explaining, "This room is for my two daughters." It’s a place where I practice piano and sculpture at home, so it’s a bit messy.”

“No, this is already good,” he said politely.

Yana smiled and continued, "If you really plan to go fishing with Ivan tomorrow, you'd better go to bed early. It's a hard job that requires getting up early."

p>

"Don't worry, Aunt Yana, I will definitely get up on time." Wei Ran promised with a smile.

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter even if you can't get up." Yana and Wei Ran hugged each other gently, "Good night."

"Good night"

Watching Yana leave the room and helping to close the door, Wei Ran immediately focused on this room.

This house is almost as big as the living room downstairs. There is a clean piano placed against the wall on the left, and a furry piano is placed on the large painted rocker cover. The teddy bear, and on the bookshelf not far away, there are sheets of music scores and some music books.

On the opposite wall, there are buckets of sculpture clay sealed with plastic wrap, as well as some semi-finished sculptures, and the same bookshelf, except for various books related to sculpture. , and several sets of clean carving knives. Although he didn't know whether these carving knives were made by famous artists or professional brands, the Damascus pattern on them told him that these things were definitely not cheap.

Kneeling down with interest, Wei Ran looked at the completed or unfinished sculptures, and couldn't help but reveal a smile on his face.

Among these sculptures that have been basically completed, there are fishing boats fighting against the wind and waves, Ivan drinking, Yana wearing an apron, and a figure from behind who seems to be playing the piano.

As for the unfinished ones, the content is much richer. There are cats and dogs, some anime characters that Wei Ran knows or does not know, and even fictional creatures such as sea monsters. It seems that because they were not satisfied with the carving effect, they were kneaded into a ball of dry mud piled together randomly.

Without moving these things, Wei Ran walked to the bed and looked up at the photo frames hanging on the wall.

These photos completely record the growth process of the two girls from childhood to adulthood, and also completely record the process of Yana and Ivan growing from young to old.

"Where on earth have I seen this Olena and why can't I remember it?"

Wei Ran muttered to himself, turned off the light, walked to the window sill and pulled away. He closed the curtains and looked at the lake reflecting the starlight outside the window and fell into deep thought.

Although it was just a quick glance when getting off the boat, it can still be seen that this is notA small village that is considered large is definitely not considered wealthy. But to be very objective, the piano in this room and the engraving knives that looked like custom-made items seemed to be beyond the affordability of this small family and even this small village.

Of course, regardless of Ivan and Yana’s status and background, it is normal for them to be able to afford these things. But if that's the case, why are they willing to stay in such a small place

After a long time, Wei Ran, who had been thinking to no avail, finally decided not to think about it anymore, turned around and lay down on the bed and closed his eyes.

Going to bed so early was obviously not in line with young people's living habits, but considering that he would have to go fishing with Ivan tomorrow, he had no intention of staying up late.

After a night of silence, it was dark the next morning. Wei Ran was woken up by a knock on the door. He took out his cell phone and looked at the time. It was only less than five minutes after four o'clock.

"I'm already awake"

Wei Ran responded with a yawn, then stood up like a carp and got dressed as quickly as possible.

Without time to wash his face and brush his teeth, and even less time to have breakfast, Wei Ran, after getting a pair of suede leather gloves and a pair of water pants, left the house with two lunch boxes and an old-fashioned thermos handed over by Ivan. .

When they arrived at the pier, the two old men who had been carrying their lunch boxes had been waiting for a long time yesterday.

A group of four people boarded the fishing boat silently. After Old Ivan waited for the cable to be untied, he gave up the driving seat to Wei Ran and said, "Reverse the car and leave the dock. Remember not to turn on the lights."

p>

"I'll do it" Wei Ran asked in surprise. < /p>

Hearing this, Wei Ran rolled his eyes, fumbled to start the engine, and then followed Ivan’s instructions yesterday, maneuvering the twenty-meter-long fishing boat back slowly, on the side of the ship and the dock. With the grinding sound of the old tires hanging on the boat making people feel sour, the distance between the boat and the shore was gradually increased, and the boat's bow was carefully turned.

“Not bad”

Ivan fiddled with the navigation, then tapped the screen with his fingernail and said, “Drive in this direction, the speed can be a little faster. ."

"Can I turn on the light now?" Wei Ran turned around and asked.

"If there is a radar, why turn on the light?" Ivan reached out and tapped the radar screen again, "Stop talking nonsense and increase the speed first."

The co-author learned to sail a boat. Bai Weiran thought he had guessed the answer correctly and cautiously increased the accelerator.

Amidst the noisy noise of the engine, the speed of the ship increased little by little, but Ivan lit a cigarette and sat on the chair beside him, glancing at the sonar. On the display screen, from time to time you will shout something from the hand console, and from time to time it will remind Weiyan to turn, accelerate or decelerate.

Under Ivan’s command, Weiran’s operations became more and more proficient, and with thisThe patrol boat, which is not a big one, is not difficult to drive, so although he is still not able to use his hands like an arm, at least he will not be picked out by Ivan for any mistakes.

After leaving the dock for more than half an hour, following Ivan’s order, Wei Ran controlled the fishing boat to reduce its speed to the lowest level. At the same time, the two old men working on the stern deck were also under Ivan’s command. The net began to be cast.

With the harsh squeaking sound of the winch turning, the net cast out by the two old men was quickly pulled back. Just listening to the vague curses amidst the noise of the engine, I knew that the harvest of the two nets just now was probably not good.

"Ivan, why don't you use a trawl net?"

Wei Ran, who was in charge of sailing the ship, asked curiously. It stands to reason that with the power of this ship, it is possible to add a set of trawl nets. Trawl equipment is much more efficient than manual net throwing.

“Why don’t you ask us why we don’t drain this lake?”

Ivan looked at Weiran as if he were an idiot and explained, “Compared to How to catch the fish, and the more difficult thing is how to sell the fish, and most importantly, the law does not allow the use of trawling here. Okay, let's keep driving forward."

"I made things simple." Wei Ran grinned, and honestly followed the other party's instructions, steering the fishing boat and continuing to move forward in a stop-and-start manner.

After closing the net several times in a row, the two old guys who had been busy on the stern deck finally got something. At this time, the sky was already turning white, and some unknown birds fluttered their wings and landed on the fishing boat, eagerly waiting to grab some food from the fishing net that was about to come out of the water.

At this time, the big white cat that Wei Ran had not taken seriously played an unexpected role. Under Wei Ran's almost dull gaze, the big fat cat jumped up and down flexibly on the floating fishing boat. He bit a bird's neck in a few moments and flicked it from side to side, and then arrogantly threw the body into the boat. Lake.

The little guy’s careless operation immediately scared away the flock of birds that had just landed. In a short time, the two bulging fishing nets were also pulled to the stern deck by the winch.

In the splashing water, as the fishing net was opened, a large number of foot-long spring fish swarmed all over the deck. At the same time, Weiran also shut down the engine under Ivan's shout. And the big white cat had frightened away the water bird that had just landed, and threw the body of the second bird into the lake.

"Good luck today"

The old guy wearing a baseball cap shot at the waterfowl and said happily, "I caught so much in this net, I must have encountered a bigger one." "The fish are really good."

"You are really lucky. Hurry up and pack the fish. Victor, don't stand there stupidly. Come over quickly and help. Remember to pick out all the fish except the spring fish. "Come out."

While Ivan greeted Wei Ran, he had already started filling the basin with fish using a large plastic dustpan, and the bearded old man also moved boxes of crushed ice out of the cabin. dopeMixed in the big plastic basin.

Seeing this, Wei Ran quickly squatted down to help, and hurriedly followed the three old guys to sort out the catch.

However, what surprised him was that they got up so early in the morning and mobilized a large number of people to sail over, but the three old men were ready to stop after collecting the catches in these two large nets.

"Is it over?" Wei Ran, who smelled like fish, asked in surprise.

“Don’t be too greedy, the fish that cannot be sold will only be spoiled.”

Ivan hammered his back and stood up, “And we will catch another net and wait for us to clean it up.” By the time we get to the city, we will have to miss the restaurant shopping time. Well, let’s go sailing to Petrozavodsk.”

Hearing this, Wei Ran stopped. Curious, he took hold of the rudder again under Ivan's guidance.

After running on the lake in the morning glow for more than an hour, it was already past six in the morning when Wei Ran returned the rudder to Ivan and watched him dock.

As he helped the three old men move the pots of catch onto small carts and transport them to the pier, Ivan pointed to the insulated lunch box placed on the table on the bow deck, "The matter of selling fish is just that. No need for you, you can have something to eat and sleep before we come back."

"Can I go out later?" Wei Ran asked, "My things are still in the hotel. ”

“Come back soon, I’ll have some work for you later.”

After Ivan finished speaking, he and his two old guys pushed the carts. , carrying a lunch box and a thermos pot, and taking the big white cat with him, he walked into the fish market.

Watching the other party go away, Wei Ran immediately ran to the parking lot attached to the fish market, found his rented car and drove back to the hotel.

He took a hot bath comfortably and changed into relatively clean clothes. When he checked out of the room and the rented car, picked up his suitcase and rushed back to the dock, Ivan Already waiting for him on the deck.

As if he didn’t notice that Wei Ran had just changed his clothes, Ivan pointed to the plastic bucket at his feet and said, “I bought paint and brushes, and remember to repaint the deck at noon. Paint it again and remove the rust first. It is best to complete these actions before two o'clock in the afternoon." After finishing speaking, Ivan was already walking along the gangplank before Wei Ran could agree or refuse. Walking onto the pier, he said without looking back, "Of course, if you don't want to do this job, you can also go to the market to sell fish."

He looked down at the clothes he had just changed. , Wei Ran shook his head helplessly, threw the suitcase into the cabin and put it away. Then he took out the apron, gloves, hat and mask from the plastic bucket and put them on. He took an iron brush and meticulously started the rust removal work before painting.
