Chapter 360: I received the money from selling fish, and also received tea
"Type 38 rifle? Who told you to use it?"
"What family conditions? You should practice with real guns and bullets from the beginning." Chen Guobiao said.
"Then what else can we use? You can't use a slingshot, right?"
"Huh? How do you know?"
Chen Guobiao dug out a slingshot from under the pile of straw beside him.
He handed it to Chen Hui and said, "Go to the river and find some stones. The more the better. They should be about this size and round!"
"Uncle Guo Biao, didn't we agree to learn shooting first and then learn hunting?" Chen Hui asked.
Chen Guobiao nodded: "Don't worry, this is what my master taught me, and I will teach you the same way now, it can't be wrong."
Chen Hui didn't say anything else and went to the river bank under the bridge and searched upwards.
According to Chen Guobiao's request, he brought back two bags of pebbles.
"That's all? How can it be enough? Look for it further down." Chen Guobiao said.
Chen Hui walked downstream again and came back with twice as many stones.
Chen Guobiao's scarecrow is basically done.
It has a head, a body, arms and even two legs.
Chen Guobiao also found a piece of rag to cover his body.
"Uncle Guo Biao, I didn't expect you to be so good at making figurines."
Chen Hui was surprised.
After all, Chen Guobiao looks big and strong and doesn't seem like he can do this kind of manual work.
"That's nothing. You can learn it after you get two."
As Chen Guobiao spoke, he picked up a stone and drew three lines on the ground.
He went into the village and took out a brush. He drew a small circle on the scarecrow's abdomen and said to Chen Hui:
"The next part of your training will be to use the slingshot to hit here."
"Stand on the nearest line first, and when you can basically hit them, stand on the line behind."
"When you can stand as far away as possible and hit the target every time, come find me again."
"Oh, no." Chen Hui wanted to say that he came here to learn shooting, not slingshot.
Before he could finish his words, Chen Guobiao fled into the village.
Forget it, I’ll just do whatever the master says.
We can't shoot with a gun, but shooting with a slingshot is easy, right?
Chen Hui was full of confidence. He picked up a stone and stood directly on the farthest line.
Place the stone, pull the slingshot, aim, and release!
Not hit.
Chen Hui was not convinced and tried again seriously.
First close your left eye and use your right eye to look at the circle drawn by Chen Guobiao.
Then avoid the right eye and aim with the left eye.
Then he was confused.
The positions that the eyes are aiming at are still a bit far apart.
"There is one thing that is the same between shooting a slingshot and shooting a gun."
"That means at least you need to know whether your aim is accurate or not, and you need to look with both eyes together to see the position, so that you can hit the place you want."
Chen Guobiao brought out a cup of hot tea and spoke while blowing the tea air.
"Hehehehe, got it."
As Chen Hui spoke, he grabbed a handful of stones and put them in his pocket.
Stand on the nearest line and practice diligently.
After an afternoon, he finally moved back a line, about three meters.
Chen Guobiao was very happy, looking at Chen Hui and said: "You are indeed a talented young man!"
"Uncle Guo Biao, stop comforting me. Is that all?" Chen Hui shook his head.
After a few days of training, it seems there is not much hope.
"That's it? You think this is easy? Basic skills are often the most difficult!"
"Wang Zheng spent more than a month thinking about these three lines but couldn't figure them out. In the end, he couldn't stand it anymore."
"Look at his shooting skills now."
Speaking of Wang Zheng, Chen Guobiao sighed and shook his head.
He patted Chen Hui on the shoulder and said, "Go back and work on your feel. Come back tomorrow to continue practicing." "Uncle Guo Biao, is this the end of today? No more guns?"
"I didn't say anything about using a gun!"
"Then you let me carry a gun?"
"I only said to bring your own guns and ammunition. Who asked you to bring them today?"
"So when do we start training with guns?"
"When the time comes, the gun will be used. I will notify you in advance."
"."
Chen Hui was speechless. He said goodbye to Chen Guobiao and took the gun back to Wu Jinhua's house and put it away.
Wang Kunhua saw Chen Hui coming over, smiled and waved to him over.
"Brother-in-law Wang, when did you come? I thought you wouldn't come in the afternoon." Chen Hui said over.
"Haha, after all, there are guests here, so we'll eat a little longer."
As Wang Kunhua spoke, he strode to the side, took a bag from the bicycle and handed it to Chen Hui.
"This is the tea your sister Juanjuan asked me to bring you. She said you like it."
Then he took out ten bills from his pocket and handed them to Chen Hui, "Here, this is the money from selling fish this morning."
Chen Hui took the tea and the money.
He took out five of them and handed them to Wang Kunhua: "That's too much. The fish we caught this morning wasn't big!"
"I don't know much about the market situation, but just take it." Wang Kunhua waved his hand and said.
The last time I sold that Neptune grouper, I had already charged He Juanjuan a lot more money.
This time, Chen Hui was very persistent and insisted on getting the extra money back from Wang Kunhua no matter what.
The two of them pushed and shoved each other back and forth.
The workers on the construction site laughed and said loudly, "Boss, if you don't want this good thing, why don't you give it to me?"
"When was your salary reduced?"
Wang Kunhua made a joke but couldn't persuade Chen Hui to put the money in his pocket.
"I'll keep the tea. Your tea is really good." Chen Hui said with a smile.
"I haven't tasted this tea yet. This bag was given to me by someone else."
"You know what kind of tea tastes good at your age, what kind of tea do you usually drink? You have such a sharp tongue!"
Wang Kunhua started chatting casually.
"I usually drink bad tea, so when I drink good tea, I can immediately feel the difference."
"It's easy to go from frugality to extravagance," said Chen Hui.
The workers had already packed up their things, and Wang Kunhua pushed his bicycle away with them.
Chen Hui put the gun and tea away and left the door of Wu Jinhua's house ajar.
Go to Lin Jiao's house for dinner.
"You've already sold three of the clam oil you brought back today!"
Talking about the store’s business at the dinner table, Lin Jiao said excitedly.
"Oh? I thought no one would buy it in the summer, so I didn't buy much."
"I didn't expect that there are so many fashionable people in our small village." Chen Hui said casually.
“Not trendy either!”
"Most of the time it's because I've done too much work and my fingernails are cracked and painful."
Lin Jiao said this and looked at her hands.
She hadn't been up the mountain for several days, and the cracks around her nails had healed a lot.
"I'm going to go up the mountain to pick some vegetables tomorrow. Chen Hui, can you come and help look after the store for half a day tomorrow morning?"
"Tomorrow?" Chen Hui hesitated.
If I catch some good fish at night, I will definitely rush to find Chen Yaozu the next morning.
Not to mention watching the store, he might not even be able to come back for lunch.
"I have to wait until I get back from fishing tonight to confirm what will happen tomorrow morning."
"If it doesn't work, let's wait a day and go pick vegetables the day after tomorrow?" Chen Hui said.
