Chapter 1384: I Fiddle With the Latest Firearm Models
“Mom, what time do you finish work?” Just when Liu Shan looked a little stiff in expression, Yun Jian came to Qin Yirou and asked softly.
“I finish at 10:30am. There’s still one and an half hour, Xiao Jian. Go home first. I’ll go back and make you lunch in a while!” Qin Yirou went to Yun Jian as she spoke, holding a bouquet of flowers that had yet to be trimmed.
She put the bouquet down and moved around Yun Jian before commenting with a frown, “The month-long military training didn’t make you darker but thinner. I’m cooking more meat dishes today to fatten you up!”
Qin Yirou said in worry. Her daughter was already so thin yet she got thinner as one month of military training went by. She felt her heart ache for her girl.
“Mom, I didn’t get thinner. I weighed myself when I came back. I got half a kilogram heavier,” Yun Jian replied, rubbing Qin Yirou’s slightly callused hand.
Truth to be told, Yun Jian did get heavier. Their height and weight were taken at the start and end of the military training.
It was actually just Qin Yirou’s assumption as a mother in feeling that Yun Jian had lost weight. She thought that there was no way Yun Jian would not lose some weight when she had gone to the military school for training for one whole month.
“You’re still too thin! You need to nourish yourself with good food!” Qin Yirou held Yun Jian’s hand instead and said patting the back of it.
While the two of them talked, they completely disregarded Liu Shan. It only served to disgruntle the latter even more.
“How could the military training last a month? Isn’t it usually just seven days?” Liu Shan asked Qin Yirou and glared at Yun Jian as she spoke.
“My daughter’s in the military school. Military training for military schools go on for a month,” Qin Yirou explained to Liu Shan with a smile after she patted Yun Jian’s hand.
The manager of the florist came in through the entrance during then. She was rather young, being only in her thirties.
It was said that this florist belonged to the manager, a woman named Wen Min. She had opened it when she was in her twenties. The business ran for over ten years just like that, growing from a small flower shop to the biggest florist in Longmen City. There was no doubt that Wen Min was someone capable.
As Wen Min came in from outside, she went up to Qin Yirou and Liu Shan to tell them, “Don’t leave yet when you finish work during noon. I’m taking everyone in the shop for lunch at the nearby restaurant. If you have family members at home who are waiting for you to go back and prepare lunch, ask them to join us!”
Wen Min was a generous florist owner. Considering the fact that she had many employees who needed to go home to prepare lunch for their children or husband, she decided to ask them to invite their family here to have lunch together.
Wen Min was slightly taken aback when she saw Yun Jian before she turned to ask Qin Yirou, “Is this your daughter? She’s very beautiful. Remember to take her with you for lunch later!”
Wen Min reminded and left after she exchanged some pleasantries with Qin Yirou.
Qin Yirou did not reject the owner’s invitation. Since the latter had already extended the invitation, Qin Yirou told Yun Jian, “Xiao Jian, go have a seat at the stool on the side and have some rest. Go to lunch with me later.”
Qin Yirou told Yun Jian that since there was no one at home and the kids were in school.
“Mn.” Yun Jian listened to what she said and went over to the chair available on the side for a rest, getting several books on weaponry that Mu Ying had given her out from her backpack to browse through them.
Although she knew the weapons well and had used almost all the ones existing be it a jet, tank or canon, the information on the books were comprehensive and the authors and editors of each book wrote about the weapons differently.
While she was engrossed in them, a mocking voice rang from the side, “Oh wow, you’re reading? What books are you reading? What… ‘Famous Guns in the World’? T-this? Can you understand these books as a girl?”
It was Liu Shan. She felt that she had failed to seek a sense of importance before Yun Jian just now and came to comment sarcastically right now with the intention of teaching the girl a lesson.
She had thought that Yun Jian was reading academic books and thought that she was weak in her grades, so she wanted to mock the latter if she deserved to read these books because of how poor she had done academically. It was thus unexpected that Yun Jian was reading books to do with weapons.
The reply that greeted Liu Shan was even more shocking. Yun Jian answered indifferently, “Mn, I can understand them but the actual handling is quite different. These people writing the book don’t know the guns well enough.”
Liu Shan exclaimed at once, “Listen to yourself! You mean you’ve handled these guns in real life?!”
Yun Jian closed the book and got up, turning to look at Liu Shan and reply in slight disdain, “These guns are outdated. They’re mostly pistols that can’t do much damage. I fiddle with the latest firearm models now.”
