ChapterĀ 1823 1823: Shooting With Shotguns
Yu Qi took out another plastic bag from her bag. She placed it in front of Grandpa Wei.
"What is it?" Grandpa Wei asked.
"Medicine wine." Yu Qi stated.
"What?" Grandpa Wei was startled.
He quickly grabbed the plastic bag. He opened the plastic bag and looked inside. It was the gla.s.s jar which contained some herbs that had been soaked in the yellow solution.
"Don"t drink too much. One cup per day is enough. It can help with your health." Yu Qi stated.
"Thank you." Grandpa Wei was happy to receive the medicine wine from his granddaughter-in-law.
He had about Yu Qi"s medicine wine before. When he went to see Long Feiyi (Grandpa Long), that old man showed off the medicine wine to him. That old man let him taste some of the medicine wine and it was very delicious. He even begged that old man for more but that old man was very stingy. "It looks like a science project." Wei Ding Ye commented.
"What do you know about it?" Grandpa Wei retorted. He guarded the medicine wine like he was guarding his life. Since Yu Qi gave the medicine wine to him, she already took him as her family member too.
"It is about lunch. Why don"t you guys join us?" Feng Nie Lan invited Yu Qi and Long Hui while smiling.
Yu Qi glanced at Long Hui. Seeing Long Hui did not protest the idea, Yu Qi nodded accepting the invitation. "Great." Gu Muxue said.
No one spoke about Old Madam Wei, Nie Zhu Mei. Yu Qi also did not want to hear about her. The lunch was very good. Wei Yan, Wei Ding Ye"s father returned home for lunch. He was surprised to see Long Hui and Yu Qi.
He greeted Long Hui and Yu Qi like an elder greeted his junior. Long Hui and Yu Qi excused themselves. They wanted to leave and visit Grandpa Long next. However, they found out that Grandpa Long was not at his house. He was at the shooting area in the military base. "What is he doing over there?" Yu Qi asked.
"It seems he gives training to the soldiers." Long Hui said.
"Can we visit him there?" Yu Qi asked.
"Hmm..." Long Hui nodded.
"Let"s go then." Yu Qi said.
Long Hui drove to the shooting ground. They entered the place after Long Hui showed his ID. They looked around and found Grandpa Long who currently shouting at the soldiers. "Straighten your hand to your shoulder"s level. Open your leg more. You at number 3, open more." Grandpa Long shouted.
It seemed these men were recruits. They had been given to Grandpa Long to learn shooting.
Yu Qi and Long Hui walked to Grandpa Long. Grandpa Long was surprised to see his grandson and his granddaughter-in-law here.
"What are you doing here?" Grandpa Long asked.
"Visiting you, of course." Long Hui stated.
"Is it today?" Grandpa Long asked.
"Hmm..." Long Hui nodded.
Long Hui did tell him about their visit. But it seemed he forgot about that.
"Sorry. I forget." Grandpa Long said.
"It"s okay, Grandpa." Yu Qi smiled. "So, are you teaching them shooting?" "Hmm... Do you want to try?" Grandpa Long asked.
"Hmm... what kind of gun that you have here?" Yu Qi asked.
Grandpa Long did not expect that she would ask that question.
Seeing his grandfather"s reaction, Long Hui asked. "Do you forget who won the shooting compet.i.tion a few years ago?" Grandpa Long seemed to remember that his granddaughter-in-law was a shooting champion back then. "Oh, yeah. I forget about that." Grandpa Long laughed. "We have handguns, rifles, and many more." "Do you have a shotgun?" Yu Qi asked.
"Of course. Do you want to try?" Grandpa Long asked.
"Hmm... Sure. It has been a long time since I am in the shooting ground." Yu Qi said. Yu Qi was wearing casual clothes which suitable for shooting. She wore the equipment and took a shotgun. Everyone at the shooting ground looked at Yu Qi. They were surprised to see an outsider, especially a woman. That woman even chose a shotgun to shoot. They watched the woman loading the shotgun smoothly. Looked like she had done it many times before. Shotguns are made for moving targets. The shooting ground already prepared the moving target. Yu Qi gave the signal that she was ready. It had started. Yu Qi was not in a hurry. She looked at the moving target very carefully. After confirming it, Yu Qi shot it. The bullet went straight at the moving target. It was a hit. Everyone was clapping. Yu Qi was startled. She did not expect that they were watching her instead of practising. She just smiled awkwardly. "You are really good. Not many could shoot as precise as you do." Grandpa Long Hui said. "If only you are a soldier, I would like to take you as my student." He sighed.
"Grandpa, I like my current job." Yu Qi stated.
"I know... I know... I don"t plan to ask you to change your career. If I do so, I don"t know what my idiot grandson would do." Grandpa Long glanced at Long Hui.
Some soldiers came over. They seemed to be excited about something.
"Excuse me. Are you Colonel Long?" One of the soldiers asked.
"Yes. I am." Long Hui nodded.
Then, the soldiers stood up properly and greeted Long Hui with a soldier greeting.
