War Photographer's Notebook

Chapter 751 Expansion of the Habitat Program

By the Kaban Lake in Kazan, Wei Ran watched Jima and Maya drive away, then pressed the remote control to close the courtyard door, turned and walked into the warm room.

After such a short time, Sui Sui, who was still cleaning gemstones in the bathroom just now, sat cross-legged on the sofa, flipping through the various documents that Ji Ma insisted on leaving just now.

"Are you willing to come out?" Wei Ran sat down next to Sui Sui and joked with a smile.

"I just came out inappropriate"

Sui Sui rolled her eyes, shook the document in her hand and said, "He entrusted you to keep it. I didn't expect Ji Ma to be so smart."

"How do you say that?" Wei Ran asked, grabbing the other party's neck.

"He was worried that we would focus on the town of Tula in Tunguska in the future, so he sent these things."

Sui Sui shook the document in his hand and said with almost certainty, "And I guess, the surprise that Dalia gave him was definitely not these things."

"I don't understand." Wei Ran simply shook his head.

"You really don't have the talent to do business"

Sui Sui put it another way, "This is a certificate of nomination. Without our operation, whether it is the hot spring camp in Inta or the abandoned military base, it will not generate any profit at all. He sent these things here. It is clear that it is intended to hold us accountable to Inta."

"So Ji Ma is playing tricks?" Wei Ran asked with great interest.

"I can't say I'm playing tricks"

Sui Sui pointed to Beria who was lying on the floor with his legs upside down and wagging his tail, "It's just showing us the belly. In fact, these things are useless even if we have them in our hands. Even if we get the two camps to ourselves Under the name, without the help and support of the Inta people, we would not be able to play on our own."

Before Wei Ran could speak, Sui Sui had already repacked the documents in his hand into the file bag and stuffed them into Wei Ran's arms, "But he was able to send these things over for you to keep, which already shows that he is ready to be tied to us completely. The determination on a rope. Although the scumbag Ji seems unreliable, and this matter is a bit rough, he is definitely a trustworthy and smart enough friend."

"What did you say?"

Wei Ran indifferently put the file bag aside, it stands to reason that he and Ji Ma's life-long friendship would not be enough to deal with this.But after all, there are too many people involved in Inta's industry, so it is reasonable for him to do so.

"And the last flight to Moscow today left half an hour ago."

Anfisa came out of the bathroom with the washed gemstones in the washbasin, and while pouring those small stones on the towel that Lola had laid on the table in advance, he joked meaningfully, "Two hours later , there is a flight to Sochi."

"The child is old enough to have his own secrets."

Wei Ran sighed pretentiously, and then everyone laughed together.As for what reward Jima really got from Teacher Dalia, since the other party didn't intend to tell, he naturally didn't intend to ask. Although we are very good friends, there is really no need to pry into all the other's secrets.

Having made enough jokes about Jima, Lola, who took the initiative to return to her post as a cook, took out a small notebook and asked, "What shall we have for dinner?"

"Spicy rabbit head!" sisters Katenka said in unison.

"I really want to eat some Chinese food." Sui Sui stretched her waist and replied, "I have been eating beef stew for several days, and I really can't bear it."

"Go to the construction site next door and ask, and see what they are planning to eat this afternoon."

Wei Ran said to Sister Katenka, who was wiping the gems with a towel, "Get a few rabbits and send them over, let their masters help them process them, and send them some vegetables and wine by the way."

Hearing this, the Katenka sisters immediately dropped those crystal clear gemstones with the fragrance of shower gel, and ran out with Lola.

"When are we going back to Volgograd?" Sui Sui got up and went to the table, holding a glass lunch box, and asked while picking out the stones he liked.

"In a few days." Wei Ran thought for a while and said, "I have to go to Chita in a few days."

"To Chita?" Sui Sui turned his gaze to Wei Ran again, "What are you going to Chita for?"

"In the past few days, I have also found some insiders who may be related to Mine No. 52, so I plan to go and have a look." Wei Ran also came over and helped wipe the gemstones while saying, "I always feel that what happened there is not like that. It's as simple as it says in Vajim's confession."

"I'll go with you?" Sui Sui asked enthusiastically.

"Then let's go together." Wei Ran agreed nonchalantly, "We can fly directly to Volgograd from there."

"When are you leaving?" Sui Sui immediately became interested.

"You decide." Wei Ran handed over the decision to the other party, anyway, this time he went to satisfy his curiosity, and there was no rush at all.

"Bringing Kamei and Lola with them?" Sui Sui continued to ask, "In this way we can fly back to Volgograd together, we can't leave them to spend Christmas here by themselves."

"Then take it with you"

Wei Ran nodded dumbfoundingly, this crazy girl probably planned to bring Katenka sisters home to show off.On the contrary, he also wanted to take Lola with him, after all, this matter had something to do with her, and as Sui Sui said, it was almost Christmas, and they couldn't really leave them alone for the holiday.

It's a pity that this habitat is my own. Wei Ran sighed secretly, and had completely given up struggling.

Taking advantage of the time before dinner, Wei Ran randomly picked out the remaining gems and packed them in a canned bottle, and drove them to the office of the cheap mentor Kajik.These are all going to be sold directly for the purpose of collecting funds, so this cycle will naturally not be too long. According to Kajik, wait for news at any time, and you can come to withdraw cash within a week at most.

The time was agreed, and when Wei Ran drove back to his home, the dining table was already filled with several Chinese dishes, including braised rabbit meat and spicy rabbit head. Red copper hot pot with spicy aroma.

After such a long period of "teaching" by Sui Sui, sisters Katenka, who were raised by KGB, have completely fallen into Chinese food and are unwilling to extricate themselves. Even Lola has learned to use chopsticks to hold After the sliced ​​beef and mutton were overwhelmed in the hot pot, they were skillfully dipped in sesame sauce and stuffed into her sister Kelawa's mouth.

"Just now, Anfisa said that the decoration next door is about to be completed, and those custom-made furniture will also be placed in these few days."

Sui Sui picked up a large glass of cold beer and clinked with everyone, drank half of the glass in one gulp, took a drink and continued to ask, "What are you going to do with it when the decoration is finished?"

"Put all the books sent by Mr. Nicholas and the old books we found in Mine No. 52 first."

Wei Ran put down his cup and thought for a while, then turned to look at Lola who was sitting between the Katenka sisters, "Lola, do you want to be the boss?"

"What did you say?" Lola, with a big piece of hot mutton roll stuffed in her mouth, raised her head blankly and looked at Wei Ran.

"I said, do you want to be your own boss?" Wei Ran asked with a smile.

"Me? Be the boss?" Lola swallowed the meat in her mouth in two or three gulps, and looked at Wei Ran more and more blankly, "What kind of boss?"

"Cafe?" Wei Ran said his plan with a smile, "I plan to open a library, of course, it can be called a coffee shop, people will often go there in the future, they must have something to drink. "

"When did you come up with this idea?" Sui Sui asked in surprise, she never thought of asking such a thing, and Wei Ran never mentioned it.

"Just before going to Mine 52"

Wei Ran picked up a piece of meat with chopsticks and stuffed it into his mouth, "When I went to Yudino to find clues, a library was rebuilt there. It was the library that Lola's grandfather was in charge of. I think a library pretty good."

"Can you make money?" Sui Sui asked suspiciously.

"Probably not." Wei Ran picked up his cup and took a sip, "But at least you won't lose money."

"My fault." Sui Sui picked up the cup and teased, "I expected someone who studies history to be able to do business and make money. This is my fault."

"Will anyone still go to the library now?" Anfisa asked her own question. In the past ten years, the two sisters have been living and working in the bookstore, and they are the most experienced in this kind of thing. of.

"There will always be people going," Wei Ran said with a smile, "You can't expect people who go to the library to read books, right?"

"That's right, let's do it according to your ideas!" Sui Sui changed into Chinese at this point, "Are you planning to compensate Lola?"

"After all, those stones have something to do with her, don't they?"

Wei Ran also responded jokingly in Chinese, "We have gained such a great benefit, and if we don't sprinkle some water out, we will easily suffer retribution. And you can't let this little girl who is not yet an adult make tea for us for the rest of her life." Pouring work, right?
In this case, why not find something for her to do, anyway, her grandfather managed the library, so she must have inherited some talent, right? "

"Lola, do you want to be the boss?" Sui Sui switched back to Russian, which can be regarded as an indirect expression of her attitude, "It will be convenient for you to take care of your sister. When she recovers in the future, you can run the cafe together .Of course! You don't have to worry, we won't charge you rent, and we don't need you to put anything into it."

When it comes to painting big cakes, Sui Sui is undoubtedly the most professional among these people present.So as soon as she finished speaking, Lola was obviously moved after a brief panic, but then she looked at Sister Katenka rather at a loss.

"Don't look at us," sisters Katenka said in unison, "we are not interested in continuing to deal with books."

"I" Lola gritted her teeth, "I want to try!"

"Then try it"

Wei Ran picked up the cup and joked, "Maybe it will open after Christmas. If we go to drink at that time, remember to give us a discount."

As soon as the joke was uttered, Lola also relaxed a lot, picked up the juice in front of her and touched Wei Ran's cup together.

Of course, the girls present didn't know that Wei Ran was also relieved when she agreed. After all, with one girl missing, his habitat would be a bit more spacious. When the time comes, Sui Sui will also take sister Katenka to the workshop Office, won’t the previously lost habitats come back?
