On the other side, Ye Zhifan and the Deputy Chief Of Staff Du were chatting happily after three rounds of drinks and five dishes. The person who was talking to Xia Yiwei turned his head and looked at the private room behind him. He nodded gently and said, "Okay, don't worry, Secretary Xia. I'll contact you again if there's anything."
Xia Yiwei looked up at the man who was still playing chess with the old man in the tearoom. She murmured, "Mm," and hung up the phone.
She didn't know what the old man was up to. He usually played chess to relieve boredom, and it was about once a week. This time, after the New Year's Eve dinner on New Year's Eve, the old man asked Hou Zi to play chess with him. It was the same on the first day of the New Year, and it was the same on the second day of the New Year. Except for the meal, the rest of the time was spent playing chess.
What surprised her even more was that Hou Zi, a guy who was not stingy, actually had such good patience to play chess with the old man.
The old man didn't speak while playing chess, and he wouldn't talk to him even if they fought for the whole morning … He could endure it.
She let a man who wanted to find something to do in his spare time accompany the old man to play chess after dinner, eat after chess, and not talk after dinner …
Xia Yiwei looked at the man sitting cross-legged again, and then looked at the old man with white hair. Forget it, she'd better talk with the old lady.
Family Xia was a big family. The old man, Xia Yunkui, was born in a prominent family, and his ancestors were officials for generations.
The old lady, Su Rong, was a famous daughter of a scholarly family in the capital. Although her ancestors were not as good as Family Xia's, at that time, the Su family had a daughter and everyone wanted her.
The old lady had a total of four sons and one daughter. Except for Xia Yiwei's father, Old Lady Su's second son, Xia Anbang, who died in the line of duty, the other three sons and one daughter were all promising.
Every New Year, the quiet old house of Family Xia was the liveliest. The younger generation of the family rushed back to the old house to accompany the old man and the old lady to celebrate the New Year.
However, there were also those who couldn't come back, such as Xia Jinyuan and the others. Most of the younger generation of the family had joined the army and were scattered all over China. It was normal to not see them once a year.
For people with Family Separation, it was normal for them not to see each other for a few years.
When Xia Yiwei came over, his elder brother, Xia Lingxiao, mentioned his sixth son, Xia Jinyuan. "Come to think of it, I haven't seen him in four years. I thought I would be able to meet him this time and see what the famous devil of the family has become. Who would have thought that I wouldn't have the chance."
"Big Brother, you haven't seen Sixth Brother for four years. I haven't seen Sixth Brother for about four years as well." A slightly older man with an imposing bearing peeled an orange as he lamented, "Back then, Sixth Brother told me that he wanted to apply for the military academy. I was so shocked. Even the Devil's Incarnate wanted to apply for the military academy? Big Family Xia Incident! "
The one who spoke was Xia Jinyuan's third brother, who was engaged in missile research and development. He was a military engineer working somewhere in the northwest of China.
He was transferred to the northwest and didn't return home for four years. He didn't even call home for four years. It wasn't until a certain missile was successfully developed and mass produced that he got a one-month leave to visit his family.
Xia Jinyuan's eldest brother had also joined the army. He was the eldest son of his uncle, Xia Anguo. He was 41 years old this year and was now a brigade commander.
Unlike the eldest son of the Deputy Chief Of Staff Du, Du Kaiwei, the fourth son of the Family Xia, Xia Yiwei's elder brother, Xia Yuzheng, was 36 years old this year. He was also serving in a brigade in the Nanguang Military Region. He was also a regiment commander, but his military rank was one level higher than Du Kaiwei's. He was a colonel.
Fortunately, they all wore casual clothes during the New Year. Otherwise, it would be scary to see a room full of military uniforms and military ranks.
