After dinner.
In a guest room on the first floor of the villa.
Dong Xuebing's head was dizzy as he drank the tea Xie Huilan had passed to him.
Only the two of them are in the room, and Xie Huilan shook her head and laughed. "If you can't drink, then don't drink."
"Why should I not drink when others offer me a toast?" Dong Xuebing leaned on the chair. "If I don't drink, I will lose face. Even if I lose my face, I will not lose yours." If this is a dinner with Yan Tai County leaders, Dong Xuebing doesn't mind not drinking. But this is different. If he can't decline, he will decline. If he can't decline, he will drink. Sometimes, his reputation is more important than his health.
Xie Huilan laughed and straightened Dong Xuebing's collar. "You have done something for us, ok?"
Dong Xuebing nodded and asked. "Huilan, why are you so gentle today?"
"Haha …" Xie Huilan narrowed her eyes. "You think I am not gentle? Right? "
"Errr … no." Dong Xuebing quickly replied. "I am gentle in the past."
Knock, knock, knock. Xie Hao knocked on the door and asked them to leave.
Whether it was Xie Guobang or Xie Guoliang, everyone present was busy. Of course, they couldn't stay for a long time. At 7: 30 pm, they left one after another. Only Ci Lifen, the elder, was left. She originally wanted to stay and accompany the Old Master for a while, but the unit called her. There was an urgent matter. Ci Lifen was embarrassed to say goodbye to everyone and drove out of the villa.
Only Senior Xie and a few juniors are left in the villa.
Xie Ran called out to Xie Huilan. "Sis, I have something to tell you."
"Ok." Xie Huilan nodded. "Let's go."
Senior Xie drank his medicine and closed his eyes to take a nap on the sofa. He did not even look at Dong Xuebing or speak to him. After Xie Huilan left, there are fewer people in the room, and Dong Xuebing cannot find an excuse to leave. He can only sit there and drink his tea. From time to time, he will say something to Xie Jing and Xie Hao. It's awkward.
Dong Xuebing felt dizzy and still had to endure the pain.
Dong Xuebing gritted his teeth when he saw Xie Hao and Xie Jing sitting beside Senior Xie, chatting with him. This Senior Xie is really vengeful. I had only talked back to him and beat him in chess once. Look at how magnanimous he is to ignore me. If I knew this would happen, I would not have given you a fifty years old wild ginseng. I should have given you five years old wild ginseng.
How infuriating!
Suddenly, Xie Hao helped Dong Xuebing out of the awkward situation. "Brother-in-law, let's go to the backyard to train!"
"Ok." Dong Xuebing can't wait to leave.
But Senior Xie said to Xie Hao. "If you want to practice, go ahead." Senior Xie stood up and walked towards the staircase. "Xiao Dong, play chess with me." The Primary Care Doctor laughed and followed Senior Xie upstairs.
Dong Xuebing was stunned. Chess? What is the meaning of this?
Xie Hao got excited. "I will also watch!" He knows Dong Xuebing is good at chess.
Senior Xie, who was walking up the stairs, suddenly asked. "Aren't you going to practice your martial arts?"
"Hehe … why should I practice when there is a good show to watch? Count me in!" Xie Hao loves to join in the fun.
Xie Jing is smarter than Xie Hao. She immediately stops Xie Hao and stares at him. She then points at Dong Xuebing with her chin and shook her head. It's obvious Senior Xie wants to sit alone with Dong Xuebing, and Xie Hao will only cause trouble if he goes. Xie Hao knew what is going on and sat on the sofa.
Dong Xuebing followed Xie Hao upstairs.
Senior Xie sat behind a mahogany table in an antique room. He gestured to Dong Xuebing to sit down.
The helpers had set up the chess table and left with the Primary Care Doctor. Only Dong Xuebing and Senior Xie are left in the room.
Old Master Xie did not say anything and did not stand on ceremony. He picked up the red flag and jumped off his horse.
Dong Xuebing is puzzled. Senior Xie had been ignoring him all this while, and why did he suddenly want to play chess with him? But at this point, he can only play along. He picked up the black chess piece and made a move. Two moves. Five moves. Ten moves. Twenty moves. This time, there are no Chess experts watching, and Dong Xuebing cannot cheat. Within ten minutes, the first game is over. Senior Xie is the winner.
Senior Xie looks at Dong Xuebing. "Have a good time."
Dong Xuebing smiled. "I was lucky to win against you the last time. My chess skills are not good."
"… again." Senior Xie asked Dong Xuebing to leave first.
The second game ended twenty minutes later, and Senior Xie won again.
Senior Xie did not show any impatience and suddenly said. "You are not serious? Then let me provoke you. "He called the helpers over." Bring a bottle of Maotai and two glasses over. "Senior Xie looks at Dong Xuebing." The next game will start. The loser will drink one glass as a penalty. "
"Ah? Err … I can't drink anymore. "
"… then have a good time."
"Huh? I am really going to have a good time."
Dong Xuebing's protest did not work, and the game started again.
In the third round, Dong Xuebing lost again and was fined one glass of Maotai. Dong Xuebing forced himself to drink the 8 qian glass of Maotai. It was burning and made him dizzy.
The second glass …
The third glass …
After a few games, Dong Xuebing felt dizzy. He had drunk too much this time.
"Continue." Senior Xie said.
Dong Xuebing tried to grab a chess piece, but his hands were empty after a few tries. In the end, he picked up Senior Xie's pawn and moved it like he was jumping on a horse.
Old Master Xie was amused. "What kind of game is this?"
Dong Xuebing replied angrily. "No … no … I can tell you are trying to force me to drink. That's right. Drink me to drink!" Dong Xuebing stuttered. "I … I will not fall for your tricks. Hehe … I will not … play anymore …" Dong Xuebing's hands were on the chessboard, and his body was swaying.
Senior Xie asked. "Not playing anymore? Then let's have a chat. "
Dong Xuebing looked at Senior Xie. "What do I want to talk to you about? We have … have … a generation gap, and we can't be on the same page. " Alcohol makes a coward brave, and Dong Xuebing is not a coward. After drinking so much, he got up from his chair and sat on Senior Xie's chair. "Hmmm … your chair is more comfortable."
Senior Xie laughed and looked at Dong Xuebing. "How do you know we can't be on the same page if we haven't chatted before? You can find a topic to talk about. "
"Talk … topic?" Dong Xuebing smacked his lips. "Then … just tell me what you are doing. Boss, why do you look so … so angry? I don't want to scold you, but your expression is too … too ugly. If you have anything against me, just … just tell me!"
"Straight face?" Senior Xie shook his head and laughed. "What do you know? Before I retired, I had been laughing all day. Do you know how Huilan looks like? She is like her. Just like her, you have to smile when you see the commoners, but you can't be too serious. You have to smile when you see the officials, but you can't let them know what you're thinking. You have to smile when you see the officials of other countries, and you can't cause a diplomatic conflict between two countries. Smile, smile, smile. I've been smiling for decades, and I'm tired of smiling.
Dong Xuebing suddenly put his arm around Senior Xie's shoulder. "So … Old Xie, it's not easy for you!"
Senior Xie's brows twitched.
Dong Xuebing patted Senior Xie's shoulder. "Old Xie, get over it. It's fine. You … did you see me? Did you see me? They say that I'm too young, too impulsive, this is not right, that's not right. I also … also know that sometimes I don't consider the consequences when I do things. I know that. But when it comes to you, and you're forced to do it, you can't not do it. The relative of the County Party Secretary beat up the people from our station. If I don't arrest him, what will my colleagues think of me? Our Chinese are beaten up in Korea! If I … if I don't go and challenge them! Where can the commoners go to seek justice?! "
Dong Xuebing got more agitated and beat his chest. "So what if I am impulsive?! So what if I did something wrong?! I have a clear conscience towards the commoners! Even if I am demoted one day! I will walk on the streets! I will walk on the streets! I will still be able to hold my head high! I will not let my conscience down! "
Old Master Xie laughed. "I have a clear conscience! Good! Good! "
"Old Xie, I realized … you are quite … nice to look at!"
"Hahaha." Senior Xie laughed. "I have lived for so many years, and this is the first time someone gave me such an evaluation. Nice to look at!"
The doctor outside the door could not take it anymore and quickly entered. "Xiao Dong, you are drunk. Let's go downstairs. Don't disturb Senior Xie's rest!" The doctor was speechless. Dong Xuebing dares to say anything after drinking. Old Xie? How dare you call me that?!
Dong Xuebing gave him a stare. "We are having a good chat. Why are you going downstairs?!"
Senior Xie laughed. "We are having a good chat. It's none of your business!"
"Senior Xie."
"Get out!" Senior Xie waved his hand to chase the doctor out and said. "Xiao Dong, carry on."
Dong Xuebing put his arm over Senior Xie's shoulder. "What else is there to say? Oh, let's talk about the engagement you gave to Sister Xie. Old Xie, you did not do the right thing … "
"About this, do you know what I was thinking at that time?"
"I don't care … I don't care what you think. You are not right!"
Senior Xie's laughter could be heard in the room, and they could be heard downstairs.
