To please others? It's better to please yourself.

Lü Hongyan nodded: "Nowadays, all public security officers are equipped with firearms, especially local police stations. They have a lot of outdated handguns, like Mauser pistols, Mauser pistols, revolvers, and Mauser C96 pistols. Some local government agencies are also equipped with Type 56 semi-automatic rifles and the like."

Xu Jing'an: "Then let's learn the 54-style first today."

吕红燕也不废话，从桌上拿起一把54就开始讲解：「54式7.62毫米手枪是我国仿製苏联TT1930/1933式手枪的产品，于1954年定型，所以命名为五四手枪。」

The May Fourth pistol was designed to eliminate targets, the more ruthless and thorough the better. Therefore, it possessed immense power, but also significant recoil.

"Therefore, after the first bullet is fired, it will seriously affect the accuracy of the second bullet."

After Lü Hongyan finished speaking, she drew her pistol, released the safety, cocked it, aimed, and fired.

A gunshot rang out, and the entire sequence of actions took only 2 seconds.

Xu Jing'an looked at the woman in front of him with shining eyes. Lü Hongyan turned her head and looked at Xu Jing'an seriously: "If you want to shoot well, the first thing you need to do is understand it."

Xu Jing'an listened attentively to what the girl opposite her was saying.

"Today we'll practice firing and loading the gun; this is called disassembly and assembly."

As Lü Hongyan spoke, she disassembled the Type 54 rifle.

"This includes the barrel, barrel cap, slide, slide block, recoil mechanism, recoil spring, firing mechanism, magazine, aiming device..."

In no time at all, it was disassembled into a pile of parts.

Xu Jing'an had a good memory; after watching it several times, she started to do it. Lü Hongyan only needed to give her two hints before she was able to load and fire the gun herself.

Two hours later, Lü Hongyan held Xu Jing'an's hand and taught her how to fire a gun.

"Remember the three key elements of shooting: First, keep your hand level, ensuring the crosshair and the notch are on the same horizontal line; second, keep your wrist firmly pressed against the target; third, pay attention to visual recovery. Ensure the crosshair and notch are clear, while the target is blurry."

With a thud, Xu Jing'an fired the first shot, following the force of Lü Hongyan's grip.

"Don't be nervous. You may not be used to the sound of gunfire at first. You'll get used to it with practice."

The empty shell casings that bounced out after firing were scalding hot and landed on my face and arms. I was startled the first time I wasn't prepared.

"Bang—" "Bang—"

Xu Jing'an had to pause and adjust after each shot.

When they got tired, they would fire and reload. After recovering, they would continue firing. Lü Hongyan also led Xu Jing'an in physical training—running 3000 meters.

By the time she rode her bike back, her legs were weak and her arms were so numb that she couldn't lift them.

Getting home wasn't the end of it; there were still sit-ups, frog jumps, and I even ate an extra bowl of rice!

When Shen He came home in the evening, he was worried about his wife, so he massaged her, applied hot compresses, and then rubbed safflower oil on her before bed. After this whole routine, Xu Jing'an was already fast asleep.

For more than half a month, Mr. Shen's eyelids kept twitching as he watched the scene, feeling that it looked familiar!

Early in the morning, he grabbed Shen He and said, "Son, can't we be a little more professional at work these days?"

Shen He looked at his father, completely bewildered, not understanding the meaning behind his words. "Dad, why are you saying this? I haven't stopped working every single day!"

I've been working myself to the bone lately, how did my dad figure out I was free?

He's been very busy lately. His wife is exhausted and in pain every day, and he doesn't even have time to come home to see her. He can only watch her suffer.

Sometimes he wondered if it was because she married him that she couldn't rely on him in crucial moments, which made her feel so insecure.

Recently, Director Qiao has been taking the time every now and then to ask him privately, "Shen He, has Comrade Xu Jing'an considered changing jobs?"

"Shen He, the troops have started praising Comrade Xu Jing'an recently. They say she can endure hardship, reacts quickly, and her marksmanship is getting better and better."

"Shen He, Comrade Xu Jing'an..."

They've already started practicing shooting before even leaving the city. If they were in a dangerous job, they wouldn't be able to stay still for even a second.

How can he live like this? His wife must be so scared she won't dare close her eyes.

Mr. Shen gestured with his lip: "Jing'an's been through so much, you dare say she's alright?"

Shen He turned his head and saw his wife practicing military boxing. It was clear that she was putting all her strength into every punch!

Several children looked curiously at Xu Jing'an, who was covered in sweat.

Nine-year-old Zhuangzhuang was already quite sensible: "Mom, quickly wipe your face!" he said, handing Xu Jing'an a towel.

Xu Jing'an took it and smiled as she patted Zhuangzhuang's head. "Oh, my son is the best."

DouDou asked curiously, "Mom, why did you suddenly decide to practice boxing?"

Xu Jing'an paused, wiping her sweat. If she had a choice, she wouldn't want to do it either. She didn't have any grand ambitions; she just wanted to live a good life and live a peaceful existence.

"Because Mom is getting a new map. I don't know the specifics, but if I don't work hard to prepare, I'm afraid I won't even have the chance to pretend to be a grandson."

She might not need these preparations, but at least she feels at ease. She clearly feels that her physical strength is better than before, and the muscles around her waist are firmer.

Shen He wouldn't dare say he knew everything about what other college students prepared before the start of the semester. But he dared to say that there were very few people in the whole country who prepared the same things as his wife.

Sometimes Shen He couldn't understand what kind of upbringing could make his wife feel insecure.

He knew that the Xu family was no ordinary family (now not only he knew, but his boss knew as well), but he was surprised that they could leave such a deep impression on him.

Mao Mao asked in surprise, "Mommy, if you can win a fight, you can become a grandpa?"

Shen He immediately sensed the awkwardness of the conversation and shouted, "Dinner—dinner—, dinner's ready!"

Xu Jing'an practiced until the 25th of the twelfth lunar month. She could disassemble and assemble everything from turtle shells to Type 54 pistols, and her accuracy improved significantly.

As soon as Xu Jing'an finished training, Qiao Fengchun received a call from the military that same day. He even specifically asked Shen He to come over and have a chat with him.

"How have you been lately?"

Shen He: "What? How's it going? Work's been pretty good lately!"

"Nonsense! How could I not know about work-related matters?" Qiao Fengchun glared.

"So what are you talking about?"

"I just got a call from the military, so I won't go into the praise. Have you asked Xiao Xu if she wants to change her major or job?"

Shen He thought for a moment and decided to shatter his illusions: "Director, are you perhaps misunderstanding something? My wife is already so timid, how can you bear to scare her any further?"

In all the time we've known each other, my wife has only worn leather shoes twice. He was puzzled and asked her why, and she explained: "You can't run fast in leather shoes!"

Qiao Fengchun waved his hand helplessly. Xu Jing'an was such a good comrade, but he was just too timid.

That evening, Shen He stroked his wife's abs, thinking: "I can't go to the army for a while; my wife will probably feel uneasy again. No, I'll just have to strain my back again!"

February 3, 78 (the 2th day of the twelfth lunar month)

On the day Shen's mother returned home before the Lunar New Year, Xu Jing'an finally received her acceptance letter from Peking University.
