& # 39; On the first date, the boys meowed shyly: & # 39; Mom! & # 39;
< em>Once they had to sell a car and & nbsp; in & nbsp; Volgograd region. & nbsp; for & nbsp; remains of the deceased grandfather in & nbsp; the Great Patriotic War. They talk about & nbsp; their own Victory Soldier with & nbsp; tears to & nbsp; eyes. It is his fate, they say, it is truly an achievement. A & nbsp; children & mdash; this is not an achievement, it is happiness. Yes, a lot of worries and worries, a lot of work and sleepless nights. But & nbsp; is always happy, what & nbsp; this family has enough!
Gingerbread man from & nbsp; three parts
Petropavlovka & nbsp; & mdash; a small village in the region of Amour. A small street of houses still of Soviet construction, along which the sovereign Cupid makes noise in white worms. You can only get to Petropavlovka by bypassing the border line, where your passport will be carefully examined.
The Mungalov house is the largest in the village. “ Six rooms at & nbsp; us & # 39; & # 39 ;, & nbsp; & mdash; explains Valentina Mungalova. From & nbsp; their & nbsp; yard eventually left a big flood. Cupid has washed the well, worn out the greenhouses, knocked out the public baths, demolished a good half of the breadwinner's garden. & Nbsp;
But & nbsp; at & nbsp; Mungalovs and & nbsp; in post-flood realities, life is in full swing with a noisy fair. Old car tires have been turned into flower beds. The summer shower was revived, the wooden kitchen came to life, in which a pan of rich borscht languished before our arrival. When asked, who the cook is, a friendly laugh broke out: “ He's already asleep, passed out. While the borscht and & nbsp; pilaf were cooking & nbsp; & mdash; tired … & raquo;
& mdash; & nbsp; Our three boys Tomilov & nbsp; & mdash; this is a roll of & nbsp; Three parties. When we & nbsp; are close, they are ready to demolish the mountains, when we are not, such mountains will inflict, & nbsp; & mdash; Valentina Grigorievna smiles.
She is a professional teacher, graduated from the History Department of the Annunciation Pedagogical Institute. Soviet fate sent a young teacher to & nbsp; three years of 'working out' at the edge of the Amur region. To & Nbsp; The Very Border With & Nbsp; Transbaikalia. There, Valentina and & nbsp; met Nikolai. Yesterday's paratrooper gave him & nbsp; his reliable shoulder and & nbsp; his ardent heart. & Nbsp;
“ We take everyone! & # 39; & # 39;
Life went on, the children & nbsp; & mdash; and & nbsp; their & nbsp; in the & nbsp; family there were three & nbsp; & mdash; grew up. The Mungalovs went to live in & nbsp; Petropavlovka, the homeland of Valentina. There the news came to them and to & nbsp; that a tragedy had happened to the & nbsp; distant relatives of Nicholas. In & nbsp; drunk stupor, the father killed the mother & nbsp; & mdash; eight children remain orphans.
& mdash; & nbsp; We take everyone, & nbsp; & mdash; hit Nikolay.
“ They killed the bull, for & nbsp; this money i & nbsp; them & nbsp; and & nbsp; brought from the orphanage, where they already managed to & nbsp; send them & raquo ;, & nbsp; & mdash; Valentina remembers.
Almost all the stuff was with & nbsp; psychological problems and & nbsp; a bunch of somatic ailments, did not know how to use a fork and & nbsp; went independently to & nbsp; bathroom.
& mdash; & nbsp; No & nbsp; everything was simple. The oldest boy was then 15 & nbsp; years. When he & nbsp; came to & nbsp; us he lived four years and & nbsp; left. We & nbsp; with & nbsp; could not do anything, & nbsp; he has his own ideas about & nbsp; life. Work in & nbsp; these views were not & nbsp; included, & nbsp; & mdash; sigh the Mungalovs.
The rest they raised & nbsp; and, as they say, brought to & nbsp; people. The youngest, Paradise and & nbsp; Dasha , were adopted. Now the girls are for & nbsp; marriages, but & nbsp; trouble with & nbsp; suitors!
& mdash; & nbsp; I have not & nbsp; shame for & nbsp; them in front of future sons-in-law. There is no work that they cannot do at home. By & nbsp; docile nature. But & nbsp; we do not have need grooms who drink, & mdash; mother Valya waves her hand.
With & nbsp; sober grooms in & nbsp; these pieces are rare …
My question is & nbsp; and & nbsp; was & nbsp; if at least a minute of desperation from & nbsp; such a heavy burden of motherhood, Valentina Grigorievna shook her head in & nbsp; answer:
& mdash; & nbsp; No ! I haven't regretted a single second. Only once did she cry bitterly when little Raya upset the whole room.
The Mungalovs have a herd of cows, horses and sheep. All this is led by Nikolai Viktorovich with & nbsp; son. In & nbsp; minutes of rest, a retired parachutist goes into the & nbsp; forest & nbsp; & mdash; observe the & nbsp; birds. “ So I forget everything in the & nbsp; world & # 39; & nbsp; & mdash; the head of the family is recognized. & nbsp;
“ Don't be & nbsp; be lazy! & # 39; & # 39;
Several years ago, in the district education department, they were offered to examine three boys, whom the guardianship authorities took away from drunken parents. On the first date, Gleb, Kirill and & nbsp; Roma meowed shyly: “ Mum … ''.
& mdash; & nbsp; My heart melted in & nbsp; one second, & nbsp; & mdash; says Valentina Mungalova.
So the Tomilov brothers began to live in their house. What she calls a 'kolobok of & nbsp; Three parties. & # 39; & # 39; The boys seem to be woven from the purest mercury. The & nbsp; place is not & nbsp; stand. All three graduated from school without a single C. The worn-out question of & nbsp; on their favorite subject was answered in chorus: “Fizra! ..” Polinka therefore appeared in the & nbsp; family and & nbsp; his & nbsp; brother Denis.
& mdash; & nbsp; Do not & nbsp; separate & nbsp; the same children! & mdash; & nbsp; exclaims adoptive parents.
For & nbsp; each 'official' child, the state allocates 13 & nbsp; thousand & nbsp; in & nbsp; month. Does & nbsp; will suffice for & nbsp; content ? In the & nbsp; answer i hear a rare, like a sober groom in & nbsp; this area, exclamation: “ Yes! & # 39; & # 39;
& mdash; & nbsp; Meat, milk, eggs, vegetables & nbsp; & mdash; all to him. Fish & nbsp; & mdash; grab it, don't be lazy! And & nbsp; how many berries grow here and & nbsp; nuts! In! & mdash; & nbsp; Nikolay scratches his finger above Adam's apple.
The early years, when their & nbsp; family grew up, Valentina Grigorievna often suffered from & nbsp; bad tongues. Leisure women could easily tell at the meeting that “ they took the kids to make money. & # 39; & # 39;
& mdash; & nbsp; Immunity already, & nbsp; & mdash; she waves her hand.
People are woven exclusively from & nbsp; little things. All that is great consists of & nbsp; small.
Five years ago in & nbsp; their & nbsp; house a shy bird hit late news: in & nbsp; Volgograd region. search engines have found the remains of Val's grandfather & nbsp; & mdash; front line machine gunner Terenty Nadejkine , who disappeared during the & nbsp; Battle of Stalingrad.
Then its & nbsp; 85 year old mother was still alive & nbsp; & mdash; gunner's daughter.
& mdash; & nbsp; Mom stopped sleeping at night, kept saying, “ Girl, how are we doing? my file ? & # 39; & # 39; & nbsp; & mdash; wipes away Valentina Mungalova's tears.
Their & nbsp; large family council visited the & nbsp; surprise quickly: they decided to sell the old car, and & nbsp; the eldest daughter in & nbsp; a second gave up & nbsp; dreams & nbsp; & mdash; the girl has been saving for a good fur coat for several years. For & nbsp; this Valentina money with & nbsp; she and & nbsp; went to & nbsp; Volgogradchina to save the hero-grandfather.
Terenty Nadezhkin held the defense until & nbsp; the last one, his eye was knocked out by an enemy fragment, then the command sent him to & nbsp; the help of a young officer David Shelekhoshvili.
& mdash; & nbsp; They were covered with an air bomb. So their & nbsp; and & nbsp; our decades later & nbsp; & mdash; two people in & nbsp; a funnel. The grandfather was identified by the Red Army Soldier's half-rotten book. And & nbsp; David has an officer's bag, in which is a letter from his sister with a & nbsp; return address. Search engines have found in & nbsp; Georgia that & nbsp; very sister, she & nbsp; was well beyond & nbsp; 90. When they showed her the letter from & nbsp;, she passed out, & nbsp; & mdash; Valentina Mungalova tells through her tears.
She carried Terenty Grigorievich's bones for 6 & nbsp; days in a & nbsp; bag sewn on & nbsp; the top shelf of a reserved car seat. To & nbsp; Petropavlovka, they cried over it and & nbsp; his daughter, his grandchildren and & nbsp; all of his many great-grandchildren made it through his last trip.
& mdash; Mom felt better at & nbsp; soul since & nbsp; the fact that she said goodbye to & nbsp; his file, & nbsp; & mdash; my interlocutor sweeps the invisible crumbs from the table. & nbsp;
Three wishes
… After the flood, they “ left '' the bathroom floor, the kitchen sags. They received compensation, but & nbsp; hope they prefer themselves.
& mdash; & nbsp; Pay & nbsp; & mdash; ok, don't & nbsp; get paid & mdash; we are going to taxi. The main thing is that everyone is alive and well. healthy, & nbsp; & mdash; say the Mungalovs.
& mdash; & nbsp; Valya, are you & nbsp; dream of something? & mdash; & nbsp; I ask him & nbsp ;.
& mdash; & nbsp; I have three dreams. The first & nbsp; & mdash; so that no one is & nbsp; sick, the second & nbsp; & mdash; so that in a neighboring village the school is not & nbsp; closed, and & nbsp; the third & nbsp; & mdash; so that & nbsp; we have a normal cellular connection. And & nbsp; then & nbsp; call & nbsp; & mdash; problem of & nbsp; problems. And & nbsp; what is whatsapp or real internet & mdash; we have no idea.
& mdash; & nbsp; And & nbsp; is not it? & mdash; & nbsp; tighten me.
& mdash; & nbsp; Well & nbsp; if & nbsp; what i & nbsp; dream, then our village will live. And & nbsp; while Petropavlovka is still alive & nbsp; & mdash; and & nbsp; we & nbsp; living. & nbsp;
Valentina Grigorievna, my dear! As long as the Mungalovs are alive, & nbsp; Russia is also alive.
