War Photographer's Notebook

Chapter 378
Watching Monica take the expensive computer and drive the car away from Gubijing Pasta Restaurant alone, until the other car was completely blocked by the building on the street corner, Katenka turned back to the bar, picked up Mo Nika baked the pizza by herself, hung a closed sign on the door, and wandered back to another house not far away.

When she closed the door of the house, a girl with a mask on her face had already come down from the second floor in Katenka's pajamas.

"Did she accept it?" the girl with the face mask asked in English while sitting cross-legged on the messy sofa, patting her cheek.

"Of course I took it"

While Katenka responded to the other party in Italian, he had already placed the pizza box in his hand on the table between the two of them and opened it, "Try it, Monica's cooking skills are unexpectedly good, at least better than what we often eat. The pizza at the restaurant in the past is much better."

Hearing this, the girl with the mask on her face gently lifted the lower corner of the mask, took the paper towel handed by Katenka and wiped her mouth, then took a bite of a corner of the pizza, and continued in English in surprise, "Well, it is indeed much better than the one we often eat! This is a windfall."

"You don't just want to eat the pizza she made, do you?" Katenka also picked up a corner and took a bite, and asked straightforwardly the doubts in his heart.

"of course not"

The girl sitting opposite finished a corner of the pizza in two or three bites, picked up a T-shirt from the sofa and wiped her hands and mouth, then covered her face with the half-opened mask again, and then said slowly, " Although in the real world she is a social terror who dare not even go to the supermarket, she is not a social terror on the Internet. To be more precise, Monica in the online world is simply a vicious woman with explosive fighting power."

"What's the value of just daring to scold others on the Internet?" Katenka asked puzzled.

"Don't underestimate her, Monica is more powerful than the poison you made"

The girl with the mask on her face didn't explain in detail, but said in a different direction, "In short, we will continue to build a good relationship with Monica, and if we have a chance in the future, we can try to become friends with that bastard clean freak named Tasi .”

"Do you think we can become friends with Tassi just because of the two of us?" Katenka asked, pointing to the garbage on the table and the dirty clothes everywhere.

"Forget it, just pretend I didn't mention that proposal just now." The girl with the mask on resolutely chose to give up.

"If I remember correctly, the boss didn't seem to ask us to do these things." Katenka reminded while picking up the second pizza.

"If I remember correctly, before he became our boss, we got another job with those outdated antiques." The girl with the mask stretched, "If you haven't forgotten, then you Are you ready to ignore that job?"

Hearing this, Katenka shivered subconsciously, "I haven't forgotten, of course I won't forget, and I don't plan to ignore that job."

"It's better not to be negative about any job"

The girl with the mask on sighed, and said in a small voice that was almost desperate, with a little trembling, "None of us know if someone is monitoring our work attitude, let alone know the consequences of being passive and slowing down the work." .For now, at least the new boss seems to be doing well, and life here is much more free than in Vienna, and I don’t want to go back to the old days.”

"Mother is dead," Katenka reminded in a low voice.

"The Soviet Union has passed away too." The girl wearing the mask said in a lower voice, "But I don't want to die, and as I said just now, life is very good now, isn't it?"

"That's true"

Katenka took off the wig on his head and threw it away. While scratching his hair, he walked towards the bathroom and said happily, "In this case, I will take Matthew to the playground tomorrow."

"You want to go to the playground?"

"You don't want to go?"

Kajian asked without looking back, "Especially the big pendulum, it's really exciting! I want to ask the boss to apply for some funds, so I can build a big pendulum and put it in front of the restaurant."

"Of course I would! But I prefer roller coasters and jumping machines, but it's okay to build it yourself. Our boss is not a fool, and he doesn't look like a rich man. Maybe he has as little freedom as us."

"I'm just talking casually." Before Katenka finished speaking, he was already humming an unknown tune, and walked into the bathroom contentedly.

"I'll just talk about it too." The girl with the mask on couldn't help showing a slight smile after she finished speaking, and subconsciously clenched a string of animal tooth necklaces hanging around her neck.

"Shall we clean the room tomorrow?" Katenkara, who had already got into the bathroom and started to take a shower, opened the glass door and asked with his head full of foam.

"Why?" The girl in the living room subconsciously let go of the necklace in her hand and asked.

"Tomorrow is my mother's birthday," Katenka said while rubbing her hair.

"Then let's clean it up." The girl with the mask on thought for a while, "We still need a big cake."

"Tomorrow I will clean the room, you can go buy cakes." While Katenka was speaking, he had already closed the glass door of the bathroom again.

"Or how about asking Monica to help make one?"

The girl with the facial mask walked to the door of the bathroom, opened the door and asked Katenka inside, "I see that she has saved a lot of recipes in her computer, maybe the cakes she made are delicious too."

"Then let her help you make one." Katenka said nonchalantly, "I like chocolate."

"Then it's settled." Before the girl with the facial mask finished speaking, she helped Katenka close the glass door of the bathroom again.

While they were preparing for the birthday party without the main character, Wei Ran and Sui Sui, Professor Alexei and Jima had already set off fireworks in the large courtyard where the two families merged into one.

Amidst the sound of banging firecrackers, fleeting bouquets bloomed in the noisy night sky, and by the way, several days in advance, the atmosphere of the new year was seduced into this large courtyard that was a little deserted in the past.

Early the next morning, Ji Ma, who woke up from a hangover, fixed an action camera with a new memory card on his shoulder just like yesterday, and replaced it with a rural limited set that Wei Ran and Sui Sui bought for him in advance. A patterned cotton-padded jacket, black cotton shoes and a dog-skin hat, and a large brush to help paste the Spring Festival couplets.

"Victor, I don't understand."

Ji Ma randomly brushed the toon tree in the yard with a brush dipped in paste, and after Sui Sui pasted a Spring Festival couplet with "Deep Roots and Lush Leaves" on it, he expressed his doubts in his heart, "These What's the meaning of the red paper? Why do some have three and some have one?"

"Pray for good luck"

Wei Ran explained indiscriminately, and stretched out his hand to pick up a Spring Festival couplet written by Sui Sui's grandfather from the round table in the middle of the yard, pointing to the well next to the greenhouse, "This piece of clear water is often pasted on the well. along."

"Everything must be posted? And it will bring good luck?" Jima asked, looking at Nuoda's courtyard.

"Of course, our Huaxia has been posting for thousands of years." Wei Ran replied as a matter of course.

"Then give me one too!"

As Jima said, he stretched out his finger and dipped it in the small enamel basin filled with the paste and smeared it on his forehead, then picked up a Spring Festival couplet that didn't look like it would block his face from the round table and patted it on his forehead , asked proudly, "How is it? Even if you have pasted it for thousands of years, you must have never thought that you can still stick it on your face!"

Wei Ran and Sui Sui glanced dully at the "chicken fat and eggs" that should have been pasted on the chicken coop on Ji Ma's face, and after they reacted, they immediately shouted into the room at the top of their voices, "Mom and Dad! Grandpa and Grandpa! Come on! Come out and have a look!"

"What's the matter?"

Wei Ran's grandma ran out first with a dumpling wrapper in one hand and a pair of chopsticks in the other, followed by other elders who were making dumplings and Mr. Zhou with a brush in his hand. At this time, Ji Ma He even smugly took a selfie for himself, and without even thinking about it, he posted it on a certain social platform that he registered with Sui Sui's help yesterday.
