War Photographer's Notebook

Chapter 472 Ivan's Two Advice

The warm sunshine in the afternoon, the humid air blowing from the forest on the shore, the blue lake water outside the deck, and of course, the big white cat waiting to eat fish at the feet.

In this rare leisure, Wei Ran swung his fishing rod again and again. Although the two fish he caught rarely went into the stomach of the cat, he didn't come for the fish, so it was considered I never get tired of it.

Just when he took the third fish off the hook, Ivan, who seemed to have been sleeping just now, asked without opening his eyes, "How's your life these two days?"

Wei Ran paused, took the fish off and threw it to the big white cat with a normal expression, then threw the hook into the lake again, and then lay down on the rocking chair again and replied truthfully, "It's not bad, although it's very plain. , but very fulfilling and a great place for a vacation.”

"Compared to Darya?" Ivan opened his eyes and asked, lighting a cigarette.

"It's hell there." Wei Ran shook his head, "In comparison, this place is like heaven."

"Yeah, it's like heaven here."

Ivan babbled something, stood up with the fishing rod in his hand, and continued to ask while pulling back the line to finish the rod, "Victor, if you could only choose one of two, would you choose Daria or the other?" Would you choose this place?"

"You can only choose one of the two?" Wei Ran turned his head and asked.

Ivan threw the hook out again, looked at the calm lake with old eyes and replied, "Yes, I can only choose one of the two."

After a moment of silence, Wei Ran replied with a smile, "Maybe I will go back to Kazan."

"Why?" Ivan finally turned his face away while asking.

"If I were your age, maybe I would come here to live."

Wei Ran pointed to the direction when he came, "The environment here is very good. Although there are not many people in the village, and the living conditions are not as convenient as those in the city, everyone seems to have a good relationship and the pace of life is slow. It is a very leisurely and suitable place. A place to retire."

Speaking of this, Wei Ran's tone became more and more affirmative, "But I'm not that old yet."

"Interesting young man." Ivan sat on the recliner again, abruptly changed the subject and said, "Tomorrow is Friday."

"So?" Wei Ran looked at the other party in confusion.

"My two daughters have no classes on Friday, so they will take the train from Petersburg back to Petrozavodsk every Thursday night. On Friday, that is, tomorrow, at seven o'clock in the morning, they will take the train to Petrozavodsk. The train will arrive."

Speaking of which, Ivan looked at Wei Ran seriously, and said seriously, "Victor, before they come back, I will give you two pieces of advice."

"What advice?" Wei Ran also became nervous after hearing this.

"The first piece of advice, keep your mind on your head, don't think about my two daughters, even exchanging contact information is not allowed. The second piece of advice, keep your mouth shut, don't reveal your background, don't let the two of them Hear what you shouldn't hear, let alone show off your grades or strengths, you'd better pretend to be a pompous and rude fool."

Wei Ran was about to open his mouth to say something, but Ivan looked at the calm lake again, "There is no need to make any promises, I just inform you, as long as you fail to do any of them, I will put you in the oil tank." The barrel was anchored and sank alive into the deepest bed of Lake Onega."

"Thank you for your advice." Wei Ran shook his head with a wry smile, "Then what name should I appear in?"

Ivan said irresponsibly, "That's something you should worry about. That lunatic Daria must have taught you how to lie."

After pondering for a moment, Wei Ran put away his fishing rod, "My family has a travel agency, and I plan to cooperate with you to bring tourists here to experience the life of fishermen?"

"Yes, Yana and I will cooperate with you." Before Ivan finished speaking, he had already thrown the fishing rod to Wei Ran, stood up and walked to the cabin, "Okay, it's time for us to go back."

"A father's love is like a mountain, either sinking into a lake or drowning alive, there is nothing wrong with it."

"What are you mumbling about?" Ivan shouted dissatisfied, "Hurry up and sail back!"

"Coming! Immediately!" Wei Ran hurriedly responded, put away the fishing rod indiscriminately, and ran into the cabin in a panic.

Not long after, with the roar of the engine, the dilapidated fishing boat slowly headed towards the direction it came from.

Once again, he landed on the pier without any risk, and Wei Ran found an excuse to return to his own room, and once again focused his energy on the graduation thesis that was about to be completed.

Another night passed quietly, and in the blink of an eye, at [-]:[-] am the next day, Ivan knocked on Wei Ran's door on time.

Wei Ran, who got up and got dressed 10 minutes ago, responded in a daze on purpose, and after waiting for two to three minutes, he yawned and opened the door.

Still with one person, one insulated lunch box and an old-fashioned insulated pot, Wei Ran followed Ivan and boarded the fishing boat silently. Without being greeted by the other party, he took the initiative to start the engine, left the pier backwards, slowly turned the direction and drove to the The direction of Ivan's finger.

I don't know if it's the reason for his two precious daughters to come back, but luck is not bad this day, the two old guys on the poop deck just cast their nets for the first time and they reaped a harvest.

And Ivan also took this opportunity to arrange Wei Ran to the stern of the boat to help cast the net.

Wei Ran is really not afraid of this job, although the net he throws out is not as round as the two old fellows beside him, it is still the same anyway, but as the fishing net is thrown out again and again, it is retracted again and again. He was also inevitably covered in water and an unpleasant fishy smell.

Until this time, Ivan was satisfied and called him back to the cockpit to take charge of driving to the city, while he and his two old buddies were talking and laughing at the stern of the boat sorting the catch.

Wei Ran, who was holding the steering wheel, didn't know what the other party's plan was. That narrow-minded old man did it on purpose, trying his best to make Wei Ran messy before his two precious daughters boarded the boat.

He even had no doubts that if he clarified the other party's small thoughts, Ivan would definitely push himself into a large plastic basin full of capuchin fish as a reward for a correct answer.

With the fishy smell all over his body, he drove the boat to Petrozavodsk, and Ivan took over the job of driving the boat again, obviously not wanting to make any mistakes on the day his daughter came back.

"Today you go to sell fish"

After the boat stopped, Ivan ruthlessly left the job of selling fish to Wei Ran, and he himself ran back to the cabin and changed into a suit of decent clothes, even the rain boots on his feet turned into a pair of The shiny leather shoes, even Wei Ran can still smell a cologne.

Although Wei Ran felt that Ivan's actions were a bit exaggerated, but looking at the expressions of the other two old men, he knew that this might not be the first time.

Watching Ivan, who was dressed like a dog, leave the pier, Wei Ran also pulled the cart without any psychological barriers, took the price tag that Ivan had written in advance, and followed the other two "old" colleagues. Aquatic market not far away.

　Pay off the debt, add more for Pula Xiaobu, there is only so much today.
