Zhong Wei and Hong Xuezhi discussed visiting Huang Kecheng and took the driver Xiao Li
One day in April 1980, Zhong Wei walked into Hong Xuezhi's office, and they planned to visit Huang Kecheng together, and Zhong Wei asked Hong Xuezhi what gift it was better to bring.
The two had already discussed, and they would find a time to see the old chief together.
Huang Kecheng's temper is a headache, Zhong Wei went to visit the old chief, but he would be reprimanded for bringing any special products. Hong Xuezhi had a flash of inspiration and suggested that Zhong Wei take Xiao Li, who drove him before.
Zhong Wei shook his head and said that Xiao Li had been promoted to be the deputy commander of the automobile company, but he had good skills and a high level of education, and he also won the first place in the military region competition two years ago.
Hong Xuezhi inquired about Zhong Wei's situation in Beijing and said that he was glad to have the opportunity to take him to meet the chief. Although Zhong Wei felt a little confused, Hong Xuezhi sold a pass and asked him to do it, only saying that the chief would be happy.
In addition, Hong Xuezhi also proposed to eat hot pot at the chief's house and asked Zhong Wei to bring some dishes over.
In order to satisfy Huang Kecheng's love for hot pot, but don't want him to eat badly because he saves money, Hong Xuezhi and Zhong Wei decided to take their original driver Xiao Li to Huang Kecheng's house to eat hot pot together on the weekend.
Although the departure time was late, almost 11 o'clock, they knew that Huang Kecheng would leave them for dinner. On the way, Zhong Wei asked Hong Xuezhi why he brought Xiao Li here, and Hong Xuezhi just smiled and said that he would know the answer when he got there.
Hong Xuezhi and Zhong Wei hurried to Huang Kecheng's house, and Huang Kecheng was already waiting in the courtyard. Seeing the two old comrades-in-arms, Huang Kecheng was very happy and enthusiastically invited them into the living room.
Hong Xuezhi asked Huang Kecheng: "Chief, we are late, and now that it is time for dinner, can you let us stay for a meal?" Huang Kecheng readily agreed: "Of course, let my family cook for you." ”
Zhong Wei took over the conversation and said to Huang Kecheng: "Originally, we wanted to eat hot pot outside, and we all ordered good dishes, but Hong Xuezhi suddenly wanted to come to see you, so we brought all the dishes over."
How about you prepare some more ingredients and we'll start a fire here? ”
That's right, if you really take me, I'll really throw it! ”
Huang Kecheng attended a meeting, and Hong Xuezhi said to him mysteriously: "We bring a person, and it will definitely make you happy." Huang Kecheng's eyes widened and he asked, "Who is he?" ”
Hong Xuezhi replied with a smile: "He is one of our young cadres, but he was a well-known Go player before he joined the army, and he has reached the professional level, he wants to play a few games of chess with you, what do you think?" ”
When Huang Kecheng heard this, his spirits were uplifted: "Okay, let's come now, finish two plates and then open the meal and eat hot pot!" After Zhong Wei heard this, he suddenly realized why Hong Xuezhi wanted to bring this young cadre over.
Huang Kecheng was obsessed with Go in his later years, and although his chess skills were not as good as those of professional players, he was already an amateur master. He especially likes to play against unfamiliar masters, and if he is fine, he can even feel tired for the next day.
Looking at Huang Kecheng's expression of concentrating on playing chess, Zhong Wei quietly glanced at Hong Xuezhi, and the eyes of the two met and smiled tacitly.
