After dawn, Ding Rong called the Moscow Film Studio and wanted to talk to Eisenstein. Unexpectedly, the person who answered the phone politely told Sokov: "I'm sorry, Comrade Eisenstein has been in poor health recently.
He is being treated in the hospital. Please leave your name and contact information. I will contact you after he is discharged from the hospital.
He conveyed it."
After hearing this, Sokov was a little surprised and asked: "I don't know what disease you have?" "Heart disease." The man sighed and said: "He fainted at the filming scene. When he was sent to the hospital for examination, it turned out to be a heart disease.
Something went wrong. The doctor said it was caused by overexertion, so he was advised to stay in bed.
Take some rest." Sokov tried hard to recall Sergei Eisenstein's resume, vaguely remembering this famous director, screenwriter, producer, actor, writer, and editor who graduated from the Architecture Department of the St. Petersburg Institute of Civil Engineering.
is 19
He died of angina pectoris on the filming set in February 1948 at the age of 50.
"In this case, I will wait until Comrade Eisenstein is discharged from the hospital and then visit him at the film studio."
When Sokov put down the phone, Asiya asked curiously: "Misha, what happened to Comrade Eisenstein?" "The comrades in their unit told me that Comrade Eisenstein fainted on the set a few days ago.
, he was sent to the hospital for examination and it was found that he had a heart problem. The doctor said it was caused by fatigue and advised him to stay in bed.
He needs to rest for a while. I think it’s not too late for me to wait for him to recover before visiting him.”
"Oh, that's fine too." Asiya then asked, "Do you have any other plans today?"
Sokov thought for a while and then said: "I haven't seen your parents for a long time. How about we go to Khimki Town to see them?"
"Really?" When Sokov said he was going to Khimki Town to see his parents, Asya looked particularly happy: "If they see you suddenly appearing in front of them, I think they will be very happy.
.”
"Do you have casual clothes at home?" Sokov didn't want to be too high-profile, so he planned to wear casual clothes to Khimki: "I don't want to attract too many people's attention, so I plan to wear casual clothes."
"Yes, yes. I bought you a set some time ago. Is it appropriate for you to implement it?"
Soon, Asiya took out the casual clothes from the closet and placed them in front of Sokov.
Sokov put on his casual clothes, took a picture in front of the full-length mirror, and felt quite satisfied, so he said to Asiya: "Asiya, let me go down first to see how the car is doing. After all, I haven't driven it for a month or two, and I don't know how it is."
Do you know if it can still be opened?"
"Okay, you go out first." Asiya said: "If the car can drive, you press the horn twice and I will get out."
When he got downstairs, Sokov opened his bucket truck and checked it out. It has to be said that German cars are good, and they are still in good condition after not driving them for so long. So Sokov pressed the horn twice and informed Assi.
Ya goes downstairs.
After the car drove out of the compound, Sokov asked Asiya: "Asiya, should we go to the nearby military store and buy something for your parents to take there?"
"I don't see the need anymore." Asia waved her hands and said, "The supply of supplies in stores now is much richer than during the war. Even the goods sold in ordinary stores are not much worse than those in military stores."
Sokov heard that Asiya was talking about a military store, not an officer store, and thought to himself: "There is an officer store in Khimki town. When we get there, we can buy something there to meet my father-in-law and mother-in-law."
When the town of Khimki was just ahead, a traffic police station appeared on the road. A traffic policeman stood in the middle of the road, pointed at Sokov's car with the command post in his hand, and motioned for him to pull over.
Sokov quickly followed the traffic police's instructions and parked the car on the side of the road. Then he rolled down the window, looked up at the approaching traffic police and asked, "Comrade traffic police, what's the matter?"
The traffic policeman came to the car and said expressionlessly: "Why don't you turn on the lights when driving?" Hearing what the traffic policeman said, Sokov couldn't help but blush. After all, he hadn't driven for a long time and actually forgot to drive in Russia.
You must drive with headlights day and night. He quickly apologized to the traffic police and said, "Isn't that right?"
Come on, Comrade Traffic Police, I forgot."
The traffic policeman snorted coldly, stretched out his hand to Sokov, and said expressionlessly: "Please show me your ID!"
Sokov quickly took out his military ID card and handed it to the traffic police.
The traffic policeman opened his ID card, glanced at it, hurriedly closed his military ID card, took a step back, straightened his body and raised his hand to salute Sokov: "Hello, Comrade General! Please forgive me, I don't know your identity...
..." "It doesn't matter, Comrade Traffic Police, this is not your fault." This time it was Sokov who violated the rules. Naturally, he would not blame the traffic police. Instead, he said reasonably: "Originally, I forgot to turn on the headlights while driving.
,
I’ll open it now!”
After receiving the certificate handed back by the traffic police, Sokov continued to drive forward.
Asiya, who was sitting in the passenger seat, asked with a smile: "Misha, if you were wearing military uniform today, do you think the traffic police would stop your car?" "Of course not." Sokov knew very well.
, your general's military uniform is the best pass. If you encounter a traffic jam ahead, maybe the traffic police will help you clear the road:
"Not only would they not stop the car, but they would stand on the roadside and salute me."
After the barrel truck entered the town of Khimki, Sokov walked along the street to the entrance of the officer's store. After parking the car, he said to Asiya: "Asiya, let's go to the store to buy something.
Visit your parents."
After the two got out of the car, they closed the car door and walked towards the store. Although they were both wearing casual clothes, they were not stopped by the salesperson. Because with the end of the war and the abundance of supplies on the market, the military store no longer
Restrict the entry and exit of ordinary people. But ordinary people
You can still only visit the store, but you can't buy the products inside.
After the two entered the store, they happened to watch an officer in a captain's uniform buy a lot of things and check out at the counter.
The saleswoman behind the counter said politely: "Comrade Captain, please show your military ID. We can only pay you after we complete the registration." Unexpectedly, after hearing this, the captain smiled and said a little embarrassedly: "Comrade salesperson.
, I’m so sorry. I was in a hurry to go shopping today and forgot to bring my military ID. Otherwise, I’ll wait until next time to buy something.
Can you register again?" But the saleswoman shook her head and said, "You have said this for the third time. Every time you say that you will bring your military ID card next time you come to buy something.
But until now, I have never seen what your military ID card looks like. Today
If you can't show your military ID, then I can't pay you." Seeing that the saleswoman was unwilling to pay for him, the captain straightened his face and said in a stern tone: "Do you know why I always forget to bring my military ID?
That's because I suffered a head injury on the battlefield, resulting in poor memory and often forgetting things. If you insist on proving it, then I will mortgage this medal here until the next time I get my military ID card.
, you give it back to me." As he said that, he planned to take off a medal on his chest.
?????55.?????
.
Seeing this, Asiya whispered to Sokov: "Misha, should we help that officer?" Sokov looked at the vodka, bacon, sausages, bread and chocolate on the counter.
Waiting, a strange thought came to my mind: If an officer eats so much food alone, he can eat it for at least half a month. He
Since you have to come to the military store to buy so many things, why would you forget to bring your military ID? This is really strange.
It was precisely because of this strange thought that when he heard Asiya's suggestion, he shook his head slightly and said, "Asiya, I think we should not meddle in other people's business." The saleswoman wanted to medal herself when she saw the officer.
He was detained here, feeling a little panicked, and quickly waved his hands and said: "Forget it, Comrade Captain, forget it this time. If you forget to bring your military ID next time, I will never do it."
I'll pay for you." Watching the saleswoman paying the captain's bill, Sokov suddenly remembered an American show he watched later. The crew arranged for a young actor to push an old lady in a wheelchair to the downtown area.
District, suddenly yelled at her, and then pretended to throw away the medal she received during the war to observe the reactions of the passers-by around her. In the United States, passers-by turn a blind eye to what is happening in front of them.
As if nothing ever happened
It happened normally. In Russia, when the actor just yelled at the old lady, some pedestrians stopped and watched. When they saw the actor throwing away the old lady’s medal, enthusiastic people immediately came forward.
Some picked it up and were killed by actors
Some of the medals were thrown away, and some came forward to beat the actor. It can be seen from this that Russians regard honor as more important than their own lives.
After the captain waited for the saleswoman to finish the calculation, he paid the money readily and walked out of the store with his things. When he passed by Sokov and Asya, he smiled and nodded to them.
Sokov and Asiya came to the counter. Before they could speak, the saleswoman said: "Two citizen comrades, this is an officer's store. You cannot buy goods here without an officer's ID card."
Sokov took out his military ID and handed it over, and asked with a smile: "Comrade salesperson, can you look at my ID and see if you can buy goods here?" The saleswoman took Sokov's military ID and said casually.
I opened it, and when I saw the content clearly, I was shocked and said in a panic: "I'm sorry, Comrade General, of course you can buy our products."
Goods. I wonder what you plan to buy?”
"Asiya." Sokov turned to Asiya and said, "Go to other counters and see what you can buy." When Asiya agreed and turned around to check the products at other counters,
Sokov took back his ID, and at the same time smiled at the saleswoman: "Salesperson, my wife is also a soldier, a military doctor, and she is also qualified.
I want to buy goods in this store." Unexpectedly, after hearing this, the captain smiled and said a little embarrassedly: "Comrade salesperson, I'm really sorry. I was in a hurry to go shopping today and forgot to bring my military ID. Otherwise.
In this way, I will come back to buy something next time
Can you register again?" But the saleswoman shook her head and said, "You have said this for the third time. Every time you say that you will bring your military ID card next time you come to buy something. But until now
So far, I have never seen what your military ID card looks like. Today
If you can't show your military ID, then I can't pay you." Seeing that the saleswoman was unwilling to pay for him, the captain straightened his face and said in a stern tone: "Do you know why I always forget to bring my military ID?
