Began as it should be with unloading ammunition in a properly prepared "warehouses". The receptionist, did not gain experience in Europe, took everything in the old manner, putting biological weapons on shelves and publishing incommunicable mats. (how is NOT biological? Even as biological. Eve was so infected that the "infection" spread all over the planet!).

Only then did the men really sweat the girl. Whipped birch besoms wholeheartedly. Having rinsed, we decided to sit at the table, while vodka did not boil. In order not to embarrass the grandfather wrapped the body with sheets.

My grandfather, knowing what zhor comes after e-bani, by this time had time to boil dumplings from its own reserves.

- Maksimych, while it's warm there, go at least rinse. - I tried to persuade Vadim.

- I do not want. You have a good mood, I do not want to spoil my sore. Let's drink just for health.

- Be healthy, Roman Maksimych. And you men do not get sick. - Margarita drank a third of a glass of wine, bit off a piece of sausage. - Grandpa, is your spouse healthy?

The blue shroud fell from the face of his grandfather on the face. Prior to this question, he looked just like an old man, with many wrinkles and age spots on parchment skin, with thick black eyebrows. An unexpected question revealed that wound, about which Roman tried not only to speak, but also to remember less often.

- There is no her for a long time ... And my son too.

- Oh, grandfather, forgive me stupid woman. - Daria also taught her to be called “Woman”.

- You did not know ... Yes, in this village, no one knows about my ... life ... On such a day, since you remembered, then let's remember for one thing.

Even Rita has emptied the glass. Tears appeared in the old man's eyes. The pain of the soul is not the pain of the body. It ages some years for decades, twisting back muscles, flexes to the ground, mimic muscles distort the face beyond recognition.

- On such a day ... you can repent ... The first day, exactly twenty-six years old happened as it is not ... I didn’t love anyone else ... and I also hated ... like Polina. Both before meeting her and after ... I saw her in the summer of sixty-five, so I immediately realized that she was the only one. Before her, of course, he paid attention to the girls. - My grandfather calmed down a little, began to speak smoothly, without stopping, thinking. - How without it ?! But he just glanced, did not even think about the future with any ... And she was my complete opposite. Hooligan that still. Naturally, these guys welcome them, cling to them, begging for favors. She did not immediately pay attention to me, but then began to glance, sometimes to speak maliciously, but it was noticeable that it was like a flirt. And we lived in the Omsk region, in the town of Odessa. Big village, in short. In the sixty-eighth year of the father, he was awarded the machine as the best machine operator. "Moskvich" four hundred and twelve. Steep, as they say, a guy, I began to be considered.It was because of this car that Polinka agreed to marry me. I was taken to the army, she promised to wait. Her friends, however, wrote that she had a bad promise, but I ignored their letters. Returned, got married. Naturally, she is no longer a girl ...

Maksimych took a sip from Rita’s glass of wine. Thinking, continued:

- And I don't care who she loved before me. Now she is my spouse. Everything is as usual, we live with my parents, trying to conceive the boy. Six months later suffered. A guy was born, a hero under five kilos of weight. My father's face looks like. Lived like everyone else, swore, put up. The neighbors, of course, spread the dirty rumors about Polina, but my love is indestructible. We are trying to conceive a second, it does not work. Five years to no avail. Suddenly became pregnant. I am happy, not paying attention to the rumor that the child is not from me. For four months she suffered, went oikala, wriggled in pain. Miscarriage. I again to her, let's say re-try. She looked at me like that. “You are a monster! Do not you see how hard it was for me? I do not want you to have children anymore! ”- I did not pay attention to the words“ from you ”. Okay, I say, wait a little. She corrected her health, everything as it should be with the spouses - responsibilities, so to speak. She somehow refers to this case, she doesn’t take the initiative, but during the time of intimacy ... it seems that she’s getting tricky. Sometimes great sex turned out. To my questions why this is happening, it is jaded as if in youth. But conception was no more. Then I just found out that she put the spiral ... Okay. It's time for Seryozhka to go to the service. He served in Kazakhstan, not far from us. Eight hundred kilometers. And here's another. He had managed to strip the boy before the service. Well, how was it? Seized the same in the fall went to the army, but as called, it turned out that the girl was in position. Her parents came to us, Polina and I understood the situation, we call Sergey for a part. He also does not refuse, he says that he really loves her, that he will try to beg for leave until Lenka gave birth and sign at home, everything is as it should be.

Roman once again soaked his throat with wine.

“But it was not that way ... Yeah, in Soviet times it was not supposed to give maternity leave to some unidentified girl command.” Lenka shouts that she will go to the part, she will sign there. The eyes at the very fire ... Clearly - the girl missed a man. We decide to drive my car to the part under Arkalyk. Between the matchmakers dispute which of them will go. Svati is convincing. In short, we agreed to go four together, Polka, Lenka and her mother Galina and me. There was a place for one more, but it was decided to collect the guests and wedding clothes. And the time is just festive - the New Eighty-ninth year. We left the thirtieth, early in the morning. I podshamanil car for the trip, did not disappoint. The weather, but spoiled everything. In the steppe, a snowstorm broke out, the food was attached to the marker lights of a truck. He breaks the skids, I keep up with him. Hundreds of three passed. He braked, but I can not go round - just a drift. We are waiting. Came out, smoked, found out what. It turned out, there is still a string of cars ahead and everyone is standing. He urinated, got into the car and told the women what had happened. Women also wanted a little need. I do not know how they made it through this wind. They got into the car, offered a snack. And surely I think it was already six hours that I was driving without a grub. Wife and Galka on a stoparik rolled, then one more. Lenka is not as common as they are, but he also got warm with vodka ... Ritul, pour me some tea, I won’t get a bottle of wine in my throat.

Maksimych was silent while the girl poured tea from the tea pot. Having irrigated his throat with moisture, the grandfather continued:

- I look - Jackdaw and Lenka in the back seat all to the middle of the door huddle. Clear conclusion. "Moskvich" is not a car to sit in fur coats, in which my companions went - blowing from the door. I glance at the level of gasoline in the tank. Going to pour until it was over. Trying to open my door. Dick there. Snow brought not move. He opened the window, climbed through it, put his coat on, and poured gasoline out of the canister. And windshield - cold instantly penetrates under your clothes. Look, I do not see the size of the truck. He came closer - the lights were practically covered with snow. He sat in his car. Frozen worse than icicles.Nakatil too vodka ... glass. Just drank, my car, once and died. Then only I guessed that maybe the snow was melting under the hood and the electrician closed.

Maksimych sipped his tea, stretched his face muscles.

- And here came the end of the world. Two minutes and all the heat blew through the cracks. Polka swears, Galka supports her. Lenka is crying. All knocked on me. Well, it is accepted in women - who is to blame? - man. Dressed, went to the front car. Drove asleep. I knocked, woke. He let us, in short, to himself. Machine "MAZ" without a sleeping bag. From the driver’s side, you'll get the hell, climb into the cabin through the passenger door. The first, as the slender, my Polinka, followed by Galka. Then Lenka and I are the last. The wife had to climb on his knees to the carrier Nikolay, Galka, a fat-ass cow occupied the whole hood. Lenka and I tried to share the seat, but in the end she ... Read more →
