Once the identity was confirmed, the relationship between the two parties suddenly became much more harmonious.
Krasnov took out the delicious bacon and smoked fish collected in his home and served Zhou Sen and Anna, as well as vodka.
The dinner was very sumptuous.
I guess in Krasnov's house, it only happens during the New Year or important festivals.
This meal may have eaten up the Krasnov family's living expenses for a month, and Zhou Sen felt a little sorry.
While eating, we were talking.
Zhou Sen learned that Krasnov was already married and had a child. His wife's name was Yvonne, the daughter of a local lumberjack.
The little boy's name was Barlow. He was a little timid, but he looked a lot like his mother between his eyebrows.
Zhou Sen didn't know that Krasnov was married and had a son, so he didn't prepare any gifts. After thinking about it, he gave Barlow a Parker pen that he brought with him.
This pen was not a valuable item. It could be bought anywhere in the United States. He did not just bring one pen. It was harmless to give one to Barlow.
But this was in Soviet Russia, and not everyone could own such a pen. Yvonne thought it was too valuable and refused to accept it.
First domain name m.
But Krasnov didn't think anything of it. He wouldn't get back what Zhou Sen gave away, so he insisted.
Yvonne and Barlow finally accepted the pen.
Because there was something serious to talk about, Krasnov did not persuade Zhou Sen to drink much wine, and the two of them drank only half a bottle of vodka.
After the meal, Zhou Sen found a reason and pushed Anna away.
Krasnov is a naval architect and an intellectual, so it is no problem to have a study room at home. However, his study room is combined with his workroom.
It was a basement with a large space, and the walls were covered with all kinds of tools, as well as old-fashioned shotguns.
On the workbench, a sailboat model caught Zhou Sen's attention. He was also a "model" fan in the past, but it would definitely not work if he didn't have "rice" in his pocket. Doing it by himself would be too time-consuming, and he didn't have the time. …
"This is a Spanish sailing ship model. My son really likes sailing ships, so I made a model for him..." Speaking of his son, Krasnov's face was filled with love and kindness.
Zhou Sen sighed inwardly. He knew very well that even though Krasnov's original idea of being ordered to lurk had not changed, his life had changed.
Marrying a wife and having children means that a person has more responsibilities and more bonds. Although she has not experienced it personally, he understands this truth.
How much loyalty does Krisnov have to his original hidden mission, or to his father Anthony and the organization?
It's hard to say.
Anna may not be aware of this problem for a while, but as time goes by, she will understand. After all, agents are smart and sensitive.
"Has Anthony ever told you about me?" Krasnov asked while stepping on his belt and grinding something. "He likes to smoke pipes. I made him one before."
"No, before I accepted this task, I knew nothing about what he did." Zhou Sen said, "But I may have seen the pipe you mentioned. He is usually reluctant to take it out to smoke."
"It seems that he doesn't want to involve you in this whirlpool." Krasnov said with a sigh.
"Maybe, after all, I am Chinese. He thinks that I can't understand your thoughts, so he just doesn't let me get involved." Zhou Sen nodded.
"You and Martha..."
"She took orders directly from the Japanese." Zhou Sen was not afraid of being tipped off. Krasnov used that method to verify his identity. How could he be sure that the person in front of him was indeed Anthony's father?
"It seems that you can't help yourself." Krasnov was stunned for a moment, a little surprised by Zhou Sen's confession, and then nodded, "What do you need me to do when you come this time?"
"I don't know, I still have to obey orders from above."
"It seems that the Japanese have big plans." Krasnov said.
How could Zhou Sen not know that the Japanese wanted the entire Far East, which was rich in products, vast in territory, and sparsely populated.
Once it is occupied and developed, Japan will be able to avoid the tragedy of struggling to survive on that resource-poor island.
"Although I have been here for more than ten years and have some personal connections, it is not easy to get core confidential information." Krasnov frowned.
"Do your best. I don't know what they want to do now, but I feel like something will happen in the near future." Zhou Sen said, "Manchuria belongs to the Japanese now, and I have to listen."
"Would you like to call the rest of my team over to meet with you?" Krasnov asked.
"No, for safety reasons, I will only contact you. Moreover, we are relatives now, so we will not be suspected when we move around each other." Zhou Sen shook his head.
"Are you planning to stay here for a long time?"
"Maybe, we came back this time because Martha's father passed away, to visit relatives and join you." Zhou Sen nodded and said, "I have a medical license and plan to open a clinic in the city. But I don’t know what procedures are required to open a clinic here..."
"Your medical license?"
"False, but you don't have to worry about his medical skills. They won't be any worse than the doctors in your clinic here." Zhou Sen said truthfully.
"I don't know what procedures are required to open a clinic here, but I can ask you what you need, and I'll tell you later." Krasnov nodded.
"good."
"You won't be staying at the Amur Hotel forever, will you?"
"We're already looking for a house."
"How about staying at home? I have a free room here..." Krasnov's voice suddenly became louder when he saw Anna appearing at the basement door.
"No, why bother uncle? We just got married, sometimes..." Zhou Sen continued embarrassedly.
"Haha, uncle understands that young people are different from uncle." Krasnov laughed and expressed his understanding.
Anna came over. The promised carriage was here to take them back to the hotel.
We can't let people wait outside all the time.
"Uncle, don't send it off. We live not far away. We will come over to see you when we have time. Also, little brother Barlow."
"Okay, then walk slowly and come home when you have time. Stop eating out and eat at home," Krasnov said.
"good."
On the carriage, Zhou Sen closed his eyes and rested, while Anna sat quietly beside him without speaking.
At the door of the hotel, Zhou Sen paid the money, and the two returned to their room and checked to make sure no one came in while they were away.
"What did you say to Krasnov down there, and you deliberately pushed me away?" Anna said dissatisfied.
"It won't be good if you get involved in the conversation between us men," Zhou Sen said.
"Let me ask you, what exactly did you two say?"
"We just met, and we haven't established basic trust yet. What do you think I can say to him?" Zhou Sen asked, "People change, Miss Martha."
"What should we do now? We will contact you again at noon tomorrow." Anna also knew that she was too impatient, so she calmed down and said.
"Just say that we have successfully connected, established initial trust, and are waiting for the next instruction!" Zhou Sen took out a cigarette and held it between his fingers without lighting it.
"It can only be this way."
"I'm going out to smoke a cigarette. You wash up first." Zhou Sen took the lighter, opened the door and walked out. Tonight's meeting was both expected and unexpected.
The situation is a bit complicated at the moment. We need to meet with the hunters tomorrow to find out what they have learned about Krasnov.
A cigarette quickly ran out of steam. He put out the butt, but lowered his head to pick it up, took it back, and flushed it in the toilet. It would be safest to do so.
Anna had already washed herself, changed into pajamas, and lay on the bed, flipping through a magazine that the hotel provided for guest entertainment. It was of course in Russian, and most of the books in it promoted "Bolshevism."
"I'll take a bath, you go to bed first." Zhou Sen came in, closed the door, locked it, and informed Anna who was in the room.
Anna didn't respond, Zhou Sen just assumed she knew.
The bathtub was filled with hot water. Zhou Sen sat in it and closed his eyes comfortably. He had not been able to take a relaxing bath for several days.
I really miss the past days, I'm afraid they will never come back.
"Hey, the water is cold!" A sudden voice came to my ears. The bathroom door had opened at some point. Anna was wearing a pink pajamas and standing against the door frame, with her hands crossed in front of her chest and her eyes looking at the girl sitting there. Zhou Sendao in the bathtub.
"Why didn't you knock on the door when you came in?" Zhou Sen was startled and quickly reached out to protect his privacy.
"I saw that you hadn't come out for so long, and I was afraid that you would fall asleep and catch a cold if you stayed there for a long time, so I came here to take a look." Anna said.
"I understand, come out right now." Zhou Sen was about to stand up when he found that Anna was still there and sat down again, "What are you still standing there for?"
"We have lived together for so long. We have seen everything we should and shouldn't see. Are you still ashamed?"
"That's different." Zhou Sen said.
"What's the difference? You Chinese men are just too particular. In fact, it is human instinct to pursue liberation!" Anna turned around and said, "Actually, even if something happens to me, I won't tell Boss Bai of."
Zhou Sen had just gotten out of the bathtub with one foot. Hearing these words, he almost slipped and sat down directly.
Zhou Sen put on his bathrobe, walked out of the bathroom with bare feet, and stepped on the floor in the room, making a "squeaking" sound.
Anna closed the bedroom door, and Zhou Sen came to the living room and sat down on the sofa, with the quilt and pillows on the side.
Turn off the lights, and the moonlight shines in through the glass window, white and holy.
The moon is round in my hometown.
I don’t know if Bai Yulan is asleep at this moment. Will she miss herself? He was originally a man without a father and mother, and now his adoptive father is gone.
He should not have any worries, but tonight when he met the Krasnov family of three.
He suddenly felt something. A person must have a trace of care in his life. Only then can he have meaning and have the motivation to live.
can not fall asleep.
He stood up, walked to the window, slightly opened a gap, let the cold night breeze blow in, and let himself cool down.
At this moment, a top-secret telegram flew from the Khabarovsk Far East Intelligence Agency to the Ice City via airwaves.
The chess pieces finally entered the game.
