Chapter 346: Brothers I Haven't Seen in Twenty Years I
A black sedan drove on the road to the outside of the road. Daxi Yan closed his eyes slightly and didn't say a word. Ulyanova sat right next to him. Xiaobao sat in the co-pilot's seat.
The road is getting worse and worse, and the ups and downs are constantly bumpy. Fortunately, it's winter, and the roads are already icy, so if it's summer, it must be muddy.
From time to time, Ulyanova pointed out the direction in which the driver was going. Xiaobao is at a loss for what to do where he is going today.
"It's coming soon, and he's staying in front." Ulyanova said to Oki Nounichi.
Daiki Yanyi slowly opened his eyes. Look out the windows at the rows of dilapidated wood-paneled houses.
The car stopped in front of a row of twisted wooden fences.
Xiaobao was the first to open the car door and jump out of the car. He opened the door and told Daiki to get out of the car.
Ulyanova was the first to walk into the courtyard and said to an old man who was bent over and chopping wood: "Uncle Seryosha, our chief has come to see you." ”
The old man lifted his gray head and looked at the gate of the courtyard.
Da Xiyan took a few steps and stretched out his hands to hold the old man's rough hand tightly.
"Hello Mr. Seryosha. I'm here to apologize to you. It would be rude not to take care of the life of a warrior like you against the Bolsheviks. As soon as Daxi Yan finished speaking, he bowed to Seryosha.
Ulyanova immediately translated the words of Daiki Nounichi into Russian and spoke them to the old man.
Seryosha looked at Daxi Yanyi suspiciously, not knowing what to say.
"I'll ask someone to help you find a better place to live right away, and I must let you live a worry-free life." Daiki Yanichi said very kindly.
The old man Seryosha trembled his lips and said, "Long live His Majesty Emperor Nikolai!" Long live General Kolchak! Thank you so much. He ignored what he said about the two men who had ascended to heaven twenty years earlier.
The old man walked into the house with three people.
There was nothing left in the small, dark house. There was only a broken quilt scattered on the kang. Russians like to sleep in beds, but here they can only use the ondol to keep warm.
Da Xiyan looked around and there was not even a chair in the house, so he had to stand and say to Seryosha: "Mr. Seryosha, do you remember the things in your hometown? Is there anyone else in your family? ”
After listening to Ulyannova's translation, the old man burst into tears, his eyes trembled, and he said, "Why don't you remember." That's what I think about every moment of every day. ”
Tears flowed down her cheeks and down her beard, more than a foot long, to the front of her clothes.
"You also have a younger brother, do you remember? What's his name? Da Xiyan was already staring at Seryosha's face when he asked.
"You mean little Ivan? Oh, and his big name should be Bogdanov. He's alive? Where is he? The old man exclaimed in surprise.
"Of course he's alive. In a few days he will be in Harbin. I'll arrange for you to meet then. Ohi said with a smile. This is the purpose of his coming here this time.
"Thank you, thank you!" Old man Seryosha grabbed Daxi Yanyi's hand tightly and said.
Da Xiyan turned his head and said to Ulyanova: "You and Qian Xiaobao put the old man in the house we have prepared on Station Street. If he has any other requests, report to me immediately, and I will do my best to accommodate them. ”
"Yes!" Ulyanova replied immediately.
Xiaobao has been standing by and watching quietly. Although he couldn't understand the conversation between Daiki Enyi and Seryosha, he could also tell that Ulyanova should have been here before, and knew much more than he did.
Daiki Yanichi left in a car. Leaving Xiaobao and Ulyannova big-eyed to small-eyed.
"What are we going to do now?" Xiaobao asked.
"Chief Daiki Enichi ordered us to place the old man in a house that had been prepared." Ulyanova said.
There are many destitute old people like Seryosha who fled to Harbin from Russia, why do you have to take care of him alone? There's got to be weird about that.
"I'm going to find a rickshaw and pull the old man to where you said." After Xiaobao finished speaking, he turned around and walked out to find the rickshaw.
The rickshaw was quickly found and brought here by Xiaobao.
Old man Seryosha knew that he was going to leave here, so he wanted to bring a few of his torn clothes and tattered quilts with him.
"Everything is ready for you. You don't have to bring any of that. When the time comes, I'll give you a new one. Ulyanova said. Her tone was soft and full of sympathy for the old man. After all, she also fled from Russia.
But the old man still stubbornly locked the two doors carefully before he got into the rickshaw and followed Xiaobao and Ulyanova away.
The station street in front of the Harbin Railway Station is one of the busiest locations in Harbin. There are a lot of good houses and the price of the house is also very high. When Yu Haoran's wife Yancui was hidden by the Golden House, she lived here with her mother, Aunt Li.
The Intelligence Department of the Kwantung Army arranged for the old man Seryosha to live in a bungalow with a separate courtyard. There was already a middle-aged Russian woman inside. It should have been hired by the Intelligence Department of the Kwantung Army to take care of the elderly. There may also be tasks to keep an eye on the elderly.
Looking at the completely Russian-style houses and furniture, as well as the Russian women who took care of him, Seryosha was speechless with excitement. He stepped from hell to heaven in one step.
Xiaobao and Ulyanova pulled the old man out again, bought a few sets of clothes, went to a barber shop, cut his hair, trimmed his beard, and sent the old man back.
After working for so long a day, the three of them were a little tired. The Russian woman who took care of Seryosha had already prepared a meal and was waiting for the old man to return.
Xiaobao and Ulyanova said goodbye and walked out of the old man's bungalow.
Xiaobao looked around and didn't see anything unusual.
"Don't worry, someone is in charge of keeping an eye here." Ulyanova whispered.
"How about I treat you to dinner today? What do you want to eat? Xiaobao asked with a smile.
"I want to eat caviar, foie gras. I haven't eaten it in a long time. It's the last time you invited me to eat when we went to Shanghai together. Ulyanova said in surprise.
Xiaobao's heart seemed to bleed. He wanted to say to Ulyanova that you go straight to eat and forget about the money.
But he still led Ulyanova into a Western restaurant with a smile on his face and asked Ulyanova to order whatever she wanted. In the end, Xiaobao asked for another bottle of very expensive red wine.
Xiaobao ate this meal very gentlemanly, and he poured wine for Ulyanova from time to time. Watching Ulyannova gobble up very ladylikely.
In the end, Xiaobao sent Ulyanova home with a gentleman.
"This old man doesn't know what shit luck has gone. Your family is also from Russia, and the Ministry of Intelligence has not prepared such a good house for you. Xiaobao brought the topic to Seryosha and said.
