121 A large basin of cold water
Yelena didn't plan to stay long, so she didn't go back to her house to live, alarming a large number of people, and Volkov was different from her, his residence in Moscow was given to his ex-wife, and it was easy to get another house, but he was always out and wouldn't go back at all, disgusted with trouble, so the house was vacant, and only one person was responsible for cleaning, but the war broke out, and his mother and sister and three nieces were in the countryside not far from Moscow, and he was worried that the Germans would know about it, and his family would be in danger, so he came back this time, let his mother and sisterThe nieces moved in, and soon, they were taken over, because Volkov rarely returned, and the villa remained vacant until the family was coming, and the personnel were full. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ infoAlthough Yelena and he both lived in the hotel, they didn't have much time to meet, and they were very busy, so they didn't talk to Yelena about it. Yelena also told Volkov that he was going back to Leningrad, and Volkov could only tell the truth and asked her to quickly pick up her mother and live in her own house, because he also had to go back to live, and Volkov also told her that she had a big surprise waiting for her, however, there was still something to be done, and Yelena had to leave for a while, so she could only be sent to his house in Moscow by Volkov's adjutant first.
This is a villa, some distance from the city, far from the Kremlin, get out of the car, Yelena's luggage is carried by the adjutant, the two of them arrived at the door of the villa together, the car is open after the iron door, all the way to the door of the residence, Yelena is in charge of the big scene, but at this time got out of the car, thought of seeing her mother-in-law's family, it is still very awkward, let Yelena come over is also to see the meaning of the person, the next time Yelena comes back, at that time Volkov may not be at home, so tonight, Volkov said that he will come back, let Yelena prepare dinnerγ Yelena still had some scruples at that time, so she asked Volkov,
"What am I going to your house, mistress, girlfriend, or friend's daughter?"
Volkov laughed, hugged her and kissed her, and said, "You are the mistress, Yelena, when you come back, I will invite relatives and friends to announce our marriage, Yelena, will you marry me, huh?"
Yelena's mood at this time was different from the past, and she had never been patient and tolerant of this man, so she smiled and nodded. So in front of this house, Yelena knew that this was her future home, so before coming, Yelena first went back to her house and took all the things stored in the warehouse, in fact, it was just some wine and some clothes, but in fact, while she was cleaning up, Yelena also put a lot of things in her space, such as silk curtains, porcelain, bedding, screens and shelves embroidered by herself, as well as clothes, jewelry and cosmetics that she would use. Of course, the gifts for the mother-in-law's family were also prepared, the mother-in-law gave a large cashmere scarf, plus a piece of fine tweed, dark green, which was very suitable for her to wear, and a piece of cloth for the eldest sister. None of the three nieces had ever seen them, and they didn't know how big they were, so they gave them chocolates and checks. Other things, but not easy to send, send more and send less, it's all a thing.
When Yelena appeared in the hall, she was full of momentum and immediately calmed everyone down. A woman in military uniform stood up, behind her was an ordinary old peasant lady, although her clothes were still good, another blonde thin woman, very tall, and Volkov's brown eyes looked a little sharp at this time, three girls, the eldest was estimated to be twelve or thirteen years old, and then a black-haired girl about ten years old, and the other was very similar to her mother, but her hair was a little thin, which reminded Yelena of Volkov's hair, there was a problem of receding hairline before, although it did not move back now, but there was not much hair, and with the excessive use of the brain, the hair loss was very seriousγ
Yelena took off her scarf and said to the people in the room with a smile, "Hello, I'm Yelena. β
Volkov's mother, Maria, is a very ordinary rural woman, she received a call from her son today, saying that his wife has come back and asked them to get along well, he naturally knows that his son and Lyudmila are divorced, but what is the matter with Natalia in front of her? Her words have always revealed that her relationship with her son is not ordinary, and she often comes to see them, and she does not see the guards stopping her, this is ......
Volkov's sister Agata Voynova is a strong one, seeing that the woman in front of her is so beautiful, it is no wonder that her younger brother was blinded and abandoned Natalia, she looked at Yelena coldly and did not answer, and the three little girls were a little timid, and they did not dare to speak.
Yelena immediately saw that something was wrong, and said to the woman in military uniform in front of her, "Who are you, why are you here?"
Natalia Zolchenko was a little nervous, although she knew that the general had a new love, but she didn't expect that it was such a beautiful and young beauty, the tension in her heart was suppressed, and she said with a smile, "I am a military doctor, and I used to work as a doctor in the hospital directly under the Kyiv Special Military District." β
"Doctor, Kyiv, are you young, a student of Pavlov Medical College?" Yelena smiled, but her eyes were very cold,
"Oh no, I didn't graduate from Paplov Medical College, it's the best medical school in the country, it's not for anyone to go to, and there's no special call, even if it's impossible to say clearly. β
"It's a pity, but think about it, if you graduated there, you wouldn't know me. But what I have to ask is, why are you here, did General Volkov arrange for you to take care of his mother and sister's family?"
"Oh, that's right, when they arrived, I helped a few little girls to do a check-up, Aunt Mary is not in good health, and my sister is not in good health, which is the reason for the perennial work. That's why I've been following them all the time. Saying this, Natalia asked rhetorically, "Are you...... Did you also work in a hospital? Did you graduate from Paplov Medical College? I think you are so young and beautiful, you must not have graduated yet, right? What kind of major did you study?"
Yelena originally wanted to take off her coat, but she didn't want to at this time, just when the adjutant came in, still carrying a box in her hand, seeing this situation, she secretly said that it was not good in her heart, and she wanted to put down her things and leave, but she was stopped by Yelena,
"Adjutant, what's the matter with this woman?
"No, she's just ......"
"Chief of the guard!" Yelena called, and everyone was gathered here at this time to see the hostess, so as soon as Yelena called, another twenty-seven or eighteen-year-old man in military uniform stood up, Yelena saw him, her eyes narrowed, and she said, "Reshevsky? I didn't expect to see you here." β
Ryshevsky was very surprised, he used to be just a guard by the general's side, and he had seen Yelena, and only once, when he was at Nomenkan, he seemed a little excited, and said, "Madam, what do you command?"
Volkov's statement to them was that Madame had returned, and after he saw Yelena, he understood very well that the status of this Madame was unquestionable and very respectful,
"Can anyone come and go here at will? The general handed over his family to you, and that's how you did it?"
"This ...... Because she is a doctor, she has come to check the old lady's body, so she ......"
"Do you think you can explain this to me, or can you explain it to Volkov?"
At this time, there is nothing to understand, Yelena has no pleasure in playing majestic in front of these people, let alone a sense of accomplishment, and when she is angry, the old lady Maria suddenly covered her chest and shouted, "Ah...... My chest, my heart is beating so fast......"
Yelena hurried over, but just as she was about to grab the old lady's wrist, she was waved away by Agata and said to Natalia, "Natalia, come and see." β
Yelena watched Maria peek at herself, and then saw Natalia Zolchenko's apologetic smile, she smiled too, and said to the adjutantant, "Since there is such a dutiful doctor and mistress here, I will not make a mess." Went first. β
The adjutant Pedinov did not dare to say more, so he could only open the door for Yelena, and he went out with the box again, without glancing at the chief of the guard, Ryshevsky, before leaving. Reshevsky thought that this incident would directly affect his career and hurriedly called the leader. But he did not dare to report directly to Volkov, but reported to Yantyuk. was scolded severely, but his heart became more uneasy, and he was even more resentful of Natalia, and hurried to drive people away.
Natalia was a little frenzied and tearing with him, and Ryshevsky was very impatient, pushed Natalia away, and said, "You used to have a period with the general, but it's over, and the organization has arranged for you to get married." There's nothing between you anymore. β
"That's what the general forced me to do, I helped him find Tatyana, I organizationally forced me to marry someone else, and now that my husband has died, what's wrong with me returning to him now, and he's married. β
The quarrel between the two men took place in the hall, so Maria and Agata they both saw it. She was about to lose her job, Reshevsky shouted, "She is the wife of the general, the mother of the two young masters, and she has experienced the test of life and death together, and the relationship between them has been five or six years. Haven't you heard of Dr. Elena Terekina? She is a doctor of medicine and pharmacy from Pavlov Medical College, a doctor of economics from Harvard University, a doctor of physics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and so on, and she herself is one of the inventors of antibiotics, and she can speak more than ten foreign languages. β
"No, it can't be, the person the general loves most in his heart is Tatyana's mother Yuria, she also carries Yuria's photo with her, and he also writes many letters to Yulia......"
Reshevsky could only tell her that it was all outdated news, and now the general only needs a photo of a woman in his pocket, and that is Yelena, and no one has dared to mention Yelena in front of him for so many years, because they all know that Yelena is the deepest scar of the general, and hearing the name Yelena will make him stunned, which shows the depth of love. Without thinking about anything else, Ryshevsky pulled the man out.
Yelena returned to the hospital, and not long after, an old acquaintance, Sokolov, came, and the purpose of his visit to Yelena was also very simple, to explain to Volkov.
"Did Volkov ask you to come?" Yelena sneered,
Sokolov said, "The general does not know about this yet, and now he is busy making a new battle plan, just let me tell you that he cannot go back to dinner." Although this matter is important, I still cannot disturb the general's work at this time. He can't afford to be distracted. β
Yelena sighed and said, "I see. β
Then, Sokolov told Yelena about Natalia Zolchenko, who was originally called Natalia Sidorova, and only changed her surname after marriage, but now her husband has died. Before meeting Yelena, Natalia was Volkov's war girlfriend, and Volkov also filed for divorce for this, but it was still Lyudmila who reported to her superiors, so Volkov was forced to break up with her. And Natalia also married an Air Force pilot under the arrangement of the organization and was transferred to the Kiev Special Military District. Later, they met again in the Kiev Special Military District, but it was accidental, and the general did not mean to learn from her again, according to past experience, in this situation, everyone will no longer be entangled in the past, and Volkov only remembered Yelena in his heart at that time. Although Natalia helped Volkov find his illegitimate daughter, and the general treated her better than others, but that's all, it can only be said that it is a friend, a little better than an ordinary friend.
Yelena listened to Sokolov's evasive narration and asked with a smile, "A little better than ordinary friends, then...... Didn't they sleep with each other again?"
"This ...... You know, the general is just a little lonely, it doesn't mean anything, there is no love at all, it's just a purely physical relationship, and she's not the only one. Sokolov thought that he had succeeded in interceding for the general, but he forgot that Yelena's thinking was originally different from that of ordinary Soviet women, so when she saw that Yelena's face did not improve, but became darker, he knew that he had done something bad. Others don't know that he hasn't known Yelena for a day or two, and in any case, Yelena can deal with it with a smile, but pulling down his face like this shows that the anger in Yelena's heart can no longer be controlled.
