Reborn at Boot Camp: General, Don't Mess Around!

Chapter 2014: Xia Family

On the other hand, Ye Zhifan and Staff Officer Du were having a few drinks and chatting happily. The person who was talking to Xia Yiwei turned around and looked at the private room behind him. He nodded lightly. “Okay. Secretary Xia, don’t worry. I’ll contact you if there’s anything.”

Xia Yiwei looked up at the man who was still playing chess with the old master in the tea room. She hummed softly and hung up.

She didn’t know what the old master was up to. He usually played chess to relieve his boredom. He only played chess once a week. This time, after the New Year’s Eve dinner, the old master asked Hou Zi to play chess with him. It was like this on the first day and also the second day. Other than eating, he spent the rest of his time playing chess.

What made her even more surprised was Hou Zi. He was not impatient at all. He played round after round with the old master.

The old man played chess without saying a word. He wouldn’t speak to him even after playing for an entire morning... but Hou Zi could still endure it.

This man who couldn’t stand having a spare minute had been constantly playing chess with the old master. They only ever ate and played chess. They weren’t even talking...

Xia Yiwei looked at the man sitting cross-legged, then at the old man with white hair. Forget it, she should go talk to the old madam.

The Xia family was considered a big family. Grandpa Xia came from a prominent background, and his ancestors were officials for generations.

The old madam, Su Rongjing, was the most famous daughter of a scholarly family. Although her ancestors were not as good as the Xia family, hundreds of families had begged to get her to marry into their families.

The old madam had a total of four sons and one daughter. Other than Xia Yiwei’s father, who was also Old Madam Su’s second son, Xia Anbang, who died in the line of duty, the other three sons and one daughter were all successful.

Every Lunar New Year, the quiet and peaceful Xia Mansion would be the liveliest. The younger generations of the family would rush back to the old mansion to celebrate the occasion with the elderly couple.

However, there were also those who couldn’t come back. For example, most of the juniors had joined the military and were scattered all over the country. It was normal that they didn’t see each other.

To the Xia family, it was normal to not see each other for a few years.

When Xia Yiwei came over, her older brother, Xia Ling, mentioned Little Six—Xia Jinyuan. “I haven’t seen Little Six for four years. I thought that I could meet him when I came back this time. I wanted to see what the famous devil incarnate was like. I didn’t expect that I wouldn’t have a chance.”

“Big Brother, you and Little Six haven’t seen each other for four years. Little Six and I haven’t seen each other for almost four years as well.” An older man with an imposing appearance peeled an orange as he lamented. “Back then, Little Six told me that he wanted to apply for military school. I was shocked that the devil incarnate wanted to apply for military school. It was a big incident in the Xia family!”

The person who spoke was Xia Jinyuan’s third brother. He was in the research and development of the military engineering department. He was working somewhere in the northwest of the country.

He had been transferred to the northwest region for four years and had not returned home prior to this. He had not had a single phone call for four years. It was not until a certain director had successfully invested a large amount of money into the project that he received a month of leave.

Xia Jinyuan’s elder brother had also joined the military. He was the eldest son of the eldest uncle, Xia Anguo. He was 41 years old this year and was now the commander of a certain brigade.

Xia Yiwei’s older brother, Xia Yuzheng, was 36 years old and serving in a military brigade in the Nanguang Military District. His position was also an official, but his military rank was one rank higher than Du Kaiwei. He was a colonel.

Fortunately, everyone was dressed in casual clothes during the new year. Otherwise, seeing all the military uniforms in the room would be terrifying.
