War Photographer's Notebook

Chapter 485 Dahlia's sincerity and the last lesson

In the armored pickup that was still driving on the road, Wei Ran looked at Professor Alexei who was in charge of driving through the rearview mirror and asked, "So you went to Finland this time to investigate the origin of those two hats?"

"of course not"

Professor Alexei smiled, "As I said just now, Akim was very jealous that I had the opportunity to participate in filming, so he insisted that the story in the underground shelter is also worthy of being put on the screen, and my The boss, Alexander, is also very interested in this matter.

So he gave me a week off to check it out, and whether or not the story in that sanctuary turned out to be what Akeem expected, he'd already paid for that story and everything that was found in the sanctuary Bought it, including the three corpses.Of course, I can also get a pretty good share. "

"I remember that Alexander has already invested in Time Film Studio?"

Wei Ran asked puzzledly, he didn't participate in Alexander's investment in the studio, but Jima pulled the red line when he was filming in Finland.

"He did invest in the studio, but obviously he wants to earn more money, and I also want to earn a little extra investigation fees." Professor Alexey also glanced at Wei Ran through the rearview mirror, "So this If you have time, you must help me."

Hearing this, Wei Ran nodded happily, "I will go to Egypt with Jima and the others before the end of the month, and I have time before then."

"The story about your desert well?" Zhou Shujin asked with great interest.

"Yes, that's the story." Wei Ran gave an affirmative answer.

"Why are there no female characters in these two movies?" Zhou Shujin shook her head helplessly, "I'm planning to play a guest role in one."

"War keeps women away"

Wei Ran and Professor Alexey uttered the same famous quote in unison, and then added another sentence, "Although this sentence is basically nonsense, as far as I know, one has already been scheduled for filming in the studio. In the planned story about the White Russian partisans, there are quite a few female characters."

"But there are no Chinese women, right?" Zhou Shujin asked anticipatingly.

Wei Ran spread his hands, "This is Russia after all."

"It's a pity that the girl Suisui looks too much like me." Zhou Shujin became more and more disappointed, "Otherwise, maybe she can play a role."

"I guess she's not interested in making movies." Wei Ran said with a smile, "She's about to lose money."

"It's up to me," Zhou Shujin said with pride, "By the way, when will she come?"

"She said she would come over after attending the graduation ceremony in a few days, and then go to grandma's house to see."

Wei Ran continued, dumbfounded, "By the way, I brought a group of classmates over to play. In her words, it's a pity not to let her kill you before graduation."

"Have you already gone to Egypt by then?" Professor Alexis asked without looking back.

"No accident, I should have come back." Wei Ran pointed to the fork road on the left, "Just drive in from here, and the yard on the right is mine."

"So big?" Zhou Shujin asked in surprise, "Is this really Dalia's renting you for free?"

"It's not free either." Wei Ran explained with a smile, "At the beginning, this place was in ruins, so I spent a lot of money to renovate the yard."

Zhou Shujin praised, "She is so generous. If it weren't for your relationship with Sui Sui, I would have thought Dalia had a daughter who was going to marry you. But it's a pity not to grow a la carte in such a big yard. "

"She doesn't have any girls"

Wei Ran was stunned in the middle of his words, he finally remembered where the inexplicable sense of familiarity came from when he saw Olena's photo!

"What's the matter?" Zhou Shujin asked at the same time that Professor Alexey had already stepped on the brakes at the end of the road.

"It's all right"

Wei Ran quickly responded, "You don't need to get down, I'll open the door and just drive the car in."

Before he finished speaking, he couldn't wait to push open the car door, jumped out of the car and trotted to open the courtyard door.

"No, probably not."

Wei Ran muttered to himself while Professor Alexei drove the car into the yard, and for a while still couldn't believe the guess that Olena might be Daria's daughter.

After locking the courtyard door indiscriminately, Wei Ran suppressed his thoughts, trotted to the door, and helped the professor and auntie move all three huge suitcases in.

“This house is really big”

Professor Alexei admired, and then said, "Don't worry about me, I'll take a look around by myself."

“Really not small”

Zhou Shujin called Wei Ran to help open the heaviest suitcase, and kept asking, "Where is the kitchen? Before I came, I made the braised pork ribs and brought them along with a few of your favorite dishes." , and steamed a large pot of steamed buns, as long as they are warmed up, they can be eaten."

"It's on the second floor, I'll take you there."

Wei Ran quickly helped pick up a few lunch boxes in the suitcase, and led Zhou Shujin upstairs. After such a short time, Professor Alexei had already found the storage room on the first floor, and copied it bluntly. He unscrewed a bottle of gin and took a swig.

After sending my aunt to the kitchen, Wei Ran found an excuse and trotted to the room at the end of the third floor. After opening the door and lighting, he reached out and took a photo frame from the metal bookshelf.

This photo frame is a photo of Teacher Dahlia when she was young. Under the warm light, Mrs. Dahlia in the photo has short hair and is sitting under a leafy oak tree with a bright smile on her face. , gently stroking her slightly swollen belly with her hand.

Although the figure of teacher Daria is completely out of shape today, it can still be seen that she is the same person as Daria in the photo.But what looks more like this photo is Ivan's precious daughter Olena!
"Ugh"

Wei Ran sighed secretly. When the mother and daughter took a group photo, Olena was not yet born. Now Olena has grown up to Dahlia's appearance when she was young, but the mother and daughter are very likely to resemble Ge Erman and his wife and son are as far apart as each other. One doesn't know the existence of the other, and the other suppresses his longing and refuses to meet, let alone let the other know his existence.

On the other hand, Wei Ran finally realized belatedly why Daria asked him to go to Lake Onega to meet Ivan. The reason why my daughter goes to school.

For Teacher Dalia, the itinerary for those few days was almost what she could give Wei Ran the highest trust.

You see, that's my daughter, and she lives there. Although she doesn't know of my existence, she is my biggest secret and weakness.

At the same time, it was also the last lesson Dahlia taught him before he was fired, letting him understand the price of different choices.

You see, that is my daughter, she lives there, but because of my choice, she will probably never know my existence, and I will probably never have the chance to recognize her.

"Ugh"

Wei Ran sighed again, turned and left and locked the door, leaving only the warm lamp, which continued to provide unnecessary light to this empty room.

Returning to the living room on the second floor with a lot of thoughts, Professor Alexey was already lying on the sofa with a half-drunk bottle of gin, manipulating the remote control to search for the TV programs he was interested in, and he was not far away. The aunt who is busy in the kitchen is also nagging about all kinds of trivial things.

"Victor, remember to save a room for me and your aunt."

Seeing Wei Ran come down, Professor Alexey immediately called Wei Ran to sit beside him, and asked in a low voice, "Did you guess that I would come over as a guest? My God! Why do you store so much wine?"

"I saved it for God," Wei Ran replied jokingly.

"God will definitely regard you as the most devout believer." Professor Alexey took a sip of wine, and then asked with a belch, "Is there any pickles? The crisp ones imported from China are the best. .”

"I'll go find it for you"

Wei Ran, who had just sat down, stood up again and walked to the kitchen. When the house was renovated, Ji Ma's younger brothers bought a lot of easy-to-preserve food and drink to fill the refrigerator.

But he is usually on a business trip or at Hongqi Forest Farm. Even though he was busy with his papers before, he spent most of his time satisfying his hunger in the Georgian restaurant of that cheap wife, so it was his first time to come in this kitchen.

"I see that you usually don't fire"

The aunt who was busy in the kitchen pointed to the set of tableware and kitchen utensils and said, "What are you? There are a lot of bad stationery? There are quite a lot of pots and pans, and few unpack them. Wei Ran, you can't do this. I was too lazy in Volgograd."

"I usually solve it downstairs"

Wei Ran rummaged through the refrigerator and replied, "There is a small kitchen on the first floor, where I usually make soy milk and so on."

"Can soy milk be eaten as a meal?"

Zhou Shujin couldn't laugh or cry and said, "Also, take a look at what's in your refrigerator. It's either beverages or canned food. Is that crap for people to eat?"

"I live alone, why don't you move here too?"

Wei Ran dug out a bottle of locally-produced pickles and asked, he didn't know if it was for human consumption, but the professor in the living room would definitely not refuse.

"We won't come." Zhou Shujin rolled her eyes, "I'm not going to be a babysitter for you two little bastards."

How can this be answered?All Wei Ran could do was giggle.But Zhou Shujin used this topic to suggest again, "But it's a pity that you don't grow a la carte in this big yard. When we come back from Finland, I'll see if I can grow something for you."

"Grow some potatoes!"

Wei Ran said abruptly, "Plant some devil ginger again, and when it's harvested, ask my grandma to give instructions on the phone, and I'll also pickle some pickles to eat."

"Devil ginger is okay, it looks pretty when it blooms, but let's forget about potatoes, why haven't you eaten enough potatoes here?" Zhou Shujin asked back, dumbfounded.

“It's interesting to hear when the potatoes are harvested”

Wei Ran vaguely answered his aunt's question, but at the same time, he couldn't help thinking of those friends who were waiting to harvest potatoes in the forest.

　For the Atlantic Sharks temporarily add a piece of chat to express my heart, that, the rest will be returned slowly.
