Chapter 465: Qi Yuefeng Is Coming to the Capital
For the first-year students’ shooting compet.i.tion, there were only four competing segments—the twenty-meter stationary target, fifty-meter stationary target, a hundred-meter stationary target, and as well as the twenty-meter moving target.
It was because the first-year students hadn’t even started with the fifty-meter moving target and above.
Which, to Gu Qingjiu, was a piece of cake.
She stood there and watched for a while, and felt it was quite boring.
It wasn’t that she looked down on her cla.s.smates…
But, alright, she felt it wasn’t at all challenging.
After all, now that Gu Qingjiu frequently spent time with the members of the Shooting Department, there wasn’t a single person in there with lousy shooting skills.
It was indeed not at all exciting watching this group of students compete.
She watched for a while, then pursed her lips and left.
The Chief Instructor would be very busy these two days, so she figured she wouldn’t be seeing him at all. The shooting compet.i.tion would commence tomorrow, so she decided she better go practice on her shooting skills.
Hence, she went to the Shooting Department.
There wasn’t anyone around right now. After all, the others were with their specialization.
Some members’ specialization buildings were far away from the Shooting Department, so they wouldn’t come here at this time.
Even if they wanted to practice, they could simply train in the shooting range in their specialization building.
But shortly after she had started her practice, Gu Qingjiu received a call from Qi Yuefeng.
“h.e.l.lo, Mom?”
She kept away her gun and sat on the floor to reply to Qi Yuefeng.
“Don’t you have to train today?”
Qi Yuefeng sounded a little surprised. “I was just trying my luck, and wasn’t expecting you to pick up the call.”
Gu Qingjiu smiled. “The school is holding selection rounds today, so there’s no training. Thus, I’m resting. Mom, is something the matter?”
Gu Qingjiu always sounded especially gentle and patient when she spoke with Qi Yuefeng.
Qi Yuefeng lowered her voice and said, “It’s like this. Your dad went overseas for work and will be away for a month. I’ll be all alone at home, and your dad told me to go over to the capital to take care of you two if I have nothing else on.”
“Is Dad away on a business trip?”
Gu Qingjiu sounded surprised. Just like Gu Qingmo, she wasn’t the sort of person who frequently contacted home, and would only make phone calls back home a few times a week.
But she wasn’t told that her father was going away on a business trip during the last phone call.
“Yeah, he’s away on business. Moreover, something seems to have happened on your Young Uncle’s side.”
Qi Yuefeng sounded like she was in a dilemma, and it took Gu Qingjiu a while to realize that by Young Uncle, she was referring to Gu Hong’s youngest brother, Gu He.
But in her previous lifetime, her two uncles in the Gu family were both overseas, and she had never seen them since she was young. Hence, she didn’t have a deep impression of them.
She thought about it, and she vaguely remembered nothing happened in the Gu family at this time. Hence, she asked, “What happened to Young Uncle?”
“Something about your Young Uncle’s son. I don’t know the details. Your dad knows some of it, but he didn’t tell me. While he’s overseas attending to business, he’s going to take the chance to visit your Young Uncle and his family. It’s been nearly two years since he saw them. If this went on, we might forget about this relative of his.”
Qi Yuefeng sighed.
They were family and ought to be in contact more often.
But because his two younger brothers and their families were overseas, their thinking differed from people who grew up and stayed in the country.
Other than the oldest sister Gu Shouyan, they didn’t get to see the two younger brothers much, and sometimes, they couldn’t even quite remember them.
Much less their children.
“Your dad will take care of this matter. You don’t have to worry about it, Mom. If you wish to come to the capital, just come. I’ll ask Brother to rent an apartment for you for a month.”
