Liu Gang was happy for a while before he seemed to remember something and said:

"Oh, I have something else to talk to you about. I almost forgot."

Li Xu was stunned for a moment, "What's the matter?"

"Practice shooting. Let's go and talk as we go."

Li Xu perked up when he heard the word "gun". Which man can resist the temptation of a gun?

I hurriedly followed him to ask the reason.

Only then did I realize that Li Xu's three apprentices sometimes had to escort the truck, so in order to prevent them from not knowing how to use guns, he took them to practice first.

Although a large-scale gun surrender campaign was carried out in recent years, the results have been limited. A large number of guns are still in the hands of the public. For example, some factory security guards have not only guns but also anti-aircraft guns. Furthermore, public security is not very good, so some people in certain professions are allowed to carry guns, including teachers...

As for the driver, there is no need to say more. No one dares to go a little further without a gun.

It wasn't until the 1980s that gun control regulations were re-enacted. Then, in the 1990s, the famous "Battle of Majingele" took place. The two villages deployed hundreds of homemade artillery pieces, covering an area of ​​two kilometers. The tactical competition between the two sides was unparalleled...

In this way, the vigorous gun control movement began.

By the time of Li Xu's generation, few people had even touched a gun.

I heard that some universities have target practice during military training. I don't know if it's true or not, but Li Xu didn't have this during his university military training...

Li Xu followed Liu Gang to the logistics department and received a Mauser pistol and two magazines of bullets.

The Mauser pistol, also known as the Mauser pistol or box gun, has its problems, but in Li Xu's opinion, this is the only gun in the logistics department that is more suitable for him.

Li Xu walked while looking at the gun over and over again, with a smile constantly appearing on his face.

At this time, Liu Gang's voice came, "Why are you so happy to see this gun?"

Li Xu didn't even look up as he excitedly responded, "This is my first time touching a gun. How can I not be happy?"

"Then you'll have plenty of opportunities to be happy in the future."

After hearing this, Li Xu realized that there would be many opportunities to get this gun in the future!

Suddenly I felt bored.

Carrying the gun, Liu Gang and I walked to a woods outside the county town. When we arrived, we saw two older men practicing there with two younger men.

Li Xu thought that the two young men should be the other two apprentices who came in with him this time.

After seeing Liu Gang and Li Xu, the four of them stopped and introduced themselves to each other.

Only then did Li Xu know that the other two apprentices were named Su Weidong and Xiao Jianping.

Su Weidong has a paler complexion and is the oldest of the three. He is also more taciturn.

Xiao Jianping is darker, also 15 years old this year, but a few months younger than Li Xu. He is also more lively and talks non-stop.

There is also Su Weidong's teacher, Master Song, who looks to be around 40 years old. He is also a silent person and stopped talking after saying hello. Xiao Jianping's teacher, Master Qi, on the other hand, said a few words with a kind face.

Seeing this scene, Li Xu thought happily in his heart, could it be that the two of them chose teachers based on their personalities?

After a while, Li Xu completed his first shooting under the guidance of Liu Gang.

After practicing only two shots, the other four had already finished and left.

I corrected my movements and practiced like this, and soon I had finished the two magazines I brought with me.

The two of them returned to the supply and marketing cooperative's motorcade, talking and laughing.

The two men first went to the logistics department to return the guns, and then returned to the car, where Liu Gang guided Li Xu to recognize the parts and their general functions.

Li Xu also studied hard, and the whole morning passed like this.

At lunch time, Li Xu and Liu Gang went to the cafeteria together with their lunch boxes.

There were not many people eating at that time. Liu Gang took Li Xu to heat up the food first, and then said he was going to talk to an acquaintance. He left Li Xu speechlessly and watched him sit at another table and eat and chat with a few men in their 30s and 40s.

At this time, Li Xu's eyes lit up, and he saw Su Weidong and Xiao Jianping also coming with their teacher, and shouted twice.

After all, humans are social animals. Not to mention eating, they even want to call others to go to the toilet together.

The two of them said something to the teacher next to them, and then came to Li Xu together.

Li Xu saw the two of them carrying lunch boxes and asked, "Did you bring food from home or come to the cafeteria to get food?"

Xiao Jianping chuckled and said, "It was fine if we ate in the cafeteria before, but not now. We both have to bring food from home."

Su Weidong also nodded.

Li Xu said, "Then you two should go and heat up the food quickly, and then come over to eat."

The two nodded and turned to leave.

After a while, the two came back with hot lunch boxes.

Li Xu and the other two ate and chatted.

Only then did I realize that these two were sons of supply and marketing cooperative employees and they were friends before.

Li Xu also learned some things about the supply and marketing cooperative from them.

In fact, it was Xiao Jianping who was talking alone, and Li Xu and the other two were listening.

Li Xu didn't know how he could talk so much. He was so excited and talked incessantly.

After lunch, the three of them could barely be considered friends.

There was still nothing to do in the afternoon, so Liu Gang took Li Xu to continue studying.

There's no way around it, their job is so "plain and simple". When they're busy, they can spend one or two months in the car on a long-distance trip, but when they're not busy, they have nothing to do.

Li Xu's first day of work ended in the process of learning.

While having dinner in the evening, Sun Xiu and the others were still asking about how the first day at work went.

Li Xu can only say that this is very good, and his teacher is also very good.

The family was also satisfied with the answer and kept reminding Li Xu to be serious, diligent, and have a keen eye on work in the future.

Li Xu also kept agreeing with them, saying that he would listen to everything they said.

Li Xu still spent the next day studying.

In fact, according to Liu Gang, there is nothing more to learn, what is lacking now is practice.

You can only wait until the car has problems in the future and then slowly accumulate operating experience.

There’s no other way. We can’t just dismantle the car and rebuild it, right?

No one in the current fleet would dare to do that. If there were some problems and they could just fix it, it would be fine. But if they really dismantled it, not to mention the entire fleet, Li Xu estimated that there might not be anyone in the entire county who could restore it...

When Li Xu was about to walk to the gate after get off work in the afternoon, he suddenly heard a voice calling him from behind.

Li Xu was stunned. He turned his head and saw that it was Liu Gang who was running and calling him, so he stood there and waited.
